Navy Orders $4,000
Tons of Steel for
Four Battleships
Contract Placed at Tenta-
tive Price; Bids Showed
Same Figures as Those
Previously Turned Down

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Acting un-
der authority conferred by war emer-
gency legis Station, the Navy Department
to-day placed an order, or what
amounts to requisition, for $4,000
tons of steel with the Carnegie Steel
Company. The steel is to be used in
starting construction on four battle
ships, work on which under the act au-
thorizing them must be begun before
July /.
Decision to requisiton the steel was
which it was found the bids submitted
yesterday for the $4,000 tons were the
same as bids which previously had
been submitted and which were based
on prices agreed upon between the steel
manufacturers and the now abandoned
Industrial Board of the Department of
Commerce. The previously submitted
bids were rejected on the grounds that
they showed no indications of compe-
tition.
An announcement ISSUED by Acting
Secretary Roosevelt said:
"To-day the navy placed with the
Carnegie Steel Company an order for
about $4,000 tons of steel required
for beginning construction before July
l, 1919, of battleships 40, so, 81 and
So, ordered constructed at the New
York, Norfolk and Mare Island navy
yards.
"The order was placed at tentative
price, subject to later adjustment after
further conferences with the Carnegie
Steel Company officials.
That company was the only COM
plete bidder on the entire schedule of
requirements. BY placing the order
with one company the navy felt as
sured of better service and more con-
venlent and economical inspection"

Man Whose ss57 Varieties''

World Might Have Been
Minister but for Garden

PITTSBURGH, May 14.-Henry j.
Heinz, the merchant and Sunday
school worker, died at his home here
this afternoon, aged "a. He was chair
man of the executive committee of the
Worlds Sabbath School Association.
He had also been president of the
Pennsylvania Sabbath School Associa-

and one daughter.
II 1T hadn't been for the kitchen
garden which his thrifty German par
ents laid out behind their home in a
suburb OF Pittsburgh, Henry J. Heinz
might nave been clergyman Instead
OF the pickle king. His parents wished
nm to enter the ministry, and only
the unqualified financial success which
he made of the garden as a youth
caused his entrance into a business
instead of theological college.
Made S2,4OO When Seventeen
His father, Henry, who emigrated to
the United States four years before
the birth of his son, had brickyard
Just outside Pittsburgh. When Henry
j. Heinz was sixteen years old he be-
gan to help his father with his ac-
counts and also with the kitchen gar
den. Under his cultivation the four
acre patch throve nightly, and it was
found profitable to get a horse and
wagon to sell the garden truck in the
city AT first the boy had used wheel
barrow
When the new gardener was seven
teen years old he had sold his second
seasons yield for 2,4OO At the same
time the first Of what later became the
81 Varieties" made its appearance in
the form of a horse radish sauce, which
young Heinz prepared and bottled in
his spare time.
For time the young man was in
business with his father as brick
maker and contractors but in 1859 he
set up for himself in a small way as
packer of food products at Sharps-
burg, Penn. The same year he was
married to Sarah Sloan Young, of
Allegheny County.

Three years later he moved to Pitts
burgh, where the business, growing
RAPIDLY, was conducted under the firm
name of Heinz, Noble & Co. The name
was changed to f. e. j. Heinz and, in
1888. to the II. j. Heinz Company, and
the business was continued as a part
nership until 1905, when it was organ
lied as a corporation with Henry J.
Heinz as president.

burgh, which covers many acres, the
company has sixteen branch factories

$500 UNION EMPLOYEES AT
OVERLAND PLANTS WALK OUT

Toledo, O., May 5.-About $500
unionized employees of the Overland
plant and 800 of the Electric Auto
light Company, an Overland subsidi-
airy, quit work as usual at $3.50 this
afternoon in defiance of orders of their
employers to stay on the job until
4:06 p. m. Included in the employees
to cast their lot with the men were
500 women, employed at the Overland,
as sewers, upholsterers and in the
mailing room. They also belong to
unions.
Vice President Clarence A. Earl Of
the Overland, declared each employe
quitting at $3.50 had forfeited his job,
He made no statement as to what eff
fort would be made to replace the
workers, but said the doors would not
be locked against them.
Union men at the Overland plant
said they expected the 5000 nonunion
workers would walk out in sympathy.
Threats of violence against them, If
they failed to quit, were made. Po-
lice Chief Herbert announced 35 pa
trolmen were being held in reserve.

