More Boys Than Girls
Are Born in Britain
Annual Report Show.

London, May 3.-The theory that
more boy babies than girls are born
in war time is supported by the an
nual report of the registrar general
for England and Wales. During the
first quarter of the war the proper
ton rose to 1.043 boys to 200 girls,
and the succeeding quarter was l.
044. For the four quarters of 1916
it rose to 1850, 1,O51, 1,045 and L.
$50. All these figures, says the re-
port, are considerably above any re-
corded during the preceding fifty
years, and are within measure BILE
distance of the general European
ratio, which for many years has been
considerably in excess of the Brit
ish.
The marriage rate was the highest
on record; the birth rate was the
lowest on record; the death rate
from typhoid fever was the lowest
on record: that from influenza the
highest since 1900, and that from
measles the highest since 1896. The
average ages of both men and wom-
en- marrying were the highest on rec
ord; that of men was 27.3 years:
women, 25.5. The infant mortality
rate was the lowest on record.
a rise in mortality among the
aged of both sexes is noted. 1t is a
feature that has appeared in the sta
ustlcs of other belligerent countries
and is regarded as a reflex of the un-
usual stress and anxiety of the time.

Plans For Building Big
Wooden Armada Nearly
Ready For Ship Builders

Washington May 3. - To allay
uncertainty among shlpbuilders who
expect to take contracts for vessels
OF the great wooden ship fleet, the
Shipping Board announced late to-
day that specifications ror a standard
ship would be ready in the very near
future.
The standard ship, the announce
ment said, will be about 2S0 feet over
ALL with a 24-foot depth of hold
and with two full decks and will be
capable of developing about 1900
horsepower. Some details remain to
he worked out, however, including
the question of bulllheads for protec-
tion from submarines. Officials said
preparation of the specifications
probably would be completed within
q few days, possibly by tomorrow.
The board will submit its plans
and specifications as soon as pos
sALe," read the formal announce
ET1lt. Bidders may propose to fur
nish completed ships or hulls only.
ANY firm desiring to permit pro-
posals to build completed ships
from their own plans may do so, but
such plans will have to be approved
by the boards engineers and all are
urged 10 wait until the standard
plans are ready"
Scores of shipbuilders have as
sured the board that they will take
contracts up to the limit of their
capacity and in the past few days
many of them have sent inquiries as
to how soon specifications would be
submitted and bids accepted. 1t is
understood that some of the delay
has been due to revisions made at
the suggestion of the visiting war
missions, particularly in regard to
means of protecting the vessels from
submarines. ON that feature of the
construction the Naval Consulting
Board also is giving advice.

of the situation. The president made
warm appeal to President Wilson

the tragic fact of starvation, which
would be her inevitable lot if her
imports were reduced and clearly
outlined Switzerland's utter depen-
dence on not only America, but both
groups of European combatants.

ADJUSTING AUTO PUSH RODS
Kssping Them in Proper Shape Means
Much to the Comfort of Those
Who Are Riding in the Car.

Push rods on an auto engine after
long use become worn and get noisy.
To adjust them you will generally find
two nuts, or screw and lock nut
which you can adjust by loosening the
lock nut, and screw the pin out until
you have about the thickness of an or
binary business card between the two,
being certain that the push rod is in
it's lowest position.
If no such adjustments are provided
you will either have to draw out the
valve stem or take rod about one
eighth of an inch larger than the stem,
drill a hole in the end the size of the
stem to depth Of one-eighth of an
inch, then cut off long enough to leave
q small cup with the bottom in, then
dress with file until you get the prop
err clearance.

ADDS TO LIFE OF MACHINE
Manufacturers Realize That Proper
Balancing of Engine Greatly In
creases the Efficiency of Car.

In the not very distant past many
automobile manufacturers gave but
casual attention to the balancing of
their engines, trusting to the vibra-
lions of the road to disguise those due
to the engine or divert attention from
the engine builder to the road builder
or to the tire maker. Great improve
ments have been made, however, for it
hassbeen realized that proper balancing
means much to the efficiency and life
of the entire machine, as well as In
creased comfort to the user, and the
advent of the Fights and twin skies
brought the subject still closer to the
designer. There is still much that can
be done in the way Of balancing NOV
ing parts and eliminating vibrations,
and our best engineers are giving the
subject careful study, although the
frequent changes of model delay the
results.
