possibility of redistilling seized spirits
for alcohol the war department has an

erage yield from confiscated liquor
would not exceed per cent Of alcohol.

A statement prepared by the war
credits board includes the following
explanation of its functions and activi-
ties.
when a concern that has contract
with the war department for supplies
has shown the board that 1t needs finan-
cial assistance and has been able to
comply with the act by giving adequate
security, the board has approved an ad-
vance payment and the money has been
received in many instances where the
case was urgent the money has been
paid over to the contractor the same
day the application has been filed.
However, the board does not act in
any sense as bank. II Is only when
the manufacturer has reached point
where financial assistance is needed. in
addition to his banking lines, that ap-
plication for advance payment for his
goods is considered favorably by the
board"
Between the time of its creation In
November and January "a the board
approved advances to contractors to-
falling S145. $4,000.

Small stocks of corn In the hands OF
dealers in New England and other
Eastern and Southern states, with the
exception of Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia, where SURPRISES were pro-
duced, are indicated by reports to the
department of agriculture. Actual
available supplies in the Southeastern
states are said to be greater than ever
before, although the amount of corn in
the hands of distributors and other
dealers is much below normal.
Most districts in the Southeastern

ply and other wagons near the front
have fastened to the collars of their
harness little khaki bags containing a
gas mask. In case of gas attack the
masks are removed from the sacks by
the drivers and slipped over the noses
Of the animals. for they are just as
likely to be gassed as men.
Only a few of the animals belonging
to the American Army have been in
gas SO far, but one driver decided that
his team of mules ought to get used to
wearing its masks just as he and other
soldiers had been required to do at
mask drills, SO he organized a drill for
his team. Each of the six mules had a
mask carefully fastened over his nose
and then was turned out in a field to
become accustomed to it.
The mules stood it for some time
then one after the other started trying
to free their noses. One finally succeed
ed in removing the mask by laying
down and rubbing his foreleg over his
muzzle with a motion similar to that
employed by a cat washing it's face.
Another got his OF by scraping his nose
along the ground The four others did
not succeed in getting their masks off
before they were caught.
