Howard f. Coffin. chairman of the
Committee on Industrial Preparedness,
and one OF the leaders of the American
automobile industry, in outlining the far
reaching plans of his committee, de-
clared:
1T is vitality necessary that American
industry be made aware of the part 1t
must play in the national defense. Our
whole conception of warfare has been
changed almost overnight. We are con-
fronted with the necessity of interlock-
ing the military and industrial elements
of our national life into great working
organization for the national defense.
1t is that which we are about to do.
THE European war has driven home
to US that battles are now won not
alone by fighting men, but by the fight
ing industries of a nation. 1t has all
come down to which country can fastest
and longest supply the munitions of war
to the men on the fighting line. 1t has
come down to the question of which
country can fastest and in the greatest
quantity supply shells to the guns-to
speak of only one item of modern war
fare. 1t has come even to the point
over sea, where the women of all classes
the wives and daughters of all classes
are going into the mills and factories at
Saturday noon and working in seven
hour shifts until midnight of Sunday. in
order that the mills may not be closed
down during the day, in accordance with
the agreement made by organized labor
as to the period of rest
Now. when warfare gets down to this
basis, 1t becomes not merely question
Of the ability of army and navy heads;
there Is brought into action every bit
of industrial brains of country in
arms. We here in America must organ
ize, and organize from now on, behind
the men Of the army and navy"
Shell Order Looked simple.
Bascom Little, president of the Cleve-
land (Ohiol, Chamber of Commerce and
chairman of the national defense COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, said
THE thing that has stirred up the
business men of the Middle West during
the past eighteen months has been the
lesson they have learned in the making
or war materials. 1t points very vivid
moral to all our people. 1t all looked
very easy when 1t started a year and a
half ago.
The plant with which am associated
in Cleveland got an order for 2jO,Oco
3-inch high explosive shells 1t was a
simple enough looking job. just a ques-
ton of machining The forgings were
shipped to us and we were to finish and
deliver. 1t began to dawn on us when
the forgings came that this whole order,
that looked so big to us, was less than
one days supply of shells for France or
England or Russia, and We felt that in
eight months by turning our plant, which
Is a first-class machine shop, onto this
job we could fill the order In a little

and those, about half our order. are not
complete. They still have to be fitted
by the fuse maker, then fitted in the
brass cartridge cases with the propelling
charge, and somewhere, sometime. may
be. they will get on the battlefield of
Europe"

Biggest Bridge Near Comnlstion.

What Is undoubtedly the longest double
decked. ACCOMPLISHMENTS bridge in
America Is now nearing completion at
Cleveland, where it crosses the Cuyahoga
River emPtying into Lake Erie and con-
meets the east and west sides of the city.
It has a length OF ESQ feet and a width
Of eighty feet, while at its highest point
it is 800 feet above the water The center
arch, which Is built of structural steel,
has length Of 5s1 feet and Is exceeded
in size by only a few single-arch spans
in this country. The bridge has been car
ried to height sufficiently great to en-
able the largest ships navigating the
Great Lakes to pass beneath 1t without
interference.
When the river is at its normal stage,
the structure gives a clearance of ninety
six feet. The lower deck will be re-
served for the use OF surface-traction
lines aud will provide space for six
tracks. The upper level will accommo-
date both vehicular traf1c and pedes-
TRANS. In constructing the long series
Of arches supporting the Structure, tenn
porary steel arches were erected to hold
the concrete forms in position until the
material had set sufficiently to permit
their removal. Interesting illustrations
showing the bridge in course of construc-
ton appear in the April Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

Lightning Rods on Straw.

For several years an Iowa farmer has
protected his straw stacks with light
ming rods in the same manner that he
protects his farm buildings. The uprights
on stack are supported on a footboard
which runs the full length OF the stack,
along the ridge The rods are grounded
through gas pipes the lower ends of
which are buried deep in the earth. This
apparatus is used from year to year.
When stack is to be removed the
cable and rods are rolled up and put
aside until new stack has been built
The device can be quickly and easily
Installed. Though twelve trees on this
farm and three barns on neighboring
farms have been struck by lightning in
recent years, the barns and stacks on
this farm have so far enjoyed complete
immunity from damage by lightning

Vital Necessity OF Securing Minute Details of All Factories and Other
Commercial Houses in United States Pointed Out by
Leaders in This Work

With the full authority of President
Wilson and the Secretary of the Navy
the Associated Advertising Clubs Of the
World, touching American business at
practically every point, have placed their
entire organization squarely behind the
nationwide plans of the Committee on
industrial Preparedness of the naval con-
sulting board of the United States.
The advertising men, under the lead.
ership of Herbert S. Houston, president
and specially appointed committee of
leading publishers and advertising ex-
perts, will shortly start an advertising
campaign in the newspapers and maya
zines OF America In support of the work
OF the committee on Industrial prepared
ness, which embraces an organization
of 5000 highly trained engineers, form
ed for the purpose of making a thorough
inventory OF American industry for the
first time in national history.

