Mining Minutes With Motor Car.
The next census occupational dl-
vision covers the mining. quarry and
oil-wcll industries; including owners,
superintendent, foremen and oper-
atlves. Here we found that while
this classification represented - per
cent of the population of the country,
il owns II per cent of the autOmO-
bileS. This occupation is not one
which must necessarily cover wide
area. Yet every hour and minute
must count, FOR all of the products are
vitally necessary in the war program.
The next two claSSifiCationS are
composed Of hotel proprietors, restau.

clerks and employees. Here, If any
where, we might expect To find the
passenger ears used almost wholly for
recreation. But, while these two COM
bined claSsifcatiOnS represent 11.J per
cent of the population. they own only
80 per cent of the automobiles.
This survey of The automobile and
its many and diversified uses only
serves To strengthen the conclusion
that it constitutes the greatest trans
portation force in the world.

Likewise the lawyer, the Judge. the

Another significant fact is that the
classification, Public Service" shows

Of the population, it contains 1.6 per
cent of the automobile owners. This
branch is composed of city and county
officials, mail carriers and men in the

Helps to Speed Up Industry.
The manufacturing industry affords
another of our vast resources. This
classification covers the factory own

their operatives. This branch repre-
sents a total of 27.9 per cent of the
total population of the country and yet
shows only 10.1 per cent of the auto

Located in the cities, industry is not
so dependent upon the automobile, and
still every motor car in this great
branch is doing its part in speeding
up production. In the business com
munity having 1000 automobiles it is
safe TO say that each one in service
will save an hour a day. This would
mean that such a community is 125

GAINS MANY NEW MEMBERS
Red Gross Adds Approximately 17,5oo,.
600 in the Recent Big Drive.

Washington, ID. C.-Figures now
available on the Red Cross Christ
mas membership drive show a total
enrolment OF 23,475 900, or % per cent
of the population of the United States.
or this total the Red Cross had
about 100000 members before the
Christmas drive started, so that the
gain from the drive was approximately
17,5OO,OO0 new members. The central
division, OF which Chicago is the head
quarters, leads the other twelve divi-
sions Of the country in the number of
new members enrolled Christmas
week.
By divisions, the gains were as fol
lows: Atlantic, 100000; Central, g.
100000; Gulf, 3S4,OO0; Lake, 2,30O, 900;
Mountain, 276,OOO; New England, 67O,-
900; Northern, 65S,OOO; Northwestern,
$4,000; Pacific, $4,000; Pennsylvania
100000; Potomac, 250,000; Southern,
100000; Southwestern, 3,250,000.
From the fourteenth division COM
prising all of the territorial insular
and foreign possessions Of the United
States the new members added mum
bered $4,000.
Unprecedentedly unfavorable wealth
er prevailed during the drive so that
the showing is considered exception
ally good. Final figures are not eX-
pected to change the foregoing esii-
mates to any considerable extent.
One of the chief benefits anticipated
from the enlarged membership is the
addition of thousands of active work
ers to Red Cross chapters where sup
plies are being prepared for our army
and navy and the military forces and
civilian populations of the allies.

board, the war department announced
Monday This includes money for
clothing, food, equipment. small am
munition and similar production.
The advances, made under authori-
ty of congress, have stimulated pro-
duction of munitions and other ma
terials to their highest possible de-
gree. In some eases they have pre-
vented the closing down of plants be-
cause of inability of contractors to get
money to meet the payrolls. The law
permits advances not exceeding 30
per cent of the contract price for sup
plies, such advances to be amply Sc
cured
The board announces that when a
concern that has a contract with the
war department for supplies, has
shown that it needs financial assist
ance and has been able to comply
with the act by giving adequate Sc
curity, the board has approved an ad.
vance payment and the money has
been received by the contractor with

ARMY IDENTITY PLAN CHANGED
Each Soldier Will Be Given Number
When He Is Enlisted.

