CONN. YOUNGSTERS
 STRONG FOR PIGS

Connecticut boys and girls are go- ing strong in the matter. of growing pigs. The youngsters are increasing their output this year by 500 per cent. both in membership and in the num- Der of pigs they are growing. Pig club work was started in this state a little over twelve months ago. In the first year, 541 members were enrolled and 500 pigs were grown and fattened. Now there are over 2500 members growing more than 5000 pigs. This means an increase in Connecticut s pork supply of over half million pounds, and these pigs are being rais- ed largely on dairy by-products, kitch- en, garden and orchard refuse that would otherwise have been lost.
 Seventeen banks and trust compan- ies in the state have helped to finance boys and girls that wanted to grow pigs. The following table shows the enrolment by counties; each member has at least one pig, many have two or | three pigs, and some have more:
 New Haven County, 800 members. Hartford County, 564 members. Fairfield County, 498 members. I.itchfield County, 2S7 members. Holland County, Ill members. New London County. 102 members. Windham County, 98 members. Middlesex County, 96 members. Total enrolment 2.560 members.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

On this date in 17S2 Samuel Hearne, the gallant explorer of the Canadian north, was defeated by the French at Fort Churchill. Hearne was one of the most daring of the ex- plorers who invaded the northern wilderness, and he has been called "the father of Arctic exploration" as he was the first white man to gaze out upon the ice foes of the Arctic ocean. He also discovered the Great Slave Lake and trafeled through vast regions west of Hudson's Bay, where white man had never been before. He claimed vast territories for England, and built Fort Churchill in an at- tempt to hold it. The French, how ever, defeated this attempt, and took Hearne prisoner. On his release he returned to England, where he died ten years later, at the age of forty eight. His story of his Canadian l career is one of the most wonderful works of its kind ever written.

British Drinking Drops 83 Per Cent.
 Is Latest Report

London. Aug. s.---The gain in na- tional efficiency is so great as a re- suit of the wartime liquor restrictions that it Is certain Great Britain never will return to pre-war conditions in this regard, according to a statement made to The Associated Press recently by Baron D'Abernon, chairman of the Central Board of Control, which has to deal with the drink problem, Ba- ron D'Abernon said:
 "The regulations limiting the hours of sale, providing for the dilution of spirits and beer, and forbidding treat ing, have resulted in remarkable de- creases in drunkenness and the dis eases incidental to drinking. The level of drunkenness today Is about half that of q year ago, when 1t was one-third that of the pre-war time, There has been 6 general decrease of about SS per cent. In drinking among both men and women.
 'The progress of improvement has been so rapid and continuous that the Government Is fully satisfied, and nc further restrictions ara contemplated Tho reduction in temperance has beer larger in this country during the pc, riod since tho restrictions went into effect than Is shown anywhere else 1T the world, The policy has been no to attack the liquor trade but tho in efficiency caused by alcoholic exees sea-"

CONFER ANCIENT
 HONOR ON F0CH
Rank of Marshal First Con. ferred During Crusade of 1191-None for
 Forty Years.

The most ancient and highest mili- tary honor which the Republic of France can bestow is now Foch's-it antedates both the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and the Military Medal; it lacks the political taint of the former but does not aspire to the credit for individual bravery as does the bestowal of the latter.
 For over forty years no one had re- ceived the Marshal's baton in France, when it was given to Papa" Joffre in December, 1916. This somewhat tardy reward for the soldier who had conceived and executed the battle of the Marne was due to the socialistic influences which prevailed in the Briand Ministry in the first year of the war and feared military dictator ship. And now Foch, whose strategy in command of the 7th Army at the battle of the Marne was as dramatic as it was effectual, receives the sec ond baton for winning what may be known as the second battle of the Marne and for having saved, at least | in the popular mind, Paris for the second time.
 This baton, as provided for by the present military regulations, is a staff seventy centimeters long and five in diameter, covered with dark blue vel vet, flecked with gold stars and tipped with silver heads on the rims
 of which is engraved the Latin legend:
 Terror belli; decus pacis" (the terror
 of war. the honor of peace) It is
 carried in the right hand clasped in
 the middle with one end resting on
 the hip and is used to salute instead of the sword
 The dignity was first instituted in
 France by King Philip Augustus at the time of the Third Crusade in 1191

Washington, Aug. 7.---American sol diers and sailors in training at home or in service overseas are learning the game of war "on their own hook" This is the use they are making of the Library War Service, conducted by the American Library Association for the previous idea---and it was that of some library workers---that the library service would be mostly for recreational purposes Is being dis proved by the heavy demand for books on military and naval science and related subjects.
 In nine months after most humble beginning, the Library War Service has become the most universal library in the world. In brief, its accomplish ments include: 3s camp library build- ings erected; fl large camp libraries established; 91 hospitals and Red Cross houses supplied with books; 212 libraries in service; 237 small military camps and posts equipped with book collections; 94s naval and marine sta itions and vessels supplied with libra ries; 1928 branches and stations placed lin Y. M. c. A. and Knights of Colum- lDuS nuts, DarrackS ana mess DdllSi iSS5, BIO books shipped overseas; All, ,5OI books bought, most of them technical; 2,1O0,00 gift books in service.
 Wherever there are American fight. CTS, there Is to be found the library and in the big military camps arc ru merous branches and company sta tSons. Even American prisoners o war in Germany are not neglected b! the library service. for arrangement shave been completed In SwitZerlant flor serving them through that eoun ltry. The Army with it's comna troops, it's training areas and schools lines of communication, ineludin construction men, guards, stevedore and others, and the headquarters an detached units, IS reached by the u brary War Service.

Newspaper Work Is Not NOn-Essential
 Washington Says

Washington, Aug. 8 - Newspaper work never las been included among the non-esseltiaI occupations outlined in the 'wort or fight order, nor has it been the intention of the Provost Marshal Geleral's Department that men legitinately employed in pub fishing newspapers should be required to seek oth'r occupations.
 Officers connected with the admin istration ofthe draft law regulations yesterday expressed surprise at the ruling of the board at Water loo, la, that employees of a paper there should seek more productive employment or be called into the mil itary servie. They said the action of the loca board probably will be overturned by the district board to which it will be appealed.
