The departmental field and track

cess There may be some aching
bones among those who contested in
the twenty-three events at Central

reason to feel proud Of their achieve

More than three thousand depart
ment followers sat in the stadium
through an ideal day, watching the
athletes, men and boys and girls and
women perform, listening to the
music from two frst-elass bands and
having a general good time Of it.
The Navy Department, heavily re-

the Navy Yard, was an easy winner

STOP RESERVINC
SLEEPERS BY WIRE

Notices have been received by local
officials Of the Central of Georgia and
Seaboard Air Line railroads to dis
continue the practice of making res
ervations to secure Pullman space at
other points by wire, The order is eff,
fective Immediately
1t is understood that most of the
roads in the various parts of the
country will either discontinue this
service at once, or have already done
so The action is taken by the roads
on account of the expense attached
to the service and in view of the fact
that the roads have done away with
competition.
The loads will also discontinue the
use of local wires in making reserva-
tions for individuals, which they have
been doing at their own expense. Here
after, space will be secured after the
reservation has been paid for by the
individual.
1t is understood that whenever indi-
viduals want space reservations at
other points they will have to tele-
graph at their own expense.

SMALL LOAF FOR
The SMALL FAMILY

OF enable the people of the United
States to make still further savings
OF the wheat -four which is now so
vital to the success of the allies, the
food administration has decided to
permit the bakers of the country to Of
fer for sale three-quarter pound
loaf
Heretofore the smallest loaf allow
ed under the baking regulations was
that weighing one pound. The new unit
will not displace the one-pound loa$,
but NAV be baked in addition to it,
and the other weights that have here
ufore been allowed. The new ruling
became effective today.
INVESTIGATIONS recently conducted by
TIE food administration led to the con-
yiction that in several of the large
cities of the country there are many
families whose daily consumption of
bread is less than one pound. These
families are those consisting of two
pcrsons or even larger families, the
members of which take one or more
meals away from hime. The one-pound
leaf has given these families more
bread than they could economically
consume and the twelve-ounce loaf
now announced in order that bakers
may produce a unit better fitted
the needs of such city dwellers.
Individual loaves of the new uE
may weigh three-quarters of an ounce
under or three-quarters of an ounce
over the prescribed weight, but an av-
cage of twenty-five loayes must weigh
not less than twelve ounces. Loaves
of this weight may be baked either
singly or in twin form-that is to say,
two in a pan, and their manufacture
is subject to the same rules as to in
gradients as all other bread. The price
of the three-quarter pound loaf should
be relatively lower than that of the
one-pound loaf.
It is expected that city bakers will
take advantage of this rule, but in
many sections of the country the de-
mand for loaves weighing less than
one pound is not large enough to
warrant the adoption of the new unit.

Fenlope Clarke, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter F. Clarke, of this city,
has just been appointed yeoman in
the United States Navy and assigned
to work in a cable office in New York.
He parents believe she is the first
woman to receive appointment as a
yeoman in the navy The work of
peoman consists of stenography, type
writing, bookkeeping and other cleri-
cal duties, and it would seem that
women and girls might wear the uni
forms of the navy with as much credit
as the men and boys who go into this
branch.
