]FROMME LIGHTENS LOAD
OLYMPIC FOREST RANGER
A combination axe and mattotk has
been devised which will take the place
of the two tools and eliminate about
four pounds of unnecessary weight.
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. R.L.
Fromme, supervisor of the Olympic
forest, has ordered a number, of these
weapons of forest warfare for his de-
partment, and expects to equip his
men with them. He says they are
not quite as efficient as the single
tooh: t%r large fires where haste is
the big thing, but they will d 9 for
small fires and range duty in general.

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.
If wean Solve,the problemwe will
have. estmb!isl,the Amerie mer.
chant marine' 6n"he'.'seas , which will
be worth of the/War to the nation."