Washington-Dispatches from Great
Britain that a number of bodies OF
Tuscania victims had been washed
ashore, but could not be identified, be.
cause the metal Identification tags OF
the soldiers had not been numbered,
have led to change in the identifi-
cation system of the American army.
In order to insure prompter iden.
tification henceforth of all American
soldiers killed in action or who may
lose their lives in future sinkings,
Secretary of War Baker issued the
following order, which has been APP
proved by General Pershing:
''In order to insure prompt and ac-
curate Identification the department
has adopted a system Of numbering
enlisted men of the army only, which
provides for but one series of num-
bers, without alphabetical prefix, for
all enlisted men, in, or who may en-
ter the army regardless of origin, arm,
corps or department.. Numbering be-
gins with one and continues success
sively without limit.
Consecutive numbers will not be
given men of same surnames.
"The number assigned a soldier
will become a part of his official de-
signation, will never be changed and
will never be assigned 10 another sol
der. 1t will be entered on Identified
tion tags and will be entered plainly
on all individual records OF the sol
dier and will be used in connection
with the soldiers name in rolls, re-
ports and returns in which his name
appears.
"Blocks of numbers will be allotted
by the adjutant general of the army
TO the commanding general, American
expeditionary forces. to depot cont
manders and commanding generals OF
divisional camps, ports of embarka-
tion and recruit depots.
Assignment of numbers to enlist
ed men of army generally will be
made as of February 2S. 1918"

UKRANIANS Agree
TO TEUTON PEACE
RUSSIAN SITUATION FURTHER
COMPLICATED BY STEP OF
ANTI-BoLsHEVIKI.
ENABLES GERMANS TO GET FOOD
Success of Scheme Depends Largely
Upon Whether Ukranians Can
Control Land They Claim.

Washington - Announcement that
Germany and Austria have signed a
separate peace agreement with the
Ukrainian rada probably will lead to
fresh complications, as it is expected
that the Russian Bolsheviki govern
ment will not recognize the pact
Berlin has officially reported the
signing of the agreement
The UErainian rada is the legislative
body set up by the Ukrainians at the
time they declared their independence
of Russia, and has been opposed by
the Bolsheviki as burgeois.
Attempts to overthrow the rada and
establish a soldiers and workmen's
council as the governing authority in
Ukraine have resulted in fighting dur
ing the last few weeks, concerning the
results of which conflicting reports
have been sent out by the Ukrainians
and the bolsheviki, each claiming de-
cisive military successes.
Peace with Ukraine may open up
frontiers through which Germany may
secure supplies of food for her hungry
people.
This peace, important or otherwise,
as events may show, is the first to be
signed by any of the belligerents.
How far the Teuton plan may prove
successful seems to depend upon the
measure of control the rada has over
the territory of the so-called Ukrainian
republic. which embraces rich grain
growing lands.

US. PERFECTS ship
that CAN NOT SINK
THOUSANDS OF AIRTlGHT AND
WATERFRONT CELLS WILL
KEEP VESSEL AFLoAT.
SAILS FOR EUROPE THIS WEEK
Claimed That Even With Great Holes
Torn in Sides, Ship Would
Remain On Surface.

Washington-The first non-sinkable
seagoing ship, the Lucia, achievement
of American genius, will load this week
and leave for Europe.
She will be without convoy. She
goes as an open challenge to German
submarines to prive that she is invul
nerable. No test has been made or
will be made of the efficacy of her null
tiplicity of alright and water-tight
cells.
William F. Donnelly, inventor of the
non-sinkable construction of the Lucia
a marine engineer of New York, will
have charge of loading of the vessel.
Although the Lucia is fitted with 12,-
900 of the water and air-tight cells,
permanently attached to frames and
deck beams and other available spaces
of the, deck, about Is to 20 per cent
of the cargo space must be packed
with additional numbers of these buoy
ant boxes.
Mathematical calculations from
small scale experiments, are considered
sufficient proof that even with hole

would remain safely afloat, supported
by the honeycomb of cells.
Each cell is independent Of any 9th
er for its supporting quality and the
great number of them, in addition to
the ordinary safety device of water
tight doors and other water-tight COM
partments on every seagoing vessel
give so great a degree Of bouyancy
that two or three torpedoes would
not be likely to work havoc enough
to sink such a ship.
A vessel, so smashed and torn by
torpedoes, with gaping holes below the
water line could remain on the sur
face indefinitely, simply waterlogged
with no danger to her crew.
Unless unusually rent open she
could proceed to a port, however, slow
ly. II any event neither lives or car
go would be likely to be lost. for sue
coring vessels either could tow her
to port or salvage at the spot the un-
damaged part of the cargo.

ninth field artillery.
Early Friday morning detail of 20
wagons and 40 men, in charge Of a
commissioned officer. were sent to the
sand hills near the laundry to get ma
terial for walks and roads in camp.
The officer in charge ordered that
the wagons should be backed up TO
the bank and that the men should
work from the sides. Three of the
men either did not understand the or
der or disobeyed it, for they remained
directly under the overhanging bank.
Hardly had they begun when the
entire top of the hill slid toward and
over them and against the wagon.
Miller's face was crushed and many
bones broken. He must have died in
stantly The injuries of the others
while possisbly serious, will not result
fatally.
