Exhaust Steam.

More attention than ever before is

Of exhaust steam in power plants. It
may be applied to innumerable pur-
poses, such as heating feed water for

NUMBER SYSTEM IS
ADOPTED BY ARMY

The government has adopted a new
system of numbering men in the
army in order to secure prompt and
accurate Identification. A serial
number is assigned to each man, which
will become part of his official desig-
nation. 1t will never be changed and
never assigned to another soldier.
Care is also taken not to give consecu-
tive numbers to men Of the same sur
name.

The merciful man is merciful to his

INFORM HEADQUARTERS OF

All chapters, branches and auxili-

to the division office, at once, any
changes in their officers that have
occurred recently. If the organiza-

in the future, much confusion will be

their part, not as task, but as 8

I'VE need have no recourse to rhet-

simply stated, but Of supreme i'm.

our liberty is in jeopardy. Autocracy
challenges our sacred rights.
I'VE count it our most sacred duty
to win safety for our freedom and oul

states and territories with such laws;
adoption by the nation Of the soldiers

by New York and other states of

LAUNCHES 'SAFETY-FIRST
CAMPAIGN ON ROADS
Hiram W. Belnap, Newly Ap-
pointed Official, Plans to Reach
Every Employe.

NEW YORK, September Hiram
w. Belnap. newly appointed manager
Of the safety section Of the United
States Railroad Administration. or
ganized by Director General McAdoo.
has launched a safety first" campaign
designed to reach every railroad en-
ploye in the nation.
In an appeal to employees for active
and sympathetic cooperation" Mr..
Belnap said it was the aim Of the
new section by preventing accidents
to match the wonderful reclamation
work of scientific men and the Red
Cross in this war, whose records now
show deaths Of only -2h per cent of
wounded soldiers"
Existing safety organizations Of
various lines are to be utilized in the
campaign and new organizations will
be created on lines where safety work
has not been developed efficiently.
Pointing out that "one railroad en-
ploye is either killed or injured every
three minutes during the entire year.
Mr.. Belnap appealed to all employees
to suggest methods to avoid accidents
as well as to avoid dangerous prac-
tees which, he says, are responsible
for many accidents.
The appointment Of Rufus s. Jar
nagin of New York as safety super
visor of the eastern region was an
nounced last night. Other regional
supervisors will be appointed soon.
