MANY IN SERVICE
v. NJ. c. A War Secretaries Number
LOO in France.

Hundreds of prominent business
and professional men from the fifteen
middle western states, comprising the
central military department are in
cluded in a roster, just published, of
Y. M c. A. secretaries and volunteer
workers either on their way over sea
or now serving the American troops
in France. Within the past month
the number of men in Y. NJ. G. A.
war service abroad has been in
creased from 934 to nearly 1900, of
whom over LOO are employed in
France alone.
Announcement received at Funston
from the national war work council
of the Y. NJ. c. A, states that impos-
ing as the figures may seem, they
represent but a part of the nee Is of
the Red Triangle for men for such
war work. 1t is estimated that dur
ing the next four months, the 7. NJ.
C. A must add forty-three new sec
retaries or volunteer workers every
hours if it is to handle
adequately its army and navy centers
and administrative and other offices
here and abroad.
Five hundred and twenty secreta-
ries are now employed1 in the central
military department alone. To serve
the needs of the 100000 enlisted SOL

There are at the present tine some
fifty-five young men going to school to
Sergeant Monte and at the same time
helping to turn out an Indispensable
product to the mess halls.
Just now the bakery Is running to
about one-third of its capacity and is
putting out from twelve to fifteen
thousand pounds of bread each day of
twenty-1our hours. Twenty-Five. men
are now working to the shift with one
day and night on and twentyfour
hours off. These men are members of
Bakery company 316, commanded by
Lieut. L. L. Mckinney, who has been
connected with the auarternaster
ond in command is Lieut.. Roger A.
Grant, who had the supervision of a
large Chicago bakery prior to being
commissioned.
Two OF three kinds of flour are
used in this Camp Funston bread.
Rather we should say two or three
grades. To secure a fair quality of
product these are mixed in proper
proportions Fleischman yeast is con-
sidered the standard and three or four
hundred pounds are kept on hand all
the time. Just now the company is
experimenting with potato ferment
with splendid success. This is to he
used in emergencies when a supply of
yeast il not available.
A shift of bakers coming on at 6
az
pounds of bread as follows: 81 sacks
of flour of 80 pounds each, 1876
pounds of salt, IS pounds of yeast and
2S gallons of potato ferment and 80
pounds of lard and oil for pans and
troughs. The ingredients are thrown
into large troughs, seven feet long
about two and a half feet wide and
two feet high. After the dough has
been mixed 1t is allowed to stand for
five and one-half hours to ferment.
Then it is placed on the moulding ia
BILE and made into two pounds loaves.
From the moulding table it is carried
on movable racks to the steaming
room, where It remains for forty-five
or fifty minutes. 1t is steamed to
make 1t light. Mother used to place
her pans near the stove to keep the
dough at the proper temperature and
to insure the proper Fermentation,
Temperature is no less an important
factor at this huge bakery. In fact,
close record of each batch of dough
is kept here, the Temperature of the
rooms and the time of each process,
If batch turns out badly the officer
in charge has only to consult the
chart and check up the trouble to its
proper source. Dough that stands two
inches in the pans when placed in the
steaming room will swell to four
inches in the process of contact with
the warm, moist vapor. For creating
this vapor the bakery has an espe-
cially equipped steam plant.
There are four ovens each with a
capacity of fifty pans of 900 loaves or
500 pounds. The loaves are baked one
hour and five minutes. From the
ovens the finished product is wheeled
to the issue room to which place the
mess sergeants call for their daily al
| lowance. The organizations must
have a credit at the commissary de-
partment before they may receive
their supplies This credit permits of
an allowance of one pound of bread
to each man. That seems to be a lib
eral allowance and there is never a
complaint in the mess halls of an in
sufficency of the staff of life. Nor is
there any complaint of its quality.

Iieutenants Amfahr, James w Bell,

is one of the big jobs of the camp
and a staff that can do the work in a

The department of camp activities
has been merged with the camp ex-

seventeen exchanges in Camp Fun

The profits from the regimental or
unit exchanges will be divided among
the organizations participating. The
profits from the camp exchange on
the Zone will be divided as follows:
To division headquarters, 10 per cent;
each brigade headquarters fund, IA
per cent. The remainder of any divi-
dend declared will be distributed pro

on the basis of their organized
strength
All of the buying for the various
exchanges in the camp will be done
by the camp exchange officer Cop

There was no languishing about the

entering the classifying barracks, the
men were stripped of their civilian

Record Nearly Twenty Tons IN
Twenty-Five Hours.

Thirty-eight thousand eight hun
dred and eighty-e eight pounds of bread
in twenty-five hours. That is the
output of a record run made at the
bakery in east Camp Funston. This,
it is believed. establishes a record for
the army cantonments. It is the re-
suit of test conducted to determine
the capacity of the bakery and the
work of a night and day shift OF
twenty-six men to a shift.
Camp Funston bread is good bread.
1t has staying qualities. There Is no
similarity to that airy nothingness that
is ordinary bakers bread. In fact it re-
minds you of nothing quite SO much
as the Kind that mother used to make.
Frank Monte, sergeant first class,
a baker for years with the regular
army, Iow in charge of the bakers
school, puts it this way: THE com
mercial baker is out for a profit but
Uncle Sam is not trying to make mon
ey out o. his bakeshops. Therefore he
insists upon quality and no skimping."
