EASY TO SAVE

BY the same token that the bAst way
to have anything is do it yourself, the
best way to get ahead ia the world
is save regularly and invest wisely
Your children may be buying Thrift
Stamps but the nickels and dimes and
quarters they are able to save won't
buy new automobile or home or a
cultivator. The money to do that will
not be saved unless you save it.
It's easy enough to save II you do
it the w. s. 8. way. Quarters planted
in Thrift Stamps grow into War Saw
ings Stamps and the interest makes
them grow like rain does a summer
flower. Save Tor that happy opportu'
nifty. If you're not in War Savings
Soclety-get In one. Be with the

OBJECT IS TO MAKE
PEOPLE PROSPEROUS
IT War Savings Societies That
Are Rapidly Being Organized.

Government officials at Washina-
ton are PATCHING with no little inter-
sst the growth Of series of societies
spF1nging up all over the United
States. They have alreaSy attained a
membership that reaches well up into
the millions.
Treasury department officials are
particularly interested in this move
ment, and It il fostered by that de-
partment. As soon as a society is
formed the names Of the president,
Der are placed in the treasury depart
ment archives.
These societies are War Savings
Societies, and the motive of each So
eiety Is Thrift. The government, in
favoring these organisations, has not
only IN view the replenishing of the
United States treasury through the
sale Of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, but the big idea is to cause
each Individual member to learn the
value to himself Of being thrifty.
The government is not seeking to
divert capital from legitimate com
nerciAl enterprises. It does not want
to tie up vast sums. It Is the person
who has never saved systematically
that it is the most anxious to reach
This person can put aside the small
amounts that he has been accustomed
to spend, and this, drawing four pei

with 300 of these tremendous guns, all of which were well advanced when the fighting ended. In addition to the Navy's contribution of 14-inch rifles on railway mounts, three army S-fnch units went overseas. By the end of 1918. 24 units had been com pleted and the guns and mounts fully demonstrated An interesting feature of the mount was that it had trucks which would permit it to operate over either standard railroads or the mar row guage lines at the front.
 Railway mounts for 36 10inch rifles from the coast defenses also were ordered in cooperation with the French, machine work and assembly to be done in France. They were to be delivered at General Pershing's re- quest by March, 191a
 One of the projects embarked upon was the mounting of 40 of the 12- inch mortars for use in the 1919 campaign. This proved to be the lar gest job of the whole artillery pro- gram and required &he construction by the government of a wholly new plant which was completed on June l, 1918. The first mount was finished in August of that year and passed all tests. and when the armistice was signed the castings, forgings and structural parts for 91 mounts were on hand In April of this year 45 complete units had been delivered and the whole 91 guns could have been mounted by June.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-14

the report says that between April, 1917, and Nopember, 1918, the United States produced ZOOS complete artil- lery units as against Il ,056 by France and S,O65 by Great Britain and dur 275 gun bodies as against 19, ,492 by France and II, ,S52 by Great Britain
 And our artillery capacity" it adds, was then, in the autumn of 1918, only getting under way"
 Big guns are dealt with separately. A survey of the country immediately after the declaration located 464 weapons ranging from Finch to 14- inch calibre which could be spared from coast defenses or by the Navy to be placed on railway mounts for use in France. There was also avail able one giant 16-inch howitzer built by the army before 1917. From the seacoast defenses were taken 96 S. inch; 129 1O-inch; 49 12-inch rifles and 150 12-inch mortars, while the Navy supplied 12 Finch rifles and 21 14-inch, and 6 high power 12-inch rifles building for the Chilean gov ernment were commandeered. Prac- tically all of these were intended for the railway mounts of various types and the great majority of them to- would have reached. France in time for the campaigns of 1919 and 1920 had the war continued.

smaller British guns of this type in 1919. Over the same period the of gun forgings produced totalled S,44O.
 The report points out that the gun program in reality depended upon the ability to produce the recoil me- chanisms. This picture of what such mechanisms are called upon to do is drawn:
 Not long ago a touring car, weigh ing two tons, travelled at a rate of 12O miles an hour along a Florida beach. Conceive of such car going 327 miles an hour, which is much faster than any man ever travelled; i; then conceive of a mechanism which would stop this car, going nearly six miles a minute, stop it in , inches of space and half a second of time, without the slightest injury to the au- tomobile. That is precisely the equiv alent of the feat performed by a re- by a 240mm howitzer after a shot.''
 Summarizing the production of guns by the United States as compar- ed with France and Great Britain and
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-14

The department ordered 6 mounts for 14-inch rifles, deliveries to begin in February, 1919. These were in ad- dition to the five guns of this size manned by France by the Navy. The armistice served to cancel the contract.
 The 16-inch howitzer, largest of the whole gun family, was successfully mounted upon a railway carriage and following it's passage of severe tests. General Pershing called for 12 of these weapons as soon as they could be produced. Orders were placed for 61 additional guns of this size, but none had been turned out by the time the armistice was signed and the work of mounting them was never undertaken.
 The chapters of the report given out today deal also with artillery am munition, with the powder production and with the plans that were beyond the experimental stage for mounting heavy guns on caterpillar tractors, which was an American development of the war. While numerous experi- mental types were produced and sue cessfully tried out, however, this mo torization had not reached the point of production before the armistice ended hostiIities.

