Origin of the Hohenzollerns

R. What is the origin Of !"
House of Hohenzollern?
Hohenzollern is the family name "
the House of Prussia, in which hn
been vested since 1871 the dignity "
German Emperor. The name is deriV"
from the ancestral Castle Zollern, o
Hohenzollern, in Swabia. The org"
of the house is involved in obseufP'

provide a stairway wide enough for the
coffin to come down.
Both Of these requirements have
been met at Well Hall. In addition,

the architect in charge had to know
the usual habits Of his tenants-to-be.
One of them was that the sitting room
is seldom used. After the table IS
cleared the family gathers around the
stove in the dining room. So all the

Big Details
OF a Big Job

Some Of the details of the work may
be of interest TO show how much was
done in the brief time allowed. Over
$4,000, 900 bricks were used and 10000
tons of cement. Nearly one hundred
thousand yards of drain and sewer pipes
were laid and $4,000 scaffold boards
were used in the building. For the
roads more than 1000 tons of flint
were employed and 5000 tons of tim
Der was necessary for the inside and
outside woodwork. At the busiest time
more than 1000 men were employed on
the construction, and the delivery of
material required more than nine miles
of light railway, five locomotives, 10
carts and II tractors. The complete
job included not only the building of
the houses, but the draining, sewerage,
making of roads, setting up street name
plates, lighting and all the rest of the
complications of full sized town. The
streets were all named after local celeb
rites, such as General Shrapnel, inven-
tor of the explosive which bears his
name.
The result is that Well Hall Is an
object lesson in how to do IL. II was
completed in so short a time that even
the ugly huts were beaten for speed.
The average cost is about $3.50 per
house, some 30 per cent more than the
huts cost. and after the war the houses
at Well Hall will still be earning rents
when the huts will be rolling in the
dust. And, best of all, Well Hall will be
a prosperous town, even should Wool
witch cease to be an arsenal, because it
is near enough to London to afford a
pleasant commuters home to thousands
of workers in the metropolis. 1t was
built to live in, and people will live in it..
without making invidious COMPARE
sons it may be pointed out that the

one hundred acres; in peace time most
of it had been given over to market
gardening, and vegetables fiourished IN
the moist soil of the sloping hills and
in the valleys. Trees grew haphazard
in the landscape; bitches, instead OF
drains, intersected the land at various
points. As a building site nothing
could be said in it's favor, except that 1t
was near Woolwich and had a railway
depot, a mile and a half away.
There you have what the architect
had to contend against. Take passing
glimpse of him and his fourteen fellow
workers, laboring far into the night
over the 5000 drawings which the work
demanded fighting with labor ex-
changes to get workmen, making dick
ers with all the railroads Of England,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales for the
transfer Of goods; buying bricks and
cement, tiles. and stucco and drain
pipes; arranging for deliveries, choos-
ing kitchen ranges and bathtubs-in
short. a G. II. @. for building, And
then turn to the finished product.

His suggestion is being seriously con

the shipping board and the shipping
corporation. His suggestion is that
vessels that will add a million to the
tonnage shall be first taken and that
afterward as occasion required these
can be added to while some of the
transformed steamers could relieve a
large number of the sailers while in
process of reconstruction.
Need Is Great
Need for added shipping was told
by Admiral Bowles yesterday before
meeting of the Philadelphia Chamber
of Commerce where he is reported to
have said: -~.
The United States must speed up
its shipbuilding program or lose the
war and all that is depending upon the
war. This must be our first duty and
our most patriotic duty" III
Admiral Bowles made these remarks
in dealing with the danger of strikes
and the disastrous effect of such
strikes on the shipping situation.
