shaping the archipelago, and a

The smoke of battle and confu-
sion of War was not for 10 Cica-
lese, age 18, of Jersey, a patient
at the Naval Hospital. 10 wanted
to go to sea and be in action, but
Fate in the shape of pneumonia
and an infected lung decreed other
wise. 10 has been patient for
six months now-is feeling better
every day-tho' he still is not able
to walk outside his ward. To get
along so well meant many blood
transfusions for 10 and some more
to come. 10 isn't the only one. So
many of the boys need blood and
more blood. Won't you help them
for they really need your help.
Give part of yourself, your blood,
gift only you can give. Call
Oliver $500 Extension 1872 and
make that appointment you have
been meaning to make.
On Monday, June Bird, Mrs.
James H. Nolan, Rockville Blood
Doner Chairman, accompanied by
nine other interested people, will
tour the Naval Hospital in Bethes-
da and see the need for more

The Slump In Motor Production

The Slump In Motor Production
Before the labor chiefs started
turning she automobile industry
upside ds:Sn there was a tremend-
Gus untitled market that indicated
between 4,500,000 and million
cars would be made in 1916. That
volume of production would keep
the wheels rolling throughout the
ce untry. Then came a terrific wave
of strikes. When the automobile
strikes began to ease up there were
steel strikes, coal strikes, and other
styles of strikes that stopped the
@ilow of raw materials. The autOmO-
bile manufacturers and other in
dustrial groups were unable to re-
sumo operations. AS one cOmmen-
tator put it: THE whole production
scheme went to the devil"
Instead of the automobile indus
try getting back into full prOduc-
tion the probabilities are that not
more than 5 million cars and
trucks will come off the line in
1916. The rate of present prOduc-
ton will likely increase and there
by take up some of the slack of the
first half of the year. Nevertheless,
the National News Week says that
the automobile industry Figures
that it will be lucky to produce l.
100000 passenger cars and 100000
trucks in the last half of this year.
And, looking ahead. the same publ
cation observes: Instead of mil-
lion cars and trucks for 1917. the
industry is talking in terms of less
than 5 million"

Strangely enough, very few people
believed there would be such Z
shortage of key materials.
If you want to look for still more
