RAPID PROGRESS IN OUTPUT OF AMERICAN GUNS U. S. Army Munition Plants Turning Out Quantity of Guns for Men Overseas.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. In an Informal summary of the army munii tlons situation today Assistant Secretary Crowell, Director of Munitions, Indicated that rapid progress wa be- : ing made In the production of rifles, machine guns and some types of artllllery. In a majority of the 24 plants at work on artillery contracts, howI ever, he Bald, the flow of manufacture had not yet reached the production Utage. i The output of 155-millimetre howitzI era Is an exception to this rule, approximately 250 weapons of this caliber having been shipped to France, i Mr. Crowell pointed out- that the 1 Bethlehem Steel company was the i only experienced ordnance manufac I turing concern at work. 19 others beling wholly new to this Industry. In i all of them, however, the raw material ' Is being steadily fed In at one end of the plant and the time is nearing when It 111 emerge at the opposite end ! In completing guns" of all sizes. In this connection Mr. Crowell said the new government plant on Neville Island, near Pittsburg, was designed for the manufacture of-largest caliber , high-power guns only, and will turn, lout nothing smaller than 14-inch rifles. The contract made with the United ' States Steel Corporation, which is I erecting and will operate the plant jfor the government without profit for me company, contemplates an expenditure of $150,000,000 on this project I alone. The plant has a ground area of 1,000 acres in addition to large I housing projects for the employes. ' 9.0CO Brownings a Month, i The flow of Browning machine guns (from the plants is increasing rapidly. ,'From 6,000 to 7,000 heavy and from 8,000 to 9,000 light Brownings per i month are being delivered, Mr. Crowell said, or enough to meet all requirements in France. Later on it will be possible to supply large numbers of i these weapons for training in the I United States. So far no report has come showing that divisions equipped with the Browning guns have been in action, but such reports cannot long be delayed, for a large part of the army in France is now supplied with these weapons. The output of artillery tractors has reached about 1,200 a month, Mr. Crowell's figures showed. He regarded it ns still far below the rate of production desired. There is no shortage of powder and no shortage whatever in Quartermaster's supplies. The rifle production, Mr. Crowell said, is steady at about 200.000 a month and the output of revolvers and pistols ranges from 50,000 to 60,000 a month, which it is expected will be largely increased within another 60 days. Th Assistant Secretary would attempt, no estimate upon the relative strength In artillery between the allied and American forces and the Germans which the completion of American projects would give. He said, however, that it seemed evident that tho American troops or the allied forces would be able to make good use of all the gurs that could be turned out and shipped. COUNCIL PASSES 3 ORDINANCES The city garbage contract was let by the council Tuesday night to F. E. Slick for ?21,492 for four years. Two other ordinances were passed on suspended rules. One as for the appropriation of an extra $20,000 for the purchase of coal for the light plant, and tho other for the transfer of funds from the crematory pay roll to the garbage account. After a long argument it was decided to turn on the water In the fountain at North Eighteenth and C streets. The panitation of market house square should be looked after, Councilman Waterman said. "The city must take the lead In being sanitary," he paid, "or the people cannot be expected to help." The matter whs referred to the authorities. Mayor Zimmerman gave an account of his trip to the east during the session of the council. September 25, 26, 27 ! English Girls Marry I. 5. Soldiers Serving Overseas WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN ENGIAND, Sept. 4. When the American army returns to the United States there will go with it, or at about that time, many women who, though British born, have become American citizens. They have married American soldiers and the indications are that their example will be followed by many others. Marriage of men while in the service is not regarded with favor either by the war department or by officers at headquarters in England but consent to a wedding has been given in more than one camp. So far the marriages have been between the English girls and the enlisted men, and in some cases the bride has worn the uniform of one of the many women's auxiliary corps of the British army. In such cases the girl has continued in the service of her country and the goodbyes when orders have come for moving have included the expression of the hope that they jnay "see each other in France."

Doctor Prescribes Vinol For This Poor Mother Who Could "Hardly Drag Around." Glasgow Jet., Ky. "I am a farmer's wife and was suffering from a nervous breakdown- loss of flesh and poor appetite so I could hardly drag around and do the work for my family, My doctor prescribed Vinol. It not only made me well and strong, but I have gained in weight.' Mrs. S. M. Gray. The reason Vinol proved such a wonderful strength creator in Mrs. Gray's case is because of the beef, and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptones and glycerophosphates combined in a pure native tonic wine, which makes Vinol the most successful tonic.
