LIFE OF AVERAGE MILK
BOTTLE OFFERS SAD STORY

Washington, May 3-1'he average
milk bottle makes ony seventeen trips
before it is broken or lost. FOR, every
consumer who has a quart of milk
delivered at the door each day the
dealer in the course of year has to
supply twenty new bottles. This is
the report made Dy dairy experts of
the department of agriculture, who
have inst completed an investigation
Of the staggering waste Of millions
OF milk bottles annually. - :.
The investigation, conducted In
etghty-six- cities, show that the aver
age milk dealer buys 1888 new
bottles a month and the large dealers
buy more than 10000 a month, which
are largely, though not entirely re-
placement stock.
In sixteen of the cities investigat"
ed, more than 100000 sound milk
bottles are collected annually from
the city dumps, the specialists re-
port. In some cities. the business
carried on by junk dealers is one Of
the most serious sources of milk
bottle losses, they say. Not only do
they sell the bottles to dealers in the
city, but often ship them to other
towns. Moststates have no laws re-
stricting such traffic.

Through pessimism. lack of faith and
ignorance. people for Centuries have
permitted these dreadful diseases to

cational campaign work really begin.
The lessons of the war have been
many and important, and they have
shown that by proper educational
work civil communities can be kept
healthy and happy.

Cettinje. (By Mail.)-Montenegro,
smallest, poorest and most barren of
the Balkan states, Is tasting the
fruits of American enterprise and
generosity. The United States food
administration and the American
Red Cross have sent hundreds OF tons
of flour, clothing, shoes and medi-
cines into this desolate little coun-
try, which has never yielded suffi-
cient from It's soil to support the 3d.
900 sturdy mountaineers who make
their homes here.
The presence of Americas two big
relief agencies not only as anchor
ated conditions among the destitute,
but 1t has resulted in 100 per cent
decrease in the prices Of all the
necessaries Of life. The food admin
istration is selling a part OF Its -four
at cost. To those not able to pay the
-four is given free.
There are two companies of Ameri-
can troops here, whose principal
work has been in putting down Incl
pient revolutions among dtsaffected
Montenegrin soldiers. Recently a
large body Of Montenegrin revolu-
tionists surrendered TO small de-
tachment OF American doughboys.
The revolutionists were disarmed
and then pressed into service by the
Americans to unload supply boats
from the American Red Cross :: They
were compensated In -four and were
eager after that to secure permanent
employment in the Red Cross. Each
man received six pounds Of -four q
day.
Cettinje, which formerly was the
capftal of Montenegro, Is situated in
a little valley almost completely sur
rounded by high mountains. The
town has much the appearance of a
Mexican city with its wide streets
and low red-tiled buildings. Near

FLAGS OF THE UNITED STATES
NOW FLY OVER BALKAN STATES

the center Of the city Is the palace Of
King Nicholas. who although now In
Paris, is struggling hard to retain
HIS throne. In a sumptous building
formerly occupied by the Crown
Prince, the American Red Cross has
established hospital.
In one home visited by the corre-
spondent, there was a mother Of
three children lying on bed Of
straw on the floor and dying Of pneu-
monia. A girl of twenty rested on a
mattress Of bags near the door. Her
hands were tied. She was insane.
The other two children. suffering
from malaria and malnutrition, were
huddled close to q feeble fire Of char
coal embers. The father. who had
lost leg in the war. sat disconso-
lately on a log. There was not a
morsel of food in the house.
In the town of Podgoritga. where
the American Red Cross has hospi-
tai and soup kitchen, the correspond.
ent noted two children gnawing:
ravenously on q dogs bone which
they had picked up in the street.
To help the American Red Cross
in relieving the widespread distress
among the poor, United States army
officers and soldiers, recently re-
leased from service in France, are
being employed A number of fe-
male physicians attached to the
American Women's Hospital. New
York. also are being used. or 49,
600 Montenegrins who migrated to
the United States, more than half re-
turned to fight for their country. The
influence Of these Montenegrin-
Americans is felt everywhere.
How completely the Americans
have penetrated the country Is shown
by the fact that in every large town
American flags may be seen flying
from storehouses and soup kitchens
established by the American Red
Cross.

GERMANS NEVER USED 3.
THEIR METAL PLANES
(By United Press. }

Berlin. (By Mail.)-The> Germans
never had chance to use their latest
aero creation on the front against the
Entente airmen-the- entirely metal
plane. Fire from the tanks burning
the light inf1ammable material Of
which planes are usually made caused
the deaths OF a large PERCENTAGE OF
avfators. 4
The metal plane was made of al
uminum, body, wing struts and all.
The most recent development includ-
ed metal wings, except the edges,
which have to be flexible for guiding
the plane. The metal plane was al
and came as near being an armored
plane as anyone could develop.
The aluminium plane was developed
by engineers connected with the Zep-
pelin works. In the Zeppelin factory
at Staalen are almost a hundred OF
these planes nearly finished, most of
them without wings. They are bright
and shiny aluminium, and are the
most deathly looking machines I'M
aginable. ~,
The aluminium plane was never
used on the front, though 1t had been
tested very carefully In the rear and
at the factory, and was found entirely
satisfactory. It was as fast and al
most as light as the planes made of
wood. 4,-a+7, e.
"The arnnistice came along and pre-
vented us from using the aluminium
plane" said the Zeppelin manager.
ut was the same with our giant
bombers. Another year and we'd
have had enough of both to have COM
plete supremacy. Then the Entente
would have come along with some
thing better That's the way it
went. nip and tuck-and the infantry
settled the war afer ALL"
