Mobilization of Industry Is
Studied by Army.

Washington, D. 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.

CUBS GET SLUGGER

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. The
Cubs gave three players, valued at
$50,000, and a reported $50,000 in
cash for the 23-year-old Marty, lead
ing hitter of the coast league.
said. “We know what supplies we
would need, where they are, where
we could get them, and how much
time it would take.”
He said the new industrial mobi
lization plan, representing a revi
sion and modernization of the 1931
and 1933 industrial mobilization
plans, contained no “sinister” plans
for making war.
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.

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.

that you know is wanted, and
needed by some member of the
family. r It may be a handsome pair
of gloves at such an attractive price
that you certainly would buy them,
if only you were sure they would
fit. 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.

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.
