GREAT DRIVE FOR
SHIPYARD help
Call for 250,o0O Volunteers to
Aid in Speeding the New
Merchant Fleet.
TO Be READY when CALLED
Reserve Organization Formed to Com.
plete Gigantic Program to Win
-War-Good Pay and Living
Conditions.

The United States Shipyard volun-
teers O. the Public Service Reserve, a
reserve organization of American me-
chanics, skilled workers in many lines
of trade, has been formed to bring to
completion the gigantic shipbuilding
program necessary to win the war.
Two hundred and fifty thousand work
men are to be enrolled and they will
stand ready, when called to go to the
shipyards and speed Americas mer-
chant fleet to completion.
An appeal for volunteers has been
made by the department of labor,
the council of national defense, the
shipping board, the 10000 four-minute
men, governors of the various states,
organized labor and business men. The
aim is to fill all the present and future
needs of the governments shipyards.
Pay Of volunteers will be in accord
ance with the prevailing wage in the
shipyards at the time they are called.
Construction of houses for the workers
Is being pushed with energy, and the
necessary homes will be ready when
the men are called.
Preliminaries Are Arranged.
All preliminary work, such as the
building of shipyards and shipways,
construction OF housing facilities,
preparation and transportation of ma
terial, and the training Of workmen, is
being rushed to completion. Thus the
organization Of the shipyard volunteers
is being hastened with energy and en-
thusiasm.
Volunteers are requested to go to the
nearest enrolment agent of the public
service reserve or state council of de-
fense and sign up. Should there be no
enrolling agent in the Vicinity, they
are asked to write to Edward N. Hur-
ley, chairman of the United States
shipping board, Washington.
Cards are issued to all applicants,
bearing statements of the purpose of
the shipyard volunteers, classifying
them according to trades and asking
signers to respond when called. But
tons will be given to volunteers bear
ing the inscription, ~. S. Shipyard
Volunteers" This button is to be an
honorary recognition Of the wearer's
willingness to sacrifice personal desires
for public need. In addition. the
worker will receive a certificate signed
by Chairman Hurley, which reads:
''This is to certify (name of vol
unteer) of Getty, state), has
enrolled in the United States
Shipyard Volunteers Of Pub
lie Service Reserve to aid the
nation in its imperative needs
for merchant ships with which to
overcome the submarine menace
and maintain our forces at the
front"
Quota of Each State.
Each state has been assigned a
quota, based upon the population and
Industries. The quota is as follows:

More Uses for Toast.

Saving stale bread by making 1t into
toast is an economy. In many fami-
lies, toast is served only for breakfast,
luncheon, or supper, but the custom
which many high-grade restaurants
have adopted of serving thin, crisp,
hot toast with the more substantial
meals might well be followed at home.
Such dishes as chopped meat with
gravy, creamed chicken or fish, poach-
ed eggs, melted cheese, cooked aspara-
gus, Swiss chard, baked tomatoes, etc.,
are served very commonly on toast.
Cream or milk toast Chat is, toast with
a cream sauce or milk gravy, perhaps
favored with a very little Clipped
beef, salt fish, or other savory) may
be used at the main dish at breakfast,
luncheon, or supper. Slices of toast
may also be dipped in water or milk
and beaten egg and lightly Drowned on
u hot creased pan. 1t may be used at
breakfast, and has the advantage of
making the eggs ''go further" than If
used in u separate dish, or it may be
served with cinnamon and sugar, sirup,
or any sweet sauce for dessert.
Egg Toast.
6 slices bread. l cupful milk skim
1 egg milk water.
u teaspoonful salt.
Beat the egg, and add the liquid and
salt. Let the bread soak in the mix
ture until slightly soft. Then fry to
a light brown on hot, well-greased
pan or griddle. More eggs may be
used If available.

Why not use them oftener?
There are numerous good ways
of cooking them. They give you

which you eat meat largely

CHEESE is A FINE MEAT
SAVER.

There's a great deal of food
in a little piece of it. Don't
eat 1t at the end of meal when
you have already had enough.
You wouldn't eat a piece of
meat then. An inch cube of
American cheese contains a third
more protein than a piece of
lean meat of the same size.
Cheese is excellent food If eat
en- at the right time. Get from
the United States Department of
Agriculture the Farmers BulIe-
tin on cheese, No. Ae7, to learn
how to use it In many ways.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-02

Meat is only one of the foods which
furnish that bodybuilding material,
protein. Cheese, milk, eggs, beans,
peas, cereals, and nuts contain it in
plentiful amounts. Take cottage
cheese, for example. 1t is richer in
protein than meat. You can eat
third of cupful of it with relish, and
this third of a cupful will give you
as much of the protein as a quarter
of a pound of sirloin steak-a good,
generous serving. Or If you like baked
beans eat cupful to get the same
amount of protein. The child to grow
must have food that furnishes this kind
of bodybuilding material. You need
1t, too. Even if you are grown up you
must have it to renew parts of your
body used up by work and exercise.
Eat meat substitutes occasionally,
and you save Il fighting material. Peas,
beans, peanuts, and cereals are cheap
er than meats and good to eat. They
should be used, but eat some milk or
cheese besides. Here are some sug-
gestions

about 80 minutes. Mix the flour with
little cold water and stir in careful

pork cut up in cubes and added to the
beans at the beginning of the cooking
gives n pleasant flavor to the dish.
This stew will make a whole meal

The production of citric acid on a
commercial scale from Gull lemons has
been solved by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Citric acid
prepared in this way has been sold at
u price several cents above the mar
ket. Orange pulp for the manufacture
of marmalade has been prepared and

A statement prepared by the war
credits board includes the following
explanation of it's functions and activi-
ties:
when a concern that has a 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 a bank. 1t 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 $145 5,551 900.

