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.

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.
G athers Unexploded Shells.
General BaiJoglio. underchief of the
Italian general »taff, lias presented
th e m inister for reconstruction of the
invaded territories, Signor Frm leletto,
his report on the recovery of unex-
pbaled projectiles and Isimbs in the
zone of war. and in the localities
w here the principal buttles occurred.
From the beginning of the w ar to
October 17. Ib is. 7.800.000 did not ex
plode. F p to November 1. 1H17, there
w ere collected about 7,000.000 unex-
ploded bombs. From 1017 to the end
of hostilities, about 7,700,000 unex
ploded projectiles were found.
T he raking of the ground to find
them goes on actively; hut It will he