FOR ICE CREAM INSPECTION

jefferson City, Mo-, May 3.-The
Senate today passed, after adopting a
number of amendments, the House
bill by O'Brien of st. Louis, providing

airy, the past few days the Senate ex-
purgated the measure considerably be-
fore passing it.

Of 8 per cent of butter fat in all ice
cream manufactured in this State.
Housewives are exempted by SEN
ate amendments as are church organi-
cations who make ice cream for char
liable or church purposes.

wholesale dealers and retailers are re-
quired to pay license of $50.

WHAT WERE WE FIGHTING FOR?

President Wilson las stood to his
guns on tie question of Fiume. 1t is
difficult to see how he could have
done otherwise.
If we are to permit human passion
to govern and declare again the grim
old doctrine that "to the victors be-
long the spoils," then Italy should
have Fiume and the whole coast of
the Adriatic, and the jettisoned frag-
mcnts of the justly hated Austrian
empire should have precisely what
Italy chose to give them.
But we Americana pretended at all
events to be battling for a better, a
higher and holier object. Let us be
honest about it! 1t was not Woodrow
Wilson alone that made this pretense
We all made it. We all said that we
were fighting for "a new deal" in Eu-
rope which would call into being a
commonwealth of nations and avoid
the familiar and mischievous mistake
of planting in the grave of one war the
seeds of its successor.
Were we the prize hypocrites of his
tory? Did we mean what we said or
were we only mounting fine senti-
ments to cover a lust of conquest,
blood and savage cXultation over the
vanquished? That is really the ques-
ton that is at stake today along the
picturesque eastern shores of the
Adriatic. 1t is tie same question
that was at stake on the left bank Of
the Rhine which Ferdinand Foch is
reported to have said "France must
have or he would resign" The com
mon belief now is that France has
bowed to the touching, the pathetic,
the for-the-frst-time hopeful appeal
Of the helpless of all nations for peace
not only in their day, but for their
children and their c!lildrcn's children.
And it has now come to the turn Of
Italy to make similar sacrifice

THOUGHTS ON THRIFT

Save and have.
Every nickel makes a muckle.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
God helps those that help them
selves.
Spend one penny less than thy clear
gains.
Look before or you'll find yourself
behind.
The way to wealth is as short as the
way to market.
He that waits upon fortune is new
err sure of dinner.
Money can beget money, and its of
spring can beget more.
1t is foolish to lay out money in
purchase of repentance.
Learning is to the studious and
riches to the careful.
Waste neither time nor money, but
make the best use of both.
| Remember that money is of the pro-
life, generating nature.
All things are cheap to the saving,
dear to the wasteful.
If you would be wealthy, think of
saving as well as getting.
| Beware of small expenses; small
leak will sink a great ship.
A penny saved is two-pence clear.
A pin day is groat year.
Gain may be temporary and uncer-
tain, but expense is constant and GER
tain.
Buy what thou hast no need of, and
ere long thou shalt sell thy neces-
saries.
1t is easier to suppress the first de-
sire than to satisfy all that follow it.
He that murders a pound destroys
all that it might have produced, even
scores of pounds.

