NEW JERSEY
 SHIP YARDS
 DO WONDERS

NEWARK. N. J.. Oct. 12 - Ship building in New Jersey has grown within few months from an infant industry to an infant prodigy. A score of vessels. capable of carrying S5,000 | tons of supplies to Americans and their allies across the Atlantic. have been launched and two are ready to sail. Others will take the water at the rate of fourteen a month or of tener, the product of nearly 10000 | machinery.
 The 5.500-ton freighter Agawam, | her fantastic camouflage rising from the marsh reeds of Newark bay like | the creature of a evered imagination, Y, her whistle vent emitting faint wisp of steam by way of promise of an early sailing date. is symbolical of the war-energized New Jersey coast
 Never a shipbuilding state except in limited degree, the commonwealth has become one of the leaders in the Emergency Fleet corporations pro gram for a great American merchant marine.
 In the Newark district, where a little more than year ago yards were being laid out on made ground which was salt meadowland when the United States became a belligerent. 25 900 shipbuiders are turning out twelve completed cargo carriers - approxi- mately S0,000 tons of shipping every month. At ElZabethport, 2.4OO men have all but finished for the govern
 m"nt trio of freighters whose keels
 were laid for private owners. They are also building hug" ocean going
 tugs, and six of these craft will be in
 service in half us many months.,
 The Jersey yards produce both steel and wooden ships The Submarine

On the PassaiC river at kcarny the Foundation company, operator of ten similar plants through out the country. k making wooden huls Next to that al Hog island. the Submarine yard, with twpnty-eight ways, is the largest in the Emergency Fleet association. Another distinc- ! tion for New Jersey is the record of the Foundation company in launching the first wooden ship on the Atlantic coast, and in leading all eastern com petitors in the number of timber craft completed.
 Nearness to New York. hub" of America, has proved both an advan- tage and a handicap to the New ter sey shipyards. It has afforded an eX- tensive labor market yet conglom- crate one. which has neCessitated a great deal of wedding out of misfits It has offset with q network of trans. pOrtati0n systems the otherwise in evtable problem of housing a swo- | len population.

Food Hint for Today

When conserving sugar by the use
OF substitutes, the following guide
may be helpful: One cup of sugar is
equivalent to: one cup of maple syrup,
one cup of sorghum, one cup of honey,
or one and one-half scant cups of
corn syrup. The last named substi-
tuition varies, as some syrups are
sweeter than others.
The general rule is, increase the
corn syrup equivalent of four-fifths
cups one-half if you wish the food
to be so sweet as a food sweetened
with granulated sugar. Four-fifths
cups of corn syrup give the equiva-
lent food value, but one and one-half
cups syrup gives an equivalent sweet
ness. Should you substitute four
fifths corn syrup in a cake for one cup
of sugar you will have the same food
value as if granulated sugar were
used. For a sweeter cake use one
and one-half cups of corn syrup and
decrease the liquid ingredients ac-
cOrdingly.

WHO WANTED RANl

In July we wished for rain. Ii

And the rain came.
Human beings were not the only
ones benefited by the rain. All
summer Pa and Ma Mosquito had tried
their best to bring up a family, but
in van. Pa Mosquito wore his wings
to a frazzle hunting for a rainbarrel
that had something in it besides cracks
where the slaves had shrunk. Stand
ing water, you know, is as necessary
to every well-regulated mosquito fam
lily as We used to think wheat flour
and sugar to a human family.
the first rain fell. And she laid a
'Hurrah," said Ma Mosquito when
few million eggs in a discarded tin
can full of water. All her sisters
and aunts and other female relatives
were doing the same And a few
weeks later they just beamed with
satisfaction as they saw their millions
of progeny troop forth gleefully to
play with their friends and meal tick

AS we said before, in July we wish

LESS GOES INTO GARBAGE CAN
Food Conservation Measures In This
Country Result In Less Waste.

Food conservation measures which
have enabled this country to save and
export 141 million bushels of wheat in
the last year also have been respon-
sibie for decreased garbage collection,
indicating that the housewife has OBJ
served the Food Administration in
junction to put less into the garbage
can.
The Food Administration is encour-
aging the utilization of garbage either
through reduction plants for the rec
lamation of materials from which war
necessities are made or as hog feed
In either case 1t is necessary TO keep
garbage free from foreign materials
paper, glass, crockery, tin cans, and
the like, so that maximum value can
be derived from minimum expense and
labor
The Missouri Division OF the Food
Administration is anxious to impress
Upon the people three cardinal points:
First: To see that no edible food
gets to the garbage can.
SSOOHu. ~ see lHdI gsTOdge is KepU
separate from other household wastes.
such as broken crockery, tin cans,
waste paper, sweepings, etc.
Third: To eliminate the burning of
garbage and to see that it is utilized
by reduction plant for reclaiming
the valuable war materials it con-
tains, or when more practicable used
for hog, cattle or chicken feed.

