(By George MARTINI

Washington, Sept. 19.-Suppose I'm
Gle Sam stepped up to you on the street
today and asked:
"Look here, son; | want you to build
me sixteen cities. Put them in v~ariaus
parts of the country. Plan each one for
a population Of 10000 men. Have heat
irg, lighting, water, ventilation, and
sewerage systems perfect in all of them,
finish them in three monts. That S your
Job, now go to it."
Would you know where to beginP
Would it excite you at all to realize
that every mistake you made meant
perhaps fatal delay in the training of
your country e armies for the war;
That proposition was put up to one
nan by Uncle Sam. He and his colleag-
ues shouldered the burden and did the
job.
The man was Major w. A. Starrett,
before the war an architect, now chair
man of the Committee on Emergency
Construction and Contracts Of the Coun-
ell of National Defense.
No such talks had ever been undertake

The One Man Was Found
Who Could Do a Big Job
Building the Army Camps

plated Major Starrett told the United
Press today, "the government provid-
ed a couple Of army officers and steno.
graphers to do the job"
"Word had gone out that work was
going on and every contractor in the
country was here. As a result, all those
men did was to stand in front of the
desk and shake hands all days.
"We told the munitions board these
people would have to be taken out and
that the c%antOnment men would have to
be let alone.
Accordingly the next morning the
men were brougt to the Munscy building
with their records. We Immediately saw
the need for the finest men we could
get, so we reached into the big engin-
oering organizations all over the country
by wire and telephone.
owe asked them to send big men.
We got big men. / could name you a
list of twenty-five men we got who
were worth $4,000 to $25, 900 a year.
''We said to those concerns: fYou
will have to give these people up. We
face an emergency. They periodically
gave them up.
"Then and there, I've about two
days and nights solid conference work

with all these people we built up a great
organization Under Colonel Little of the
war department.
"Inside of four days we had the or
ganization in skeleton. Everything was
worked out with the object of speed
and economy. That machine constitutes
about 250 people occupying a whole
building and working anywhere from
~ to 10 hours a day. We looked around
to see what the government had in the
way of a register Of contractors. 1t
did not have anything for us. We asked
the American Institute of Architects,
the chief engineers of all the railroads
and big industrial establishments, who
the reliable people were they had been
dealing with. In ten days we had 1900
replies, giving us a list of about 1000
contracting firms. We put the list in
charge of Mr.. McGibbon of the Chicago
Fidelity and Guaranty company. He de-
termined that contracts throughout the
country were doing $5,000,0O0 a year
business. There were about 100. These
we separated and cross-referenced them
geographically, this gave us sixty or
seventy concerns based on their proxim-
ity to the sixteen military divisions of
the country. We considered our prefer
red contractors by these geographical
groups. We got what the architects and
engineers said about each man, and
what each man said about himself and
what others said about him. Thus when
we. came to the selection we had the
available, competent firms and their re-
spective records before us.
The applicants really selected them
selves.
Secretary Baker sent us a communi-
cation saying all things being equal to
pick the contractors from the locality
in which the camp was to be located.
That was common sense. We were in a
position to do what he suggested.
"You feel then, it was asked, ''that
everything humanity possible was done
Il. safeguard the interest of both the
government and the public in the selec-
ton of these contractors?"

VIM Oakland Model "a
Is the Sensible Six

Look at the Oakland Six now on
display at Halvorsen G. Burns, from
any angle, study it as a complete ma
chine, or as a thing of many separate
units-whatever your viewpoint, this
car appeals to your common sense. 1t
satisfies your desire for good invest
ment, for power, comfort, and perform
ance, for attractive lines and distinct
i've s%tyle-and it does all this at a cost
which good judgment tells you is a
sensible price.
The new Oakland model is sensible
because it is a six. 1t has the flexibility
and power linked with simplicity of
construction and ecopomy of operation
which users of cars have found to be
best obtained in this type motor.
1t is sensible because it is a power

