THE LESSON
OF COLUMBUS
by Ruth Taylor

Behind him lay the gray
Azores,
Behind, the Gates Of Her
cules;
Before him not the ghost Of
shores;
Before him only shoreless
seas.
So begins Joaquin Miller's
great poem on Columbus "A
poem for all those who are
facing a time Of danger. Col
umbus had only belief by
which to sail He set out into
an unknown ocean, which the
fears of more tinid men had
peopled with fabulous mons
ters and half-hinted perils.
His ships were small, his crew
mutinous, his seconds in COM
mand envious that this for
eigner' should be placed over
them.
All he had was an ideaa
plan which was new, and
which wise men sWore could
never be carried out. But he
did it. He set his course
straight ahead, and stuck to
it. The monsters did not ap-
pear but unforeseen hardships
did. The ships were Eecalmed
for days in the Doldrams that
patch of ocean where the
wind seldom blows. The pro-
visions and water ran low,
and the ocean was wider than
his widest calculations. But
still he went on.
What he faced, we face to-
day. If we went ahead, our
timid sailors declared, the
monsters Of war would engulf
us. But like Columbus we
sailed by our star. We now
face the difficulties Of curtail-
ment of what we deem neces-
sites. We will need the extra
energies Of men to pull us
through the inaction cf the
Doldrunas. We will have to

THE compromise on the Anti-Ill-

the Congress-, Is more Of a victory
for the farm groups than for the

no reduction In the present prices

islatiye action that would have re-
suited In the reduction of many
farm prices, while at the same time
not only failing to control wage
rates, but actually authorizing A

der the compromise legislation,
ceilings are placed on farm prices
at one hundred per cent Of parity
or at the prices prevailing on Sep

be the highest. The new law also
directs and authorizes the Presi-
dent to take into consideration in

prices. Likewise the President is
directed TO issue general order by
November 1st stabilizing prices,

practicable However, the bill will
permit increases in industrial wages
of as much as fifteen per cent

War Contract Plans
For Less Coneested
Areas Surveyed
Lund and McNutt Study
Proposal to Reject Bids
Where Labor Is Short

The Government plans to relieve
crowded war production areas by
placing war contracts with Arms in
sections where less congestion ex-
lists, 1t was learned yesterday.
A proposal is being worked out
which would empower procurement
o1icers Of the armed services to re-
iect low bids on contracts coming
from areas where there is q short
age Of labor.
The directive to carry out this
proposal has been prepared, it was
understood, but has not been ap-
proved in final form by high OH
ciAk.
Confidential Labor Report.
Working out the plan are Wendell
Lund, director of the War Pro-
duction Board Labor Division;
Chairman Paul v. McNutt Of the
War Manpower Commission, Gov
ernment procurement officers and
the Federal Employment Service.
A highly confidential report on
labor supply prepared several weeks
ago precipitated action on the new
plan. There are more than a score
OF areas over the country, it was
said, where a critical shortage of
labor exists. Some of the cities in
this section affected by the pro-
posal are Baltimore and Norfolk.
The plan under consideration
calls for holding war work in the
affected areas to about the current
level. Issuance of contracts to firms
In labor shortage areas was said
to be actually impeding the war
effort.
WPB Unit Seen Hit.
No contracts would be granted
to new Arms in the crowded Sec
tions under the plan. This action,
1t was said, would make more diff
cult the work of the Smaller War
Plants Corp, set up under the WPB
to spread work among small firms
which now are outside the war
enort. Many of these firms are
located In cities where critical labor
situations exist.
The Government has precedent
for the action, it was pointed out.
Last year, the old Once of Produc-
ton Management ruled that pro-
curement officers could give con-
tracts to firms whose bids were as
high As Is per cent above the low
offer. This WAS done to spread war
contracts among larger number of
firms.

