Revival of shipbuilding

By H. H. Windsor, in the Popular Me-
 chanics Magazine.
 After the book had apparently closed on the last chapter, and scores of barnacle-covered hulls had lazily rubbed for years at still more neglect ed docks, Old Neptune raises his tri- dent. and deserted shipyards spring to life. The old hulls are repaired, spars and rigging swing into place, new sails and fresh paint restore what seemed a useless derelict to a thing of beauty and profit. All along the Atlantic coast this transformation IS going on, for these rejuvenated craft pay for themselves often with their first cargo. If ships have souls, as poets say, what a thrill of joy must duiver through each timber as, with every stitch of canvas set, they head out to sea once more.
 Maine has been noted shipbuilding state; a century ago it was her great industry: thousands of men fashioned the craft which flew the Stars and Stripes on every sea and ocean. Five years ago the oldest shipbuilder in the state admitted the industry was prac- tically dead. One year ago the ship yards were deserted and rapidly be- coming a mass of rotting timbers and Junk. Today an army of men are working to restore these yards, and already keels are laid and frames of three and five-masters are taking

 "During the winter days when q few hours time can be given to the woodpile. we saw the pieces into the proper length. The kindling wood is then stored in even rows under shed where it will dry out and be aceessi- ble for future use.

shape. in some yards for tho first time in 15 years. In five towns alone In Maine S9 vessels are either already on the stocks, or in process of prepara- tion. And the prospects are that this revival is not to be short-lived, for there is a great scarcity of ships throughout the world and the contest for export trade with the close of the war will be terrific. Our poverty of merchant marine had not been gen. erally realized until the war; now that the condition is felt we are start ing to repair the damage. but years must elapse before we can take our place with other maritime nations. When the ocean liners of Europe again resume their regular sailings it Is doubtful if we can successfully com pete in other than coastwise traffic without some substantial subsidies such a s other nations extend to their ship companies Whatever the cost we, with the longest usable seacoast of any na- ton, should assume our rightful and necessary place on the seas.

French Soldiers Blue Bag

Marion Bonsall Davis in Leslie's.
 There is a studio in the heart of the Latin Quarter in Paris where the mode.- ing tools that used to form exquisite petits bronzes have been showed to the wall to make room for the paraphernalla of small blue bags-of no picturesque ness whatsoever.
 But on Sunday morning at the Care du Nord as the soldiers who have been on permission leave again for the front, the gates which ahe locked to all but moli- tary authority swing open In official welcome to young American artist and her small blue bags.
 She Is our own Marie Louise Brent, a. name well known to Paris artists and to those who follow with eagerness the ex- hibitions of the Salon. Though she was educated In Italy and Switzerland, and spent her art-student days at the Cola rossi. she calls Columbus, O.. home. Now, sometimes in the most roundabout ways folks from home," not only In Ohio. but unknown friends in widely scattered states, hear of the blue bags and send checks that still. more of them may be 1 filled. So that in a way that must bring to mind the widows cruse, some thousands of bags have started on their Sunday morning journeys to the trenches l around Verdun.
 | Every blue bag carries card with the crossed flags of France and the United States, in colors, and these words: With 1 the best wishes of your friends of the 1 United States" and below in capital let ters, ''Vive la F'rance"
 No name goes with it-just the greet ing: for this young American girl car 1 ries the bags as messenger at from her own country. And to the military au-
 thorities at the Care du Nord they rep
 resent an international courtesy that is | at the same time a most intimate and 1 heartening God-speed to French troops l The bags are the color of the uniform l and inside are the comforts that are
 luXuries in the trenches; warm stockings
 a handkerchief, timed plate, preserved fruit and cigars.
 Sometimes coming unexpectedly, there have been extra gifts. Once came in l fairy-like fashion several hundred sweat
 CTS and stockings from the American
 clearing house and the American dis tributing service; sometimes, too, Paris
 friends send the coveted cigarettes in small punches tied with the tricolor rib- bon.
 | It would be a wonderful thing if every 1 one of us in the United States could have
 the experience of placing one of these
 small blue bags In the hands Of French soldier on depart-see that flash of grat-
 itude from the French spirit that quick ] ems to every courtesy; receive the salute ' that makes one proud and humble at the same time, or hear the quiet, Merci | Mademoiselle," or Madame" or Mon sier," that bringing the lump to one's throat, makes it difficult to make it | response.
