BROWNE OPENS
BUREAU BRANCH

Military Bureau of University of
California Will Establish a
Military Station Here.
The Military Bureau of the Alum
ni Association of the University of
California, under the management
of Homer Havermale, is maintain
ing a series of branch miltary sta
tions for the dissemination of infor
mation and for recruiting purposes,
and to further the work of the
association and help the govern
ment, has appointed Frederick D.
Browne, engineer in charge of tli*
division, manager of the branch
military bureau to be established
immediately in Nenana.
As there are many Americans
in the Nenana district, who would
welcome the chance to get all the
available information regarding how
best they can serve the government,
Mr. Browne has accepted the man
agement of the branch station and
will accept the applications of those
desiring to offer their services to
the country and give them all the
necessary information regarding the
nature of the service required. Only
very high grade, skilled men are
considered for the appointments
coming within the purview of the
Military Bureau of the University
of California.
The government is anxious to
reach experts in almost any line
of endeavor and the establishment
of a branch station in Nenana gives
such men in this district an oppor
tunity to demonstrate their pariot
ism and render aid to the country
in her hour of need.
WOMEN CAN PEAS;
HEP SAVE CROPS
MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Wives and
daughters of wealthy citizens in the
Wisconsin pea canning districts have
entered the canneries to aid the
labor situation. On Saturday they
line up for their pay envelopes and
receive a minimum wage for their
ten hours’ work.
Forty per cent of the peas can
ned in the United States ate put
up in Wisconsin plants.
Earlier in the season pea packers
expressed grave fears of a serious
labor shortage and pointed to the
Food Administration’s request for
all the peas possible.
George P. Hambrecht, labor com
missioner, after a conference with
Food Administrator Hoover, sent
labor commission employes into all
homes and obtained pledges from
women in all walks of life to work
in the canneries if called upon.
Then a conference was arranged
with the packers, who were informed
that they would be provided with
help if they paid the women a mini
mum wage, established a ten-hour
working day except in emergency,
and then jjot more than twleve
hours, and made proper sanitary
arrangements.
The_packers signed an agreement,
the women who had pledged their
services were called on, the response
was most satisfactory and the can
neries now are operating with a full
force.

YUCCA PLANT WILL
MAKE GOOD H
RIVERSIDE, Cal. — The yucca
plant of the Southwestern deserts
has been pressed into service to aid
in relieving a scarcity of fibre for
making rope and binding twine, due
to the world shortage of cargo
space. Yucca leaves, according to
experts, have been found to contain
a large amount of fibre closely re
sembling the fibre of the sisal hemp
of Central America, a machine has
been designed to separate the fibre
from the pulp and a plant has been
placed in operation here. The .first
car load of fibre produced by the
plant was shipped to the East a
short time ago.
The yucca is one of the common
est as well as one of the most showy
of the Southwestern desert flora.
The plant consists of a cluster of
bristling, sword-like leaves, from the
center of which in the summer rises
a pinacle of creamy, bell-shaped
flowers from five to fifteen feet
high.
Most of the leaves harvested for
the new industry here have been cut
in the Cajon Pass, through which
the Santa Fe railway crosses the
Sierra Madre mountains, but per
mission has been obtained to gather
the leaves anywhere on the public
domain and on the desert land hold
ings of the Southern Pacific com
pany.
Cordova is drawing up a rigid
fire ordinance to cover the placing
of flues in buildings of the city.
The ordinance requires that all chim
neys replaced must be of brick, and
will prevent many fires in the Cop
per City.
PREMATURE EXPLOSIONS
NOT GRAVE MENACE NOW
MANCHESTER, England. — Big,
battle-scarred Runs from Flanders
are returned here for overhauling
and repair. One, it was noted, by
a party of journalists inspecting war
work in this district, had been blown
in two, the effect of a shell’s pre
mature* explosion. The remnant of
the gun had been brought here so
that experts might determine what.
I had been the shell's defect.
In the early days of the war
faulty shells were responsible for a
large number of guns being de
stroyed as a result of “prematures.'*
So much care is now taken in the
manufacture of shells that the per- *
centage has fallen remarkably low,
the figures being only one to many
hundred thousands.
