To most people this won't mean such an awful lot, but to a forest ranger who is required to carry an axe and shovel or mattock with a total weigth of eight or ten pounds, besides his poe.k, this new tool will mean a great eavmg ,of energy or in other words take a big load from his back.

Ownera and Olmrators SHIPPING BOARD NATION'S PROBLN NEW ADMINISTRATION FACES LACK OF SALVAGING FROM WRECK OF OLD SYSTEM Washington, July 18.Discovery of the need for asking congress for a $300,000,000 deficiency appropriation in behalf of the shipping board today prompted the new chairman, A. D. Lasker, to pronounce his predecessors at the helm of the government's mon- ster merchant fleet as incompetent to the point of being criminal. Armed with authority from Presi- (lent Harding to "yank the lid off the entire shipping situation," he summoned newspaper correspondents to his office. T here he made public figures showing that the shipping board, despite camouflage showing expenditures of $99,518,000, actually went "through" $680,000,000 in the last fiscal year. Deception of Cofigress "That's as near as we can get to it with the deplorable state of the books," Chairman Lasker state(]. "One thing is certain. There was an absolute deception of congress and the people on the expenditures of the shipping board. That never will be again." Alolzo Tweedale, comptroller, gave the chairman and Admiral W. S. Ben- son, former 'chairman, a clean bill. He charged it all to the system. Spent Big Sum Here is the schedule of receipts dragged out of the books of the board by Chairman Lasker to prove that in the present fiscal year $680,000,000 was "gone through": From operation of ships, $300,000,- 000. Frown treasury, by appropriation, $10,000,000. Balance in teasury at start of pQar, $80,000,000. From sale of ships, $200,000,000. "When I showed these figures to the president he was shocked, as con- gress and th'e public will be," he said. "It •only Shows the utter col- lapse of the hilping boarl. It con- stitutes the most difficult business proposition that ever was put up to an/ president." , . Value is Doubtful. There are 6,000 voyages on which no report has ever been made. "A if era of $160,000,000 was paid for new ships, i#hlch represent very dodbtftll assets" he continued. "The American Legion, sailing at last, aft- er being made' over seven times, rep- resents an investment of seven or eight millions. Approximately $220¢ 000,000,of this money which fias gone stands' ifor absolute loss. • "BUt hege is the fleet on o)ar hands.
