Twelve Bic ones Growing.

Twelve 10.000-ton ships are now on
the ways Of a single company in Sc
attic. Under the stress Of necessity
methods of construction have been de.
veloped that promise 70 revolutionize
the ship building methods of the world
To begin with, the vessels are all
standardized. Parts are fabricated fol-
q dozen ships on the same plans. The
material is carried from the shops td
the ship on aerial tramways. The
work is done largely by machinery
The old method was to rivet the sides
together plate by plate. The new
method puts the plates together in the
shops in large sections which are
swung into place by heavy cranes
This wholesale way of throwing ma
terial together makes it possible to
launch q large ship in 90 days instead
of six months or year. If the East
ern shipyards are able to keep up with
the Pacific coast in the race for quick
building, the American merchant ma.
rine will be something for the world
TO reckon with in a very few years

says a local minister. ut is this mis-
taken notion that furnishes most Of

is the foolish idea that good results
can come from mistaken and unguided
motives. What men think and feel
