.REDCROSSN NURSES
HAVE LONDON CLUB

LONDON, England, October 5.-Lon-
don is emphatically a city Of clubs.
There are clubs Of every degree Of
luxury and perfection or imperfection.
During the last four years this city Of
clubs has naturally specialized in
clubs for the army and navy and their
auxiliary services, and these are now
to be found by the score.
But when the American nurse be-
gan to come to England in rapidly in
no club for her. Here was real need
and the Red Cross quickly seized the
opportunity and provided what was
wanted.
Thus it comes about that today in
this. great city Of clubs you may
search high and low without finding
Portable club than the Red Cross club
for American nurses at AZ Grosvenor
place.
Where Nurses Rest Up.
The club was designed chiefly as a
place where American nurses could
stop during their brief stays in Lon
UOn en- route TO ana from LnelT NdTl-
Gus posts of duty. Units on their way
from America to hospitals in Eng
land and France almost always find
themselves with a day or two in Lon
don, awaiting transportation or going
through those fatiguing. formalities
connected with papers and passports
and army orders. They go to the
Nurses Club and make it their home
during their time in London. They
are provided with rooms and meals
and such information and assistance
as they may require. Here. too, they
are sure to meet pleasant company
and often an old friend or two.
The Red Cross was peculiarly for
tunate in being able to secure for the
purposes of the Nurses Club one of
the fine old houses on Grosvenor place.
The location is ideal-close to- the
American embassy, the Red Cross
headquarters, the American Army and
Navy, and equally handy to London's
shopping and theater districts. The
windows of the clubhouse. moreover,
look out straight into the grounds of
Buckingham Palace.

Hooverizing on Cream

Many a man starts out in February trading
on fall time. That man seldom succeeds.
The reasons are many. He probably buys
few things he would not have bought un-
der the cash system. He pays considera-
BILE more for the same stuff and he has a
crop failure and is forced to sacrafice on
his property. On the other hand many
man has bought cream separator. The
wife buys the groceries and just little
surplus crop pays for the separator. At
the end of the year he has a separator and
he does not owe the merchant. He IS not
forced to sell hi0 crop or his stock to
meet the obligations. Which is the better

MISTAKES, WASTAGE E,
REVEALED BY HUGHES

Washington, Nov. 2.-The mis-
takes, failures, delays and wastages
of the airplane production program
under the administration of the old
aircraft boards before the reorgani-
zation last May are detailed in the
report of the investigation conducted |
by Charles E. Hughes and Attorney
General Gregory. The report re-
commends court martial proceedings
for one army officer concerned and
criminal prosecutions for three 9TH
ers.
The chief blame for the failures
is charged by the Hughes report to
defective organization in the army
signal corps and the lack of compe-
tent direction of the work of the
responsible officers of the corps.
The reports find that there we're
delays in getting airplane models
from the allies and preparing speci-
fications for their production; that
plans frequently were changed to
the embarrassment of contractors;
that some manufacturers well quail
fed by organization and experience
could not get orders while others ap-
parently with few qualifications if
any did succeed in getting them,
and that there was confusion and
waste in the plants.
Profits in some instances, Mr.
Hughes reports, were enormous, al
though Attorney General Gregory
points out that 60 per cent of these
profits revert to the government II
the form of war taxes, and expresses
the belief chat no such profits wer'
allowed as to justify charge of bat
faith"
The Dayton-Wright corporation
the report says, with a capital o
s1,OOO,000 and government financ
ing to the extent of S1,405, 900, ha
prospects of profits of more thai
$e,0OO,000. The Ford Motor Ca
company on contracts for 5000 Lib
erty motors, the report estimates
will make profit of more than So,
100000 on an investment of no
more than 100000. The Fishe
Body corporation, with an invest
ment of $S60,000 and government
financing of s2,O0O,0OO, the repor
says, is estimated to make prof
of $3,500,000. The Packard Moto
company, with calculated investmen
of $11, 1,S0s,000 and a contract 70
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1918-11-04

5000 Liberty motors, is estimated
to be about to realize profits of S6,-
450, 900 on II months work. The
Lincoln Motor company, with paid in
capital of $S50,000 and investment
OF S7,15O,000, of which SO, 100000
represents items on which the gor-
ernment pays 40 per cent deprecia-
ton, is estimated to have in pros
pect or in hand profits Of $780,
600.
For a year after the country en-
tered the war, the report says, the
equipment division of the signal
corps Of the army was badly organ
lied with "a host OF sections and de-
partments with ill-defined func-
tions, creating disorder and confu-
sion rather than sustained, well d.
rected and expert effort"
Hundreds of flying cadets, the re-
port says, were held at training
camps during the early months OF
the war without facilities for train
ing because there was failure In
delivery of training planes.
The chief, actual wastes from the
original appropriation of ss'o,oOO :
600, which subsequently Increased
the report says, was in the abandon
ment of two types Of airplanes-one
of them the much discussed Bristol
land the failure to take advantage
of salvage from the abandonment
This waste is computed as aggregat'
ing s24, 100000.
The officers against whom crimi'
nal proceedings are recommended
are:
Lieutenant Colonel j. G. Vincent
former vice president OF the Pack
ard Motor company and now In
charge of the airplane division oi
the aircraft production bureau; Lieu
tenant Colonel George w. Mixer,
stockholder in the Curtiss Airplant
& Motor corporation and production
manager of the aircraft bureau. and
Lieutenant Samuel B. Vrooman Jr.
inspector OF propeller lumber and
stockholder in the s. B. Vroomar
company, of Philadelphia.
Recommendation also is mad
that Colonel Edward A. Deeds,
member Of the original aircraf
board, be brought before courtmar
tial for sending confidential war de
partment information to former bus
mess associates at Dayton o., ant
for sponsoring "a grossly misleadinI
statement" last February abou
progress Of production.
The report exonerated from an
wrong doing the civilian personne
Of the aircraft production board.
