ARMY MOTOR TRUCKS
COST LARGE SUM
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, The United
States Army has spent $34,500,000 on
motor trucks and supplies and ac
cessories during the past year ac
cording to figures submitted to Con
gress by the War Department. Only
$23,000,000 was appropriated last year
for expenditures on account of motor i
trucks for the army so a deficiency bill |
for the remainder had to be put In.
This sum of money represents the
purchase of about 2,300 motor trucks
which are in use or in storage along
the border and In Mexico. The heavy
road and desert trails which the army
was compelled to traverse have been
extremely hard on trucks and repair
bills have been high. However, the
army motor trucks have been of great
assistance to the punitive expedition
and the army officers feel well satisfied
with the outlay which has been made.
The army has a large number of
motor trucks held In reserve nt Fort
Sam Houston, Fort Bliss and El Paso,
Tex., upon which It can call in an
emergency.

ON DAYLIGHT SAVING

Pacific News Service, Wash Bureau
WASHINGTON, A deadlock has
occured in the deliberations of the
committee of eminent scientists ex
pected to recommend for or against
the plan for daylight suvlng which has
been adopted by several of the Euro
pean countries. Harold Jacoby, pro
fessor of astronomy at Columbia Uni
versity and Frank Schlesinger, direc
tor of the Allegheny Observatory, two
members of the committee are in favor
of the daylight saving plan. Two
other members-Edward C. Pickering,
director of the Harvard College Ob
servatory and Henry Norris Russell,
professor of astronomy at Princton
University, could break the deadlock
if he chose, but declined because he
only is in favor of putting the plan
! into operation on a purely experimen
I tal basis.
Representative Borland of Missouri
is planning to offer a bill in Congress
providing for the general adoption of
a daylight saving plan. The plan pro
vides for advancing the clock in such

CHINESE HIDES MAY REDUCE
COST OFAMERICAN SHOES
Pacific New3 Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, The development
of railwyas into the interior of China
is opening the way for the marketing
of large quantities of hides which in
past years have not reached the out
side world because of Inadequate
transportation facilities. Advices re
ceived at the Department of Commerce
say that largely increased imports of
hides from China may be expected
in this country. This movement, it
is believed, may check the soaring
prices of American shoes, particularly
on the Pacific Coast.
At present the Chinese hide in
dustry is badly organized but improve

WASHINGTON, Experts of the
Department of Agriculture have per
fected a machine for the peeling and
treating of oranges as a basis for mak
ing organe oil. The department be
lieves that there is tremendous waste
in orange peelings and has worked

the peel of the orange to a valuable

is expected to be founded in California
Florida and other orange-growing sec
