discussion Of a change in the

at the head Of the ticket are
getting a little out Of date, and
should be eliminated. The

near creating serious confusion
at the recent election. The

PITS FOR STORING
WINTER VEGETABLES
War Garden Commission Sub
mits Plans

Several small pits are better
than one large pit for the home
storing of vegetables, says the Ma
tional War Garden Commission, of
Washington. In the coldest Sec
tions of the country, however, pits
are not recommended because they
cannot be made frostproof.
Make pits holding about a BUSH
ell and put one portion of each
vegetable in each one $50 as that
a complete supply for few weeks
may be taken out at one time. 1t
lis somewhat troublesome to open
and close a large pit to secure an
occasional supply of vegetables.
Plan to divide up your root crops
into lots to last certain length
of time and put one portion of
each vegetable in each small pit,
then when needed empty the pit
and store the vegetables in a cool
place for daily use. First send a
two cent stamp to the National
War Garden Commission for free
storage book.
To make one of these pits level
off space of ground three or four
feet square and spread a few
inches of waste hay, straw or
leaves over it. Place the vegetables
on this in a cone shape and cover
with a few inches of the same ma
terial. Throw several inches of
earth over this and as the weather
becomes colder add more earth and
then cover with straw, manure,
waste hay or cornstalks. The win
ter temperature will determine the
thickness of the earth and other
covering, but be sure to have
enough to keep out the frost.
A large pit is made like a small,
one, says the bulletin, except that
the straw a few inches across the
top is not covered with earth
Build up the peak with extra straw
to keep out the frost. This small
portion of straw thus forms a ven.
tilating f1ue for the pit. Lay &
board over it and weight it dowr
with a STONE, or mail two shor
boards together at right angles tt
make a trough to invert over thu
peak of the pit. Throw some eartl
over this cap to- hold it in place.

VIII Report Cold
Storage Spaces

Owing to the necessity for OBJ
taining large supplies of beef for
the use of the Army and Navy at
a time when it is available, the de-
mands of the War and Navy De-
partments for cold-storage space
are resulting in a shortage of
space required for ordinary COM
mercial uses. The Food Admins
tration has requested the Depart
ment of Agriculture to render
assistance in this emergency. Ac-
cordingly the Bureau of Markets
is obtaining monthly reports from
public cold-storage warehouses
concerning cold-storage and freez-
ing space, and will endeavor from
time to time to answer inquiries
from the trade concerning such
space available in various sections
of the country as indicated by re-
ports received.

Fish Meal for Hogs

To stimulate greater interest in
the production of fish meal, which
is a good substitute for tankage in
the feeding of hogs, E. z. Russell,
in charge of swine Investigations
for the United States Department
of Agriculture, recently visited a
number of fisheries along the Gulf
coast as we'll as number of mark
citing centers in the South. Tests
conducted by the department show
that fish meal is equal in feeding
value to tankage. 1t contains about
81 per cent protein. 1t is made by
drying nonedible fish and grind
ing fine. This meal is baing used
at the Government farm at Belts
willie, Md, to replace tankage. The
menhaden fisheries on the Atlantic
coast can produce annually 10000
tons of fish meal. Fisheries along
the Gulf States and Mississippi
River have been wasting or manu-
featuring as fertilizer large guam
titles of nonedible fish. Mr.. Rus
SELLS visit to- the Gulf States was
to investigate the feasibility and
to urge the fisheries to manufac-
ture these nonedible fish into fish
meal for swine feeding.

FOURTH MEAL UNNECESSARY
Banquets and Social Eating Functions
Should Take Place OF Regular
Nourjshment

The fourth meal is just as unneces-
sary as the fifth wheel on cart. 1t
is not necessary for health, and not
necessary for social purposes at this
time.
The Food Administration recognizes
the value Of the sociability engendered
by function where refreshments are
served. But it believes that any such
function, ouch as a theatre supper or
afternoon tea, which constitutes a
fourth meal, is unpatriotic and con-
trary to the principles Of conservation
and labor.
The Food Administration is there
fore requesting that afternoon teas
and theatre suppers be discontinued
until after the war. The consump-
tion of sandwiches, cakes and sugar
which usually accompany these meals,
especially afternoon tea, makes an un-
necessary waste of foodstuffs.
There will often be legitimate occa-
siOns for banquets, club lunches,
church suppers or similar functions
In such case the Food Administration
asks that the hours, when these are
held be so regulated that the banquet
or luncheon takes the place OF one Of
the three regular home meals. Indeed
such a meal may well serv\ as a les
son in intelligent food ccI prvation.

