they are equally impelled by the fun

Milwaukee capitalists. approaching
the great opportunities in shipbuild-
ing in this country. have purchased the
Baltimore Drydock and Shipbuilding
Co. which is employing 1900 men,
and which has under contract work
enough to keep it busy for several
years. including contracts for building
seven large steamships for Norwegian
ship owners. The new owners of the
plant will probably make considerable
engagements Here and there at
Southern ports there is a growing dis
position to establish shipyards or to
utilize existing facilities for doing a
larger class Of shipbuilding than these
smaller yards have heretofore under
taken The three big shipyards on the
Chesapeake Bay. two at Baltimore and

No movement begun in Richmond
in recent years has grippcd the pub
lie interest and fancy as has the $3.50
600 fund raising campaign for Memo
rial Hospital The whole city is buzz
ing with the talk of the various meet
ings. and upon almost every corner
some OF the posters. or banners or
s'~ns OF the campaign may be seen.
Two thousand OF the most striking
posters ever gotten out in Richmond
were distributed over the city this
week. Every moving picture theatre
has the slides calling attention to the
merits OF the campaign. Tho attrac-
tive literature telling of the plans to
make Memorial Hospital worthier"
is becoming more and more distrihut-
ed every day. The whole city how
realizes that a movement of superla-
tive Importance to the continued well
fare of the city is under way, and in
all classes of people are
rallying TO the support.
Headquarters Active.
Not one of the least of the features
which have contributed to the Inter
est in the campaign has been the ac-
tivity about the headquarters. s21
East Main Street. The largest BAN
ner ever hung In Richmond stretches
across the street at this point bearing
its slogan. Boost Memorial Hospital"
and telling OF the four definite ideals
Of the campaign. Inside the head
quarters twenty-seven typists are busy
writing letters to men and women OF
the city, preparing data of various
kinds to assist in the work, and look
ing after the details. The campaign
managers and office assistants are at
the headquarters from early in the
morning until sometimes midnight.
Two telephones are ringing almost
continuously with messages of cheer
Ing character.
An Intensive Campaign.
This is an intensive campaign. 1t
Is intended to reach every section OF
the city, as indeed. campaign OF
such wide spreading Importance

paper last Sunday. is planning a work
which Is OF real community value,
which commands the interest OF every
man and woman. There is not per-
son in Richmond who does not now
realize the need OF better accommoda-
tions for negroes.
People Want to Help.
No people in the world are more
kindly in their feeling to the negroes
than the white people of. Richmond.
Only because for years they have
failed to realize the deplorable hos
pital conditions which surrounded
negro patients have the white people
permitted these conditions to exist.
