Salt producers have agreed with the
United States food administration to
pack their product in only few stand
ard sacks and when packed in wood
the barrels where possible will be
hoped with wood instead of steel.
When packed in cotton, salt will here
after be obtainable in only five. ten and
twenty-five pound or larger sacks. Pro-
portionately, a one-pound sack. will
contain so per cent more cotton than
a fve-pound shck. The new arrange
ment is expected to save large guam
titles of cotton and steel and reduce
the drain on labor.
BY an arrangement between officials
Of the war and navy departments the
navy will obtain through the draft all
the recruits needed. An average allOt-
ment of $4,000 men each month will
be received by the navy in this way,
and is not to be exceeded except in
cases of emergency. OF this allotment
the navy is to enlist or enroll, when
needed, men who have special qualifi-
cations to fill requirements for those
skilled in particular naval service.
Most Of the $4,000 will be taken from
the r1a Of the draft. OF these navy
C1ncSa!s will choose the skilled men.
