TWO MORE STARS FOR UNIVERSITY'S FLAG Eugene B. Chase Writes From Camp Stanley-Was Stu dent Here. An enthusiastic youngster, who thought much study a weariness to the flesh and who spent several happy years on this campus, was Eugene B. Chase, Jr. He writes as fol lows, under date of March 31, from 3rd Company Infantry, Camp Stanley, Leon Springs, Texas: "It was with a feeling of real appreciation that I read The State's account'of the unfurling of Carolina's service flag. I think, however, that there are some names which were not in cluded in the list which will en title the flag to more stars? In fact, there are two former Car olina men at this camp whose names were omitted, John Olin Perritt and Edward H. Girar deau, both of these men took a leading part in athletics while in school and very probably were included in the list; how ever, I failed to note their names in the published list, so I take this opportunity of cor recting the error if one really exists. "As you probably already know, the men of the 30th Di vision who were selected to at tend the third officers' training camp were all sent to this place. Yesterday marked the ending of our twelfth week twelve weeks of as hard work as a man ever put in, three more weeks and our labors here will be ended, until then we will not know how or where we stand, nor will be able to say where we will be sent. "Of the two hundred and thirty-eight men sent from the 30th division four of us are former Carolina men, John O. Perritt, Edward H. Girardeau, Grover C. Richey and myself, so far all of us are holding on. "Camp Stanley is located in the hills southwest of San An tonio and there is much which we can see which is of historic interest. However, I have had no time for anything but work since my arrival. I do hope to get the opportunity of visiting the Alamo before leaving here as I may never have this oppor tunity again. I am not even sure of this chance, tho. "My kindest regards to all of my friends among the faculty and student body." Dr. Currell addressed the Aiken county teachers on March 23. On April 5 he spoke at Prosperity and at Ridgreland on the 6th. EAT POTATOES SAYS FOOD ADMINISTRATION "Potatoes for America, Bread for Europe"-New Slogan. As a further means of cutting down the consumption of wheat, this will be the slogan and suggestion in South Caro.. lina of the Food Administra tion, to which the attention of the people of the State will be directed through several agencies. Hotels and dining cars ser vices will be asked to decrease the price on potatoes, to make a "service" of potatoes, and thus to induce the public to eat more potatoes and less bread. Home demonstration agents throughout the State will be asked to make special demon strations in the substitution of Irish potatoes for bread, thus bringing the matter directly be fore the domestic and home makers clubs in the several counties. Hashed brown potatoes for instance, are cheaper than bread. The first cost of potatoes for hashed brown is not more than three cents for the por tions usually served by hotels, restaurants and on dining cars. The dining car change for hash ed brown potatoes is twenty five cents. It has been careful ly figured that the potatoes costing about three cents, add ing one hundred percent for other charges, another one hundred percent for profit,. and then even and additional twen ty-five percent, 15 cents would be a very reasonable price. Mashed potatoes could be eas ily served for the same price and thereby save bread. In other ways, too, Irish pota toes can be substituted for wheat bread. Potato bread is very palatable and is delicious. All home demonstration agents have receipes for making pota to flour and potato bread, and the hungry millions in the European countries would count themselves extremely fortunate could they provide themselves with so delightful a substitute for the wheat bread that they are so sadly lacking. H-owever, it is not possible to ship potatoes, and therefore the slogan: "Potatoes for America, Bread for Europe." In adidition to hotels, restaur ants and (lining cars using po tato substitutes for bread, the householders are urged to cut the wheat allowance wherever possible and use Irish potatoes instead of wheat or mixed Globe Dry Goods Co.
