and terrorize the London police be- cause the women did not then know the full measure of their power.
 Since the armistice was signed 1t has become more and more ap- parent that these 1,5OO,00o women workers would have to return to private life so as to give opportunity of employment for returning sol diers. But they have not accepted the situation with good grace, and have answered the challenge of the economic condition by strong organ izations whose avowed intention is to safeguard the position of woman in industry
 The most important of these is Lady Rhondda's newly inaugurated Woman's Industrial League, which has opened offices in London and sent organizers into all parts of the country Lady Rhondda's plans are viewed with suspicion and some measure of distrust by professional woman labor leaders.
 pr. Marion Phillips. chief woman officer of the Labor Party, asserts that the agitation conducted by Lady Rhondda's league is calcu- lated to lead to bitterness and sex strife between men and women workers.

PARIS WOMEN STRUGGLE
 FOR CHOCOLATE RATION

PARIS-Children born in France since the beginning of the war have just made glorious discovery. They have tasted chocolates. In a congested quarter of Paris, writes an Associated Press correspondent, line stretching for more than a hundred yards waited a chance to enter grocery store. Four police men were keeping order among the crowd and women were actually struggling for place in the line,
 What are they fighting for?" T policeman was asked.
 The store is selling a quarter of a pound of chocolate to each one." responded the officer. That is the reason why you see so many women bearing their children in arms, they are allowed half pound then" =. -~-. -. ;. :.
 The correspondent asked one of the women who had with her fine child and was stubbornly holding her place on the slippery, slushy sidewalk, whether she thought il was worth while to risk pneumonia in order to get half pound o1 chocolate.

WOOLCROWERS TO HAVE
 PROSPEROUS SEASON

SALT LAKE CITY.-A wool clip approximating 2,00O,000 pounds is in sight along the lines of the Den yer and Rio Grande railroad in Utah, according to E. S. Blair, division freight agent of the road, who. re- gently completed a trip over these lines. MT. Blair anticipates an inn mense traffic in wool and sheep this spring.
 The sheep have wintered well, reports received thus far indicate. There has been no scarcity of feed and the quality of the wool is ex- pected to be the same as in 1918. Growers appear to be concerned chiefly with the market price; their anxiety being due to a fear that a surplus of wool in the hands of the government may be thrown upon the market, although govern ment officials have denied that there is any such intention.

THE TRUTH ABOUT RUSSIA

An interesting insight into the views of a Russian leader on the troubles and failures of his own people is given by President Nich- olas B. Tchaikovsky of the Northern Region in an article written for the American Sentinel, the news paper for American soldiers, pub Iished at Archangel.
 Writing for the members of the American Expeditionary Force, Pres ident Tchaikovsky said: Tt is true that Russian culture is very recent and lacks the brilliancy and accom- plishment that are so characteristic of the large American cities. It is particularly noticeable that what we borrow from abroad does not easily adjust itself to our founda tions. But, as if afraid to be left behind by our more progressive neighbors, we have acquired this foreign superstructure without hay ing first properly prepared the foundation.
 Thus we had brilliant electric lighting in our capitals long ago, whereas the peasants in the villages have only recently ceased using wood splinters to light their huts. Our universities and scientists are well known throughout the world, while scarcely thirty per cent of our country folk are able to read and write.
 "In our social and political life. one observes the same pecullarlty. For more than fifty years we lived under a rule of veritabie slavery to bureaucrats, imperial gendarme and police, being deprived of the most elementary rights of citizen ship But at the same time we used to have all shades of political and socialistic doctrine, whose ex- ponents sought an immediate answer to the social problems and the adop ton of ideal methods of distribut- ing the wealth of the country.
 ''In a word, we have been very anxious to absorb the latest ideas of western civilization without be ing at all sure there was room for them in our own life. We have always been more concerned with the affairs of the wide world than with the crying needs and faults of our own nation. We have actu. ally learned to be indifferent to oul own national interests and ashamed to be patriotic.
 Unfortunately, some of oul splendid natural gifts, our achieve ments in art, music and literature have given some of us the conceit that we have been called upon te teach other nations how to solve their most difficult and complicated problems. Thus, it is said that Lenine, according to his own state ment, undertook so daringly his dan gerous experiment with our Russian affairs not so much for our owr sake as to teach a lesson to al mankind. Leaving aside his other motives, it would be difficult tc vanity and conceit."

