WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The Gov
ernment announced today that many
of the State divisions of the woman’s
committee of the Council of National
Defense are preparing lor a survey
of the courses of instructions already!
ottered by the institutions in the sev
eral States in order to find out defin
itely the kind of occupational train
ing that is available and where it may
be obtained. Thus survey comes as
a result of inquiries from women for
war work. Mrs. Joseph K. Lamar, ol
Georgia, chairman of the committee
on State organization of the woman’s
committee, has made the following

already established committees on in
struction which plan surveys of the
courses offered by State, county, or
community institutions. These com
mittees will make a study of the reg
istration to discover the lines of ser
vice desired by women for active work.
The committee will then ask these in
stitutions to add courses, or, if this is
not possible, the committee in instruc
tion may plan to organize courses un
der its own direction. Teachers who
volunteer their services, or receive a
minimum fee, will be obtained. At
present the demand is for nurses, ste
nographers, and typewriters. Women
are being urged to take hospital train
ing or enter business colleges.
“The matter of giving training in
any occupation desired is one that
must be determined by the local and
State committees. The surveys which
are being considered will include the
courses being given by the Young
Women’s Christian Association, Young
Men’s Christian Association, the pub
lic schools, and the business and aca
demic colleges. The women’s commit
tee is not in any sense of the word a
placement bureau, but is interested in
the finding of work for women who
want to be of use to their country,
and is encouraging the formi ng of
these committees on instruction in the
various States.”

TO ELIMINATE
I WASTE MATERIAL
INCANTONMENTS
—
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, (By Mail) j
—The Food Administration makes!
public the following:
The War Department has taken
elaborate and comprehensive precau-;
tions to prevent waste in the Army •
cantonments, which will soon contain!
more than 2,000,000 men, and in the
embarkation camps. In the feeding!
of the men waste will be minimized
through the fact that the food will be j
prepared under the direction of mess j
cooks, who will be trained by special
courses in Army cooking schools.
The officers’ training camps have not
been under the control of the War De
partment so far as the food supplies
are concerned, and the waste in those1
camps has been due to the lack of j
skilled management in the handling of I
food. A committee representing the
War Department and the U. S. Ad*j
ministration will also assist in deal
ing with problems of eliminating the
waste.
Will Save Thousands of Dollars
The Food Administration has receive
ed from the Secretary of War an an
nouncement of a thorough-going plan
for conserving all the waste material
of the National Army camps, which!
will result in salvaging many thous
ands of dollars.
The Army’s first consideration in
planning this work has been the san
itary and hygienic problem. At each
cantonment the wastes will be collect
ed and transported to a single “trans
fer station” under the direction of the
sanitary inspector. Through the use
of the two-can system wastes will hi*
tightly inclosed throughout their col- ,
lection. Sterilized cans will he sub
stituted for the filled cans at the kit
chens, the nuisance of disagreeable
odors and danger from flies being re
duced to a minimum. Every step in
the process of reclamation and utili
zation is carefully safeguarded and is
under the absolute direction of a san
itary force, each contractor being
placed under heavy bonds.
Wastes to Be Sorted
At the transfer station the wastes
are turned over to a contractor, who
will remove them to a point at least
three miles distant from the reserva
tion. There the wastes will be com
pletely sorted. Bottles will he steri
lized and sold for commercial use. Tin
cans will be baled and the solder, tin,
and iron reclaimed. Paper, which is
estimated at about five tons per day,
will be baled. Bones will be kept sep
arate and ground for fertilizer. The
hides of dead animals will be remov
ed and the carcasses “reduced” for
grease and fertilizer.
The chief items of waste will be the
garbage and the manure. It is esti
mated that there are 1,200 animals at
each cantonment, producing 120 tons
of manure per day. At the date of the
report the manure from eleven can
tonments had been sold for $240,900
annually.
Greatest Saving in Garbage
j The greatest element of saving is
through the garbage. This has been
sold for an annual price of $446,394
i .50. The garbage from thirteen of the
■ cantonments will be used for feeding
swine. It is estimated on the basis
of experiments conducted at the Chil
licothe cantonment that the garbage
waste from 10 to 15 men will feed
one hog and enable it to add to its
weight 1 pound per day. At this rate
; the garbage from these 13 canton
ments will produce 18,980,000 pounds
I of pork per year.
When not used for feeding, the gar
| bage will be "reduced,” that is, cook
: ed at high temperature, the grease ex
tracted and the remainder ground and
used for fertilizer or feeds.
By the method of incineration for
merly in use, not only would all these
valuable waste materials have been
destroyed, but it would have cost ap
j proximately $700,000 for the installa-.
i tiou of incinerator plants and an an

this saving the amount annually re
ceived by the Government from these
wastes, the net saving the first year
amounts to $1,707,840.
The effect of this new plan, there
fore, is not only to conserve large
quantities of valuable food wastes, fer
tilizers, etc*., but to turn into a large
profit what has hitherto been a very
considerable expense.
