PROSPECT HILL

Its a poor prospect for news
anymore from Prospect Hill For
dozen years we have viewed
the country and its activities from
this pleasant view point. Not
the least among these is our cor

been kindly considerate of our
shor. comings. We want to
thank HIM for exercising that
charity. which if he did not pos
sess, he would be las sounding
brass and tinkling cymbol.
Now that our connection wi. h
Prospect Hill is severed and we
will be operating in other fields
of labor, it is our pleasant antici-
patton to meet and greet our
friends and to support and main
tain as lively an interest in the
people and genera! public as here
tofore. We may get into print
,, occasionally as opportunity and
occasion warrants. We want to
still observe the laudable move
ments of our good neighbors and
manly struggle of our people in
the development of the wonder
full resources Of our common coun
try. There is no factor better
fitted to strengthen every good
word and work" than clean
ably edited newspaper, such as
our local papers are.

Sour associates until the war is
won and then we will come back

lit is humanely possible, we want

Carrying out this idea. an Am

THE "UNSINKABLE" SHIP.
Now we are to have the unsink
able" ship. The idea comes to
America from French and Italian
sources and already one unsink-
able" ship.-the Lucir-- is on Il g
high seas bound for Europe pre-
pared to defy the submarines.
The system is a comparatively
simple one. 1t consists in stow
ing airtight wooden boxes. about
l by 2 by 8 feet in size all along
the inner skin of the ship and al
so in the cargo. The space oc-
cupied by the boxes is about IA
per cent of the cargo space &C.
cupied by the boxes is about $15O
900 per ship.
The Supporters of the scheme
insist that a ship thus equjppe d
will keep afloat even is struck
fairly by three torpedoes.
The plan was first brought for
ward last July. but. it is said,
that combination of shipowners
succeeded in preventing its con-
sideral on f sh po vne 8 succeed
ed in preventing its consideration
These gentlemen collect full in
surance on al. ships lost and are
able to make more money by
loading ships heavily than by
sparihg part of the space for pro-
t ,ction
TIER protests have heen dis
regarded in the face of the AT
palling losses from su I'm 4rine at
tacks, 1t is estimated that dur
ing 1917 the allies lost 5000, Geo
registered tons Of shipping. At
n conservative estimate this was
wo t, $500 a ton or $4,000, 600
600.
But that is not the most sell
Gus feature of tn = loss. The ships

If the "unsinkable" ship can

have been taken toward winning
the war. Good Luck the Lucia.
