an integral part of our national
transportation system.

transportation system.
The present strain on our trans.
portatiOn facilities has emphasized
our need for improved means Of in.
ternal communication not only be-
tween cities but also reaching out
into every agricultural community
The rural motor express is not,
however, development to meet an
emergency only, but rather an expan-
sion of transportation facilities to
meet the growing demands, to bring
| the consumer in closer touch with
| the producer; to relieve the producer
| OF the burden of marketing his pro-
duce and permit him to remain on
the land where his labor is of highest
value to the community.
The Organization of New Routes
The state highways transport COM
mittees are organizing local commit
tees in all communities where there
appears to be the need for improved
rural transportation. The local COM
mittee first secures cooperation of
the local press and leading organiza-
lions interested in transportation and
food supplies. Among the various
groups who might be interested are
the following: Chambers of COM
merce, boards of trade, merchants
associations, local food administra-
tors, farmers clubs, county agricul-
tural agents dealers in farm imple-
ments, feed, fertilizers, grain and
other farm produce.
Meeting of the representatives of
these organizations are held to ex-
plain the plan of rural express and
to make general survey of local
needs. Among the facts that are
brought out at such meetings are the
following:
1. Experience of existing motor
truck lines in the locality.
2. Instances of localities now
lacking such facilities.
8. Conditions>of highways in such
localities.
4. Labor shortage among farmers.
5. Transportation facilities of
country merchants from wholesale
centres.
After general survey of the coun-
try or district has been made the To-
cal committee conducts an intensive
survey by means of mailed question
naires or personal visits among farm
ers and merchants alone route of
prospective lines. Lists of names of
farmers and merchants are secured
thru county agricultural agents or
their local organizations.
b. When the desirab ility of establish
ing new route for certain section
has been determined the committee
proceeds to consult owners of trucks,
farmers, and other private owners to
locate a man to establish the route
Questions of scale of charges, the
schedule of the trips, character of
produce to be carried, etc., are
worked out by the committee on the
basis of experience of existing lines
In the same community, or other
lines which have been surveyed by
the state committee.
Detailed suggestions on conduct
ing these local surveys, methods Of |
making surveys thru missionaries,
questions concerning roads, charges,
etc., will be furnished by the high
ways transport committee of the
council of national defense thru the |
state committees. The plan of or
Is to adapt the service as
perfectly as possible to local require
ments, utilizing at the same time the
experience of communities turnout

national committees.

portunity to hear the Nightingale oi

throated italian girl whose name is
q synonym for cheer along the hard
pressed italian front and throughout
Rome, makes her American debut.
She is singing for the children OF
the italian refugees.
The story OF Signorina Giannini
reads like q chapter from a fairy
tale.
/ She Is the daughter Of FerruccIo
/ Giannini, gifted Italian tenor, who
has for years sung about the clubs

tho girl sailed away for Italy. where
she threw herself into study at Milan.
Her success Is attssted by the fact
that she has sung the leading So
pranO roles in Italy in the heaviest
operas.
Then came the war. Along the
front among the soldiers, SIEnorIns
Gianntni sang. spreading cheer and

she sang for the wounded. soothing
their last hours or speeding them

One night the King OF Italy passed
that way Thrilled by the wonderful
notes ringing out on the night air.

his compliments to the little Italian
singer from Philadelphia.

PROHIBITION FIGHT
CARRIED TO SENATE
BY FOOD MEASURE

Indications today are that the Ran
dali amendment to the food produe-
tion bill, intended to force the Prssi-
dent to forbid the use OF foodstufs
in the manufacture OF wines and
beer, will easily be beaten in the
Senate.
At the same time, there are pros
poets OF a bitter prohibition contro-
versy growing out of the Jones sub
stituts for the Randall amendment.
Senator Jones of Washington has
offered. a substitute which would d.
rectly prohibit the use OF foodBtufS
in the manufacture Of alcoholic
beverages.
Although the Randall amendment
passed the House, It is incurrinE op-
position in the Senate, even from
some of the drys who do not like TO
vote for It becuse 1t seeks to force
the President to issue a proeIama-
tIon to prevent wine and beer manu-
facture.

suOsitute' "hiCh ieaNe5 the FTe5F
dent out OF It and seeks to accom-
plish its purpose directly. It iS sx-
pected this will line up the entire
dry strength OF the Senate unless the
President interveneB with . strong
hand.
One OF the possibilities is that the
Randall amendment will lose out in
committee and then that q point Of
order will be raised against the Jones
plan. II this is the case, q two
thirds vote might be required TO suB-
pend the rules. That would doubtless

President Wilson has accepted the
resignation of Charles NJ. Schwab as
director of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, the White House announced
late yesterday.
The following wireless message
was received by Secretary Tumulty
this afternoon from President Will
son aboard the George washington,
to be conveyed to Mr. Schwab.
81 accept your resignation only
because you wish it, and because
feel that must do so in fairness to
you. You have been exceedingly
generous in giving your services and
they have been invaluable Want to
thank you very cordially, indeed, for
all that you have done. Shall al
ways remember it as 1 am sure all
your associates in the Government
will, as a service of unusual value
and distinction"
No Changes to Result.
No change in the Shipping Board or
Emergency Fleet Corporation argani-
ration will be madeA as the result Of
Mr.. Schwab's resignation, it was said
At the offices of the board here. The
position of director general will not
be filled.
Charles Piez, vice presidest and
general manager OF the fleet corpora
tion, will direct the operation OF the
organization, it was said.
The resignation was no surprise
here. Schwab had said publicly sew
eral times recently that he was anx-
ious to be relieved OF his duties. He
felt, he told friends, that the ext
gency through which he had agreed
TO contribute his services. had passed.
The shipbuilding program was suf-
ficiently well advanced to insure its
completion without dificlty. The
work placed on Hurley as a result of
his resignation, Schwab explained,
would not be great.
A Production Soon Doubled.
Under Mr.. Schwab's leadership.
American shipyards reached the high
water mark in production. From an
output OF around zoo. 700 deadweight
tons per month in the spring. the pro-
duction was more than doubled in
September and October. The Novem-
Der deliveries Of completed ships was
80. 900 deadweight tons.
f, The present organization, developed
for the most part by Mr.. Schwab,
was said by Mr.. Hurley ito be the
best he ever had seen"
Officials believe Mr.. Schwab will
retire about February 1. Mr.. Hurley,
who is in Europe, Is expected to re-
turn about the first of the year, and
Mr.. Schwab viii be relieved as soon
thereafter as his affairs can be closed
hp and the expected reorganization
can be accomplished.
: The resignation of Mr.. SchwAb was
eubmitted nearly two weeks ago, IL
was learned It was also said Chair
man Hurley would cut short his stay
IN Europe
:, The resignation, his friends say,
vas brought about by conditions aris-
ing from neglect OF his private in
eerests during the time he has given
hts services to the Government Mr..
Schwab. along with a group OF other
steel men, will shortly leave for Eu-
rope to further plans for securing
trade for Independent American steel
Manufacturers, friends believe.
