CONTROL OF AMERICAN
EXPORTS is AUTHORIZED
Policy Will Be Formulated Directing
Shipping-Fuels and FOOdstuffs Are
Principal Items of Embargo.

Control of American exports, au4
thorized in a clause Of the espionage
bill, was assumed Monday by Presi-
dent Wilson with the appointment OF
an export council. The organization
of the council will be completed this
week and a series of proclamations
will follow and put the law into active
operation. The law is designed to
prevent shipments of coal and fuel,
unless the government is given q good
reason for such shipments.
Proclamations will follow and name
commodities which may not be shipped
anywhere without license. The first
Of these to be designated will be cere-
ais and foodstuffs. Every precaution
will be taken to prevent supplies from
reaching Germany through neutral
countries in Europe.
President Wilson'S statement IN the
matter is as follows;
"Our primary duty in the matter Of
foodstuffs and like necessaries is TO.
see to it that the peoples associated
with US in the war get as generous
a proportion as possible of our sur
plus; but 1t will also be our wish and
purpose to supply the neutral nations
whose peoples depend upon US for such
supplies as nearly in proportion to
their need as the amount to be divid7f
ed permits. ,
"There will thus be little check put
upon volume Of exports, and the pric.
es obtained for them will not be aiteet-
ed by this regulation. :,
"This policy will be carried out, not
by prohibitive regulations, therefore,
5Hs BY a. system Of licensing exports,
Which will be as simply organized and
administered as possible 80 as to con-
stitute no impeachment to the normal
flow Of commerce. In brief, the free
play of trade will not be arbitrarilwl
interfered with; it will only be intel
ligently and systematically directed in
the light of full information with re-
CARDS to needs and market conditions
throughout the world and the neces~
saries Of our people at home and our
armies and the armies or our assist
ants abroad.
'The government is taking, or has
taken, steps to ascertain, for example,
just what the available present supply
of wheat and corn is remaining from
the crops of last year; to learn from
each of the countries exporting these
foOdstuffs from the United States
what their purchases in this country
now are, and where they are stored,
and what their needs are, in order that
we may adjust things so far as posi-
bic to our own needs and free stocks;
and this information is, of course, be-
ing rapidly supplied.
1.-THE case of wheat and corn will
serve as an Illustration of the rest of
supplies Of all kinds. Our trade can
be successfully and proftably con-
Quoted now, the war pushed to a VIC
torious issue and the needs of our own
people and of the other peoples with
whom we are still free to trade eff
ficiently met only by systematic direc-
ton; and that is what will be at
tempted" sN

HOW CAN WHEEL BE
FLAT AND ROUND TOO
Learned Street Car Man Eluoi-
dates the Perplexing Cues
ton to Mr.. Groh.
NOW HE KNOWS REASON
By A. r. GRoH,

Why are fiat wheels"
This winter weather has made them
plentiful. They pounded on my ears
so much that ! propounded the above
question to street railway man.
He was very learned man. Oh,
very learned, indeed. And witty, too.
Almost as witty as myself.
He answered me scientifically
metalurgically. polysyllabically and
silly-logically, =,
There are really no fiat wheels"
he began with a smile,
Pardon me-" said. but out where
live you can hear the wild fiat wheel
calling to its mate both by day and
by night"
Nevertheless he persisted. and
strictly speaking, there are no Hat
wheels. Ii they were fat they would
not be wheels, don't you see? And,
vice versa, as long as they are wheels
they cannot be fat. The terms are
mutually contradictory, You get my
thought"
"Some thought exclamation
pointed,
Or Square Circle.
"You see, we might just as well talk
OF square circle or round triangle
as of fat wheel" he rambled on.
Eyes, or of an intelligent interview
with certain people" appended, not
without subtle wit and innuendo.
He was silent, eying me suspic-
iously.
"You know what | mean" said,
following up my advantage, II am
speaking of wheels commonly known
as fiat wheels, sometimes found on
street cars and which come up the
street, punctuating the circumambient
atmosphere with dull bump-bump-
bumps against the patient rails"
"Ah, now | grasp your meaning,
said my witty little friend. "You re-
fer to wheels, round wheels, on whose
periphery there is, at some point, a
slight flatness.'
"Your perspicacity and perspicuity
are perfect" | said. "Now, elucidate,
please Why are fat wheels3"
Wheels Slide.
81 will tell you," he said. "ln such
weather as we've been having this
winter, the rails are often slippery
When the cars are stopped suddenly
the brakes sometimes lock the wheels
and they slide along the rail for a
few feet or yards.
with several tons of weight on
each wheel, you can imagine the
grinding that they get against the
rails. That is what makes them fiat. =
is there any cure for fiat wheels?'
| asked.
"If the grinding hasn't gone
through the outer surface of chilled
steel, the wheels can be ground down
to perfect roundness," he said. But
if the grinding has penetrated through
that little layer of chilled steel, the
wheel is ruined and must be dis
carded. Rectifying Of fatness III
wheels is constantly going on"
Il thanked him warmly for hi
mastery elucidation Of subject tha
had been puzzling me.
He protested that no thanks wert
needed, that conversation with me
was in itself ample reward for any
slight service he might have rendered
And SO we parted with mutual ex
pressions of respect.
