A Poets Inspiration.

Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was q
great friend and admirer of Gold
smith, came upon him unexpectedly
one day when he was writing "The
Traveller" Sir Joshua, approaching
the door, heard Goldsmith discours-
ing most earnestly as if delivering a
sermon. Entering, the artist friend
found the writer lecturing a little dog
which was trying to balance himself
On his hind legs. Looking over Gold
smiths shoulder, Sir Joshua found
that the ink of the last line of 1.-THE
Traveller" was still wet, indicating
that dog may be an inspiration to

The Chow Doc,

The chow dog is a diminutive breed
of the Siberian sledge dog improved
and developed in China, from where
they began to be imported into Eu-
rope and America about the beginning
of this century. These dogs have the
coat and form of the sledge dogs and
are very compact and sturdy of frame
and lively in disposition. In color they
are either all black, even to the tongue
and inside of the mouth, or all white,
blue, red or yellow. The chow made
its first appearance in America at the
Westminster kennel show. New York,
in 1901.

Economies of approximately 20 per
cent in shipping weight and so per cent
In shipping space have resulted from
improved methods of packing merchan-
disc for overseas practiced by the
army quartermaster corps. This is
equivalent to about $500 tons space
per month.
For the shipment Of clothes and
equipage, including such items as
blankets, barracks, bags, towels, shell
ter tent halves, bedding, and other
dry goods, in addition TO wearing APP
parel, baIling has been substituted for
boxing and the weight of the lumber
has been saved. The bales average
30 by 10 inches and weigh 90 pounds.
They are bound with not less than
four cold rolled unannealed steel
bands. Burlap over waterproofed
and there are two "ears" on both
ends of the bale for handling.
Women are stevedores on the docks
in France. There is a law they shall
not be required to carry packages
weighing more than 20 pounds. Pack
ages shipped to the American expedi-
tfonary forces are standardized so
they shall not weigh more than 20
pounds for handling by one woman
carrier or more than 40 pounds bg
two women carriers. Men handle the
heavier packages and the boxes must
be used instead of bales.
The quartermaster corps recon-
mends to manufacturers supplying the
army similar economies in packing and
shipping which will result in even
more pronounced space and weight
saving. Round cans and containers
entail waste in space Of % per
cent. Square containers are urged. II
is estimated that every inch saved
through bale compression is worth 65
cents in ship space.

Washington.-The navy department
is collecting photographs of enlisted
men who lose their lives in the war
that their memory may be perpetu-
ated. Secretary Daniels asks relatives
or others having such photographs to
lend them to the navy that copies may
be made for the navy's records. Orig
inals will be returned to the owners
as fast as copies can be made.
A photograph of each man is to be
forwarded by the navy department to
the training station where he began
his career In the service. At each of
these stations a memorial gallery of
honor or a herO's corner Is to be es-
tablished so that for all time the face
of the man of the navy who has made
the supreme sacrifice may be honored
by the youth of the future sent to the
station for training.
All pictures, loaned or contributed,
should be securely wrapped for mail
ing after they have been marked with
the name, branch of service, and train
ing station the young man entered aft
err enlistment. They should be adj
dressed to the recruiting division, bu
reau of navigation, navy department,
Washington, d. G. Care will be taken
to return safely the photograph to
the sender, when desired, together
with one of the copies made Of 1t.
More than S22,0o0,00O has been ex-
pended during the past six months I'M
der the direction Of the construction
division Of the army in making addi-
tons and improvements to camps ana
environments. This sum does not in
clude the cost Of additions to the hos
pital equipments or the improvements
made at other army stations.
The Improvement work consisted Of
additional buildings for housing the
men and providing for their comfort
and needs. Among buildings erected
were quarters for officers and nurses,
repair plants, kitchens and bakeries,
and theaters. New roads were laid and

Power of the Buzzard.

The power of the buzzard to saif
through the air for long periods with
little or no apparent movement of the
wings is due to its expanse of the
wing surface. Birds with smaller wing
surface make up for this by rapidity
of the motion of the wings.

