SCORES HOLDING OF MEAT
BY THE u. S. GOVERNMENT

Atlanta, Ga, 15-Referring to the
published report that the government
is holding meat to protect the pack
ers, Congressman W., d. Upshaw, Of
the Atlanta district. who leaves for
Washington tomorrow, issued the fol
Loving statement:
1t is nad ncough for the govern
meEt to have contracts with aUtOmo-
bile and truck builders which force
it to hold enormous quantities of war
implements or throw them into the
discard in order to protect the manu-
factu"er5 when these implements
tcuid be- used for roadbuilding pro-
jects all over America, but for the
government to bold a quarter-billiOn
pounds Of meat Il order to protect the
packers, when the whole country is
suffering from sky-high prices, is sim
ply unthinkable and the people are
not going to stand for it,
Every dollar of abnormal war prof
its in the pockets of any and all men
is stained with the blood of freedom
and | stand squarely by the masses in
demanding that the governments FIRST
duty is the protection of the people
and not the packers, who have already
made fabulous profits out of the war.
ii IS clearly a case of the packers or
the people, and am for the peopln."

NOT MULES EVERY
TIME TO GET OUT
WHEN STUCK IN MUD FOLLOW
USE SUGGESTIONS

A resourceful motoriat whose car
| has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to f2ll back on pair
CT mules to get free. For such an
emergency the United States Tire
Company offers some suggestions
that have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car stack
of old newspapers. When the car gets
stuck and the wheels refuse to take
hold, feed in some Of the old papers
between the tires and the mud. U.s.
ually only few will have to be work
ed in before the wheels will begin
to grip and. TIE car start forward.
This method if handling a difficult
situation is so simple and SO uniform
ly successful, that every motorist
should know of it and carry a pile
Of old newspapers, unless he is equip
ped with some other apparatus for
for such a contingency.
Here is the other method suggest
ed by the United States Tire Com
pany: Put the car in low, and if you
canont feed the gas with your foot
evenly, so that the wheels will re-
volye slowly, put your emergency
brake on. Do not put it on so that the
wheels will not revOlve at all but
tightly enough t2 keep them from
turning enough to keep them from
revolving rapidly With the wheels
turning slowly, the maximum pull is
delivered to them by having the car
in low gear, and so long as they turn
slowly they can get the benefit of the
tremendous power
1t is not always wise to fill the hole
with stones CT bricks, for their rough
edges are hard on tires. Small branch
eS of tree are better, as they offer
| much better tractive space. Should
this method fail, quite often slight
push that would not much more than
move a baby buggy will furnish just
the added amount of power neccs-
sary to get the car going.

CAMP BUILDING
GREAT WAR FEAT
TASK INVOLVED ERECTION AND
EQUIPMENT OF 80 CITIES

Washington, May, 14.-Even in
America the greatest builder of the
past" no feat of construction has
ever approached that involved in the
completion in 80 days of 16 canton
ments for the national army and 16
| tent cities for the national guards
says the official war 'materieP' his
| tory made public today by the War
| Department The task involved
the erection and equipment Of 81
cities capable of accommodating 40
600 persons each, with all the re-
quisite water, lighting, sewerage, hos
pital and heating utilities, and in ad-
dition the preparation of the strictly
military features, such as parade
grounds and rifle and artillery ranges.
The creature comforts enjoyed by
the American soldier of 1917 is con-
trasted with those afforded the man
J of '61--fS5 Substantial barracks,
place of tents; chemically pure water
replaced that secured from the casual
spring or stream; scientific laundries
cared for the national army recruits
clothing, and field bakeries gave him
the modern successor to the ashy
hoecake.
The race between the contractors
to complete the cantonments in the
time for the initial draft is eloquent
ly described, the builder of Camp Tay
lor, Louisville, KY, winning by mar
row margin. The cantonments oc-
cupied 167,741 acres of land, which
cost an average 1898 per acre. and
the contractors profits were given
as less than IL percent of the
gross cost of construction.
Expenditures for the cantonments
represented 20 percent of the total
for the Panama Canal, but the time
consumed was less than 80 days
against 10 years for the canal Sup
Elementary building projects under
taken by the department aggregated
much 'arger project than the can
tcEments in included enormous store
EuuSrs. f@Ciories for various PURPOSES,
proving grounds, army posts, en-
barkation facilities docks, magazines
railroads, aviation fields and hos
pitals.
"On November II, 1913" the -
port says, "the construction division
was conducting 535 operations in 442
localities, involving an expenditure
of $1,000, 100000. These touched every
state but one"
AS the construction crews develop
ed team remarkable instance OF
speed were reported. Precautions
taken to assist the contractors includ-
ed the detail Of a disbursting officer
on the spot with the check ready
SO that meterial could be paid nde-
IlNcly, anu oO JlldL opSCldl CuGlplllSul
could be obteanined at a fair rental
and a steady flow of building mater
ials be insured. The last feature fiji
ally uncessitated the sending of sol
diers into the forest to cut logs and
piles and to load them on railroad
cars which were guarded by soldiers
to t heir destination.

ened the health Of the new army, Of
ficers the result that the army "ob,

that number is years output of the

projects was so efficient that the per

with the civilian rate of $2.42.

found the cave where an old witch and
her black cat lived. They were dane
