the builder's have concluded that the

AS the government Is concerned.' Press
reports had stated that there was a

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

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. There are but a few Amer
icans, wi$h the exception of those in

"No place in the world is more favor

that the yards so recently in active op

to rot. If it were but possible for the
voices of Oregon t6 be heard by the

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

company, and David Loring, secretary.
Its -active manager is E. D. Habensack,
a man skilled in this class of manufact

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."

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

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.
