Philadelphia's infant death rate and un-

tuated women Of this city to offer them

than that of any other large city in the

"NONSINKABLE SHIP"
PLANS ARE FINISHED
Hudson Maxim Announces
First Vessel of Type Will
Be Started Soon

Hudson Maxim, noted inventor and
preparedness pioneer, who will visit Hog
Island today, announces that plans for
his 'nonsinkable. shock "A bsorbing, tor
pedo-proof ship" have been perfected and
construction of the first vessel would
be commenced as soon as shipyard is
available.
Mr. Maxim is going to the Hog Island
plant today to familiarize himself with
the work being done there and to get
a fuller realization of the wonderful
speed with which the huge plant has
been completed.
Members of the naval consulting board
are expected to accompany Mr.. Maxim
on his inspection tour.
The inventor said there was no guess
ing in the planning of the unsuitable
ship all It's plans being based on
scientific deductions from actual expert
ments. He said 1t was certain the ves-
sci would be success and would have
all the virtues claimed for It.
Pulverized coal will constitute the
principal part of the buffer cargo and
will also be used for fuel in the torpedo
proof ship. 1t will provide resistance
to the torpedo by operation of prin-
ciple similar to that which operates In
the Maxim silencer.
The coal will absorb the gasses and
energies of the torpedo blast as the
silencer absorbs and "eats up the smoke
and vibration of the gun explosion, Mr.
Maxim said

can be checked only by prompt action
on the part of the United states Gov

tors and nurses for the Department Of
Charities and health and by an extern
sion of the organization of volunteer

1t Is in the volunteer work that the
thirty women recruited to this service
will be used. Results of recent investl-
cations made by John Ihder. OF the
housing committee, and his assistants as
to the cause for infant mortality have

Chicago. June IS.
Having depended upon manufacturers
to build for war use the ships that will
make the American mercantile marine
the largest in the world, the nation must
also look to the manufacturers to find
work for those ships after the war is
over. declared Edward ~ Hurley chair
man of the United States Shipping
Board, addressing the Illinois Manufac-
turers Association IN convention here
today.
Some people" he continued. are a
little impatient when we suggest plan
ming for peace times. They maintain
that all effort must be centered on win
ming the war. Not for moment do 7
wish to suggest tnat our tremendous war
task can be lost sight of.
But the greater our concentration
upon war, the greater our need for
ships, and the more of them we shall
build. The more vigorously we fight the
war the more tonnage we shall have al
our disposal when peace is declared.
believe that wise foresight now, in util
izing this tonnage after the war to de
velop our own world trade and develo,
trade and industry in other countries
particularly the smaller and younger ma.
tions, will be direct help to winning
the war, not hindrance.
