Rivet Count, Shipbuilding
Unit, Gives Caps Big Task

Seven thousand steel riveters stead
lily for eighty weeks will be required
to build a feet of a thousand steel
ships, IL the United States Shipping
Board, under its new management. de.
cides to construct that many vessels
to furnish tonnage to defeat the sub
marine blockade. Expert shipbuilders
have based this estimate on their ex.
perience in building steel ships dur.
ing the last few years in the best
equipped shipyards in the country.
The unit OF measure for determin-
ing the length OF time required. the
number of men, the cost, and nearly ali
other items of steel ship construction
is the number of rivets. All estimates
for ship construction must be made
in accordance with the extent OF the
riveting to be done.
After a contract for a steel ship is
entered into. about two-and-a-half
months must be consumed in pre-
liminary construction before the rivet-
ing begins, but from that time on
the riveters are never OF the ship
until she is turned over.
Five Million q Week.
Each Of the steel ships planned for
the shipping board will require ap-
proximateIy 10000 rIvets or 400. OOO,-
900 rivets for a fleet OF a thousand
such vessels. The present plans OF
the shipping board call for delivery
Of the vessels in eighteen months.
This means that In order to turn out
the craft, rivets must be driven at
the rate of 100000 per week for
eighty weeks.
While the riveting is one OF the
principal tasks connected with the
building Of a modern steel ship, there
is other work which requires the
services Of hundreds OF expert work.
men. For instance, as soon as the
rIveting is well started, the calking
begins. In steel ships this Is a care
full Job, as the seams must be tight
ened with a neatness and thorough
ness which will prevent the admit
lance OF any water. Both Of these
Jobs are tedious and require skilled
workmen, indicating the vast magni-
tude Of the shipping boards under
taking.
Expert shipbuilders- say that the
country cannot Immediately supply
sufficient workmen TO perform these
tasks. The structural steel Industry
OF the country can produce thousands
Of riveters, but these men are de-
cIared to be not sufficiently skilled
to do steel ship riveting. In build
ing ships the plates must be riveted
together so tightly that not so much
as a knife blade can pass between
them. Such nice work is unnecessary
to the erection Of steel buildings.
Foremen Can Train Others.
The shipbuilders figure, however,
that with experienced ship riveters
to act as foremen, gangs Of struc-
turaI steel riveters can be whipped
into shape to do ship riveting. 1t Is
expected that much OF the work done
by the structural steel men during
the FIRST few months OF their expert
ence will have 10 be gone over again
to DE put in proper shape.

CADD|ES JOIN
IN PRAISE Of
EDDIE EYNON
By BILL PRICE.

By BILL PRICE.
Good fellows and good fellowship
held sway yesterday afternoon and
last night on the links and in the
spacious club rooms of the Columbia
Country Club.
It was to celebrate the esteem and
affection in which E. ]. Eynon, jr,
champion golfer of the District, and
the dub" golfers best friend, is
held In and out Of the club, for of
the 130 participants in the golf con-
tests and at the dinner, many were
members Of other clubs.
All were leading business and pro-
fessional men who immensely en-
3oyed the bringing together in demo-
cratic fashion of so many friends and
found the entire afternoon and even
ing one round Of fun and sportsman

SaturnaIIa for CaddIes.
And the golfers were not the only
ones who voted the event a great one.
The caddies, little and big, never had
such e good time, nor received so
much remuneration. Literally re-
warded for their services in regular
fees, they added many dollars to this
IN scrambling for big coins scattered
among them by club members who
were determined that nobody should
have kick or complaint when the day
had ended.
The score cards for the various
golf contests bore "Eynon day" in
large letters. The contestants were
bent upon having a good time and
gave less attention to fancy scores
than to celebrating the real spirit
OF the occasion. The contests were
NOVELETTE, fats and the leans, the
southpaws and baldheads, bachelors
and benedicts, juniors and seniors,
all having a chance to win some of
the prizes.
All To Laud Eddie
At the festive board in the even
ing everything was conferred on pay
ing tribute to Eddie" Eynon. The
same object and the jolly banqueters
were not disposed to listen to
speeches that strHyed far away from
that object
Carter B. Keene, chairman Of the
committee, arranged the celebration,
presided as POSTMASTER, ably assist
ed by Albert Mckenzie and ICY" Cum
mings. George James and Alpheus
Winter had the hard job of going over
the score cards and declaring the
winners.

speaking by referring TO the good

 According to the governor, the de- scription of the land as set forth in the blll includes only a small portion of the property. It is understood that the description given in the bill does not even include the building.
 Much time, expense and incon- venience can be saved. it is believed. by remo1eling the bill at the present time. Only few changes will be nee esSary, it was stated. to put the bill in the proper shape. Governor Camp bell stated that he had no objection to the sale of the property. r Substitute Senate Bill No. 30 was signed late last evening This bill provides that the state shall cooperate with the department of labor at Wash ington with relations to establishing employment bureaus in this state.

Brush this through faded, ifeless locks and they become dark. =

Hair that loses its color and lusSre, or when it fades. turns gray. dull and lifeless. Is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays VIC get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for u 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's sage and Sulphur Compound,'' which dark ems the hair so naturally. so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides. 1t takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that. besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications. 1t also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an ap- pearance of abundance-Advertis ment

After brief argument by counsel for Campneii and Hunt yesterday morning. Judge Stanford ruled that he would not permit Hunts attorneys to introduce the ballots in precincts where rne pre- liminary inspection had shown that Campbell had gained over the official count
 Hunts attorneys claimed that they had the right to count all the precincts in the state. and that they had not had time enough since the trial began to get their witnesses necessary to make proof Judge Sloan stated unless Hunts attorneys would avow that they were introducing the precincts in the helief that Hunt would gain thereby as a matter of law they were not en- titled to do so.
 In ruling against the admission. of these precincts by Hunt at this time court intimated he was actuated by the insincerity of Senator Ives plea We are doing this as a matter of fair ness to Campbell
 Attorney Struckmeyer then asked that q few precincts be counted by Campbell while Hunt was rounding up his witnesses from outlying precincts, including the clerk of the Apache coun- " bodi q oI SupeTNlSOfS- an dlectlON officer from Gila Bend. etc Camp bells attorneys stated they would con- cede whatever time was necessary to the other side to complete their case When asked by the court whether they had any more witnesses present, Hunts attorneys produced the clerk from Apache county MT. Uuall who gave the usual testimony as to the condition of the ballot bags.
 At the conclusion of this evidence Senator Ives presented a list of 56 precincts for final acceptance by the court, in which precincts Hunt had made gains. The Campbell attorneys were given until this morning to check this list for the purpose of ascertain ing if any rejected or spoiled ballots requiring further proof were included Nltn the ballots in these precincts.
