DRIVING RIVETS SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
of Them Are Needed in
Steel Ship.

The largest single item in the labor
of fabricating a steel ship is in the
riveting of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivets is taken as standard
Of size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. TO build a 10000 ton
ship week means the driving OF
about 100000 rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards of San Francisco, as
at present equipped and freed from Ia
Dor troubles, can drive about 3OO,OOO
rivetS, although in a record week 1t
drove 411OO0 rivetS; the four next
largest yards in AmeriCa-at Fore Riv-
er, Mass, at Newport News, Va at
Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware-can drive 100000 to 275,000
rivets a week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
10000 to 10000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite all the inventions
devised to speed it up, remains hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists of two men and two boys
the riveter. his "holder-on," the pasSer
boy anu lne neuCer DOy. Inc gang
drives from 300 to 375 rivets in the
course of a ten-hour day and is tired
at the end of it. But when you know
that it takes four men all of working
day to drive an average of a little less
than $50 rivets, you can begin to see
the full size of the labor problem of
driving at least 100000 rivets a week
necessary to turn out a 10,OOO-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words, you need 1900 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har-
per's. Ten ships a week-the tremen.
dous program for 1918 to which we
stand cOmmitted-means 100000 riv-
cts week. And the rivet capacity Of
our five greatest yards-with a total
working force of $4,000 men at the end
Of 1917-was but 100000 rivets
week. And riveting represents only
about 20 per cent in the construction
Of ship.

CHAPTER XV-Continued.
II.


'YOure the incest old things that
ever lived" said Lark, still laughing,
but with great warmth and tender
ness in her eyes and her voice. But
you can take the stockings back and
save your money if you like-we love
you just as much"
But this the happy donors stoutly
refused to do. The twins had earned
this wealth of hose, and finally, wiping
their eyes, the twins began to smooth
their hair and adjust their ribbons and
belts.
"What's the matter?" "Where are
you going| "Will you buy the rest
of us some silk stockings?" queried the
family, COmic-Opera effect.
"Where are we going?' Carol re-
peated, surprised, seeming to feel that
anyone should know where they were
going, though they had not spoken.
'We're going to call on our friends,
of course" explained Lark.
"Of course" said Carol, jabbing her
hairpins in with startling energy. "And
we've got to hurry. We must go to
Mattie's and jeans and Betty's and
Fans and Alice's and-say, Lark, may
be we'd better divide up and each take
half. It's kind of late-and we mustn't
miss any"
swell, what on earth ~ gasped Pru-
dence, while the others stared in
Speechless Amusement.
"For goodness sake. Carol hurry.
We have to get clear out to Minnie's
tonight, if we miss our supper"
"But what's the idea? What for?
What are you talking about?"
'Why, you silly thing" said Carol
patiently, 1--WE have to go and tell our
friends that we've got four pairs of
silk stockings, of course. I wouldn't
miss this afternoon for the world. And

Prudence looked startled. did |
say that?"
Certainly. You said pleasure-but
excitement's very pleasing, most of the
time. Come on, Larkie, We'll have to
walk fast"
And with a fond goodby to the gen.
erous family, the twins set out to
spread the joyful tidings, Lark paus-
ing at the door just long enough to
explain gravely, "Of course, we won't
tell them-er-just how it happened,
you know. Lots of things in parson-
age need to be kept dark. Prudence
says so herself"

Making Life Worth While.

To increase your earning capacity,
you must be an energetic live speci-
men of humankind. You should be
throbbing with surplus power. You
should possess a degree of strength
that will give you confidence and cour.
age and endurance. Then you can go
on day after day, relates a writer, add
ing to your skill and knowledge and
power in your profession. And when
you have climbed to the highest point
on one sphere of endeavor, you will be
ready to look around for other work,
and continue to experience the delights
that come only with the daily strug-
gle, required for the attainment of the
objects one has in view. Do not forget
the value of systematic effort. Do not
waste your energies. Intelligent direc.
ton is all-important. Force, to be of
value, must be applied at the proper
place. Effort, to be productive of re-
ward, must be directed by superior in
telligence.

you like them DID," he repeated,
smiling. "You are very generous. One
old one is all 1 want you to like" But
when he leaned toward her lips, Carol
drew away swiftly. Don't be afraid
of me, Carol. You didn't mind once
when | kissed you" He laid his hand
softly on her round cheek. 81 am too
old, dearest, but I've been loving you
for years, l guess. I've been waiting
for you since you were little fresh
man, only l didn't know it for a while.
Say something, Carroll don't want
you to feel timid with me- You love
me, don't you? Tell me, if you do"
I'll" She looked up at him despe-
rately. "I-well, I made you say it.,
didn't II"
did you want me to say it, dearest?
Have you been waiting, too? How
long have you"
"Oh, long time; since that night
among the rose bushes at the parson-
age"
"Since then?'
yes; that was why 1t didn't break
my pledge when you kissed me. Be-
cause WAS waiting then"
'Do you love me?"
"Oh, P'fessor, don't make me say 1t
right out in plain English-not to-
night. I'm pretty nearly going to cry
now, and" She twinkled a little
then, like herself, you know what cry
ing does to my complexion"
But he did not smile. Don't cry"
he said. 1--WE want to be happy to-
night. You will tell me tomorrow. To-
night"
Tonight" she said sweetly, turning
in his arms so that her face was
toward him again, "tonight-" She
lifted her arms, and put them softly
about his neck, the laces falling back
and showing her pink, dimpled elbows.
"Tonight, my dearest" She lifted
her lips to him, smiling.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Girl Who Wouldn't Propose.

