World Wide War Trust
(By Congressman Clyde H. Travonuer.)

(By Congressman Clyde II, Travenner,)
When Mr.. Daniels, for many years
editor and publisher Of the Raleigh
IN. O. News aud Observer, was sworn
in as secretary of the navy and had
time to look about MIN, he found that
the peoples money was being wasted
by the payment Cf excessive prices for
armor and practically all articles re-
quircd for the navy. Throughout his
two years in the cabinet he has been
earnestly endeayWing to rescue the
public treasury from the patriots for
war, who year in and year out have
been helping themselves, seemingly at
will from the public crib. Secretary
Daniels has saved the government some
$2,00O,OOO, which is but drop in the
bucket to the amount he could save il
he could obtain government mnnufac.
ture of everything.
In his first annual report fer the
year 1913 Secretary Daniels asked for
an appropriation for an armor.platc
factory. ] quote from that report;
81 desire to recommend the passage
Mt the earliest moment of sufficient
appropriation to begin the construction
of government urmor plant to relieve
n situation which, in my estimation, is
lntolerablc and at total variance with
the principle Of economy in spending
government money, Only three
firms in this country can manufacture
armo plate, and these firms have put
in bids for armor plato seldom varying
over few dollars, and in many in.
stances being identical to cent. Ask.
ed for reasons as to the uniformity of
these bids, two of the firms replied
frankly that as the contract would be
divided amongst them anyway the
only effect al competitive bids would
be to reduce the profits made by all
of the three firms

voloped The last word has not been
said in armor, and past history shows
that great improvements in the manu-.
facturo and design Of armOr plate have
been made, The greater part Of these
improvements were suggested by actual
experience gained by naval officers.
Under our present system OF obtaining
our armor plate from private companies
such improvements become the property
Of all the world and can be obtained by
anybody who cares to buy them. Even
now the Improvement in armor and the
designs worked out by the navy have
been embodied in tho warship Of an
other nation recently finished by the
Bethlehem steel Co., and put into com.
mission. This is not an argument light
ly TO be dsregardcd in favor Of gov.
ernment armOr plant, nor has il been
overlooked, for instance, by Japan,
which has erected It's own armor-mak-
ing plant aud surrounded it with such
secrecy that none Of the other nations
are able to tell whether or not at this
minute the japanese armor may not be
superior TO any other In existence. In
addition to Japan, the French govern.
ment, after experimenting with n fac.
tory capable Of producing only the
lighter weights Of armor, is cnlargng
its government plant 10 as to permit
Of the production Of thick plates, and
Russia has had it's own 0rmor.plate fac.
tory for some time

THE MARKETS


The general market in wheat is weak
today Eighty cents is the highest Of.
}crcd today. This weakness is but re.
rcflecting the general feeling of the
Chicago and Portland markets where
there has been a gradual decline for
the past week. While farmers are
holding for higher prices, there are so
many conditions entering into the situa.
ton, that the most expert wheat buyers
are up in the air. Anyhow, for the
past week. the bears have had the best
Of it. The market in all other lines is

Here's desk. boys, which you
can make and have all for your
own. It Is designed especially
for boys, and II you want to give
1t as present to an older per-
son you must put casters In the
legs In order to make 1t high
enough.
To begin with, 1t is q common
kitchen table, as illustrated by
Fig. 2. Our first work is to re-
move part of the top and one Of
the side rails. Study Fig. 1 and
this will be easy to understand.
1t is presumed that three boards
form the top Of the table and
that two are removed.
When this Is done and the long
side rail taken out we can build
In the false bottom, which will
be the top of the desk or writ
ing surface. This is easily done
by turning the table upside down
and mailing boards to the short
rails. A rail is that part of a
table that connects the legs at
the top.
Out of light lumber make
whatever compartments or pig
con holes you wish and tack them
In place. Four cigar boxes
might be rebuilt and used Cd
