The Belleclaire has a fixed
overhead cost, which averages
about 81 900 per year per
room-and there are 800
rooms. (Tkis does not include
food.) This is the simplest
way of indicating the cost of
maintaining a hrst-class hotel.
How much profit am | entitled
to make per room per year? |
think | am entitled to 10 per
cent net, but ! don't make it.
Frankly, hotel proprietors hard
ly know where they are at, at
times, with food and labor costs
going up, up. The food market
keeps on exacting prices that
have added tremendously to our
cost. And, Of course. everybody
knows that labor is serious
problem. However, am do
ing all | know how to keep the
charges Tor belleClalre rooms
and food and service on fair
basis. Tc illustrate: A Belle
claire guest, occupying a large
room with bath, and eating
breakfast, luncheon and dinner
in the hotel, ordering what he
wants, can get along very com
fortably on 81 a day, $40 for
the week. This cost is esti-
mated as follows: Room, $500;
breakfast, 81. 90; lunch, $l.OO;
dinner, $500.

ARMY WILL REQUIRE
NEED OF MUCH WOOL

Coming requirements Of the army
for wool look large. Besides cloth
ing for the soldiers in France and at
home a reserve must be accumulated
sufficient to take care of any emer-
gency.
There arc large stocks of manu-
factured clothing and cloth on hand
adequate for essential civilian needs,
but woolen suits will not be cheap
or plentiful during the coming win
ter season.
Wool stocks from abroad to sup
plement the domestic supply is re-
stricted by shipping conditions. The
shipping board states the movement
CT Argentine wool will be heavier
the coming year than in any preced-
ing year. But large portion of the
raw wool in this country and stock
to be produced or imported to Janu-
ary, 1920, will be needed for mill
tary uses.
The war service committee of the
rational association of wooden manu-
facturers and the American associa-
ton of woolen and worsted manu-
facturers conferred with the war in
dustires board and representatives
from the shipping board, war trade
board, and army and navy over diff
ficulties in the wool supply situa-
tion. The policy of the war indus
tcies board is to regulate prices and
distribution when scarcity arises
due to government demands.

STATE BANK OF ASHLAND

tie rank is a high compliment not
only to the ability and energy of the
men who have been at the head of
tie two companies or have managed
lis business, but to the men who
have worked in the yard to make
uossible the admirable record.
The fact that the area where the
Coos Bay yards have spread their eX-
tensive sheds and offices was mud
flat before tugust II, 1917, brings
1t practically on par with the
Eruse & Banks yards. The first
leel was laid last October, two ships
have been launched already and two
more are ready to leave the ways
this month. These last two will he
nearer completion when launched
than the two which have gone off
the ways so that the detention at the
yard for finishing will require only
about five days of week. Since
delivery of the two is not due till
September, the yard in Marshfield
will have an even higher rating by
,his achievement.
The Kruse G. Banks yards have
turned out five since Federal ship
construction began In fact they
have been launched In such rapid
succession they tend to become a
matter of passing news and not the
bis event they once were.
Il knew there was some eXplana-
ton for the way the Washington Of
flcials is treating u.s." said MIR, Adel-
sperger in talking of the situation

Directors Are To
Be Probed Again

Conscientious objectors at Camp
Lewis, most of whom are on duty in
The base hospital, will be examined
in the next few days by a board COM
posed of Judge Julian, w. Mack, Dr..
Il. f. Stone and Major Ralph c. Stod-
dard. The board appointed by the
president under the provisions of the
sclective service act, began its ses-
sions last week in the various bar
racks buildings in ca'lp.
All the men are examined regard
ing their religious convictions, but
one declared he had no religion but
was opposed to killing on general
principles. He had previously serV-
cd four years in the navy, he said
nut asserted it as his belief that a
nan had a right to change his mind
Ill that time.
Suppose that Germany would
take part OF this country. What
would you do?" was asked.
81 don't know that Germany would
CO it" he replied.
What about blowing up our ships
and U-boats on our coast?"
II don't know anything about
that"
do you read the papsrs?"
Yes, but you can't believe every
thing you read
well, stay in the army, said the
examiner, "and you Will find out
these things are true"
Late conversions to creeds where
the taking of human life is opposed
was quite common, some of the men
having changed their religion as late
as January 1917. Others became
Nossessed of the first religious con-
yictions when they found they were
to be drafted.
Some of the men said that they
would serve in non-combStant units,
but that they would refuse to do
duty in organizations where killing
was one of the duties.
Under the late instructions gov
erning the disposition of the men the
board has the authority to have them
furloughed to farms without govern
mental pay, the men agreeing to
work for the same wages which they
would receive were they to remain
Gr active duty in the army.
Those who are found not to be
worthy of consideration ss conscien-
tous objectors will be assigned to
combatant units and further refu-
sci to fight will result in their court
martial for insubordination.

MORE SMALL ARMS FOR
ExPEHi'TlONARY FORCES

German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
As oalibre automatic pistols has
brought about a change in the equip
r1ent of the American Expeditionary
Fcrces by the war department and
The Ordnance department is rushing
production of these weapons.
About 5000 are turned out daily
and production is increasing. The
impression exists that shot from
an American AS takes a man out of
action completely. Men hit from the
smaller German pistols frequently
continue in action effectively. The
As calibre was adopted by the u.
S. army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased de-
mand for these pistols the ammuni-
tion branch of the ordnance depart
ment has effected saving during
the two calendar months OF nearly
S2,000,000 mostly on small arms,
such as the 40 calibre ball cart
ridges, 80 shells, and on clips and
Eardoleers.
The total saving of the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvage, waste prevention,
and the utilization or sale of dis
carded materials have aggregate /
$S757,025. Cost of Vickers ma
chine guns has been reduced S322.3j
each; Colt machine guns, $2S4.16
each; Lewis machine guns, S22 each.
Government rifles now cost s22 each
reduction of S13 each.
