WASHINGTON Senator Works ol
California has announced that he In
tends to press hl3 plan for the ap
propriation by Congress of money for
the purchase of a strip of land along
several blocks of two of the most j
prominent thoroughfares near th< |
capitol in Washington to be used for
the erection of buildings representing,
the several states of the union.
The plan contemplates the erection
by each 3tnte of a monumental bull ling
in which will be housed n permanent
xpcsitlon of the products of its tcr
rilciy, both agricultural and manu
factures. Senator Works says that he
has been in communication with gov
ernors of state3 and political leaders
of the various legislatures and that
the plan had met with an enthusiastic
reception.
The western states, especially 'he
extreme western states, Senator
Works said, are almost certain to
strongly favor the plan, without ex
ception.
Senator Work.0 will make an effort
to induce as many legislatures as have
meetings this winter to authorize 'he
erection of buildings representing
their states at Washington. The
series of 48 buildings, under Senator
Wctks’ plan, would constitute a tre
j mendous exhibit of the resources o4
the whole country which would he of
d’tect advantage to the people of the
home communities. The buildings
would be arrangod so ns to make a
pleasing addition to the many fine
architectural monuments already in
Washington.
The California Senator will bring up
hit: measure us early in this winter's
session of Congress as possible and he
hope to get favorable action upon it
before March 4.

Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.

versal military service for the youth
of the country is rapidly taking firm
hold on the nation as a whole. Senator
Chamberaln, of Oregon, chairman of
the senate committee on military af
fairs today told a Pacific News Ser
vice correspondent.
“The agitation which started early
last year for legislation making limit
ed military training compulsory is
taking firm root in the public’s mind,"
-he senator said. “The press of the
country as well as patriotic socitics
and organizations in increasing num
bers arc interesting themselves in the
mivtnrnt. The merits of compulsory
service under a modified form Is un
questioned and I shall do my utmost
toward pushing through congress it
the earliest moment a bill making this
a law."
Senator Chamberlain has accented
an invitation to address the Congress
of Constructive Patriotism, an or
g. nization with a membership of over
l(in,000 men and women among whom

AMERICA UNABLE TO FILL
ORDERS FOR NEW SHIPS
Pacific Naws Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON Advices from var
ious big shipbuilding centers through
out the United States indicate that
the Norwegian capitalists who have
been endeavoring to place orders for
$200,000,000 worth of vessels to be
constructed in this country are exper
iencing difficulty in letting their con
tracts because of the grout demand or
American marine interests upon the
private shipyards of the United States,
according to officials of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Puget Sound and Deleware River
shipyards alone have accepted con
tracts for the construction of ships for
the Norwegian interests, it was learn
ed. And these two centers, accord •
ing to reports, are not in a position at
present to undertake the building of
any more vessels for delivery within a
reasonable time.
The big yards at Bath, Me., Quincy,
Mass., Newport NeW9, Va., New York
and other eastern centers are known
to have Informed the Scandinavian
capitalists, when approached, that the
demand of American Investors was so
: great as to preclude negotiations with
foieign interests for the construction
of vessels of any class until at least
the middle of 1917.
The Nome Bowling Club’s alleys are
r ew open from noon to midnight.

WASHINGTON,—That 40 per cent
of the world's commercial salt watei
.(.•nnage has either been destroyed,
commandeered for war service or in
terned in the last two and a half yearb
.s the assertion of officials in the gov
ernment's commercial departments.
This fact, they declare, is principally
responsible tor the unprecedented ac
tivity that has existed in American
i shipbuilding yards for the last two
j cars and the contructs now held by
: the yards in this country that will de
| mnndtheir maximum capacity until
die latter part of 1918.
Before the war, officials say, the
world's normal visible commercial
1 ship-ping amounted to about 60,000,
! OdO tons. Uf this approximately 12,
000,000 tons have been requisitioned
I by the governments of the various
[belligerent nations to serve their war
needs, neurly 4,500,000 tons have been
! interned in nuetral countries, and over
j 5,000,000 tons have been destroyed,
I mainly by submarines and mines.

'PURIFICATION OF
OISILBS POLLUTED
Bl SEWAGE COMMER
ClllLI FEASIBLE
)
Pacific News t>cr\icc, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON.—That it Is com
mticiully possible artifically to purify
polluted oysters is the belief of offic
ials of the United ijiatcs public health
service wlio have been conducting an
uv e3tigation of the oyster industry.
As much as 50 gallons of water
pusses through the gills of a single
oyster in a day, the officials found,
and food materials are pa3sed through
the crustacean's alimentary canal In
| a very few hours. Working on these
j principles it was found that a much
! polluted oyster, if placed In clean
| food-bearing water at feeding temp
jeraJure will in the course of two or
three hours become purified.
The government is continuing }t3
I experiments to test out the pracMc
ability of artifically purifying oysters
in water containing calcyium hyoo
chlorte by means of which it is hoped
ic find a cheaper method of insuring
the marketing of healthful oysters.
C)j?ter harvesting concerns maintain
that the expense of placing oysters in
the proper kind of water even for two
hours, is too great if the sea-food la
to be sold at the prices that now
maintain. Oyster3 grow best in bays
in which rivers and city sewers empty.
