NOANk YARD IN SHIPPING REVIVAL


 New York and Noank., the worlds metropolis and Connecticut hamlet, are building ships for the American merchant marine. Their methods of tackling the job are as unlike as the two communities. New York's ship construction activities are centered at Shooters Island, in the lower bay, where 7,500-to steel freighters are erected at plant created out of the stress of war and equipped with me- chanical devices of the last word in Tnoderrity
 At Noank, in yard made famous by Deacon Robert Palmer 50 years ago, wooden hulls are being built by artisans who have more use for the adze and the cauIking mallet than for forges and cranes.
 Nearly, all the shipyards on the North Atlantic coast have come into being since the American declaration of war. Many are temporary, to be scrapped when peace is proclaimed. But where the Mystic river flows into Long Island sound, at Noank, Deacon Palmer built yachts, schooners, barges and lighters for half century. Around the plant grew up a community of ship carpenters, whose sons became ship carpenters, and the second and third generations of these Yankee crafts

men, readily adapting their calling to the needs of the nation in. war time are turning out $500 ton freighters of the Ferris type generally built in the emergency fleet corporation's wooden yards.
 New York, the nations greatest port thronged with the picturesque shipping of world at war. is: a powerful factor in the emergency fleet program, yet it's largest wards are in the territory of New Jersey Within the Empire State is single group of ship production plants, on Staten Island and it's tiny nesSnbor, Shooters Island, in addition to yards at Newburg on the Hudson. Port Jefferson on Long Island sound and Buffalo at Lake Erie.
 Along with several of the oldest Connecticut has one of the newest yards in the east at Groton. The Groton Iron works, controlled with the wooden shipways at Noank, by the Charles ". Morse interests. has built thoroughly modern and. permanent plant, where steel vessels of 5000 and S.400 tons are being constructed. Six ways are served by a force of 2.S0O men, to be increased soon to 5000, and the first launching will be held in Oc- tober. When. the plant is completed late this fall ships ready to sail will be erected at the rate of 1s a year.

ALL WOMEN LOVE FURs-
 BEAUTIFUL THIS SEASON
Now buy furs!

Now buy furs!
 The weather is certainly seasona ble, the stocks offered by the deal- CTS are at their best, and prices are more favorable now than they are likely to be at any time until the end of the war
 In fact every days delay may mean an advance in prices. This is indicated by the statement of a local merchant Monday that his fine assortment of furis, bought last March, would cost him s per cent more at wholesale if purchased today.
 This assertion sounds reasonable. for, as is well known, pelts are grow ing scarcer and scarcer. I. is no long CT merely question of competing with the European market tbut of supplying the ever-increasing demand at home
 Much of this demand is real in
 dex of national prosperity. Employed
 Women and girls are receiving wages which would have been almost unbe-
 lieVable a, few years ago Every woman's intuition leads her to admire and crave fine furs. These women HOW have the means to purchase such comfortable and haidsome adjuncts to 1 the winter toilette and they are quick
 to gratify their tastes in this direction, realizing that any fur of fine pelt is as good an investment as is a dia- rnord.
 This season the fur coat makes a
 l'ig bid for favor, especially so with rke memory Of last winters severe rold stili in mind. The most fash l ion1ble pelts are raccoon and musk rat and some of the latter. made of selected skins. are especially beauti- full
 The ra-stylish coat is of Hud- son seal. selling this season at from $500 10 $4o0.
 The belt is q distinctive feature of i the smart new coat, while borders are i very much liked The popular length 1 is 45 inches. An idea of the sea sons value Of choice furs may be gain ed from the fact that genuine sea 1 coat 45-incn length, will cost the purchaser this winter from s1 000 to 1 st2o00
 l Designers have put upon the mar 1 '1et some of the most fascinating re 1 suits in fur sets scarfs, and muffs ] the belts for these, in the order ot 1 desira oility being mole the soft l Scotch fur in q rich blue -gray-IynX ! and Alaska sa ole. But these merit a chapter by themselves so will form the topic Of a special notice tomor- row.
 {, Meantime. wise women who intend to buy furs will save money by mak- ! ing their selections at once, acting on i the advice of these dealers who ad- Vertise in The Bulletin this mornin!
