TEASPOONFUL WILL BE REPLACED BY "CALORY" American Housewives Are Going to Learn to Cook in Terms of "Calories." American housewives are going to learn to cook in terms ot "calories" instead of '"teaspoonfuls," for the food administration plans to conduct a "down to the masses" educational campaign for them. Information will be issued to the housekeeper in terms which she can understand, in an effort to augment the conservation of foodstuffs to such a degree that the United States will have no difficulty in providing food for all of the allied armies. "High cost of living" bulletins is- sued broadcast over the country for the last vear have been too techni- cal, say members of the food admin- themselves the task of making a chemist out of every housewife. The national body of women, to be recruited from every community and every walk of life, will accomplish this, with the aid of bulletins. Laboratories will be established in every community so that every mother may learn how to cook the most from the least amount of food- stuffs, "so that her boys" at the front may have all of the food they require. On the staff of herbert C. Hoover, who has been appointed food admin- istrator by President Wilson, are numerous experts who were em- ployed by the Belgian relief commis- sion in Belgium. They have had prac- tical experience with war cookery, and believe they will be able to con- vince the American people that many of the so-called "war foods" are really no measures of hardship, but are new discoveries in diet and foods. [RR MILEAGE ALLOWED MEN AT ARMY POST SCHOOL The war department announced vesterday that traveling expenses at the rate of 34 cents a mile will be allowed all members of the reserve officers' training camps. This will be in addition to the $100 a month pay and 75 cents a day a man for rations already voted upon by both houses. The appropriation of funds for these purposes has not been made so far, however, and it is still a mat- ter of conjecture just when "the dan and the three other camps. EE EE Arm Bands for Men.

Moffett Will Spend $15,- 000,000 for New Buildings to Take Care of Recruits. GREAT LAKES STATION WILL BE THE LARGEST Captain Moffett to Go on at Once with the Building Plans. Captain W. A. Moffett, command- ant at the Great Lakes Naval Train- ing station, returned from Washing- ton, Monday, with full authority from Secretary Daniels and the gov- ernment to go right on with the ac- quisition of some 900 acres of ground, most of it south of the station, upon which they will immediately erect new barracks to accommodate the 27,000 recruits which will make this training station the largest in the country. There was some difficulty about the purchase of the land, as the own- ers did not take kindly to the over- tures to lease, but wanted to make a sale to the government, though of- fering the land at prices much below that quoted in the current market. It is believed that all these difficulties have now been arranged satisfac- torily and that the building of perma- nent barracks will be commenced in time to have them completed by the fall. New barracks and the largely increased number of recruits to be accommodated will also necessitate additional accommodations in every other direction, from the power house to the bakery, and make essential as many more other buildings to serve recruits as it will of barracks t; house them. Plans for the expenditure of $15, 000,000 for permanent buildings a the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta tion, in addition to the $3,000,000 fo temporary barracks, have been ap proved by Secretary Daniels. This announcement was made b_ Captain W. A. Moffett, commandant of the station, following a telegram from Secretary Daniels. huge sum will be sent to congress within a few days, Captain Moffett said, and it is probable that it will be made. Insull and Armour Aid. These plans were discussed by the secretary last week with Captain Moffett, and with Samuel Insull and J. Orden Armour, who went to Wash- ington as representatives of the state council of defense, and successfully urged the program upon Secretary Daniels. Captain Moffett will be. ready to start work immediately after the appropriation is granted. He wants to complete the buildings before win- ter. They will quadruple the per-. manent structures and enable the station to quarter 12,000 men without the use of temporary barracks. Secretary Daniels announced that a lease contract had been made by Captain Moffett on a tract north of the station owned by several Chi- cagoans. Five thousand jackies are now living in tents there. Rush Temporary Plans. Construction of temporary bar- racks will be rushed to increase the capacity of the station to 27,000 men, making it the greatest naval training station in the world. The permanent buildings will be of steel, brick, stone and concrete, and will include a drill hall, a class building, two new mess halls, a bak- ery and possibly a new boathouse. Captain Moffett announced that the Chicago & Uorthwestern railroad and the Chicago, North Shore & Mil- waukee Electric railroad have prac- tically decided to erect new stations in harmony with the naval station.

A request | for immediate appropriation of the | DRY NATION ASKED IN PETITION TO LEADERS Illinois Anti-Saloon League Urges Immediate Prohibition. Suppression of the liquor traffic "in all its phases" was petitioned of President Wilson and the Illinois members of congress in resolutions adopted at the annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon league of Illinois, in the Great Northern hotel. The resolutions, presented by the Rev. M. P. Boynton, urged "immedi- ate and effective national prohibi- tion" as a "war measure and in the interest of health and morals of this nation for all time." Women's action against liquor was declared by F. Scott McBride, super- intendent of the league, to have been the determining factor which made dry 1250 out of 1430 townships in the state. That women are not per- mitted to vote for members of the state house of representatives has been one of the main obstacles to state-wide prohibition, he declared. 1,500 COLLEGE MEN TO DRIVE ON BATTLEFIELD Students Waiting Orders to Get Into Active Service in France.
