Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

American shipbuilding Is at the height
Of a boom at the present time and thts
prosperity wave is likely to last for years
after the war. according TO Joseph A
Moore. president OF the Moore & Scott
Iron Works, OF San Francisco. who has
just closed. with the assistance of Ira s.
I.illick, HIS, counsel. a contract to build
three 10,00o-ton ships for the Cunard Line.
ut seems a fact that Is almost un-
KNOWN" said Mr.. Moore at the Willard
yesterday, ''that the Cunard Line has or
dered the construction of 100 ships. TO
cost more than 100000 which will be
put into the transatlantic freight trade
as soon as possible to take the places OF
ships lost in the German U-boat cam
paign.
There have been hundreds Of ships
sunk during the present conflict and
these vessels must be replaced. America
is going to get her share of this work
whereby we will build three of these
vessels. I've been away from San Fran
cisco for four months, but am goins
back now, feeling that my work was well
repaid.
dLots OF people think that the United
States has gained SSOooo,0o0 worth OF
ships by seizing interned German liners
at American ports. This Is all wrong
Unless some of these vessels are sunk
turned back to their German owners al
the end of the struggle. All the United
States will get from these ships will be
their use, which will probably be TO con-
vert them into naval auxiliary vessels OF
some sort. II shipbuIlding continues al
its present rate, America will soon begir
to rival Norway, which has gone into
the shipbuilding industry heart and soul

The South Is worrying over report,
that German agents are stirring up tn,
negroes In that section Of the country
according to DR.. H. F. Mitchell, o.
Greenville. s. c., who is registered a
the Raleigh.
I'VE have had pretty fair evidence,
said DR.. Mitchell, yesterday ''tha
agents OF the Berlin government hay,
been going through the South trying Il
stir up the negro population to revol
against the white race. and a great man,
persons in our part of the country ar
worrying over the possibility Of a rea
black uprising.
Personally, I think there's not tn,
slightest chance OF anything like tina
happening. Strange as It may seem, tn
negroes never have forgotten. the Kl
! Klux Klan and while there may be
few irresponsible. hot-headed negroes
who will lend themselves to such cause
the rank and file Of the race In the Soutl
wifi ignore sucn efforts
"Since the civil war. the negro-partic
| ularly the Southern negro-has givel
ample proof that he will take a bacl
seat for no one in the matter Of loyaltl
to his government. The present genera
tion hasn't forgotten the spectacula,
dash Of the negroes at San Juan HIl
and II American troops actually get int
conflict with German troops. you will int
the negro regiments covering them
| selves with glory. It's strange, but tn
people who most fear a negro uprising

knows its negroes and knows how 1t cal
depend upon them"

Every season the grower Of small

WAYS pcstiferous starting, enjoy tresh
fruit even as you and /. Where sIcn
birds are plentiful and no protective
methods are adopted to check their VI '
roads on the crop, considerable loss
may be sustained.
DO not misunderstood me birds 40
infinitely more good than harm, ana
no stems should be omitted TO protect
I'M every way our useful native species

Negative as well as positive methods
of protecting the fruit crop from olris
inroads are recognized.
The former consist principally IN

restricted and its guardian rather

Covering effectively is obviously i'm
practicable In the case of anything as

"Clearing House"
For Poor Opened
Experiment Of Connecting Needy
with Charity Organizations
Begins on East Side

