German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
.43-caliber automatic pistols has
brought about change in the equip
ment of the American Expeditionary
forces by the war department and the
ordnance department is rushing pro-
ductiOn of these weapons. About 5000
are turned ont daily and production IS
increasing. The impression exists that
shot from an American 40 takes
man out of action completely. Men
hit from the smaller German pistols
frequently continue in action effec-
lively. The As caliber was adopted
by the United States army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
branch of the ordnance department
has effected saving during the past
two calendar months of nearly $1,000
600, mostly on small-arms ammunition.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvage waste prevention and
the utilization or sale of discarded ma
terials have aggregated $S,757 ops.
Cost of Vlckers machine guns has been
reduced $322.35 EACH Colt machine
guns, 1884 10 each; Lewis machine
guns, 500 each. Government rifles
now cost 500 each, a reduction of $13
each.

Goat Milk Good for Infants and
InVaIids

An interesting Bulletin No. 285 has
recently been issued by the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Berkeley, Cal, on
the Mich Goat i'm California.
In referring to the uses of goat milk,
il says:
1.-The most striking results go far Sc
cured relate to the feeding Of goats
milk to infants. The station has had
the opportunity of supplying this milk
to a fairly large number of very young
children who were in serious physical
condition, due to their inability To prop
erly digest and assimilate either mcdi-
fed cows milk or any of the CONNER
cial infants foods that were tried. In
nearly all cases of this kind the physi-
cal condition Of the children has been
built UP, and sat afactary growth has
been brought about by lhc use OF goats
milk.
