NAVAL STORES NOT
LIKELY De SEIZED
INDUSTRY MUST BE SUBORDINAT-
ED. HOWEVER, TO THE NEEDS
OF THE GOVERNMENT OPERA
TORS ARE TOLD.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. S.-Navai
stores interests in this section will
not suffer in any perceptible degree
from government seizures of timber
for building purposes, according to
the leading men of the trade in Sa-
vannah
The government has in some in
stances confscated turpentine con-
tracts in Texas and Louisiana, where
there are vast lumber companies, and
the beginning of the new year is ex-
pected to see an even greater seizure
in order that the American fighting
fleet and merchant marine may be en-
larged.
The United States Shipping Board
Emergency Fleet Corporation has been
asked to define its attitude toward the
possible radical decline of the naval
store market. Through W. j. Haynen,
assistant general prchasing officer, it
has giy2I this reply to the Weekly
Naval Stores Review:
I'VE are in receipt of your letter OF
the nth, addressed to the secretary
Of the National Defense Board, in
which you ask that we advise you what
our attitude is toward the naval stores
interests.
il, h. T1rnuinpn nf
this Office to pass upon any contro-
versy that may arise between the lun-
her companies of the south and the
laval stores interests. That is obvi-
Gus for the reason that we do not
anticipate that the splendid spirit of
patriotism that has permeated the en-
tire country will permit any business
interests Of whatever nature to stand
upon mere technicalities as to possible
rights and duties embraced in their
Icontractual relations, where each par
ty is striving for the same end and
committed to the same cause.
1T had as well be definitely under
stood, however, that the most impor-
tant undertaking in which our gov
eminent is engaged or likely to be
engaged is that branch of activity Gov
erred by the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration. The sawmills of the country
are engaged in the stupendous under
taking of producing every possible
timber that will pass inspection for
shipbuilding. If this important task
should bring them into controversy
with turpentine interests or any
other interests, it will certainly not
be permitted that they shall be inter-
fered with in the production of ship
building timbers."

Two little
pie-crust secrets

Here are two practical pie-crust
hints. They were given to us by a
cook whose wholesome Cottolene
pie-crdSt was tender and Aaky treat.
Hint No. 1. Always chop your
shortening into the fourwithknives.
Don't mix it in with your hands.
Hint No. 2. Always keep your
shortening and your dough as cold
as possible.
Just forgetting the money-saving
in using Cottolene, why don't you
compare your economical Cottolene
pie-crust with your very best pie
crust made with half of butter?"
If you follow your own recipe,
De sure TO use one-third less of Cotto-
lene than you ordinarily use of other
shortening. Cottolene goes farther
because it is richer.
A great many particular women
who used to use part butter are now
using wholesome Cottolene alone
to make tender, haky pie-crust.
But perhaps you would like to try
the recipe below. You'll need:
X cups flour y teaspoon baking powder
u teaspoon salt Ice water = cup Cotolene
For method start at picture No. /.
