WASHINGTON. tW. 21. One
month before the armistice with
Germany ended the war, the Ameri
can navy -was operating a total of
1.959 vessels of all descriptions, of
which 264 carrying 42.000 men were
actively participating in the war In
European waters.
These figure were disclosed In
the. annual report of Uear. Armiral
Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering. Daily expenditures of
the bureau during the war year cov
ered by the report exceeded $777,-
000.
Admiral Griffin id the regular
navy on the date of his report con
sisted of 570 ships, supplemented
by 93 vessels from the Coast Guard.
Ughthouse Service, Coast and Geod
etic Survey and Fish commission. In
addition the navy was then operat
ing 937 converted merchant craft,
yachts and the like, end the Naval
Overseas Transport service, consist
ing of 2 47 Shipping Board and other
supply vessels, with 112 more about
to be commissioned. Construction
under way for the regular navy at
that time included 376 new ships of
all kinds and 52 tugs.
"Since the United States became
a belligerent." the report states,
"the mngnitude of the mechanical
work of the navy, both mechanical
and electrical, not only in its. actual
amount but In the rapid develop
ment,of facilities for Its ex-cution
has been without pa1'0! for tn
same period of time In the history
of the world's navlfs."
To keep up the fleet abroad, three
repair bases were established In
France, one in Great Britain, one at
Gibraltar and two in the Mediter
ranean. These were supplemented
bv six repair ships which achieved
remarkable results in repairing ves
sels at sea.
The report makes the first offi
cial announcement regarding devel
opment of the submarine detection
devices and shows that American
equipment for this purpose has been
placed aboard both British and
French naval craft. Details are not
disclosed, however, the report In this
connection confining itself to the
following paragraph:
"Previous to July 1. 1917. there
were two devices for submarine de
tection in service. One was the
Fessenden oscillator, primarily in
tended for sending and receiving
underwater signs; the other was a
device developed by the General
Electric company. Since then eight
other devices for submarine

Tho mo;f imrortan factor In the
process of curing meat Is that of de
stroying the bacterial organism
which brings about decay. There are
many preservatives that might be
A second factor that must b re
garded Is the preservation of snch
;lavor as will nake the yneat paUt
able, digestible. atd otherwise fit for
hi.nan food.
There ar to methods or curing
pork commonly used throughout the
country. One is curing la btine or
pickling, and the otoer Ls diy curing.
The former method Is tbs more
simple In that no eipense In equip
ment needs to be roidd.
Itefore the meat Is rired it should
be thoroughly cooled. This can be
d&ne by allowing the meat, after It
has tx-en cut Into Its separate parts,
to lie upon a table In a cm1 place
where It may become thoroughly
chilled, and rprinkl.ng over it a lib
eral quantity of salt. Meat that
has not been chilled or retains some
of the animal heat Is likely I'j sour
or become tainted near th . bone.
This Is particularly true with Urge
han.s.
Ifce t.cit step lj to place the meat
In barirlt. after having washed ff
the salt and the bloody water, and
cover it with a kolntioc mad as fol
lows: Salt, eight pounds; saltpeter.
two ounces; sugar, three pounds.
This mixture should be dissolved in
four gallons of water. Increae the
quantity of solution, maintaining
these proportions in keeping with
the amount of meat to be cured. This
brine should I strong enough to
float a fresh egg. Another solution
may be made and used In this way:
Rlt, 30 pounds; saltpeter, fir
otmies; -brown u;ar, 10 pouff3s, or
molasses, one gallon. Dissolve this
mixture in 20 gallons of water Th!s
will.be sufficient for 400 to 600
pounds of meat. Put the solution In
a large kettle and let it come to a
boil, then take from the fire and
sktm. When cold pour tbe solution
tmto the meat and let it stand five
weeks. The larger pieces will re
quire a little lonrer time ani th
smaller ones not so long. Do not
put in any pieces that are tainted or
have bKin to sour, for Ihey are I5,
tfss and will spoil all the places in
tho barrel If left a week or 10 days
with them. It Is very Important
that every part of the meat hhonld
!- well covered with the brine'
10-pound ham should stand In this i
solution alMtut 40 days 'and a Im
pound ham. 0 days. Tho brine
should be examined every week, as
meat. If th brine found to be
sour remove all of it. wash the mat
and the batrvl and then make a
fresh solution. If a mold appears a
the surface, skim It off. The nest
step Is to haag the meal p and let
it dry for threw or losr daja, wh-a
it will be ready for smokiag.
Another method Is knows as dry
rating. After the meat baa beta
thoroughly cooled and all the aausul
heat gone, placw eaib, piece of meat
os a clean, bleached pleca of me!: a
cloth about a yard squirt, akia a.de
