BOOKS FOR OUR FIGHTERS More Than Half a Million Already Furnished Soldiers and Sailors by American Library Association ? What the Hat Cord Denotes. (Prom Committtee on Public Information.) Washington.?

More than half a million hooks al ready have been furnished soldiers and sailors In training camps and in France by the American Library Association War Service, and the flow Is steadily Increasing, according to the director of this work. A campaign for funds inaugurated by the association last autumn netted more than $1,500,000 and real results In the tangible shape of books and comfortable libraries are being felt by the soldiers and sailors. The Carne gie corporation gave $320,000 for, the erection of camp libraries. Nearly all camps now have libraries and In the others the buildings are in course of construction. The reading rooms each accommodate 250 men. For the men In France the associa tion has organized distributing sta tions at all points of embarkation, where books are assorted for shipment abroad. Soon every soldier who steps on a transport will carry a book with him, which he and his companions will read on the way across, after which It will be forwarded to the men back of the trenches. No attempt will be made to establish libraries In France, but the. association will have representa tives there to supervise the work of distribution. Just as the sleeve chevrons and bars, stars and eagles on the shohl der proclaims ranking officers, the hat cord denotes the branch of service each private has entered. Light blue signifies infantry; scar let, artillery ; yellow, cavalry ; buff, quartermasters corps ; scarlet and white, engineers' corps; orange and white, signal corps ; scarlet and black, ordnance ; black and white, field clerk ; maroon, medical corps ; black and gold, officers ; silver and black, adjutant general's clerk ; green, instructor home guards ; green and white, home guards. These cords are worn only on serv ice hats. Cadet aviators wear as hat bands Inch and a half white ribbons and on coat collars insignia representing the aviation branch of the Signal corps, rropeller blades. There were 1,428,650 enlisted men and 110,865 officers in the United States army at the opening of 1018, more than one and a half times as large as any force ever before mo bilized by this nation, according to ia statement by Secretary of War Baker. During the war with Spain the army of the United States at its maximum strength aggregated 272,000 men and officers. The army in the field and In training now is practically six times as great the maximum number un der arms in the Spanish-American war. About 45,000 officers were commis sioned from civil life in the two series of training camps, nearly eight times as many as the number of officers In the regular army April 1, 1917. Postmasters are directed not to ac cept for shipment to members of ex peditionary forces packages contain ing matches, cigar lighters, or solidified alcohol, including the preparation call ed "Sterno" or canned heat. It is not deemed safe to admit these articles to malls for foreign countries or for United States naval vessels, In cluding marines on shore in other coun tries. Contractors working on orders for the navy are required to provide watchmen and devices to protect their plants and property and the work in progress against espionage, acts of war and of enemy aliens. Upon re quest they must report the citizenship, country of birth, or alien status of all employees. * / % A second training camp will be held at Porto Ulco, starting February 1. The attendance of 400 will be selected from citizens and residents of Porto Rico. I U.--J Tli? committee on public Information has made the following translation of an article appearing In the Bremer Buerger Zeitung : "A soldier's wife who had gathered wood in the common forest of Wald klrch, near Freiburg in Bretsgau, was sentenced for the offense in the follow ing terms: "'Mrs. Clara Canter, on June 18, 1017, has removed from the commou forest of Waldklrch, Sec. I 23, one fagot of dry fir twigs of the value of 10 pfenning. In punishment thereof she is seuteuced to a fine of 1 mark and one day's imprisonment.' "The husband of the culprit has been for three years at the front, she her self has four small children to support in the direst poverty. Similar reports of punishment should be reported iu greater numbers. Our bureaucracy un derstands how to employ this period of shortage of wood and coal on a large scale for the benefit of the treas ury." In a bulletin on the employment of women in the storage and warehousing depots of the United States jirmy Is the following: "The census of 1010 reported that of every 100 men and boys ten years of age and over, only 10 were not gain fully employed. This group of 10 in cluded old men not able to work, chil dren too young to work, the sick and handicapped, and men In schools and colleges. "Assuming that .100,000 of the num ber called by the selective-service law have had some form of gainful employ ment, we may estimate that one out of every 00 men In the industries and professions of the country has been called into military service, while an other in every GO has voluntarily Join ed the forces of the army or navy. Thus, about 3 per cent of the gainfully employed men have been taken out of their occupations." The largest shoe factories in Italy have started manufacturing the nation al standard shoes, using leather sup plied by the ministry of industry, com merce, and labor. The standard types were established by the central shoe committee In Rome, but every factory is making little modifications, accord ing to its means and system of manu facturing. The government is organizing sys tems of sale of oboes to the public. They provide for the opening of stores i In the principal Italian cities, to be engaged exclusively in the sale of na tional shoes and to be controlled by the government authorities. It is like ly that buyers will have to obtain j cards. The private shoe stores will be sup ! plied with an adequate number of i -dioes and will be granted a reason able commission. The army and navy commission on training camp activities, in addition to the work being done in army camps and cantonments, now has its repre sentatives in every training station of the navy and at every place where en listed meii are preparing for sea serv ice. There are 86 clubs for sailors at camps and In adjacent cities. There are reading and writing rooms, assem bly halls, and some of the cities have arrangements for athletics, swimming pools, and gymnasiums. In the 18 camps there are given each week 02 entertainments ranging from profes sional performances, lectures, and ex hibitions, to club nights and weekly dances. More than 60,000 books have been furnished ships and stations by the American Library association. The Y. M. C. A. has 42 buildings and tent? In the various camps. According to the bureau of labor sta tistics of the department of labor. In the year from November 15, 1916, to November 15, 1917, prices of food as a whole advanced 23 per cent. Potatoes Is the only article that shows a decline In price. Cornmeal advanced 87 per cent ; bacon, 62 per cent ; pork chops, 48 per cent ; beans, 39 per cent ; sal mon. 38 per cent ; milk, 33 per cent ; and lard, 27 per cent. Food as a whole was 4? per cent higher on November 15, 1917, than on November 15, 1913, and 46 per cent higher than on November 15, 1914. During this four-year period cornmeal advanced 127 per cent; flour, 100 per cent; lard, 104 per cent; bacon, 77 per cent ; sugar, 75 per cent ; and potatoes, 72 per cent. No article declined In price. Examination of the records of 10,000 men passed for military service by lo cal boards and then rejected by cainp surgeons show that nearly 22 per cent of the final rejections were caused by defective eyes. Teefh were responsible for 8.50 per cent ; hernia, 7.47 per cent ; ear, 5.94 per cent; heart disease, 5.87 per cent; tu berculosis, 5.37 per cent. Attempts to evade military duty by deception regarding physical condition were very few. The year of 1017 established new high production records for corn, oats, rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobac co, beans, and onions. Arrangements have been made for some relaxation of the restrictions on the export of foodstuffs to Cuba, whose people are trreatly dependent upoa the United States for their food supply. Among the exports which may be licensed In limited quantities are condensed milk, butter and cheese, pork products, beef and beef product* and dried fruits. The lfl cantonments built for the training of soldiers cost $134,000,00^ rrlth a net profit to contractors of 2.J per cent Carter's Chapel School Notes. Although bad weather hps prevailed in our section, the attendance at school has been excellent. Our teachers, Misses Aileen Hlay lock and Elizabeth Nichols, spent Saturday in Smithfield. Mr. Barney Edgerton left for Camp Jackson this week. We are sorry to see him go, yet glad that he can be of service to his country. Mr. and Mrs. S. W.

There was no insurance. ? X. X. Selma, R. 3. "Well, did you get any orders to day?" asked the book agent's wife. "Yes," replied the book agent. "I got two orders in one place.
