BOARD WILL DISCUSS
UNSUITABLE VESSEL
Meet in Washington Today
to Investigate Models.

Washington, Feb. 15.--The naval
consulting board will meet here to-
morrow to discuss among other sub
iects experiments made with the for
mer Austrian steamer Lucia, designed
to make her unsuitable. Vice Chair
man Saunders of the board announced
last Saturday at New York that the
effort had been successful by honey
eombing' the ships interior with
buoyant compartments.
The plan was proposed by William
T. Donnelly and work has been in
progress several months on the ship, Il
a,00o-ton craft. Naval opinion gener-
ally. ~ far as can be learned, does not
agree with Mr.. Saunders as to the
practtcability of the plan. Reduction
OF cargo space, time necessary for
construction Of this character and sew
eral other factors arc regarded as
working against general adoption for
the transport service. Rear Admirals
Taylor and Griffin. respectively chief
constructor and chief engineer of the
navy, are members of the consulting
board and will be present tomorrow.
There appears to be no doubt that a
virtually on-sinkable ship could be
built in any of several ways. Neither
has as yet found, however, any scheme
SO far as known that would justify its
general use. Time and cargo space
are vital elements in the war that must
govern whatever is DONE

ATKINSON URGES
cAShAND CARRY
Food Administrator Thinks
System WeuA Reduce
Living Cost.
FIVE PER CENT CUT
Deliveries and Credit Are
Expensive Is Reasoning
of Official.

IF the Montana people will pay cash
for their groceries and carry their own
groceries home, the store keepers OF
the state will be able, and will ulti-
mately be requird, to reduce costs OF
food stuffs from five to ten per cent.
This foreword on cash and carry
campaign in Montana was issued yes
terday by the Montana office of the
federal food administration. The fig
ures Of possible saving are based upon
the upkeep costs of a number of Mon
tana's larger stores and upon the find
ings Of Montana retailers who have
already entered upon the cash and
carry" system. The statement from
Administrator Atkinson's office con-
+. tinues:
Says Cash System Is Cheaper.
1.-The merchant who is now selling
for cash, and requiring his customers
to be content with not more than one
delivery each day, is making a mistake
IL he is not underselling the merchant
who has large credit accounts and who
is keeping up an elaborate delivery
system. If he be able to buy whole
sale at anywhere near the same figure.
he should be able to underseil his com
petitor at least five per cent.
THE man who pays cash and does
not ask for more than one delivery
Il day is now paying for his merchants
bad accounts and their delivery sys-
tenn, though he is getting no benefit.
You never hear of merchant doing a
delivery business into the country; why
is it SO necessary in the town?
Merchants Must Pay Interest.
MANY of the men who run on credit
at the grocery store are men who can
borrow money at the bank. They pay
no interest on their account at the
store, yet the merchant more than Of
ten has to borrow money at interest to
run his business. This interest is met
by Increase costs to the consumer
In one city in Montana one store
reports that one of it's women Gus
toners for a period OF two weeks, av-
eraged four deliveries a day, although
she lived less than four blocks from
the store. She had seven boarders and
deliveries. The store had to pay money
to make the deliveries. 1t made their
food commodities sell higher. The
boarders had to pay more for their
food. One delivery would have sufficed
# the woman had planned her ordering.
1.-The day of cash and carry is at
hand. 1t is the only economical and
sane way of doing a big business in
food supplies 1t is being tried out just
now in many Montana cities"

The building and repair of vessels of

almost stopped by labor union boy
colt on Brazilian pine AS this was the
only lumber on the local market the
boycott on its use halted all woodwork

The boycott is believed by shipping
agents here to nave been evolved by
Germans and Spaniards in Bueos Ayres
partly as a hindrance TO Allied ship
ping. It has been alleged for year or
more that German funds and German
ingenuity were behind the labor or
CARNATIONS here, which are directed by
Spaniards.
few months ago nearly dozen AL
lied vessels were damaged in collisions
while being taken down the river by
licensed pilots Of Austrian and Greek
birth. The collisions occurred in broad
daylight and seemed so obviously pre-
meditated shat ship agents charged
they were deliberately brought about in
{, the interests of the Germans. A gov
ernment Investigation was started, but
no report was ever made public.
