SUMMER FOES OF
HEALTHY BABIES
USE OF MILK AS DIET WILL DO
MUCH TO LESSEN CHILD MOR
TALITY.
July is the first of four months of
special danger to babies, and this year
scar conditions make the summer
asonths particularly hazardous accord-
inr to information made public by
, the Children's Bureau of the U. S.
> Department of Labor.
In July thedeaths of children under
two from certain easily preventable
diseases are usually more
double those in June. By Aug-
d eaths from diarrhea and en-
are three times what they are
in June, and then umber does not fall
again to the Junel evel until Novem
ber.
Conditions which lower the resist
ance of children make these diseases
more threatening. This year the war
makes it more difficult and costly to
feed children properly, as they must
be fed if they are to be strong and
well to resist disease. At the same
time the toll of deaths on the Euro
pean battlefields makes it more neces
sary to conserve babies’ lives.
This combination of circumstances
has made it imperative to increase
public and private work to protect ba
bies this summer. Then ational baby
test has pointed thes pecial health
needs of the children in hundreds of
communities and found out thechil-
dren who must have special care.
Communities areu sing various ways
to meet the needs revealed by the test.
One way is to advertise the value and
economy of using milk, even at a high
pricep er quart, in feeding children.
As one New England mother said,
milk is less expensive than doctor’s
bills.
The one way which has proved
most effective in saving babies’ lives
is the employment of public health
nurses. The public health nurse both
in the city and the country can make
generally known the most modem
means of guarding children’s health,
and the Children's Bureau believes
that the places which are employing
such nurses to protect their children
and to meet then eeds revealed by the
test can in that way do much to save
babies and thereby to meet the war’s
demand that life shall be conserved.
NEW SHELL.LOADING PLANT TO
HANDLE 82,000 SHELLS A DAY
Quantity of not capacity shipments

Atlanta, Ga.—Beef - regulations
use of beef at the mid-day meal each
week in hotels and public eating
'houses. This revision was made by
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food
administrator for Georgia, in pur
suance of the Food Administration's
policy of relaxing drastic regulations
at the earliest possible moment when
Changed conditions permit. The sup
ply of beef cattle is now coming on
to the market in somewhat larger
quantities and the meat situation has
considerably relieved. The Food Ad
ministration is making thorough in
vestigations of all cases of hoarding
of regulated foods by individuals,
with special attention to sugar, and a
man at Canton, Ga., who bought SOO
pounds which he han no right to buy
will shortly face a federal grand jury
in the United States Court in Atlan
ta.
ment shell-loading factory in New have now been revised to permit the
Jersey, one of four such Government
plants each of which is larger than
any similar plant in theworld.
When turning out 62,000 loaded
shells a day under full operation the
plantw ill use 2,000 tons of shells and
explosives daily, thep roducts of some
75 factories. More than 6,000 women
will be required. Plans contemplate
the employment of a large number of
women. The markinf of shells to
designate size, load and range will re
quire 260,000 operations each day.
The plant has a total area of ap
proximately 2,600 acres. More than
100 buildings with an aggregate floor
space of 1,300, 000 square feet will
provide storage for shells and parts
and for material. A small city or
with heating and lighting plants wntef
and sewerage systems, plant and sew
material. A small city, with heating
and lighting plants, water and sewer
age systems, hospitals, fire fighting
plants, and restaurants, was built to
house the employees. There is equip
ment to protect the health of those
who work with poisonous gases, and
a school for instruction in the load
ing of artillery ammunition with high
explosives.
The operating plant consists of 13
shell-loading units, each independent
of the other, with equipment for load
ing 13 sizes of shells, ranging from
ther ecently developed 37-millimeters
to 16 inches. On two sizes of shells
thep ropelling charge also will be
loaded, the shell and cartridge case
being assembled at the plant. All oth
er shells are assembled in France.
In the construction of the shell
loading units the problem was far
greater than one of mere building. Im
rnense fans have been. installed to
dispose of the poisonous fumes from
theh igh explosives. When a unit is
in operation the air in the loading
roqm is changed every few minutes.
Specially designed suits will be worn
during work ith the explosives.

