LABOR AND LUMBER SHORTAGE
IS GRAVE

Tho complaints thus fur received
have established two facts: The
prlco OF wooden boxes has gone as
high as 81 apiece and In tho main
they are unobtainablc at any price.
Formerly they sold IN large quanti-
ties at from to 10 cents apiece.
Tho writer saw contract to-day FOR
100. 900 cases OF condensed milk for
the Red Cross to which there will be
an arbitrary added cost OF 100000 be-
cause the manufacturer was COM
PEELED to pay 20 cents additional for
each OF tho 100000 boxes and he was
lucky TO get them at that
| The labor complication has been
/ created by the cost plus" system
! The contractors are not restricted In
the expenditure OF money. They were
, told to go ahead and complete the
/ cantonments In the least possible
} time and that at the conclusion OF
, the Job the Government will award
them 10 per cent. of their eNpendl-
lures as their profit.
Naturally the contractors don't care
how much they spend. The moro they
spend. the more they make as theli
percentage of profits. Never in the
boom days OF munitlon manufacture
has there been such an imitation Of
wages as that which prevails in the

GAR THIEVES ARE
 FO|LED kT LAST

There seems to be good reason to believe that a way naS at last been found to foil the ubiquitous and per sistent car thief and that the number of stolen automobiles will soon appre- ciably diminish.
 Among the new features included on present Paige models is a patented gear shift lock which gives this car the distinction of being absolutely thief proof. Only by towing the car away can it be ,muved, against the wishes of the owner.
 That this is good news to motorists need scarcely be stared, for the theft of cars has reached extraordinary proportions
 In Detroit, for example, it is esti- mated that the value of cars stolen each day is about $1O,000. or more than s300000 a year; and reports from other cities are of a similar ma ture. So serious did the situation be- come in Chicago that a demand was made upon the police department to get busy and ameliorate the evil. if they could not wipe it out In view of the failure of the police and the encoura cement given various elements by the attitude of the courts. it has been put up to the car maker and car owner to find a way out An announcement, therefore, that a lock has been invented that is both practi- cal and completely effective will doubt less be warmly welcomed by the mo- torists
 The new Paige lock is an integral part of the transmission cover A hardened steel tube of massive size acts as the lock. This tube slides into enga cement with the change gear lever, which becomes locked solid. In this position it becomes impossible to nave the lever out of neutral and so engage the gears. The machine is locked safe against theft by a light shove with the foot on this steel tube. The key is necessary only for unlock ing.
 This original Paige feature is said to reduce theft insurance l5 per cent, besides giving the owner considerable peace of mind Only by taking up the floor boards and unbolting the

PEACE CONGRESS
 A FESTIVE AFFAIR
CKahsas City Journal.l

The only peace congress comparable to. the one that will follow this war, in the number of nations and great and conflicting Interests involved, was that which met in Vienna following the de- feat of Napoleon and his banishment to klba. It is interesting, in the light of what must come, to recall some of the features of that memorable gather ing at the court of Francis, in the Aus trian capital. .,-,.
 Present at the deliberations were the Austrian emperor, the czar of Russia, the kings of Prussia, Bavaria Wurt- temberg and Denmark, and nearly all the statesmen of prominence in Eu- rope. The duke of Wellington, Vic count Castlereagh, Lord Stewart, Count Clancarty and General Cathcart. repre- sented Great Britain. Prince Talley- rand de Perigord the duke Of Dal5erg ana Count Alexis de N1aillea -poEe f. r t'raIce. The Russian ear and PrI3- sian king were accompanied by their ablest advisers. Sweden, Norway. Pert ugal and all the minor German and Italian states were TeDreSenlCl. Only the United States and Turkey, among I at tl.at meer,ng.
 For weeks the delegates did little but indulge in a succession of festivities. The Austrian people were ruined, yet the Austrian emperor spent vast sums in the entertainment of his guests. Ludwig Von Beethoven presented sev- eral new compositions during this period, and assisted in the great mass which solem.nized the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. Prince Metternich presided at the councils. but Talleyrand was the leading spirit e the congress called Co remodel the map Of Europe

 Besides witnessing demonstration of the great strength and pulling power of the Nash Quad-the famous truck which drives, brakes and steers on all four wheels and has served the Unit ed States so well in Mexico and else where-m members of the commission enjoyed a ride in a new Nash Six tour ing car and sedan. General TZu and Commander Hen were outspoken in their admiration at the power and comfort afforded by these cars.
 According to the party, transporta- ton in China offers tremendous ob- stacles. Footpaths run everywhere through the rice fields and over the mountains, but the tread is for narrow sauged vehicles. Wagons and auto mobiles are virtually unknown in many sections of the Celestial Kingdom.
 Highway improvements of the most extensive character are necessary be- fore China becomes an active market for American motor cars and trucks. is the opinion of the commission.

RIGRSHAW PATHS

 NASH SIX SQUAD

Roads in China are notoriously bad Narrow footpaths for use of cookies with rickshaws and wheelbarrows make mp a system" of highways that has for years proved discouraging to the introduction of the automobile and other modern means of transportation.
 However. after a ride in a Nash Quad through mud and sand almost hub deep. up and down deep ditches and steep entertainments. Lieutenant General Ching Ting Tzu and Com mander Iii King Hen, of the Chinese army and navy respectively, agreed that road conditions in China hold no errors for Quad. They intimated that the Nash Quad would be recom- mended for use by the Chinese army.
 These distin guished Chinese off clals are at the head of a special com mission which was sent by the Chinese government to investigate American industrial methods. The party visited the big plant of the Nash Motors com pany, in Kenosha, Wis, among other largo factories. and expressed amaze mont at the size of the Nash institu- lion.
 Accompanying General Tzu was his
