SAVED BY
PLANS
Assistant Secretary Of War
Davis Outlines Proposals to
Army Staff School.

FORT LEAVENWORTH. Kan,
Jan. 22.-Plans for industrial
mobilization in event Of an
emergency, now being perfected
BY the War Department, will
save billions Of dollars in case Of
another conflict, Dwight F. Davis,
Assistant Secretary of War, de-
clared today in an address to
the staff school here.
"These taxes you and are
paying today" he said, "are the
result of Government extrava-
gance in the world war. In the
Items Of harness and saddlery
alone it has been estimated that
the savings made by planning
would have amounted to some
thing like 100000, 900.
Ends Vast Expenditures.
"The cost Of living will not be
20 high under a well.ordered in
dustrial mobilization. Your families
will not suffer under the depreci-
ated dollar and the staggering bur-
den Of postwar taxation will be
hghtened.'
Plans for the conversion of peace
time industries in time of war to
supply the needs Of the army are
being perfected based on lessons
derived from the war. Colonel Davis
declared. For instance, it was
found that stove factories were best
adapted to turning out hand gren-
ades; that watch makers could
turn out fuzes and that piano fac.
tories made excellent airplane fusel-
ages.
The most notable exception to
this rule, he said, is in connection
with the manufacture of explosives.
He pointed out that this is an in.
dustry attendant with such a special
lied demand for space and buildings
that there is nothing comparable to
1t which could be used by conver.
sion.
Conferences Being Held.
To prepare for this emergency
field agents Of the supply branches
are now comforting with plant own
ers and production managers
throughout the country, and are
discussing with them their prob
able orders in time of war. They
are furnishing them with plans and
specifications with working in
Structions for manufacture.
The War Department plans to
give each manufacturer complete
set of these specifications while
many Of the plant owners have
already worked out plans for the
rearrangement of their factories for
the production Of their war allot-
ment should an emergency arise
tomorrow.
Colonel Davis drew a picture of
the result hoped for in case we
should agais be drawn into war.
Bird Cages And Then Fuzes.

From these radiate kilograms to

Oldest British Custom,
ReUiUed During the War

When the war flung the world into
confusion it laid its hand on the old
est custom In the British Isles, most
curious practice that had come from
the far-off time Of the Druids and had
fourished from then without break
until the year 1915. In Burghead. a
little fishing place on the Moray firth,
this custom had been practiced from
the very dawn Of human society. 1t
is the strange ritual Of the burning Of
the clavie.
The clavie is made of half barrel
roughly put together and attached to
long pole by which 1t Is carried. A
stone is used to hammer in the wood
en- pegs that serve for nails, for 1t Is
considered as unlawful to allow iron
to touch the wood. Old tales tell how
a wicker basket with a fish inside
used to be burned. Perhaps when the
first Druid lighted the first clavie the
sacrifice was something greater than
fish. Within more recent times
neither basket nor fish appears, but
the clavie Is filled with chips of wood
and shavings plentifully sprinkled
with tar. The whole mass Is set on
fire by means Of burning peat.
With an oilskin over his shoulder,
the clavie bearer lifts his burning bur
den on his back a&d sets off to the site
of Roman camp, rocky promontory
that thrusts itself out into the sea.
Here stone pedestal has been erect
ed to hold the fire.
In this strange ritual Druidical and
Christian customs are strangely In
terwoven. The lighting with peat was
pagan and harks back to the sacrihcial
fires of BaaL The circling Of the vii
lage sunward is from the same source.
To the Druids the sun was an imme-
date object Of worship. The use Of
wooden pegs rather than Of iron nails
and the use Of stone instead of a
hammer are Christian, for the early
Christian would not use the iron with
which our Lord was nailed to the
cross.
Why the custom fingered in quaint
little Burghead we cannot tell. In
1915 the admiralty forbade the show
ng Of all lights seward and the calvie
vas left unkindled. In 1919, however,
his sole British survival Of the wor-
hip Of fire, the first of all religions
md rituals, was rekindled.

The nearest human object is the
most interesting fact Of a child's ex-
lstence, and naturally is the first
model every detail Of which is eager
ly watched and copied.
It often requires the expenditure of
much effort In after life to correct
the unpleasant habits of voices and
the facial contortions, careless diction
and impediments of speech such as
lisping and stammering, which are ac-
quired from mothers or nurses during
the time when every small muscle of
a child's face, vocal apparatus and
body were forming their very first
habits.
Nothing that mother can provide
for her ehild's future Is more impor-
tant than the practice Of controlling
her own voice in the presence Of the
child. when necessary, and of distinct
articulation, and Of reasonable
amount of control Of her facial expres-
sion. When she controls these, control
of her moods win take care Of itself.

Whether the generations to come are
to be congratulated or commiserated
for having their ancestors thrust upon

them, as other generations have al
ways done, Is question to be touched
on with discreet and appropriate light
ness.
The new museum, If It Is formed,
will be built around the nucleus of aim
already in possession of the Imperial
War museum. There are hundreds Of
thousands of feet Of moving picture

Of the war, among which are the Bat
tie Of the Somme and the blocking Of
Zeebrugge harbor.
Hitherto preservation Of films has
been difficult because the negatives

which is unshrinkable and unburnable,
promises to solve this difficulty.
One film also In existence chronicles
events as far back as 1899, showing

year and her funeral In 1900 with the
former kaiser as one Of the mourners
To the purely visual collection Of the
War museum may be added the strict
ly vocal collection of the British mu-
scum. This includes photograph rec
ords Of the voices Of King George and

Man has succeeded in Harvesting
the elements, or their efforts, to q
slight extent, but the weather still
comes and goes regardless of his eff

are things we can do to better meet

the very careful use of fire during a

dryest this great area has known--our

heavily from fires, in spite of the eff

Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
WHO'S OPPOSING MeADooa

That there is powerful opposition &c
the nomination of VIM. G. McAdoo as
the Democratic candidate for the pres
idency no one denies. Quite as patenr
is the fact that this opposition comes
largely from those not affiliated with
that party. Followers of national pol
itical news are also becoming more and
more assured of the fact that the dis
position to keep Mr.. McAdoo as far
away from the presidency as possible
is much more pronounced among the
favored corporate interests Of the
country than among the rank and file.
just now the press dispatches are Ia
den with stories about newspaper
plot" against Mr.. McAdoo, indicating
that this unfair attitude of the CITY
press is part of the general scheme
of the Interests to create unfavor-
able public sentiment toward his cam
didacy.
If it is not known to the public
generally, it is understood by the pro-
tected interests opposing him that his
former work in behalf of the American
people and the disposition that he
would naturally have to continue
similar service if elected to the presi-
dency, will make him very formid-
able opponent of Mr.. Coolidge, the
standpatter who is quite sure the farm
er should work out his own salvation
without any such government aid as
is enjoyed by the manufacturing in
terests.
Indeed, it is the source of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's opposition that is daily |
his case with those of
us who are not willing to give up the
notion that this is a government by,
of and for the people.

1t is probably of general knowledge

being taken away, the mouth Of an ap-