CONCRETE SHIPS ARE.
 IN SERVICE TO STAY

CTS said. If the concrete ship proves heavier than steel she will displace more water and more dis placement means more propulsion costs. Yet this may not always work against the concrete ship, be- cause most ships cargoes are of cubic measured tons instead of by actual weight
 Thus a concrete ship carrying a 7,500 ton cargo of manufactured goods might still be carrying less weight than steel ship loaded with steel rails or with a cargo of ore.
 It has been estimated a concrete vessel can operate in competition with steel if cargoes are carried which measure 5 cubic feet or more to the ton. Statistics show the average ton of ocean freight entering New York harbor measures 70 cubic feet to the ton
 Opinions regarding concrete ships differ. One expert will say the concrete ship eventually will meet steel ships in every kind of com petition Another will say the field IS limited and that never will great ocean liner of fast speed for the carrying of the best pass enger and freight trade be a success. The first expert will answer this with the statement there is less vibration to concrete ship than in a steel and that the easiest riding ship thus will be concrete He also will declare the questions of speed and decreasing costs of operation is one engineering skill will solve when called upon to do so after ships now being built have been VpCi 1tSd loLS SilOuSH u lSdi H lucH faults and good features
 No one now will attempt to fore cast the next design for concrete It is not known whether it is best to build the sides without stress or design them so stress by weight shall be borne partly by the side walls. Neither is it known whether the ships would be most efficient if built longer and with the same or less width or whether shorter and wider or decrease should be made in depth.
 Only two designs are now being used. one for all the oil tankers and the other for the cargo boats All are being constructed to the dimensions $40 feet long, 31 feet deep and 46 feet wide. An oddity of their construction is that while the walls of a concrete ship are four inches and thicker and the walls of a steel ship but five-eighths of an inch, the concrete ship has greater carrying capacity when the cargo space is measured.
 Captain Harold D. lIyn1s is in charge of the concrete shipbuildins operations at San Francisco. He said:
 Every day every one in touch with the building of concrete ships becomes more optimistic concerning -tl,.. possibilities and iu:ure Captain Hynds and otnels be- heve that if designs are perfected that allow economy of operation, the stone" ships have a great future. Today they point out that while steel ship construction costs an average of $210 a ton in the United States, concrete ships can
The Nenana daily news., 1919-04-10

be built for an average cost of s150 a ton.
 Labor is another big item in con- crete ship construction. So is speed in building. Very few highly skilled men are required to build concrete ship against practically all skilled workers on steel con- struction. But a fraction of the time required to build and launch steel ship is required to put a concrete ship into the water.

