THROWS AWAY
LESS FOOD
Chicago Claims to Lead All Other
Cities in Question of Food
Economics OF
Nation.
TBy United Press.1

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Chicago
is the most economical on food
among the nations big cities.
Chicago throws away less food,
cuts her potato Feelings most thinly
and consumes crusts Of bread that
make rosy cheeks
This is Indicated by survey or
garbage collection made by the Pitts
burgh sanitary commission, whose
figures are used by the government
experts in directing national cam
paigns for waste elimination.
Washington, the survey shows, is
the most prodigal, since her munich
pal garbage pail each year contains
i243 pounds of discarded food per in
habitant. Cleveland, with a discard
of 166 pounds per person, is in the
wasteful class New York, despite
it's title as the big spending town,
discards only 157 pounds per person.
Chicago discards but eighty pounds
per person.
Municipal garbage pals of some
other big cities contain: Baltimore,
I'll pounds per person; Cincinnati,
293 pounds; Pittsburgh, 2S6, and
Kansas City, 299.
Chicago also leads other cities in
low costs on garbage collection. She
pays but thirteen cents per capita

gets the work done for seventeen

more from sale Of products made
from the garbage, since her income
from this is $500 per ton, while that
of Chicago is but $4.24.
Cevelands high income from re-
duction products puts her ahead of

net cost of collection, plus disposal.
Cleveland's net cost is S1.54 ton,
while that Of Chicago is sara.
Experts say Cleveland would be
far in the lead If she could reduce

practical joker is not tolerated, bat
there are scores of traditional Marine
pranks which make the life better
than vaudeville.
If at first a new recruit is not In
clined to play or takes life too serious
ly, he soon learns the real spirit OF
play In the games taught with the
Swedish exercises.
Stingcree
Stingeree is the name of a sea-going
turtle which has a powerful tail, which
he uses most effectively as a stingor.
The Marines have a caveman game of
the most primitive sort which they
call "stingeree." Whether the turtles
play the game or not is unknown, but
the game is all that its name implies.
The men face the center of a large
circle, bend over with eyes closed,
placing their hands behind them with
the palms upward and open. One
man walks on the outside of the circle
with a piece Of heavy rope which he
drops In the outstretched palm of a
member of the circle. Instantly the
latter turns whipping the u~nsuspecting

around the circle to his original place.
In the meantime If his pursuer can
keep up with him he beats him with
the rope to his hearts content. The
rope is dropped into some other bud
dies hand and so the game PUSHES on.
1t is full of pep. All Marine games
are. None of them, in fact, would be
appropriate at an afternoon tea.
Monkey Race A Killer
The monkey race is a favorite, too.
About thirty men line up some fifty
yards apart and facing each other.
Then the entire number Is divided so
that fifteen men in each team face
the other fifteen OF the same team.
The first man on each team races on
his hands and feet like a monkey or
dog, carrying a handkerchief to the
man opposite him who lopes back as
