Bread is cut by II band saws. and perforated endless conveyor properly salts and peppers the victuals; twenty large street sprinklers are used to put the syrup on the hot cakes. Coffee is made in a 6,0OO gallon tank and is pumped to the tables through pipes by centrifugal pumps. Ten 5ton rol- lers are used to knead the bread to save labor and costs. Six mains have been laid from twenty of the country's largest dairies to supply the milk. Radio telephones are used by the mess sergeant who also uses a motor cycle ill travelling around the dining hall and kitchen. All the cooks wear gas masks. This is the third largest kit chen of it's sort in the army.

JINGLE SAM HAS NEW STYLE ARMY KITCHEN
 REPORTS [. MILLER

The following description of ser ies of permanent army kitchens, said
 to have been adopted by Uncle Sam is forwarded to the Gateway by Carl Miller of Valdez, who says he got the dope from friend, Captain s. F. Fry or, quartermaster corps, Fort Mason, San Francisco. Captain Pryor wrote to Miller as follows:
 You may be interested in a great permanent army kitchen where a freind of mine works"
 "The range is 500 feet wide and 3, 900 feet long. It takes 27 experienced fil'amen to keep the heat at the nee. essary temperature, 400 cooks on duty all the time, 1000 mechanical stokers for the kitchen police and 1000 assistant kitchen police to watch the sto1ars. Two hundred washing machines are used for washing the potatoes, 27 pile drivers mash the pot atoes, 14 steam shovels shovel the egg shells away from the kitchen door, P Liberty motors are used in the coffee mills. Dirty dishes are hauled to II blast furnaces as the dishes are paper and are burned after every meal. Hot cakes are mixed with concrete mixers and 46 men with bacon rinds attached to their feet skate continually over the large griddle to keep it graased.
 Soup is made in an artificial lake which keeps 34 dump trucks busy hauling the necessary ingredients, Cooks use steel boats and are dressed in asbestos clothing. Every few min utes they TOW to the center of the soup lake and drop depth bombs to properly stir the mixture.

Government agencies seeking advice and
enlightenment on aeronautical subjects,
has been formally asked by an impor-
