How VIII We Pay MeAdoo1

WashingtOn.-IIow will Director
General Of Railroads McAdoo be paid
when he relinquIshes his place on the
pay roll of the government as secre-
tary Of the treasury on Tuesday De-
cenLer II. The law says that no one
may receive two salaries from the gov
eminent. That Is why he received no
salary as director general OF the rail-
roads and has had only his cabinet
salary.
The law also says no one may serve
the government without compensation
That Is why there have been dollar-a-
year men In Washington. Regional d.
rectors under the director general re-
ceive salaries OF $4,000 a year, fixed
by the director general.
In the absence Of any specific appro-
riatlon by congress. 1t is understood
That the presidents broad powers un.
Ter the railroad act will allow him 70
Tx salary. Whether that salary will
be dollar or $4,000 year is entirely
IN the discretion Of the president.

now-it costs but a few cents-all drug

hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is. moisten q cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will

BIG NAVY FOR j. s,
GOVERNMENT PLAN
DETERMINATION TO POSSESS A
NAVY OF INCREASING SIZE
AND EFFICIENCY OUTLINED
New Program Arranged to Cover a
Second Three-Year Term, Provides
For 1856 New Vessels of all
Kinds.

Washington.-Ame determine
! ton to possess a navy of constantly in
creasing strength and efficiency. fully
capable of preserving and maintaining
its newly won position among the ma
tons of the world, is officially ex-
pressed by Secretary of the Navy Dan
lels in his annual report to the Presi-
dent.
Notwithstanding the cessation of
hostilities and the approaching peace
conference, Secretary Daniels strongly
urges the continued upbuildin> of the
navy, specifically asking for the au-
thorization of another three-year con
struction program to cost $6O0,000. 900.
This substantially duplicates the
amount appropriated in 1918, when the
world war was raging in all its fury,
and which constituted the first COM
)rehensive building program authorized
for the navy
Ten New Battleships.
The new program arranged to cover
4 second three-year term provides for
The construction of total of 156 new
vessels. Ten of these are to be battle
ships and six of them battle cruisers.
The other 40 vessels are not speci-
fled in the recommendations 1t Is SIM
ply asked that they be of types already
approved and in existence or of new
types which may develop during the
life of the program, the details being
left to the discretion of the navy de
partment.
The secretary adds that the new ship
construction should embrace craft of
/ every construction, which the expert
ence of the war has demonstrated to
be necessary to the efficient aad SYM
metrical development of the navy.
Policy is Continued.
Commenting on his recommendations
he says:
1.-The new three-year program is a
continuation of the policy adopted in
1916 of increasing the navy, and con-
templates its steady upbuilding and
Improvement 1t is in line with the
policy adopted by this government and
which has met with the entire approval
Of the American people of building a
navy strong enough to meet all re-
quiremen.s.~
This program, if authorized by Con
gress, as | am confident it will be. will
: give us sixteen additional capital ships
which will be the equal of any afloat al
the time they are built. The battle
ships and battle cruisers in the first
three-year program will be unexcellet
by those of any other navy, and the
country may rest assured that in the
new construction authorized our con
structors will produce the most power
full and effective of fighting craft"
The total estimates for ship con
struction involved in the new program
including armor and armament, aggre
gate 100000. The amount recon
mended for appropriation next year TO
the completion of vessels already au
thorized is S572, 100000.

SHIPPING EGGS IN CAR LOTS
Average Losses of From 8 to 9 Per
Cent Can Be Greatly Reduced
by Proper Packing.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
The amount of damage sustained in
marketing eggs in carload shipments
which, according to various reliable
authorities, averages from to 8 per
cent, has been reduced to less than ]
per cent in tests conducted by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
covering a period of more than two
years and in which the eggs were ship
ped on an average of 1900 miles. BY
following good, commercially prac-
ticable methods of packing, storing,
and hauling, eggs can be transported
in carload lots with total damage,
including "checks," "dents" and "leak.
ers," of less than per cent.
In order to reduce egg losses to the
minimum they should be packed in new
standard cases symmetrically made
with 5, or preferably 9, 3-penny cement
coated nails at each corner of the sides
and bottom and at the center partition.
Cases made of cottonwood have, on the
whole, the greatest number of advan-
tages. Medium filters (three pounds,
three Ounces) or heavier should be
used. 1t is absolutely necessary, also,
that the filler be perfectly new. Even
a short-haul shipment into the packing
house should disqua'ify the filler for
further use. Suitable cushions Of ex-
celsiOr, with a fiat, should be placed
on the top and, bottom of the case.
Corrugated board on the top of the case
affords practically the same protection
as the excelsior cushion, provided 1t
takes up the slack.
The load of eggs must be solid unit
In the car, fitting without play. This
Is the most important factor in avoid
ing damage in transit. The amount OF
damage in properly loaded cars buffod
with straw is slightly less than in the
same cars buffed with wood. In plac-
ing the buffing, care should be taken
not to permit 1t to prevent circulation
of air, which is essentieI to good re-
frigeration. When the straw buffing is
placed at the bunkers and extends from
the top of the load to the floor Of the
car, it is found that at least so per
cent of the refrigeration is lost.
Self bracing of the load by means
of suitable strips placed below the
cases proved much more satisfactory
than braces nailed to the car. Nailed
braces seldom arrive in place and fire.
