RICE As SUBSTITUTE
FOR POTATOES URGED

Beat the high cost Of potatoes by
eating rice!
This. in substance. is the advice
to housewives by the Department
Of Agriculture. in a statement is
sued today. The statement reads,
in part. as follows:
The. Departments food special
proximately four-fifths water and
one fifth food material, whereas
In rice. as we'll as in most other
grains. the proportions are prac-
tically reversed. Under normal
conditions the prices OF these two
commodities usually are such as
to somewhere nearly equalize the
have. sold from 81 to $50 per
peck. which means about to 10,
cents q pound, whereas rice has
retailed at Is to IT cents q pound.
So long as the price Of the two
foods is substantially in this rela-
tionship. 1t is obvious from a COM
parison Of their food content that q
given sum OF money can be spent
much moro economically for rice
than for potatoes.
THE estimated production Of rice
in this country for the past year
was Al. 000. 900 bushels. an increase
of nearly 100000 over 1918.
While some export business in rice
has begun to develop. the supplies
for domestic consumption are con-
sidered sufficient to meet q grow
ing demand.
1.-The department Is not so much
concerned with the development
Of any sudden increase in demand
as II is in having an increasing
number Of people learn the value
Of this product not only as a des-
sert but as an item ranking with
other cereals and with vegetables

PUBLISHER HAS PLAN
FOR SAVING NEWS PRINT
Higher Postal Rates for Trade
Papers Suggested by John A.
Penton.

John a. Penton. a publisher OF
Cleveland. Ohio, has advanced sug-
gestion which, he declares. is one
shortage. He believes that by dou-
bling postal rates on class and trade
papers weighing in excess of one
pound each. and where the advertis-
ing pages exceed the number OF
pages devoted to reading matter. the
paper shortage will be materially
relieved.
The change in rates should be made
compulsory. MIR. Penton believes. and
should be brought about Immediately
through the agency of the govern
ment. 1t is useless. he maintains, to
expect publishers to enter voluntarily
into practical and effective agree
ment to relieve the shortage.
His ideas We're presented yesterday
before the subcommittee of the Sen
ate committee on manufactures and
We're reiterated today before Post
and members of the Federal Trade
Commission. Daily papers, Ihe be-
lieved. should not exceed twenty -four
pages, with an allowance for an issue
Of forty-eight pages once a week.
These principles. if put into effect, it
was asserted, would reduce by thou
sands of tons the amount of matter
transported in the mails, and like
wise would be productive Of increased
business efficiency Of the Post Office
Department. whose present income
from carrying papers is said to be
less than cost. Publishers could avoid
loss by increasing their advertising
rates, it was stated.
Unless something is done quickly,
Mr.. Penton insisted, hundreds Of the
smaller papers of the country will be
driven out of business before next
spring. He said that proposals he
set forth would mean substantial
financial sacrifices in the Immediate
future for his company and other pub
fishers. but that they are absolutely
necessary. although In the end would
prove procedure in economics.

Proposed Sliding Scale
Dangerous and Impossible,
w. B. WestIake Declares

W. B. Westlake president of the
Federation or CitlzeiiA' Associations,
issued a statement today in which he
characterized as. dangerous" and
"imPessib5xH the Suggestion that the
gas company be allowed TO charge a
slidiifg scale each month as the price
of gas oil goes up or down. His state
ment follows:
THE idea Of making a sliding scale
for any@public utility arranged on a
cost plus basis. where the cost is sub
ject to market manipulation, is in my
opinion not only dangerous, but an
impossible suggestion.
THE Federation Of Citizens Associ-
atfons has stood for fair treatment
to utility corporations and a fair re-
turn for the money invested, but I
do not construe that attitude to go
so far as to pass on to the public all
of the risks and dangers of COM
mercial enterprise guaranteeing to
the corporation which has a monopoly
a profit under any conditions
In my opinion we have reached the
limit of forbearance on the question
of rates for public utilities. and we
must either have resumption of
ordinary commercial risk on the part
of the utility corporations or We must
have ownership of these utilities by
the people. r..

CONCRETE CRAFT
FOR ARMY ARRIVE
Two Vessels in Potomac to
Be Used in Transportation
Service.

Two strange craft. the like of which
has never before been seen in these
parts, are anchored in the Potomac
near the foot Of 7th street. They are
good-sized gasoline. twin-screw river
steamers. whose hulls are made Of
concrete and which are the pioneers
of a small fleet of similar craft be-
ing built for the Army transportation
service.
One Is named Col; J; E Sawyer and
the other Col Frank E. Nye. in honor
of former distinguished officers of the
Quartermaster Corps. With seven
other vessels Of similar type they
were built at Newbern. N. c.. by the
Newport shipbuilding Corporation. at
ed for passenger and freight service
for military purposes on inland water
ways.
Assigned to Potomac District.
The Sawyer and the Nye. which are
the only ones in commission. have
been assigned to the Potomac river
district. They will ply regularly be-
posts at Fort Washington. Nd. and
at Fort Hunt, Va, going farther down
the river and into Chesapeake bay In
cases Of necessity. Each vessel is of
535 gross tons, is 40 feet long over
all, % feet beam and IL feet depth OF
has two sets Of Diesel Internal COM
bustion engines having an indicated
horsepower of $50 and giving speed
Of ten miles an hour.
Before being put on their regular
runs. the two vessels Will make sew
eral short trips for tests Of fuel, one
of which. being a mixture Of gasoline
and kerosene, Is said to be more eco
nomical, and otherwise as good as
unmixed gasoline. An experimental
trip OF that character will be made
this afternoon by the steamer Col. J
e. Sawyer, on which Gen. Frank
Hines. director Of Army transporta-
ton. will have q distinguished party
as his guests, including the Secretary
OF War and Mrs. Baker. Gen: March
the chief Of STAFF; Col. Miliken and
Mrs. Milliken, Mrs. Hines. Col. G. r.
NJ. Anderson. marine engineer. and Mr..
Arnold. president OF the Newport
Shipbuilding Company.
May Displace Other Types.
Gen. Hines thinks highly of these
new concrete vessels and predicts
that they will eventually displace IN
large part many OF tho steel and
for transportation purposes Of all
kinds on the inland waters OF the
United States. Besides nearly 20 per
cent lower cost than steel vessels OF
similar character, he says they are
equal service.
Another great advantage OF the con-
crete ship IL that II can be built in
much less time than steel or wooden
craft. OF the nine contracted for In
June, 1918, all have been launched
except one. and all will be finished
and ready for service within four
monthA
Az to their efliciency. he predicts
that two Of them will do the work OF
three of the present Army river
transports Each ono OF them has q
carrying capacity Of about 500 troops
and the ordinary amount of freight
Of all kinds.
