INCHER TO TAKE RYAN'S PLACE Orsaron wooden shipbuilders whose un rlniahMi contracts aKKreeatine about $14,000,000 have been cancelled by the TTnitnd States shlDDisK board have tackled the prodigious problem of mak In un their estimates of expense in curred on the prospective keels, in order that they shall receive adequate reim bursement from the government. At the meeting ofethe Oregon Wood Shipbuilders' association Friday night the whole question 'wan discussed and definite plans for instituting a carerui search for all Items of expense were adopted. . Under the ruling of the board of trus- . . . . . , , . . . l...J1j4 ...... tees ot ine snipping oouru, mc will be reimbursed up to $200,000 on each keel, the contract for which' was can celled. After waiting for Borne definite ord from the federal shipping au thorities, as to the policy of resuming operations on the cancelled contracts, the builder's have concluded that the "Jig is up" for the wooden ship, so far AS the government Is concerned.' Press reports had stated that there was a possibility of the cancellation order be ing changed. Encouraged with this ray of hope, yard owners have been mark ing time, and in most cases, have not been attempting to land new contracts en private accounts, although the ship ping board , has permitted the builders to take on such orders. That the work of checking up on all materials and labor costs Incurred in anticipation of proceeding with the con tracts in Hand will be difficult and one requiring the most expert skill, is ad mitted. In some cases yard owners have their yards well stocked with materials which were to go Into the new ships. Frames snd lumber had been cut, knees assembled and a great amount of Other work accomplished. According to Statistician Captain H. K. Mitchell of the Oregon division of the Emergency Fleet corporation. 2i gov . ernment contracts for wooden ships were cancelled. Estimating the cost of each hull at $600,000 the total valuation would be $1,400,000. On the basis of the re imbursement builders would be entitled to the maximum sum of $200,000 for each vessel, or n total of $4,800,000.

Shipbuilding operations were Inter rupted In the Portland district today s result of the refusal of the metal trades workers, shipwrights and their affiliated unions to work the-full eight bours. The organized workers quit . their places at noon. In accordance with their former notlco which was . sent to the yard owners this week. Some of the plants remained open and a few men stuck to their lobs, but there vss no serious attempt to continue, op erations with the handful of employes ' available. Both' the Albina Engine & Maehlne works. and the Northwest Steel - company shut down their plants at noon. v The Columbia River Shipbuilding cor poration continued with a few men at i their Jobs. I At the Willamette Iron & Steel work Ithe statement' was given, out by plant officials that the work would continue - despite the action of the Maritime 'coun cil and the Metal Trades council. F. C. - Knapp. president of the Peninsula Ship . building company, said he would keep his yard open for those who desired to work. All the yards, both wood and steel, are affected by the decision of the union . men to take a half holiday on Saturday ir. the future. The yard owners, as a rule, are adhering to the terms of the , .

Washington, Dec 21. (L N. S.) Ap pointment of Major-Genera! Charles P. Mencher as director of air service, to succeed John D. Ryan, resigned, was announced by General March, chief of staff, at his conference today with rep resentatives of the press. At the same time General March designated Colonel James A. Mars as General Mencher's assistant to replace W. C. Potter, form erly Ryan's assistant and who resigned with his chief. General Mencher has a particularly enviable record overseas, General March asserted. He was first in command of the Rainbow division and then promoted to the command of the Sixth army corps. He is now on his way from France and will assume direction or the air service Immediately upon his arrival in this country. Demobilization Goes on Rapidly Referring to the demobilization of the army in the United States, General March announced that an average of 30,000 discharges a day had been at tained. During the week ended Decem ber 14, 188,522 enlisted men were re leased from the service. Figuring on a seven-day week, this brought the aver age to more than 27,000 a day. How ever, many of the "men discharged were from student army'tralning corps, which did not work on Sundays, thereby bring ing the average discharges to some 30,- 000 a day. Since the signing of the armistice on November 11, 26,903 officers have been discharged. General March announced. In this connection he said it was inter esting to note that the last army reg ister, which contained the names of all the officers both in the active service and on the retired list and published in 1916, contained the names of only 4840. 2653 Prisoners Recovered Last Saturday General March an nounced that the number of troops in the United States designated for dis charge totalled 824,000. Today he said that this number had increased to more than 900,000. Interesting figures in reference to American prisoners of war were also made publio by the chief of staff. Up to December 15, he said, there had been 2653 Yankee captives repatriated through Switzerland, and the camp at Rastatt had been 'entirely evacuated, with the exception of three wounded soldiers. Southern Germany is being combed for wounded and sick Americans, and ar rangements have been made for a san itary train to run from Berne three times a week to transport those that are located.

