RAILROADS REVENUES
GREATLY INCREASED

Estimated gross earnings of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany for the past six months show an
increase OF more than million and a
half dollars over the revenue for the
same period last year. From July
to December 81, 1915, the gross re-
ceipts amounted to s23,793.711. while
during the same months of 1915 the
taken in by the road was $22,-
227,924, or a difference of s1,565,7S7.
The mileage of the Chesapeake and
Ohio has grown during the past year
from. 2.374.3 to only 2.377s. or an
increase OF 3.6 miles. Receipts of the
company for the week ending De-
cember 81. 1916. were ssSS.134, while
in 1915 they were ss76.39o. For the
month of December, up to the 2Ist,
the amounts taken in this year figured
s2,Sl7.1SS, while for 1915 the figures
stood s2,595,236.

vast stations took the place of the
stage coach booking offices. and how
many huge hotels were demanded by
the travelling public in place of the old
roadside inns. Some things. indeed,
the public lost by the change. That
picturesque but disreputable hero. the
highwayman, certainly found his liv
ing seriously interfered with but the
highwayman is figure it Is better 10
read of in the volumes of the novelists,
who never knew him. than it ever was
to encounter, in the flesh, upon the
road. The highwayman. however,
whatever his faults. was distinctly as
wholehearted a patron of the liquor
interests as Quintus Horatius FLAG
Gus himself.
No doubt If there had been less beer
hrewed there would have been fewer
highwaymen, for as Captain Macheath
sings:
Let us drink and sport today,
Ours is not tomorrow
The simple truth, as everybody
knows. is that the mercury of crime
and inefficiency rises with the con-
sumption of alcohol. That is why the
governments OF the countries at war
beer barrel to Saturn. The curious.
the -iudicrous. indeed the pathetic
thing is that these governments are
only concerned with this when they
are at war, when they are at peace
then alcohol is good enough for the
world

When, however these tatterdema-
lion arguments are examined they
very commonly resolve themselves
into two chief fears; the fear implant-
ed in the taxpayer that he will per-
sonally be compelled to pay for the
extinction of the liquor licenses. and
the fear implanted In the army of
men living upon the trade" that
they will be left homeless wanderers
upon the streets, if the licenses are
suppressed. Now. as a matter Of fact
the Stiffness of these contentious is
by no means a tribute TO the intelli-
gence of the people for whose con-
sumption they are advanced. 1t is
perfectly obvious that the capital and
labor invested in the drink trade is
not going to vanish ike The lager beer
OF Hans Breitmann's "barty," because
corn and barley are converted into
bread and soup instead OF into whis-
key, because the ground devoted TO
hops and vines is devoted instead to
potatoes and peaches: or because the
premises now licensed for the sale Of
drink are utilized for the sale of books
or farming implements Nor is this
all. The man whom the saloon sup
plies with drink at profit. has COM
monty to be supplied by the State with
food and lodging at loss. 1t is. in
other words, an unquestionable fact
that wherever the licensed house has

ton in the Jail, just as it Is as ascer-
tanned fact as the action of soap
and water, that the proportion of
crime rises and falls with the distri-.
button OF drink, and that drunkenness
not only destroys a mans utility as
workman. and SO iInpoverishes the
country to the extent Of that loss. but
frequently converts an impoverished
man into a criminal. and so tends 81
simultaneously to the building OF the
jail and the workhouse.
This is the first OF what might be
called Falstaff's buckram arguments,
arguments which come and go at the
call of the imagination of the drink
interests. and the second Is like unto
it, OF all impudent impositions. the
one that the suppression of the drink
industry would add all those employed
in 1t to the out-of-work population,
Is surely the most comically prepos-
ferrous. The last time this argument
had real innings was in the early
days OF the railroads. In those days

tears for all the stud farm men, the
hostlers, the coachmen. and coach
builders. to say nothing of the book
ing clerks. chambermaids. and inn
keepers who were to be reduced to
beggary by the coming of the steam
engine. 1t would be interesting to
know, even In the early days of the
railroads, how many drivers and stok-
ers took the place of the coachmen
and hostlers. how many railway works

On The Ways"
The ways" in a shipyard are
formed by big wooden beams placed
In rows from the waters edge to the
extreme length of the proposed ship +;
and along the center line a row Of
accurately adjusted stocks is adjusted.
On these the plates are set. when
riveted together, which form the keel.
IT takes, as rule. about four months
after the awarding of the contract to
lay the keel.
When the angles and plates are
riveted together, powerful travelling
cranes pick them up and convey them
to their proper places on the ships
body. Next. the frames from the
ship-ftting rooms are bolted across
the keel. about four feet apart. all
ready to be riveted.
Plates for the sides and bottom,
cut out with shears. are rolled into
shapes necessary to At the curve of
the ship. This is accomplished by a
system OF rollers and pressure.
BattIeships Have Double Bottoms
The frames haying been riveted In
place. these plates are set In their
proper positions, in rows called
strakes and riveted tight 80 that they
are actually built into the boat.
II should be rememb ered that every
battleship built has two bottoms; the
outer Is at least several feet from
the inner shell, and while this latter
remains unchanged the vessel cannot
sink even though the outer one be
punctured.
But what flls the space between
these two bottoms? That Is A. ques-
ton which. at least so far as the lay
man Is concerned, is rather much of
a mystery; for builders of battleships
will not tell. 1t Is known, however.
that som etimes a part of 1t Is utilized
for the storing of oil. fuel and for
special devices intended to protect the
hull from torpedoes.
With the keel made and the fran es
in place. the bulkheads are then as

Because of Improvements and de-
velopments right along. new plans are
nearly always made for each new
class of battleship: sketches of these
plans are made by the naval con-
structors and submitted to the gen.
eral board OF the Navy, which recon-
mends certain ones for formal selec-
ton and adoption by the Secretary.
Then the naval designers work out
the plans in detail, and models Of the
ship are made and tested in a huge
tank built for that purpose in Wash
ington. All OF this has consumed
about eight months from the time of
the appropriation by Congress. Then
the builders are asked to submit their
bids.
Builders And Contracts.
At least month must be allowed
the builders to prepare their bids. for
they themselves must in turn obtain
tentative bids for the materials. en-
gines. boilers. labor, etc. Not always
is the contract awarded to the lowest
bidder, for the chief desderatum Is
to secure the best ship under the con-
ditions prevailing. Rarely is it posi-
BILE to award the contract in less than
from six to fourteen months from the
date Of authorization
The builder must contract with the
steel plants for plates. angles. shapes
and steel bars out OF which the hull Is
to be fashioned. And here. often. un-
avoida5le delay is encountered.
Patterns for the parts of a battle