full car. The Oakland six motor devel-
ops Al h. p. at $500 R. P. NJ. 1t gives
l h. p. to every SO pounds of car weight
and this is greater proportionate pow
er than is given in any other stock car
we know of.
1t is sensible because it has a high
speed, overhead valve motor. High
speed motor means economy, flexibil-
ity, and power at the speeds you use
most. Valve in head construction means
greatest efficiency Of fuel, and in the
sensible six it means unusual accessi-
bility of valves and cylinders.
1t is sensible because it is a light
weight ear. The sensible six weighs
2150 pounds, yet it is a big, powerful,
easy riding car, strongly and rigidly
built throughout. This insures econo-
my of tires and fuel.
1t is sensible because it is a very
roomy car. The wheelbase is 1l2 inches
and because the motor is compact, the
body of the sensible six is extra long.
There is 6 inches more leg room than
in our big model 80, the seats are wild
err and the sides are higher.
1t is sensible because of its wonde--
tires-32x4, long, semi-elliptic, 81 inch
rear springs anu noi0aoou "n00loa0o
have greatly improved the road action
of the new model, and make it n
of the most comfortable and easy rid
ing cars ever built.
1t is sensible because Of its low cost
of operation. The Oakland six will con-
sistently give its owners from is to
~ miles of travel to every gallon of
fuel. Because the tires are bigger than
needed for the weight of the EAR, tire
mileage is much above the average.
1t is sensible because it has "made
good Model "a is not an experiment,
but a known quantity-the product of
time tested experience and actual road
service. 1t is a continuation of and i'm
provement upon the Oakland model 81,
which is being used today by more
than $4,000 highly satisfied owners.

Press Agents Raped
by Los Angeles Editor

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1S.-Prob-
lens which must puzzle the newspaper
man today are those which puzzle hlm
when the newspapers came into being,
Harry E. Andrews, managing editor OF
the Los Angeles Times, said today in
an address on "New Newspaper Prob
lcms,r delivered before the Goth an
nual meeting of the Southern California
Editorial association.
"There ain t none,' said MIR. An
Grews, who discussed the subject IN a
vein of pleasantly, declaring that the
news print problem was the most yeX-
atious thing that troubled the first
newspaper publisher in California; that
the competition problem harrassed the
first newspaper printed in America, and
that the libel suit problem got the see
ond newspaper published in America
into Jail.
Mr.. Andrews attacked the space
stealing "'publieity agents. and blam-
ed editors who let them smuggle puff
ferv into their papers in the gulse OF
alleged news. He declared that the press
agents had stolen a million dollars from
tie publishers of Southern California,
and are now more numerous and "a
pacious than ever. q
Mr.. Andrews severely criticized the
Red Cross for employing press agents
''to prey upon newspapers. He assert
ed that if publishers would stiffen up
and solve this space stealing problem
ether problems would solve themselves,
He also discussed newspaper taxes and
complained bitterly of the attitude of
the Washington leaders toward the
newspapers. He said the country news
papers never had so much influence and
such high standing as they have today.

OBJECT OF MEETING
Farmers Patriotism Broad
Enough to Make Up for
Others Lack of It

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 1S.-"Farmers
and wage earners are willing and ready
to support any law hat makes for the
success of this war for liberty and de.
mocraey.'
That is the answer of President A. c.
Townley of the National Non Partisan
league, to the charges that the farmers
are holding wheat and resisting the
food administration because the price
fixed by the government was less than
expected. 1t was also his answer to
charges that farmers of the northwest
are not intellectually behind the war.
He sounded the keynote at the produc-
ers and consumers conference on the
high cost of living here today.
Governor Lynn Frazier of North Da-
kota presided. Senator Gronna, one of
the "wilful twelve" is the leading
speaker on tonight program.
"The farmers patriotism is big
enough and broad enough to make up
for the war profiteers' lack of patriot
ism and manhood; and, if necessary,
the farmer will go on producing food
for less than cost, even with profits
Vultures clutching at his throat; he
will feed the world and its armies of
freedom to make the whole world safe

declared.

to aid, strengthen and support the gov
eminent and expedite its efforts to
finish its program to reduce prices.

Three MORE GAMES
FOR GIANTS TO WIN.
American League Leaders
Only Require Seven More
Victorious Clashes
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Sept. 19-Just three more
victories for the Giants and the Ma
tional league 1917 pennant race will lie
over.
And by the same kind of figuring
the White Sox need only seven more
contests to make it impossible for the
Red Sox to head them off.
The Giants today are ahead of the
Phillies by twelve and a half games.
with fourteen more games remaining
on their schedule. The Phillies must
still play fifteen. If the Phillies win
fifteen straight thew will wind up
the season with 80 victories and 60 de-
feats, which would give them a per
centage of sos. If the giants win three
more they would have a percentage of
$40 at the end of the season, if they
lost all their other games.
The White Sox are out in front by
eight full games, with eleven contests
left. The he'd Sox have seventeen to
play before it is a seasons work. If
the Chicagoans win seven more the
lowest possible percentage they could
finish with would be 1862. The Red
Sox, by winning II in a row could fin
ish with a mark of 900.
The Red Sox are hanging on tight.
They are winning just as consistently
of late as are the White Sox, but they
are billed with the stronger teams Of
the league now and will have to fight
harder to maintain an unbroken string
of victories.
The Giants are practically through
with the hard knocks, When they fin
ish with Chicago they go to P%ittsburg.
