Yet, he said. they say there is no law to meet this situa- tion and protect the public when civ ilization is 1t stake, although we have in force machine-like laws for the pun ishment of those who commit misae- meanors.
 He advocated a public forum for a discussion of public questions during the war and the reconstruction after it for the purpose of teaching Ameri- canism and 10 the end that there will be no n"r English speaking persons iii the dstrici and certainly no un- naturalized foreigners

President Wilson was the owner for a few minutes yesterday afternoon of one of the finest Shorthorn bulls in the world retaining the title only long enough however, to enable the transfer to the Birmingham chapter of the Red Cross tc be formally made.
 All of the bulls donated to the Amerl- can Red Cross were taken to Capitol park at o'clock yesterday afternoon and there put under the critical eye or pr c. F. Curtis, dean of the Iowa State college acknowledged to be one of the best cattle experts in the world, who awarded first prize to Lavenders Lord 50040S, of the Ravenswood herd, and sec ond prize to Royal Heir, of the Nelson herd, Charlottesville, III. Lavender Lord thereupon became the President bull and under the arrangements made several days ago the check forwarded by the President was turned over to F. w. Harding, secretary of the American shorthorn Breeders association. who made formal transfer of title to the bull to the Birmingham chapter of the Red Cross.
 Lavender's Lord was donated to the Red Cross by Mrs. Albert Marty of kan sas City, Mo, whose donations to the Red Cross are said to be among the larg- est of any one person in the country. She bought the bull from Nelson N. Leonard. owner of the Ravenswood farm, Bunceton, Mo-, year or so ago, and when she learned of the sale to be held here she promptly donated him for that purpose Lavenders Lord, red, calved July 19, 1915; bred by Charles E.

 , ON LOCAL SITUATION
Commissioner Brown and Attorney Ullman Return From Washington With
 Nothing Tangible

1 Commissioner J. Ellis Brown and At l torney M. NJ Ullman have returned l from Washington. where they went to
 investigate the probability of the gov ernment taking over the local street car system.
 1 Commissioner Brown yesterday gave out the following interview anent their 1 trip to Washington:
 MT. Ullman and l went to Wash ington not to ask the government to take over the operation of the local street railway, but to ascertain as near ly as possible the situation in regard to the national war labor board as- suming control or jurisdiction over street car companies as to the adjust ment of fares and wages paid to em- ployes, We knew this hearing was on and were anxious to get the real facts as near as possible, believing it would affect the local situation We talked to both former President Taft and MT. Walsh of that bard.
 The board has been considering for three or four months certain petitions filed in regard to the matter, but had taken no definite action when we left Washington.
 The petitions Illeu were IllGu Dy lHe employees of the street car companies of Detroit and Cleveland, asking for an increase in wages. t seems that the board is willing to render a decision in regard to increases in wages, but not as to street car fares.
 "A brief was submitted by the war board of the American Electric Rail- way association to the national war labor board to recommend to the Pres ident that the government fix rates of fare on electric railways. It was contended in the brief that the Presi- dent has this power already, but re- quests that if he is not now clothed with the power he ask Congress for it.
 The brief maintains that this power was given the President in an amend ment to an act known as the emer- gency shipping fund provision of the urgent deficiency appropriations, ap- proved April p, 1918 Other acts are also cited which, it is claimed, give him this power The brief does not ask the government to take over the operation of the local transportation utilities entirely, but only as to fixing of rates of fare
 'It is yet to be seen whether the war labor board will make the recommen- dation to the President.
 The local situation may, of course, be affected by these decisions. The petitions before the board were ar gued by attorneys of the street car companies for an increase in fares and by the attorneys for the Amalga- mated Association of Street Car Elm ployes of America for increase in wages of employees. The attorneys for the amalgamated association concur red in the brief filed by the Electric Railway association"

May Raise Sunken Ships.

An interesting paragraph in Ship
ping says that many of the torpedoed
vessels that lie at the bottom of the
sea may be salved after the war.
Neither ships nor cargoes," it affirms,
Except perishable materials and food
stuffs, deteriorate very much under
water. When vessel is being re-
floated, a barrel of oil is poured on the
surface of the water in order to leave
deposit over the machinery. Re.
pairs are quickly effected, and sections
shattered by torpedo present no great
difficulties in the work of salvage.
Valuable as ere the ships themselves
that now lie at the bottom Of the sea,
the cargoes Of cotton, rubber, wool,
machinery, etc., are considered to be
more valuable STILL" Parts of the
North sea and of the English channel
are shallow enough to permit of this
kind of salvage work on a consider
able scale, according to the authority
quoted.-Outlook Magazine.

ably unsuited to them, but in others
they will continue to the advantage

Is surely ripe for 4 proper division Of

ton prevailing before the increase to

come their monopoly. It is clearly
wiser to prepare for the numbers of

LET COTTAGE CHEESE
TAKE PLACE OF MEAT
This Dish Is Economical, Wholesome
and Delicious.

'Let cottage cheese replace
meat pound for pound and extend
eggs, where they are scarce, if you
would economic In your war menus"
says Mrs. Virginia R. Eaton, cottage
cheese specialist, Louisiana State Uni
versity. 1T furnishes convenient
and economical way to utilize skim
milk as human food. One pound of
cottage cheese furnishes as much pro-
tein, more mineral Except iron) and
almost as many calories as one pound
of lean meat, or a dozen eggs, and
costs about half as much.
"In this food emergency skim milk
should be used to furnish the greatest
amount of human food and none should
be wasted 1t does this best when used
direct, as cottage cheese Or as butter
milk Skim milk is used economically
In feeding hogs for pork production
yet when made into cottage cheese it
furnishes seven times as much pro-
tein and nearly as much energy as the
pork that it will produce when fed
with corn. Besides when cottage
cheese is made from skim milk, about
IS per cent remains as whey, which
has about half the value of skim milk
for hog feeding Let us, therefore, use
as much skim milk as possible for hui
man food and feed only the surplus to
live stock"

DEAN DODSoN AGAIN
CALLED TO WASHINGTON

The Louisiana State University has
again been called on to contribute to
war work the services of Prof. W. r..
Dodson, Dean of the College Of Agri-
culture and Director of Experiment
Stations. For the period beginning Au-
gust l and ending January l Professor
Dodson will work with the Food Ad-
ministration in the division of agricul-
tural relations. He will have jurisdic-
ton over questions concerning the ad-
ministration of food problems that
touch agriculture, and will act as in
termediary between the Food Admin
istration and the various food-produc-
ing agencies ON questions that require
mutual consideration. His wide knowl-
edge of the organization and activities
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, the State agricultural col
leges and the State departments Of
agriculture peculiarly fits him for his
new duties.
Professor Dodson was called to
Washington last February by the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture and placed in charge of special
campaign for food production in the
Southern States for a period of two
months. The large amount of food and
feed crops being grown in the South
this year is due in a great measure
to that campaign.
