BUILD SHIP I'M FIVE MONTHS
to Be Turned Out in About
Sixteen Weeks Time.

The first of the standardized mer-
chant ships built TO order for the Brit
ish government recently went through
successful trials of a very exhaustive
character, says the Scientific AmeTi-
can. The type has been designed TO
provide a good cargo-carrier. in the
shortest time, and with the least ex-
penditure of material. The keel of
this trial ship was laid last February,
and in less than six months the ship
was completed, loaded and ready for
trial.
The standardized vessels, which are
of 5000 tons capacity, are built In two
types-one q ~single-deck for grain and
the other a two-deck ship for general
cargo. 1t is also intended TO build two
similar types, each of 5000 and 5000
tons carrying capacity. Not only the
hulls but the engines are standardized.
They have extra large hatchways to
facilitate quick loading and discharg-
ing-a most important feature. The
first vessel was built In five months
time, and it is expected that future
vessels will be turned out In from
four TO four-and-one-half months

The work that has already been ac-
complished through the committees
efforts, according to Mr.. Hale, includes
the discovery of three kinds OF optical
glass, the investigation of light alloys
for use in aircraft, and the production
of a new hard porcelain from purely

18 MEN DIE IN MISSION FIRE
Aged ano Homeless Trapped When
Building Burns.

Paterson, n. j., Nov. 5.-From the
ruins Of the Salvation Army Rescue
Mission, which was destroyed by fire
in this city. eighteen bodies have
been taken. Ten men were taken to
hospitals with probably mortal in
juries and many others we're less
seriously hurt in leaping from win
dows of the burning structure.
Identification of all the dead will
be impossible, the police believe, as
the records of the institution were
lost in the fire. There were eighty
five men asleep in an old frame
building adjoining the main entrance,
used for storing magazines and news
papers.
Rapid spread Of the flames made
use of the only fire escape on the
building impossible, and the dodgers,
many of whom were old and crippled,
were driven to windows from which
they leaped before firemen could
catch them in nets.
Several of the elderly victims are
believed to have been suffocated in
their sleep and others who tried to
reach the street by the front entrance
so impeded one another in their flight
that they choked the p~assageway
where bodies were found huddled in
a heap.
