The News-Budget has been assured
that there has been no desire on the
part of the city council to evade the
law and do away with the publication
of the city council proceedings. Per
haps the NIB. may have been too
hasty, for it has only been eight
months since the last proceedings were
run.

The benefits of our food-saving
campaign that was vital factor In
the winning of the war were not all to
these we fed. We have at home new
appreciation Of food that will prevent
it ever being wasted again by those
that have come to understand the re-
ligion of saving and the place that
food occupies in our new, worldwide
human relations.

RIGID CONCENTRATION
 OF DIVISIONS NECESSARY

in the air. By the superiority of their airmen the Allied Armies are able to sweep all roads and railways in the enemy's rear with concentrated ar- tillery fire by day and night; while large squadrons of bombing air planes keep the German rest areas and billets perpetually under fire.
 Thus the German soldiers are kept in state of nervous tension, the ca sualties are heavy, and the extra work involved by the ever-increan- ing difficulties leads to the concen- tration being continuously delayed and hung up. Divisions suffer and lose their fighting value without ev- CT being launched against the en- emy.
 All these things together conspire to make the German concentrations difficult of accomplishment and more and more dependent upon the wealth CT, which alone can suspend the British and French aerial activity and hamper observation. Every day's delay in preventing a German concentration is of the utmost val ue to the Allies, who can prepare and strengthen positions, bring up re-inforcefents, construct roads and light railways, and generally make valuabale use of the time thus gain ed
 When the delay occurs between the phases of a big battle it is even more important; for experience goes to show that an arrested offensive that fails to- attaian its objects is little better than a real defeat.

TEACH
 BABIES TO PRAY
 FOR AMERICANS

"As soon as these babies learn their prayers, they shall be taught to pray for their far distant friends across the sea-"
 This is a line from an Italian newspaper, the Gazetta di Venizia, which recently printed a glowing de- scription of the work of relief that the American Red Cross has done in Italy. It tells how grateful the Ve- netians were when a milk station was opened in their quaint city by the Red Cross agents-how much it meant to them during their hour of suspense, anxiety, and peril, when the Austrians were laundering al- most at the city's gates, and when it was feared the city might be turn ed to ruins by enemy guns.
 The children of Venice were if dire need, as the milk supply was running low. The American Red Cross was enabled to procure a SUD- ply and rush it to the sorely beset city. In a few days the families which had deserted the city and be- come refugees returned to their homes; for the Austro- German ar mics were held along the line of the Piave.
 We are indeed deeply grateful tc our Ally America, who not only shows her spirit and sympathy by generous donations of money, but leaves no stone unturned through which to demonstrate the feeling ot sisterhood between the two nations concluded the article.

.SH0EMA AKER|S BADLY NEEDED
 BY SICILIANS
wANTED-A Shoe factory.


 X The remote little village of Cani- cAttini Pagni in the interior of Si- ely seems a queer place for a shoe factory, especially one belonging to American manufacturers, but there is factory of workers just waiting there who would be glad enough if somebody from Massachusetts should turn up and shatter the soft Italian air with a daily factory whis- tie.
 The Sicilians are mostly farmers and mostly poor but since the Ger mans drove into Italy. refugees from the north, accustomed to work in factories and little adapted to tilling the fields, have poured down into the little Sicilian villages where their presence creates a serious problem.
 The American Red Cross, which has extended it's cooperation to Ital- ian hospitals and refugee enterprises throughout the whole peninsula and Sicily, has discovered in Canicattini Pagni an American woman, Dr. L. M. Alfieri. who Is struggling with this problem. She opened a little hospital and distributed garments and food. The Red Cross has sent a trained nurse to help her and if some enterprising shoe maker would turn up to give up the refugees a chance to earn a living, the problems of Canicattini Pagni would be nearly solved.

FESTIVAL HELD WHEN TRAINS ARE
 AT ARCTIC CIRCLE

London, July 12.-On the trains running northward across North Russia, the crossing of the Arctic Circle is made the occasion for fes- tival similar to that which tourists used to enjoy on shipboard when crossing the Equator. The train makes a stop of several hours in the midst of a snow-covered waste on the shores of the White Sea. The passengers stretch their legs and take surface of the White Sea while picnic dinner is being prepared.
 The exact spot where the railroad crosses the Circle is probably not determined with scientific accuracy, but the men who built the railroad apparently agreed on an approxi- mate location, and this is marked with a suitable inscription. At this point also the railroad builders have left a slight gap, probably not more than a quarter of an inch, between the rails, so that, as passengers of ten notice, when the train passes over the Circle, there is a distinct jolt and jar"
 The American Red Cross Mission to Rumania began to prepare for the festival of "the Arctic Circle Crossing several days in advance. The event was celebrated with dinner of Lap land turkey and wild cranberries, with an entree of roast reindeer. The turkeys were secured a few days pre- vious1y by Colonel Henry W. An derson, the Commanding Officer of the American Unit, who stopped the train for an afternoon in order to launch game-hunting expedition along the southern shores of the fro zen White Sea.
 The evening was marked by a par ticularly brilliant display of the Au- rora Borealis or Northern Lights which. most of the members of the party witnessed for the first time. The aurora appeared at dusk and H. luminated the sky in fantastic streaks and circles across the whole northern horizon.
 It was on this day also that a southward bound train passed, bear

MAY EMULATE EXAMPLE SET
 BY PRESIDENT
Raising Of Sheep in Parks and Lawns of Country
 Profitable.

