Hardware Supplies Still
in Big Demand; Supply
Is as Limited as Before

There is a certain demand for
hardware implements at this time of
the year that is in a way surprising
the merchant. The fact that every
one is economizing in every way they
can, leads to this cause. People who
formerly had little odd jobs done by
a carpenter or a plumber or other
skilled mechanics are now doing
these repairs themselves. That ne
cessarily takes tools. The hardware
man it seems is the one who is
profiting by this. "It is an i'll wind
that doesn't blow somebody some
good"
George H. Haverstick, the PEN
brook merchant, carries a full line
of hardware, cutlery, tools, paints,
oils, lead, glass, house furnishings,
farm and poultry supplies, sporting
goods and bicycle sundries. His store
is located in Penbrook on the Square.
1t is on a direct line with the Jones'
town pike, which makes it easily ac-
cessible to all the farmers from that
direction as well as the people of
Penbrook.

Governor Offers Seat
in u. S. Senate to Clark

jefferson City, Mo-, April 25.-Gov-
ernor Gardiner last night rendered to
Champ Clark, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, the appointment
as Senator to succeed the late Will
liam ]. Stone. The Governor an
nounced he had sent the following
telegram to Mr.. Clark:
II have the honor of rendering to
you appointment as Senator to fill the
vacancy caused by death of Senator
Stone. L hope to have early advice
of your acceptance"
Washington, April 25.-Spealxer
Clark last night received the tele-
gram from Governor Gardiner offer
ing him the appointment as Senator
to succeed the late Senator Stone, but
declined to discuss it. The rendering
of the office to the Speaker had been
expected by many members of the
House of Representatives but they
do not believe Mr.. Clark will sur
render the Speakership to accept it.

training of aviators and the military
use OF aircraft and 1t will be under
the direction of Brigadier General
Kenly, of the aviation service, who
has been in France with General
Pershing for the last six months or
more.
The aircraft production board. es-
tablished by Congress, is retained in
the new scheme of aircraft control,
but Mr.. Ryan is to take over the
Craftsmanship from Howard e. Cof-
fin, thus doing away with the old duel
system by which the aircraft board
advised" and the signal corps off,
GERS acted" upon virtually every
phase of aircraft construction. Mr..
Coffin, however, has consented to re-
main as a member of the advisory
commission of the Council of Ma
tional Defense and will give assist
ance and counsel to the aircraft
board and to Mr.. Ryan.
Red Tape Is Slashcd
The naval aircraft program is not
affected in any way by. the appoint
ment of Mr.. Ryan. The Navy has
been going steadily ahead with it's
seaplanes and the state of produc-
tion is said to be entirely satisfac-
tory. The Navy is using type of

slightly from the one finally recon-
mended for the Army, but the Navy
engineers are content with a lower
degree of compression than is. de-
sired by the Army, and the Navy
motors virtually are free from the
oiling troubles which come with the
higher compression stages.
Mr.. Ryan is to be given the widest
possible authority by the Army and
his appointment means the cutting
away of the last shreds of the red
tape which it is agreed now has been
choking the Army airplane program
almost unto death.
Mr.. Ryan, as director of aircraft
production and as chairman of the
already constituted aircraft produc-
ton board, will coordinate the en-
tire scheme of aircraft design, mo-
tor selection and the actual building
of the sorely. needed airplanes.
In him the airplane manufacturers
have at last man in whom final au-
thority has been reposed and they
are freed from all the orders and
petty annoyances which they assert

Assortment of Goods
Very Tastily Displayed

During the past few weeks, Meyer
Marcus, who conducts grocery
store at Seventh and. Maclay streets,
has placed on display a large assort-
ment of National and Sunshine cakes
and crackers in his store. The vari-
Gus kinds are very tastily displayed,
showing everything in the cake line
in an inviting way to the prospective
customer They are all inclosed in
glass-front cans and are protected
from dust and handling.
There have also been various
changes in the display of all kinds
of staple and fancy groceries, show
ing a large assortment of all kinds
of good things to eat. Everything is
neatly and handily displayed, giving
to the customer a change to pick out
most anything they desire.
The smoked meat department in
the rear of the store is very tastily
arranged and all the meats are pro-
tected from dust and handling and
yet are displayed so as to show to
n good advantage. There is a full
stock of all these supplies on hand.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are
also carried in stock, making this
store in reality a daily market. Tele-
phone and delivery service are main
tanned. The prices of goods can be
matched with any in the city and
will be found to equal many "cash-
and-carry- plan" prices

Situation Already Improved
The reorganization of aircraft pro-
duction in the Army follows recon-
mendations made by the special in
vestigating committee appointed
some time ago by President Wilson
and headed by II. Snowden Marshall.
of New York. This committee was
amazed from the beginning of its in
quiry at the amount of red tape
which enmeshed the airplane situa-
ton and, acting with the authority
of the President, Immediately began
to cut much of this throttling in
fluence away.
The committee issued orders to the
manufacturers to go ahead with pro-
duction and assured them of the pro-
lection from any further interference
at the hands of minor officials in the
signal corps. So already the airp1ane
situation has improved and Mr.. Ryan
will find his task of speeding up the
production has been fairly well an
ticipated in many respects.
Ryan n Self-Made Man
Mr.. Ryan is typical of the self
in Washington. He has been in and
out of the city for several months

cooperative committee on copper
of the National Council of Defense.
He also is a member of the war
council of the National Red Cross
and was behind the movement which
resulted in the Anaconda Copper
Company voting a dividend of ST.
900, 900 to the Red Cross fund of q
year ago. Mr.. Ryan is a Democrat,
was warm supporter of President
Wilson and one of the largest con-
tributors to the campaign fund.
Mr.. Ryan is typical fthe self
made men who have done so much
for the industries of America. Men
of his character are fast t~permeating
the government and the new order
of things here in Washington is start
ling to the conservative "old-timers"
who long have looked upon all the
higher government officials as in
alienable rights of the professional
man.
