FALL BEHIND SCHEDULE
Shipping Board Fails to Secure Steel
Plates to Complete Ships.

Washington, March 3o.-The ship
ping board exceeded its launching pro-
gram in March by $1,000 tons, but
fell behind in its schedule Of COM
pleted ships owing to difficulty in OBJ
tanning steel plates.
Figures given out at the boards Of
fees today showed that thirty-six
ships ,aggregating 232,7sS tons were
launched and twenty of 1s2, 200 tons
were completed and delivered. At the
beginning Of the month it was an
nounced that it was hoped to launch
thirtyfiv ships Of 220,5e tons during
March and to deliver twenty-th
ships Of 1Ss,215 tons.
Shortage Of steel plates recently has
been felt at several yards, notably at
Hog Island. The difficulty was said
70 have arisen because coking coal
mined in the Connellsville region of
Pennsylvania has been used for ordi-
nary fuel and steel mills have suffered
for want Of coke.
AS an effect Of the disorganized
transportation Of last winter is now
being felt more seriously in delivery of
coal, officials say April will be the
critical month Of their program. De-
liveries in January were only nine
ships but in February increased to
seventeen.

wall and most of the houses are white

are no vacant spaces along the closely

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Suspension
of the meatless day regulations for
thirty days, beginning today. was or
dered last night by the food admins
tration in instructions telegraphed to
all state food administrators.
Wheat and wheat products were
wiped off the menus of several hundred
of the country's leading hotels. in re-

istration that every independent, ev-
cry we'll do person in the United
States should pledge complete absti-
hence from wheat until the next har-
vest, in order to supply the imperative
needs of the allies.
Hotel managers who had come from
every state in the union to hear new
regulations explained
were told by Food Administrator Hoo
yer that the need for wheat was even
greater now than when the new regu-
lations were promulgated. A census OF
supplies has revealed that the harvest
had been less than estimated and that
shipping difficulties made it imperative
to feed the allies from here instead of
from the Argentine.
Ask Rich to Set Example.
Mr.. Hoover said the remuneration of
luxurious foods must begin at the top
of the social scale. not only to set an
example. but because the industrial
is dependent to large ex-
tent on bakers bread. which must
have a considerable proportion of wheat
to be durable. Therefore he asked the
hotels which have as patrons people of
wealth to set an example to their eli
entele aQd to other public eating places
by refusing to serve any wheat what
ever until the new crop comes in, us
ing other cereals and potatoes instead.
1--WE stand at the most critical period
of our national history since the battle
Of Gettysburg" Mr.. Hoover declared.
1--WE may have to cut our wheat con-
sumption more than one-half. but the
sacrifice must come from those who
have the most, not from those who have
the least.
Our wheat acreage this year will be
greater than ever before and if the Lord
is good to us in the matter of weather
our difficulties will be at an end by
Sept. THAT is not a long period of

Oats-After a firm opening and dis
play of strength oats reacted sharply.
Selling by commission houses. the
reaching Of stop loss orders, easier

selling unusually well.
At the high time last week the top
at sls.15 stood the highest since last
October and the break since then Is
not altogether unreasonable.
Many are of the belief that prices
will go right back up next week ana
that farmers will hold down their

market does react.
They have confidence in the future
market, and a scramble to unload on
the breaks is 4 thing OF the past.

animals cleared at s13.25 q 1890 and
one lot at 1915 was mixed steers and
