WASHINGTON, Feb. $40 keep
pace with the demand for wooden
socks for sailors and soldiers, the
comforts committee of the Navy
league has placed an initial order for
ten sock knitting machines, which will
be installed in the Washington head
quarters. These machines will turn
out in an hour pair of knitting socks
which require the most expert worker
two days to make by hand. Ordinar-
lily from tour to seven days are spent
in making one pair of socks. The
comforts committee has found it i'm
possible to supply all of the requests
for socks and has decided, therefore,
to supplement with machines the work
OF the thousands of women now en-
gagged in knitting socks. If the ma
chimes prove successful they will be
installed in comforts committee of
fees as quickly as they can be bought
At the present time women come
to the Navy league shops, buy WOOL
and take it home with them to make
the garments. Henceforth, when they
come to the Washington shop, they
will be told that if they desire, their
wool will be put on the machines for
them and their socks for the fighting
men will be provided just that much
quicker Machine knitted garments,
it is true, are not quite as good as
those made by hand. 1t is said that
the hand knitted ones will last three
times as long as those made by ma
chimes, but at the present moment,
with thousands of men in need or
socks, it is obviously not expedient to
try too much for quality. Quantity
production is the thing most neces-
sary. Moreover, the machine made
socks are in standard sizes and are
generally quite satisfactory to the
men
Workers are now being trained for
the comforts committee to operate the
knitting machines. For the present
the work will only be done in Wash
ingtOn, but any women not living in
Washington can send either wool or
money in payment for wool to the
Washington office of the comforts
committee, 1416 H street, and socks
will be knitted on the machines for
their order.

To CONSERVE MAN POWER
IN LUMBER INDUSTRY
(By Associated Press

SACRAMENTO Calf, Feb. 8
Recommendation that some provision
be made to give the men engaged in
the lumber industry in California in
struction in first aid treatment with
a view of preventing the large loss Of
time caused by injuries to men has
been made to the state board of con
troll by G. NJ. Romans, state forester
He said conservation of man-power of
the lumber industry in the state is es-
sential for the production of O0,000,-
900 feet of box shocks required by the
government this year. These are
boards used in the manufacture of
boxes.
He urged the purchase by the state
from the federal government of 1000
copies of the United States forest
service first aid manuals for field
parties and that some provisions be
de to meet the cost of keeping two
representatives of the state board of
health in the field during the lumber
ing season to conduct first aid courses
at the various camps. No funds are
available at present to the state board
of health for this work, Romans said,
The state board of control has the
matter under advisement
In making his recommendation Ho-
mans presented statistics showing
that 1852 men were disabled in the
lumber camps of the state in 1916.
Fifty-seven of these suffered fatal in
juries, and 124 we're injured perman-
emily, while 3771 were disabled tenn
porarily.
THE forestry office found many
mills where lumber workers were los
ing time unnecessarily because of a
lack of instruction in first aid and
failure of those directing labor to i'm
part the necessary instruction because
of lack of knowledge" Romans said.

Learn Something About Corn

Corn isn't one food. It's a dozen.
It's a cereal It's a vegetable. It's a
bread. It's dessert. It's nutritious !;
more food value in it, dollar for dol.
lar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good
you don't know until you've had corn
bread properly cooked. Best of all,
it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
How much do you know about corn?
About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And
what you miss by not knowing more
about it? Here are a few of it's uses
Corn Dodger.-Two cups corn meal,
one teaspoon salt, two teaspoons fat,
one and three-fourths cups boiling
water Pour the boiling water over
the other materials. Beat we'll. When
cool, form into thin cakes and bake
thirty minutes in a hot oven. Make
fourteen biscuits. These crisp little
biscuits are good with butter or gravy.
Eat them with your meat and vege-
tables.
Corn Meal and Meat-Corn meal is
good combined with meat Such dish
is meal in itself. Try this one: Two
cups corn meal, six cups water, one
tablespoon fat, one onion, two cups to-
matOes, one pound Hamburger steak.
Make mush by stirring the corn meal
and one and One-fOurth teaspoons of
salt into boiling water. Cook forty
five minutes. Brown onion in fat, add
Hamburger steak and stir until red
disappears. Add salt, pepper and to.
mato. A sweet pepper is an addi-
ton. Grease baking dish, put in layer
of corn meal mush, add seasoned
meat, and cover with mush. Bake one.
half hour. Serves six.
There are at least fifty ways to use
corn meal to make good dishes for
dinner supper, lunch or breakfast.
Here are some suggestions:
Hot Breads-Boston brown bread,
hoecake, mullins, biscuits, griddle
cakes, waffles.
Desserts-Corn meal molasses cake,
Apple corn bread, dumplings, ginger.
bread, fruit gems.
Hearty Dishes-Corn meal Gro.
quettes, corn meal fish balls, meat and
corn meal dumplings, Italian polenta,
tamales.
The recipes are in Farmers Bull
letin SOS, Corn Meal as a Food and
Ways of Using It," free from the de.
partment of agriculture
Eat less wheat. Get into the corn
line.

NEW EIGHT-HOUR LAW
TO Be TESTED ON APPEAL

In the commissioners court at Fair
banks the case of the United States VS..
George A. Coleman and the Northern
Commercial company came up for
trial. The defendants we're charged
with violation of the eight-hour law,
passed by the last legislature.
Upon motion of the district attor-
ney, the case against Mr.. Coleman was
dismissed and the other matter went
to trial The prosecution put in some
testimony and the company offered
no defense. The company thereupon
was found guilty of violating the
eight-hour law and Commissioner Hell
Zig fined it $3.50.
The case will now be appealed to
the district court and then, probably,
to the circuit court of appeals, or su-
preme court, for final decision.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
GIVES SOME CORN FACTS

Let us face the facts. The war stu
alton is critical. Unless the allies
fight as they never yet have fought,
defeat threatens. Hungry men can not
fight at their best; nor hungry ma
tons. France, England and Italy are
going hungry unless we feed them.
They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest
to ship. We alone can spare it to
them. By saving just a little-less
than quarter of what we ate last
year-we can support those who are
fighting our battles. And we can do
it without stinting ourselves. We have
only to substitute another food just as
good.
The Corn of Plenty
Corn is that food. There is a sur.
plus of it. Providence has been gen.
erous in the hour of our need. 1t has
given us corn in such bounty as was
never known before-tons of corn
trainloads of corn, five hundred million
bushels over and above our regular
needs. All we have to do is to learn
to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic
duty made so easy? And so clear?
Corn! 1t is the true American food
The Indians, hardest of races, lived
on it. Our forefathers adopted the
diet and conquered a continent. For a
great section of our country it has
long been the staff of life. How we'll
