Not Easy to Get Recruits.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Perhaps the
most serious situation confronting the
United States Navy is the difficulty OF
getting recruits. Because Of the short
age in men, most of our good ships
are now picked" WITH skeleton
crews board to keep them from rust
ing away.
Every time battleship Of the latest
type is placed in commission, TWO OF
three battle&hips Of the preceding
type, though perfectly serviceahle
must be put out of commission to
man the new vessel. BY way Of illus
tration. it may be stated that Of thirty
seven capital ships now belonging to
the navy, capable of service and not
obsolete, only fourteen are in commis-
sion.
The last naval act authorized the
increase Of the enlisted men oe the
navy to $4,000. In spite of strenC-
Gus exertions, it has not been possible
to get any more men in the navy,
broadly speaking, this year than there
were last. What is the reason? Why.
simply this, that young man who
can make several dollars day work
ing in civil life is not likely to on
list for his board and clothes and SIS
a month.
There is a growing belief that it
will be impossible to bring the navy to
even the minimum essential Of pre-
paredness without increasing tie com
pensation of the enlisted man to a
point approXimating what he could
earn, above his board and raiment, In
civil employment.

Wood Substituti0nS
Are Increasing


Twenty-Five years ago lumber was
regarded as almost as much Of ne
cessity as wheat, while today 1t Is
steadily being replaced by various
substitutes, says report by the For
est Service on "The Substitution Of
Other Materials for Wood" just off
the press. Disregarding the tempo
rary effect of the war, with its sud-
den demand for lumber and its great
enhancement of prices of many sub
stitute materials, the report points
out the tendency in the long run.
Each year more steel, concrete, brick
or tile is being used in places where
lumber was formerly employed. This
Is particularly true in cities where
enactment of building codes aud the
development of new forms Of con-
struction have created demand for
more durable building material.
Shingles have given way largely to
composition and tile roofings, wood

Dredge three pounds of brisket
generously with flour and scar until
brown in hot pan, using little fat.
Place scared meat in kettle and add
about three cups of boiling water.
Add vegetables and seasoning. Let
cook on back of stove below boiling
point about four hours.
Swiss Steak.
Get three pounds of the bottom of
the round out about two inches thick.
Lay on several thicknesses of paper,
salt it, and pound into each side with
edge of heavy saucer just as much
flour as 1t will hold (about two
cups). Put into frying pan with a
couple of tablespoons of hot suet and
scar it brown on both sides. Cover
with boiling water, put on lid, set
pan on back of stove or in oven and
cook slowly two hours. Add more
water if necessary. This will make
its own gravy and the meat will be
excellent.
Stuffed Skirt or Flank Steak.
Three pounds of skirt or flank
steak; two cups of bread crumbs;
two tablespoons of fat, and peper,
salt, sage or parsley. Mix the bread
crumbs and seasoning with the melt
ed fat. Spread over the steak. Roll
tightly and tie with twine. Scar in

one-half cup of hot water, cover and
bake in hot oven for one hour.

dependent upon the lumber industry
for their living.
Lumbermen have felt, it is said,
the effect of the replacement of their
product by other materials, but have
not realized the extent to which it
had taken place. They have failed
to adopt aggressive selling methods
and have been unable to supply the
consumer with reliable information
regarding lumber, because they did
not have it. A complicated system
of grades is in use which is not intel
ligible to the average consumer and
is even the subject of considerable
dispute among lumbermen.
Manufacturers of other building
material have spent large sums of
money to obtain reliable information
about their products, They have had
to advertise extensively to make a
'place in the sun" for themselves.
Substitutes for lumber are guaran-
teed to meet specifications which are
easily understood by the consumer.
These facts, the report states, have
combined to make the substitutes in
creasing1v nonu1ar
For lumbermen to hold their mar
kets against competing materials 1t
will be necessary for them to learn
more about the fundamental proper
ties of wood, the author of the report
says. They can do this either by
scientific research for themselves or
by cooperating with agencies already
established. Better manufacturing
and selling methods and the develop
ment Of by-products should enable
them to make profit in spite of the
limitations on the price of lumber
which may be imposed by competing
substitutes.
Even with the increasing substitu-
tion for wood, the report points out,
there will be need for all the wood in
the United States, and more. The to-
tai consumption of the country. for
many years has been far in excess of
the growth. Already in many re-
gions timber shortage and high prices

Desirable Source
For investments

Current savings are looked to by
the United States government as the
desired source for Liberty loan in
vestments. BY paying for Liberty
bonds on the monthly payment plan
made possible by the banks of the
country, the people of America will
cultivate the habit of saving They
will be putting away stated amounts
Of their current incomes, and at the
same time they will be aiding the
government in its stand for world
democracy.
Ready money is not necessary for
the purchase of Liberty bonds. Al
c. Kains, vice-president of the Bank
Of the Americas, stated that side Of
the question when he asid:
81 should like to impress upon the
public that this issue has to be taken
up by the United States out of the
savings that they are going to make.
The savings that they have made are
all expressed in the things that we
see around us-buildings, good
roads, etc., and everything that we
have to make life pleasant. But we
have got to increase our output of
everything, and this is period of
initiation.
Things will go up in price as soon
as the operation is consummated. AS
practically no money goes out of the
United States, 1t has got to go some
where. It goes back to the credit on
the books of the people at an in
creased ratio, and every bank instead
of having smaller deposits will have
larger deposits. We may think this
is very large operation, but as COM
pared with what has been done by
older countries, it is not marker
yet.
Probably England has already
done two or three times what we
have done. This is not great thing
in comparison with France and Eng
land.

modern sky-scraper with its steel
framework and stone, brick or tile
walls occupies the site of some for
mer frame structure. Railroad
crossties and mine props are about
the only forms of wood which are not
affected.
How hard this substitution has hit
the lumber business is shown by the
government estimate that the total
replacement of lumber in all forms
of use is 5000, 100000 board feet,
or 21 per cent Of the lumber con-
sumption of the United States in
1915, The rate of substitution seems
to be increasing and is now in excess
of 500, 100000 board feet year.
Approximately 70 per cent Of the
lumber cut goes into forms Of use
whose demands appear to be decreas-
ing. Twenty per cent more goes into
strongly competitive fields. In the
remaining 10 per cent of wood uses
there seems to be a much better op-
portunity for larger consumption.
Increasing substitution has not,
( however, lowered lumber prices to
the consumer, the report points out.
On the contrary, they have steadily
advanced, while the cost of many sub
stitutes has decreased. Exhaustion
of the stands of local timber and dis
covery of new sources for the manu-
facture of other building material
are given as some of the reasons for
these changes. More than rs per
cent of the replacement Of wood,
however, is made in spite Of higher
initial cost of the substitute.
The effect Of the growing use of
other materials has been to accentu-
ate competition and decrease profits
in the lumber business. AS result
Of this and other reasons, alternate
periods of curtailment and over-pro-
duction have made the lumber mar
ket unstable. This in turn has re-
suited to the disadvantage not only

son. In one cave there were piles of

by the Sleeper and his men. In an
other were sheaves Of arrows; and in
one were spears in racks against a
wall. There were empty stables, with
rings made fast into the rock where
a hundred horses could have stood in