New Draft Forms
Issued for Key Men
Deferment Cases
SimpIified Statements
Expected to Lessen
Work Of Employers

National Selective Service head
quarters has issued q simplified
form 42-A and revised form A,
designed to assist employers in their
applications for deferment of nee
essary men" and to lessen the
paper work" of local boards when
considering occupational classifica-
tions.
In issuing the new forms, national
headquarters urged employers to
use them In connections with all key
men among their workers, regard
less Of whether or not these regis
trarits have been deferred for other
reasons.
Dependency Cases.
Information required by the new
forms is particularly advisable, It
was pointed out, In connection with
q necessary man" who has been
deferred for dependency, because it
will help to prevent the possibility
of his being indicted when men
with dependents are considered for
military service.
Filing of the forms also gives an
employe the right to appeal a
change in an employees classifca-
ton, it VAS said.
Form 42-A, on which industrial
employers make application for de-
ferment of necessary men, has been
reduced from a four-page to a two
page document, although all per-
tinent questions have been retained.
In Affidavit Form.
Revised form AZ is for use by en-

Leaders Tell How Advertising
Aids Business and War Effort

Quoting its business, according to the
federation which said:
This is particularly true of COM
panies which are partially or tenn
porarily out of the market because
of scarcities or conversion of faciH-
ties to war production.
"One Of the most valuable assets
of every established business, and
the most difficult to replace, is the
distribution mechanism it has
created, including trade contacts and
channels, the prestige of its product
and brand name, and the company's
reputation and good will in the
minds of its customers and the gen.
eral public.
But experience has shown that
people forget quickly, and every year
many new consumers come into the
market. Companies which tenn
porarily neglect or abandon their
distribution mechanisms seldom are
able to rebuild them. That Is the
experience of the past.
But these valuable assets can be
saved from destruction. They can
be preserved through intelligent use
Of advertising. especially planned for
the purpose"

DiscIoses Projects to
Widen BottIenecks
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 18.-1ron
Age, iron and steel trade journal,
said today moves to widen many
vital bottlenecks in war production
had been made or were about to be
made.
"A new plant to turn out turbo-
generators and turbines is under
way for completion by next July"
the publication said.
IAN extremely large arsenal,
which Is to be q duplicate Of . widely
publicized Midwestern plant, Is to be
built in Ohio, and efforts to obtain
the necessary machine tools and
other equipment will be started
shortly.
Another important Midwestern
war project is the plan by leading
steel company to manufacture steel
tubing for aircraft construction. An
idle plant in Ohio is to be utilized in
manufacturing bayonets.
Signs Point TO U. S. Offensive.
Signs are appearing at many
points in the metal working indus
try that the United States is plan
ming for an offensive war. Steel
order backlogs show, for example
that hundreds OF thousands of tons
of sheets and wire mesh will be
utilized in 1912 for airplane landing
mats.
From now on. orders affecting
the production and use Of vital ma
terials like steel will grow still more
severe. The biggest industry to be
halted, for conversion to war imple-
ment manufacture, has. of course,
been the automotive industry.
This week the construction in
dustry is being placed on the block
for the good of the Nation. All con-
struction, the Iron Age has learned,
will soon be stopped by an order Of
the War Production Board. After
the stop date, all new construction
will be licensed, so that vital metals
and other materials may be directed
to the war effort.
Building Ban Explained.
Reasons for the coming ban on
building are readily discernible.
With orders for steel to be used in
defense plants and military bases
continuing to pour in, the steel REIN
forcing bar situation has become
critical. All the orders now being
placed bear high priority ratings"
The magazine commented also
that to some observers the industry
seemed closer to the point at which
the w. P. B. will have to consider
the absolute ALLEGATION Of all avail
able ingots.
1t reported ingot production this
week reached new high point Of
81 per cent Of capacity, a point over

"On the scrapers' areas in Tangier

Glass Fiber Board Finer

By tht Associated Press.

By fht Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March ls.-As a
substitute for cork in very cold
refrigerator and roof insulation,
the Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corp.
announced board" made of glass
fiber finer than human hair.
Imports OF cork from Spain and
Portugal have been limited by the
war. The corporation said the fiber
glass. finer than anything except
eiderdown, could be pressed into
boards one to two inches thick
which might be used even for side
walks.
Fiber glass has been used for in
sulation since the American process
for making it was perfected several
years ago, according to the corpo-
ration. but the glass board may be
used for much lower temperatures.
