WOULD USE USELESS
HORSES BY-PRODUCTS
Dean Hoskins Says Iowa Could
Thus Supply Much Glycerine.

New York. Aug. 4.-Utilization OF
the almost limitless number of
horses unable to work or whose
work value does not equal the cost
of their keep. and the appointment of
animal engineers to direct such util-
iZation, form the two main features
OF a suggestion offered today as a
means of great saving by Dean W.
Hoskins of New York State veter-
mary college. one OF the schools OF
New York University.
Dean Hoskins maintains that
horses which cannot work may be
utilized for food and oils, and their
hides, bones and hoofs used for
manufactured products. Many other
animals may be similarly used, he
claims, under the animal engineer
ing system proposed by him.
Referring to the 24.000.00 pound
shortage Of glycerine. Dean Hoskins
declared fully a fifth of that Guild
me secured by condemning useless
horses in Iowa alone.
He urged eight reasons for using
horse meat as food undeN Federal
inspections. Among the reasons
are:
The large foreign population al
ready used to It.
The meat Is rich and nutritious.
TT is cheaper than other meat.
TT would conserve oats needed
for human consumption as break

.Sandstorm Division Raises
$4,000 to Support Lieut..
Jegou's S Daughters.

Two little French girls, whose
father, Lieutenant Jean Jegou. to-
gether with his comrade in arms,
Lieut.. Fernand Herbert, will be buried
today with high military honors In
Arlington. will not have to read his
tory in after years to be reminded
Of the deep affection that existed be-
TWEEN their own people and the Sam
mies'' of. America.
They will have a reminder in the
form of a fund OF $4,000 the interest
of which will maintain them all their
lives. A fund Of Liberty Bonds to
the amount of $4,000 Is the aim that
the Sandstorm division, of which Gen
eral John A. johnson. former COM
missioner of the District, Is in COM
mand. confidently expect to raise for
the maintenance OF these two French
orphans.
Lieutenant Jean Jegou and Lieut.
tenant Fernand Herbert were two
officers of the French commission at
tached- to the Sandstorm division,
which is the popular name OF the 34th
division, now stationed at Camp Cody,
New Mexico. Lieut.. Jegou was a
grenade expert and his colleague had
expert knowledge Of the 6-centl-
meter gun.
On April 20 these two oficers at
tempted to cross a dry stream near
Silver City. New Mexico. in an auto
mobile.
CIoudburst EnsuIfed Them.
A cloudburst had hit a portion OF
the country a distance up the stream
and they were engulfed in the wall
of water that suddenly flowed down
upon them. Their machine was car
ried down the gorge and precipitated
over a thirty foot drop, snatching the
last chance the men had of saving
their lives.
A meeting was called by Gen. John
son of the officers of the Sandstorm
division. Thereupon the officers each
contributed 80 for the relief of the
widow and two daughters OF Lieut..
Jegou. For Lieut.. Jegou, II was
known. was a. poor man, and his wife
war worker in France. The other
oficer's wife was well to do in her
own right and not in need OF fnan-
cial aid.
This meeting resulted in great en-
thusiasm throughout the Sandstorm
division and It was suggested that
the division adopt the two little girls,
one 1ve and the other three, and
raise fund large enough so that
they could be fed and clothed on the
Interest.
The bodies Of Lieut.. Fernand Her
bert and Jean Jegou arrived in Wash

ARMOR CRAFT
OF OLD TIMES
Experts in the Metropolitan

Modern warfare goes to school more
and more at the feet of the medieval
knights. Having taken from the
Chinese their secret of the stink-pot
battles and Incorporated II into the
methods Of the gas and flame d.
vision. 1t now seeks to wrest the
secret of defensive armor from the
ancients.
The Germans had already revived
the heavy steel breastplates Of the
Middle Ages, the English a lighter

