FIRST CONCRETE SHIP
DEMONSTRATES VALUE
Faith, Weathering Storms Four
Months, Praised by Shipping
Men

Uncle Sans first concrete ship. the Faith,
has battled with the severe storms of the
Pacific Ocean and has come through with
flying colors. Against the elements the big
cargo carrier proved as stanch. as any wood
or steel craft. and after four months Of serv-
ice, in the language of the old salts, Is as
dry as a bone"
This tribute to the Faith was paid today
by G. NJ. Scofield, president OF the Scotield
Engineering Company. of this city. Mr.. SEQ
field has just returned from San pieRo. Cal.
where his company IS building a ~shipyard
fer the construction of concrete ships.
While on the Pacific coast he studied the
performances Of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Faith
that was launched in San Francisco on March
IA, and he has returned to Philadelphia with
the firm conviction that the Faith marks a
new era in American shipbuilding.
Since the Government contracted for the
Faith, certain steamship builders and ma
riners have viewed the craft with skepticism.
they had little hope in the new craft and
were certain that II would not stand the
tests of ocean storms. .
Their misgivings.' says Mr.. Scofeld.
were groundless. for after four months
actual service the ship is as starch as the
day she slid into the ocean. A few weeks
ago the shin was caught in a heavy storm
and received a test that is given to few
vessels. Great seas smashed her about,
tumbled on her decks and administered a
severe flashing, but the craft came through
w hy'hb NoAo's $500 s''"a 80 Sii's
of her sponsors. In that storm the concrete
hull was not damaged. and strange to relate,
the inside lining of concrete was so dry that
one could rub of the soft surface.
Mr.. Scofield's company is building a yard
at san Diego for the construction of eight
concrete vessels for the Government. The
first launching Ia scheduled for February =.
Five Yards at Jacksonville, Fla; Mobile,
Ala: Wilmington. n. c.; San Francisco
and San Diego have obtained contracts for
eight ships each, and inside of thirteen
months more than thirty ships of the Faith
type will be in service.
Despite the success of the Faith and the
many concrete vessels that have been con-
structed in Holland, France. Denmark and
sweden. 1t is not likely that this type Of
craft will be constructed at Philadelphia. Mr..
Scoield says that climatic conditions in this
section of the country do not meet the re-
auirements of concrete ship construction, and
that for the present California will continue
to be the ideal lScation.
AT San Diego" he says. 1--WE have little
rain and even temperatures. This condition
permits us to season the concrete properly,
which Is so essential in the work. Low tenn
peratures and heavy rains so common in this
section retard construction"

One farm / visited at Versailles contains $50
acres and has soldiers working. all of whom
have been transferred from fighting units to

methods great camions, filled with new pota-

the front nearly every day.

Twelve Cents

Milk prices will return next Sunday to the
figures prevailing here last spring-thirteen

the price may even go lower.
According to dealers, the cost of making.
