English Girls Good Farmers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-In one
county in England 1900 women are
officially reported employed in farm
labor of one kind or another, says the
Food Controller Of Great Britain in a
statement received here S-dsg by the
Food Administration. Soldiers sta
toned in England also are being used
to as large an extent as possible IN
the harvesting Of the crops.
Miss Talbot, director of the Woman's
Branch of Agriculture Of Great Britain,
reports condition for women working
on tn land are being made as pleasant
as ,.,ssible. and they arc doing all
classes of farm work. Speaking Of the
different types Of women who have
taken up farm labor, she says:
There vast he cottage woman hedg-
ing and ditching alongside the uni
versity woman. In the milk shops and
out in the fields where the hoeing and
manure spreading were going on
came across tea shop waitress, a
housemaid from the mansion house and
an officers daughter. This is surely
something akin TO the ranks of the new
army, filled as they are with men Of all
classes. The farmers seem to agree
that women have special aptitude IN
the case of stock. They are gentle,
and that tells with an animal they re-
norted"

Seattle Lumbermen Turn Shpbuilders and Set

shipping concerns travelled to implore
the new company to build ships for
them. From England, from France,
from Norway, from Japan they came.
The requirements Of the lumber mill
were forgotten. Skinner g. Eddy were
now shipbuilders. And they see a great
career ahead. Whether Vhe war lasts
one or FIVE years yet does not trouble
them. The lumbermen who turned a
flour mill into a shipysrd in which 5000
men work night and day in eight-hour
shifts, in a hurricane OF noise and a
storm of activity-the greenhorns who
have beaten all records in shipbuilding
who introduce new idea every day,
fear nobody. Let the Clyde and Bremen
come on with their challenge, is the
brave word from Puget Sound.
Incidentally, these ships that were
building for foreigners are now being
gathered in by Uncle Sam. and as fast
as the ways are emptied new ship
starts for us.
If you think that all this talk about
wooden ships is still debating society
output, take stroll along the water
fronts of Seattle, of Tacoma, OF Gray's
Harbor, of Portland, of Coos Bay, of
Eureka. On every hand the massive
frames are rising skyward, keel on
keel is being laid, and launchings are
as common as boards from a sawmill.

SO great has been this change in

On the whole the mechanics of farce
in 1897 did not differ greatly from the
mechanics of farce to-day. There was
then, as now, much running in and out
OF doors, much running up and down
Of stairs; the use of bedclothes as a

SEATTLE, Aug. 23.-Lumbcrmcn
turn shipbuilders and build steel ships
faster than they have ever been built
before.
Summed up In that sentence is one
OF those triumphs OF American IN
vcntive, organizing and constructive
genius that justify all our British
cousins say about us-when We are
around.
One year ago last February the
Skinner & Eddy yard, on Seattle's FL
lott Bay waterfront, consisted OF one
shed and fourmill plant. The pro-
prietors acquired the site to build two
ships for carrying lumber from their
Port Blakeley mill. They intended to
build the ships themselves because they
couldn't buy them.
To-day they are sending steel ships
Of around 10000 tons into the water
at the rate Of one a month From the
day the keel Is laid to the launching OF
the ship only seventy-eight days elapse.
If steel could be procured more rapidly
even that record would be broken.
A year and q half after work on the
yard began the company has eight
ships in the water. Completely equipped
ships with steam up and ready to cir
cumnavigate the world are turned out
in four and half months. The first
ship Of these green builders, 5000
miles from their steel supply, was
steaming out of the Straits OF San
Juan de Fuca loaded TO the Plimsol
line with cargo for Japan FIVE and a
half months from the day the keel was
laid.

Shipbuilding Idea
Drawn From Movies

type Of doors who never had any par

Nothing TO it," was his answer.
GLOW" ! asked.
Because this is the United States.
Because we are untrammeled by tradI-
ton"
The superintendent went to a motion
picture show and got an idea that has
already reyolutioniZed shipbuilding
methods in Western yards, and will
soon do so everywhere. Imagine a dig
nihed Englishmsn, with four genera
tions Of shipbullders behind him, con-
descending TO get an idea from a mo-
ton picture. At this picture show the
man who was commissioned TO build
ships, mo matter how, but build them"
saw picture of one of those aerial
trolleys used in the West for trans
porting logs in the forests.
He could hardly wait till the show
was over. The l0-cent admission had
saved him sec. 900 on every way in the
wards. That is the cost of the custom
airy scafolding around steel ship, on
which the overhead crane runs back
and forth carrying the parts. A. an
EXPENSE OF a few hundred dollars the
SUPERINTENDENT put up two masts over
the way. stretched the necessary wire
cables between them, instclled the over
head trolley and started right in build
ing ships.
The yards couldn't get steel because
there were no available Nat cars to
bring I from Pennsylvania.
