C.—Industries of the United States could be convert ed almost overnight to a war-time basis, high war department officials have disclosed. Upward of 20,000 industrial plants throughout the country have been surveyed by representatives of the war plans division of the army and navy. Their capital, number of employes, products and capacity all have been tabulated and card-in dexed and the records placed in the divisions permanent files. I The industrial plants of the coun try, with this information, could start turning out war supplies al most within twenty-four hours of the declaration of war, Harry H. Woodring, secretary of war, said. There would be no lengthy “tran sition” period from a peace-time basis to a war footing as oc curred in 1917 at a staggering cost to the nation in men, money and time. “We know now what we would want in event of war/’ Woodring k A FACE AT THE WINDOW By LEONARD A. BARRETT CUBS GET SLUGGER iMifti mm The Chicago Cubs bought Outfield er Joe Marty, reputedly the choicest prospect in the minor leagues, in a $100,000 deal with the San Francis co Seals of the Pacific Coast.

Instead, he explained, it was a .plan for the most economical and effective utilization of the nation’s resources to feed, clothe and supply its fighting forces in event war comes to this country. The plan, if enacted into law, would have a status somewhat similar to the neutrality law. It would remain a dead letter in the ■legal code books unless and until war was declared. Then it would come into effect automatically and immediately. It would enable the President immediately to take com plete control of the financial, agri cultural, industrial, mineral, labor and shipping resources of the nation and to co-ordinate them into the single great purpose of winning the war. Great Power to President. The broadest regulation and con trol of the man-power of the coun try was recommended to congress in the industrial mobilization plan. It would empower the President to: 1. Fix prices of all commodities, services, real estate, rents. 2. Regulate the manufacture, use, sale and distribution of commodities through licensing systems. 3. Close for the duration of the war, or rigidly regulate the opera tion of commodity, stock and secur ity exchanges. 4. Invoke regulations against prof iteering, speculation, hoarding and waste. 5. Draft industrial management personnel for government service, just as man-power would be draftee for combat service. 6. Commandeer for government service such manufacturing plants, real-estate or industrial establish ments as may be considered neces sary for national service in the emergency. Woodring said there was no thought in this plan for the army or the navy to take over manage ment and control of the nation’s in dustries. Instead it provides for co ordinating the efforts of those indus tries with the efforts of the govern ment in defense of the nation. The war and navy departments have found industry generally hi favor of the plan, he said, because industry prefers to have plans worked out in advance, so it may know what is expected of it in time of emergency. < 3/k> c ] L /ousefiofc "w Btj Ltjdia Le Baron Walker There is an old legend that gives us a pertinent stdry at this season of the year. On a stormy night in mid - winter, a prince was far ing sumptuously when he heard a knock at the win dow. He saw midst the shad ow the pale, thin face of a little child and heard a plaintive voice say: “The Christ Child is hungry.” The prince was angered by the interruption and commanded his servants to chase the Child away. He continued his meal but his en joyment was less keen and his heart somewhat heavy# Presently, the knock was heard again, and the GRAND CHAMPION “G-Page,” 995 pound jet-black Aberdeen-Angus steer, entry from Oklahoma A. and M. college, won the grand champion steer blue rib bon, the supreme award of the In ternational Live Stock exposition in Chicago. Q UICK work without careful planning may give an impres sion' of getting ahead, but it is the carefully planning beforehand that results in the faster progress. This has come to my attention recently with renewed force. Two carpenters have been on one job. One man dashes ahead and finds he has to do the work all over again. The oth er carpenter ap pears to be slow, but when he does set to work, he completes what he has to do in very short time, and without mak ing mistakes. He does not have to do his job over. The latter is making a success of his work, the former is often merely making a botch of his, and since doing a thing twice over delays comple tion, he is actual ly the slower worker, although to the onlooker he does not al ways seem to be. Bustling about work, keeping ac tively in motion and tiring one self unnecessarily, do not promote completion of a task. There is ever the element of risk in such meth ods. The person, for instance, who, instead of opening out a step lad der and securing the fastenings, thinks he can lean this kind of a ladder against a wall without tak ing the trouble to properly adjust it, may be quicker in setting it up, but he is courting accidents. Many a mishap has been the result of this very thing. The dressmaker who cuts ma terial before seeing that the pat tern is laid so that the nap of the goods comes as it should in all por tions, may have to cut some of the pieces over again, or spoil the ap pearance of her garment. When duplicate portions must be cut more material will be required, and more money as well as time will have to be spent. Careful planning and preparation are time and money savers. This does not mean that slow work is either quickest or best, but that well considered plans are essen tial to good methods. • • • Househou « @ QmtioN Should soup, vegetables or gravy have been made too salt, simply add a small quantity of coarse, brown sugar to them, stir well, and the dish will become pal atable again. • • • In removing basting threads cut them every few inches and do not pull a very long thread out at one time, as you are very apt to leave / holes in the goods. v Have you ever thought of using oiled silk for bathroom curtains.

