is expected to come this week with the
report of the investigation conducted
by Charles T.. Hughes.

precisely the same ground covered
by Mr.. Hughes confidentally pre-
dict Il report from him that will dc
mand Immediate and sweeping act
ion on the part of the Department
Of Justice.
What they have found and what
they say Mr.. Hughes has found is in
part:
y trail Of graft that runs through
the aircraft production program from
the beginning up to the present time.
Sabotage proved and certain coupled
with criminal acts in production Of
aircraft negligence and incompetent
cy that can only be arrested by the
strong arm Of the law.
Profitcering. extravaganza and erin
inal waste of ma crials Of almost in

effectiveness Of our troops in the bat

Favoritism and high pay for super

that was farce and nothing short
OF con ributOry to murder in giving
the stamp of approval at the factory
to machines that would prove man

NAMING GULF COAST VESSELS.

We would be pleased and grateful if
some of the ships that are built in the
Gulf Coast yards would carry to the
ports the world the names showing
their place Of nativity. 1t is very diff
fcult to dissuade a man who owns a
boat from naming it for his nearest
daughter or wife, or his last sweet
heart if he happens to be single man
which we hope he is not. Without
censuring at all, or even being criti-
cal, but speaking to the above ques-
ton of local pride, the Bayou Bern.
ard, the Handsboro, the Gulfport, the
Pass Christian, the Biloxi, the Pasca-
goula are not bad-sounding names for
vessels made on these shores from
timbers from this State, and launched
from Mississippi Gulf, Coast yards.
Just a little sentiment, probably, yet
provincial pride without. which no 10
cality is worth while. Are we entil
led to this gnition?-Gulfport

COOLEST PLACE IN
REFRIGERATOR

Many housewives have learned froxl
sad experiences in loss Of perishable
foods that next to the ice b not the
coolest place in the home refrigerator.
To the housewife who has not had this
experience the Food Administration
gives this advice:
MANY put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the coolest place, but,
as matter of fact, the coolest place
is at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Hot air rises. and air that is not be-
ing constantly purified by circulation
around the blocks of ice soon are un-
fit to come into contact with the food.
When the warm air in the refriger-
ator rises it carries with it impurities
and moisture which are absorbed from
the surface of the food, and which if
allowed to remain in the air spoil the
food The air which is warmed by
passing over the food comes in contact
with the ice where the moisture is
upon the surface and the
impurities are carried off by the melt
ing ice. The air is thus dried. cooled,
and purified. The cooled air immed-
lately descends to gather up more
moisture and impurities and thus the
process is repeated continually.
ut is advisable to allow heated food
to cool off before placing it in the
If put in when warm it
raises the temperature of the refriger-
ator higher than it should go and melts
ice unnecessarily. The trapdoor
thorugh which the meltage passes out
at the bottom of the refrigerator
should be kept in place, because if it
is broken or lost a constant stream of
warm air is allowed to flow into the

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN WILL BE SHORT.
Limited to Three Weeks Amount
$4,000, 100000; Interest
d Per Cent.

: Washington, July 31.-The campaig,
for the fourth Liberty Loan will oper
Saturday, Septembers2S, and continu,
three weeks, ending October 10, It II
announced tonight by Secretary Nc
Adoo.
In fixing three weeks as the length
of the campaign for the fourth loan
instead of four weeks, as In previous
loans. treasury officials plan for more
intensive campaign. A shorter one,
1t was said, will enable more business
men to enlist as workers.
The date of the campaign was an
nounced at this time in order to al.
low campaign organizations to pre-
pare for the sale of bonds and to pre-
vent the planning of other, campaigns
which might interfere with the float
alton of the loan.
Although official .announcemnt has
not been made the amount of the loan
probably will be $4,000, 100000 and the
rate of interest which the bonds will
bear four and one-fourth per cent.
Should the treasury decide soon to
place OH the market certificates of in
debtedness redeemable next June
when taxes are due, the amount of the
loan may be reduced.
Secretary McAdoo has said he does
not contemplate making an extended
speaking tour for the fourth loan, as
he has done in previous campaigns.
President Wilson has received sever.
al invitations to make addresses dur.
ing the campaign. but as yet has not
indicated whether he will make any
speeches for the loan.
Officials in charge of the campaign
have announced that special appeal
will be mde to farmers, who subscrib-
ed literally to the last loan.

Of Area Through Which Ger.

London, Aug. 2,--Yesterday's Fran
co-British attack on the westerly side
of the Marine salient was on from

cording to news received today. 1t re-
suited in the capture of the entire
ridge which forms the watershed be.
tween the Ourcq and the Aisne, the
advices Indicate.
The French also captured the en-
tire Neijmiere wood, on the line to
the west of Goussancourt, at about
the center of the salient.
The advance by the aallies along
the western side of the salient's de-
scribed as extremely lmportant-pos-
sibly the most Important thing the
Sllies have accomplished since the
GefMghs retired from the Marne.

through which the Germans have been
retiring. This area is nest of Ger
mans reserves and field artillery.
Gousancourt itself has been taken
by the French, the advices add
The capture of the important
ground on the heights to the westerly
side of the line means that the Ger
mans will not be able to retire in an
ordinarily leisureIy way and that they
probably will have to go beyond the
river Vesle in their retreat.
The situation is considered as eX-
traordinarily good. being described in
the advices as the turning point of the
summer campaign and possibly of the (,
whole war.

SHiPYARD WORKER IN DRAFT
CALLS TO GIVE STATUS.
Only Those Whose Loss Would Retard
Production Retain Deferred
Classification.

Washington, July 31.-Only en-
ployes whose loss would retard shil
ping production will retain "emel
gency fleet" deferred classification 1
the selective draft, 1t was announce
tonight by the emergency feet col
poration. All applications of EN-
ployes for such deferred classification
must be approved by division head.
and finally passed on by Howard Coon
ley, vice president.
A general order issued tonight, call
ing on employees to report their status
says:
"The United States shipping board
emergency fleet corporation will not
aid any drafted man to secure at his
own instance emergency fleet listing
deferred classification in the draft, OF
any delay of induction into military
service.
when the United States shipping
board emergency fleet corporation
seeks emergency feet listing de-
ferred classification in draft, or delay
in induction into military service for
a drafted man, 1t is to be clearly under.
stood that such request will be confin-
ed to cases where the qualifications
are, and services which are being rend-
cred by the drafted man are, from the
national viewpoint, more essential for
ship production than for military
service"
Reports of employees as to their
status under the selective service act
are to be sent Vice President Coonley
at Philadelphia before August TO- The
reports will be referred division and
section chiefs, who will be required
to submit brief to Mr.. Coonley Civ.
ing reasons why the men are more
necessary for ship construction than
for military service.
In commenting on the order, Mr..
Coonley made the following state
ment.
"The officers of the United States
shipping board emergency fleet cor
poration feel that they should ask
for exemption for those individuals
only who have special experience and
ability which make them essential to
the successful carrying out of the
sbipbuilding program.
In such cases the officials take the
position that it is the duty of the in
Sire for active serv'i' at tbss 'ffrrt6aht 90
greater service which he can render
in the shipbuilding program. 1t is
therefore his patriotic duty to be gov
erned by our Judgment in the matter.
In cases other than these, it is felt
that the greatest national good can be
rendered by enering the military
service"
