MAY CURTAIL
WOODEN ship
PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON. April 16. =
Drastic curtailment and perhaps
abandonment of wooden ship
building on the eastern and gulf
coasts, was under consideration
by the shipping board today.
The wooden ships now on the
ways, at least, will be completed.
but it was regarded as unlikely
that others will be laid down.
The conviction that larger YES
'sels must now be built to cut the
growing consumption of engines
and boilers necessary for many
small wooden ships is believed TO
have prompted the proposed plan.

Robert Adams did not resent the
straightforward talk of his visitor. He
was just in a frame of mind where the
suggestions implanted might take root.
He nodded a thoughtful adieu to his
relative and sat down alone to cogi-
tate. The postman appeared with
letter from Mary and small bundle.

long-anticipated visit had brought to

his eyes on a framed portrait Of his

they took to their depths a dreamy

a series of pictures born of the vivid

In no case is the federal government
to pay more to the owner than Is paid

No payment by the federal government
Is to be more than $25 for any grade
animal or more than $50 for any pure

made unless the owner has complied
with all quarantine regulations.
This provision is expected to re

cattle owners that has hindered tuber

the federal government, the state
county or municipal governments and
the owners of cattle will share In the
loss resulting from slaughternig In

other animals not infected.
Another important development ex
pected to hasten tuberculosis eradica
ton was the unanimous adoption by
breeders and live stock SanitarianS OF
national reputation of regulations for
accrediting pure-bred herds of cattle.
This action, taken last December,
marked the coordination of efforts OF
individuals and the state and federal
governments for the suppression Of
tuberculosis In pure-bred animals.
On July l, the department issued Its
first list of herds officially accredited
as free from tuberculosis. The herds
numbered on that date approximately
240. The list also named herds that
had passed one successful test. They
must pass another annual test success.

The annual loss from tuberculosis
among cattle and hogs is reckoned at

federal campaign to eradicate the dis

well-defined projects. The first project
Is the eradication of tuberculosis from

the second is the eradication Of cattle

TUBERCULOSIS LOSS IS BIG
Federal Government Bears Partial

Because Of Infection.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The 1919 agricultural appropriation
bill just passed by congress contains
an item expected to be of great i'm
portance in the federal and state cam
paign to eradicate tuberculosis among
cattle and swine. 1t provides that the
federal government shall pay indem-
nifty to ownersswhose cattle are slaugh-
tered because they have been found in
fected with tuberculosis.
The department of agriculture is to
pay nethird of the difference between
the appraised value of the cattle and
the salvage value of the slaughtered
animals, provided that the state. coun-
ty or municipality in which the cattle
are owned and kept Is cooperating in
the tuberculosis work and pays at
least an equal amount to the owner.

An utterance Of disappointment

"Oh. Robert! I" she replied, and has
