 Among the American forces sent overseas. 1t is pointed out in the re- port, are twelve commissioned off cers and about 1000 soldiers and sailors who were oncc wards of the Cnildren's Aid society. All Were res cued from the streets or from asylums and corrective institutions.
 The society. since is foundation on phans and deserted children in good homes in the country where many of Sl.472 older boys and girls have been have been put on their feet and, be coming owners of ranches, have shown their appreciation in later years by taking orphans into their own homes.
 It has been estimated that the cost of salyaXing a child from the streets. according to the plan of the society, is $50 which not only defrays the cost of placing the youngster in q comfortable country home but pro vides for supervision so long as it is necessary. The society keeps in touch with the boys or girls thus sent out and has on file thousands Of grateful letters written by them after they have grown to manhod and woman hood
 An instance of this gratitude was afforded in the report for 1918 of Edwin G. Merrill, treasurer of the society. who acknowledged bequest of 5000 from the estate of Dr. Michael A. Jordan, a physician and educator of Logansport, Indiana. Dr Jordan many years ago was friend less orphan in New York city and was befriended by the Children's Aid so ciety. Many similar legacies from former wards have been left to the organization in the past.

The company will have good start in possessing the boats buildings and equipment of the old company but money will be needed to buy additional machinery and equipment.

 The new company has taken the Ohm Fish and Packing Company and will the boats gear buildings and other equipment of the latter company.
 Gus Ohm, V. J. Swanberg and William H. King are the organizers of the company.
 Everyone in Cordova knows of Gus Ohm He started at Cordova with dory and fshed for the local market By using sound business methods he propered and had number of other fishermen working for him. Bus of the city became interested and he was given capital to operate large scale and finally the Ohm Fish and Packing Company formed with him at its head.
 Now MT. Ohm is convinced that although he has made of the company there is money to be made in salmon cannery than in fish packing and with the two who have been closely identified with him in the Ohm Fish and Packing Company he has de- cded to take the latter plant and turn it into salmon cannery
 But to do this will require large of money

Piping Oil to Ships at Sea.

Great oil regions lie to the west Of
TuxpaT, which Mexico city, in conse-
Quence, has become a most convenient
point for exporting oil. However,
there are neither docking nor harbor
facilities, because Of an immense sand
bar which effectually prevents ocean
going vessels from approaching the
city much nearer than a mile.
To overcome this difficulty the oil
companies devised novel method of
loading OIL Long pipe lines were run
out under tie sea and over the sand
bar. To the outer ends of these lines
flexible elbow joints were attached.
Nipples on the upturned ends of the
elbow joints were provided for the at
tachment of rubber or other hose,
leading from the pipe lines to the sur
face, their position being plainly indi-
Gated by large buoys.
In loading oil, vessels simply rice at
anchor in the open roadstead, pick up
one of the buoys with hose attached,

take on oil at ther ate of 1.7OO barrels

Of the value OF time the peace treaty

Now that the state Of Vermont has
gone into the automobile business, it
may expect to have no slight worries;
but it seems that action on that line
was really forced upon the state in or
der that the trucks which the federal
government had loaned the state for
use in constructing highways might be
housed and otherwise properly taken
care of. The selection of site be-
tween Barre and Montpelier for the
erection of storage accommodations
and Of garage was well made; and
the location should make it possible
for reasonably easy collection Of the
machines and distribution of them dur
ing the operating season, The site is
also near one of the chief sources Of
material for road construction, that is,
near the great granite industry, where
there is vast quantity Of waste gran
lite available.

A Nation of Bad Eyes and Teeth.

