FOOD CONSERVATION I'm
PLANT LUNCHROOM
71HE United States Food Admins !

6T7HE United States Food Adminis-
tration has repeatedly warned
the country to curtail it's con-
sumption of food. Just now there is
being conducted in one of our most
important government bureaus a res
taurant where the program of the
food administration is being carried
out in mastery manner
This lunchroom covers about 60,00U
square feet of space on the top floor
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing. About one-half of this area is
used for a dining hail. divided into
two sections, one side for men and the
other for women, Owing to. the great
increase in the number of employees,
even this amount of room has become
inadequate, and part of each one OF
the two big roof gardens has been
furnished to accommodate the over
flow.
The workers in this important
branch of the government service now
number about 1000, and they are
compelled by the very nature of their
work to remain within the confines of
the building from the moment of their
entrance until the completion of their
daily tasks Most of them are en-
gagged on exhausting and Iaborious
of physical endurance. This of ne
cessity means a well nourished body.
These facts led to the establishment
of the Bureau Cooperative Lunch
Association, whose treasurer, l.. n.
Brown, in his latest financial staso-
ment, reports sales for the month
amounting to $4,000, with resources
and Liabilities balancing.
The lunchroom Is open for business
at five specified periods throughout
each twenty-four hours, beginning at
midnight, with n half hour period for
the night force, and another between
3 and in the morning. Breakfast
is from 1880 to s.; midday luncheon
from IL to 1890; dinner from $3.50 to
$50, and supper from $3.50 to $3.50.
One feature of the lunchroom is the
| serving of hot meal, consisting of
an ample supply of vegetables, meat,
four slices of bread, butter, tea, cofree
or cocoa for 20 cents. No fried food
is served, but good soups and stews
and vegetables are dispensed from
! steam tables at a small cost. An

may so lack the other necessary quail
tiles as to be useless in the role of a
sniper, while some other soldier of
less ability with the rife may be fit-
ted In every other way, and can, with
practice. add to his qualifications the
art of shooting.
The sniper is sent into the field to
protect his own trenches and all ap-
proaches thereto. This is accom-
plished by keeping the enemy fire
down to minimum, by obtaining
mastery over enemy snipers and by
obtaining information about enemy
works. But he also must discourage
all tho operations of the enemy, both
offensive. and defensive. This the
sniper does by instilling into the en-
emy the knowledge that out on the
disputed terrain which divides the
trenches, or hidden in some post of
vantage, behind or to one side of the
opposing line, lie men patiently watt
unerring death to him who shows
himself for even a few brief seconds.
1t is such work as this which tends
to break down individual nerve in the
enemy rank and file just as the con-
stant dripping of water striking mo-
notonously upon the same spot on the
forehead of a torture victim can be
counted upon to drive him hopelessly
insane within a few hours.
The active life of the average sniper
- nv AOh6' iCl MS u idlHlHB is DOIn
long and expensive, while his weapon
must be the finest. That perhaps,
better than anything else, Indicates
the Importance of the sniper in the
world war.
When the sniper goes forth to duty
he must know the lay of the land in
that portion of the battle front where
on he expects to work He NAV find
protection in previously planned
shelter for just this purpose, or he
may make his post in a tiny crater in
no mans land, or in q room of some
ruined house. But, if necessary, the
sniper must also be able to create
cover where none exists, and create n
in such way that it will defy detec-
ton.
Once a sniper has taken up his post
there are innumerable things he must
do and remember in order that he
may remain undetected by the en-
envy. If his post be in a house, he al
ways stands at the back of the room
when firing. When shooting through
small aperture in brickwork, the
sniper always waters the opening
thus preventing the gas of the ex-
plosion from blowing out any dust
and betraying the spot whence the
shot came. In constructing a new
loophole, in earth, the sides are al
ways boarded or otherwise protected
to prevent the explosion from blow
ing dust. In constructing new loop
holes they are always gagged" at
front and curtained behind. Before
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-06-27

removing the gag" the sniper al
ways drops the curtain, to prevent
light striking through the loophole
and thus betraying his position.
When a new sniper's post has been
constructed, it is always left unoccu-
pied for day or two and kept under
observation, to see whether or not it
has been spotted by enemy snipers
and is being fired upon. Once a used
sniper's post has been discovered by
the enemy, sniper leaves it as soon
as possible, but not before he had
posted dangerous" sign that those
who follow him may read.

