SPEEDING SHIPS

It now takes the Emergency Ship Building Cor
.poration about 100 days turn out vessel 1t is
claimed that our government is too fussy in insisting
that vessels pass all the tests required in time OF
peace. If our requirements could be the same as
the British it said vessel could be turned out in
ninety days.
But the most rigid boiler tests are required and
there have to be extensive quarters for the crew. AT
a time when the submarines are sinking SO many
ships, it seems a mistake to be too stiff Crews
could get along with less extensive quarters at
time when our troops will need supplies so badly
The labor problem is the great difficulty in the
,yav Of faster production Different estimates are
made of the number of needed varying from
10000 to 100000. Apparently about all experience
ed ship builders have been put to work
But the ship building companies get many ap-
plcations from workmen without ship building ex-
-perence yet who are skilled mechanics. These men
have applied not because they need the work, but
in response to the call of the government 1t would
seem good business and good war policy to put them
to work at once. But it is reported that some OF
the ship building companies slow about putting
these men on and keep putting them off to a later
date.
man who is skilled as mechanic in other
lines ought to take up ship building quickly. 1t is
rather rough work, not requiring fine mastery of
detail We must have the ships, and considerations
OF private profit cannot be allowed to govern. 1t
would seem wise to be breaking in lot of these men
all the time. The faster the companies break them
in. the ships they launch and the more money
they make, too.

THE GIFT CUSTOM

The Christmas gift custom has been two sided
one. First there is the lovely spirit Of making other
people happy. Nothing you receive yourself be-
gins count like the satisfaction of giving happi-
ness to some other person. particularly IL that
is having a hard rub to get along Then Christmas
is always the day of childhood. The best fun comes
when you sparkle in the faces of the Riddles
1t is amazing how creaky ointed old boy of seventy
feels himself lmbering up he distributes a bunch
of jack knives and dolls to a bunch of tumultous
youngsters
The other side of Christmas is more convention
al and altogether stereotyped There are people
that have a gift list of hundred or more people
to be remembered BY the time the last package is
done up with red ribbon and holly stickers, they
feel about ready for at sanitarium.
Many people look their gifts with codly
appraisng eye and the amount they spend is just
about proportioned to what they get. That is but
fake Christmas.
In this year of war, Christmas should have
distinctive appropriate character 1t is interest
ing in looking stocks in the stores of Logan
to note how practical the modern idea of Christmas
is getting. Our merchants are doing their best to
convert the public to that habit. They would like
to see their customers buy goods of solid worth that
will be useful in the household.
The thing to do then is not to select costly nov
elites that are merely pretty to look at. People
should inquire around to find out what their friends
would like in their daily lives and then they should
anticipate those wants 1t is with real satisfaction
that one receives gift that kind, for it always fits

duction, but to do it economically;
to do IL at very little cost, by turn

Fowls are the only medium thru
which a good deal of this waste can
be transformed into valuable food
product.

MISS RANKIN MAKES
HER MAIDEN SPEECH
Obtains Food Bill Amendment in Less
Than Five Minutes.

"oman's work was the rnrrr- o. Miss
Jeannette Rankin's maiden speech yes
lerday In tho House OF Representatives.
me CongressWoman from Montana was
Visibly nervous, but cheers and applause
spurred her one. She not only made her
speech, but offered an amendment to the
Lever FOOD survey bill all in five minutes.
This amendment read:
Provided, That the Secretary OF Agri-
culture shall so far as is practicable en-
gage the services Of women for the work
herein provided for"
The work indicated is food conserva-
ton, elimination OF waste and increased
production as carried in the bill The
sum OF $4,000 is set aside for these
purposes.
Miss Rankins speech came as A sur
prise. She has paid close attention to
votes on the floor, but has made no pub
no utterance except before the Woman
suffrage committee. When Representa-
tive Hamlin. OF Missouri, who tempo
rariIy occupied the chair, recognized the
CongressWoman as the lady from Mon

house became suddenly silent and atten-

CAN TAKE FOOD CENSUS
in ABOUT THREE WEEKS
Department of Agriculture Can Speed
Work with 10000 Reporters"

Two or three weeks is the limit set
oy Secretary of Agriculture Houston
Tor the taking of a rood census. He
gave this estimate yesterday afternoon
lust after being Informed that the
House had passed the first of the Lever
food bills, which are administration
measures.
Another point emphasized by Secre-
tary Houston was that there seemed to
be a popular misconception as to the
cost OF taking the food census. Half a
million dollars is the high-water mark,
because most of the machinery for
making a food survey is part of the
Department of AgricuIture's organiZa-
tion. In the taking of the census,
postmasters, State food organizations,
and other local agencies will be EN-
ployed.
Although Secretary Houston's esti-
mates OF Sls.5O0,000 were cut to Sl4.-
$4,000, S2,So0,00O was contained in
items which would not materially af-
feet the work of the department.
Explaining how the Department Of
Agriculture could take a food census
so quickly and at such a small cost.
Secretary Houston recalled that the de-
partment had 150,0O reporters" who
collect the data for the various crop
estimates. These men are located In
every section of the country and will
be one of the greatest aids in deter
mining just what food stocks there are
in every section.

Portland Me, May 2.-A revival OF

brought about by the war Many of the
old shipyards along the coast from Kit

They had expressed the belief that the

which, they said. could be constructed
more cheaply and more quickly than