BIC INCREASE
IN DEMAND FOR
MOTOR TRUCKS
Expert Predicts Normal Pro-
duction After July |; Con-
dition Excellent Through
out United States.

The motor truck industry should
be almost in normal production by
July |, according to a statement by
Lloyd A. Winship, secretary-treas-
urer, Hebb Motors Co., Lincoln,
Neb., manufacturers of the Patriot
motor truck, who lately returned to
Lincoln from tour of investigate
among dealers in western Nebraska
although not yet on a normal
basis, the truck industry has led all
others in getting back to normal"
said Mr., Winship. Last year there
was shortage of trucks because the
industry took on several millions of
dollars worth of war contracts. This
has brought the big demand for this
year. The trade would have absorbed
almost double the number of trucks
they were able to secure last year.
Great Demand for Trucks.
dealers in all parts Of Nebraska,
and according to reports from our
district managers, in every section
of the United States, are demanding
trucks for their trade. Particularly
in the farming districts are trucks
needed because of the hard service
to which they are put and the failure
of manufacturers heretofore to build
trucks strong enough for such serv-
ice. Dealers told me that if they had
been told year ago that there would
be such universal demand for
trucks on the part of farmers, they
could not have believed it. Our
trade during January and February
was far from good, but we looked
ahead to the splendid prospect for
farm crops and kept our production
up, stocking the trucks we did not
sell. Our surplus is growing less
day by day, and at the present rate,
will soon be exhausted, when we
will have to put on extra shifts to
meet the demand"

Archdeacon Carson
Tells of His Labors
for Panama Lepers

New York, May Slew men
perhaps have so intimate a knowl-
edge of the spiritual progress made
in the Canal Zone as the Rev. Henry
Roberts Carson, archdeacon of the
Protestant-Episcopal church there.
From those days when the canal
was yet great doubt until the pres
ent, Mr.. Carson has been laboring
among the employees of the canal
that they might have comfort of
ody and welfare of soul. White
ind black, the men there know him
yell and have come to love him,
Tor Archdeacon Carson was with
them in the now almost forgotten
days when fever ragged upon the
isthmus and each noon struck men
to the death.
These early days Archdeacon Car
son recalled in the Missions House
If the Protestant-Episcopal church
here the other day before returning
to the Canal Zone.
1--WE were few in number then and
the work was more than enough for
many" he said. "The employees,
most of them natives of the British
West Indies, were housed in labor
camps here and there, for the chan
mel was not cut through from one
end to the other; but activities were
everywhere along its path. And in
these camps we started churches
and the church moved when the
camp moved, for when the work in
that immediate vicinity was COM
pleted the camp went elsewhere
When the water was turned into the
canal it submerged these places
where we had held divine service"
While the work stretches from
one ocean to the other, with
churches at a dozen places, some of
The most unselfsh labor is among
the lepers in the Mission of the
Holy Comfort on the west coast.
There are to be found some 80 pa
tents, including about dozen chill
dren, and not week passes with
out services being held for them.
Down the ages leprosy has come
IS an unclean thing, as a disease to
be dreaded as a certain death, but
among these 1epers Archdeacon
Carson walks each week, taking
virtually no precautions, except not
to shake hands with them, and
when the bishop comes to give con-
6rmation the only safeguard he
takes is to wear surgical gloves!
"The lepers are we'll looked after
by the United States government"
Archdeacon Carson said. "The
boys are kept separate from the
women. One married couple are
permitted to be together, and they
keep house.
"On the hillside the patients cult
vate the soil, and the produce they
grow is bought by the government,
so that they get a little pocket
money in this way. Of course, the
produce is not put on the market,
but is served back to them on their
table.
Another activity of the colony is
school. This is run by one of the
patients, who is paid for his serv-
ices.
: Their interest in others afflicted
with their disease is very great.
When one Sunday I told them Of the
efforts of Bishop McKim among the
lepers in Japan, they conferred
among themselves, and upon my re-
turn the following Sunday they
handed me $50 in gold out of their
slender store to send to Bishop Nc
Kim. This year they have contrib
uted their amount under the appor-
tionment plan for general missions"
