Suggestion Is Made that Sammy

Why not give as a souvenir the
Bible upon which each recruit is
sworn at the time OF taking the
oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam
when he enlists in either the army,
navy or United States Marine
Corps?
It's a beautiful sentiment. and no
mistake, according to the views of
Lieut.. Harry e. Middleton. the Of
ficer in chage of the main recruiting

experience with the idea. Incident

carrying it into execution on a large
scale.
when l was stationed at Roa-
noke. Va. just before being trans

yesterday, "a local society leader of
that city came to me with the
proposition that IL b would present
each recruit with the Bible upon
which he was sworn for enlistment,
she would see that 1 was well sup
piled with the books.
81 could conceive of no objection
in doing so. hence concurred with
the .and the originator
of the idea thereupon interested
herself among her social acQuaint-
ances. with the result that up to

newly enlisted man was given the
Bible as "a souvenir.

you learn what a wonderful effect

upon the men. 1 have received let

suit here"
Here is a chance for some local
social organization to take the mat

out along the lines suggested by
Lieut.. Middleton. The Washington

BELGIAN SOLDIERS
HAVE UNIVERSITY
Educational Advantages Provided
for Fighters on Battle Front.

Senator Henri La Fontaine, winner
of the Noble Peace Prize in 1912, and
at present head of the fund OF Gifts
for Belgian Soldiers" authorizes the
following:
I'VE have just been advised from
Belgium that a university has been
established at the front. The men
have settled down to a long pull. and
the younger men are preparing them
selves for work OF restoring Belgium
after the war.
The university has been started
at --. At first, some difficulty was
encountered In establishing a physical
plant: but now the building Is equip
ped with heating system and electric
light. For the time being, the courses
will be confined to law, philosophy,
poetry and rhetoric.
M. Poullet, Belgian minister OF art
and science. and Lieut.. Gen. Bibuyck
are especially interested in the uni
versity which already has 200 STU
dents.
Our fund for Gifts for Belgian Sol
diers,' for which the Guaranty Trust
Company, Of New York, has consented
to act as depository, will be able to
assist the university. as this fund does
the same kind of work among Belgian
soldiers that the American camp COM
munity fund does among American
soldiers. We endeavor to supply those
comforts to the soldiers which do so
much for maintaing their morale.
For the most part the things we sup
ply are those beyond the reach of the
soldiers with their meagre income of
10 cents a day allowed them by the
state"

SURGICAL DRESSINGS
Army to Furnish Materials for Red
Cross Workers.

The American Red Cross is sending
large orders to its chapters through
out the country for surgical dressings
for the United States army medical
services. The makeup of the dressings
will conform to army specifications,
but those who have been working on
the Red Cross standard dressings will
have little difficulty in following the
army directions. 1t is the intention
of the army authorities to turn over
to the Red Cross the material, such
as gauze and cotton. required to make
the dressings definitely asked for by
the Medical Corps. The Red Cross
chapters will in turn have the beneht
of this arrangement.
The productive capacity OF the Red
Cross workrooms throughout the
country has been steadily increasing.
and with much of the work practically
under army direction. the Red Cross
will be even more helpful to the Medi-
cal service than in the past

GERMAN DYES
now MADE In
UNITED STATES
American Firms Licensed
to Manufacture Under
Enemy-Owned Patents.

