Planes Are Beinff Shipped
to France Ahead of Time
Washington, Feb. 20. Althouch the
original aircraft production plan of this
country called lor the first shipment
to France in July, a small shipment of
pianos is already en route, it was an
nounced by Secretary of War Baker to
day. They are all equipped with twelve
cylinder Liberty motors and have brok
en all records for speed aud climbing, in
their trial flights, he said.
For every plane that goes over there
must be two spare planes aud for every
plane in the air there must be 46 men
on tho ground. In the light of these fig
ures, Baker said, the great problem now
is to secure the thousauds of motor men,
repair men, metal workers aud wood
workers who are to keep the pluiies in
condition. Both mechanics and motors
must be thoroughly overhauled every
74 hours.

Special meeting of Salem
lodge No. 4, A. F. & A. M.,
this evening- Work in the F.

welcome.
The garages and transfer companies
of the city were given notice this morn
ing by Chief ot Police Foiaud that no
more operating ot trucks or motor ve
hicles of any kind with cut-outs open
would be allowed on the city streets.
Chief Poland states that the provisions
of the new traffic ordinance will be
strictly enforced, especially as regards
running with cut-outs open, and that he
desires to give all a fair warning. If
mufflers or cut-outs are defective, Chief
Poland says it would be cheaper by con
siderable to have them remedied at once
than to wait till a fine is paid in po
lice court and then have it done. The
provisions of the ordinance relating to
parking, running without tail-lights, aud
exceeding the speed limit will also be
made effective bv strict enforcement.

' Those who gathered at the Six
O'clock club banquet at the First Moth1
odist church last evcning.wcre treated ;
to one of the most masterly and schol- j
arly addresses ever heard in the city, j
when Justice Wallace Mcl'amant,'
speaker or the evening, talked urmn .
the life and work of Washington. Jus-;
tu-e Mclamant said that although this
nation may not have produced any
really great literary men, yet we have
produced men who in strength and in
tegrity of character ami personality
rank with the world's greatest., Wash
ington was of this type, said the speak
er. Justice McCainaivt closed by stat
ing that if Washington were here to
day he would be for the prosecution of
tho war until a real and lasting peace
could be had, and that ho would be for
this country taking an active part in
the peace treaties and in moulding the
future ideals of the world for the new
demoe-racy. One of tho enjoyable fea
tures of the evening was a vocal duet
by Messrs. Todd and Schramm, with
Mrs. Schramm at the piano.
National Prohibition
Up Against Obstacle
Washington, Feb. 20. National pro
hibition faced today an unexpected ob-
Charging that the national prohibition
amendment was not constitutiyx'ly
passed by congress, Representative Mc-
tion demanding an. investigation of
the house vote by the judiciary commit
tee. McLemoro bases his contention on
the fact that the amendment ouly pass
ed the house by a two thirds vote of
those present. The constitution provides
that amendments must hare "a two
thirds vote of both houses." McLemore
interprets this to mean two thirds of all
members.
The house vote was 2S2 to 123, lack
ing eight votes of being two thirds of
the house membership of 425. The
amendment passed the senate by two
thirds of all members.
The constitution specifically provides
in other instances, such as impeachment,!

Nation's Industries Are
Grouped Into Divisions
, . , . , . ......
the nation 's industries into four divis-
ions ranging from essentials to luxur-
ies and creation of an inter-departmental
board to deiermine priorities within
these groups, is in process of formation
it was learned today. The groups will
be as follows:
1 Essential to individual lifo and
health, including fuel for railroads and
ships.
2 Equipment necessary for group
one, including agricultural and mining
needs, munitions of war.
3 Peace time necessities.
4 Luxuries.
Groups 3 and 4 will probably be put
on a 50 per cent coal ration.' Embar
goes by the railroad administration will
be used as a means of enforcing prior
ities established.
Members of the priority board will in-'
elude representatives of the war and

cmae representatives of the war and!

I and probably the food and railroad ad -
i ministration. This bnnnl will wnrk in
close co-operation with the fuel admin-
istration.
As the first step in this direction, all
the glass makers have voluntarily
agreed to reduce coal consumption 50
percent, beginning immediately.