The Cranmoor Manufacturing com pany, 480 Albina avenue, turned its at tention to the cranberry, and wRh marvelous success. With a powerful press it extracts the juice from the berry, and when it is sweetened and bot tled it requires no flavoring to become one of the most delightful at all soft drinks. Almost as heavy a syrup, it needs to be diluted by water, half and half, and it then is a table or sideboard luxury. The company likewise manufactures what it has named White Seal ginger ale, another drink of superior merit. Each of these beverages is served in the din ing rooms of the large hotels, and would be home drinks if the people were ac quainted with them. The cranberry juice, boiled, may be reduced to cran berry jelly, and served as such. It re tails at 25 cents a bottle, but for bev erage purposes one bottle makes two. The Cranmoor Manufacturing com pany is only 18 months old. H. M. Wil liams is president and treasurer of the company, and David Loring, secretary. Its -active manager is E. D. Habensack, a man skilled in this class of manufact uring, and who devotes his entire time to his work; "We owe much of our success with the big hotels to A. G. Clark, manager of the Home Industry league," Mr. Habensack declares. "When Mrs. Ben Ely solic ited us to unite with the league, we hesi tated, surmising its benefits would not requite us for the cost. But finally we did join the organization, and immedi ately Mr. Clark got in touch with the managements of the high class hos telries and we got our products on their bills of fare at once. There is a man By H. 8. Harcoart Here is a little story Illustrative of the life of advertising, particularly when the article advertised is alive with merit.' It was in 1915 that the Fanama-I'a- cific International exposition was held in San Francisco, and the Theo. Berg mann Shoe Manufacturing company of Portland was one of the thousands of exhibitors. Among others of its manu factures It' exhibited a line of miners' shoes, which were examined and ad mired by W. J. Foley, manager of the Argus Copper company, with offices at Trona, Cal. Remembering them. Mr. Foley wrote the Home Industry league of the Chamber of Commerce of this city a letter, which was received on Tuesday, : inquiring the address of the manufacturer, saying that it is his de sire to invest in the Bergmann foot wear, if at present obtainable. "They looked good to me," Mr. Foley declares, "and I would be pleased to lay in a stock for our employes. To my eye, they were the best and most substan tial miners' shoes I ever saw." Device Adds to Talne In a short time a little device will be attached to them which will make their wearing at least more convenient. if it does not add to their wearing qualities. It consists of a little pat ented device, invented by M. W. Tread gold of Bandon. and it promises to be come as popular on ' workmen's shoes as the hooks invented many years ago at Grand Traverse, Mich. It is fasteried to the top of the shoe and enables the wearer to use one lace In stead of two, and without the annoy ahce of its becoming unloosed1 when coming in contact with brush or other obstacles. When the shoe is laced to the top, the end of the lace is run .through an opening in the device, the lever of which, similar to that on some typewriter ribbon spools, is turned over and the string is tightly and effectually clasped so it cannot be accidentally un loosed. These soon will be attached to all Bergmann work shoes. Advertisement of Talne The life of an advertisement, how ever. Is what the writer had in mind. Here is one which has lived In Mr. Foley's memory for three years, but it had not before become convenient for him to take, advantage of the article it represented. At last, however, he has reached that point and has had to make an effort to ascertlan the address of the maker of the Bergmann shoe. He will buy this footwear, and the seed Theodore Bergmann sowed three years ago will continue to produce a golden harvest. "Our government contracts are - all completed," Mr. Bergmann says, "and we have returned to the commercial trade with a plethora of orders and every worker busy. We did not find it necessary to dispense with the services of a single man, a fact exceedingly gratifying to us." popular, and are preferred by aU fa miliar with their qualities. They are manufactured by the thousand, and axe supplied shoe factories and repair shop In all parts of the Pacific Northwest Rubber shoes for horses is another prod uct in use throughout Oregon and ad joining states. The city of Portland buys no other kind. Baby rubber baths also are made at this factory. Almost every thing of rubber, nave auto tires, are turned out here, and from the very best grades of rubber. War conditions as to this commodity no longer prevail, and the removal of restrictions make it easy to secure stock from the planta tions where it is produced. As sulphur is a necessary commodity in rubber manufacture, and as its effect is to cause deterioration, with age. that made in Portland and locally consumed, is bound to be longer lived than if manufactured in the east and consigned to dealers' shelves, perhaps for months. This ought to be obvious. Are Yon Having.
