FORD TOLWE HERE
WHILE AIDING u. S.
INBUILD|NG SHIPS

Henry Ford. best known automobile
manufacturer in the world and expert
in quantity production and Standard
zation, is to pit his genius against the
U-boat.
Ford will begin next week on the
task essayed by Mai. Gen. George W.
GoethaIs-the production of ships In
great numbers to defeat the subma-
rine menace
Mr.. Ford will take up his residence
in Washington to become assistant to
Charles Piez. vice president Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, who
has taken over the task of pushing
ship construction.
One OF the greatest problems Of
ship construction has been the secur-
ing Of the necessary engines and
power plants in quantity to meet all
needs. This problem will be tackled
by the motor king, who Is ready to
turn his entire organization and his
manufacturing facilities over to the
Government to aid In winning the
war.
In addition, Mr.. Ford IL prepared to
give thought to other war problems.
He does not believe in the curtailmsnt
OF "non-essentiar" industry to con-
serve the supply of coal and other
raw materials. He is convinced that
the solution lies In increasing produc-
ton of these materials to meet all
needs, and keep everything going full
steam ahead. He is cherishing an
idea for the automatic handling of
coal from the mines to speed produc-
tion 30 that all needs may be met.
He would administer the railroad
problem to meet the practical needs
Of the country without hampering
them with ironbound regulations that
cannot bet set aside In case Of neees-
sity.

SPEAKER CLARK
OUTLINES WORK ,
Of NEW SESSION

Speaker Champ Clark, in an inter
view today with a representative OF
The Times, discussed few possibili-
ties which will confront Congress at
Its next session.
"wm Congress declare war on Aus
tria and Turkey this winterT' the
Speaker was asked.
"well. I see Roosevelt declared war
on them today" said the Speaker,
with the shadow OF a smile. That
ought to settle It. Yes, / reckon that
settles It."
What about appropriations"
They will not be as large this ses-
sion as they were last" said Speaker
Clark. 81 have no reason to think
they will be as great. A number OF
the things for which We appropriated
last session will not have to be ap-
propriated for again, such as ships
fortifcations, and so on. Yet some
thing might happen to change the
whole situation.
Much General Legislation.
ain addition to war legislation. gen
eral legislation will be considered.
said he. There will be a thousand
different things to be taken up. The
chief item will be appropriation bills
and revenue bills. There are fourteen
great appropriation bills to be han
died. In the short session such bills
are given little attention, but In the
long session they are picked to pieces
md examined with care.
Two constitut ional amendments
will be up for consideration These
are the prohibition and suffrage
amendments. Neither ought to re-
quire over a day apiece"
"WnI the prohibition amendment be
submitted?"
81 don't know. I haven't looked
into the matter enough to tell. 1t
was clear that it would not be voted
on last session and there was no use
crossing the bridge until one came
to It.
Debate IL Wasting Time.
"As for the discussion OF these two
amendments on the floor, everything
has been said about each one OF them
that can be said and / see no use in
wasting time in debate on them"
Once more the Speaker emphasized
his view there was nothing the mat
ter with the West in respect to the
war.
THE stories about the West being
for Germany were all cock-and-
bull tales in the first place." he said
There's nothing the matter with the
West. The entire West Is loyal and
wishes to see the war pressed to vic
torious termination"

When the Craft b Swamped.

In reasonably still waters one man
or boy can bail out an upset canoe,
There are two good methods rocking
it out and showing it out. In the first
swim around to the stern of the canoe
and get out the water inside, rocking
from side to side SO that il lops out at
each reverse. AS soon as enough is
out to give her good freeboard get
aboard over her stern and dash out the
rest with your hands.
Showing the water out also depends
on the momentum of Il body of water
Swim astern and. grasping the stern
breasthook, give her smart pull to-
ward you. The water will slop out
in a torrent over her bows. Then
shove away from you with all your
strength, and the water will come rush.

of living.
1t has been statistically estimated
that If only one slice of bread was

would equal 625.000 pounds and would
cost approximately $4,000.

Too Much Mea. as Bad as Toe Little.

Too much meat is as bad for the
body as too little" we are told in the
Woman's Home Companion. During
the digestion of meats, fish and eggs,
acids are formed. In order to prevent
the accumulation of too much of this
acid in the system 1t is necessary to
eat also fresh vegetables and fruits,
which have properties that neutralize
the acids formed by the meat This is
one reason why meat and potatoes are
usually served together. 1t is safer to
have too little meat than to eat too
little fruit and too few vegetables"