Manufacturers and dealers are en-

Manufacturers and dealers are en-
couraged under the policy Of the navy
department to deal direct with the de-
partment. The purpose Is to eliminate
the middleman in purchases of sup
plies and materials.
"In my annual report" says Rear
Admiral Samuel MCGOWAN "manufac-
turers were warned against prOfteer-
ing agents, professional contractors
and naval brokers. In our regular mail
ing circulars Of January g, 1918, we ex-
pressed the hope that manufacturers
who have not availed themselves of
the opportunity to bid direct will do
so, as it will prove of advantage to
them in bringing them in more init
mate touch with the navy and thereby
make a reputation for the materials
which they manufacture
"The fact is the responsibility of
contractors was never so thoroughly
investigated and they were never held
to a stricter accountability than they
have been since this country entered
the war. The number of responsible
direct bidders has increased greatly
and the number of agents and interme-
diaries has been reduced to min.
imum. The safeguards against profit
eering have been strengthened, not re-
laxed."
There are over 1900 names on the
bidders list Of the navy bureau Of
supplies and accounts, representing
every section of the country. These
manufacturers and dealers furnish
over 10000 classes Of articles used by
the navy.
Because of an acute shortage In the
supply of paper the war Industries
board announced, effective July Is,
the following preliminary economies
to be enforced by newspapers pub
fishing a daily and weekly edition:
Discontinue the acceptance or the re-
turn of unsold copies.
Discontinue the use of all sample or
free promotion copies.
Discontinue giving copies to any

Discontinue giving free copies to adj
vertisers,. except not more than one
copy for checking purposes.
Discontinue the arbitrary forcing Of
copies on news dealers q. e., compell-
ing them to buy more copies than
they can legitimately sell In order to
hold certain territory.
Discontinue the buying back Of pa
pers at either wholesale or retail sell
ing price from dealers or agents In
order to secure preferential represent
alton.
Discontinue the payment of salaries
or commissions to agents, dealers. or
newsboys for the purpose Of securing
the equivalent Of return privileges.
Discontinue all free exchanges.

M|LL CITY HAS
TUNGSTEN BOOM
Deals For Properties Made and
Ore Production Increases

5. ii. Crittenden, well.known min.
ing and civil engineer, arrived yester-
day from Mill City. In speaking OF
the mining situation in that section he
stated that all eyes were conferred ON
the tungsten camp. situated in the
Eugene range, Il few miles from town.
AT the present time, he says, there
are about seventy five men at work
on the different properties and a.
large quantity OF tungsten ore is be-
ing hauled to Mill City for shipment
to the mill at Toulon.
Mr.. Crittenden stated that the sales
made a few days ago of some of the
principal properties in the camp have
greatly stimulated matters and that
many mining men and prospectors
are arriving there daily.
The principal estates are the SUIT.
ton holdings and the l.. a. Friedman
property. On the latter property a
gasoline hoist is being installed. 1t
is expected that when this equipment
is in place the output OF the ore will
be about $50 tons each day. This
production will keep the mill at Tou-
Ion running steadily.
As there Is much larger produc-
ton Of ore, provision will have to be
made for other milling facilities. Up
to the present time all the ore eX-
tractcd from the different properties
has been shipped to the TouIon mill
where it is concentrated into com
mcrCial product.

NEW FUEL PLANS
FOR COMING YEAR

The United States fuel administra-
ton has under consideration plans
governing the retail distribution Of
coal for the coming year. 1t is eX-
pected that announcement Of the
plans WIN be made prior to April l.
at which time contracts with the
mines and dealers are usually made |
for the year.
/ 1t is anticipated that an arbitrary
! limit will be placed upon the amount
of coal domestic consumers will be
/ allowed to purchase for the coming
season. II has been proposed TO base
/ this limitation upon the amount OF
| coal delivered to the consumer during
the coal year Of 1917. In asccrtaining
the requirements of domestic consul
mcrs the amount Of coal the COnsum-
or has on hand will be taken into con
| sication. II is prrdobablc that the 10
| cal fuel administration officials will
be given authority to require consum-
crs purchasing coal to submit an at
| tested statement setting forth the
| amount Of coal on hand, amount he
| has ordered from dealers, total
| amount used during 1917, and the
| amount necessary to meet his re-
ouircmcnts during the coal year OF
/ 1918
III Insofar as possible, the regulations
by the fuel administration will be
, made flexible in order to enable local
n fuel administrators to accommodate
the general rules to their local con
dtions.
