Take Over Coast Guard Service.
Consolidation of the U. S. Coast
Guard with the Navy by executive
order will affect the first consolida-
ton of executive Offices under the
present plan of reorganization and
consolidation. The entire coast guard,
which combined with the former life
saving service, will be absorbed by
the Navy. although it is likely the
life-saving service will eventually be
merged with the lighthouse service
in the Department Of Commerce.
Under administration of the Secretary
of the Navy the coast guard will have
a status similar to that obtained in
the world war. With legislation COW
ering the transfer of the commits
stoned officers. enlisted men and
equipment to the Navy, it is a fore
gone conclusion that every factor in
the successful operation Of the coast
guard will be advanced and the work
extended whenever necessary. Other
than the saving in administrative and
operating cost by consolidation of
services, there is much naval equip
ment available for the coast guard
which heretofore could not be used.
Members of both services look for
ward to the consolidation. especially
those officers who have made a study
of the subject.

Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge were regarded as the chief representatives of this so-called school, but Lamb, Lloyd and Wilson were also included under the same designation.

Association Cows Average
 5,9SO Pounds Milk Output

Tabulation of the yearly records of 38,532 cow-testing association cows has brought to light much valu- able information on the relations be- tween milk and butter-fat produc- ton, butter-fat test, income over cost of feed, and other factors, say specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. The aver age milk production per cow-year was 5,98O pounds; butter fat, 246 pounds; butterfat test, All per cent; income over cost of feed, $55.69; re- turns for $1 expended for feed, $2.11.
 The records show that in those associations where the work has been continued for long period the production has generally increased from year to year. As production increased, the income over cost of feed incfeased rapidly, and for each increase of 50 pounds in butter fat there was an increase of $15 in in- come over cost of feed.
 Cows that freshened in the fall produced more milk and butter fat and greater average income over cost of feed that those which fresh ened in the spring or summer. Large cows excelled small COWS of the same breed in production of milk and butter fat and in income over cost of feed. AS the butter-fat test increased, the average production of butter fat advanced and the aver age production of milk declined.
 These records also indicate that cows remain in the herd an average of about AT years.

How to Tell Whether or
 Not the Diet is Adequate

It is very hard for housekeeper to know exactly how much of each of the food substances or nutrients her family needs or exactly how much of each she is giving them. The exact amount each person needs de- pends upon age, sex, size, and amount of work done with the mus cles. An elderly person, or one of quiet habits, needs less food than 8 vigorous, young one; a large person more than. a small one; man more than a woman; grown persons more than children; and farmer in the hayfield, a mechanic, or a football player more than man who sits at his desk all day.
 In order to calculate exactly how much starch, sugar, fat, protein, etc. Cor, what is equivalent to this, how much protein and energy) the family needs, one would have to know exact ly how much muscular work each member performs, how much of the different nutrients each food con- tains, and how much each person eats. This, of course, would mean a great deal of figuring. Fortunately, such exactness is not necessary in ordinary life. If little too much or too little of one nutrient is pro- vided at a single meal or on single day a healthy body does not suffer, because it has ways of storing such a surplus and of using its stored material in an emergency. The dan ger would come if the diet taken week in and week out always pro vided too much or too little of some one nutrient. Against this danger the housekeeper can more easily protect her family.
 Habit and custom help greatly, because they usually are based on what the experience of generations has proved is wise and healthful, though, of course, there are bad habits and outgrown customs in food as in everything else. Good food habits include more than cleanli- ness and order in everything that has to do with food and meals and leisurely ways of eating. Equally inn portant are a liking for all kinds of wholesome foods, even IT they nave not always been used in ones home or neighborhood, and eating reason able amounts, without being either too greedy or overdainty. Every effort should be made to train chil- dren in such good food habits. If older persons have not learned them, they too should try to do so, for such things are very important not only to health but also to economy. To refuse to eat some wholesome dish simply because one is not accus- toned to it may prevent the use of some very desirable and economical food. To feel that there is any vir- tue in providing more food than is needed shows poor taste as we'll as poor economy, say household spec ialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.