be honored by the youths of the fu- [
turc sent to the station for training.
Relatives of men who have been
lost in the present war who have not
received requests for pictures are
asked to mail them to the Department
for this memorial. All pictures should

HEROINES IN BATHE
Young Women of Red Cross
Make Fine Record.
Render Invaluable Service In Opening
of German Offensive In
France.
Washington.—Young women of a
Bed Cross front line unit made a line
record In the opening German offen
sive In France. At Roye they took
over' the direction of military traffic.
One girl In uniform standing at the
four corners directed columns of guns,
cavalry, supply wagons and troops,
thus preventing a traffic jam.
These women were the Inst to leave
several towns before tbo Germans en
tered. They aided hundreds of refu
gees’and established temporary kitch
ens, where, among others, 260 British
soldiers who had not eaten for many
hoars were fed.
The girls also established an Infor
mation bureau at Montdldier until this
town was captured by the Germans.
They picked up wounded when they
were unable to make their way to
dressing stations, and brought food to
canteens and kitchens to keep them
going.
At times the girls were only one day
ahead of the advancing Germans and
once crossed a bridge only a few mo
ments before It was blown np. For
eight days they worked without remov
ing their clothes, sleeping on straw la
barns when they conld sleep, and eat
ing Irregularly.
All In all, the conduct of American
girls and women back of the lines Is
calculated to Inspire our soldiers to the
highest courage snd exertions.
“13P IN ACTS OF PRESIDENT
Unlucky Number Plays an Important
Part in Transactions of Chief
Executive.
Washington.—Another reason has
been discovered for the eerie air of
mystery that always cloaks the num
ber: UL
In the latest report of the attorney
general concerning pardons granted
federal prisoners by the president
the fateful figures predominate. For
instance, 94 persons were granted per
mission, upon serving their sentences,
to enjoy civil rights again. Tbo com
bination of 9 and 4 makes 13. Tb<
president also restored the rights of
citizenship to 13 deserters from the
army and navy. The total number of
pardon applications granted by him
was 828, and these numbers If taken
separately and added combine Into
the old and gloomy 13.
Now then, if one still has doubts
concerning the fatalistic features of
the number. It might be added that
the prcsldedt denied 81 applications.
Reverse that—and what have you?
INTERNED HUNS STEAL BOAT
Kill Guard, Capture Dutch Submarine
at Java, and Make Their
Escape.
San Frandaco.—How the crew of
an Interned German ahlp at Java cap
tured a Dutch aubmarine and escaped
from the port with It, was told by
Fritz von Ebelshon, a Dutch citizen
visiting here.
The submarine had just returned
to Java otter a six-months’ cruise, and
all of the crew except an anchor
watch were being entertained at a
banquet on shore when the Germans,
stealthily leaving the Interned (ger
man ship Graf von Lnttwlts In a row
boat, made their way to the side of
the submarine and boarded her, tak
ing the anchor watch by surprise.
. One of the Dutch sailors was killed
and the others were held prisoner,
while the Germans manned the sub
marine and escaped. Yon Ebelshon
declared the censorship had been very
strict and he did not know whether
or not punning vessels ever recap
tured the diver.
Bulb Culture Ones a Craze.
Bulb culture In Europe has bad a
particularly Interesting history. The
tulip, for Instance, has been popular
In European gardens for about three
centuries, and prior to that time It
was cultivated for many centuries by
the Turks. Near the close of the six
teenth century the tulip was Intro
duced into Holland and the popularity
of the plant Increased so rapidly that
by 1634 It had become a craze. For a
number of yean the wildest specula
tion prevailed Is tulips and enormous
pricey were paid for rare bulbs. Five
hundred dollars was. not an unusual
amount to pay for s' choice tulip, and
such bulbs as the famous Semper Au
gustus brought more than $5,000
apiece.
