OFFICIALS OF NAVY YARD HERE
EAGER TO BUILD SUBMARINES
Report of Bigger Naval Program
Causes Speculation.

The report that the Government will
emphasize the Importance OF a fleet of
submarines when the naval program is
laid before the next Congress-, causes
much speculation at League Island as to
the probability of extensive submarine
construction at the Navy Yard.
That undersea boats can be built as
efficiently and as cheaply at League
Island as at any other shipyard was the
positive opinion expressed today by Lieu
tenant Commander Hunt, who said that
In the event OF widespread activity in
submarine building League Island would
expect generous share of the work.
After Transport No. is finished we
could build any kind of vessel from a
battleship to a submarine he said.
There is only one shipways at League
could be erected If Congress would supply
Island now, but in six months another
the money. We could build submarines as
trustworthy and for the same money as
other shlpyards."

MILK USEFUL IN MANY WAYS
AS a Cleansing Agent 1t Is Frequent
Iy Better Than Anything That
Can Be Employed.

Use milk on patent leather to pol
ish, clean and brighten it. Nothing
else gives it such luster and softness,
Use milk to clean piano keys. 1t
removes all dust and CRIME and does
not mar their ivory smoothness.
Use milk to remove ink spots. Wet
the ink spot with the milk and keep
it wet until the spot disappears. Then
wash the spotted fabric in cold before
washing it in warm water. Do not
allow the milk to dry-keep adding
more to keep it damp. The dried
milk sometimes makes a yellow stain
that is troublesome to remove.
Use milk to restore the surface of
oilcloth and linoleum. Dip flannel in
the milk, and rub the oilcloth or limo
leum thoroughly with it. Then rub
again with 8 dry flannel.
Use sour milk for removing freck-
les. 1t is the Tactic acid in milk that
is effective in removing the freckles,
Use milk in starch to give it a
gloss. Add a few tablespoonful to
a painful of starch.
