 The wooden shipbuilding industry in this country went into decline many years ago. but there are hundreds of yards along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts whose owners are eager to qualify for parts of the contract. The yards vary in size with capacity for building from one to twenty five ships at a time. The labor supply for these yards is one of the serious prob lems of the enterprise for wooden shipbui1ding Is as much an art as a trade and the skill has waned with the industry. However, in the aggre- gate the country can still boast of a considerable number of skilled work CTS who can be distributed through the yards where they are most needed so that on the construction of each

The Babylonian king did not heed the warning which 1av in the writing on the wall. By heed ing the lesson that lies in that little gelatine plate we shall be very far in the way, we and our fellow men and women, of banishing the tuberculosis which 1t represents from human ex- Pperience and from off the face of the earth.
 Of course, flies are not the only agency in the spread of tuberculosis: for they are active but few months of the year, whilst that disease is con- tracted all the year round.
 Flies Swell Infant Death Rate.
 It is certain also that flies help greatly to, swell the infant death rate, which is greatest in the fly season. There are few more congenial culture media for germs than milk, especially amid the uncleanliness which obtains in the houses of very many poor peo- pie. especially in the tenements. This fluid easily becomes contaminated by flies and with the noxious matter that is continually clinging to their hairy feet, their spongy bodies a~d their fluffy wings. Tuberculosis is thus cer- tainly contracted by children, as are the various. forms of dysentery, prac- tically all, of which are germ ailments Breast fed infants seldom have such diarrhoeas, whilst bottle fed babies have them all too frequently. Typhoid fever is so often transmitted by flies that doctors speak of this insect as the typhoid fly. It pollutes food and drink, especially your milk, butter and sugar b-- means of the material whict

The lowness and lightness of these ships will not be conspicuous targets. for submarines and are ex- pected to be effective carriers o. ac- count of sheer numbers. Then too, the size and draught of the wooden craft will enable her to sail rarrow and shallow waters and make smaller ports where ammunition and food stuffs are so much needed.
 For this reason the small wooden ships were found useful during our Civil War. These small water craft were so successful that 500 ton gun boats were constructed by the Fed eral Government for maneuvering on the shallow rivers in the South. These little boats followed Farragut at New Orleans and Mobile Bay. When the war was over 1t was found that they were too light for ocean cruises, but they were a wise investment and served their purpose for the time be- ing. History may repeat itself in the case of our fleet of wooden emergency freighters. for if they are able to stem l the ruthless German submarine cam paign they will be worth their price te the Allies and the United States.
 Sections Vie with Each Other.
 Many of these ships will be built or the Pacific Coast owing to the p1enti- fitness of lumber and labor in that section. Then, too, the completed ships can be filled with lumber and bt sent to the Atlantic seaboard by way of the Panama Canal. It is estimated that in this way each vessel may carr labout $40,000 on it's initial trip whicI will pay for the voyage and net 2 handsome profit as well. The Gu1 States too are making bids for tht wooden ship contracts because ther, is an abundance of cypress and yellow pine in Louisiana, both of which l.la.-' ideal material for ship construction and Is within easy reach of the ship

yards along the coast. The managers of these Gulf shipyards declare that the wooden crafts they build can le counted on for fifteen years before the cost of repair work begins to tell on the profits, and they are ready to vie with any section ofthe country in their rapidity in turning out vessels.
 At Orange, Texas, on the Sabine River five shipyards are rushing work with entirely satisfactory labor ,on- ditions. The weather in this section is such that the, men are able to work every day. AS Orange was opened as port in January of 1916, the rapid development of the shipyards there is a hopeful sign that the wooden fleet may be speedily built for this is but a sample of the energy that the South is exhibiting in this national crisis.
 New England has long figured as the leader in wooden shipbuilding and many of the famous clipper and frig- ates went down the ways of these yards. The managers are rushing their present contracts in order to . ready to take up the Governm ent work. So all over the country the yards stand ready to mobilize their workmen for work on the great fleet which is expected to break the sub- marine blockade and win the wa-.

 Another merit of these small wooc- en ships is that they take fewer men las crew, only thirty-fv being needed on deck and in the engine room. All the ships will carry a gunners' crew and be armed with rapid fire batter. les. Chairman Denman expects cal to be made to the young men of the semt-mflitary colleges of the middle l West to man the guns of the wooder freighters. This may be two-fol6 value to the United States. for beside e. protecting our food carriers, the serv. ice will give these boys an experienct which after the war is over may serve the country well by spreading the gospel of a big merchant marine ant great navy which has heretofore beer blocked by the representatives of tn, middle West. Meanwhile, the con struction of steel ships will go on al we'll, although 1t will be slow as com pared with the turning out of tL, wooden fleet.

building, which has brought about this new plan of a wooden ship Feet. "The unprecedented shortage of steel tonnage, due to the enormous destruc- ton of vessels as the result of the European War, has naturally increased -abnormally the cost of steel vessels. and due to the active entrance iof for eign buyers in athesAmerican market, the output of all the leading steel ship yards in this country that will not be required for Government purposes has already been taken, covering a period of nearly two years in advance. As a consequence of this, the attention of those needing vessels has again been turned to the wooden ship, with the result that the industry of wooden shipbuilding has not only been re- vived along the Atlantic seaboard,z but in all parts'ef the ieoAn tfy &h sre zaBer and material conditions are favorable new wooden shipbuilding enterprises have been started. Many of these are capable of turning out large vessels, | and there is at the present time a: great number of wooden ships actually
 under construction. Most of these will
 be operated by the Deisel or. semi-
 Deisel engine. At present 1t is; pos- | SlDl6 to nave OullL a WOOQSu motor
 vessel capable of carrying from 3,600
 to 4 ,000 tons of cargo, within a period
 of nine per cent. lower than equivalent
 steam steel tonnage, which could cer-
 tainly not be secured on an earlier, delivery than fifteen months" Coming from this authority, it would
 seem that the argument in favor of 1 the wooden craft is very strong for
 our present needs.
 1 In regard to the matter of struc- turaI steel and the part it has played in the promotion of wooden shipbuild- ing lately, few figures will make the
 conditions clear. In July, 1914, the
 price of steel ship plates in this coun- try averaged s25 long ton. year later the cost was $28.67, and in July
 of 1916. the price quoted was $64.96 The cost of structural steel has ad- vanced with the same rapidity. All our steel is needed in the construction of our battleships and the yards en- Jagged in this work are already taxed to their capacity. The wooden hip
 served our ancestors for many years
 even as battleships, and there is n,
 reason to believe that they will noi do so again, and by their rapid con-
 struction replace the millions of tons
 of shipping which have been destroyed tby Won Terpitz U-boats.

 Besides the diseases mentioned flies have been brought to the bar on in dictments for having spread cholera, lockjaw, trachoma (granular lids). anthrax (the stable fly is here guilty). and something like a dozen more germ diseases. The ordinary fly may swallow the eggs of tapeworms and other intestinal parasites. and then distribute those eggs where they may do hurt to humankind.