tions are using steel trench helmets
and trench shields, but now Amer

ancient armor. seeking such other
suggestions from It as may be adapt
able to modern warfare.
More than 40 per cent OF the hos
pital casualties suffered in this war
by the allies have been leg wounds
and not less than .33 per cent arm
wounds. What protection did the
ancients have for arms and legs that
might save this heavy man power
loss?
Six Men Know Secrets.
One OF the greatest collections of
armor In the world Is in the Metro
politan Museum Of Art in New York
and to this the War Department has
turned. In connection with the COL
lection the museum had established
an armorer's workroom and to It
had brought one Of the six men now
living, to whom have been handed
down the secrets Of the armorer's
craft. He is NJ. Tachaux. ranked by
many MS the greatest modern armor
er, who received his tuition from the
famous Klein, of Paris. OF the others.
one Is in Dresden. one in London. one
in Switzerland, and two in Japan.
Tachaux for ten years has been as
sistant to Maj. Dean. curator of the
musium, and himself a famous stu
dent of armor. When the war broke
out, the Metropolitan offered the ser
vice of the two and their entire COL
lestion to the government. and Maj.
Dean was commissioned by the o"Iry
and sent to the front. Since January
he has worked INCREASINGLY with NJ.

Tough Metals Devised.
NO less than 25 different types Of

to protect every part of the body.
The greatest difficulty has been in
the improvement OF armor metal. so
that 1t will be tough enough TO turn
bullets, though at the same time light
enough to permit its being worn on
march. Some of the greatest chem
lists and metallurgists OF the country
have collaborated in solving this
problem.

ORDNANCE HAS NEED
OF UNSKILLED LABOR

The action OF the government in
taking over all unskilled labor will go
far toward solving the labor troubles
OF the Ordnance plants, according to
an announcement issued by the War
Department yesterday.
At present there is a e-per-cent.
shortage of labor in the New York
production district Of the Ordnance
Department, AMI IL is understood from
reports received from other districts
that the situation is more serious in
the majority of places than in New
York.
Competition between the plants for
labor is said to be largely respon-
sible for the shortage, and it is antici-
pated that this action of the govern
ment in taking over the control OF
unskilled labor will do much to solve
the problem.

BELGIUM FACES
WORST WINTER
WITHOUT COAL
Germans Seize All Fuel

which before the war was the basis
Of Beirium's prosperity. n now the
scarcest article In Belgium-for the
BelRians. The years production OF
coal was 23,O00,oo0 tons. and $780,
600 men were employed In the
mines before the German invasion.
Now Germany Is taking all the
coal. and the Belgian government is
wondering how the civilian popula-
tion will keep warm next winter.
In the last two winters the Ger
mans have shipped IS per cent of
the coal taken for use IN the muni-
tfons factories. The resultant short
age caused great hardship to the
Belgian people, especially In the
cities.
Men still Deported.
The deportations of Belgian men
and boys which are still going on
will still further decrease the num-
Der Of men available for gathering
coal for the population next winter.
So the people are looking forward
with dread to another winter under
German occupation
Last Autumn the Brussels town
council secured a number Of barges
in which to bring coal by canal from
Charleroi. The Germans promptly
commandeered them. One Of the
suburban councils secured some
tractors. The small amount Of coal
thus secured is not enough for pri-
vate distribution. All the state
schools had to be closed. so even
education Is at a standstill.

were crowded with poor people TAX

their cherries homes. This year even
this refuge is denied. as the museums
are CLOSED for lack of fuel" To
supply this want the town council
plans to open warming rooms"
Homely people had another way Of
saving coal and appearances. They
held little evening parties. called
''vigils." One fire warmed the party.
The invitation was made in turn, and
the same little circle met in different
houses. Last winter 80 out of 100
households had nothing to cook with.
All kinds OF expedients were tried
to secure coal Anyone who was pos
sessed of a vehicle. especially hand
carts. set out for the mines and
brought back what they could. A
long procession could be seen along
the roads, carts pushed by men.
pulled by donkeys or dogs and oxen.
The traders made a good profit.
In the country the fuel shortage
led to a great deal Of thievins Of
posts. fences and gates.
The Belgians do not dare lay in
coal this summer in preparation for
winter They have had too much ex-
perience OF German acquisitions and

they have to depend solely on the
energy of their local governing bodies.
