10,000 TONS OF ARMY GOODS ARE UNLOADED A DAY

American Docks in France Scenes of Stirring Activity Requires Big Working Force. AMERICAN' PORT, Southeastern France, Oct. 14 (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Eighteen big steamships of 6,000 to 8,000 long each were unloading American army goods at the rate of 10,000 tons a day along the three miles of American docks here today. The spectacle was a stirring scene of activity. Crowds of enlisted men assisted at the hatches and manipulated the giant cranes aa big steel motor trucks were lifted out bodily, along with parts of locomotives and railway cars, and all the miscellaneous freight of an army, while an army of negro stevedores kept the steady stream of goods moving back to the nearby warehouses and trains. Taaklng care of this avalanche of army goods coming from America, is quite as much of a problem as taking care of the arriving troops. Here one obtains an Idea of the mammoth proportions of the equipment which the Americans have been compelled to set up for this branch of the expedition. Coming from a northern port, a succession of big American establishments was seen at every port along the western coast. At one port were 14 American docks or berths, at another port eight, at a third four, another three. Here at this main port are 16 American docks each with a thousand feet of frontage. These 45 docks at the five main ports represent a dock frontage ot about ten miles, capable of unloading 30,000 tons of army goods every day, or an average of about 50 pounds per man for everyone serving In France. And yet, great as this present equipment Is, It represents only about a third of the vast installation which Is moving steadily forward to completion In order to meet the needs of an army of several million men. The basis of calculating for this huge work" Is 50 pounds per day per man this being an average covering the whole range of military supplies, individual and general, food, clothing, ammunition, guns, and all other army requirements. Gigantic Warehouses. On this established basis of 50 pounds per day per man, an army of a million men requires 50,000,000 pounds of goods daily, or 25.000 tons. But as the American army In Europe has long exceeded the million mark, the scale of preparation must be far in excess of this 25,000 tons a day, reaching not far from the gigantic total of 100,000 tons daily, to be unloaded from ships, wtored In warehouses and trains, ana started on Its way to the men at the front. It is this colossal daily requirement which stirs into intense activity these miles on miles of American docks where three shifts of soldier workmen, working night and day, are unloading scores of steamships. Seven miles back from the water front there Is another huge American Installation where goods from the Fhlps are stored on their way to the front. It is gigantic, like everything In this vast military influx, and when we visited it today the 147th warehouse had just been completed. Each warehouse is 500 feet long and together they stretch along four miles of front. In the neighboring camp were 7,000 negro troops and laborers engaged In

the warehouse work. An American railway system connects the water front directly with this storage plant and incessant streams of army goods keep moving forward to the warehouse plant. The whole place fairly throbs with animation, and besides the enormous industry there is the bustle and activity, of , countless camps with their khaki tents dotting the fields for miles along the railway. Altogether, on the water front and receiving plant, the working force includes 13,000 engineer troops, 7,000 stevedores, 8,000 civilian laborers, 1.000 German prisoners and 1,000 infantry, in all 30.000 men carrying on the American activities at this one port.

Early fall is a good time to start a fllock of sheep. They will , pay well. Cotonseed meal, silage and a little corn will provide a ration hard to beat for cattle feeding this winter.

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treatment that relieves itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin. Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon you will find that irritations, pimples, blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm and similar skin troubles will disappear.

A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfying liquid, is all that is needed, for it banishes most skin eruptions and makes

the skin soft, smooth, and neaitny. The E. W. Kose Co Cleveland. O.

The Old Way was to be a slave to the kitchen, and wear one's life out in a clutter of work.

BE CAREFUL AND COURAGEOUS .Spanish influenza may kill more people with the foreign name than with the deadly nature of the new disease. Fright can barb the arrows of an ordinary cold with all the poisons of death that travel in the germs of an imported epidemic. "Go to bed and keep warm," is the best advice that can be given to sufferers who feel the chill touoh of an on-coming cold in these October days. Too many panic-stricken newspapers delude the people with the notion that every attack of cold means Spanish influenza and ev

ery case of Spanish influenza means death. BE CAREFUL AND COURAGEOUS CAREFUL not to neglect a cold that may grow into Spanish influenza, and COURAGEOUS in a refusal to be frightened to death with the Castilian name of the latest peril to health and life.
