aged and badly worn equipment. In
the depot area are huge buildings,
one Of them 525 feet wide by $40
feet long, used wholly for making
repairs that cannot be taken care of
at the front. Duplicate parts of all
equipment are kept on hand-either
for use in the depot or for ship
ment.
The third function Of the Tooele
Ordnance depot is one Of salvage.
Back to this depot are sent train
loads of used shells, large and
small. The unchanged are shipped
to the munitions factories for re-
filling, and the unusable are sent to
the smelters. The army expects to
get back approximately 80 per cent
of the shells, packing cases, ammu-
milton belts, clips, etc., issued.
Women by far outnumber the
men in the warehouses. Girls
trained for the job operate motor
driven fork lift trucks-which pick
up huge cases and stack them-8, 10
and IL feet high. The depot is
manned mostly by civilians.
Most interesting Of all the fea-
lures Of the depot is the storage Of
the actual munitions. Small caiber
ammunition is stored in above-the
ground warehouses. Heavy amrnu-
milton and bombs are stored in zig
loos."
There are about 1000 of these ig-
loos ranging in size from 40 feet

War Goods, From Brushes 70 Bombs, Are Stored
In HuQe Warehouses Of Utah Ordnance Depot
Munitions Are Made
In Nearby Factory
AT Salt Lake City
By John Elbridge Jones

Released by Western Newspaper Union.
The military axiom that IAN
army travels on its belly" is
true, but a modern army needs
many other necessary supplies
shoes, for instance, and trucks,
and tanks, tractors, munitions
and guns.
To furnish these supplies when
and where needed and in the
proper amount, the U. S. army
has built up separate organiza-
tons with the army, headed by
Lieut.. General Brehon B. SOM
ervell, called Service Conn
mands." There is a Service
Command" for each military
area not only within the U. S.
but wherever the army goes.
For the first IL months or more
of this war all information regard
ing army operation and placement
was a military secret; now-in drlv-
ing for final victory-the army
wants you to know how it operates;
how it takes care Of your son or
your husband-what it feeds him,
how it clothes him-what it gives
him to fight with and how 1t cares
for him when sick or wounded.
With that in mind Maj. Gen. Ken
yon A. Joyce, commanding general
Of the Ninth service command, with
headquarters in Salt Lake City,
Utah, recently invited a group OF
newspaper men to visit all OF the
army service forces. These news
paper men were shown everything
and told everything, but they were
restricted not to reveal military in
formation helpful to the enemy.
Mont Combat Goods.
All of the thousands Of articles
called mon combat equipment"
meaning, in general, everything the
army uses except actual weapons
and fighting machines, are procured
by purchase or are made to order.
Canned vegetables, blankets, safety
pins, uniforms of all sorts, road ma
chinery, and stoves are samples of
these things not used in actual fight
ing, but most necessary just the
same.
The Ninth service command pro-
cures and stores this non-combat
equipment in Utah Army Service
Forces depot at Ogden, under the
direct command of Brig. Gen. Ralph
Talbot Jr. Here are tremendous
warehouses and storage spaces
much of it in the open, with SEEM
ingly miles of rows of equipment
such as trailers-trench diggers-
harrows, carry-alls, scrapers, water
tanks, plows, portable generators,
barb wire and bridge building ma
terial.
The depot is roughly mile wide
by three miles long. There are Is
permanent type warehouses of con-
crete and steel and nine temporary
warehouses of wooden construction.
They house everything the army
needs and uses outside of munitions
and implements Of war.
Several are used for food, others
for clothing, kitchen equipment, for
automobiles, for drainage tiles, for
pipe, for everything.
On display were box lockers, IL
kinds of hats or caps, shirts and
underwear, carrying bags, gloves,
coats, mess kits, sleeping bags, uni
forms for army and for WACs and
for nurses, musical instruments,
shoes, sox, tool sets, helmets, plastic

Rationing by State

Certain foods that cannot be ra-
toned on a nationwide basis be-
cause of differences in sectional
eating habits will probably be dis
tributed in the near future on state
quotas. For example, the annual
per capita consumption of rice
varies from two pounds in the
Northwest to fifty pounds in the
South.
