 The motor car has killed the coun- try store in the western country. by bringing the people into closer touch with the town stores. Thus every new thing introduced brings some- thing unexpected in it's wake. Who would have imagined that better means of travel over country roads would cause the closing of the coun- try stores2

decade ago when it accepted some OF

NORTHWEST NEWS NOTES
People Are Not Complaining Of
Food Restrictions-Shipyard Men
Wanted--NO More Very
Cold Weather

Charles Hebberd, the State food adj
ministrator, declares that the people of
the State OF Washington are taking
kindly to the restriction of food supplies
placed upon them by the Government;
they do not grumble, they do not com
plain, but on the contrary the people
as a whole are accepting the rulings
OF the Government with the best grace
possible. Bakers of the Northwest are
now installing potato peeling machinery
and will at once begin to use certain
proportion OF potatoes in making bread
for the public. The introduction of
potatoes will be gradual, SO that the
consumers can become accustomed TO
the new war bread. The entire state
just at present is lacking the necessary
substitutes that must be purchased
long with white, graham, whole wheat
and rye -four, but big shipments Of
these substitutes are now on their way
to the coast and will be on sale within
a few days. In the meantime the
public is following the new rule as to
substitute fours as fast as it is possible
to purchase them. A tour OF the
restaurants of the state by U. S. food
administration representatives. discloses
the fact that the rules as to -four and
other food supplies are being ooeyed.
Occasionally restaurant is found that
is not obeying the law but it is the
exception rather than the rule. Elk
perts who have made study of the
effect of various foods on the human
system declare that the people OF
Washington, as we'll as throughout the
country will be in better health year
from now than they are today owing TO
the shortage OF bread and meat. These
two food essentials, it is claimed, are
consumed in too large quantity by
the average person, with the result
that they do not enjoy the high stand
ard of health that they would enjoy il
they underwent more meat!ess and
breadess days.

A state wide campaign, headed by
Governor Lister himself is now in
progress for the purpose OF enlisting
more men in the ship building indus
try. While the various plants in the
cities OF the Northwest are turning out
ships as fast as possible considering
the shortage OF help it has been found
essential to bring still greater speed
into the industry if the Pacific coast
is to turn out its quota of ships during
the present year. 1t is said that some
Of the so-called experts sent to Puget
Sound from the east for the purpose OF
aiding the ship building program have
not turned out to be the skilled
mechanics they were supposed to be
with the result that some of them were
forced TO give up the work and new
men have not to date been found to
take their places. In some OF the
local shipyards it has been found
necessary to increase the hours Of labor
for which the men are paid on the
basis OF overtime. The yards believe
that greater progress can be made in
tnis way than hv seeking to employ
men who are not skilled at the work.
The story is told of one man who was
sent west by the Government to work
as an expert riveter. When given a
riyeting machine he asked what it was
used for; his experience as riveter had
been gained in an entirely different
branch Of business. Another so called
expert made two wrecks Of a very fine
lathe in less than two days.

Committee Unanimous in
Opposing Conscription

DUBLIN. April s.-The Irish Catholic
bishops committee. at a meeting held
today which was presided over by Car
dinal Logue. adopted by a unanimous
vote a resolution protesting against
conscription in Ireland and declaring
that to enforce conscription without
the consent of the Irish people would
soon inevitably end in defeating its
own purpose.
What between mismanagement and
misunderstanding" said the resolution.
this country already has been des-
perately upset, and it would be a fatal
mistake. surprising the worst blunder
of the last four years, to furnish a tell
ing plea for desperate courses by an
attempt to enforce conscription"
The bishops attending the meeting
included some who have supported re-
