THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1917

GENERAL GOETHALS IS CRITICISED BY HIS SUBORDINATES WASHINGTON. June 8. Major General Goetbals. general manager of the emergency fleet corporation, today dl8mlaed F. A. Eustls. of Boston, assistant general manager, and F. H. Clark, of New York, the two engineer who originated the wooden The dismissal of Euatts and Clark today followed their action last night In issuing statements virtually charging Gen.

ency. WASHINGTON. June 8. The policy of Major General George W. Goethals, general manager of the governments emergency fleet corporation, toward wooden ship building was today the object of criticism of F. A. fustis. a elitist general manager, and F. Hunt ington Clark, his assistant. They gave out statements declaring that while General Goethals has limited the wooden shipbuilding program to 250 ships in 18 months. 10 builders have offered to construct 786 vessels in 18 months, and that two thousand wooden ships could be built in that period witiiout interterring with the work on steel vessels. The 10 builders made offers on the basis of cost plus 10 per cent profit, but General Goethals rejected the proposals and insisted on bids with a flat price. This policy has delayed the building program, Mr. Fustis and Mr. Clark declared. General Goethals had no comment to make when the statements were glren out, but said he probably would reply later. Mr. Clark and Mr. Fustis are mining engineers who proposed the wooden ship building program adopted by the iaMl aMnnlnir hnarH in combat the

.ow.w. .'.'o submarine campaign. General Goeth

als believes steel snips are more practical. DOUBT OF PUBLIC CHECKS BIG LOAN

WASHINGTON, June 8. Senator Harding, of Ohio, Republican, disclosed in the senate today that lack of public confidence was retarding sub- . ecription to the Liberty Loan and that in the interest of unity, senators were withholding information which "might call for investigation and shake the confidence of the American people in the conduct of the war."

Length 12 inches. Distinguished from other Jays within its range by ita decidedly whitish underparts and brow patch on the back. Range: Resident in California, north to southern Washington. . and south to southern Lower California.

Habits and economic status: This Jay has the seme general ' traits of character aa the eastern blue Jay. He la the same noisy, rollicking fellow and occupies a corresponding position

in bird society. Robbing the nests ol

smaller birds la a favorite pastime, and be la a persistent spy upon domes

tic fowls and well know the meaning of the cackle of a hen. Not only does

he steal egg but he kills young chicks,

The Insect food of this Jay constitutes

about one-tenth of its anauat sustenance. The inclusion of grasshoppers and caterpillars makes this part of

the bird's food in its favor. But the

remainder of its animal diet Includes

altogether too large a proportion of beneficial birds and their eggs, and In this respect it appears to be worse thsa its eastern relative, the bine Jay. While its vegetable food is composed largely of mast, at times its liking fer cultivated fruit and grain makes It a most unwelcome visitor to the orchard and farm. In conclusion it may be said that over much of its range this Jay is too abundant for the best Interests of agriculture and horticulture.

Wanted For Richmond 250 Business Merchants With modern package delivery, $245,000 yearly can be saved on cost of living in this city

ET TAKES a statistician occasionally to set people straight about things they think they know. The man in the street has been using some big figures lately about war profits. We have the highest authority for telling, his wife that the cost of delivering packages from various stores to the homes in this city is ten times as great as all the war profits mat have come here. And what makes it most interesting to the thrifty housewife is the fact that 20 to 50 per cent of that cost is absolutely wasted. Look out of your window the next time your storekeeper delivers goods! What you see will show you whether you are dealing with a business man or not. Is he delivering with a horse and wagon? You may know then that he is restricting his business because he is restricting his radius of doing business. That means that he is not buying to the best advantage. His overhead is too high. You are likely to lose in the quality of the goods he sells you. Is he delivering with a converted pleasure car? That is the first mistake he is likely to make. A pleasure car viiat is not and never was designed to carry packageshat cannot stand the strain thatbwsas up gas and oil out of proportion and is old before the paint is worn. That is the man who says motor delivery does not paysimply because it costs him more than it ought to cost These men do not know what package delivery costs

them. If they did they would give it the most serious study and they would get the facts.

The storekeeper who knows the facts delivers with a VIM Delivery Car and you will know he is a business man when you see his VIM deliver your packages. The VIM is the only delivery car designed with a full knowledge of the delivery requirements of a hundred lines of business. It is so far past the experimental stage that there are now 20,000 of them running all over the United States. In all lines of business, with all sorts of drivers, under all conditions of streets, roads and weather, and with a record of three years of service behind the oldest of them VIM Delivery Cars have proved to be the most reliable, the most economical in gas, oil and tire use of any delivery car, and the greatest help to expansion ever offered to retail merchants., - .- . . The progressive woman finds it pays to do business with business merchants. Hundreds of these merchants who deliver with a VIM testify that the expansion in business and decreased cost in delivery easily save them $1,000 a year. These figures are conservative, and the same results can be had by any merchant in the United States. ' Added to the merit of the cars themselves here in this city is a most complete sales and service organization for taking care of VIM trucks. The merchant who delivers with a VIM has every assurance that his car will keep running every business day in the year, . The VIM Delivery Car may be bought the same as any other business appliance the cost written off over a period of twelve months. The VIM plan gladly given to any merchant on request
