Philadelphia. Sept. o5-Shipbuilding

for second time in American history. a

natural advantages of the Delaware

In this district are employed more

Wilmington, in Delaware, homes, bach

houses and even a hotel have been
erected with the hope of solving the
problem OF inadequate labor growins;
out Of poor accommodations.
How the yards on the Delaware have
expanded in the past eleven months
and what this influx Of labor means to
the communities along the river is In
dictated by comparison with the CEN
sus of last October, when the aggregate
Of men engaged was less than $4,000.
Excluding Camps and the New York
Shipbuilding Corporation. which were
then working as completed yards, the
nine other plants on the Delaware then
reported 10000 workers.
More than half the present force Of
shipbuilders has been recruited from
outside the district, so that the popula-
ton growth from this source alone has
been double that OF any normal year.

Philadelphia and beyond the confines

I am aware, been accomplished in any

About Chronic catarrh.

Chronic catarrh results from a neg

colds, that is, before you are over one
cold you contract another. The In

chronic. When the cold is properly
treated and promptly cured there is no
further trouble Parents often neglect

Drunkenness Shows
Big Decrease Under
War Regulations

Correspondence Associated press.l
London, Sept. 1O.-Drunkenness anu
ieaths from alcoholism in the United
Kingdom show decline ranging from
s5{to' so per cent since the war regu-
lations against drinking were lnsu-
tuted by the government three years
ago, according to Lord DAbernon.
chairman of the liquor control board.
Abolition OF the custom of treat
ing" and drinking on an empty stom-
ach and the virtual extinction Of the
saloon loafer were the main factors
contributing to the growing tendency
to national temperance, Lord DAber-
non told the Associated Press.
THE lines on which we have pro-
ceeded," ne continued" are to large
extent novel and they have succeeded
beyond expectation. Nor is there any
evidence Of growth of the drug habit,
which is usually one OF the conse-
quences Of too drastic interference
with facilities for obtaining liquor.
This happy absence of undesirable
features l attribute to the fact that,
while facilities have been greatly cur
tailed-the liquor shops being open five
and one half hours daily compared
with eighteen or nineteen before the
War-our arrangement Of two periods,
one at midday and the other in the
evening, has been found sufficient by
those who desire reasonable refresh
ment and nothing. more. and those are
OF course the vast majority Of drink
ers. We are not out to interfere with
them. It is the loafer and soaker, who
would drink IL he could from dawn to
dusk, who interferes with national ef-
ficiency and whom we are out to stop.
/ think we have succeeded in that.
Drinking on an empty stomach, he
remarked. was one cause, Of intoxica-
stion which the hours fixed for the sale
OF liquor tend to check. Those hours
are from noon to 2:30 and from $3.50 to
$3.50 in the evenings. Most drinks con-
sequently are taken with meals.
On charts illustrating the temper
ance advance in England and Wales,
Lord D'Abernon traced the decline of
ills incident to alcoholism. The de-
lirium tremens and alcohol mortality
figures" he said, "are Of special I'm
portance as showing that there can not
have been any diversion Of excessive
drinking from the public house to the
home.
He thought t...: ;ss:: enc abolition Of
treating had also contributed largely to
the gain in temperance. This meas
ure,", he said. had as its objective the
elimination Of the custom whereby
groups OF workers after receiving their
weeks wages, spent a considerable
part oft in standing their corners.
until each member Of the party
had in turn paid for drinks all round
to the detriment both Of their working
efficiency and Of the happiness of their
wives and families. The wonderful
sobriety OF the army and navy Is due
In no small degree to the restrictions

Sept 4.-"Deceive the enemy by false

This sentence is from the latest Ger

article being dated at army headquar-

wagons are lined up one beside the

In broken country seek the protec-

rule: when surprised by airplanes
