, much work on hand as there was
awhile back. when more men were
employed than at any time during
| the past two years. Some CONTRACTS
have been completed. and naturally
slight reduction in the force has
followed. A usual this has been
accompanied by talk OF hard times
and depression in business. An in
yestiyation OF the situation shows
that there Is no cause for alarm.
The yard is now building the giant
battle ship Delaware. excepting ner
sIstership, the South Eakofa, the
largest and most powerful vcsse! "i
war ever constructed for the United
States navy. The Delaware is only
40 per cent. completed. and WORK
on her will continue for the next two
years. The new Norfolk & Wash
ington steamer Southland. not yet
ready for launching. will not be com
pleted for more than six months;
a nc-layins steamer for the govern.
ment, :cr which the keel has not
been laid, will be under construction
for about a year, and there are slX
steel dump barges for the Isthmian
Canal Commission yet to be con-
structed. In addition to this, :he
yard always has vast amount OF
repair work on hand.
From this 1t may be seen that
conditions at the plant are not so
bad after all. Prospects for the flu
tnre are bright. On Tuesday bids
will be opened by the navy depart
ment for the construction of ten tor
pedo boat destroyers and three ma
val golfers, each vessel to cost some
thing over half million dollars.
The local company will submit bid,
md there Is reason to believe that
contracts will be secured for three
Of the destroyers and for one, two
or all three OF the Golfers. In Octo
Der the department will open bids
for another 2O.O0O-ton battleship and
for a big million dollar naval col
Her. The Newport News yard will
be In the bidding on both of these
contracts. and experience has proven
that the company is hard to beat in
such bidding.

tie lavender bath bags are among the
things needed for the lavender BAN.
Even the towels should smell OF laf'

southern beauties say.

Alexandra's positive admiration OF me
pink checked girl made this woman
yearn TO have. not red cheeks, but the
delicate wild rose complexion OF the
novels.
Consulting an extreme specialist.
she was told to use the face scrubhinS
brush upon her count enance. And 40
not be afraid of It, Was the ihJunc-
ton. So, with this in her mind, she
went to work upon her face. adnionlsh-
ing herself occasionally. not to be
afraid OF the scrubb!ng brush. Whn
suds and a stiff face brush, she toiled.
going over her complexion as IL she
were working upon piece or Oil cloth
or upon the wooden seat of an old
fashioned chair.
The result was more satisfactory.
from a scrubbing standpoint, than she
could have wished She scrubbed all
the old brown tanned color OF her
face, and the skin went with 1t. She
found herself the owner of face as
red as q beet and smarting like lem
ons. Now have your face pinched
with cocoa butter" said the specialist.
and await developments
With tears in her eyes the woman
obsyed. Next day when she looked
at herself 'fearfully she was rewarded
by finding pretty complexion. The
outer skin had been scrubbed of. but
a soft delicate skin had grown in a
night. Don't experiment again. said
the skin doctor. Next time you might
not be so fortunate. Scrub carefully.
But don't forget that the face scrub
bling brush offers the solution of a soft
pink skin"

woman can put her hand to her head,
and by touching spring release a
tiny spray of liquid. A haifdresser,
explaining il. says: The idea Is to
insure absolutely fresh perfume. We
have found that. however fine . scent
might be. It is apt to become stale
after being exposed 10 the air for a
couple Of hours. Even scent sachets
fail In this respect. and nothing Is
more aggressive than the oder Of stale
perfume. II is quite easy for woman
to pat her hair or replace a hairTHn,
and this Is all that Is necessary to re-
lease the perfume. Hairrins are made
in gold for blondes. t0Ttoise-sheIi for