GET INTO STEP

There are two courses open to every
one in war time.
One is to get behind Uncle Sam anC
push. The other is to get in from
of him and be run over.
Establishment of the Students, Ar
my Training Corps unit at the Uni
Versity of Missouri is going to incOn-
yenience hundreds of students and
others.
When you have carefully arranged
your schedule so that you have no
classes until 10 o'clock, you may not
altogether approve of schedule re-
vision that will mean reveille at $50.
When you have found just the room
you want and settled yourself in it,
you may not like being ordered to
move to some other rooming house
that has been turned into a barracks.
When you are expecting to complete
your work necessary for graduation
by the end of this term, you may OBJ
ject to plan that may cause you to
be transferred to an officers training
camp a month of two ahead of time
As the audience left the University
Auditorium after President Hill had
explained the S. A. T. c. at opening
convocatiOn, one student said to an
other, Il don't like the idea OF 60
ing into a barracks. I'd rather stay
in my own room"
Yes" replied the other, "and you
can't go to a movie without asking
some man"
If every student who has a fault to
find with the new plan were to put
his protest into words, the clamor
would doubtless reach the skies. That
is precisely the reason why he should
not do it.
The S. A. T. c. is a fact. Indi-
vidual convenience cannot be made
to the winning of the war.
Fall in! Forward, march.

LARGE ENROLMENT REPORTED
University High and Elementary
Schools Start Work

Probably due to the new division of
the Junior High School, and the voca-
tional training offered this year at the
University High School, an unusually
large enrolment has been recorded.
Seventy-five registered yesterday.
This exceeds the enrolment preceding
the opening of school, possibly because
the floods in the surrounding county
prevented the pupils from reaching Co.
lumbia.
Any child who has been graduated
from a grammar school or who is
fourteen years OF age is eligible to en-
ter the Junior High School or the vo-
cational training school. The seventh,
eighth and ninth grades are included
in these schools.
A new system of supervised study in
History, Latin, and all sciences has
been introduced whereby the pupil
will spend two hours in school on one
subject but have little or no home
work.
Courses are offered in typewriting
anu SHOI lHdHu dl tue university H1R0
School. The Pittman system OF short
hand will be taught at one o'clock in
the afternoon, and the Gregg system
at three o'clock. The hours for type
writing can be arranged to suit the
student. Miss Rose Rosenthal is in |
charge. A fee of ten dollars for six
teen weeks will be charged. No credit |
will be given in the University for the
work
A kindergarten for children between
and 6 years old is one OF the new
phases of the University Elementary
school, which opened this week. About
hirty pupils are enrolled in this de-
'artment. All other grades have an

The results of census of the Virgin
Islands formerly the Danish West In
diesl have just been published in an
octave volume of ia pages.
The inventory was made, at the re-
quest of the Secretary of the Navy, by
the Bureau of the Census of the De-
partment OF Commerce, under the su-
pervision Of Mr.. Eugene F. Hartley,
chief statistician for manufactures of
the Census Bureau.
The report shows that by this latest
territorial acquisition the area OF the
United States was increased slightly
more than 1872 square miles, this area
being practically that of the three
principal islands, ST. Croix (Santa
CRUZ, st. John, and ST. Thomas. There
are in addition about fifty small islands
or Gays, the largest about one mile
square. The islands were acquired by
treaty with Denmark August 4, 1916.
Interesting and significant is the
fact that the language of the people is
English, though the islands were un-
der the Danish flag for PAS years.
In 1917 the value of the exports from
the United States to the islands was
s1.416,342, and of the imports from the
islands s1.259,6O7.
Population Is 26,051.
The population as OF November l,
1917. was 26,051, and comparison with
earlier censuses shows the population
has steadily decreased from 43,17S in |
1885. OF the total persons in 1917. |
1922 were white. 1888 were negro, /
and 1905 mixed. The sex distribution |
was 1899 males and 14.O52 females.
The returns showed 5.2s1 persons.
or 24.9 per cent of the population 10
years of age or over. to be illiterate.
The population of each of the three
principal islands in 1917 was as fol-
lows: st. Croix 14.9O1. st. Thomas
l0.191, and st. John $50.
The islands contain three cities
