TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA. “Eatless and save more” is a slogan destined to. become America’'s watch- word: ln !bls war. The starting point for any campaign of this nature must 1t is pointed out: by the Secretary of Agriculture ‘that one ounce of waste in each home in America amounts to a total of 1,300,000 pounds in the course of a single day. There are some 20,000,- 000 homes in this country. If a sav- ing of oape ounce of foodstuffs 1is effected ‘each day inreach of th homes it is easily seen that enough food may “be conserved among them all to feed one meal to an army of one million men. The need of this saving is brought to the attention of every housewife when it is remem- berod that it uke! the fruit of many acres and the work of many people to n.l-e prepare, and distribute 500, 000, 000 pounds of food a vear. Men, py Rature, are more extrava- sant than women. If there is to be saving, then, the women must lead the way. Recoghizing this, the goverg- ment makes its appeal to them ‘for the prleuce of thrift. In the present emergency every woman can render important service to the nation. She can help the armed forces of the Dation without neglecting her home duties to do so. Neither need she abandon her kitchen.

Klett for the procedute, especially during the present era of. high prices and shostage of food, as well as*by Judge James T. Mebkill that he has no sympathy for such-con-, duct and that it must, and Will. be stopped, W, Wrona of 57 Broad street$| provision dealer, was fined $60 and costs in police court today for viola- tion of the statute governing the use of correct weights and measures. Bonds for an appeal were fixed at $250. Attorney Henry Norwicki en- tered a vigorous defense and con- tended that the error in overcharging for a barrel of crackers and misrep- resentation of welight were not in- tentional and due to unfamiliarity with handling this type of provisions. Prosecuting Attorney Klett contended. that there was every indication that the mllropresentat on was with the knowledge .of = those responsible, claiming’ that the weight mark on the barrel had been removed and .other marks n pencil added. It 'was last week that Alex Symun- ko of 102 1-2 Gold street, a factory employe, decided to prepare against high prices and possible shortage of staple articles of food by buying crackers by the barrel- It was tes- tified that he bought the crackers at the Wrona store, .the - barrel was marked 97 1-2 pounds and he sup- Pposed he was getting that amount and paid for it at the rate of eleven cents per pound. Later, it was testified, he was suspicious of its lightness and Sealer of Weights and Measures Carl A. Carlson was called in to investigate. According to the testimony, the barrel «and contents tipped the scales at only 94 pounds, while a barrel, in itself 1s supposed.to weigh from 18 to 20 pounds. It was testified that barrels differ in weight but are marked plain- 1y as to the weight of the contents. Carlson started an . inveftigation and vistted the Wrona store to in- spect other barrels there. It was after this ¥isit. it was testifled, that ‘Wrona discovered his mistake, that there was an alleged shortage of from 20 to 22 pounds between the con- tents of the ong sold and what was paid, for it and visited Symunko to pay him the, difference. The deferise claimed that Wrona whs guiltle: of any intent, was in New York the greater part of the week, that the merchandise was sold by a clerk and he did not know of the error until he returned- Immed- istely upon discovery, it was contend- ed, he did his best to rectify the mis- take.

The rate of income, it was shown by de- tailed financial exhibits presented to the commission, had been steadily dé- clining for some years, due to the fact that( while rates for service had re- mained practically stationary, the cost of producing transportation had steadily risen, The average charge for carrying a ton of freight a mile for the past fourteen years was less than two-thirds of a cent (6.3 mills), and in 1916 the average rate was 6.27 mills. Increased Efficlency of Operation. To show the increased efficiency of operation, records covering a period of fourteen years (1903-1916) were laid before the commission. The average tractive power of lacomotives has been increased 50 per .cent, the average capacity of frefght cars 40 per cent., and the average freight train load 72 per cent. .

'During the past five years the"tn- crease in the property investment inf the eastern lines was only $755,000,- 000, as compared with $1,133,000,000 in the preceding five years. While the incerase in the property investment in the eastern lines was omly $755,000,- 000, as compared with $1,133,000,000 in the preceding flve vears, While the increased investment in the earlier periad was 23 per cent., that in the later period but 12 1-2 per cent.

While allowing the difficult details of Squad movements to sink into his mind, the new saldier would do well at this point tg look back over the ground hg has traversed. He should refresh his mind, so far as necessary, upon what he has previously learned, nd he will at once discover a differ- ence between his.present grasp of military facts and their requirements. The more he learns, the more reason- able, necessary and illuminating be- comes that which he has already learned. For example, the new soldier who has been taught how to execute “Squad Right,” does not need the same amount of explanation for the necessity of discipline and- obedience as at the beginning. He realizes by this time that no squad movement would be possible unless each indi- vidual were subject and responsive to discipline. He does not have to be taught the reason for learning .to stand properly, since he sees that no Squad could come to the position of Attention and dress its line in a prac- tical military fashion unless each in- dividual first came to Attention. This does not mean that the new spldier— and even the partially trained. soldfer —wlill not find it necessary ‘again'and again to go over the details of how to perfect himself in these essentials, but it 1s doubtful whether he would here- after have to be told why. - He has learned how to stand. how to step—forward,~ backward, sideways, the half-step—and Mark Time; ‘He has learned how to face in any direc- tion—Right e, Left Face, - About Face, and the Half Face, “which creates the proper angle for the Oblique March. He has learned- how The ;u!vamce was to become effect- ive July 1. - President Alfred H.,Smith of the New York Cehtral read a statemant! before the'commission in which he said that the railroads were not seek- ; ing to shift their burdens to others, | | but asked '‘“merely to share in th prosperity of the country, and because the financial strength askéd for was necessary to carry out the program undertaken for the benefit of the whole country and to maintain the de- gree of efficiency necessary to carry out proverly ‘the railroad’s share in the program of national defense.” i CHURCH MEMBERS IN SERVICE.

B’ how to stop—the HALT, in two counts; how to execute the commands altering the direction of march. He has been instructed in some of the elementary military courtesies, such as the all-important salute, and he has learned the way in which com- mands are given. He has by this time come to lean on the Preparatory Command as a necessity and through this his mihd and muscles are auto- matically made ready, in time, for. the- Comand of Execution. With the ex- ception of a few single commands, such as “Fall In,” “At Ease” and ’—a special class—he will find that his faculties depend upon the; preliminary notification of what they are to do in order to do them precisely at the moment of performance, All this will have become clear to the new soldier if he has familiarized himself with the drill as far as the point of Squad movements. He will find that his muscles would subcon- | sciously resist a command of execu- tion, without the preparatory notice of what 1s expected qf them, This affords them a chance to gather them- selves into a balance for the most effective discharge of the command, and this balance, operating subcon- sciously, iy a big factor in the making of the gobd soldier. Tomorrow’s article will deal with the personal appearance of the soldier, to be followed by practical experience hints on the soldier’s care of his health, etc. We shall then return to the School of the Squad.. In the meantime, the new soldler should dafly review the squad movements al- ready placed before him.
