ais Others maintain that handmade
cartridges are superior to machine
made, whether of government or priv
ate manufacture. 1t certainly would
be interesting, if not conclusive
test, of the merits of these claims, if
the various kinds could be used in the
National matches, bit as care is taken
that conditions shall be equal, there
seems to be no chance that anything
but government ammunition will be
used. This matter is thought not like
ly to come before the National board,
although it makes an interesting topic
of discussion among the National
Guardsmen.
The attention directed to the work
of the national board for the promo.
tion of rifle practice by President
Roosevelt. in the concluding para
graph of his annual message to con-
gress, has attracted much favorable
comment. The board was created by
congress for the purpose of stimulat-
ing interest in rifle practice, first in
the national guard, and second, among
civilians. The first part OF its task
has been we'll performed. The mill
tia is practicing with the rifle and
revolver as never before and with the
half million dollars now annually set
aside exclusively for rifle practice,
each state will be provided with
ranges and many new state and inter-
state matches will be arranged. In
cidentally, the attendance on the ma
tional matches will be increased, as
there will no longer be the excuse of
poverty to keep state from sending
a team. Among civilians the work is
necessarily slower. Clubs must be
organized, ranges found and weapons

Convention to Solve Car Short
age Problem Called in
Chicago Today.
MANY LARGE INDUSTRIES
HAVE A Representation
Reciprocal Demurrage Suggested by
Some Heavy Penalties by Others
Coal and Lumber Interests Favor
the FOrmer-MOve Not Inimical TO
Railroads.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. "A considerable
number of the large shippers through
out the country, representing various
industries, gathered in Chicago today
to discusse the car shortage problem.
The lumbermen's associations took
the initiative in bringing them to-
gether to exchange ideas and to re-
commend informally some solution.
The majority appear in favor of fed
eral legislation penalizing the rail-
roads for failure to deliver cars re-
Questioned by shippers, after a rea-
sonable time.
In calling the gathering to order
the chairman explained the chief pur-
pose of the present movement to be
to secure the enactment of federal
law requiring the assessment and
payment of reciprocal demurrage.
Under such law, the speaker further
explained, the railroads themselves
would be penalized for failing to pro-
vide shippers with cars within a rea-
sonable time after their requisition,
just as the shippers are now penalized
for failing to load cars delivered with
in reasonable time. Such law, he
said, would go long way toward re-
lieving the car shortage now existing,
and would prevent its recurrence and
the enormous accompanying losses in
the future.
The speakers explained that the
present movement is not inimical to
the railroads themselves, but to the
car service abuses which they have
allowed to grow to such enormous
proportions. For years the roads
have enforced rules to exact demur-
rage from shippers for failure to load
cars within a reasonable time. This
was generally recognized as just and
calculated to secure prompt shipmen
and more satisfactory car service, and
the right of the roads to exact this
demurrage under reasonable rules has
seldom been questioned. But when
the roads themselves fail to deliver
cars requisitioned for loading, and
when shipments are delayed for weeks
and months by reason of the failure to
place cars at the shippers disposal,
the shippers naturally feel that the
rule should work both ways and that
the demurrage should be reciprocal.
The coal and the lumber trades are
leading the fight for reciprocal de-
murrage. Present conditions in the
lumber trade, especially in the south
and west, are said to be deplorable.
The car shortage problem is causing
enormous financial loss to lumber
manufacturers and the same applies
to a greater or lesser degree to the
coal, grain and other trades. Failure
to make car deliveries has materially
reduced the current receipts of the
shippers, and as a result some of the
strongest concerns in the country
have recently been compelled to bor-
row money at heavy interest to handle
their payrolls and other obligations.
Not only are the firms themselves af'
fected, but their laborers are also suf-
ferers, so that the total loss of time
and money as a direct result of the
railroads to supply cars is incalcul-
able.

Japanese lacquer is the most beau.

world, and 1t has recently been the
subject Of a special study by two
chemists, Messrs. A. Tschireh and b.
Stevens, whose results are published
in the Archiven der Pharmazie. The
special qualities Of Japanese lacquer
are its brilliance, It's great hardness
and toughness. and its resistance to
acids, alcohol and boiling water. Il
is made of the gum of the Rhus yer.

In China as well as In Japan, and
may be g e as an ornamental tree in
Europe. The best gum comes from
the foot of the tree In the hottest
