Bethlehem's Bid on Shells for the United States Navy To the American People: The Secretary of the Navy has awarded contracts amounting to over $3, 000,000 to a British bidder for 14- and 16-inch projectiles for the Navy, for the reason that the British firm offered prices very mudh below those of American manufacturers, including ourselves. We know nothing of the basis upon which the British bids were made, but the public is entitled to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid for this work. Two years ago we took contracts to make 4,200 14-inch sheila at a price of $1,515,000( with havy penalties for delayed delivery). Despite the fact that all our experience anhfacilities have been strained to fulfill these contracts, up to now not a single shell has been accepted by the Government, although, on the work already done We have expended in wages, materials, etc $447,881 Expended in making tests for the Government 76,000 Making our total actual expenditure up to date $522,881 And we have not received a SINGLE DOLLAR on these contracts In addition literal enforcement of the contract might involve pay ment of penalties for delayed delivery already amounting to $678,016 Navy Department tests are now so severe that neither we nor, as far as we know, any other manufacturers have yet been able to produce in Quantity 1-1-inch shells wlmh will meet them. In the light of our experience, and having no other basis, we bid for 16 inch shells approximately the same rate per pound as that upon which the Navy Department actually awarded a 14-inch shell contract one year ago.

Students Fight High Living Cost Men and Women at the University of Oregon Live on Minimum Sum. University of Oregon, Jan. 24. Is tho cost of a collcgo education pro hibitive to a poor man? Certainly not, say tho "batchers" at the University of Orgon. The living expenses of these "batchers, tnclud ing food, rent, light, water, heat, laundry and accessories, are said to rnn from $8 to $15 .depending on what the individual can afford. There are now 24 "batchers," men and women, at Oregon. Recently they have perfected an organization, of which Allen Rothwell, a senior ma joring in literature, is president. One object of tho organization is to pro mote fellowship and exchange of rau tually helpful ideas regarding the problems of living. Another object is to circulate throughout the state in- formation regarding living conditions and the actual cost of living at the university. "Any person who has good health and is willing to work enn get an edu cation at Oregon," said Curtis Beach, of Portland, vice-president of the or ganization. A committee on student living, of which Professor J. F. Bovard is chair man, is now investigating costs, ways and moans, and possibilities for stu dents wishing to como to Oregon. The committee will soon have some accu rate information for publication. ANSWER THE ALARM! La Grande People Should Not Delay. If your kid.ieys are inflamed, Don't stand iiround and do nothing.
