WASHINGTON Dec 1s.-Repre-
sentative Gardner was the principal
witness todf.e before the House naval
committee. He read . long statement
IN support of his proposal for inves-
tigation Of the national defenses by
special commission.
~ am here to ask you TO appropri-
ate for the full number of new ships
recommended by the general naval
board for this ears construction,
he said, q am sorry TO say that
Secretary Daniels in his recommen-
dations to Congress has cut the naval
boards building program for this
year almost exactly in Two.
"If you gentlemen had permitted me
to present as witnesses a few recent
ly retired officers, in q single day the
country would have learned of our
demented policy of building warships
for cold storage. out of thirty COM
pleted battleships do you know that
twelve OF them are unavailable with
out a long delay on account of our
refusal to pay the bills for manning
them?
IF we had gone to war with the
rest of the first-class powers ear )
in August, do you realize that no
less than nine OF our battlesh ps
would not have been ready to fight!
We have fifteen cruisers, twenty-five
destroyers. eighteen torpedo boats,
five submarines and perhaps a dozen
miscellaneous fighting ships kept in
cold storage with the battleships.
Eighty fighting vessels Of our mod
est navy are not available for battle
in an emergency.

force OF the navy as between 10000
and $4,000 men short for war. II

PROPER STORAGE OF FLOUR
Easily Taken Precautions VIII lnsurs

White Worm.

When -four is stored in quantity, or
oven when bought In small supplies.
care Is needed to guard against the
presence OF that pest, the little white
-four worm.
Before putting away new -four, thor.
oughly clean the receptacle, being
sure that not - particle of the old
hour remains. It is the old flour that
Is left, even though 1t may be a very
small amount. that causes these
marauders.
If h flour Is kept in tin the tx
must be washed with absolutely clean
water and a good soap, and great care
must be taken that the tin Is entirely
dry before putting in the flour. II q
wooden holder, or bin, is used it must
be cleaned by brushing and airing.
When -four Is bought in paper bags,
1t is well to look carefully in the
creases Of the paper at top Of bag be-
fore untying, for here are found the
white flour worms, II there are any at
all, and these can be removed without
thet getting into the -four. But, when
q bag is simply opened and turned
into a bin. they are in this way In the
bottom, and in a short time will work
their way all through the flour.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Commenting on the business con-
dltions that have prevailed in the
country during the past year
Bradstreet's review for 1919, Just
issued, points out that while the
disruption of business, in many
lines, was worldwide and while
there was a keen disappointment
owe the failure of trade and f.
nance to respond to the apparently
strong position of this country's
producing and consuming interests,
there was a distinctly better tone
toward the end of the year and the
forecast is for a revival early in
the current year that will offset
much of the disquiet aud depres-
sion of 1918.
The statement takes the view,
held by many authorities in the f.
nancial world, that financial de-
preston such as that which marked
last years business in this country
is exceedingly likely to be followed
bv q reaction in the opposite di-
rection and that the country NAV
reasonably expect a period of sub
stantlal business prosperity 10 the
near future. This revival, it is be-
lieved, can be prevented only by
the most unfavorable crop develop
ments and accompanying. unforeseen
tightness of money, and the latter
contingency is regarded as remote.
Among the most potent factors
mentioned as having exerted an in
fuence upon American business,
pro or con, r the following:
The revelation brought abort:.by
the Balkan war. that overborrow-
ing abroad had reached a danger
Gus point; that gold was being
boarded in vast quantity in central
and eastern Europe as a direct re-
sultzof the war; military prepara-
tions throughout Europe; depres-
sion Of American securities by for
eign selling; the fact that we
were expurting gold instead Of i'm
porting" it; disquiet over Iegisla-
ton at Washington; early activity
in domestic trade and industry
showing a marked recession; tariff
changes and crop shortages; for
eign trade surprising in volume all
previous records; increased indus
trial outputs and gross railroad
earnings. coupled with high prices.
The prediction is made that the
enactment of the currency measure
by congress will render money
cheaper and easier to obtain in
1914 than at any tims last year. In
summing up the situation, the re-
port says: thine will perhaps be
needed to heal the bruises; they
were hardly d~eep-seated injuries
that the business world received in
1913, but past experience would
seem TO indicate that, lacking any
serious damage to the business
fabric, Of which there are no really
tangible signs by comparatively
qnick revival from the quite visible
in many lines should ensue govern
ed OF course, by money. and crop