It took a long time for Carol to re-
cover from the effect of Lark's disloy-
atty, as she persisted in calling it. For
several weeks she didn't twinkle at all.
But when at last the smiles came easy
again, she wrote to Mr.. Duke, her
p'fessOr no longer, but now a full
fiedged young minister. She apollo
glzed sweetly for her long delay.
But you will forgive me when you
have read this" she wrote. Cupid is
working havoc in our family. Of
course no one outside the home circle
knows yet, but l insisted on telling you
because you have been such a grand
good friend to us for so long. We may
seem young to you, because you can't
forget when we were freshmen, but
we are really very grown up. We act
quite mature now. and never think of
playing jokes. But didn't finish my

whole family is very happy about it {;
he is great favOrite with everyone.
But how our family is going to pieces
Still, since it is jim! He is nice,
isn't he? But you wouldn't dare say
no."
Carols eyes glittered wickedly as
she sealed this letter, which she had
penned with greatest care. And few
days later, when the answer came, she
danced gleefully up the stairs-not at
all mature" in manner, and locked the
door behind her while she read:
Dear Carol:
Indeed am very interested, and wish
you all the joy in the world. Tell Jim for
me how very much l think he Is to be
congratulated. He seems fine fellow,
and know you will be happy. It was a
surprise. / admit knew ne was doing
the very devoted-but you have seemed
so young to me. always l can't imagine
you too grown up for jokes. though you
do sound more mature" in this letter
than you have before. Lark will be lone
y, am afraid.
II am very busy with my work. so you
will understand If my letters come less
frequently, won't you? And you will be
too busy with your own happiness to
bother with an old professor any more
anyhow. l have enjoyed our friendship
very much,-more than you will ever
know,-and ! want once more to hope you
may be the happest woman in the world.
You deserve to be.
Very sincerely your friend,
DAVID A. DUKE.
Carol lay down on the bed and
crushed the letter ecstatically between
her hands. Then she burst out laugh
ing. Then she cried n little, nervously,
and laughed again, Then she smoothed
the letter affectionately, and curled up
on the bed with a pad of paper and

most beautiful thing to see. Every few
weeks he ran down for few days"
ana II he spent most of his time re-
counting his uncle's symptoms before
the sympathetic STAIRS, no one could
be surprised at that. He and Mr..
Starr naturally had much in common,
both ministers, and both-at any rate,
he was very devoted to his uncle, and
Carol grew up very, very fast, and
smiled great deal, but laughed much
less frequently than in other days.
There was shy sweetness about her
that made her father watch her anx-
iously.

day, turning suddenly TO his sIster-in-
law.
She smiled curiously. "N-no, think
not. Why?"
she seems very-sweet."
Yes. She feels very-sweet," was
the enigmatic response. And Mr.. Starr
muttered something about women and
geometry and went away, shaking his
head. And aunt Grace smiled again.
But the months passed away. Lark,
not too absorbed in her own happiness
to find room for her twins affairs, at
last grew troubled. She and Aunt
Grace often held little conferences to-
eether when Carol was safely out of
the way.

and hate to intrude, but you must write
one little postal card to apologize for
| your error. and I'll understand how hard
you are working when you do not write
again.
Hastily but always sincerely.
CAROL.
Carol jumped up and caught up her
hat and rushed all the way downtown
to the postoffice to get that letter
started for Danville, Illinois, where the
Rev. Mr.. Duke was located. Her face
was so radiant, and her eyes were so
heavenly blue, and so sparkling bright
that people on the street turned to
look after her admiringly.
She was feverishly impatient until
the answer arrived, and was not at all
surprised that it came under special
delivery stamp, though Lark lifted her
eyebrows quizzically and Aunt Grace
smiled suggestively, and her father
looked up with sudden questioning in
his face. Carol made no comment, only
ran up to her room and locked the door
once more.
Carol, you awful little scamp, you did
that on purpose, and you know it. You
never mentioned Larks name. Well, If
you wanted to give me the scare of my
life, you succeeded. OF course, l don't
| want to lose my little chum, and knew
very well that no man in his proper

playing such a trick on me. I can just see
you crouch down and gggle when you
read this. You wait, my lady. My turn
is coming. I think I'll run down to
Mount Mack next week to see my uncle
he's not very well. Don't have any dates.
Sincerely, d. d.
And Carol laughed again, and wiped
her eyes.

elderly uncle in Mount Mark was a
