NAVAL GUN FOUNDRY
IT'S NEEDS OUTLINED BY REAR
ADMIRAL MASON.
Report on Operations the Past Year
Improvements Recommended
to Cost $500, $50.

Rear Admiral Mason, chief of the naval
bureau of ordnance devotes special chap
ter of his annual report to the operations
and needs of the naval gun foundry at the
Washington navy yard. The conditions
have finally become such at this factory
he says, that 1t Is now found impossible
to keep up with the current work of the
navy, even working continuously day and
night as many men be employed,
Congress having failed to furnish relief by
the necessary increase in the establishment
asked for in preceding years. Working
three shifts day and night is not economical
either as regards cost of labor or output,
and in order to relieve the congestion of
the work and prevent claims for damages
on account of delays from the contracting
shipbuilders the bureau has found 1t neces-
sary to enter into contracts with two of
the largest armor- making and gun-forging
plants for the manufacture and delivery,
on the bureaus designs, of the completed
guns and mounts of some of the later YES
sells authorized by Congress.
Increase in Capacity.
1T is considered that, though all of the
recommendations of the superintendent OF
the gun factory for increasing the size and
capacity of this establishment are carried
out, even then. with the navy increasing as
1t is, the gun factory would be unable to
more than make the necessary repairs and
changes and supply the necessary outfits to
vessels in the service and building, and at
the same time manufacture one-third or
perhaps one-half of the new guns ana
mounts, leaving the remainder to be manu-
featured by contract by outside firms, pro-
vided that the gun factory carried out its
work on the one shift eight hours per diem
practice. This would keep at least two
large firms In touch with the navy work.
and at the same time the gun factory
would not be working at it's full capacity;
then in times of emergency. by working full
time night and day, a much greater output
could be delivered and delays not be caused.
1.-THE gun factory is still increasing, and
necessarily must continue to do to meet
the increasing demands Of the service,
which in the future will probably be more
pronounced than in the past
Nearly all machinery has been operated
from sixteen to twenty-four hours day,
and as a result 1t Is worn considerably
more than IL 1t had been operated only
eight hours e. day. The wear and tear on
this machinery has required increased re-
pairing and renewing. and the approprfa-
ton of $4,000 asked for in the estimate
for the next fiscal year is really less than
is needed

FOR CROSS TOWN LINE
EAST WASHINGTON CITIZENS
ADOPT STRONG RESOLUTIONS.
Large Attendance at Meeting Held
tiers Principal Topic Discussed.

There was an unusually large attendance
at the meeting of the East Washington Cit
liens Association held last night in Don
nelly's Hall, many of those in attendance
having come because they thought there
would be a discussion of the Eastern High
School troubles. There such dis
cussion INDUCED in, however, and several
members were therefore disappointed. Gen.
s. S. Yoder called attention to, matters per-
tanning to the street car service by pre-
senting q series of resolutions which pro-
vided that the hearings before Congress and
the different citizens associations have
demonstrated the fact that there Is uni
versal demand for a cross-town railroad,
and that a majority of the people to be
benefited by a cross-toWn railroad are not
allied or committed to any particular cor
poration or corporate interest. What is
desired, 1t was further provided Is better
facilities for transit across the city.
Leaves Details to Congress.
In view of these facts the association Is
asked in the resolutions to state that 1T
favors "a croSs-town road, has been
advocated by all our associations, and that
we hereby renew our emphatic and earnest
desire for ouch road from the Aqueduct
bridge to the new union station, thence
east, north and south, as set forth in for
mer reSOlOtlOnS. we are not committed TO
any particular corporation or definite route
on any particular street." 1t was stated in
the resolutions, and we are willing to leave
all details to the wisdom of Congress- Our
only object is to secure a cross-town road,
and our object cannot be defeated by d.
verting public sentiment into Wrangles as
to who could best build it or any particular
route. The association requests other asso-
Citations to take similar actions, with &
view Of making united effort to achieve
this ch-desired obejct to our citizens"
It was generally conceded that there
should be cross-town railway in East
Washington, but Mr.. w. Mosby Williams
said he hoped legislation upon the subject
would not result In giving the city but one
railway corporation. He thought there was
rivalry enough in the matter of street car
service to be of interest to the people, and
said he would prefer to see three roads
rather than only one. President Smith and
Mr. c. A, Shields participated in the dis
cussion. They were anxious to know what
is to become of the East Capitol street traf-
fo after the construction of the union rail
road station. Mr.. Shields said he feared
the East Capitol street patrons will have to
use a shuttle car or have to ride around a
loop past the union station. Mr.. Williams
thought that the Commissioners should
have their hands strengthened in the mat
ter of having authority to regulate the ia
cilities for street car accommodat tons. The
resolution of Gen. Yoder was passed.

AS A WOMAN LUNCHES.
Meals That Are Ordered Merely by
Force of Suggestion,

Lots of women order their luncheon:
merely by force of suggestion. II yor
don't think so, watch the wayerine
ones sit down, look on the card glance
at their nearest neighbours plate and
then order whatever the latter happens
to be eating. In a crowded luncheon
room on matinee day one little round
table seating four women bore out this
statement. Two of the women refresh
cd themselves on cake and coffee. The
third was putting away q sayory clam
ehowder. A fourth came In, observed
the cakes, gazed approximately on The
chowder and requested the latter. The
hrst chowderer finished and departed.
and The woman who immediately took
her place looked around the table and
ordered cakes and coffee.
BY this time the first two cake and
eoffeeites had finished. and an uncer-
tain looking woman sat down on that
side of the table She looked at the
two opposite, glanced at the card and
said. Bring me clam chowder."
This is fact. and there is every rea.
son to suppose that nothing but coffee
and cakes and chowder was served ar
that table all the afternoon or at least
as long as wavering ladies sat down
at it,-Philadelphia Bulletin