Or it may be that stockings, in just the wanted shade, are being featured at one of the shops. You are tempted to buy them, but there is an uncertainty about the size. The hosiery, in all probability will be all sold out by tomorrow at the alluringly low sum of the sale price. So you pass by both gloves and stockings, just because sizes are not known definitely. x The opportunity to buy thriftily is lost. Let me recommend a loose-leaf notebook for the records. A little book that will fit into a small hand bag is just the thing, especially if it has the index margin. Devote one page or more, as needed, for each individual. On a page for hus band or son jot down size of shirts, collars, gloves, shoes, socks, coats, trousers, belts, etc. On a page for yourself, and other women members of the family, set down all meas urements required for frocks, coats, lingerie, shoes, stockings, hats, gloves, belts, etc. It is true that you would scarcely buy shoes for anyone without hav ing them tried on by the one who is to wear them. But you could get bedroom slippers or traveling slip pers, if you had both the number for the length, and the letter for the width of shoes. £ Bell Syndicate.—WNU Senrka.

WWlMI WNU I same face appeared at the win dow and the same voice said: “The Christ Child is cold.” Again the servants were commanded to drive the Child away from the palace grounds. The third appearance of the face at the window met with the same stem and unsympathetic attitude of the prince. But, when the Child was driven away the third time, something happened within the palace. The costly dishes upon the banquet table were turned to metal; the rich food was changed to stone; but the cruel heart of the prince was made a warm, pul sating heart aglow with true hu man sympathy. The prince sent his servants in search of the Child and bade them spare no cost nor energy. Down into the valley, over plains, and up the mountain sides they searched. At last, the Child, still hungry and cold, was found and brought into the palace and in to the presence of the prince. The metal dishes became once more beautiful china; the food became again a warm delicious meal. The Child shared the banquet with the prince who had never before ex perienced such'joy and satisfaction. The Child shared not only a ban quet hour, but the continued care of the prince who provided for the Child’s future home and education. The privilege of sharing a bless ing with another is frequently lost in the very act of dispensing char ity, or giving one’s time in counsel or in service. The gifts which we give are valued not according to their intrinsic worth but the spirit which characterizes the gift. He who gives himsef with his gift shares with another something of the very essence of personality no money can buy. It is that some thing of self shared with the gift that makes it priceless and capa ble of imparting to the recipient b “gift unspeakable and full of glory.” Such giving illustrates the grace of kindness. Gifts serve for passing delight, but they serve also for the disposition of those elements of reality that will not pass away: Cartag and sharing with ethers a spirit that Is a far richer reward Great Convenience. The homemaker will find it a great convenience to have a rec ord of the sizes and measurements of the members of her family. It often happens in a round of shopping that something is found than all the material gifts bereft of the giver. "Not what we give, but what we share. For the gift without the giver Is bare; Who gives himself with his alms feeds three. Himself, his hungering neighbor, and Me.’ Who gives himself with his gift serves three: himself, his friend, and the gift divine. G Western Newspaper Union.
