LOCAL YARO WILL WIN
BIG SHIPBUilDiNG RACE
Practically Certain That RattIeship
Delaware Will BE Delivered Long
Before North Dakota.

During the month Of June, the work
on the giant battleship Delaware ad-
vancei as per cent. the vessel being
500 per cent completed on July 1.
While the report of the work on the
Delaware's sistership. the North Da-
kota. at the Fore River yard. has not
yet been received here. it is known
that the North Dakota did not ad-
vance very much last month and
the ships are almost even in the race.
That the local yard will win this
great race in battleship construction
f. almost foregone conclusion. AS
far as actual work is concerned, the
ships are about even and the local
yard will have the advantage from
this time on as it will require sew
eral weeks tc adjust the turbine en-
gines of the North Dakota, whereas
the engines of the Delaware will need
no adjustment.
The Delaware will be delivered In
January and the North Dakota prob
ably will net be turned over to the
navy department until several months
later.

y.ding a home here for the pauper
consumptiyes in this city. Dr.. j. w.

the matter to the attention OF the
health board az the session yesterday

three members were present. It was
decided to postpone action. until iuii
meeting of the board can be secured
DR.. Ayler Is particularly anxious 10
have the matter of the establishment
o. the home brought to the attention
of the council at the earliest possible
time. He says that the home is an
absolute necessity for the curing oil
the great white plague in Newport
News. A majority of the consump-
tiyes of the city are not able to vsar
the expense of treatment in sanltar-
iums and they must remain In their
homes, thus spreading the disease.
The health board will draft suita-
bic recommendation at the meeting

ell committee on health.
IL was decided TO ask the coun-
ell committee on health to recommend
TO the council the purchase OF a SET
OF files in which to keep the records
OF the deaths and births in the city.
At present the board has no systemat-
ic record for the preservation OF the
records and much time Is required 10

DIR. ]. w. Ayler, the secretary, re-
ported that he had written the city
council about amending the law OH
quarantine flags. but that the council
had taken no action. He was direct
ed to bring the matter to the at
tention OF the council for second
time. The board wants the law SO
amended that the yellow flags will be
, used for smallpox cases only. 1t is
proposed to use red placards fer other
kinds of diseases.

OG0. MIR. Spruill made strenuous Cd
lection to paving Thirty-fesrth street

through with the other streets.
MIR. Davis then made a very vigor-
Gus speech. In the course OF which ne
stated that he wished the paving done
to be done on this thoroughfare on
accoun; OF the large taxable value OF
the property along the street. and Tor
other reasons such as the unhealthy
condition of the street In wet weather.
Mr. Spruill. supported by MIR. Cheadie'
made the point that II this street were
paved between these two avenues that
IL should be paved between Washing

tute resolution offered by Mr. Ford In

Salads are really very easily
constructed. and one needs only
to use careful judgment in their
preparation.
Do not attempt too much Mt
first. Practice on plain salads and
simple furnishings before you at
tempt making elaborate dishes.
Use only the best condiment.
Economy must not be overlooked,
but it is poor economy to use in
ferior materials. Buy the best
olive oil, and keep it in a cool,
dark place 1t is well to buy It
by the gallon. 1t is much cheap
er in large quantities, and can be
divided and sealed in several small
bottles so that only one bbttle

vinegar is the best to use when
it can be obtained; otherwise use
white vinegar. Paprika is excel

Add a piece of ice size of an egg,

Remove ice, beat dressing until

When ready to make Mayor

table before you, then begin
work. One well-beaten yolk of
egg is the foundation for an al

this: Beat the yolk thoroughly

dragon snapped at little Thalia,