The first Of chain Of community
clearing houses" which may some day
encircle the city has been opened at
2l7 East Twenty Street, 20
connect the needy among the 10000
residents of the Gramercy neighbor-
hoods forty square blocks with the
aids and comforts which city depart
ments and private charitable enter
prses make a business Of providing.
I'm a preliminary survey IT has been
established that those in the section
most in need of help are the last,
often, TO seek IT from the city. To
the alien mind it is hard to compre-
hend that government has other func-
tions than putting politicians in ONCE,
policemen on the streets and taxes IN
the public treasury. That more than
this is embraced in the American idea
Of government will be one Of the first
lessons taught
The new clearing house is 70 be a
gateway not only to the resources OF
the hundred-Odd city bureaus engaged
in educational, correctional and well
fare work. but TO those OF the city's
! 300 private welfare agencies and to
Inc purses OF WELT O-uO anu CHniiN y
disposed Gr>mercy residents.
Gramercy has been selected "a the
neighborhood for the experiment since
no other in New York contains such
diverse and complex elements OF popu-
lation. Irish, Germans, Italians and
Jews are there TO be found in almost
equal proportions. There are within
its confines the poyerty-strlcken
neighborhoods of the gashouse dis
tlict and the wealthy neighborhoods
Of Rutherfurd Place. Livingston Place
and Stuyvesant Square.
Through the work of the clearing
house the red tape which now inter-
poses its tangles between the poor
and municipal aid will be cut away.
In the same way applicants will be
referred. when there is no city provi-
sion for their needs, to the proper
private organization. And in cases
which fall outside even the scope Of
private welfare work the clearing
house staff will make a direct appeal
20 individual neighbors TO whom
fortune has been kind.

On the Screen

"Thc Jaguar's Claws" which is tho
feature picture at the Rialto this week.
Us melodrsma pure and simple per
haps more simple than pure. The plot
is hung on the primitive instinct Of the
caycman. who believes that he should
drag of the desired female By the hair
OF her head and compel her admiration
with a whip. Only in this instance it
happened that the rag and bone" OF
contention belonged to a lighting Amer
lean. and so naturally FL Jagusr got
the worst OF IT,
Scssuc iiayakaws is the intrepid ban
dit, named FL Jaguar because his method
is TO strike swiftly from under cover.
This clever Japanese actor could not do
anything inartistic if he tried. and he
gives splendid performance as the
Mexican bandit. FRITZ Brunette, as
Beth Thomas, is decidedly good TO look
A., but she does not seem 20 be con-
vinclng, perhaps because IL Is impos-
sible TO convince an audience Of some
things. Marjorie Daw is Nancy Jordan,
the sister who was stolen by the Jag
uar's emissares before she had time
to get into her riding coat, so that she
was forced 10 run around in boots and
little panties in very undigniiied man
ner.
Tom Moore is Phil Jordan. an enter
prising young American who is sent to
Mexico 10 take charge of some OIL
fields. Before he leaves. however, he
marrics Beth Thomas, but she cannot
possibly go 10 Mexico without trous-
seau. and so il is his sister Nancy, and
not his wife, who accompanies him
across the border
RI JagUar catches sight of Nancy as
she steps from the train, and then and
there he resolves 10 possess her, not
withstanding the fact that he has a
couple Of perfectly nice brides already
which ne has stolen from the altar just
after they had been joined in wedlock
to the men Of their choice.
Nancy rcpulses him, so the Jaguar
sends his men 10 capture her, and by
mistake they take Beth, the wife who
has just joined her husband.
As soon as they find out their mis-
take they set out after Nancy, and then
Phil sets out after the two Of them.
The Jagusr invites him to take his
choice and leave the other girl with
him, but Phil cannot choose. so Beth
elects to stay, and tells Phil and Nancy
10 go and leave her there.
Things happen fast after that, and
there is thrilling rescue by the
Americans, while the Jaguar Is dis
posed Of according to his own favorite
method.
There are hundreds of horses. some
wonderful horsemen, plenty of fine
scenery. lots Of exciting scenes where
people threaten to stab each other, and
sometimes do, and good cast. so this
newest vehicle for Sessue Hayakswa
may fairly be called success, even If
the plot is negligible.
The second instalment Of the Land
Of the Rising SUM-" very beautiful
japanese picture, was shown. as also
was the first instalment Of picture Of
the Panama Exposition, called THE
Thirteenth Labor OF Hercules"
