MOBILIZATION OF OUR'INDUSTRIES Big: Question Bafore Gouncll of ‘National Defense, SPEEDING UP THE WORK, Civilian Advisory Committee, Headed by Daniel Willard, Will Meet to Press Plans For Co-ordination of All Our Commercial and Industrial Resources For War Emergency. Before a cabinet meeting the other day the council of national defense, which includes a majority of the cabi- net members, held a meeting in Secre- tary Baker’s office to decide upon steps to speed up industrial mobilization. The Civilian Advisory Commission, headed by Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was called to meet at an early date and to press vigorously plans for the co-ordi- nation of all industrial and commercial resources of the nation against a war emergency. The inventory of national production resources began by the civilian advis- ory board of the navy is under the de- fense council, which already has com- pleted a munitions text book for the in- formation of manufacturers whose plants are convertible for shell making. The war, navy and all other depart- ments having to do with problems of national defense have received in the last few days hundreds of offers of as- sistance from business houses, indus- trial organizations and other establish- ments throughout the country. These will be assembled by the advisory com- mittee and arranged so that in case of emergency the resources of private in- dustries can be placed, according to plans already decided upon, immediate- ly.at the service of the government. Volume of Offers. The following statement was issued by Director Gifford of the advisory commission: “The Council of National Defense at its meeting issued a call for a joint meeting of the council and the ad- visory commission to consider the great volume of offers which are being recelved in the several executive de- partments and in the office of the Council of National Defense from in- dustrial and commercial establish- ments to place their facilities at the disposal of the government and to co- opetate in every way in the organiza- tion and maintenance of the national supply. system and other matters of business. “As the organization of the industry and the commerce of the country for rapid use in time of emergency is the primary purpose of the Council of Na- tional Defense, it is thought that these patriotic and numerous voluntary of- fers afford an especially favorable op- portunity for beginning the work of or- ganization and carrying it into speedy exeqution.” Medical Supplies. The committee on standardization of medical and surgical supplies, appoint- ed recently by the Council of National Defense, was summoned to meet when the council and advisory commission are' to convene. Work will be begun then to formulate plans by which standardization of all medical and sur- glcal supplies and equipment is to be effected. “The objects of the proposed stand- ardisation,” says a statement by the war department, “are to make it pos- sible to secure surgical supplies in large voluime on short notice; to have definite specifications so that manufac- turers of similar articles may divert their activities with a minimum of de- lay or inconvenience to the production of stipplies required by the army and navy, or to reduce the cost of enabling manufacturers to produce the various articles in quantity and to enable civil- ian practitioners to become familiar with the instruments and appliances which they will be expected to use in the event they are called to the colors.” The committee membership includes many of the best known medical men in the country. WILL B. READY WILL BE READY United States Marine Recruit Has Most Appropriate Name. Although Shakespeare said “There is ‘mothing in a name,” Will B. Ready of 8t. Louis has proved an exception to the rule by offering his services as a ‘fighter in the United States marines. Ready, whose name sounds like a ‘slogan for national preparedness, weighs 175 pounds and is over six feet tall. He is pronounced a marvel of strength by physical examiners, al- ‘though a few months under the re- yuired military age. He was requested to obtain the consent of his parents or defer his enlistment. Will B. Ready says he will be ready ! when his parents and the United States marines say the word. Why Blotters Are Scarce. % Did you get that stack of blotters with the ads. on the backs this year? Of course you didn’t. It's the “high ‘eost of blotters” now. Owing to the decreased production and the increased cost of paper stock a Brooklyn paper and blotter concern predicted that blot- ! gers this year were going to be about scarce as eggs.—Brooklyn Eagle. Tea Drinking In Siam. Tea is to be found in every tent and dwelling in Siam. There is always a kettle on the fire filled with tea and prepared for drinking, which is done by adding milk, butter and salt. This is their way of fixing this beverage. A peculiar mode of hospitality is shown by these people in reference to their tea. It is always at the disposal of ev- ery stranger and traveler. He need not ask for it. Neither is it expected that he should, but he must have his own cup. This is imperative, and accord- ingly every one carries a cup with him at all times. Some of these uten- sils are marvels of workmanship and are highly valued. How They Save. “You'd be surprised to know how much Mary and 1 have saved since we got the car,” said the first suburbanite. “How’s that?’ inquired his aston- ished friend. “Well, you see, every Sunday morn- ing we ecat a light breakfast and start out for a spin. Around noon we happen to be near the Joneses or the Smiths and, of course, we drop in. They in- vite us to stay. Then on the way back we have to pass the Williamses or the Henrys, and they ask us to supper.” “But you have to pay them back, don’t you?” “No, that's the best part of it. Since we got the car we are never at home.” —Kansas City Star. Swans keep water completely free from weeds. Dutch children often use their wooden shoes as toy boats. A steeplechuse borse, The Chandler, is reported by the *‘Book of Wonders” to bave covered thirty-nine feet in a single leap at Warwick, England, a few vears ago.
