MILK CHEAPEST OF
ALL FOODSTUFFS|
Use Plenty, You Will Not Be
Injuring Our Allies, Says
Eli n. Hershey

Milk is the cheapest food on the
market to-day, despite recent in
creases in price, Eli n. Hershey,
president of the Hershey Creamery
Company. told members of the Ro-
tary Club to-day.
Mr.. Hershey purchases the milk
from some 500 dairies Throughout
Central Pennsylvania. making large
quantities of it into ice cream. con-
densing much of it and using many
gallons for the maxim gof butter. His
address was made in extending to
the Rotarians an invitation to visit
his ne wsanitary plant in Cameron
street lust put into full operation
MILK has gone up in price be-
cause that was necessary to give
the farmer a profit on his business
which he could not have had il old
prices had prevailed for milk and
feed continued to high as it is. lC
is strange how the woman who com
plains about a cent more quart for
milk will give SO cents more for "a
pair fsilk stockings with no more
than a sigh for the increase in cost
Eat all the milk you want. The
English government has cut the eX-
ports of milk from the United States
from $4,000 barrels of the condensed
product to 5000 barrels. 1t may be
seen therefore that yopu may use
wisely all the milk you desire and
not injure our men abroad or our
allies. Milk is cheap and wholesome.
Use it and save meat and wheat"
Ashmer NJ. Blake and Daniel ID.
Hammelbaugh spoke briefly con-
corning their line of work, Mr.. Blake
as an interior decorator and Mr..
Hammelbaugh as secretary of the
Cnh r1 4
attorney, made the address of the
day, on Where Do We Go From
Here" devoted to our part in the war
and the Importance of preparing for
the future. The club gave him u

HIGHER WAGES
FORR. R. CLERKS;
FAIR TREATMENT
No Glass of Workmen to Be
Overlooked in New Wage
Schedule

Washington, March 1S.-Railroad
office men are to get raise. With
out organization, the office workers
of the transportation systems are to
benefit from the application for in
creased wages made by the organ
ized operatives composing the great
brotherhoods.
This is the decision of the Rail-
road Wage Commission appointed
by the Director General, Mr.. NC
Adoo
1t was said unofficially to-day that
the wage increases for all workers
will range from IL to 25 per cent,
with the average about 20 per cent.
The demands made by the brother
hoods at Cleveland last November
and rejected by the heads of the
railroads, before the government
took over the carriers, averaged
about 33 per cent, but the brother
hood chiefs do not expect such in
creases from the government.
Big Army of Employees
The brotherhoods, composed of en-
Sineers, firemen, conductors, flag
men and brakemen, represent about
100000 of the railroad workers, of
Which there are, including all office
employees, about 2,S00,000.
The proposed salary increases viii
add many millions of dollars to tho
operating costs of the railroads un-
der government control, but Q sub
stantial part of this, it is believed,
NIn be offset by economies in many
these is the elimination of numerous
10 Ssenger ami freight soliciting Of
fees.
In considerhg wage increases, the
commission loo ked TO salary sched-
ules of all of the 100000 workers.
Office Men Poorly Paid
1t has been patent for many years
that the wages of office workers have
been VIGOROUSLY low, although IN
a majority of instances the work has
demanded men of high school cdu-
cation or better.
In the general freight offices of
the big systems, where the tariffs
are written, college graduates have
had to start at ridiculously small
salaries In one of the biggest sys-
tents in the Middle West and South
men in the ratemaling department
get only $50 and SIS month after
several years experience, and the
chief clerks and heads OF divisions,
after many years service, receive
$50 to $500 a month,

FLIGHT AT FRONT
French Camp Is Scene of
Demonstration For Sec
retary of War

On Board the Special Train of
Secretary of War Baker, at an Avia-
ton Center in France. March (date
deleted.-"If 1 said what l think
about what we have seen to-day it
would sound like 'boasting." said
General Pershing, after visiting the
largest aviation camp in France
where hundreds of American boys
are learning to fly.
What pleased me most was the
absolutely perfect order maintained
in the supply and repair shops" as
serted Secretary of War Baker.
Where you see that you find we'll
ordered and well-regulated camp
throughout. | am exceedingly
pleased and delighted and I want to
congratulate the commanding Off
GERS warmly on the high standard of
efficiency apparent at this post and
on all sides. 1t is indeed highly
gratifying and encouraging"
More than fifty planes were already
in the air when Secretary Bakers
special train approached the camp at
an early hour this morning. AS soon
as one of the machines caught sight
and gave the signal to all the other
planes, which promptly drew up in
formation. cscorting the train to the
special camp center.
There the band crashed out a noisy
welcome, in which Russians working
at the camp joined.
After visit to headquarters the
Secretary and his party set off for
the flying field, where the machines
were drawn up in long lines, three
deep, the loud humming of the mo-
tors greeting Mr.. Baker Fifteen
planes darted up simultaneously, fly
ing in close formation, and gradually
the air became filled with squad after
squad until more than 100 machines
were darting about overhead, some
flying so close that their wings al
most touched one another.
Then there came Il buzZing that
was louder than that of the average
motor. 1t attracted Mr.. Bakers at
tention and he turned just in time
to see a Philadelphia officer, in
charge of the training, dart upward
in Moran one-seater, appearing to
rise straight as a bird and picking
up to height of half a mile, where
he looped the loop and flew upside
down while reversing his course sud
uChlY III lnlualr, lnally dropping in
spinning nose dive. Just as it ap-
peared the flier must crash to earth
he suddenly darted up again. Secre-
tary Baker congratulated him on the
feat.
General Pershing, expressing his
admiration of the pilots nerve, ask
ed him if it was necessary to take
such risks. The aviation replied that
it was part of the training He said
the nose dive was especially useful
in escaping an enemy, as it gave
the impression the machine had been
crippled.
