SAVING STEPS IN BUSINESS
Pinch In Transportation Facilities
Call for Closest Attention of
American Industry.

American business Is quite likely to
learn, partly as result Of the war,
that to survive and develop properly
it must cut out waste to a far greater
extent perhaps than men have
dreamed, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
One Of the biggest leaks is probably in
transportation, and as a people Ameri-
cans have been reckless in their use Of
this commodity, If it can be called
such. With the present pinch In trans
portation facilities, now is good time
to take account Of stock.
American business and industry will
have to learn how to save its steps.
Some day 1t will learn that 1t is folly
to drag coal barges 80 miles down the
Delaware and 100 miles or so up the
coast when ship canal to New York
could cut off the latter leg of that
trip. Some day 1t will see that there
Is no use hauling a very large part Of
the fuel which now clogs the railroads
and that 1t would be cheaper to ex-
tract its chemical contents and burn
the resulting coke to make electric
current In great central stations for
distribution over q wide area.
The more American business saves
from purposeless and unscientific cart
Ing Of things about, the more will be
available for serious and henefcent
aims. Americans should save their
steps. ---

SEEK SAFETY In LANDING
High Speed AlrpIanes Have Drawback
That Engineers Are Now
~ Trying to Overcome.

At the present writing there is no
evidence Of any plane that has ex-
| ceeded 100 miles in steady flight, and
these are only the lightest and most
dangerous types, with landing speeds
of from rs to 90 miles an hour Few,
If any, have been equipped with en-
gines exceeding 160 horsepower.
There is no inherent reason why this
horsepower cannot be approximately
doubled, Carl Snyder writes in Col
lier's. This would be sufficient to
drive a strongly constructed reliable
triplane, carrying perhaps two passen-
gers, at from 20 to 80 miles an hour
faster than any airplane has yet flown.
Such machine is actually. under con-
structlon in this country; and as the
Germans have been steadily a little
ahead of the allies, so far as their ma
chimes are concerned, there is little
reason to doubt that similar expert
ments are under way in Germany.
If some retarding device can be
found which will lower the landing
speed to reasonably safe point, these
machines will outclass anything that
has so far been built.
AS far as the design of these engines
Is concerned, they differ In no import
ant particular, except their weight
from the finer type of motor car mo-
tors. A fine aero engine is simply an
astonishingly clever piece Of mechan-
cal construction. 1t is very nearly
handmade from end to end.

INCREASING THE
LABOR SUPPLY,


While our country releases more
men for the army and navy We must
turn more men to the production OF
ships and crops.
One supply is the enrolment in the
high schools of the country and it
will be blessing to many of these
young men laborers.
Another supply, especially for light
er kinds OF farm labor, is the older
men who usually are not enrolled in
the industries.
In two months the Chicago EN-
ployers Association found permanent
places for three thousand men over
as as farm laborers.
Another plan is to enlist vital
healthy women in the industrial army
to supply the offices, factories and
farm labor needs.
There are especially in cities and
towns nearly two generations of wo-
men who in times of prosperity new
err did days work.
There physical development would
be heritage Of good health and
race stamina, especially if they
learned to work in the open air.
Thousands of such women work
now in the fruit sections, picking
fruit and preparing fruit and vege--
tables in the canneries.

UNLOCKING WEST

GhN ne oOOhCES
A new era of development in the
west by unlocking of natural re
sources will result from passing the
coal and oil land leasing bills and tn
water power bill
About 100000 acres of coal lands
In fourteen States, chiefly in the
West and Alaska, and many water
power sources in navigable and non.
navigablo streams, will be thrown
open to development.
In addition, the government also
proposes to spend millions of dol.
lars itself in developing California oil
resources for naval use.
Although the Legislation provides
that most of the development shall
be by private enterprise. except the
Federal development of California
naval oil reserve, it also provides for
government receipts from sales and
rentals of coal and OIL lands.
Liberal leases Of tracts of coal and
oil lands up to 1850 acres are pro-
posed in the pending bills.

INDUSTRIES NEXT TO THE WAR

INDUSTRIES NEXT TO THE WAR.
The press accords to all the de.
partments CT the government en-
gagged in carrying on the war the
fullest publicity and editorial sup
port.
Next to giving space to all the
publicity the government needs to
carry on the war, the press gives
space to the home industries.
The press realizes that prepared
ness at home, maintaining the pay
rolls for the breadwinners and the
producers, is most important.
The farmers and the labor organi-
cations have made suggestions look
ing to exemption from military duty
but publishers ask no favors.
They help put over the draft ma
chinery. to secure volunteers for
army and navy, to boost the liberty
loan and Red Cross funds.
This is all done without money
aand without price and no other
line of business gives its help so
completely without hope of reward
The press is Loyalty promoting the
plans for food conservation, for Ship
building. sugar production, oil and
power development.
The great industries that are back
of the military preparations and the
multitude of little local industries
are given support
The press realizes that the peo-
pie must earn wages, must have
money to support families and that
payrolls are the basis of prosperity

Colonel Albert w. Swain. the Amcri-

has visited more American soldiers in
hospitals than any other man i'm this
country. For three years he has paid
i weekly visit to every American in
amy military hospital within thirty
mile radius OF this city, and this
radius includes over 100 hospitals.
British, Canadian and American.
Colonel swain who is War Be
tween the States veteran from Iowa,
began his work long before the United
states came into the war. 1t was only
"a few months after Englan came into
The lighting that he heard one day of
an American--in British uniform--who
had hecn brought wounded To a Brit
ISL tent hospital in nearby town.
He and Mrs. Swain paid the man a
visit that same afternoon. and con-
tinucd to pay Il weekly visit until nc
WAS discharged from tho hospital.
From this beginning, the work of
Colonel and Mrs. Swain expanded
gradually. They developed regular
Intelligence service" in all the hos
p'tals in their district. through which
they were immediately notified of the
arrival of any man who claimed Ameri-
can citizenship or who had been a
resident of the United States The
hospital people welcomed their work
and did all in their power To assist It.
AS the Canadian troops began to
come over in large numbers. the num-
Der OF Americans in the hospitals
around Southampton increased greatly
and the American Red Cross took
Cogntzance OF Colonel Swalm's work
by voting him IA generous appropria-
ton To provide various little comforts
for the men whom he visited.
About half of Colonel Swalms time
Is now taken up with his work among
American sick and wounded. During
the month Of May he averaged 500
visits per week. Most of the men whom
ne visits are still members OF either
tEc Canadian or British armies. but
the number Of cases from the America n
army is now approaching half of the
total.
