Quardsmen Take Advantage of
]. Downpour and Get Cool

Ell Paso, July 5-Rain falling along
this section of the border and over
the northern Chihuahua section today
signalized the advent of the rainy
season, and increased the difficulties
in operating the motor transportation
system to the American troops in
Mexico. |# -....
Army men here, while admitting
that the rainy season will hamper
the operations of the motor truck line
from Columbus south, pointed out
that adequate preparations have been
made, and General Pershing's COM
mand will not suffer as a result. In
the last few months huge quantities
of food, forage, equipment and other
supplies have been concentrated at
Colonia Dublan, Ely Vale and other
points in the State of Vases. Stress
was laid on the fact that the expedi-
tionary command now has on hand
enough supplies to provide for it's
wants for sixty days, even though it
is found impossible to get another
truck through from the base at Col
umbus.s'
One of the generally accepted reas-
ons for the movements of the Ameri-
can expedition is that it might be
more compactly disposed. both from
q strategic viewpoint and because Of
the greater accessibility in the hand
ling of supplies. In the event that a
break with Mexico should yet devel-
ope, military men pointed out it
would be a comparatively easy matter
for the expeditionary command, If
hampered by weather conditions, to
seize the lines. u the Mexican North.

General. E.. Gales, military COM
mander in Sonora, issued statement
through Consul Ives Lelevier here to-
day that he intended to preserve the
best possible relations between Mexi-
co and the United States, and along
the Arizona-Sonora boundary.
He also announced he had sent a
description of the Mexicans suspect

SMALL GRAIN
HEADING OUT

Small grain will all be headed out
this week." declared R. r. Flint, COM
missioner of labor and agriculture,
yesterday. "and while the moisture
has been favorable, the crop will be
much lighter, due both to less acre
age and smaller acre Yields
"This warm weather. he contin-
ued, "is ideal for the corn, but so
many farmers failed to pant, fearing
that it would not ripen. 1t will pay
to take good care of the corn field,
because seed corn will be as scarce
and high as it was last year."

BY Mabel Abbott.

On the other side of the munic-
ipal waterway, all summer long,
the Seaborn Shipbuilding Co. has
been building a couple of good
ly vessels"
The keel of third will be laid
in day or two, and one of the
boats now building will probably
be launched the first week in
December.
These are not horizontal sky
scrapers of metal, with tunnels
instead of masts, and no more
poetry about them than pair of
tin cans. : They are compact lit
tie wooden ships, and though
they will have engines, they will
go out clothed in canvas, as ships
should.
They are part of a picturesque
thing that is going on in Ameri-
ca-the revival of the building of
wooden ships.
Ten years ago, shipbuilders
say, this was almost lost art in
the United States. Iron ships
may be less poetic, but they are
more practical, especially in the
larger sizes, according to ship
ping men.
In the Northwest, where the
best of wood for shipbuilding
grows near at hand, and where
men have found that wooden
ship can be hauled off an unchart-
ed rock in Alaskan waters,
patched up, and put back to
work little the worse for it, while
an iron ship with a hole punched
in her bottom is often not worth
saving, wooden ships had not
been so superseded; but even
here, the business had sunk to a
shadow of it's former greatness.

MAY NOT
DISBAR
KELLEY

Attorney Frank II. Kelley may
get out from under the disbar-
ment proceedings brought against
him in the superior court by the
prosecuting attorneys office.
This was indicated Saturday
when it was learned that all the
complaining witnesses had with
drawn their charges against him.
Kelley obtained divorce for
one of them in the superior court
Friday.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Phelps received letter from
Christ Johnson, the chief COM
plainant, asking him to withdraw
the charges. 1t is understood
that o. Il. Stevenson and Myrtle
b. Stevenson, the other complain
ants, have settled their differ
ences with Kelley out of court.
Phelps said that with the chief
witnesses against Kelley backing
out, 1t probably would be neces-
sary to dismiss the case, which
was brought to his attention by
the Tacoma Bar association.
The charges set out in the
complaint were that Kelley had
been guilty of negligence and
professional misconduct in failing
to perfect appeals for his clients
when he had promised to do SO.
Johnson's letter to Phelps
said:
Having looked into the mat
ter involved in the charge against

40 Men WORKING

If she does not come to an I'M
timely end, she will be jogging
along about her business when
our grandchildren are grown up.
A hundred and forty men are
working in the yards at present,
and though drills and hammers
are driven by air now, and saws
and planes are harnessed to mo-
tors, some things are still done
very much as they were done by
shipbuilders centuries ago; for
ship is a wonderful thing, all
curves and slants and sheers,
and nothing can altogether take
the place of the skilled hand in
fitting her for her wrestle with
wave and whirlwind.
Men with AIDES "dub" tim
bers and planks to smoothness;
others spin oakum with larry
fingers to calk her seams; and
there are many places where
wooden pegs are still better than
iron bolts.
Before very long, she will slip
from her cradle into the water,
one of a generation of ships born
OF a strange world-need.
AS far back as January, Secre-
tary Redfield said, american
shipyards have under construc-
ton now more vessels than ever
before were building in the Unit
ed States, to add to an American
merchant marine whose gross
tonnage already is the largest in
the country's history"
Since that time, with hastily
increased facilities, ship-build-
ing has increased tremendously.
We are now building not only
for ourselves, but for other ma
tons. Norway has passed law
requiring that all money made in
the shipping business shall be
put back into the shipping bust
ness; and Norwegian orders have
been pouring into American
ship-yards.
Perhaps Americans are to be-
come the ship-builders of the flu
ture.

Berlin Sells
Clothing by
Card Now

BERLIN, Oct. 21.--A new sys-
tenn has been inaugurated in
Berlin, whereby everyone must
buy underclothing, mems and
women's suits and coats through
special magistrates cards.
The city experienced its first
frosty night last night and con-
sequently there was great rush
for the new clothing cards.
The crowds were so great that
1t was necessary to give out num-
bers to the newcomers and allow
them to stand in line.
Piece goods, excepting silks,
for some time have been pur-
chasable only by presenting
cards.
One object Of the new clothing
regulations is to prevent specu-
lators from procuring large guam
titles and holding for higher
prices later.

What War Did
And then came the war.

Allu tllcu came U0e war.
Of all the things the war has
brought about, none is more
striking than the demand for
ships.
Also, the war raised the price
of steel, because the steel men
can get more for it in the form of
guns and shells than in the form
of ship-plates.
And so the wooden ship came
into her own again.
The condition may be only
temporary, so far as the use of
wood is concerned. Probably
when the war is over, we shall
build iron ships again.
At any rate, more wooden
ships are being built now than in
decades before.
