the United States has the slightest ap-
probation Of the tremendous prob

At this one port American engineers
are rushing work on one unloading

time.
Forty huge cranes-four for each

various classes of supplies to their

drawing four trailers while four others

that the usual clothes posts did not
disf1gure her yard. When inquired
about them she explained.
Her husband drove pointed stakes
about two and one-half inches in dia-
meter down to a depth of about three
feet into the ground. Into the holes
above these stakes he drove three
foot lengths OF pipe. On. wash days
he brings out the clothes posts. which
are lengths of pipe Of a diameter just
to fit the pipes in the ground, and
sets them in. Through holes In the
tops OF the posts he has driven pins
for the support of the clothes line.
After wash day Is over the posts are
returned to the basement and the
mouths Of the pipes in the ground are
covered with metal caps. These dc
not interfere with the lawn mower
