Eight bids for reconditioning. the giant steamship Le viathian, Idle at her fier in Hoboken for two yeai s, were 'opened today be fore Chairman Lasker, of the United . States Shipping Board. The bids were as follow?: The New York Harbor Dry Dock ' Company $10,130,400. Standard Shipbuilding Company, , $10,102,673. Morse Dry Dock Company $8,407,000. Todd Shipyards $$7,;:57.900.

The specifica maintain what he proposes to make ex pert services in providing the house wives with sea foods by indicating to them just what varieties of fish are suitable for the various ways of cook ing. "It is a notable fact," said Mr. Pot ter, "that, in the interior where fish and sea foods are not used as greatly as in coast cities that one of the rea sons for this deficiency is because the people don't know that there are par ticular sorts of fish for particular sorts of cooking. Some lend themselves to frying, others to baking, some to broil ing, and so on, whereas the ordinary cook thinks that any piece of fish will be equally palateable, no matter how it may be cooked. mestic potash it would amount to an increase of only from ten cents to forty cents an acre of crops. Mr. Laroe said the American industry was built up during the stress of war at war prices, but that despiter this prices had been cut several hundred per cent from the peak of prices of the war, costing now one dollar per unit of twenty pounds of pure potash. American farmers are in favor of the "proposed tariff, the witness continued, declaring that they realized: that com petition in the production of potash fertilizer was to their advantage in the long run.

But not for the surprise. It came as a knock-out to the entire crowd, so to speak. The trouble was that the already slick floor had been covered with cotton seed, and in cleaning it off these seed were stepped on and mashed, the greasy oil covering the floor with a gloss that would have tripped up a centipede. And there wasn"t anything resem bling a centipede in the party. The unsuspecting bipeds didn't have a chance. The first couple started off in great style, doing fancy stunts that would do credit to the stage. But, no doubt, the fellow who said that a good start :neans a bad ending got his ex perience on roller skates, for the end ing of this couple was well-nigh as disastrous as the last days of Pompeii. For perhaps 30 seconds they did the Highland fling on one foot and went around the floor three times at an angle of 45 degrees. Then they went around . once more horizontally.- The midnight ride of Paul Kevere faded in to insignificance when they finally sat, down, and - did the last 100 yards in foun-Wsseconds. .- So much.' for that couple. And still the crowd hadn't smelled a rat.' Out went another duo on the -long lane that has no turning. They went only a few feet, but they went that few feet partly on foot, partly on side, partly on back and mostly on head. Hardly had they brought up against the wall when the whole party de cided to break the ice, but came near lions cull for the work to be finished ! back flips, cart-wheels and loop-the-in March, 1923. ! loops were so mixed together that it i looked as if Earnitm and Bailey's cir rus were locked up in the insane asy lum. The more they slid the slicker it got and the slicker it got the more tiny ciid. The cotton seed oil thrived on friction and seemed to even lubri cate the skates. The party resolved it sea foods will most readily lend them selves to the sort of service they de sire to use them for. CIVITANS RECOUNT THEIR ACHIEVEMENT Mr. Potter will advise the house- : " ui me puiawi synuit-aie ul uennuny wives who may place their orders with ,hy which the former bind themselves to hi emnorium as to what kinds of purchase 75 per cent of their potash re quirements uoni me miter wtis reau yesterday in the record of the tariff hearings of the Senate Finance Com mittee. The contract was produced by S. D. Crenshaw, vice president the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company, of Rich mond, Ya., and in ordering it placed in the record Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah ,said he wanted to show to Sen ators that it not only evaded all anti dumping laws passed by Congress but also all American anti-trust laws. '.'If that contract can stand," Senator Smoot declared. "Germany will see that the potash industry in the United States will never be developed." Mr. Crenshaw, whose company is one of those a party to the contract, said the instrument was so drawn that the American manufacturers could buy 25 per cent of their supply from French or domestic sources. It developed, how ever, that the American firms would get a lower rate per ton if they bought l,their entire supply from the German syndicate than if they bought only 7o per cent from that source. The good work that the Charlotte Civitan Club has done since its found ing about five months ago was the subject of several brief talks by mem bers of the club at its weekly meet ingat the Chamber of Commerce from 1 to 2 o'clock Friday. Bill Adams, "Tinney" Grace, Frank Kennedy, E. E. Marler. Dr. Ralph Smucker and others recounted the accomplishments of the club in favorable terms and said it filled a well-defined need in the com munity. ' During the hour of the meeting, each Civitan introduced himself and told what state had the good fortune to be his birthplace. A large number of the States of the Union and Canada were represented. E. E. Marler won the attendance prize. The civitan quartet rendered a number of selections. Fred McCall, charter, member of tTie club; who is now studying law at the University, but home for the holidays, made a brief address as did also Judd Scar borough. v ;v. ; TO OPEN BIDS FOR SCHOOL BUILDING BLIZZARD AT HALIFAX.

AMERICAN JOBS FOR ' AMERICANS POLICY London. Dec. 30. (By the Associated Press) The European staff of the I United States Shipping Board will be composed almost entirely of Americans I at the beginning of the new year as a j result of the Americanization policy in I augurated by Chairman Lasker, when i he took over the direction of the board last June. . At that time only 26 per cent of the board's employes in Europe were Americans. The policy of retrench ment -which has been pursued as a companion policy of replacing aliens with Americans has effected a 70 per cent reduction in the number of em ployes in tho European field.

SAYS SALVAGE GOODS NOT ALL ARMY STUFF That a great part of the so-called" army salvage goods that is being sold throughout the country is not army salvage goods at all, but simply, re cently manufactured stuff being dispos ed of in that disguise was a statement made in the recorder's court Friday morning by Myers Swartz, head of the Army Surplus Sale3 Company on Trade street. - Swartz had been brought into court on a charge of dealing in second-hand goods without the proper license. There is a charge of $50 for each merchant who deals in such goods, and following an investigation of the Army Surplus Sales Company by C. W. Jetton, tax col lector, a warrant was sworn out for Swartz for failure to comply with the law. Swartz declared that he had a merchant's license which cost him a little over $7, but that as only five per cent of his stock was eally second-hand stuff, he did not surmise that such a .license was necessary. " In explaining this statement. Swartz told the court he got some of his army salvage goods from the Government, but that many concerns that dealt in these goods were being supplied in large measure by various manufacturers throughout the country.
