ENGINEERS PERFORM
GREAT WORK IN FRANCE

Washington, d. c., March 27.-l
Secretary of War Baker, has just re-
viewed with commendation the great
work that has been done by the Uni
ted States Engineering Army at the
entrance port in France for our ex-
peditionary forces. In the last six
months these troops have transform
ed what was then an insignificant
shipping point with facilities for only
half dozen vessels into harbor
that rivals the greatest American
port.
Forty millions of dollars worth of
machinery and materials were placed
in the hands of the American En-
gineers. They dredged the shallow
channel and made a deep waterway.
The dredging filed in the marshes.
These were covered with miles of
piers and warehouses. Now sixty
steamers can load and discharge their
cargoes simultaneously The eastern
end OF General Pershing's bridge of
ships is built.
The largest railroad yard in all
France has made the war zone tribu-
tary to this port, Miles of switches
and hundreds of train crews are busy
handling the food and supplies for
the boys at the front Shops and
roundhouses are ready to keep the
rolling stock in good repair.
Many battalions of Engineers were
required to build this distributing
center in so short a time. Carpenters,
bridge builders, pile drivers, machin
lists, concrete workers, structural
steel workers, riggeFs, surveyors,
dredgers, dock helpers. railroad op-
orators, trackmen, cooks and general
utility men all helped to complete
this military task.
This now harbor was planned and
the improvements were all made by
the Engineering soldiers. The Engin-
GERS are the pioneers of the army.
They make the way possible for the
advance of the Infantry and Artil-
lery They are the skilled workmen
of the army. The First Replacement
Regiment of Engineers, stationed at
Washington Barracks, D. c., trains
men for the different organizations of
the United States Engineers.
The personnel of units in the En-
gineering Army is similar to that of
an industrial organization. Each man
in the army applies his technical
knowledge to solving military prob
lens. soldier con follow his chosen
profession in the army as we'll as the
man in the industrial world.

PLANS TO BUILD
STORAGE HOUSES
Wooden Structures Are Prefer
able Because Cheaper and
Easier to Keep Dry.
ALLOW CIRCULATION OF AIR
"Duuout" ls Not Satisfactory on Ac.
count Of Moisture-Foundatio May
BE In the Form Of Pillars
or Solid Walls.

From the United States Department OF
Agrlculture)
Sweet-potato storage houses may De
built of wood, brick, hollow tile, ce-
ment. or stone. Wooden houses are
preferable, because they are cheaper
and easier to keep dry than the other
types. It Is difficult to keep moisture
from collecting on the walls of &C.
ment, stone, or brick house. Where
such houses are built for sweet-potatO
storage they should be lined with lum-
Der so as to keep the air in the house
from coming in contact with the ma
sonry walls. It is best to build sweet
potato storage houses on foundations
that allow q circulation of air under
them. The "dugout," or house built
partly under ground, Is not satisfac-
tory for storing sweet potatoes In the
South, because it is practically impos-
sible to keep this type Of house dry, and
moisture in the storage house Will
cause the crop to rot.
Foundation Of House.
The foundation of the storage house
may be in the form of pillars or solid
walls and should be of such a height
that the floor is about on the level
| of the bottom of the wagon bed, while
| the footings should be carried below
the frost line or to solid ground. Grid
ers 6 by 10 or by 8 inches in size
are usually placed on the pillars.
Where cement, brick or stone
foundation walls are built, they should
extend IS to 20 inches above the
ground level and plates 2 to inches
thick and 8 to 10 inches wide should
be placed on the wall. In using walls
for the foundation it is necessary to
provide means for ventilation under
the house. This can be done by plac-
ing small windows in the foundation
every 10 to II feet. Even where solid
outside foundation walls are used it is
advisable to use pillars for the cen
