$l5O PER TON
NEW PRICE FOR
SHIPBUILDING
1 Shipping Board to Establish
Basic Figure in Future
Contracts
By Xsjoetafyd Press
Washington. March 2 2.—Readjust
ment of shipbuilding costs to peace
time production is accepted by ex
perts of the Shipping Board to es
tablish a basic price in the neighbor
hood of $l5O a ton for future con
tracts let to American yards.
Recent conferences here between
General Manager Piez, of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation and rep
resentatives of Pacific coast build
ers were said to have developed vir
tual unanimity of opinion that high
cost methods of production, which
prevailed at a time when the na
tional emergency demanded speed
in production above everything else,
should be eliminated as quickly as

Some day you may be saying that about your I

Of course you'll believe it.
Yet your battery may have been getting nearer
and nearer to the failing point every day on account 1 v
of trouble that you could have headed off weeks ago
if you had only known. v
You may have let the water get low. ' ®
You may have used more current than has been
replaced.
You may have let a connection work loose.
But whatever you did, the weakness would have
been uncovered by an inspection and a simple hydrom- 1

If you haven't a hydrometer and have never in

competition in world trade routes,
the western men were told, made it
necessary to hold construction costs
to a figure which would permit the
payment of dividends from compe
titive rates whicli would have to be

Cancellation of orders which had i
been placed for many thousands of
tons of shipping was discussed at
length. It was said there was no
ways to remain idle, however, es
pecially so long as the prohibition
against acceptance of contracts for
foreign governments remains.
The cancelled contracts will be re
placed with new orders when the I

22 TRUCK FIRMS !
AT THE SHOW
Practically Fvery Type of
Trucks to Be on Exhibi
tion Next Week
There will be twenty-two firms of
Harrisburg and vicinity represented at j
the big Truck and Tractor show which j
will be held next Monday. Tuesday and (
Wednesday following the wind up of j
the Passenger Car show in the Over- '
land Harrisburg Company's ware rooms ]
at 26th and Derry street as well as ]
several tractor firms.
This is the first experience of the j
Harrisburg Motor Dealers Association j
to hold a separate truck show and was j
only attempted this year because of the j
lack of space to hold the passenger |
car and truck show together. This same j
proposition was worked out successfully
at both the New York and Philadelphia
shows and will prove a big success In
Harrisburg. Practically every business
man is interested in trucks and as well ]
as the farmer and a largo attendance is j
predicted. This is a rare opportunity |
for observing the many trucks together,
as in other years there was not the
necessary space to show but few of the
truck models and many of the dealers
consumed most of their space for pas
senger cars.
Following is a list of the firm? repre
sented and the number of their booth:

WILL PURCHASE
15 ARMY CAMPS
Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Is
Among Those Ordered
Abandoned
Washington, March 22.—Decision'
of the War Department to proceed
with the purchase of the sites of
fifteen army camps and thirteen bal
loon and flying fields over the coun
try is announced. Less than $15,-
000,000 will he involved. It will not
be necessary to await action by
Congress, as the department now |
has the necessary funds.
Camp Colt at Gettysburg, Pa., the
site for which was leased and the
camp constructed for a tank corps
at a cost of $4l 1,500, will be aban
doned.
Among the national army canton
ments to be purchased for military
purposes are Camp Dix, X. J.: Camp
Gordon, Ga.; Camp I.ee, Va.; Camp
Meade. Md., and Camp Upton, X. Y.
Twenty-seven camps and fifteen
aviation fields will be abandoned.
Orders already have gone out for
the abandonment of twenty of the
camps, including nearly all of the
Nanional Guard training quarters
set up after the United States de
clared war on Germany. Con
struction work on the 27 camps, ac
cording to War Department figures,
represents a cost of approximated
$110,000,000, of which $43,000,000
was spent on the lour embarkation
cantonments—Mills, Xew York, Mer
ritt, Xew Jersey and Stuart and
Hill, Xewport Xcws.
Approximately $280,000,000 has
been spent in construction work
on the fifteen cantonments to be
bought and the fifteen now owned
and it was largely because of the
sum involved that the department
decided to go ahead with the pur
chase. Most of the thirty camps now
are being used as demobilization cen
ters, but no definite plans for their
employment after the war army is
disbanded have been evolved.
Announcement already has been
made that only two flying fields act
ually would be used in training
army aviators in peace time and that
others purchased or now owned
would become storage plants for
material on hand or under contract.
Location of the flying centers to be
retained shows a plan to have three ,
general training centers, one in the
far west, one in the southwestern
part of the country and one in the
southeast.
Besides the fields to be bought for
military purposes. Chapman field,
Florida, and Camp Sevier, South
Carolina, also will be purchased "for
business reasons" and subsequently
sold.
