full sets of equipment, in fact. There
was taken, also, canning exhibits, a
number of reels of motion pictures Of
canning work in the South and every
thing necessary for a complete course
of instruction in canning vegetables
fruits and meats in the home. A num-
Der of American manufacturers made
contributions of both tin cans and glass
jars and of various kinds of equip
ment. The department of agriculture
has prepared the material for bull
letin on canning to be issued by the
French government.
These four American experts are not
undertaking to teach canning directly
to the housewives of France. When
they arrive the Ministry of Agricul-
ture will have assembled probably in
Paris the domestic science teachers
from the agricultural schools of the
various departments of France. The
four experts from the United States
department of agriculture will con-
stitute the faculty of school of home
canning, the student body being the

CANNING EXPERTS
GO TO FRANCE TO
TEACH TEACHERS

WASHINGTON, May 27.-When
the Rochambeau steams out of New
YORK harbor today bound for France
1t Will have on board four cannin.
and drying missionaries to the French.
They are missionaries in tat they will
carry the message of home preserva-
ton of food to a country which now
does practically no canning at home.
1t is cooperative enterprise, the
parties to it being the American Com
mission for Devastated France, the
French Ministry of Agriculture and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The party was made up fol-
lowing a cabled request from the
French Minister of Agriculture thru
the French high commission to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston request
ing the loan of some home demonstra-
ton workers who were experts in can
ming. Two home demonstration agents
in the French regions of Louisiana
were selected for the job. They were
notified Saturday and started for Wash
ington Monday They are Miss Erin
Dore of Crowley, Acadia Parish, and
Miss Caroline A. Boudreaux of Scott
Lafayette Parish. With them goes Mrs.
Bernice Carter Davis, formerly State
Home Demonstration Agent for Texas
and DR.. Franz P. Lund canning and
drying expert of the Office of Elk
tension work South, Department of
Agriculture.
But the real beginning of the
project is a long way back of the
cablegram from the French Minister
of Agriculture to the American Secre-
tary of Agriculture. Last fall Mrs. Ber-
nice Carter Davis one Of the members
of the party of four was in France
for the American Commission for De-
vestated France. She discovered that
practically no home canning is done
that practically all canned products
are put up in commercial canneries
She found that the Ministry of Agri-
CULTURE was 1HteISSteu LnO AoAAe
demonstration work done in the United
States by the department of agricul-
ture and state colleges. She talked
home canning with officials Of the
ministry. Then she came home and
talked it with the American Commits
sion for Devastated France.
The Commission then made the Of
fer to the French government to fl
nance the project of sending a party
of canning experts to France, the
French government to arrange itinera-
ries and all details of that kind and the

too twitching of his hands which of

any of these things. 1t would only have

appeared. I was convinced that he

now appears that Georgia will get

Notice has just been received by
Judge T. E. Patterson, chairman of

the federal government holds in readi-
ness for shipment to Georgia coun-
ties two hundred and seven automo-
bile trucks conservatively valued at
100000, and while this is only the

way authorities. Applications to cover
the entire lot are already on file. The
counties will pay the freight on the
trucks from shipping points to desti-
nations. The trucks are stored at va
rious mechanical repair units, such
as Camp Jesup, in Atlanta
The sudden termination of the war
found the federal government in pos
session of millions of dollars worth
of equipment which could be used in
times of peace. This equipment was
bought with public money raised by
taxation and the sale Of bonds. 1t will
now go back to the public by distri-
button among the several states for
road building purposes.

is under way.
Chairman Hurley is hurrying the
readjustments that he may be able
to present to congress complete
program for future ship building,

war and instrumentaIities for car

At least two changes in personnel in
leading board officials are expected in
the reorganization work.

will support Mr.. Hurley. both in mis-
he has pursued toward cancelling con :
tracts for unbuilt ships.
CHANGE UNLIKELY
The policy of refusing to build now
for foreign countries is understood to
be President Wilson's policy and no
change is expected until after peace is
signed, This course was decided upon
early this year when allied govern
ments expressed a desire for American
ship yards to build 4,0OO,0 600 tons of
shipping.
President Wilson Is said to have
taken the position that until the peace
settlements We're definitely established
and 1t was ascertained whether the
American views of Justice and equity
were to prevail, this country woulo
withhold action on foreign requests for
aid in this matter.
Without establishment of league Of
nations, ii was the intention of the
president to advocate tremendous
increase OF this nations building both
as regards war vessels and merchant
ships Until IT could he established
therefore, just how much ship building
America was to do, II was decided 10
