The demand for specialists In the
army is increasing daily. Mechanics
and techniclans of all kinds, including
radio and buIzer operators, are need
ed by the signal corps.
In nearly every large city the fed
eral board of vocational training.
through local school authorities. has
established schools OF radio communi-
cation where men of draft age who
have not been called may receive a
preliminary course In the operation OF
radio and buzzer instruments. There
are about coo of these schools where
instruction is given. usually In the aft
ernoons and evenings. 1t takes about
200 hours for a student of average
ability to obtain a speed of 20 words
minute, sending and receiving.
Electrical engineers and men with
good fundamental training in engineer
Ing or physics are particularly In de-
mand for signal corps work. Men Of
satisfactory qualifications are given
three months training in special
schools, and have every opportunity to
take examinations leading to promo
ton.
Men who have nau experien.o as
electrical repair men, wiremen and me-
chanics are also desired for assign
ment to special schools and later to
field organizations.

Sponue Industry.

The best sponges come from the
Levant, in the eastern Mediterranean,
and are obtained by diving. The Lev
antine sponge divers often cut pieces
from large sponges, replant the pieces,
and tie them to stakes to keep them
from being swept away by the current.
They soon grow at an enormous rate.

When the five new regiments and
10 battalions of railway engineers now
being organized are put on duty there
will be $4,000 Americans engaged In
railroad construction and operation in
France.
After the United States entered the
war one of the first requests transmit
ted to this government by the French
mission was for assistance In strength
ening the French railways. Nine regi-
ments of railway engineers, whose or
ganization was started before General
Pershing sailed, were In France by Au-
gust, 1917. Six of them have been en-
gagged In construction work, building
and rebuilding railways, building docks
and rearranging terminal facilities.
The other three regiments have been
engaged in operation, and some OF the
railway troops have been on the fight
ing line. The additional troops will
be used partly for construction and
maintenance and partly for operation.
A total of $3.50, 100000 has been spent
on railway materials alone. Included
In the purchases are 1,727 locomotives.
22,63O freight cars and $4,000 tons Of
steel rails.

Reports are reaching the children's
bureau of the department Of labor from
the hundreds and thousands of women
who during the last 90 days have been
weighing 100000 children of Amer
lea, and the way in which permanent
poverty menaces the healthy growth OF
the children of the nation Is being re-
vealed as q result of the weighing and
measuring campaign.
Workers have been so much aroused
by the conditions revealed that they re-
quest information regarding follow-up
work. Many of the families are de-
scribed as being pitifully poor. One
mother had a new baby wasting sway
for want of milk. The mother was
told to drink one quart of milk day
herself and to give one quart day to
each of her six children. Milk Is 16
cents a quart, and the family income
SIS a week. The women writing to
the children's bureau said they old
not know how to solve the problem.
The children's bureau has been COM
PEELED to reply to such reports that
federal appropriations are available
only for the families Of men actually
In the military or naval service.

reserve corps.
The army now includes two divisions
of colored troops, which when fully
constituted will include practically all
branches of the service; infantry, en-
gineer, artillery, signal corps, medical
corps and service battalions with men
technically trained In all branches of
scientific work.
There are now openings in the vet
erinary corps for negroes skilled In
veterinary and agricultural work. Ar
rangements have been completed to
send negroes registered but not yet
called to schools and colleges this
summer for training in radio engineer
ing, electrical engineering, auto me-
chanics, blacksmithing and the opera
ton Of motor vehicles.
Scores of firms throughout the
United States have been penalized for
violations of rules of the food admins
tration. In some cases licenses to op-
crate have been suspended; In others,
contributions to the Y. NJ. Q. A., Red
Cross, and other organizations have
been accepted In lieu Of suspension of
license.
Among the more numerous violations
are sales Of -four without substitutes;
refusal to accept delivery of foodstuffs
previously ordered; operating without
licenses; excess sales of sugar; carry
ing more than a normal 80 days sup
ply of sugar failure to use the proper
amount of flour substitute in bread
making; and profiteering.
Next to the aggregate number of sub
scribers, perhaps the most striking fea-
ture of the third Liberty loan was the
support given 1t by the farming and
rural populations of the country, ac-
cordlng to statement by the treasury
department. Not only did the farmers
purchase literally of the bonds, but
the rural communities as rule were
more prompt In completing their
quotas of the loan than the larger
cities More than 10000 communities
in the United States subscribed or
oversubscribed their quotas, many of
them on the first day Of the campaign.

REJECT HIGHER
WHEAT PRICE
CRy Associated Press,

Washington. April 1S.-PropoBed
increase of the government guaran-
teed price Of wheat TO $3.50 was de-
feated last night in the house. which
rejected by vote OF 1877 to SO the
senate amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bin making the
change.
This action sends the question
back to conference and the senate
now is expected to recede so as no;
TO hold up the appropriation bill.
Under the food control act, the
price of 1918 wheat was fixed at 50 a
bushel, but by proclamation last
February President Wilson fixed a
minimum guarantee OF $2.20 a bushei
at the principal interior primary
markets. Under the senate rider to
the appropriation bill the price would
be increased to $3.50 q bushel and the
farmers local elevators made the
basic market.
A proposal to concur in the senate
amendment and re-establish the
interior markets as the basis was re-
jected $50 to 1SS and another to in-
clude the same guarantee for the 1919
crop also was rejected.