There Is no standard recipe for vic
tory bread" the only requirement be-
ing that it must contain not more than
80 per cent of wheat flour, the remain
ing 20 per cent being composed of corn
meal or corn flour, rice, potato flour, or
other cereals recommended by the
food administration. "Victory" pies
and doughnuts, which contain not less
than one-third nonwheat flour, may be
sold on wheatless days If the same
recipes are used throughout the week.
The limit of time for filing income
tax returns has been extended to
April 1.
In order to assure prompt and accu-
rate Identification, the war department
has adopted a system of numbering en-
listed men of the army. The system
provides for one series of numbers,
without alphabetical prefix, for all en-
listed men. The number assigned to
soldier will become a part of his Off
cial designation, and will never be
changed nor assigned to another man.
1t will be entered on Identification tags.

tains a chronology of outstanding
events ranging from the murder at
Serajevo of the Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, June %, 1914, to the British
national labor conferences approval of
President Wilson's war aims, December

1t is estimated that within the next
six months $4,000 to 100000 men will
be given intensive military training in
schools and colleges. They will be
drawn from the armed forces Of the
nation, men now in training camps or
about to be called, and registrants
under the selective service law.
With view to mobilizing the educa-
tional institutions of the country for
this special training there has been
created in the war department com

states that there has been unexpected
demand for the larger books. Smileage
books selling for 81 contain 20 coupons

charged not exceeding 25 cents an

In reply to inquiries regarding the
possibility of redistilling seized spirits
for alcohol the war department has an
nounced that the small amount of alco-
hol recovered, the cost of transporta-
ton, recooperage and redistillation
would make the cost to the government
greater than it is now paying. The av-
erage yield from confiscated liquor
would not exceed per cent of alcohol.

Good Will Is Capital in
Merchandising:

Propaganda is q form OF Advertising. 1T
IL selling what the advertiser wants
teOple to think. Roger w. Babson. the
statistical expert now working for the
depa rtment OF labor, who has made Sow
rral trips TO South America for Secretary
McAdoo. testified before the ways and
means committee. of congress. that he
believed. from his personal observation,
that Germany built up its extensive trade
In the South American countries princi-
pally through advertising.
Trade marks and brands are as i'm
bortant I'm developing domestic industry
and in standArdizing manufacturing as
are buildings and machinery" continued
MIR. Babson. ITO refuse to consider money
spent upon advertising as capital invested
and to allow it in the second instance
is distinctly handicapping American I'm

tects the manufacturer and business man,

ment recognizes the value Of trade marks
10 the extent of protecting them by legis-
iation. 1t certainly should recognize their
value In connection with taxation. The
nation which has the greatest foreign
trade after the war will be the one whose
manufacturer nave the greatest good
WIN. Certainly congress should do every
thing to encourage manufacturers in the
development Of this good will"
Mr.. Babson believes good will gained
through advertising Is a real, q tangible
thing, and that 1t should be allowed for
IN taxing capital. In England the govern
ment recognizes the principle Mr.. Babson
argues FOR. and allows merchants and
manufacturer who nave spent money to
build good will for their product, under
Whatever name, to continue to advertise
their product and charge 1t to expense,
thereby reducing net income account and
their income tax. This rule of govern
ment was adopted to protect manufactur-
ers whose whole product had been COM
Wandered by the government, and who
therefore. had nothing to sell. The gov
ernment not only recognized the actual
value of good will but allowed money to
pay for 1t out of government income. The
property right in good will was so
esteemed that government not only would
not modest 1t but 1t allowed funds to
continue to remind people of the thing
they could not at the time buy.

Socialists Not of Today.
From the New York Telegraph.

Truly, the socialists do not deal with the things that are. The
other day a crowd of these talkative persons got together in what
they called a state convention and nominated candidates for state
offices. Their platform. if one can call Il lot of bombasic phrases
IL platform, dealt not with the present war but with what will come
after the fighting. Socialists evidently always r thinking of jobs,
and one plank of the platform favored six hours work each day.
This i'm face of the fact that the nation is at war and offering large
wages to mn who will work double time. Evidently the socialists do
not care whether Uncle Sam builds ships and manufactures shells
FOR the destruction of the Huns or not.
Two other platform planks demand that the state furnish employ
mcnt for men who II out of jobs after the war and also provides for
widows and orphans of soldiers. This latter is merely sounding brass,
,or already has the country made provision for the care of war widows
and orphans. 1t did this nearly so years ago.
The socialists, however, were strangely silent about the war, and
apparently more concerned over the welfare of those ]. w. WIS. now
on trial in Chicago than they were over that of the troops at the front.
There are a few things socialists should do: Battle freely, become
patriotic, not talk so much, cease to pose as thinkers, and acquire,
when possible, what is generally known as ordinary common sense.
