The navy department has released
from Office and shore duty the regu-
lars OF the navy and the reservists and
has assigned them TO active duty with
the fleet. Their places as clerks will
be taken by women wherever possible.
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN. paymaster
general of the navy. issued the order in
connection With this change in policy.
Every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating. adds just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order. Every man of every rank
and rating desires, of course. to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
mo man in the navy Is willing in war
time to do anything that a woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content In any part OF
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work so important in
Its nature that 1t cannot properly be
delegated to any person of lesser rat
ing.
Wherefore II Is requested and di-
rected that the officer In charge of
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make n careful and criti-
cal survey of his personnel. both com
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the pnymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously Interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as well.
and IT is to be distinctly understood in
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number of men for duty ut
the front"

Armor for the American soldiers,
helmets. shields and breastplates, is
being modelled In the workshops of the
metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York. the war department announces.
The best of the types used by the sol
diers of former days is being wrought
into shapes for present warfare. some
pieces on ancient anvils and by ham,
mers that were actually used centuries
ago. e-1.e-e
In direct charge of the workshop
where the work is being done is
French artisan whose skill has been
known to armor collectors the world
over. and whose forbears for genera
lions back have kept alive the dying
trade of the nrmorer.
This war In Europe has brought
back into use many discarded weapons
and practices of medieval warfare.
There has been the adoption of steel
helmets by all the warning powers.
breastplates, armored waistcoats and
trench shields. This necessitated an
overhauiing and new study of ancient
armor. with the result that experts de-
clare that scarcely technical idea has
been brought forward which was not
worked out In elaborate detail by the
old-time armor makers.
The Metropolitan museum collection
Is among the seven great collections of
ancient armor. 1t is an Incident to this
collection that there was established
Mt the museum an armorer's workshop.
SO far as known 1t is unique. In 1t
were cleaned. repaired and restored
pieces that were defective. Daniel
Tachaux. French artist, was in
charge. He Is working now under the
direction of Major Bashford Dean of
the ordnance department.
Armor models are being turned out
there in accordance with the sugges-
tons OF General Pershing and the ord
nance department. Twenty-Five DIFF
ferent types of armor defenses have
Jeen made In various factories in ex-
detrimental lots, several In many thou
sands of pieces. which have won IA
vor at army headquarters. The efli-
cncy of armor protection for the sol
diers is indicated by reports that more
than 40 per cent of the hospital cas-
ualties suffered were leg wounds and
about SO per cent arm wounds. the legs
and arms of the fighters being free
from armor cover.

Important to Merchants and consumers.
There has been much misun-
derstanding regarding the new
order relating to wheatless days.
The wheatless days are still on
and, are more important than
ever, because the wheat short
age is acute owing to hoarders
cutting the supply short 'and
there is no chance of relieving
the strain until the next crop
reaches the mills. The only way
enough wheat flour for shipment
to the soldiers and the nations
abroad can be obtained is to save
it out of consumption. To make
sure that Louisiana will save her
share, Mr.. Parker instituted two
wheatless days each week, upon
which no wheat products of any
kind were to be eaten. sold.
bought. handled or used. He
named Monday and Wednesday
as the days and these days obtain
in all but the Third Congression-
al District, which had previously
instituted Sunday and Wednes-
day. 1t was intended that the
bakers should manufacture bread
made of other flours than wheat
for consumption on those days,
but the vast majority quit turn
ing out any bread at all. thus in
fiicting hardship upon the poor.
Besides, there was an unpatriotic
minority that baked and sold ex-
ira quantities Of bread on the
days preceding the wheatIess
days. and even took advantage
Of the opportunity to profiteer.
So it was decided to clear the
situation and protect the deserv-
ing by permitting the baking
and sale of war bread on wheat
less days and the order applies
to bakers only. In every other
way, the days are still wheatless,
and it is important that they be
sacredly observed.

Cottage Cheese Worker for Louisiana.

Cottage Cheese Worker for Louisiana.
Washington, d. c., May t.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Department
of Agriculture has named Mrs.
Virginia Eaton, district home
demonstration agent of Baton
Rouge, La. toencourage in Louis
lana the production of cottage
cheese on farms and also to stim-
ulate its use in homes.
Cottage cheese is best known
in the South as cream cheese or
kurd, and it is not only most
healthfhl and nutritious food, but
quite pleasant and agreeable to
the taste.
Mrs. Eaton, one of AZ women
agents named for as many States,
is to co-operate with Federal and
State agricultural and home
demonstration agents. Miss
Madge Reese. formerly State
home demonstration agent in Ala
bama, is the leader in the cottage
cheese work for the Southern
States.
The work in Louisiana will be
part of the Department of Agri-
cultures national campaign in
cooperation with the United
States Food Administration, to
encourage the use. as well as the
production, of cottage cheese,
which experiments by the depart
ment have shown is equal in food
value to meat. Cottage cheese
can be made from skim milk or
buttermilk, now largely wasted
or fed to animals. and its extend
ell use is expected 30 save large
amount Of meat which can be used
by the armies and allies of Amer
lea.

A good rain has fallen through
out our territory. 1t has been
nearly a year since. the ground
has been so full of water. Since
the prolonged drouth of last sum-
mer stock watering places aln
wells have been scarce of water
in many places. Tae subsoil un-
der the fields had never been
soaked and consequent appre-
hension was felt for the coming
crop.
Now that there is plenty mois-
ture in the land let US begin to
conserve it lest another dry spell
cause the crops to suffer in mid
summer. By beginning now
much of the present season can
be retained in the subsoil for fu-
ture use. Every time the land
is plowed deeper than three
inches or displaced by a turning
plow, follow within a. half day
with q harrow of some descrip-
tion to break capillary movement

and field work / have learned

Kill the Rats.
For ages past rats and mice
have been doing untold damage
to kitchen pantries. granaries.
stores and warehouses. R. H.
Creel of the u. S. Public Health
Service estimates that there is at
least one rat or mouse for each
man, woman and child in the
United States. This means more
than 100, 600, 600, each Of which
either eats or destroys an aver
age of two dollars worth per
year. The economic Importance
of rats to our country alone is
more than $500. COO. 600 annually
at before the war prices. They
destroy grain when newly plant
ed, while growing. and in the
shock. crib, mill, or ships hold.
Furs. silks, carpets, leather and
groceries are ruined in stores.
Attacks are made on fruits, veg
etables, and meats in markets.
Destruction by pollution is ten
times greater than the amount
actually eaten. The eggs and
young of game and song birds,
and even of chickens are not Sc
cure against their inroads. Rats
are frequently responsible fer
carrying disease germs from
house to house. and occasionally
from city to city. By gnawing
matches they burn houses; by
gnawing doors and floors they
mar the beauty of dwellings.
