WITH ii u NDREDS OF MEN
LEARNING TO FLY ACCIDENTS
ARE FEW.

Records of the War Department
show that from the beginning of train
ing in June, 1917, to February %,
1918, the fatalities at military aviation
fields in this country have been 81; 10
officers and 80 cadets killed in train
ing flights, and II men killed in UNI
authorized flights and ground acct
dents.
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviators have
flown considerably more than 100000
miles. Hundreds of hitherto inexper-
fenced men have been learning to fly.
Their early flights are under the
guidance Of instructors, and prior to
these flights two or more months are
spent in preliminary ground work
There comes time, however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.

Gen. Pershing has requested ship.

FOOD AND FUEL SUPPLIES ARE
SHORT IN MANY EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES

A Swiss commercial paper states
that there is great shortage of coal
of all kinds, an insufficient supply Of
wood for fuel, and small reserves in
oils and grease throughout Switzer-
land. Fresh eggs have disappeared
from the market Dry vegetables are
becoming more scarce, A project to
manufacture -four from potatoes had
to be abandoned because sufficient sup
plies Of potatoes could not be secured.
In Holland coal and coke prices have
been advanced. In American terms,
the maximum price for anthracite is
about S22 ton; coke, $40 ton; coal
briquets, SIS ton. Distribution is
carefully regulated by cards, in speci-
fled quantities. The amount allowed,
especially to residences, is much small
Ter than in peace times.
New French food regulations forbid
eating houses to serve or consume
fresh or packed butter otherwise than
in the preparation of food. Curdled or
sour milk is prohibited as well as
cream and specified kinds of cheese.
The making of pastries, biscuits, and
confectionery is prohibited. Only in
dining cars, canteens, and railroad re-
freshmen stations may fresh or con
densed milk or cream be served after
9 in the morning, by itself or mixed
with coffee, tea, or other preparation
No solid foods may be served between
9 and II in the morning and between
4:30 and $50 in the evening. When
the price Of meal exceeds sl20 the |
customer may be served with not more
than two dishes with or without veg
etables, or more than one small loaf
of ordinary bread The bread is linn
tied to about 3ls ounces. All grain
which may be used for making bread
is reserved for human food.

Though she said she wouldn't touch

MEN AT ALL CAMPS RECEIVE IN.
STRUCTION IN GAS DEFENSE

At each cantonment in the United
States school has been established
where every officer and man receives
instruction in gas defense. The Amer
lean gas mask, similar to the British,
is as mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able TO produce.
The face piece, with glass or celluloid
eyepieccs, is connected by a flexible
tube with a canister carried in KNAPP
sack. The incoming breath comes
through the canister, which is filled
with several layers of chemicals which
neutralize or render harmless the gas
laden air Outgoing breath passes
outside the face piece through small
valve.
The student in gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on in hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the
mask is hanging at his chest in the
alert position. After intensive train
ing gas attack is arranged The
class is put in trenches and without
warning, clouds of smoke and chlorine
are liberated by the instructors, masks
are hurriedly put on, alarms sounded,
and sleeping men in dugouts aroused.
When the attack ceases the trenches
are cleared of gas, the air is tested,
and permission is given to remove the
masks.

Sometimes men do things out Of
selfshness rather than out OF kind
ness. Recently club woman told this
story:
An old couple came In from the
country with a big basket Of lunch TO
see the circus.
The lunch was heavy. The old wife
was carrying H. Az they crossed .

his hand and Eald;
Gimme that basket. Hannah.
THE poor old woman surrendered
the basket with grateful look
That's real kind O. ye. joshua

PRODUCTION or RIFLES AND
AMMUNITION MEETS ALL RE
QIIRFMENTs.

Rife and cartridge production in th'
United States has developed In volume
and in quality on a scale assuring tho
sa,ikfactory cquipuen, Of the Army
according 10 a statement authorized
by the Secretary Of War.
To achieve the rife and ammunition
production program the Government,
has expended or has obligated itself
TO erpcnd. during 10 months Of war,
s4o0. 900 900. and 200 officers. 10000
men, and 10000 women have been en-
gagged exclusively in the manufacture
Of rifles and cartridges Two Govern
ment plants and three privately owned
plants are engaged in making rifles
and one Government plant and nine
privately owned plants are engaged in
cartridge manufacture. Ordnance ex-
pcrts in this country and in Europe
are in agreement tina the United
States Army is being equipped with
two Of the best three rifles in the
world.
The Fuel Administration is carry
ing on series Of conferences cover
ing all industries which use large
quantities OF fuel, with view TO
learning the requirements Of each line
during 1918. The industries them
selves are playing a leading part in
these discussions. The aim of the
Fuel Administration is TO arrive at a
percentage Of production which, under
the circumstances, will be satisfactory
to the manufacturers and their work
men, but which will not represent a
consumption Of fuel for the manufac
ture Of supplies not needed during the
current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use Of fuel for the pro-
duction Of window glass to so per cent
Of the amount manufactured in 1917
is the result of one Of these confer
ences. A survey Of the field indicated
that while not more than 100000
boxes Of window glass would be used
in 1918, competitive conditions were
likely TO result in an overmanufacture
Of at least 100000 boxes.
1t is through this system Of limita-
ton, together with large economy in
the method of using fuel, that the Fuel
Administration expects to supplement
the production OF coal this year. 1t is
hoped, as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that it will be possible
to mine and transport larger guam
tity Of coal this year than last, but it
is through these methods of reducing
consumption that a repetition of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.
