REMOVE SMALL CANS
FROM SYRUP MARKET
Rule Made to Save Tin Plate, Labor
and Transportation
Facilities.

Small cans of syrup and molasses
can no longer be bought. After their
present stock of them is exhausted,
the manufacturers will adopt the new
schedule for the conservation of tin
planned at a meeting with the U. S.
Food Administration at Washington.
Three standard sized cans contain
ing 21a, and 10 pounds will be used
for syrup and molasses. All small
and odd sizes will be discontinued.
Packing in small cans calls for need
less consumption of steel, tin plate,
labor and transportation facilities. A
one-pound can, for instance, repre-
sents a saving in tin of about 20 per
cent over 4 ounce cans. In addition,
the expense of filling and handling
the smaller container is practically
equal to that of the larger one which
also has the advantage of requiring
less shipping space for equal bulk of
contents.

 Thrilled Over Yankee AirInen
First American Air Raid North of ,Verdun Great
 est on Western Front.

Washington. Oct. 10.-Word. of the first great American air raid against the German camps north of Verdun, sent thrill through war department officials today, although no official report had been received to furnish details of the exploit.
 So far as could be learned, however, the participation of $50 machines in this one enterprise marks it as the greatest air offensive yet undertaken on the western front in point of the air forces employed.
 No record could be discovered here tonight showing, either allied or Ger man bombing raids on anything like similar scale.
 The most significant feature of the first great American raid outside of it's possible place in the great strate- gic game that is being played on the western front, is the fact that it in- dicates that the United States has taken it's full place beside .the allies 1 in the air as we'll as on land and see.
 The bombing squadrons which made ur this air fleet probably represent the first definite American unit aof major importance in the independent air forces which are being built up by the entente powers.
 The British and French govern ments now officially describe their bombing operations as the work of this independent air force. Another striking point about the size of the American raiding fleet is the fact that it is only the first American blow from the air in the campaign.

 BOMBS A DAY

London, Oct. 10 British Wireless Service )-During fifteen successive days recently the British artillery hurled more than 10000 tons of shells day upon the enemy, according to statement by Winston Spencer Churchill, the minister of munitions.
 MT.

The great scope of this organization was revealed by the minister through his statement that between 100000 and 3,00O,000 per sons were engaped in the making of munitions in Great Britain.