SAN FRANSlSCO.-1n concrete ship has come to stay; it is to be a real and active competitor of the steel ship, according to R. J. Wig, head of the concrete division of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, Wig has just completed an inspection tour of the five yards where the United States government is turn ing out concrete ships.
 Just a year ago the first concrete ship of commercial size was launch ed here and was christened the Faith. Shipping men and particu- larly structural engineers say that perhaps no ship ever was the sub- ject of so many skeptical forecasts while ping built and previous to operation than this. Yet these mer declare the name was a happy one and that the faith of her builders has been justified.
 The Faith, according to last re- ports, had travelled more than 30,- 900 miles, and no defects of con- struction have manifested them selves other than her performance has shown how better concrete ships can be built.
 Three ships are being constructed of concrete by the government on San Francisco Bay, three in Mobile Alabama. and two each in yards at Jacksonville, Wilmington and San Diego. All with the exception of two, one at San Francisco and one at Mobile are oil tankers The two exceptions are being constructed for general cargo, but every boat is of 7,500 tons capacity
 The concrete shipbuilding industry yet is an experiment, recognized au- thorities said. Designs that seem ingly represent the best thought and the ultimate for at least a short period of time may be discarded in day.
 One of the chief objections made to concrete ships was that the weight of materials going into the ship would make the craft so much heavier than a steel ship of like carrying capacity that the differ ence in propulsion costs would make operation of the ''stone ship" prohibitive.
 This. was believed true until Wig and his associates evolved a new mixture for their concrete, the chief ingredient of which has been ikened to puffed brick that have been pull verized before mixing with the binder cement. Formerly the usual concrete mixture weighed 145 lbs. to the cubic foot Now the govern ment used a mixture weighing but 100 pounds to the cubic foot
 The new mixture reduces the weight of a 7,5O0 ton ship a total of 1,660 tons
 But the frightened mixture created another problem and forced a new design for the ships. Designs had been made for ship made from the old mixture Tightening the con. crete one-third would create toc much free-board above the water line. When empty the ship would have the tendency to behave mucf like a cork. Stresses were made different throughout the ship. The center of gravity was changed anC in fact the engineers say every vita point in ship construction was 1T some way affected.

Looking For Potato
Wart i'm Colorado

The United States Department of
Agriculture is engaged in making an
extensive survey of the United States
for the purpose of locating scattered
infections of new and serious dis
ease of the Irish potato which was re-
Gently discovered in this country. ].
Hamilton Martin OF the office of
Plant Disease Survey of the depart
ment, visited the Agricultural College
last week and in a conference with
the plant pathologist urged that every
effort be made to determine whether
or not the disease occurs in Colorado.
Mr.. Martin stated that the disease
was brought into this country couple
of years ago in a shipment of poor
grade potatoes which escaped the
quarantine inspectors and was sold in
a number of mining camps in the
East. The disease was first found in
a mining camp in Pennsylvania and
has since been found in other mining
towns in Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Martin thinks that if the
disease is found in Colorado it will
most lilSely be found in mining camps,
and for that reason is anxious that
the people in these communities make
special effort to locate the disease
If it occurs.
The disease may be recognized by
the rough. black spongy warts that
grow out over the surface OF the po-
tato tuber. All potatoes should be
closely examined and any suspicious
cases reported to the plant patholo-

Growing Demand
For County
Veterinarians

There is a growing demand for the
county veterinarians to supervise the
control of animal diseases. There is
also growing demand for veterinary
practitioners. Many populous COM
nunities are without veterinarian
but this need is gradually being sup
piled. The real problem is in sparsely
settled communities and counties
where there is not sufficient work to
warrant a qualified veterinarian To-
eating for practice. Certain commu-
mites have met this difficulty by or
eaaizing the farmers INTO protective
associations for the purpose of en-
ploying veterinarian to practice for
the benefit OF the membership and to
supervise the control of infectious
disease. An association of this kind
at Monte Vista is now employing three
veterinarians and find it eminently
satisfactory. Montrose has recently
reorganized and will employ two vet
Grams. La lara has one, Salida one.
I<iowa is ready as soon as a man can
be supplied. Durango and two or
three other places will follow suit.
The statutes provide for county
physicians and provision should be
made by legislation for county veter-
hnarians. 1t seems that now the only
way many communities can secure
adequate veterinary supervision is to
subsidize a veterinarian by some
money-raising scheme which is more
or less unsatisfactory. Every county
should have a county veterinarian who
is on the job all the time, ready

diseases of farm animais.-George H.

Gus phases of the problem met and

D. Z. GIBSON-The gasoline filling
station has grown to be just as muca

tire shops. In California there is
hardly a hamlet that has not at least
one filling station, and practically all
of them are beautiful and expensive
structures.
