RESUME SHIPMENTS
Northern Pacific Will
Raise Its Embargo on
Lumber Products
Next Week.

TACOMA, March 13.-Northern Pacific
officials announced today that the freight
embargo will end next week. Early in
the week shipments of eastbound freight
will be received and special efforts will
be made to rapidly move the lumber, ON
which shipment has been delayed almost
two months.
Lumber and shingle manufacturers
will profit most from the lifting OF the
embargo. Some of the smaller COM
panies have oeen forced to the verge Of
bankruptcy on account of not having
been able to deliver orders. The early
resumption Of shipments will save them.
1t will also furnish work for about 600
men who were thrown out of employ.
ment when some OF the mills were forced
to close.
In anticipation of an increase in the
already heavy business, the Northern
Pacific equipment has been increased
by the addition of new cars and locomo.
tives.
Although shippers were notified by
Great Northern officials yesterday that
the embargo on forest products had been
raised and offerings would be accepted
from now on, there seems no prospect
for resumption OF shipments for two or
three weeks. There are now 4,SOO load
ed cars west of the Cascades awaiting
shipment east, and no more cars will be
loaded until they are forwarded.
No cars have been loaded with lumber
or shingles in Northwest Washington for
go days. Ninety per cent. of the rail
shipping mills are. closed down and will
not be re opened until their yards are
cleared Of accumulated stocks, which,
under ordinary conditions cannot be done
for at least month after the railways
begin furnishing cars.

NEW ENGLAND's
OLDEST WOMAN
IS 105 TODAY

Worcester. Mass. Aug 1s.--Mrs. Jo-
hanna Flagg Harper. the oldest woman
in New England. Is celebrating today
her f05th birthday by a reception at
the home OF her grandson, Franklin
Young. at SO Lake street. Nearly 80
descendants Will attend the reception,
which will be short because Mrs. Har-
per does not think she can stand the
strain OF a protracted social affair.
Mrs. Harper was born In Montreal
and lived there until she was 21 years
old. when her parents came to Wor-
cester. They came overland by team
and horseback and were a month maxi
ing the trip. Her parents were the
first French people to settle In central
Massachusetts. At that time there
were only two stores and seven houses
in Worcester.
Mrs. Harper Is at the head of Ave
generations. but only two OF her chill
drsn are living. She rises early In
the morning. reads the newspapers and
spends much OF her time sewing. Her
eyesight is particularly good and she
has to wear glasses only part OF
each day.

EXPERT TELLS
OF CONCRETE
CONSTRUCTION

Washington. Aug. .9.-The recent col
lapse OF a number of REINFORCED concrete
buildings with loss OF life and OF several
hundred thousand dollars has brought
to the attention OF structural material
expert the need for an immediate revision
OF the building regulations OF the great
cities OF the country. 1t Is declared that
inattention to this new material on/the
part OF officials of municipalities and the
haphazard manner in which II Is being
handler by some contractors have led TO
I most serious problem and will result
In more disasters unless there Is a remedy
at once.
Richard /. Humphrey. expert In charge
OF the United States Geological Surveys
structural material laboratory In st. Louis
and Norfolk. declares that the danger of
collapse OF concrete structures exists In
nearly every important city In the United
states. He said: ''I have examined care
fully nearly every one OF the buildings
that have collapsed within the last year
and in every case the fall OF the buildings
has been due to carelessness Of construc~
tion. From what I have seen OF other
concrete buildings In process of construc-
| tion 7 am satisfied that the same errors
are being repeated and that further col
lapses surely will come unless the officials
| or the clties take the question In hand
now. This danger OF careless construction
confront snearly every city OF the coun-
try, and II sa miracle to me that more
concrete buildings have not collapsed.
THE science OF concrete construction
Ia not vet thoroughly settled. and un-
til II Is the greatest care should be
taken In the use OF the material. There
Is a prevalent idea that IL can be used
by unskilled laborers. That is the err
ror which has led TO serious conse-
quences. While IL Is true that un-
skilled labor can be employed to n
large degree, concrete construction re-
quiros the same care and attention to
details that Is demanded by first class
construction with other materials"
The geological survey is now con-
Quoting experiments at its laboratories
In St Louis and Norfolk to test the
| strength OF concrete and OF reinforced
concrete beams, columns and floor
| slabs.
