F. M. CR0NKH1TE M7 Front Street Portland, Orates DELIVERIES DELAYED E eneral Crazier Lays Blame on Baker Before Committee. INVESTIGATION BEGUN Americans Abroad Fighting With Guns of French Make Rifles Scarce in Training Cantonments. Washington, D. C. MemberB of the senate military committee Friday sub1 jected Major General Crozier, chief of ordnance, to three hours of sharp cross-examination, seeking explanation of delays in providing the war army with weapons. Later they intend to press questions which the general objected to answering in the open hearing. Throughout the examination General Crozier insisted that there had been and would be no delay in equipping soldiers sent abroad. He admitted that because of a shortage of machine guns the American troops in France were supplied with weapons of French make and that there was a lack of both machine guns and rifles in the training cantonments, but declared that the training of troops would not be seriously retarded. Responsibility for the machine gun situation was placed by the general squarely upon Secretary Baker, who, he said, had taken a personal interest in the matter and ordered an investi gation which resulted in the adoption in June of a new gun known as the Browning type. This statement came when Chairman Chamberlain said he was not satisfied with the explanation that the delay had. been caused by in vestigation. "Neither am I satisfied, responded the witness, "but I am not personally responsible. Neary every memper of the commit tee joined in the examination and questions were fired across the table as rapidly as the general could answer. Chairman Chamberlain took excep tion to conclusions drawn from Gen eral Crozier's testimony that congress, by failing to make prompt appropria tions, and labor troubles, were largely responsible for the delay. General Crozier said he had not intended that such an interpretation be made and that millions of dollars appropriated had not been expended. Delay in sup- plying rifles, the general explained in great detail, was due to the factory changes incident to modification of the BritiBh Enfield type, which large pri vate plants in this country are equip- ped to make, to use American ammuni tion. Better rifles are a result, he in- sisted. He also said Craig and 'other types are now being sent to National Army cantonments and that other pro duction is increasing. Detailed state' ments regarding prospective deliveries of rifles he regarded as confidential and were postponed until a later session, NEW KITCHEN CARDS SOON House Adopts Nation-Wide Measure, 282 to 128 States Have Seven Years to Ratify Measure. Washington, D. C Nationwide pro hibition won in the house Monday, and only the adjustment of a slight differ ence in resolutions between the house and senate now stands in the way of submitting to state legislatures an amendment to the Federal Constitution forbidding the manufacture, sale or importation of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes in the United States or its territories. The vote in the house, taken after a day of debate before crowded gal leries, was 282 to 128, with the parties dividing almost evenly. The margin for prohibition was just eight votes more than the necessary two thirds of the membership of the house required for adoption and 26 more than two- thirds of those voting. Both wets and drys had been pre- dieting victory all day, and it was not until the last few names had been called that the anti-prohibition forces conceded theirdefeat. When Speaker Clark announced the result the victors were joined by the galleries in such a demonstration as is rarely permitted in the house. Former Secretary Bryan, an interested spectator nearly all day, appeared on the floor and joined in re ceiving congratulations with Repre- sentative Webb, of North Carolina, who led the fight. The resolution adopted by the house is identical with that passed by the senate last Aueust. except that it gives the states seven years instead of six in which to ratify the amendment. enator Shepoard, author of the reso- lution, predicted that the senate would accept the amendment. He said he had assurances that the seven-year period would be approved and that he did not believe a rollcall necessary. The President's approval is not re quired, and the state legislatures may act as soon as they please after the signatures of the vice President and Speaker Clark have ,been attached J,o the resolution.

Housewives to Be Requested to Make Further Savings Sugar Short. Washington, D. C A sugar ration of three pounds lor eacn person i month, a porkless day and one wheat less and meatless meal a day will be recommended to householders in a new kitchen card soon to be put out by the food administration. Observance of wheatless and meatless meals will be oabori in nrlrlitinn tn the wheatless and meatless davs called for now.

Immediately following the blast two men were seen running away from the vicinity, but at an early hour Tuesday morning no arrests had been made, al though virtually the entire police force was assigned to the case. Governor and Mrs. Stephens were asleep in the wing of the house adjoin ing the snot where the explosion oc curred, but, beyond a slight nervous shock, were unharmed.

Ben son, state commissioner of agrculiture sheep make the best lawn mowers in the market'and he urges every home to have at least one ewe and a little lamb next year. He declares that at a mod erate price they can be secured and will result in much saving of labor, the furnishing of an ideal playmate for th children and a profitable investment His statement follows: "An old, grade merino ewe, with her lamb probably can be bought next spring for about $12 to $15, de pending upon the age and quality of the ewe. The lamb at five months should weigh 80 pounds' and sell for $10. The ewe should become fat be fore fall and bring $10 for mutton from the local butcher. If the ewe is good enough to carry over another year, she should be bred in November. The following April she should have Women Should Prepare Them- one or two lambs. Her fleece should weigh nine to 12 pounds and be worth $5 to $6. "One or two ewes, with their lambs, could be pastured on a ctiy lawn and parking strip in a movable pen about four feet high built of woven wire fencing, with a board trip on the top and on the bottom, the size varying from four to H feet in width and 10 to 16 feet in length, according to the tract to be pastured. The cost of con struction would be trifling. The chil dren could move this ,pen around so the sheep would graze where desired, be kept at home and out of the ders.
