Second Lieutenant John I. Conroy of
the Marines Highly Commended
By Commanding Officer.
The bulldog tenacity and nerves of
steel which characterized the opera
tions of the United States marines in
their classic capture of Chateau Thier
ry and Belleau wood in the second bat
tle of the Marne earned unusual com
mendation for Second Lieutenant John
I. Conroy of the marines. The com
manding officer of his regiment wrote
to the brigade commander that Lieu
tenant Conroy was "conspicuous In
his services to the battalions in line,
carried on his duties at a storm cen
ter of bombardment by enemy high
explosive shrapnel nnd gas shells.
"Throughout this period he supplied
I he troops In line with ammunition, ra
tions, water and engineer stores with
tireless energy, marked executive abil
ity, foresight and absolute fearless
ness at all hours of the day and night.
He never failed In a crisis and only
bulldog tenacity and nerves of steel
made It possible for him to discharge
his multifarious duties. When enemy
fire exploded an ammunition dump un
der his charge Ills energy and cool
ness confined the damage to a mini
mum."

ORLEANS PUT IN
CONGESTED Iff
WAR DEPARTMENT CLASSIFIES
CITY AS HAVING SHORTAGE
OF WORKMEN'S HOUSES.
SIXTY CITIES ARE AFFECTED
Steps Have Been Taken To Set New
Orleans Right With Washington Of
ficials—May Lose Several Big Pro
jects Scheduled For City.
New Orleans.—
New Orleans, along with some six
ty other cities, has been classified by
the War Department as having a
shortage of housing and transporta
tion facilities, according to news re
ports from Washington. The depart
ment has Issued orders to all its sup
ply bureaus to sea that the placing cf
new war orders in those cities is
held down to a minimum.
Included with New Orleans in ths
"congested list" are such cities, New
port News, Norfolk, Portsmoum,
Pensacola, Charleston, Sheffield, and
Florence, Ala.
In New Orleans those who are in
close touch with war work believe
there must be some mistake so far
as this city is concerned. They be
lieve that the information on which
the War Department's classification
was based must either have been in
complete or incorrect.
Already steps have been taken to
set this city right with official Wash
ington. Unless this can be done, and
done quickly, Washington reports
state, the classification will have an
unfavorable influence on several big
projects for which this city is now
being considered. One of these pro
jects, it is understood, is a 'chlorine j
plant to cost in the neighborhood of I
$30,000,000. f
Shipbuilding and the making of !
shells and ammunition are other war '
activities which, it is feared would
be Influenced unfavorably were me
classification allowed to stand.
"In each of the sixty towns men
tioned," a Washington news dispatch
says, "it has been found necessary tor
the Bureau of Industrial Housing of
the Labor Department to make pro
vision to expend federal appropi lo
tions in order to relieve shortage of
housing and transportation. The Bu
reau of Industrial Housing has a large
amount of data which indicate great
expansion in industries in the cities
and towns mentioned. .
At the present time it is found that
the extreme congestion of living con
ditions is so great that the use of
beds three shifts a day has become
♦ . i
imperative. This condition has créât*
ed an exceedingly high labor turn
over, which has made for increased
cost and dela 7 in the completion of
work. .
It is admitted that War Department
contracts have to be expanded to
these points, In spite of the known
congestion, but the bureaus are ad
vised that it should be done only
after the most careful consideration.
The bureaus are warned that the '
funds at the disposal of the labor de
partment for providing housing ro
meet the increased demands are lim
ited, and it is desired to avoid such
expenditures wherever possible.

Honest Advertising.
J |'HLS is a topic we all hear now-a-days because so many people are inclined to ex
aggerate. Yet has any physician told yon that we claimed unreasonable remedial
properties for Fletcher's Castoria? Jnst ask them. We won't answer it ourselves,
we know what the answer will be.
That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to
be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and oar
assurance that its standard will be maintained.
Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that
Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestlj
advertised. Honestly placed before the public and from which he Honestly expects to
receive his reward.

LOSSES DOWN TO MINIMUM
Warfare Mortality Statistics Should
Give Comfort to Those With
Loved Ones at the Front.
Great as the danger, and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the indi
vidual soldier lias plenty of chances
of coming out of the war unscathed,
or at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, a soldier's chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from one.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from dis
ease in the army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to 15 men
died from disease to one from bullets;
in this war one man dies from dis
ease to every ten from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor In
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

With a Different Meaning.
Two neighbors were talking about
the young man who had lived off his
mother all of his married life. He had
a nice home, etc., but the neighbors
knew he had never made enough
money to pay for it. They also knew
of his mother's "helping him out."
"That fellow sort o' reminds me of
what Abraham Lincoln said one time,"
remarked the first neighbor.
"How's that?" queried the second.
"Lincoln said: 'All I have and all
I hope to be I owe to my mother.' "