Substitutes for Gasoline

The scarcity and high cost of
gasoline and the restrictions on it's
use for private purposes in many
European countries have led to ex-
periments with many substitutes.
In England they are using coal
gas, but the containers for it are
awkard in appearance and given to
leaking. In Norway acetyline gas
has been tried with some success.
According to the American consul
at Christiana, a Norwegian has
adapted it to motor boat propul-
sion; his invention is said to be a
decided improvement over similar
devices. Water drops through a
tube on the carbide, and the gas
that forms is led to the carbureter
where it is purified and driven to
the motor. The cost averages
twenty-one cents a horsepower
hour, which is not cheap; but over
there price no longer enters into
the matter. The demand for the
new device is already consider
able, for the company that manu-
factures it has already several
thousand orders. For the time be-
ing the new system can be adapted
only to benzine motors, but the in
ventor is working on an improve
ment that will make it possible to
use it in connection with petrol
cum motors too.- Youths Com

EUROPE NEEDS SUGAR
U. S. Must Provide Nations Torn BY
War With Sweets Until Next
Harvest

BY increasing the monthly allotment
of sugar from two to three pounds OF
sugar per capita, the Food Admins
tration emphatically declared today
that this must not be taken as mean
ing that the conservation of food
stuffs generally is not now fully as
important as it was at the height of
the sugar shortage. While the sugar
situation has improved, largely due to
the splendid aid of the American
housewife in reducing consumption,
and also by the availability Of new
domestic cane and beet sugar, the
needs for the greater exports in other
lines is no less marked. The United
States must increase the food exports
than last years.
The prominent part which the Amer
lean woman has played in conserving
sugar is best understood by COMPARE
son of our consumption of sugar dur
ing the past four months with the
consumption for similar period in
normal times Normal consumption
of sugar for the months of July, Aug
ust, September and October was ap-
proXimately 100000 pounds per month,
or 100000 pounds for the four
months. Following the appeal for
suga" conservation there was saved
approximately 100000 pounds during
that period of this year. Seventy per
cent of the sugar consumed in the
United States is used in the home.
Last spring when we had only 90
100000 bushels of wheat for export
above our normal requirements, the
American people made sacrifices by
saving thai enabled us to send no.
100000 additional bushels of wheat
besides the normal exportable surplus.
Of this the housewife alone saved
total of 100000 barrels of -four or
a saving equivalent to approximately
twenty-four pounds Of -four for every
| man, woman and child in the United
| States.
The same loyal spirit of sacrifice
has been shown in the sugar conser-
vation program and 1t is confidently
felt by the Food Administration that
the American people will give renew
ed devotion to the food program which
calls for greater saving on all sta.
pie food commodities.

ASK FARMERS NOT To
KILL YOUNG TURKEYS
Other Details Advised by Food
Administration to Pre-
vent Waste.

In order to discourage the wastefln
practice of selling young turkeys be-
fore they mature, and to increase the
amount of poultry flesh, the Food Ad-
ministration has placed time limlta-
tiOns on the purchase of turkeys OF
certain weights by all licensed deal
ers.
1t is requested that all licensees re-
fran from buying hen turkeys weigh
ing less than eight pounds and young
toms weighing less than twelve pounds
live weight until December Z.
Licensees are requested not to dress
turkeys in an atmospheric tempera-
ture above 40 degrees, unless equip
ped with ice or artificial refrigeration
to chill the fowls Immediately after
dressing.
Licensees should purchase no tur-
keys intended for Thanksgiving mar
ketS or points east of Pittsburgh ana
Buffalo after November Is, and that
turkeys for points east of Pittsburgh
and Buffalo be loaded and ready for
shipment not later than November l9.
In former years, large percentage
of the turkeys reaching the markets
after the Thanksgiving demand has
been supplied were forced into freez-
ers. In view Of the fact that a very
large per cent Of the available freezer
space in the country is needed; and
being used to freeze meats for ship
ment to our troops and the allies, it
is desirable to discourage the sale and
dressing after the Thanksgiving de-
mand has been supplied, until Decem-

Efficient System Needed

In concluding the commissioner
says:
"The spread of the Spanish in
fluenza caused the State Board of
Health to close our schools for
three or four weeks and many peo-
pile were frightened, but why do
our local school authorities not
work to make the school surround
ings more sanitary? We do not
have medical inspection in our
schools, and our children are ex-
posed to the dread disease of
smallpox, although vaccination
would make every community safe.
School districts should organize
for these better things. 1t is our
business to protect and educate
our children. Why do we hesitate?
Is it because we do not at the same
time wish to help our neighbor's
child? Are we not our brothers
keeper.
"There can be no true democ-
racy in Delaware until all children
are sent to school regularly for a
school year sufficiently long, and
under proper coalitions, to enable
then. to be trained for useful
citizenship.
''The people of the Diamond
State have gone over the top
gloriously in every drive during
the war. They have aided in short
ening the most DESTRUCTIVE war in
history. Peace is coming, and now
is the time to keep the home fires
burning Let us make still one
more drive and go over the top
for an efficient school system, thus
laying the everlasting foundation
of a government in which democ-
racy will be SAFE"

Commissioner Spaid Makes
Appeal for Better Schools

State Commissioner of Educa-

page bulletin, "Our Children Must
be Educated" appeals to parents
and school commissioners ito face
the situation caused by the resig-

of many children from schools and
the other conditions that have
helped to demoralize the present
system. He commends the good
work of Delawareans in Liberty
Loan campaigns, War Work drives
and response to all government
calls and says in part:
'This great world war is being
fought to make democracy safe,
but democracy to be safe must
be composed of intelligent citizens.
Are you willing to assist your
