The United States government in It's
hour Of need has turned back TO the
bomely philosophy OF Benjamin Frank

In way that he. himself, would have
liked best. The 1919 issue OF War

trait.
Thrift Stamps for the new year are
identical with the 1918 Issue. Nineteen
eighteen stamps may be exchanged
for the new War Savings Stamps. No
new thrift card is necessary.
Besides bearing the likeness Of
Franklin, the 1919 War Savings
Stamps differ from last years Stamps

The greatest merchants and indus

gradual decline in prices and a grad

The secretary Of the treasury has
pretty good opportunity to form al
opinion of financial tendencies. HI
says:
Every dollar saved now and in
vested In Liberty Bonds or War
Savings Stamps will be worth
much more when peace readjust-
ment comes. Every ployident man
and woman in the United States
may find their savings double in

Use OF PARAvANES
SAVES MANY LIVES
British Invention Which Picked
Up Mines Ahead Of the
Vessels.


Hundreds Of American bluejackets
undoubtedly were saved from death
because the American warships, while
proceeding through the mine-strewn
seas, were equipped with paravanes,
through courtesy Of the British admi-
rally.
Fitted with paravanes, the warships
flshed out any mines ahead Of the
vessels. Novlces often mistook the ap-
paratus for torpedoes. The thing made
humming sound when adjusted to a
speeding ship. owing to friction.
The paravane consists of water
plane shaped like torpedo, having
pair of large fiat fms projecting on
either side of Its body. The tail is
fitted with rudders to keep the thing
at any set depth. 1t is towed over
side by a wire rope which runs from
the ships bows outward. The wire
rope is intended to pick up the moor
Ing ropes Of mines and slide them
. along till they reach the nose Of the
paravanes, where a sharp saw is fixed
inside v-shaped slot. The saw cuts
through the moorlng rope and allows
the mine to float free, where 1t can be
either avoided or destroyed.
i Due to the cable and I'm arrange
ment the twin paravanes kept diagon

other single device to defeat Ger

WILL EXPENO
LARGE SUM ON
CAMP GROUNDS.

SAN FRANCISCO, May ST.
Ten thousand dollars for the im-l
provement of public camp grounds
in California has just been authoriZ-i
ed by Coert du Bois, District Forres-
ter, United States Forest Service.
"Recreational use of the National
Forests is as legitimate as is the use,
of their timber, forage and other re-
souces, and as such will be fully
recognized by the Forest Service"
said du Bois today in discussing the
contemplated improvements.
"The motorist and the tourist who
prefers camp life in the open to that
of the hotel or summer resort will
be provided for" he continued. Com
fort stations, fire places, tables and
benches, and where necessary, do
mestic water supply systems will be
installed at many camps this spring.
Work will start Immediately on camp
sites in the Laguna area on the
Cleveland National Forest, at Hunt
ington Lake on the Sierra, and at
various camps on the ColfaX-Truckee
State road, and on the Lincoln High
way between Placerville and Lake
Tahoe in the Tahoe and Eldorado
Forests, In addition, we are setting
out groves of big tree plantations, so
that many of these camps will, as
time goes on, have added attractions,
for the tourist.
"ln addition, pastures in which
tourists may leave their saddle and
pack animals free of charge will be
built in the more remote sections of
the Sierra, Sequoia, and Inyo For
ests, Just as soon as the snow has
disappeared, so that wcrk can be
done economically.
ut is expected that these improve,
ments, together with the roads to be
built from the s2,300,000 appropria-
tion recently allotted to the Forest
Service in California, will make, the
National Forests even more popular
than they have been in the past

MILLIONS WOMEN
FORMED WARS
INDUSTRY ARMY

Washington, May 3O.-It is esti-
mated that of the 20,0O0,0O0 women
in the United States, 100000 were
engaged in some form of essential
war service, paid or unpaid, in the
home or out of it, during the war. Of
this number, approximately 11,00O,-
900 were working in offices or some
definitely classified occupation, while
100000 who had not worked before
left their homes to take employment
of a war-emergency nature.
In April, 1918, 100000 factory
and mill-trained women were engaged
in war or other essential industries.
This number increased very rapidly
and it is estimated that 100000 were
so engaged when the armistice was
signed.
No fewer than 275,00O women
helped to weave the 100000, 900
yards of cloth estimated TO be neces-
sary to furnish clothing, bedding and
shelter for the American army the
first year Of the war; 212, 900 wom-
en- helped to fashion cloth into uni
forms for the men or the army and
macy; 10000 women in knitting and
hosiery mills helped to make the
S100,000,000 worth of socks and
sweaters the fighting men wore; 95,-
600 did service in the factories that
shod the feet of the marching mil
lions Of fighters.
Besides the nearly one million woin-
en- thus engaged, 100000 were en-
ployed in other essential industries
year ago, in government arsenals, mu-
nitions plants, etc. More than 100,-
900 were employed in metal and ex-
plosive plants alone, while the num-
ber in the employ of the railroads
increased from 10000 in January,
1918, to 100000 in October of that
year. Approximately $4,000 were en-
ployed in the canneries and 125,000
in the food, spice, condiment, extract,
drug and tobacco factories.
The women of the country have
more than measured up to require
ments, and it is certain that thou
sands of women workers will retain
the places they were called to fill
during the war emergency and that
many will be trained to fill other oc-
cupations. Corroborative of this is
the result of canvass of III plants
in New York state, mere than half
Of the employers announcing their in
tention to retain every woman en-
ployed, while so per cent planned to
retain part or all.
+ The Judgment of those charged
with the conduct of the war who mo-
biized this army of women for es-
sential service in the time of the ma
tion's need has been splendidly vindi-
Gated.

Up to a late hour this afternoon

cessful in locating the bandit who
terrorized the district between Ell
Centre and Meloland yesterday with
his exploits in emulation of the famed

A complete description of the man
has been given to soldiers on guard
duty along the border, to the Off

surrounding counties, but up to the
hour of going to press no one answer
ing this description had been inter

Will Buy Acreage Ahead
of Production

The Texas California Consolidated plans to buy
leases, upon which eminent geoogists have passed
and which have strong surface indication Of oil,
and hold until development proves up this acreage,
then sell it at enormous profits. One can apprec-
ate the great amount of money to be earned in
this way, when they consider that leases which sold
for as low at $40 per acre year ago in the Ranger
and Burkburnett field have since sold for $4,000
per acre. While the company will operate princi-
pally in the shallow elds-they propose drill all
offsets to their various properties for out of
thousand offsets drilled, NINE HUNDRED AND
NINETY are producers.
