OVERSEAS GIFTS
RULES TO BE FOLLOWED IN
SENDING CHRISTMAS TOKENS.
Only One Package Per Man Is AL
lowed and Must Be Mailed on or Be-
fore November Is for Delivery.

The war department has issued the
following rules for the sending of
Christmas gifts to soldiers overseas:
"The war department authorizes
relatives or friends of officers and
soldiers in France to send Christmas
packets, which will be of standard
size and weight, one to each individ-
ual in the American expeditionary
forces. A standard container to be
used will be 8 by by 3 inches, and
the weight limit will be three pounds.
Standard containers of the size indi-
Gated may be had by application to
the local Red Cross chapters thruout
the country.
"In order to assure the arrival of
these Christmas packages in France
and their distribution to the soldiers
by Christmas, all such packages must
be mailed on or before November 10,
1918.
'In order to insure the limitation of
one package per man, which in itself
will consume very large amount Of
tonnage, a plan has been worked out
by which General Pershing is forward
ing to the war department coupons on
which are inscribed the correct names
and addresses of the members of the
American expeditionary forces. These
coupons will be distributed, and no
package will be forwarded without a
coupon"
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
ruled that Christmas gifts for men in
the naval service, both in home waters
and abroad, must be shipped in sub
stantial boxes with hinged or screw
top cover to facilitate opening and in
specting Boxes shipped by express
are limited to 20 pounds in weight,
and packages for vessels abroad
should be shipped so as to reach New
York as early as possible and not
later than November 10.

WAR WORK GROWS.
MORE PARAMOUNT
SKILLED MECHANICS IN
DEMAND EVERYWHERE.
A Few Examples Given of the Prime
Importance of Expert Workers in
the National War Program and
How Much Depends Thereon

Skilled mechanics for war work are
in urgent demand everywhere. In
creasing calls are being received by
the United States employment service
for many trades, and every effort is
being made by its officers and agents
thruout the country to explain to
skilled men the Importance of putting
patriotism above convenience and
leaving non-war work to take their
part in the war production program,
says an official bulletin of the war de-
partment. Whole-hearted response is
noted everywhere when the call is
made directly to men Of the skilled
crafts, even tho this usually means
leaving home and family for a distant
state.
The spirit manifested by the soldier
in overalls is no less patriotic than
the spirit of the soldier in khaki, and
while the general public often does
not appreciate the fact, skilled man
in the industrial army is frequently
doing far more to win the war than
he could possibly do in the trenches.
The production of gas masks hinges
on the production of small brass parts.
If call received from a concern in
Worcester, Mass, for twelve first class
toolmakers, with experience on drawn
press work, can be promptly supplied,
the increase in production of masks
as whole would be counted by thou
sands.
Shell Plant Wants Meters.
A concern in Connecticut, the entire
output of which is 12-inch shells, has
just reported urgent need for two
highly skilled men as meters on OPEN
hearth furnaces, and five semi-skilled
men, two as first helpers and three as
second helpers to the meters. The
manager of this concern reports that
a good melter can produce enough
steel to make twenty-five tons of shells
daily, which he estimates the equal
in military effectiveness of an infantry
battalion on the fighting front.
All men of this craft known are at
present employed in the steel industry
on war work, but it is possible that
somewhere in the country there are
men who have taken up farming or
some other occupation who, earlier in
life, were melters. Any official of the
employment service learning of such
should Immediately telegraph the ad-
ministrativeoffices The pay is high,
and the Importance of the work is
very great.
Carpenters and Shipbuilders.
Thousands upon thousands of car
penters are needed Immediately to
rush to completion construction work
necessary to the largely increased
army.
Many shipyards have recently COM
pleted additions and extra mechanical
facilities for building more ships. In
consequence of this, urgent calls have
been received for hundreds of addi-
tional riveting gangs. The emergency
fleet corporation realizes that there is
not sufficient number of experienced
riveters, and is willing to teach lin
tied number of men who have had me-
chanical training.

TO COMBAT PLAGUE OF RATS
Will Exclude the Pests From Shelter and Food.

A single rat, remarks David k. LantZ in recent publication of the United States department of agriculture, does far less harm In a year than any one lion. tiger or wolf but the big animals of prey are few, while rats are deplor- ably abundant. There are possibly two or three times as many rats as there are people in the civilized world; and the destruction wrought by this vast horde of voracious rodents Is far great CT than that wrought by wolves, tigers and all other noxious animals to- gether.
 To combat this dangerous pest sue cessfully, says Lantz, is largely build ing problem. Buildings should be so constructed as to exclude the animals from shelter and food. When this Is done, individual and community efforts to destroy rats will give satisfactory and lasting results. The program may be regarded by many as too expensive. Will 1t be too costly? What do rats cost now? If half the money now spent in feeding and fighting rats could De expended in wisely planned and well-executed cooperative efforts for rat repression. 1t would be possible within a few years nearly to rid the country of its worst animal pest, to re duce losses from its depredations by at least 90 per cent. and to free the land completely from the fear of bu- bonic plague,
