Director, Red Cross Institute for Grip

Motor mechanics have proved a most
popular subject Of instruction for Grip
pied soldiers who are being retrained to
become self-supporting, self-respecting
workera In fact, the trade is almost too
popular, say directors of Canadian
schools in which hundreds OF disabled
soldiers are to-day being trained in new
occupations
Practically every Canadian soldier who
IS asked TO choose from among the va
rious trades in which classes are OPP
Grated selects automobile mechanics,
But most of tho men have TO be dts
suaded from their intention and are
turned into other channels of Industry.
Otherwise every crippled soldier in the
Dominion would be looking for a Job as
automobile mechanic after he had COM
pleted his course OF training and the sup
ply would far exceed the demand.
Canada. England. Germany and India
are among the belligerents that offer
training courses In motor mechanics to
the disabled men of their own forces. and

May Eat Meat to Conserve
Wheat, Except Tussdays

To all hotels. clubs, restaurants,
boarding houses and other pub
lie eating places
Owing to the increased demand
of our allies for bread stuffs and
the necessity for the further con-
Servation of wheat. you are au-
thorized to remove the restric.
tons against eating meat for all
meals on all days except Tues
days. In other words, beef, veal,
pork, lamb, and mutton may be
served in any form for all meals
for all days except Tuesdays.
when no beef or pork, or the pro-
ducts thereof. should be served.
Lamb and mutton may be served
for all meals on Tuesdays.
The supply of meat for the
next two or three months has
been considerably enlarged. The
transportation facilities for sup
plying meat to our allies are now
adequate. 1t is the purpose Of
the Food Administration to relax
the restrictions on meat consump-
ton to some extent to further in
crease bread consumption to meet
the allies demands. This order il
effective immediately.

Dear Mr.. Moberly:

successfully in my wake, even tc
the other side of the world.
have received two copies since ar
irving in Manila. Where the lit
tie paper was connecting link
with home while | was at Mare
Island, it has become a voice from
another world out here where all
is strange.
True to my expectations was
exactly thirty days enroute, with
twenty-five days of actual sail
ing. We had delightful time
while in HONOLULU. Were in port
long enough to enable us to see
everything of interest in the city
and much outside. During our
stay our diet consisted mainly OF
luscious pincapples, bananas and
cocoanuts.
After leaving Honolulu we
were eighteen days sailing to
Guam. The boat stopped there
three days to discharge stores for
the Marine and Naval Station.
There is one town, Aganja, that
is very pretty. The naval Off
GERS live here. The white popu-
lation consists entirely of service
men and their families.
On arriving at Manila we trans
ferred to Marine Barracks, Ca
vite. At present are doing Navy
Yard guard. Every post has some
historical reminder on it. The
post on top the magazine passes
by a large hole in the wal! of all
old Spanish church that was put
there by Dewey. OF course,
when walking this post we think
of the romance Of the place and
not of the one hundred tons of
nitro and gun cotton under our
feet. On still another post along
the sea wall are to be seen the
wrecks of two Spanish boats
oeached by the Spaniards during
the battle ofManila Bay.
The annual Philippine Carnival
IS now in full swing. 1t is the
,rand fiesta of all the islands.
You see every conceivable race
there coming and going. Life in
his land is easy going, who or
what you are is not questioned.
What the future holds for us
S all conjecture. There is every
possibility of remaining here only
4 short time. Fifty men were
sent to Vladivostok, Siberia, las,

be needed to put through Colo
radios part in this very essential
and timely crusade. 1t is believed
that the state can bring success
to its avn etforts by the expen-
((sSiture af ahdAt &s,00O. The plan
as tentatively formed includes the
cure of every case in the army and
in the training camps; also the
spreading of printed warnings
against patent nostfums and other
literature on the subject. lsola'
ton of cases will he rcsorted to
and every possible manner IL
which infection could be spread
will be guarded against. The red
light districts of the larger cities
and towns will come in for a very
close watch and scrutiny. Wo-
men OF the underworld will also
be isolated in hospitals wherever
and whenever such course is re
gardcd as necessary to the success
of the whole campaign. Under
the statutes the state health dc
partmcnt has ample powers tc
carry the crusade to a successful
finish and the state council and
Governor Gunter are determined
that no legitimate expense SHOULD
he spared to save Colorado's sol
dicry from a present growing evil
