CHARLES NJ. SCHWAB says that
\ the launching of the Tuckahoe
last Sunday was the hardest
blow that has been struck at the Ger
man Kaiser in many months.
Few events in these months crowded
Iull of events have so thrilled the
American people.
There isn't single shipyard in
america that has not been overwhelmed
oy the news of the launching of great
Steel ship in twenty-seven days.
The thing seems incredible. 1t is SO
lar separated from the nearest rival
mat it is in class by itself. There is
nothing to compare it with.
There were no predictions, no prelim-
mary "Creeling," no premature boast
ing. At first it was thought that the
aunching would be on Wednesday.

mat three days would be chopped off

The Tuckahoe was built in less than

company without retarding other

uemendious exertion and without any

The awakening and speed up" have
not come a moment too soon. England
two years ago this June recognized
what it was up against. To quicken
its youth to wars depletion of the art
artisan population it launched an arts
and crafts exhibition. For the British
Government tardily recalled that fif-
teen years previous Germany had sent
large numbers of students to England
to assimilate English arts and crafts.
Returned to the Fatherland, they were
employed in the haiser's art and tech
nical schools to impart what they had
learned to pupils whose attendance
was compulsory.
Four months after the battle of the

industrial training to its children, SO

The work on this ship was laid out
by days. Such things were to be done
on such days. The gangs had def
mite schedule to work by. They knew
definitely whether they were doing
their part on time or not. Knowing
just what was required of them at and
in a given time, they could plan the
appropriate disposition of their own
efforts.
Then the material was laid out in
order. No time was lost looking for
or waiting for parts.

The Tuckahoe achievement is espe-
cially valuable as an object lesson be-
cause there was nothing artificial
about the method of construction.
Nothing was skimped to make speed.
Things were not left half done, to be
finished when the boat had been
launched. On the contrary, not only
was all work done we'll and thoroughly
but considerable part of the work
that is ordinarily left for the Quitting

Few silk or ribbon houses on Fourth
or Madison avenue are without de-
signers employed to originate or put
original designs, purchased from "free
lances," into workable shape for the
looms.
Screened from buyer or public, their
presence is little suspected. War con-
tinues to precipitate women to the fore
in textile and costume design. How
they are meeting the situation is des-
tined to make stimulating chapter
in the history Of our industrial art
renaissance, or rather naissanee.
One gifted woman designer, discov-
contest, is now in the employ of
leading silk house. More artist than
artisan, she found association with
fellow workers under clock surveillance
an inspiration killer. Conscious that
she was turning out poor work, she
pleaded to be released.
"Work in your studio" said her en-

Stage Contributes
to Costume Art
Unlike the French stage, Americas
ante-bellum theatrical stars have con-
tributed little or nothing original or
distinctive to fabric or costume art in
dustry. 1t remained for Leonore Ulrich
unwittingly to exploit to manufacturer
and designers profit a "Made in
U. S. A." gown. Edna Hartman, a
young art craftsman Of local training,
originated and executed in silk batik
the shimmering red gown worn by
silk chiffon in her own dye pots Miss
Hartman worked out her design. It's

| technician of a progressive silk house.
He learned how the actress secured
the fabric and bought the design from
Miss Hartman for $3.50. Before thes
design was ready for printing on in
destructible wolfe to meet success in
the market the silk house expended
close to 100000 in developing it. One

labored month in color and printing
experiments before the design was
ready for the machine.
Unique in the industrial art awaken
ing is the Monthly Journal of the
American National Museum of Arts
publication of timely fashion article,
illustrated in color. 1t is significant
that the modern costumes reproduced,
inspired by the museums primitive
documents, are largely the work of
women designers and were executed
by local manufacturers, wholesale and
retail, and are being exploited to-day
by leading merchants throughout the
country.

take correspondingly long time for
completion. 1t is estimated that it
will take only ten days to make the
Tuckahoe ready for sea.
When the triumph of the Tuckahoe
is pointed out to shipbuilding gangs
elsewhere it will be impossible for
them to say that there is about as
much analogy between her and other
building ships as between an ordinary,
everyday, pay-its-way farm and an ex-
detrimental college demonstration plot.

The American-born children of these
artisans were loath long before the
wars outbreak to undergo the rigorous
apprenticeship that made their fore

war, our factories and mills would

continue to import designers and art

native resources, to the native talent
lying fallow or going to seed for want

 The Republican state convention which was held here a few weeks ago received much attention from the vice president, who declared that it had gone too far in it's statements, MT. Marshall said:
 "Just what the Republican party means by saying that its purpose is to win the war now most of us do not understand. What the Democratic party stands for is to win the war as soon as 1t can be won and holds that to the speedy winning of it there are these essentials: Conviction of the justice of cause in which we are engaged; a fixed and definite end to be attained; the whole-hearted, disin- terested, political and patriotic sacri- flee of personal ambition; party pref erence and individual success to the object attained and confidence, abso- llte confidence in the commander in chief"

Pine Bluffs Piggly Wiggly grocery store, at 408 Main street, will be open for business today. Page advertise ments in the newspapers announce the opening and promise carnation to every visitor to the store today.
 Piggly Wiggly stores are unique in the distribution of foods and gro- ceries to the consumer. There are no clerks. The goods are marked with the price. The purchaser enters at one gate, goes Up and down the four alsles, makes his or her selection. and then pays the cashier a he or she leaves the store.
 There is no delivery and no charge. but the management claims that the system makes big saving in cost of operation and therefore the goods can be sold cheaper than the ordinary grocery store.

JUNE COX ALIVE
 AND IN TEXARkANA
Identity of Headless Body Now Greater Mystery Than
 Ever.

: Texarkana, June 19-Mrs. Henri : etta Edwards, better known as June Cox", is yet alive. The theory that the headless body found 10 days ago in the Bassett pasture, three mics north of here, was hers was dlssl' pated when "June Cax", very much alive and in charge of Sheriff Jlm Baker, arrived here at 3 o'clock this morning from Chicago. Among those waiting at the station was her motn- CT, Mrs. w. A. Odom of Shreveport, evidently surprise to the daughter: Her mother made rush for the girl and folded her in her arms desplte the efforts of the daughter to prevent. She declared she never would re- turn home. ' June Cox was kept under guard at a hotel following her arrival un1li after breakfast this morning when the sheriff took her to Boston to appear before the grand jury in session there. She is regarded as highly important witness for the state against several alleged bootleggers, burglars and oth- CTS.
 Relatives of some of the accused men are said to have made persistent efforts to see her this morning, but their requests were denied by the sheriff. It is said the woman has promised to expose a great deal Of lawlessness which has been enacted under cover by organized ringsters within the last two years. The report of the grand jury, which is looked for tomorrow is anxiously awaited.
 As to the identity of the headless body the authorities are now more at sea than ever. It is said, however, that the officers will redouble their efforts to unravel the mystery. While there is nothing tangible no" to work from the officers are determined to unravel this, the greatest mystery in the criminal annals of this section.