Examine Peach Buds Now.

Every Pennsylvania fruit grower who
has not examined his peach. plum and
apricot buds should do so at once as
many have been frozen and the season s
plans may have to be altered. Sheldon
w. F>ung, farm adviser expert on fruits,
has examined orchids in several OF the
southeastern counties OF the State and
declares that he was surprised to find
what a great percentage of the buds have
been killed. Mr. Funk says:
"All the apricot buds, together with
some varieties of plum buds that I ex-
amined. have been destroyed entirely. In
one peach orchard the buds were all kill
ed. but in most cases the percentage of
frozen buds runs from % to 70 per cent,
depending upon the varities. elevation
and general vigor OF the trees. This is,
of course. sufficient for a good crop, II no
further injury is received.
In no section that l have examined
did the temperature drop lower than 4
degrees below zero. and I had not ex-
pected to find so much damage. There is
a possibility that the excessive rainfall,
together with heavy cropping last sum
mer. caused the buds to go into the DOR
mant stage in a weakened condition, but
1 believe that the greatest part of the
damage was primarily caused by the ex-
tremely warm spells which he had this
winter. The warm weather undoubtedly
started SAP circulation. to a certain ex-
tent, which would cause the buds to
freeze at a much higher temperature than
is ordinarily the case. This theory is
further strengthened by the fact that
where the buds are not SO much exposed
to the direct rays of the sun, the injury
does not appear so great
1T is time to buy your fertilizers and
your arssnicals for next season, as the
indications are that these materials will
still increase in price. If your buds are
all frozen You will want to change some
of your plans. and would lose no time
in making a careful examination. -

ORR INADEQUATE POLICE FORCE.

NH1EF OF POLICE BLACK has asked for more
~ patrolmen He asserts. and with seeming soou
reason that it Is unreasonable 10 expect him to proeo
our city and its people properly with such small
force as ne has at command.
In his annual report to the Board Of Police Com
missioners the Chief says he has fewer than eighty
atrlen for street work in a city of 100000 nhabi-
tants That is only patroman to each looO OF
nopulation As he views it, there should be one TOT
each 1000 of population. If his suggestion We're car
,.,ed IN, IL would mean an increase Of one-third in
the street patrol force. 49,
Certainly. II Chief Black is TO be held responsiDle
for the peace and safety OF our community ne Snou'u
have at his command force OF men sufficiently large
to enable him to the work as it ought TO De done
II will cost some money TO do It, but the law-aoidns
citizens cannot afford resort to system OF economy
which works TO the comfort safety and wepeihs Oh
the law-defying elements.
The Police Commissioners should act upon the advice
nj their executive officer and in conjunction with
other officials provide him with force OF men sufh-
cientlv large to enable him TO successfully with
all forms or lawlessness.

vrsIrY AM Irs TROUBLES.

TT IS exceedingly unfortunate that the congregation
OF wesley NJ. E. church. in this city. is being
racked and rent by the Of Of its trustees who
is not and has not BEEN in accord with the practices
and poiices OF the pastor the Rev George A. Cooke,
and who has taken no pains TO conceal the fact
Such church fights and trials usually result in little
more than an aggravaon and intensihcaton Of the
discord and ultimate disruption with much attendant
harm. In the Wesley case, attracting much
public attention it is altogether likely that if the
trouble had handled diplomatcay at the outset
there would have been trial and the church would
have been spared its present humiliation
We understand that several members Of the church,
incensed because OF existing conditions have with
drawn Wesley and gone elsewhere for religious af
nation To what such Withdrawals will spread
there no way OF telling the present time. In any
there is widespread regret that the trouble in
church. the fundamental cause for which TO
be well understood by the Methodist clergy and iaity
has assumed such bitter and sensational form.
Wesley has within it such forces for potential good
that its members should permit them to be diverted
OF misused for the benefit OF anyone They should
hold TO the principle that the church its welfare
are too important 10 be sacrificed because OF wha
was at the outset narrowly ycircumscrhed and clearly
defined quarrel between pulpit and pew. The member
OF Wesley have remedy for the trouble in their
hands They apply it, fearlessy and impartiall'
for the welfare OF religious institution that has bee
SO near and so dear to them and for the upbuidng
which they have made such great and such willin
sacrifices OF time. interest and money.
