DRY-DOCKING SHIPS ON
RAILS TO MEET CONGESTION

With the increasing demand for
ships, due to the present day ship
ping situation, American vessels are
being used to their full capacity. For
the purposes of safety, frequent
overhauling becomes necessary,
which because of the crowded con-
dition of American shipyards, re-
quires dry docking. Limited facilities
for this purpose have led American
shipowners to put into use what is
known as a railway dry dock" more
extensively than heretofore. Econo-
my of time and expenditure are con-
trolling factors in this dry docking
system, which is capable of handling
even the largest of ships.
The railway dock is built on a
track, resting on firm foundations
and constructed on an incline. When
the vessel has been placed in posi-
ton, being held by keel blocks, and
bilge supports, the operation of dry
docking is accomplished by powerful
hoists, which haul the dock up the
incline track. The largest of the
railway docks can accommodate 8
ship of 1000 tons, and docking 9
vessel is a matter of not more thar
an hour, while it sometimes takes
five hours in the ordinary basin dock
to lift a ship out of water.-From
the Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Nearly All Holland Is
Put on Short Ration

The Hague, Netherlands, May A.
Nearly all Holland has been put on
q system of government rations be-
cause of the virtual stopping of
grain imports from America as a
result of the ruthless submarine
warfare and the poor crops of po-
tatoes and other vegetables. The En-
tente allies had long since put in
use a system of rati ,nIng the Hol-
landers in the matter of grain i'm
ports, but now the halt in the move
ment of all shipping has caused a
virtual cessation of all imports.
A breadcard system had been in
effect since February. Under the
new plan, potato and rye flour is
mixed with American flour, effecting
an economy of more than SO per
cent. in the consumption of wheat.
Owing to a shortage of the stocks of
potatoes, the allowance has been re-
duced and potatoeless days have
been established. The monthly ra-
ton of peas and beans to each per-
son amounts to little more than one
pound.
The other prime necessities of life
that are under direct government
control are being distributed to each
community according to the number
! of it's inhabitants, the local authori-
ties then dividing the supplies among
| the individuals.

HOW BOY SCOUTS
HELP RED CROSS
Specially Trained, They CO.
operate With Relief Organi-
cations Throughout Country

DR.. Ernest p. Bicknell. director
general of the American Red Cross,
and a member of the executive board
of the Boy Scouts of America, has
been in conference with other Off
cials ut the Boy Scout headquarters
this week, working out definitely the
plans proposed for the cooperation
of the 25S,O00 scouts and scout Of
ficials with the Red Cross in its war
work.
DR.. Bicknell is enthusiastic about
the prospects of efficient aid by the
Boy Scouts of America in various
branches of Red Cross work. In the
first place every Boy Scout receives
in his regular scout training instruc-
ton and practice in first aid and life
saving. and many scouts have gained
such high efficiency in first aid that
they have obtained the merit badge
which the Scout movement offers.
The second factor making for ef-
ficient cooperation with a great re-
lief organization like the Red Cross,
is that the Boy Scouts. wherever To-
Gated, in big cities or in hamlets, are
organized in definite groups and are
under responsible adult leadership.
This leadership can be quickly
reached with information an din
structions from national headquar-
ters. Thus it is that more than a
quarter of a million men and boys
with special training become direct
partners Of the National Red Cross
in the work it has to do to meet its
tremendous and steadily increasing
responsibilities in war time.
Naturally, of course, the service OF
local groups of this kind can be
given more effectively in co-opera-
ton with the local chapters of the
American Red Cross, and local scout
leaders everywhere will acquaint
themselves Immediately with the
local Red Cross needs.
In working out the plan, it has
been discovered that members of the
Boy Scouts of America might be
utilized in assisting surgical dressing
committees, motor committees, by
acting as orderlies in motor ambu-
lances or supply trucks, distributing
notices to inhabitants, and other
duties in connection with bllletlnS

cycles, motorcycles, HoISepdCh VI vi

THIS MACHINE PACKS SILAGE
SO THAT LITTLE SPOILS

A machine for packing silage in
silo has been invented and tried
out by an Iowa farmer. This me-
chanical packer. described in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine, does
away with the disagreebale task OF
tramping the feed down with the
feet. 1t also does the work much
more satisfa ctorilv. for the machine
weighs a ton and is able to pack
the silage close to the wall as thor
oughly as in the center. The loose
ness of the material around the
edges, which often results when
silage is packed by tramping, is a
source of considerable loss because
the air gets into the fodder and
causes it to spoil. This machine is
equipped with a heavy cone-shaped
roller whose length is about equal
to half the diameter of a silo. 1t is
driven in circular course by a
gasoline engine mounted on the sup
porting frame. The packer can be
quickly knocked down into parts,
