men, instead of 400,000 as recom
mended by the House Military' Com
mittee. The War Department had
recommended provision for an Army
of 509,000.
The controversy over the Army's
size was brought to a test vote when
,an item of $28,605,000 for the pay of
line officers came up for considera
tion. Representative La. Guardia,
Republican, of New York, moved
that it be reduced to $20,200,000,
making it in proportion to an Army
of 300,000 men. After two hours'
debate, the amendment was passed
by a vote of 59 to 37.
Supporters of the amendment con
tended that if provision was made
for 400,000, the War Department
would make no effort to carry on the
demobilization as rapidly as possible.

Three Penna. Couples
Lead Bi-weekly Report
Philadelphia, June 12. The bi
weekly report which is issued by the
Savings Division and covers , the
amount of sales of Savings and Thrift
Stamps throughout the district" for
the two weeks preceding May 17
was not so encouraging.
This is no doubt due to the Victory
Liberty Loan Campaign, which was
at its height during this period. The
indications are that a better report
will be forthcoming from all districts
when the next tabulation is made.
Notwithstanding the drterrent of
the strenuous loan campaign, three
counties of Pennsylvania made per
capita sales of over five cents.
Juniata and Potter Counties led with
an average of $.07 per capita.
Juniata's record to date is $.87 per
capita and Potter has sold $.54 per
capita. Fulton was the third county
to sell over this average, with a
record of $.06 per capita for the two
weeks and $.54 per capita to date.
Late reports show that Juniata
county sold S.OB per capita last week,
making its average for the year $.95
per capita so far. Camden County.
New Jersey, equaled Juniata's record
last week, selling S.OB per capita and
increasing its average to $.91 per
capita to date.
Poor Housing Means
Big Labor Turnover
Niagara Falls. June 12.—The la
bor turnover in Niagara Falls in
1917 in plants employing 5,249 was
placed at approximately 3,600 em
ployes or an average of 260 per
cent. This percentage, applied to
the total number of employes which
it is estimated are engaged in in
dustrial work in the city, would
Aean that the total labor turnover
in the community in 1917 was about
.38,000 persons.
It is the belief of a housing com
mittee, whose members have care
fully studied conditions, that a la
bor turnover reduction of up to
twenty-five per cent, might be ef
fected if the housing conditions
were first class. This committee
found that it had bden difficult to
attract the right kind of labor, that
many men have refused to stay in
the city because of inability to se
cure proper houses or adequate
boarding facilities and that a rea
sonable proportion of the high and
costly labor turnover has been due
to insufficient housing.
• BEER PRICE JUMPS
Banbury, Pa.. June 12.—Beer took
another jump in price and it now
rivals the heights traveled by the
proverb.al cow that jumped over tiie
moon. The two and three-fourths
per cent products is twenty-five
cents a bottle, and a further advance
to thirty cents is predicted.
Many hotels are running out of
keg beer. Various clubs of town
cannot get ( enough to satisfy their
thirsty patrons. Beer has gone to
sl9 a barrel, where the price used
to be $7.
WhiskV of the kind that sold for
.$1.50 a bottle a few years ago, now
brtngfs $6.