When a flock of sheep appeared not long ago on the green sward or the White House grounds, desire to match the President" in helping to increase the country's mutton and wool supply was manifested by many persons whose responsibility covered big lawns, golf courses and city parks. Some of them began to ask questions of the Department of Agri- culture.
 In the opinion of officials of that department, which is charged with the stimulation of the sheep industry many public parks, golf courses, and private lawns in the country may be so situated that they can profitably be made to serve as grazing grounds for sheep. It is believed that their use for grazing sheep would have not only a sentimental value but practical one. But owners and per sons charged with the care Of such property are advised to investigate the matter thoroughly before they embark in the enterprise of raising sheep. Sheep raising involves much more than placing the3 animals III good pasture, the specialists explain. It has its technical side, and at pres ent, when every pound of wool and every pound of meat is needed, it is felt that experience bought at the price of either wool or meat would be too costly. The Animal Husband ry Division of the department will answer requests for information from persons who desire to raise sheep, and has a number of publications on the subject available for free distri- button.
 Sheep now cost approximately three times as much as in normal times. Good commercial sheep at present sell for from $16 to $20 a head.
 In any sheep enterprise provision must be made for the guarding or fencing in of the flock, for not only are the animals prone to stray from home pastures, but they are favor ed prey for dogs which annual inflict great losses on the industry. Win ter care must be provided for, and feed and sheltered quarters must be available in cold weather. Persons who desire to raise sheep are advis- ed to enter the industry with a view of staying for several years at least The gross annual returns from the ewes of breeding age may be ex- pected to range from SS to $15 g head, depending upon the percentage of lambs raised, the weight of the fleece and the value of these pro- ducts. The fleece from one sheer averages to pounds and Is now selling for from 50 to 65 cents a pound. The ewes with good man. agement will each raise lamb. The lambs at 5 months will weigh ap- proximately 60 pounds and will be worth 15 cents a. pound and over The useful life of a sheep is abou six years.
 Flocks of sheep have been main tained in public parks in New Yorl and Boston, and flock once wa grazed on the grounds around tn, Washington Monument in the Gap ital. The use of sheep in lawns ant parks has been extensive in England The labor saving value of sheep i important, for they are neat and eff fective grass cutters. Sometimes too, they eat shrubbery, and flow CTS, but this danger can be met b, watchful shepherd or other safe guards.

Behind the British Lines in France, July 12.---(Correspondence of The As sociated Press. )---Tfie task of concen- trating divisions for a modern battle on the western front is by no means an easy one, tor it is naturally the enemy's chief concern to prevent such a movement from being successfully and easily accomplished.
 Rapid concentrations are essential or else the all-important element of surprise is lost, and rapidity depends largely upon the skillful use of rail- ways already overburdened with the normal demands of the troops in the assault area. For this reason the enemy's long-range fire, as well as a considerable proportion of his bomb ing airplanes, are concentrated upon the railroads in the back areas.
 Under normal conditions, the ordi- nary straight railway line is not>spar- ticularly vulnerable. Being so narrow 1t is a difficult target to hit. The curves of railroad are, however, much more important. The destruc- tion of section of rail on a curve means more trouble than the destruc- tion of half a dozen sections on the straight.
 Sidings, railway stations, and places where there is a network of rails, and where there are joints, functions and other special types of rail, are even more important than curves, for dam age done at vital center may com pletely delay traffic for many hours. Such rail centers behind the German lines are subjected by the British to form of time bombardment" so de- vised that all repairs have to be car ried out under the most harassing conditions; and not an hour passes without shells or bombs bursting in the affected area.
 An important result of this concen- tration against the rail centers is that troops cannot be massed for an at- tack without undergoing & certain amount of morale-shaking experiences first. There is no peace for them by day or by night. Under these condi- tions the troops are stale before the attack is launched.
 As this 1ong-range bombardment is controlled chiefly by airplane obser- vation, an enormous advantage lies l with that side which is predominant

place the state conventions have been held and the reunion always has been scheduled to come just before the convention. There is also scant in- terest in the affair this year, owing to the pre-occupation with other matters of those who would normally be con cerned with the reunion. Speaker Frank E. Healy of the last session. who would be in charge of the ar. engagements for a reunion, is busy with the revision of the statutes. Major John Buckley, treasurer of the conn mittee, is in the very thick of the intricacies of the draft and can hardly be expected to worry about reunions. Edward J. Kenealy, clerk of the last House, will probably be unable to at- tend to his duties as secretary of the reunion committee.

MOTHS IN UPHOLSTERY.

Moths do not like benzine or gaso- line and will avoid coming into con- tact with them. So a wise thing to do is to spray your upholstered fur niture with either, using a small atomizer. If the color has already been removed by the salt it is inn possible to bring it back and redying is the only solution. You cannot re- store the color by either ammonia or chloroform. These will only result in removing more of the color.

Monograph Needles
 Helping To Win War

Monograph needles-the loud ones are needed to help win the war. They are needed to spread the strains of American music especially the rag time and jazz tunes which are the delight of the poilus in the canteens of the American Red Cross
