BRITISH GOLFERS LIKE

LONDON, July q. - British golf
pIayers-all above military age just
now-are strong for the girl caddie.
The club carrying members Of the
opposite sex is a decided success.
What she lacks in carrying clubs she
gains by lack of irritating comment.
Experienced and veteran golfers
alike declare that the feminine caddie
perhaps fails to take such keen IN
terest in the game as the boy caddie'
bat she doesn't attempt to take all the
joy out Of perfectly played -four
by piping.

PHILADELPHIA CLOSES
CONTRACT MAKING IT
WORLDS BIGGEST
SHIPBUILDING CENTER

Especial to Gateway by United Press)
PHILADELPHIA, July 21.-An in
vestigation by the United Press today
discloses that with present facilities
and those being added under millions
of dollars worth of new contracts just
closed, this city in less than twelve
months will be the greatest and big
gest shipbuilding center in the world.
There are now under construction
or contracted for, 7G ships with total
gross tonnage of 42O,523. Millions of
dollars are being poured into the ship
building industry along the Delaware
river. Thousands of men are working
long hours getting new ship yards to-
gether.
This tremendous boost is due pri-
marily, Of course, to the fact that the
seas have been practically stripped of
foreign shipping by the European
war and there is an enormous demand
for bottoms which will carry foreign
and domestic sea trade.
All the big yards here are jammed
