HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles M. Schwab Made a
Monkey Out of Emissary of
the Kaiser.

"Charles NJ. Schwab had an adven-
ture with German spy" said Phil
adelpha editor, "a short time before
we entered the war.
Mr.. Schwab went out to Chicago
on some munitions business, and the
spy logged him like a shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city, too.
zone evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore a
couple of the kilograms up, scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
"The spy, who was, of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed, and so after bit he stole back on
tiptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise.
"What he saw made him smile. The
spy was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
"Mr. Schwab. standing in the door
way, gave loud laugh. Then he
said.
"sBoy Ed or Won Papen, or what
ever your name Is, I'm pleased to see
that you Germans care more about

This war in Europe has brought
back into use many discarded weapons

There has been the adoption of steel

overhauling and new study of ancient

whatever his rank or rating, adds jus;

this order. EVERY man of every rank
and rating desires, of course, to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
No man in the navy is willing in war
time to do anything that woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content in any part of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work so important In
its nature that it cannot properly be
delegated to any person of lesser rat
ing
Wherefore it Is requested and d.
rected that the officer in charge of
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make careful and criti
cal survey of his personnel, both COM
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reseryists but regulars as well,
and it is to be distinctly understood In
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and

here and at the same time release the

NUTRITION OFFICERS WHO ARE
EXPERTS BEING STATIONED
IN THE ARMY CAMPS.
EDIBLE WASTE IS REDUCED
Navy Department Sends Uniformed
Desk Men to Active Service-An-
cient Armor Supplies Models for
Modern American War Equipment.

Nutrition officers are to be stationed
in every National army cantonment
and in every National Guard camp, as
we'll as in every camp where 10000 or
more soldiers are in training, the war
department announces. These men are
food specialists. Before they Joined
The army as members of the division
of food and nutrition of the medical
department they were connected with
colleges and public bodies as physiolo-
gists, chemists, economists, food In
spectors and experts in other special
zed work relating TO food.
Since last October these officers
have gone from camp to camp, studied
the food served, how it was inspected,
stored and prepared, and made recon-
mendations resulting in many advan-
tageous changes. They gave instruc-
tons in the principles of nutrition, the
proper selection of foods and the con-
struction of dietaries to mess officers,
medical officers and others interested.
They told how to avoid waste, gave
ii'NthohS lol JuuSihS anu StOTlDS lOOu,
and emphasized the Importance of
keeping kitchens and mess halls clean
and orderly.
AT one camp seven companies were
selected from various organizations
totaling 1,135 men with which to try
out an anti-waste plan. The average
edible waste was found to be 1.12
pounds per man per day. The nutrl-
ton officer gave the mess sergeants
and cooks instructions in food and
mess economy with the result the aver
age edible waste was reduced to 0.43
pounds per man per day, saving of
0.69 pounds. This saving amounted to
$61.75 per day for the seven messes, or
$22,542 per year.
Sixty new officers are to be commits
stoned in the division of food and nu-
triton to handle the additional work.
All will be food specialists similar to
those already in the service. They
will advise about the composition and
nutritive values of all dietaries, make
inspections for authorizations, spoilage
and deterioration and cooperate with
the mess officials,

The national war labor board has de-
cided against establishment at this
time of minimum wage to be applied
generally throughout industry II
adopts an attitude firmly opposed both
to unjust profits Oh the part of capital
and unreasonable demands on the part
of labor, stating that capital should
have only such reasonable returns as
will assure its use for the worlds and
the nations cause, and that the physi-
cal wellbeing of labor and its physical
and mental effectiveness, in comfort
reasonable In view of the exigencies of
the war, likewise should be assured.
The board declares the war to be an
interregnum in which the wheels of
industry should turn only in the COM
mon cause and for common ends, and
neither for unjust profits on the part
of capital or unfairly inflated wages
for labor, stressing maximum produc-
ton as the paramount necessity and
unselfish cooperation as the prelimi-
nary essentials to this accomplishment.
There is a reaflirmation by the board
of the principle that the worker is en-
titled to a wage sufficient to sustain
himself and mis- family IN health and
comfort, and n restatement by the
board to apply this principle in each
of the cases to come before it for de-
clsion.

The Liberty motor, developed by the
department of military aeronautics, Is
to have special engine oil which is to
be known as the Liberty aero OIL"
1t was developed by the fabrication
branch while the latter was still part
of the signal corps. 1t Is a mineral
oil and will be used not only on the
Liberty motor but on all stationary
cylinder aircraft engines Of the army
and navy.
Its development is due to the energy
and skill of staff of men who worked
exclusively on the problem for a year.
Capt o. J. May, who deserves greatest
credit for its production, so exhausted
himself by his labors that he could
not recuperate from an Illness and
died.
When the aircraft program was an
nounced in 1917 no one in authority
had a definite idea as to the proper
kind of fabrication required. There
was no uniformity. For every engine
there was specific oil. Some en-
gineers insisted on castor oil, others
mineral oil, still others castor and
mineral oils mixed 1t was estimated
that 100000 gallons of castor oil,
costing So per gallon, would be re-
quired and that quantity was not avail
able
Captain May and assistants set out
to develop a suitable lubricant for the
Liberty motor at an average cost of 70
cents gallon, and also a system for
reclaiming oil already used. In 20
days Captain May supervised the run
ming of 81 engine tests in laboratory
where five engine tests week would
be complete program. These en-
gines were run with different kinds of
oils and each oil was analysed and
measured before and after tests. The
work required ceaseless vigil. Alti-
tude tests were made in an alright
building capable of having the air
within 1t partly exhausted.
From these tests the Liberty aero
oil developed. 1t will cost about one
fourth the price of castor oil, saving
the government perhaps $11,000000 a
year. A system of retaining used
oil was developed and at least 80 per
cent can be made fit to use again.
