Huge Munitions Orders Will
Withdraw Metal From
Other Uses.
ALLIES TO RECEIVE A PART.
Nation May Require Entire Output for
Period of War-Situation Serious
Not Only for French Army,
But American Forces, Too.

WaShington.-Huge orders for NUM-
tons and steel supplies which have
come unexpectedly from General Per
shing in the last few days created the
prospect that the entire iron and steel
output for the rest of the war would
be used for direct military and naval
purposes. Edwin B. Parker, chairman
Of the priorities division Of the Wal
Industries Board, said that it had be
come evident that the demand far ex
ceeded not only the present supply
but it was feared the supply that could
be made available during the war.
Statements current here were tina!
General Pershing has asked for 1000,
coo tons of projectiles and shells il
excess Of estimates that were madt
earlier in the year and also for 1900.
600 tons of railroad rails and Other
steel products. Compliance with TIL:
request, 1t was said, would result il
the withdrawal Of steel from ever!
other use in this country and concen
trate it ON vital needs for winning the
war,
II was understood that under the
pooling plan discussed OF the Wal
Council some of the supplies repre-
scented by General Pershing's new or
ders will go to the British and French
armies. The needs of the French have
been suddenly augmented by reason OF
the fact that certain industries as well
as iron and coal mines fell into the
hands Of the Germans in the recent
drive
More than 100000 shells and projec-
tiles weighing about 100000 tons
have been used by each side since the
beginning of the German drive OF
March 81, it was stated here.
The new request from General Per-
ghiny was for two-thirds Of that vol
time of munitions. Neither officials CT
the War Industries Board nor other de-
partments held out any assurance that
the maximum Of General Pershing's
needs In this line was to be found III
the latest requests that have come
from him. In fact, that were regarded
as forerunners Of other orders Of pos
stbly greater proportions.

MEANING OF SHIP TONNAGE
Several Different Uses OF Term, APP
piled as Occasion Demands, Are
Cited by National Authority.

The different uses Of tonnage terms
when speaking of ships are causes OF
confusion to the lay mind. Why ships
cannot be really compared according
to tonnage Is explained by Capt. y. A.
McAllister, engineer In chief, united
States coast guard, In an article IN
Popular Science Monthly. For example,
he states, steamship companies, IN Or
der to impress relative safety OF their
craft, will advertise the sailing of a
certain steamer of 10000 tons, mean
Ing, of course, gross tons. The COM
pany's agent, in entering 1t at the GUS
tom house, will take precaution to GER
tify that she is only 7,340 tons, when
paying tonnage taxes. He then Is re-
ferring to her net tonnage, and IN TACT
that standard Is used only when pay
ing dues or taxes.
Displacement tonnage is almost ex-
clusively applied to warships, as they
do not carry cargoes. Strange TO say
the tonnage Of battleship varies al
most hourly, DIS SodA Va o@SA No
objects are used or taken on board.
The tonnage of warships is. however,
fixed : they are referred to in terms OF
the fixed tonnage.
A statement that q 10,000-ton battle
ship sank a 1O,0OO-ton merchant ship
does not mean that the ships were OF
eoual size. The merchant ship would
be much larger, owing to the different
meanings of the term "ton," as applied
to the two types of vessels. 1t Is abso-
lutely impossible to give rules for the
relation of these terms, as the condi-
tons vary too greatly. Generally speak
Ing, the gross tonnage Of ship is from
so to 100 per cent greater than the net
tonnage.

In Oregon and Idaho there are fOV,-
1000, 100000 feet. In 1916 the distr1bu-

Read Merry Mats appeal for the
Red Cross. Now and then one
hears the same ridiculous argu-
ment over here as to sending my
dollar direct to my boy" but il
is only flimsy excuse to get rid
of the question for the time, an in
dication of selfshness or ineXcusa-
BILE thoughtlessness. Your boy may
be so situated as to need 81 900, or
its equivalent, and the very organ
ization which you spurn, and whose
honesty you pretend to question
stands back of the battle line to
see that he gets it, if necessary.
Your psltry dollar sent would
not go far in nursing back to health
a wounded son thousands of miles

ed by other individual donations
that go into the thousands and
millions, the relief is sure. What

Thoughtful and considerate cltl-
zens and taxpayers note the fact
that few hundred dollars applied
at this time on Main street would
be money we'll spent if the town
authorities could see their way
clear to do do, Since the new
street has been in use a year and
cutters put in, many depresslon'
are to be seen places where the
street bed is not round enough to
carry the water into the cutters,
hence, during a heavy rain, water
runs down the center of the street
and will soon wash ugly trenches
and ruts in the macadam. This
is especially true of the east end Of
the street where the bed is compar-
atively fiat for some distance. A
little work this summer would save
double the amount later on.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Twins Have a Proposal.

1t was half past three on delight
full summer afternoon. The twins
stood at the gate with two hatless
youths, performing what seemed to be
the serious operation OF separating
their various tennis rackets and shoes
from the conglomerate tumble. Finally,
laughing and calling back over their
shoulders, they sauntered lazily up the
walk toward the house, and the young
men set off in the direction from
which they had come. They were hard
ly ont of hearing distance when the
front door opened, and Aunt Grace
beckoned hurriedly to the twins.
"Come on, quick" she said. "where
in the world have you been all day?
Did you have any luncheon? Mrs. For
rest and Jim We're here, and they in
vited you to go home with them for

"Come on, Lark, sure we have time
enough. Wen be ready in fifteen min
utes."
"Come on up, Auntie; Wen tell you
where we've been"
The twins flew up the stairs, their
aunt as close behind as she deemed
safe. Inside their own room they
promptly and ungracefully kicked off
their loose pumps, tossed their tennis
shoes and racquets on the bed, and be-
gan Juggling at the cords of their
MILDLY blouses.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, In an
interview of the subject, made the az.
tonishing statement that one reason WHY
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected is because kidney trouble is so com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in OVERCOMING
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root Il
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad.
wise cur readers who feel in need of such :
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, ii you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kiimer q Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
