Fair Motorist Expresses Opinion
That They Lack Confidence
in Themselves.
DRIVING IS STATE OF MIND
Many Know What to Do Under Prae-
tlcalIy All Conditions and Still
Fall to Do it-sest Nerve
Tonic In the World,

AS has been said about worry
namely, that most of ones troubles
never happen-so the fear that q wom-
an has In driving q car Is not so much
that as 1t is the fear of being afraid.
At least that is the opinion of we'll
known woman motorist.
"From my own experience and the
experience of other women to whom
| have talked about the subject, be-
lieve the most difficult thing woman
has to overcome In learning to drive
a car is not to be afraid of being
afraid" says this expert woman driver.
probably this sounds a little compli-
Gated, and an easier way to say it
would be that women as a whole, 1 be-
lieve. lack confidence In themselves to
handle the unexpected, should the un-
expected occur.
Easy to Handle Car.
"a lot has been said about driving.
Much advice has been offered as to
what to do and what not to do. 1 be-
neve that good driving is simply a
state of mind and that as soon as any
one discovers how easy 1t is to handle
a car and how near an impossibility
It is for an emergency to arise that
cannot be met with,little effort, when
the simple mechanism of the modern
car is mastered, she has learned about
oil there is to know in order to drive
q car.
"Of course one might know what
to do under practically all conditions,
and still not do it. Here is where lots
of women fail as good drivers; their
fear of doing the wrong thing is so
great that they do nothing at all.
Material Benefits.
IT have yet to see any woman who
has not been materially benefited by
driving. The fresh air, the co-ordina-
tion of eye, mind and muscle, the ex-
hilaration of feeling that you are mas
ter of the powerful and yet tractable
motor. and that it will answer your
every whim. cannot help but have a
beneficial effect on the nerves. In
fact, l firmly believe that driving is
the best nerve tonic In the world.
II have driven my car over thou
sandsVf miles of all kinds of roads
boulevards, deserts and mountains.
The fact that have never had an ac-
cident of any kind adds a lot to the
sum total Of my pleasure, of course.
but I know that even had expert
enced lot of trouble I would not
sacrifice for a great deal the actual
gain In health and the JOY of driving
that have experienced In my car"

"a plain case Of larceny and a warrant
was issued. Baker was apprehended
and brought to Devils Lake and put
under $500 bonds. At the request of
States Attorney Hunt, it is alleged,
Judge Buttz appointed A. r. Smythe

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Stories of
labor unrest, agitation by radicals
and shortage of workers in the
northwest, were declared yesterday
nv the United States employment
service to be greatly exaggerated and
misleading. Working men in other
sections of the country were warned
particularly against going to Oregon
without first ascertaining what JOBS
are in sight
Sources of the misleading reports
were not mentioned by the service.
Statements recently have been made
by department of justice ofhcials,
however, that persons in sympathy
with the enemy were turning their
attention to the spreading OF dis
content and false rumors.
only five classes OF skilled work
ers are needed now in the oregon
sbipbuilding district, the service an
nounced. These are snipWTlghts,
shin ftters. caulkers, b8ilermakers
ana nachinists, and only men in the
first three trades can proceed with
reasonable assurance of employment.
T,ovgers will. be needed in early
spring. All should apply first to the
portland office of the United States
employment service.
ssseyenteen wood and five steel
shipbnilding concerns are operating
now in Oregon and employing $4,000
men" the statement said. These
have a present capacity for 80 ships.
other wards are in contemplation
and probably will be built in the
near future. This will mean the en-
ployment OF many more men. Just

Given Important Post
By Secretary Baker
lRv Associated Press.l

Washington, Jan. 25.-Edward r.
Stettinius, of New York, was APP
pointed to day as surveyor general
for all army purchases. Secretary
Baker, in making the announcement
said:
Mr.. Edward r. stettinius, of New
York, has been appointed surveyor
general of all army purchases. He
will be in charge of the procurement
and production Of all supplies by the
FIVE army bureaus, viz: Ordnance,
quartermaster, signal, engineer and
medical. 1t will be his duty to CO.
ordinate such purchases and proper
ly relate the same to industry TO the
end that the army program be de-
@veloped under comprehensive plan
which will best utilize the resources
of the country.
eFrom the outbreak of the war
Mr.. Stettinius has been in sole charge
of the allied purchases in this eoun-
try and has been responsible for the
development of production OF war
materials. His intimate knowledge
of war conditions in Europe and In
the United States as related to in
dustry and the practical means he
has used to accomplish his plans
pre- -eminently qualify him for his
position. ,.-..-----
"Nr. lStettinius will assume his new
duties at once and establish his Of
fee in Washington"
The appointment Of Mr.. Stettinius
to the new post, which is in effect
that of a munitions supervisor and
director for all war department pur-
chases was viewed as the answer OF
the administration to the munitions
ministry bill pending in the senate.
It effects a complete consolidation OF
all war department supply questions
under the surveyor general and on
the face of the statement issued by
Mr.. Baker, Mr.. Stettinius is to be
backed by complete authority In his
position.
