So many erroneous statements
have been made and SO much mis-
information seems abroad with ref
erence to cantonment construction
that ! assume the Electrical World
would be glad to publish the informa-
ton which ought to clear up misap-
prehension.
In q work OF such magnitude. ag-
ggrating all told sixteen camps,
eighteen environments and thirty-two
auxiliary remount depots, with an
approximate expenditure OF $15O.OO0,-
600, and with the war condition fac
ing us and the necessity for speed as
the first essential, it can easily be
seen that much disturbance would
arise In the industrial world If the
plans for letting Of the contracts and
financing them were not carefully
laid and exactly carried out.
In the first place, there was the
necessity to secure proper contrac-
tors, and this was done through the
wise assistance of the Council OF
National Defense, which investigated
and passed upon the ability and
trustworthiness Of the various con-
tractors. After careful analysis six
teen national army cantonment con-
cost plus" basis. This form Of con-
tract Vas also carefully passed upon
by the Council of National Defense,
and the best advice in the country
was obtained with reference to its
requirements.
The second consideration that arose
and which involved much time and
thought and study to adjust satisfac-
torily was the labor situation. 1t
was realized that If men were to be
attracted from one camp to another
by the paying Of higher wages, the
government would be bidding against
itself and to it's detriment; accord
ingly a policy was adopted Of paying
the regular union rate of wages in
force on June 1, 1917, in the locality
in which the camp was situated.
The third question had to- do with
the question Of subletting contracts.
The main contractor was chosen with
the idea that he was big enough to
do the entire work, but If for reasons
Of speed as we'll as economy it was
found that specialized cons tructions-
such as electrical wiring, water and
sewer systems, heating, plumbing
and so forth-should be sublet, such
items were sublet, the sub-contractoI

on such contracts to be paid a per-
centage established by the contract
and the main contractor to be paid o
per cent of the sub-contractor's cost.
The fourth general Question re-
curing considerable thought and
study had to do with the financing
of the work. The plan finally adopted
and which practically results In the
United States financing these huge
projects were as follows:
/. The contractor was to be paid
for all material received at the camp
Just as soon as the United States
took title thereto, and to accomplish
this proper forces at each camp and
cantonment were organized so that
cars would be unloaded Immediately
and as soon as they were unloaded
and the material inspected the Unit
ed States took title.
Q. For purchases made Z. o. b.
manufacturory or mill, upon proper
information to the constructing quar-.
termaster that the material had been
delivered to a common carrier, and
to protect the government in taking
discounts, the contractor was obliged
on receipt Of such Information to
discount his bills. AS soon thereafter
as he presented the shippers or
vendors receipt for his expenditure
he was promptly reimbursed therefor
by the government.
g. The contractor Is paid weekly to
cover his payroll as soon as he pre-
sents to the quarterm aster a properly
receipted and certified roll showins
that he has made the expenditures IN
question.
4. On the ninth of each month the
contractor receives the portion OF
his fee which has accrued to him un-
der the contract as soon as he pre-
sents a proper statement showing to-
tai disbursements, and in addition he
receives reimbursements for such
other expenditures as he has made
during the prior month and on which
there were no discounts.
From the above I think you will
see that, so far as it was humanity
possible, and keeping ever in mind
the speed required in this construc-
ton and the further fact that IT
quick preparedness shortened the
war by one day most if not all OF the
cantonment cost would be equalized,
all interests, both of the government
and of the people, have been fully
and amply protected.

the selfish motorist as well as by
the thoughtless motorist.
Gen orally the spotlight Is carried
much higher than the other lights
and when 1t is used to light the road
surface 1t is worse daZzler than
the headlights. When not in use it
should be turnel off, but so many
m otor1sts require it apparently for
lighting the road surface and have
the inexcusable habit of turning it
on an approaching car. Such motor
lists apparently do not appreciate
that it blinds the driver of an ap-
preaching vehicle, and nothing can
be more dangerous on the average
country road. If the spotlight is used
for Illuminating the road surface it
should be tilted at a sharp angle and
not depended upon to illumine the
road 200 feet ahead. Under no cir
cumstances should 1t be turned upon
an approaching car. One of the ideal
uses for the spotlight is to illumine
the right side of the road SO as more
clearly to define the ditch. In this
rnIa is Is a desirable safety factor,

Books are Good Partners.

David Grayson: The best partners
OF solitude are books. I like to take
a book with me in my pocket, al
though, be it here confessed, l find
the world so full of interesting
sounds, odors-that
often 1 never read q word in it. It
is like having a valued friend with
you, though you walk for miles with
out saying a word to him or he to
you; but If you really know your
friend, 1t is a curious thing how, sub
consciously, you are aware of what
he is thinking and feeling about this
hillside or that distant view. And
so it is with books. 1t Is enough to
have this writer in your pocket, for
the very thought of him and what
he would say to these old fields and
pleasant trees is ever freshly de-
lightful And he never interrupts at
inconvenient moments, nor intrudes
his thoughts upon yours unless you
desire 1t.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The

absolved General Korniloff of all
blame for the recent uprising against
the Kerensky government. 1t was
officially explained by the embassy
that korniloff's detection resulted
from a mutual misunderstanding"
between him and Kerensky. This Is
taken as official forecast that Korni-
loft will not pay penalty for his
revolt.
In a lengthy statement the en-
bassy explains that the Bolshevikis
charges that Kerensky was behind
the Korniloff uprising had their in
ception in negotiations between
Kerehsky and Korniloff and the lat