When the war department announced
some time ago that "a out Of every
100 men called out for service during
the war were physically unfit for full
military duty, there were expressions
Of amazement on every hand. We had
no idea, before the war, that our
shrinkage in man-power would prove
so great. But now that more detailed
figures are at hand it is encouraging
to find that the situation was not real
ly so bad as the first announcement
indicated it to be.
BY far the greater proportion of the
men rejected, it now appears, were not
turned away because Of deficient height
or weight or general bodily defects
Weak eyes and bad teeth accounted for
the great bulk of the reflections. De-
fective eyesight proved the obstacle to
service on the part of more than one
fifth of all the men examined. TWEEN
ty-two men out of every hundred, to
be exact, were rejected because they
could not satisfy the army oculists
And bad teeth served to preclude the
acceptance Of eight more out Of every
100 draftees. These two factors, &C.
cordingly, served to eliminate 30 per
cent of all the drafted men. Only four
men in every hundred were rejected
for all other reasons combined.
Now, the lesson of all this is plain
enough. AS nation we have been far
too negleetful of minor bodily Ills. A
large proportion of the troubles en-.
eountered by the army ocuhsts and
dentists can be directly traced to indi,
vidual neglect. No man by taking
thought can add cubit to his stature,
or replace a missing limb; but even a
reasonable measure Of care and atten-
ton viii get a mans eyes and teeth
into passable shape. The srmy's dc.
mands in this respect were not very
rigid. Slight defects in eyesight, II
corrected by glasses, did not debar
anybody. And flour occluding molars"
enabled any one to satisfy the dental
requirement. Yet nearly one third Of
our population, judged by our expert.
ence during the war, cannot measure
UP to the ordinary demands. That is
enough to indicate the urgent necessity
OF continuing and expanding the ma
chinery which we now have for the
physical inspection Of the children Of

King Albert of the Belgians, who,
with the other members of the royal
house, departed from the United States
last week after tour from one end of
the continent to the other, left very
favorable impression among the people
with whom he was brought in contact,
He demonstrated that he was not only
a very democratic man but very like
able parsonage as well-two qualities
which are not always found among
members of the so-called reigning
houses of the monarchies of Europe
There is no doubt, too, that the rela-
tons between the governments of the
United States and Belgium and be-
tween the peoples of the two countries
are much more strongly cemented than
they were prior to that visit, albeit
the governments and the peoples had
been brought together in quite close
and friendly connections through the

Herbert Hoover says that American
hoarders Of food products are having a
harder time disposing of their goods in
European markets than they had ex-
klected. On that difficulty, if not in
{urmountable obstacle, he looks for a
falling" of prices in the United States.
There may be some relief between now
and the next spring from that source /;
but the most likely agency toward
knocking the prices down will be a
concerted effort on the part of the pub
lie to raise as many products, and as
much of each, as they can next sum
mer. A record breaking product is the
only thing which win bring prices
down to something like their former
level; and after next summer the ma
tions which are now bidding for Amer
lean food may be expected to take care
of themselves better than they have
done for the past five years.

HOW LARGE AN ARMY DO WE
NEED?

AfItlSAF
When it comes to decision between
two opinions, the public will be more
likely to accept that Of Gen. Pershing
regarding the size of the army needed
by the United States rather than Sec.
Bakers; and the choice will be deter
mined partially from the knowledge
that Gen. Pershing has been military
man practically all his life and was,
furthermore, leader Of the American
forces in the recent war and was thus
in position to size up more accurately
the military situation Of the world, be-
sides getting the drift Of opinion Of the
military leaders of the other nations.
Pershing would have standing army
slightly larger than one-half of the
size recommended by Sec. Baker, that
standing army to be backed up by a
citizen reserve. If the citizen reserve
is taken to mean a military organiza-
ton similar to the old national guard,
there viii be the greater reason for
supporting the Pershing position be-
cause of the belief that the, national
guard furnished one of the most splen-
did military assets of the United
States in the world war. The national
guard was ready within comparative
" short time to follow the first con.
tingents Of the regular army across the
ocean and it served most creditably.
Pershing's opinion is likely to be sup
ported vigorously.

Continued acquisition Of forest land
in New Hampshire by the United
States government is one Of the rea-
sons why the brooks and the rivers will
continue to run with their usual vol
nme. The forests make the watersheds
for the brooks, and when the trees are
cut off the fountain heads of the brooks
are cut off. 1t is, therefore, quite i'm
perative that someone should take the
steps necessary to protect some of the
more important watersheds.
