BUILDERS TO USE TREENAILs
How Framework Of Ships Under Con-
struction for Uncle Sam VIII
Be Held Together.

The framework of the wooden ships
which are now being built for the
United States Emergency corporation
will not be held by even single metal
nail. They viii be pinned together
with treenails cut from the trunks OF
live oak or yellow locust trees.
There are two or three causes for
the use OF wooden nails. One is the
great need of iron and steel in other
lines Of war activity where wood
could not be used, and another Is that
the wooden pin is lighter than metal
one and less expensive.
Each ships hull will require 100000
of the treenails, and they will be
fastened in place by splitting each
end and driving in white oak wedge
Each ship will require 100000 wedges
1t is said that the wooden pins are
more quickly put in place than are
metal ones.
Treenails are "a inches long, ar
inch and a quarter in diameter anC
perfectly round. They are used t.
fasten the planks to the boat frames
Soon after a vessel is launched thu
pins swell to snug fit in the frame
work.
Timber for the ships comes fror
the sawmills in. 60-foot slabs Ia niche
through, and is then worked into tn
different sizes for the framework an
siding.