Otto H. Kahn on Relations
of Capital and Labor

proper homes for the workers is one
of the most urgent and elementary du-
! ties of the employer, or, if he has not
the necessary means, then of the
State.
"3. The worker must be relieved of
the dread of sickness, unemployment
and old age. 1t is utterly inadmis-
sable that because industry slackens,
or illness or old age befalls a worker,
he and his family should therefore be
condemned to suffering or to the
dread of suffering. The community
must find ways and means of seeing
to it, by public works or otherwise,
that any man honestly DESTROYS to do
an honest days work shall have an OPP
Iportun;ty to earn a living. Those I'M
able to work must be honorably pro-
tccted. The only ones on whom civ
ilized community has right to turn
its back are those unwilling to work.
81. The worker must receive a wage
which not only permits him to keep
body and soul together, but to lay
something by for a rainy day to take
care of his wife and children, and to
have his due share Of the comforts,
joys and recrcations of life.
IS. Labor, on the other hand, must
realize that high wages can only be
maintained if high production is main
tanned The restriction of production
is a sinister and harmful fallacy, most
Of all in its effect on labor. The pri-
mary cause Of poverty is under-pro-
duction High wages accompanied by
proportionGtcly high cost of the es-
Scntials of living don't do the worker
any good. And they do the rest Of
the community a great deal of harm.
The welfare Of the so-called middle
classes, i. e., the men and women liv-
ing on moderate incomes, the small
shopkeeper, the professional man, the
farmer, is just as important to the
community as the welfare of the wage
Garner. If through undue exactions,
through unfair use of his power,
through inadequate output, tie work
man brings about condition in which
the pressure of high prices becomes
intolerable to the middle classes, he
will create class animosity against
himself which is bound to be of inf
mite harm to his legitimate aspira-
tons"

UNEMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING

A great opportunity presents itself
to day to the men of wealth in this
city. The employment of thousands
struction of housing which is SO badly
needed in the role which might very
properly be filled by an institution
similar to the Rockefeller Foundation.
At the present time, according to DR..
Kirchwey, there are hundred thou
sand men unemployed in New York
City. We are faced with the after
math of war. Private industry and
enterprise are for the moment per-
picked. So great has been the upset
in price levels and in production to
meet the general peace-time require
ments that cautious men of business
think it best to wait until prices come
down, until conditions become more
stabilized Meanwhile, by this very
process, unemployment becomes great
er, and that, too, in spite of the fact
that there are not enough homes to
shelter the ciy's population. Here is
an opportunity for work of real be-
nefcence.
To provide proper homes for the
people is one of the worthiest objects
of human endeavor. Proper housing
conditions have been regarded as the
basis upon which all other reforms
and betterments must rest. Without
decent home surroundings, light and
air, proper sanitation, we do not have
good citizens. All of this has been
said many times before. The sur
prising thing is that in this country
at least, there has been comparative.
ly little interest in it among the we'll
TODD who desire to aid with their
wealth the well-being of their fellow
men. Money expended now in build.
ing serves a double purpose, meets a
coincident need, the need for employ
ment and for housing.
The public clamor against the in.
crease of rents was directed month
ago to the legislature for laws to pre-
vent undue increases. Today the de.
mand is being made on the city gov.
eminent to provide homes for the
people. Nothing of the kind will be
necessary if the great leaders, the
broad-visioned and far-seeing men OF
wealth, can be brought to see tbs
pressing need for housing. Such
men, so quick to apprehend the needs
of industry and commerce in all parts
of the world, should see the need rap
idly developing into hardship at then
very doors. Perhaps it is because in
vestments in real estate have hereto
fore been regarded as outside The
scope of or beneath the notice of cap
tains of industry and commerce. II
the new world that is dawning, such
fundamental matters as proper hous
ing are assuming the Importance they
deserve.
One great corporation has built ov
er twenty thousand houses in the last
ten years as a matter of business be-
cause it could not afford to depend up
on the speculative builder properly IL
care for its employees. If this Zen
lightened selfishness' pays, we be.
lieve that enlightened unselfishnes:
will pay also. The great achieve
ments of American business enter.
prise and initiative in the past are 6
sound basis for the belief chat G
means will be found to provide neces.
sary housing without calling upon the
State orm unicipality to engage ii
the building business.-New York

COTTON FARMERS
REDUCE ACREAGE

At meeting of Pemiscot county
cotton growers it was decided to re-
duce the cotton acreage by at least
one-third as protective measure.
This will leave more acres for corn
and it is believed the measure will re-
suit in greater profits since the red
spider destroyed great deal of cot
ton in the county last year. The move
is also prompted by the fact that the
cotton market u mot very promising
