YANKS TO BATTLE
IN PORTABLE TUBS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Oct when a soicier
comes out of battle the things he
longs for are q piping hot meal, q
shave, bath, a change of clothing,
and real bed. During the July and
August Offensive, when the Germans
were driven across the Marine to the
Nesle, and with the Americans on
the move northward day and night,
1t was no easy matter to provide the
soldiers with these essentials, but
day after day the task was accom-
plished, and in many instances the
water for bathing purposes was hot.
Further improvement OF the system
OF providing baths for the men on the
very edge Of the battlehelds is con-
that the day is not far away when
the rolling shower bath apparatus
will be ss common a sight along the
roads back Of the lines as are the
rolling kitchens today.
One of the divisions engaged In the
recent lighting used forty-eight
showers heads and also a disinfector
in which battle-soiled clothing was
sterilized.
Even with this meaeer equipment.
we have been able to keep the fight-
ing men in good condition." an orficer
reported AT the bathing center we
can battle 1900 to 800 men each
day. During the offensive we aver
aged 1927 men per day. As they
were relieved from the line they were
either marched to battle or trans
ported. In four days 5.642 men and
137 Officers passed through the baths
THE effect of the baths on the men
was wonderful They came from the
front lines worn out, dirty, clothing
torn, and left the baths splendidly
6ucked up, physically and mentally

j. S. FOOD WASTE
IS S2OO,OOO,OOO

NEW YORK, Oct 7.-Startling fg-
1res On the amount of food actually
wasted each year in the United
States were given out by DR.. l. NJ
SteckeL Of New York University, at
! . meeting of the New York City
Veterinary Medical Association at
the Veterinary College.
DR.. steckel placed the annual loso
1t 5000, 100000.
The causes assigned by DR.. Steckel
IRE varied, depending largely on the
section Of the country under consid-
Grafton In the West and Southwest
prairie dogs and other predatory an
mails are one serious menace. Con-
tagious and infectious diseases, how
ever, are the chief menace.
"The milk and egg wastage in the
United States" said DR.. Steckel, as
sufficient to feed the people Of Bel
GUM and Serbia for more than 8
year. We produce annually 100000
dozen eggs, and IL is estimated that
one-fifth of these are spoiled or
wasted on the farms and on the wav
to the consumers.
THE United States Food Admins
tration states that since the war be-
gan there has been q world decrease
In food animals OF about $4,000 900
cattle, 100000 sheep and $4,000. 900
hogL Moreover. the Food Admins
tration states that this decrease is
growing daily. The reduction of
food animals involves not alone the
supply Of meat and dairy products,
but also fats. wool. leather and other
by-productA"
All these conditions, according 20
DR.. Steckel, should induce Americans
to begin Immediately a campaign OF
saving. Systematic saving, il neces-
sary brought about by legislation.
DR.. Steckel declared, was all that
would save the food situation not
only of this country but of the world.

FRED
FULTON

Boxing Commissioners Snlih and
Grain journeyed to Long Branch
yesterday to put the stamp of ap-
proval on Dempsey's condition, and
were highly elated over the West
erner's work in boxing four rounds
with Battling Jim Johnson and Clay
Turner. 1t was the final workout
with the gloves for Dempsey. He Is
now down to 191 pounds and will
rest until Saturday afternoon out
side of a short jaunt on the road in
the morning, .E- -:-L.'
Fulton appeared before the local
draft board and after giving sat-
isfactory reason for his not appear,
ing when notified went back to Rye
Beach to finish up his work. He
boxed eight rounds with the ia
maica Kid and Jack Espen. tipping
the scales at 205.
There was a rush for seats yester-
day afternoon at Madison Square
Garden, when it was announced that
the local draft board had straight
ened out Fulton's case, the lobby
of the famous structure being
.swamped with fans eager to ger
choice reservations. ,..ss
There has been much speculation
as to the outcome of the match:
Fulton ruling a slight favorite, but
it is expected when the Chicago con-
tingent arrives the sfaVoritism will
switch to Dempsey.
The following table shows some of
the best records Of the two men for

JACK DEMPSEY FAVORITE IN
HEAVYWEIGHT BATTLETODAY

New York. July 2s.-Jack Dempsey
and Fred Fulton finished training to-
day for their eight-round encounter
at Harrison, n. j.. tomorrow after
noon.
The stage is set at last for theSr
often-postponed meeting. The last
obstacle was removed when Fulton
settled his differences with, a, local
draft board which had ordered his
apprehension and arrest on a charge
that he failed to respond to a sum-
mons for examination.
The only thing that can possibly
block their meeting now Is the
weather. The bout is to be staged In
the old Federal League ball park at
Harrison. The men will answer the
song at $50 o'clock.
Both fighters are in the best of
shape. They have been examined by
members of the New Jarsey Boxing
Commission. which is, satisfied as to
their physical fitness.
Speculation on the outcome here. to-
day showed a trend towards Dempsey
as the probable winner. though the
short route-eight rounds-is copsid-
cred brief to bring out the very best
there is in the big rivals.
Fulton will enter the ring holding
a decided advantage over Dempsey in
height, weight and reach. Critics
point out that Dempsey must over
come this handicap with his speed.
The measurements of the two box
ers announced today are as follows:

NEEDED RAIN FOR

The. green. committee of the Ban
neckburn Golf Club feels that il was
slighted on Thursday afternoon when
the heavy rain which fell elsewhere
failed to extend to the club. On ac-
count OF the heat, the Cabin John
BEidge course is rather hard and dry
and the members have been praying
for rain for several days.
The four holes close to the club
house-numbers two, three, four and
nine-are piped and have been kept in
shape but the others have to depend
on nature and as a result Of the hot.
dry spell are sadly in need Of rain.
The club has had plans for artifically
watering these other holes but is un-
able to obtain the necessary piping
and supplies.
