BAKER TAKES
ISSUE WITH
ARMY CRITICS
Defends Morals Of Overseas
Forces in Denying Immor-
ality and Drinking.

Everyone has a perfect right to
criticize the army IL they can do
SO justifiably, but / will pay no
attention to anonymous screeds. l
am confident that General Pershing
is handling the drink and immor-
ality problem in the wisest and
most efficient manner"
This was Secretary Bakers reply
yesterday to a raiteration of the at
tack on army immortality in France,
made by the Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The committee under the sigma
ture of Deets Pickett. research sec
retary, issued another statement
quoting the book of Sherwood Eddy.
Y. NJ. c. A. worker in France. The
quotation from the book. asserts
general bad conditions and men
tions instances Of. drunkenness or
immortality only in general terms.
1t is accompanied by another batch
OF anonymous letters describing our
men as "reeling" or falling a vic
tim to ''harpies."
Secretary Baker reiterated that
the army's disciplinary records
showed no evidence of such a state
OF affairs. He said that he would
surely know of it II 1t were so. as
General Pershing was aware of his
deep concern with the morality of
the troops.

future. although there was said last
night To be no disposition on the part
Of any Of the Fuel Administration Of
fic.als to suggest such step at the
present time.
The government has plenty of oil
available in thiS country and from the
Mexican sources: but Ii is greatly
hampered By the problem of transpor-
tation- The Geological Survey believes
there is enough oil for all the needs
OF the armies of Europe, the armies
in the United States and all the COM
mcrcial and pleasure automobiles that
have been manufactured within the
last few years, IL 1t could be trans
ported.
But transportation of oil has come
to be a serious problem. The pipe
lines are pumping every gallon they
can. working night and day: the rail-
roads, are shipping to their fullest ca
pacity: the tank ships are carrying
all they can and making as many
trips as possible. But still there Is a
scarcity in the eastern section OF the
country and the government Is push
ed to get an adequate supply to Eu-
rope.
OIL Flow Decreases.
The average flow of oil in the Unit
ed States Is about 800, 900. 900 barrels n
year. OF all the world 1t is about So
OOO. 900 barrels. The flow in this coun-
try last year decreased about ; per
cent, but some OF that was account
able for in the scarcity Of well labor.
The country Is getting 5l.O0o.000 bar
rels from Mexico this year. In the
Southern country, government ofti-
cials say, there Is enough oil to sup
ply all the needs of the world-if II
can be transported.
The Oil Administrator viii take up
first the quantity available through
transportation. II necessary he may
be forced to caIl for some curtailment
Of the private use Of automobiles and
some restrictions may be drawn
around the delivery trucks now used
by most OF the large ard small stores
throughout the country.

Good Teeth Are a Big
Help in 'GettingAhead'

A person uith a good, euen set of
we'l-kept Unite teeth certainly
makes a much better impression
than one Whose teeth are uneUen,
discolored or decayed.
Personal appearance is a big fac
tor in success these days. That
doesn't mean that a person must be
ouer-dressed or foppish, quite the
contrary, in fact. But the employer
is quick to recognize the fact that
one .Dho does not think anything of
his ovn personal appearance is not
likely to haue much ambition to
progress in business Uay.
While the person who presents a good
'front.' when he smiles and shows fine set
of well-kept teeth has got a big handicap
on the other fellow right from the start.
And, of course, this factor of personal ap-
pearance does not include the other equally
important one of the effect on the health.
1t is so we'll recognized that teeth have
great influence on the general health that we
will not enter into a lengthy discussion of it