. The sniper of today is a highly de-
veloped prototype of the sharp
shooter" of days gone by. Nor is the
art of sniping itself entirely a product
of this war, although the rules that
govern sniping today are entirely diff
ferent from those ever used before.
Shipping originated in the Crimean
war In the British army, was en-
ployed to considerable extent dur
ing the civil war and sporadic in
stances cropped up in the Indian mu-
tiny of '56. No organized efforts in
this direction, however, had been
made. Probably the first organized
system of sniping was established by

ing in the field is done with it where
The army in Alsace, in the Vosges and
also in the Jura and the Haut-Saone
use it for this purpose. The securing
of peat and it's preparation are simple
and not arduous, so that French wom-
en- are employed in certain peat beds
in the Alsatian districts. In other beds
the French soldiers are utilized, but 1t
is the German prisoners who are de-
pended upon for the chief output.
Sweden, 1t is said, could not survive
the reduction in coal imports if il
were not for the possibilities now con-
sidered as lying in her peat bogs,
though these deposits are inferior and
95 per cent water in many places. Like

peat hogs The hogs of Maine are quite
well known. The governors of Maine
and Massachusetts have sent mes
sages to their legislatures recon-
mending Investigations of local peat
deposits.
Canada, having vast deposits of peat
practically untouched, has gone so far
in her Investigations that men have
been sent to Europe to see how the
peat industry is being conducted
there. At Alfred, Ontario, a, peat plant
was operated for about two years, and
the output placed in Ottawa, in order
to familiarize the people with it's use
in the future. When the war broke
out the plant shut down. About 49,
600 acres in Canada consist of peat
bogs. Twenty-Five of these are in On
tario, twelve in Quebec and several
others in Manitoba and the coastal
provinces.
Canadian experts, realizing that
the average heating plant is suitable
only for coal, believe that the best
results. will be obtained in the burn
ing of peat through by-product re-
covery producer gas plants and the
gas piped to buildings. Canada has

School to Train Shapshooters for the United States Army

Army will, when he starts for over
seas duty, be qualified to handle his
service arm in an effective manner.
In other words, the establishment of
this school is the fulfllment of the
appeal sent months ago by Gen. Per-
shing, and which in this country re-
ceived strong backing from the Ma
tional Rifle Association of America,
many of whose officials are now
identified with the big shooting camp
on Lake Erie, that every man be
given a thorough training in marks
manship before being sent on over
seas duty.
In addition to training men who
will later train members of their re-
spective divisions. there will also be
turned out men who are qualified to
become American snipers, who will
take up their work on the far-flung
battle lines of Europe. with the crack
shots of England and Canada, there
to harass the Hun and destroy the
morale of the enemy.
Il X
More than 500 officers have already
entered the school for months in
tensive training. and within less than
two weeks another body of men, more
than 500. will report for instruction.
The school has been established at
Camp Perry, Ohio, the largest rife
range in this country, and among the
largest in the world. Prior to being
taken over for government use this
range included a tract of 1000 acres.
but already additional ground has
been used with a view of fitting it
up for government use for the term
of the war. Camp Perry lies on the
shore of Lake Erie, within sight of
PUTIN Bay, where Commodore Perry
fought his famous fight. 1t is. be-
cause of this fact that the camp was
so named.
Steps have been taken by the gov
ernment to insure to the men coming
to the school for instruction the best
that can be given in every phase of
rifle and pistol knowledge. The COM
mandant of the school is Lieut.. Col.
Morton c. Mumma, one of the best
military shots of this country. In
recent years closely identified with
rifle and pistol shooting in the Army.
Col. Mumma. in 1913, was captain of
the Palma team. Each year, prior to
the war, there was held an interna-
tional match, at which gathered men
who wepe the crack shots with the
military rife in their respective
countries. The Palmer trophy rep
resents the most coveted prize which
can be won by a team in the world,

The riksdag voted a large appropria-

If this is true. and the American
peat deposits are so rich in fuel value,
we need have no fears of certain fuel
famine. The failure here to manufac-
ture peat fuel on commercial basis
with success appears to have been due