Manufacture of German dyes by
American companies has already been
begun. The dye famine. which has
existed since 1914, will be relieved.
The Federal Trade Commission an
nounced yesterday the first issuance
Of licenses under German dye patents.
Proper formulas have been arrived at
after long months Of experiments for
in practically all instances Teutonic
firms had given insufficient descrip-
tions and it was almost impossible to
determine the correct formulas.
In some cases where attempts were
made to combine ingredients ex-
plosions occurred, and failures were
numerous. In other cases the for
mulas worked out satisfactorily In "a
bratory tests. but failed when COM
mercfaf production was attempted.
Many Licenses Issued.
The Commission has granted
twenty-five applications of the E.
1. du Pont de Nemours and Com
pany. of Wilmington, Del. and
eight made by the National Aniline
and Chemical Company. of Buffalo,
N. Y. Chemists of these firms,
working in conjunction with the
Trading with the Enemy Division
of the Trade Commission. are re-
sponsible for the successful deter
mination of the proper combinations
to make particular dyes or groups
OF dyes.
When proper combinations were
established further experimentation
was necessary to discover which
patented formula or formalae to
follow in order to introduce the
dyes into fabrics.
The licenses for American use of
the enemy patents are for the en-
tire life of the patent instead of
only for the duration of the war in
practically every instance.
Drug Permits Granted.
Additional licenses to American
firms to manufacture drugs under en-
emy patents have also been issued by
the commission. Permission has been
granted to the Antoine Chris Com
pany, New York, to manufacture bar
bital," the Calico Chemical Company
to manufacture ''pro-caine," and the
Diarsenol Chemical Company, Buff
falo, to manufacture salvarsan.
First licenses for the manufacture
of "neoarsDhenamine," or neo-salvar-
san, under an enemy patent, have been
granted to the Farbwerke Hoechst
Company. New York; the Takamine
Laboratory Company, New York: the
Diarsenol Chemical Company, Buffalo,
and the Dermatological Research Lab
oratories, Of Philadelphia.

FIXES RULES
FOR CONTROL
OF OILSALES
President Wilson Announ,
I ces New Priority List
Governing Industry.

President Wilson yesterday, an
nouncing that the shortage of fuel
oil made 1t necessary to take steps
for better regulation for war pur-
poses, promulgated revised rules
governing its distribution in all
localities east of the Rocky Noun
tains.
By proclamation Of January 81,
manufacturers and distributors whose
gross sales aggregated more than
100000 barrels a year, were required
to obtain licenses from the Fuel Ad-
ministration. The new regulations
now control these licenses. Revision
Of the rules was required because
under former provisions 1t was found
that distributors controlling only q
small supply OF fuel oil were unable
to meet the requirements of all their
customers, while those of large sup
plies were able to meet needs Of all
consumers on the priority list.
Smaller distributors suffered and
! many essential Industries suffered.
Under the new scheme, IL a disrri-
butor is unable to meet the require
ments. the Fuel Administrator may
require another distributor to meet
the demand before he is allowed to
supply his own customers who are
not on the preferred list.
War Industries Favored.
ii
specified, and manufacturers and dis
tributors are required to give prioroty
IN the following order:
Railroads. bunker fuel and
oil rehneries using or making fuel
oil.
2-Export deliveries or shipments
for the United States army or navy.
3-Bxport shipments for the ma
vies and othre war purposes Of the
allies.
4-Hospitals where oil is now be-
ing used as fuel.
5-Public utilities and domestic
consumers now using fuel oil, in
cluding gas oil.
6-Shipyards engaged In govern
ment work.
Navy yards.
S-Arsenals.
9-Plants engaged in manufac-
ture, production and storage of food
products.
lo-Army and navy cantonments
where oil is now being used as
fuel
ll-Industrial consumers engaged
in the manufacture of munition and
other articles under government
orders.
12-All other classes.
Deliveries must be made in con-
formity with this list regardless of
any existing contracts between Ii
censes and consumers in other
classes. After the requirements of
consumers entitled to priority are
satisfied. licenses must carry out
their contracts for other deliveries
to the extent of their supplies.

lowed by late beans; sweet corn, fol-
lowed by turnips, late peas, spinach;
melons and squash, followed by tur-
nips.
1t is not advisable to have a second
planting of the same crop or a closely
related crop follow the first. Cab
bage should not follow cabbage, cauli.
flower, Brussels sprouts, mustard OF
kale, for many of the same plant dis.
eases and insects affect all of these
crops.
Tomatoes, eggplants and peppers
should not follow each other, for the
same reason.
When in doubt, plant a root crop
to follow a foliage crop, and peas and
beans may follow any other crops.
This changing of crops is called ro-
tation. Never plant the same vege-
table In the same spot in your garden
two years in succession, and if II
happened that an insect or disease
seriously threatened a vegetable In
your garden last year It will be well
to pass it up entirely this year and
plant something else in its stead.
Starve out the disease germs or in
sects which may be hiding in your
ground.
