Danger of Suffering
Continued from Page One)
Suffering Is Imminent

This situation. coupled with today's
railroad administration reports that
freight and coal movement was al
today in the East. prompted Fuel Ad-
minlstrator Garfield to announce that
the possibility Of human suffering is
too imminent to permit any relaxation
in the present efforts to conserve ana
increase the existing supply of coal"
Dir. Garfield expressed the hope,
however, that after next week railroad
freight embargoes and preferential coal
delivery orders may be used as sub
stitutes tor heatless Mondays to ef-
feet coal saving.
Considering Suspension Tuesday
The fuel administration is consider
ing issuing a request that all indus
tries and business houses suspend OPP
erations next Tuesday, Lincolns birth
day.
Officials are now convinced that the in
dustrial suspension has been etficacious
in actually saving fuel in quantities 50
that the consumption at other times has
not been increased by the temporary
shutdown. Without attempting to measure
the result by parative statistics. Off
Gals cited the report Of the national COM
mittee on gas and electric service that in
% large cities gas and electric companies
saved from q to q per cent. os their
normal coal consumption on the Iive-day
suspension period between Jan. II and -
and on the heatless Mondays. These pub
lie utilities were said to furnish a fair
idea of the general saving.
State and local fuel administrators re-
ported today that hundreds of manufac-
turing plants are using their last days
supply Of coal without imme-
date prospects of obtaining more. In
many cities. householders besieged rail-
road yards to get a few bushels OF the
coal from the cars that came trickling in
over railroads crippled by yesterdays bly,
ter blizzard.
For the railroads weather conditions to-
day were a little better. but still freight
traffic was less than half of normal and
coal had preference everywhere
comparatively small stocks Of it were
hauled.

HOW TO BREAK BRooDY FOWL
conflne Hen In Small Coop With Stat
Bottom and Give Her Plenty Of
Water to Drink.

When hens become broody and it is
not desired to allow them to hatch
chickens, they should be "broken up
US quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break q hen of broodiness
she should be confined to a small coop,
preferably with a Stat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink; she may
be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found in the time
required to break her of broodiness
whether she is fed or made to fast.
Usually three to six days Of confine-
ment will do the work, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
ton to stay on the nest at night, the
rufliing of her feathers and her de-
sire to pick anyone who approaches
her, and by the clucking noise she
makes.

Secretary Baker Intends to Util.
ize Nations Manpower to the
Utmost During War.
CONGRESS GETS BILL
Measure Is Drawn to Raise Maximun
Age Limit for Voluntary Enlist.
ment in Army From Forty to
Fifty-five Years.

Washington, May 27.-When Secre.
tary Baker sent to Congress the draft
OF bill proposing to raise the maxi.
mum age limit for voluntary enlist.
ment in the army from 40 to So years,
another move toward full utilization
OF the nations manpower was made.
All men over 40 so enlisted would
be assigned to non-combatant serv.
ice
In a letter to Speaker Clark, asking
the bill be pushed, Secretary Baker
said:
Every man above the age of 40
years who is enlisted in non-combat-
ant branches of the service will make
available for duty with the line troops
man within the prescribed age linn
1t for all troops.
Valuable for Long Experience.
MANY men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the va
rious staff corps and departments
may be thus secured, instead OF
younger men without such experience,
and the efficiency of the staff corps
and departments would thus be in.
creased"
There probably are 100000 men in
the United States between the ages
of 40 and 55. many thousands of whom
have already attested their desire to
serve. A great majority of the men
in this class undoubtedly will be re-
strained from enlisting by family and
business ties, but the number at lib.
erty to join the colors is expected
to be more than sufficient to meet
the purpose.
40 Per Cent Of Army Non-combatant.
Staff corps positions include many
duties behind the 'front.' Every head
quarters unit includes a number of
positions for which the older men
would be just as we'll suited as the
present occupants, who, under the new
plan. would be released for line duty.
Initial estimates are that a mod.
ern army, to be maintained as an ef-
ficient unit, must have between 40
and 45 per cent of its actual strength
on duty behind the fighting zone.
This means that of the first 100000
men sent to France, 100000 serve
along the line of communication, in
hospitals or at the various headquar.
tiers and debarkation bases

Army Nurses Are Scarce.

Washington, May 27.-Training
camps for army nurses may be es-
tablished as result of the shortage
of nurses in the hospitals here and
in France. Secretary Baker recently
conferred with Surgeon General Cor.
gas and members of the army nurse
corps regarding the best way of in
creasing the number of available nurs.
es without drawing too heavily on
private hospitals. The alternative
to the training camps Is to assign ap.
prentices to graduate nurses in camp
hospitals.
