INCREASED CONSUMPTION
OF ORANGES ONE RESULT
OF SUGAR SHORTAGE

Attributing the large orange con-
sumption this season to the increased
demands made on the crop by the
thousands of orange-juice stands that
have sprung up throughout the Unit
ed States in the last year, the editor
of the Fruit World says:
"The worldwide shortage of sugar,
estimated at approximately 100000
tons annually since the war began
has caused the restriction of sugar
consumption in the manufacture oil
many of the popular summer drinks
This has increased the consumption
Of oranges this year and has created
a greater market activity in spite o
the abnormally high prices caused D!
the crop shortage following the hea
wave one year ago last June. And s.
the orange-drink stands have allie
waited the demand on the sugar SUP
ply but also have increased the de
mands on shortened orange crop.

COOPERATIVE EXPERIMENTS
FISH.FOOD PRESERV ALTON

Arrangements have been made for
cooperative experimental work by
the Bureau of Fisheries and the Blu
reau of Chemistry on problems OF
preparation and preservation OF fish
cry products for food. The bac-
teriology of the reddening OF salt cod
fish and methods of preventing 1t and
the autolysis of fish meat are being
studied by DR.. W. w. Browne, OF the
College of the City of New York.
DR., G. G. Scott, of the same insti-
tuition, is working on methods OF dry
ing fish in hot air dryers without
salt, and DR.. f. G. Weber, OF the
Bureau of Chemistry, is working OF
the canning of frozen fish and OF
! problems connected with the CANNING
of grayfish and general fish drying
The work is being done at Perkin
Laboratory, Gloucester, Mass, wit
the cooperation of the Gorton-PeN
Fisheries Co.

Uncle Sam Becomes
An Educator

One Of the most pleasing examples
of this kind Of patriot is afforded by
Dr. Walter Damrosch, Of the New
York Symphony Orchestra. Last
spring Damrosch went to France TO
weld his services as a musician 70
the American Expeditionary Forces.
After seeing what he could do, Cen
eral Pershing has appointed him To
the dignifed post OF General-band-
Marshal, to reorganize the American
military bands and place them on a
mar with the French bands, whose
high standard of excellence Is known
Although Damrosch was born In
Germany, he has been the most Wig
gorous Of pro-Americans ever since
we entered the war. Time and again
he has declared himself in unmistak
able language and has urged Ger
man.Americans not to permit false
sentimentality to divert them IRON
their proper allegiance, which is tf
the United States. 1t is fortunate
that his talents can be made available
to the U. s. Army, and it is quite
fitting that his skill and patriotism
should be accorded the recognition
which they have received.

ENGLISH Is TAUGHT IN
OUR ARMY CAMP SCHOOLS

To appreciate the big problem OF
the foreign-speaking soldier and TO
realize how near the Army has come
to its solution, one should observe
him at work In the camp, see him
covered with the dust of the parade
ground, and watch him studying n
his SCHOOLS" in the evenings.
The method of these schools is SIM
pie. The letters of the English al
phabet are written large on huge
blackboard and pronounced over and
over again so that their Sound" be
comes fixed in the ear, Then the
class recites them in unison; Their
individually; then the instructor
skips about the alphabet with hi
long pointer and the individuals tr!
to call the letters correctly.
Recently an officer from Washing
ton visited such a school in one 0
the environments. The instructor, a
Italian, was on his mettle and wishe
the entire class to be so too. All c
J them did we'll, but only one was 10
per cent perfect. This man Gale
r off the letters accurately, missing nj
a single one, though the instructt
!. pointed them out in every way ca
n culated to confuse him.
"So!" exclaimed the instruct'
4 dramatically to the rest of the elias
Y after his star pupil had survived Il
It test. $50! He pack 1t all in his nu
% Why you no do the same?"
