Tn order to tell you how this big naval establishment is managed, and how the enormous expenditures are handled, l have spent some days in going through the various bureaus. The department is wide open and there is no trouble in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-05-12

During the same year almost mil. lion pounds of material was saved in making castings gom scrap. and some thing like s200. DO was saved upon coal The navy has been making money by buying it's hemp for it's rope in the Philippines and using the naval col- Hers to carry 1t home. It buys its shellac from Calcutta and makes thou sands of dollars year over what the same would cost in this country.
 The navy saves good deal on doing ing the soldiers. It has its own cioth- ing the soldiers. It has its own clath- ing factories, and it is through them that it has been able to keep it's m an supplied, notwithstanding the enormous demands of the war. The prewar plans called for clothing for S0.00O men, but, as soon as war was declared, outfits dor 100000 were needed The clothing factory at Charleston was then put on double shift basis It was increased in size and the great factory recently established at New York was strained to it's utmost Ad- ditional clothing was gotten from out side sources, and the whole was so speeded up that there has been prac- tically no shortage whatever Between April 1 and December IS last about .000 blankets were issued and 30 900 more blankets were ready. Among the other items on hand were 800, 900 pairs of cotton socks, $50, 900 cotton under shirts and hundreds of thousands of woolen socks and heavy clothing of one kind or another. The navy has been
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-05-12

delivering its clothes fright along. It had 100000 enlisted men to outfit last year and the articles needed ran into the hundreds of thousands and there are thousands more under contract The idea now is 10 keep on hand at the navy yards a six-month supply of cloths for all of the ships and in addition 100000 complete outfits.
 And then the food. It has been often said that our navy is better fed than any other that sails the seas. Never theless the cost of the feeding in these times of war has increased much less than the cost of food prices in the markets on shore. Tn 1916 the average ration was 31.6 cents and last year it rose to little more than cents high CT. It is now under 50 cents. If the in- crease in the cost of the ration had been proportionate with the increase in the cost of food, we would have had to pay s1,500, 900 more to feed the navy than we actually did. That means saving of moro than S4000 a day, and this was accomplished by prohibiting the purchase of patent and proprietary foods, by making such things as pies, cakes and ice cream on board ship and by watching the leaks in every possi- b1e way. Matters of this kind are fig- ured out to the one-tenth of a cent and even before tho saving of half cent on a meal meant more than 5000 day year in and year out. That saving was made in 1916 Nevertheless, the surgeon general says the navy is the best fed body of men in the world. Copyrighted, 1918 by Frank G. Car

It Can't be Donel BUT HERE IT IS!

The department I refer to is that of the United States navy. When the war Began most of the branches of Uncle Sans big machine were so tied up with red tape that the wheels could move only so fast and no faster. The wheels 0f the navy began to buzz as soon as the power was turned on, and they whizzed on like dynamo as more power \ was demanded. According to the report of the subcommittee on commerce of the 1,fiouse of Representative, which has been Investigating the subj sct, the American navy stands without parallel in efficiency, and its system, organized in the time sof peace, is working equally well in these times of war. Tsis report states tssat the s0o,oO0 men aad HOO ships now in the service are as promptly and as well provided for as wers the $, 900 men and the 300 ships which we had before the war began. 1t says ibat the navy is -adeuuately clothed, fed and equipped, and that the vast appropriations made are being economically and wisely spent It tells Congress that all is well with the fleet and that the 1918 destroyers will be built in from one-third to one half the time prescribed by pre-war con- ditions
 Indeed, I doubt if more compliment tary report concerning government de- partment has ever been made by any con- gressional Investigating committee and on the heels of it the committee on naval affairs asks for an appropriation for the navy of S1, 325, GOO 900 to be spent during the next fiscal year. Of this about sS0,- pGOo0 is for ammunition and $1sS,000 600 for aviation alone.

 Thirteen hundred and twenty-five mill l lion dollars to be spent in 12 months. That gives you some idea of the enor- nous growth of our maya. establishment.

This week Miss Martha Armstrong, the Hoover kitchen demonstrator. will show housewives how to put up strawberries for next winters consumption. If this warm weather continues there will be plenty of strawberries on the market right away and the conserving of them will be vital need.
 The methods of conserving are to be illustrated through canning, drying, pre- serving and jam making As the proc esses to be shown are all sugar con- serving methods of putting up the fruit, we hope the lessons will prove very profitable to Hoover households.

Army Wastes Little Food

 What is the hog tahle?'"
 had not noticed many signs of waste at mess halls among the western and southern camps Il had visited, but in order to be better prepared as a wit ness l looked through my photograph ing permits and picked out camp situate close enough to New York to be extravagant by nature. With ca mera for a disguise I invaded mess halls. Thus we arrived at the hog ta- ble."
 Sometimes" explained the sergeant, i've have left-overs of vegetables in small quantities. They are not useful in making other dishes, so we just pile them onto the regular rations of the few heavy eaters always to be found in a company. They do the rest"

 Then we got down to calories. The sergeant showed me an ordinary gall

 In another galvanized can and in a wash boiler, soup stock from meat bones simmered on the range. Mean while the butchers were trimming meat so precisely that hardly soup was left on the bones. They were, trimming 1t rieht and left, the meat into one pan went onto the range, that every drop of grease might be tried out of it.
