DELBERT MURPHY ON THE ATLANTIC The following letter was re ceived this week bv Mr. and Mrs. Avery Murphy from their son Delbert, who is on the Atlan tic on his way to Italy and Tur key: On the Atlantic. May 27. 1919 Dear Mamma and Papa: Though I would drop you a few lines to let you know 1 am 0. K. We are having good weather and also a good time. We are paint ing the engine room. We started yesterday and it will take quite a while to finish the job. They canned the steward to day. I don’t know what they intend to do with him. We are headed toward Giber- altar. from there we go to Genoa. Italy or Constantinople, Turkey They are not just sure. The At lantic is more rough than the Pacific. We expect to reach Giberalter in 14 days from Newport News or a week from today. Newport News is a small place like Salem, but Norfolk is quite a place about twice as large as Portland or Seattle. Camp Lee is close by and sure a big camp, also the Chesapeak Naval Training Sta tion. These help it very much. During the day you can hardly talk for airplanes. I saw eight planes and three sausage balloons all up at the same time. While there I saw 13 of our most wonderful bartle ships. Each one cost $15,000,000.00. We are now getting in the former submarine zone. Every day we pass parts of blown up ships, life preservers, clothing and various kinds of things that will float. I will write to you again soon. Sunday, as Giberalter is close we ^ill be there tomorrow about ten o'clock, P. M. We got a new chef at Newport News and he is a dandy. Our Steward has gone crazy from drinking lemon and vanilla extract. I guess they will shove them off at Giberalter and send him back on anotner boat. We expect to be in New York on July 15th. It will take about twelve cays to unload. I am feeling fine. Delbert Murphy Fish Meat vs. Beefsteak. “Fish Is not filling” said a lm»ineS* m an the other day. “It's all right for a light luncheon, but somehow I never feel that it Is really nutrition.». For real food give me good old lieef.” T hat m an jieeds educating. He should know some of the simple fact* M ated by II. F. Taylor, a scienrls' of the bureau of fisheries, who tells us th a t jiound for pound there Is nearly if not quite us much protein In fish m eat as in beefsteak. Oily fish, likt- shail. herring and eels, an- *.»p«-cially nutritious, affording a targe quantity of fat a» well as protein. FI»h roes contain more protein than beef, with som e fat. Fish m eat Is quite as easily digested as other meat, and is a suit- ble form of protein for sedentary w orkers. P ractically every fish taken from pure w ater is fit to eat, the only ob jection being to some varieties being toughness and coarse texture, which m il be rem edied by proper cooking.

From 1017 to the end of hostilities, about 7,700,000 unex ploded projectiles were found.
