ITALY WILL CONDUCT HER . CO-OPERATIVE STORES; LESSON By Henry Wood (United Press Correspondent.) Rome, Nov. 21, (By Mail.)—Fol-~ lowing the remarkable development the co-operative stores movement has taken in Italy as a result of the FOOD ADMINISTRATION T0 DISSOLVE JAN. 1 Demobolization of the entire field war, the Italian government has pro-|machinery of the food administra~ stitutes under government control. vided for establishment of these in-!tion early next year is indicated jnlplace, a real old-English chop-house, The government co-operatives will | yesterday by Prof. A. D. Wilson, orders received from Washington in no way interfere with the private- |state administrator of Minnesota. 1y established ones already existing. Most of these have been established nnder the auspices of various organ- jzed bodies such as the Railway Em- ployes, the various labor unions, government ~employes, newspaper men and in fact by just about every civil, social; labor and fraternity body existing in JTtaly. The government co-operatives at the outset will provide for supplying 360,000 families, or aver 1,500,000 individuais, 1t is expected that in the purchase on the open market of the food and other merchandise that will be sold by these co-operatives, a saving of five to eight per cent will be effected. A similar saving will be made in the selling price to the members of each co-operative. These latter at the end of the year will also participate in any profits which the government co- operatives. may have acquired. This establishment of government co-operatives by Italy marks the greatest advance made yet by any government-in agsuming governmen- tal responsibility for lowering the cost of living. WOULD THE WOMEN WAGE WAR WITHOUT UNIFORMS? (By United Press.) Paris, Dec. 2. (By Mail.)—War is not witout its smiles, Some of America’s women war workers keep it from being too dull in Paris. The: orders call for the demoboliza- tion of all county and food admin- istrations on Janauary 1, and stated the demobolization of the state or- ganization soon afterward.

WIVER IS IMPROVING SECOND STORE BUILDING Another business improvement is under way, that by Kenneth Mclver, owner of the building where Knapp’s shoe store was formerly located ovn Beltrami avenue, being brought up to an attractive appearance and made modern in all respects, an ideal lo- cation for .an ~energetic business man, Mr. Mclver also’ owns the building adjoining to the north and this has already been thoroughly remodeled and an entirely new front installed, making a big improvement. Now he has gotten around to the improve- ment of his other store building and it, also, will have a completely new front and be otherwise improved, the interior to be decorated. When this work is completed and when the proper season opens, the two buildings will be repainted and For instance, the matter of uni- {the change will greatly improve the forms. Although living in hotels, doing work as simple as that which they would do at home, dining in up- to-date restaurants, some- of the American women in Paris go in for uniforms at a terriffic pace. There i$ one women (name deleted or unsought by voluntary censorship) who is wearing a severe looking khaki uniform of skirt and coat. But that isn’t bad form as wartime styles g0. Her feet and ankles are what give the shock, for she wears the heaviest of shoes and spiral puttees, such as soldiers at the front wear. The puttees, in addition to being put- tees, are of the heaviest, wool variety, whereas if the war worker just had to we{:r puttees, she might bave gotten silk. Far more Amazonian Americans are .to be seen in Paris than at the front. The Salvation Army workers, and other women appearing here oc- casionally, dress as daintily as their surroundings will permit. They have a regulation uniform, but it has a feminine touch—and puttees are not worn, If 'the women. war-workers only business district.

' WOODEN. SHIPS NOW HANGING IN BALANCE (By United “Press.) Jaksonville, Fla., Dec. yards in the fourth district, United States shipping board, wood ship production branch, states of Florida, Georgia, North Car- olina and South Carolina, are now on a big drive which will determine the shipbuilding future in this section. With official announcément from Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of the Shipping Board, that the future of | shipbuilding absolutely depended upen the efficiency shown by the various yards, before them, officlals are “weeding out” men‘not produc- ing. i & Now that the emergency need for hottoms has been relieved to some ex-| tent, it is pointed out that unlessg yards in the southeast can show that it is more economical to build wooden | ships than composite or steel vesse!s‘f yards more accessible to iron mines| possibly may be favared in the future. | Whetlier wooden ships will be built | in this district’ after the hulls now i under construction are completed is not known. It was uncfficially an-; nounced sometime ago that a number ! of “pet” yards would be eliminated from the shipping hoard’s program. To date, however, only a few con. tracts have been cancelled. g There are nine yards in the fourth distriet constructing wooden ships. The first keel was laid August 31, 1917, by the American Shipbuilding corporation, Brunswick, Ga. Since then twenty-three ships have been launched—an approximate total of 80,5600 toms. Jacksonville has four yards under the shipping board—the . Merrill- Stevens Shipbuilding corporation, St. John's River Ship Yard company, 20.~—Ship- | comprising 'the } J. M. Murdock Shipbuilding Co. and | the Morey-Thomas Shipbuilding Co. Two other yards here are building ships for private firms. X Savannah has had two yards— the the Terry Shipbuilding corporation. Both of these concerns-are under con- tract ‘with the shipping board. At Tampa, the Tampa Lock Co., has shipping board contracts. _ Brunswick, Ga., has two yarss under contract with the shipping ‘board—the United States Maritime| corporation and the American Ship- | huilding Co.
