BUILD FABRICATED VESSELS"
Component Parts Of British Ships
Made Inland and Assembled on
Coast.

London.-"Fabricate vessels are
one of the latest and most interesting
developments Of Great Britain's ship
building drive. A fabricated ship Is
one whose component parts are manu-
factured in other than shipbuilding
yards, usually in plants inland. The
new fabricated ship is larger than
most Of the standard ships and there
is not a curved frame in 1t.
In fabrication Of ships the aim was
to increase speed Of production and
also to utilize for shipbuilding pur-
poses such plants as bridge-building
yards and land engine factories.
1t is expected that ships Of the new
type soon will materially increase the
tonnage output.

and Lieut.. v. A. G. Crutchley were
still within. Commander Godsal was
close to the tower outside. Lieut.. AL
leyne was stunned by the shock.
Lieut.. Crutchley shouted through the
slit to the commander, and receiving
no answer, rang for the port engine
full speed astern, to help the swinging
ship. By this time she was lying at
an angle Of about 40 degrees to the
pier and seemed to be hard fast; so, it
was impossible to bring her farther
around.
after working the engines some
minutes to no effect, Lieutenant
Crutchley gave the order to clear the
engine room and abandon ship, accord
ing to the program previously laid
down.

William A. Bury, who was the last to
leave the engine room, blew the main
charges by switch installed aft. Lieu

charges in the forward six-inch maga-
zine from the coming tower.

Counterfeiter Shortage
Another Result of War

Washington. - The war has
caused a shortage even of coun-
terfeiters.
The spurious ten-dollar note,
the fashioning Of which was the
favorite indoor sport Of group
of skilled imitators, has prac-
tically disappeared, it was said
by secret service operatives, who
are inclined to the belief that
the slump is directly due to the
war. 1t was thought that the
foreign members of these bands
had been rounded up in the
mobilization of reservists, and
that the Americans had been
taken in the draft. However,
secret service operatives are not
resting on their oars. On the
contrary, recognizing the possi-
bility Of new talent appearing
almost at any time, they are
continuing to subject the na-
tons paper currency to the
closest scrutiny.

Among the Chinese there has exist
ed for ages passion for fireworks and
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal, as soon
as night comes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles Of the
pagoda; they form the fiery crown of
every shop front; they cluster round
the houses of the rich and light up
the novels of the poor; they are borne
with the carriage of the traveller, and
they swing from the yards and masts

First Springs Used on RAILWAYS.

The first record of the use of springs
on railways is George Stephenson's
patent of September, 1915. The first
locomotive with steel springs was the
Agenoria, built by Foster and Rastrick
in 1920, and now in South Kensington
museum, London. This had laminated
springs on the leading wheels.

INTERPRETS new
SUGAR RULING

There seems to be some confusion
relative TO the sugar permits for fruit
preserving purposes, that have been
distributed to grocerymen throughout
Wayne county, Harry Gilbert, Wayne
county food administrator, said Mon
day:
The consumer, in filing out and
signing a permit, agrees to return any
surplus amount of sugar not used. It
Is this fact that Is causing the cenfu-
sion, aeeoding to Gilbert.
THE correct Interpretation Of this
card Is that when the consumer makes
a requisitien for a certain number of
pounds of sugar to preserve straw
berries, when that particular kind of
fruit has been canned the consumer
Is to return all of the excess sugar he
or she may have on hand" Gilbert ex-
planned. THE acquisitions are made
out fer only one particular kind of
fruit.
Then when another kind of fruit is
ready for canning, the consumer must
make another requisition for suffi-
cfent amount Of sugar to put up that
class of fruit
Therefore 1t viii be necessary for
the consumer not to make requusition
for any more sugar than they will
need for the particular kind of fruit
they are going to can, as it will only
have to be returned to the dealer
The food administrators interpre-
tation OF the federal law makes It
clear that If consumer buys sugar
with a permit for the purpose of can
ming a certain kind of fruit, and then
uses any of that sugar to can any
other kind of fruit. the law is being
violated.

FARMERS READY TO SOLVE
FOOD PRODUCTION PROBLEM

Emphasizing the fact that food pro-
duction necessary to win the war is
essentially the work of the farmer In
this country, NJ. G. Burritt, vice direc-
tor of extension OF the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca, has
called attention to the fact that the
farmers of New York are facing the
most difficult problems since the Civil
War. He added, however, that they
are fully capable of solving these prob
lens, saying: "They have not failed in
the past. They will not fail now. The
handling Of their job, however, de-
mands long hours of hard work, good
deal of surplus mOney-more than ever
before-with which to purchase seeds,
feeds, fertilizers and other materials
necessary to production. This Is the
time of year in which these expendi-
lures are being made. They will to
certain extent compete with the Lib
erty Loan for the farmers money.
"If | know the character and the
temper of our farmers-and l have
lived all my life with and among them
there is no question about their put
ting every dollar that they can spare
or raise personally into the next Lib.
erty Loan. hope they will not do
This to the detFiment of production,
as believe this is their first and most
important duty, but you may be sure
that they will do their utmost.

farmers in the floating of the next

ization. | know that the men whose
cooperation has been solicited will
be equal to the responsibility which is
being placed upon them. / have the
greatest confidence in the ability of
farmers to meet the demands of the

RED CROSS Drive
FOR S100,l100,00O.
TO START MAY 20
All Chapters to Participate in
Big Nationwide Campaign
Lasting One Week.

The second $100,000,O00 War Fund
campaign of the American Red Cross
will begin on May 20 and continue
announcement made by G. M. Dahl,
chairman of the War Fund Committee
for the Atlantic Division of the Red
Cross This announcement followed
the receipt of a telegram from the
War Council of the Red Cross.
The big Red Cross campaign was
originally set for May 6 to 10, but on
account of possible interference with
the Liberty Loan drive 1t was decided
that the later date would more effec-
lively serve the interest of the Red
Cross and the Liberty Loan Commit
tees
The campaign will be nationwide
with each of the thirteen Division
Headquarters and all Red Cross Chap
tiers participating. Arrangements for
the campaign in the Atlantic Division,
which embraces the States eof New
York. New Jersey and Connecticut, are
being made under the direction of Mr..
Dahl, who is Vice-President of the
Chase National Bank of New York City.
$77,721,91s Already Appropriated.
Through the action of the War Coun-
Gil the campaign for the second $780,
100000 War Fund will start approx
mately eleven months after the first
$100000,000 War Fund Drive The first
campaign was launched June IS, five
weeks after President Wilson appoint
cd the War Council, headed by Henry
=. Dawson. At the outset of its activ-
tiles the War Council saw the need of
huge war fund, not only to uphold
the morale and conserve the strength
of our Army and Navy, but also to
care for the helpless civilian sufferers
in Europe.
The public Immediately responded to
the appeal, subscribing more than
S100,000000. Interest added to~ the
contributions brought the total fund to
$1O5, 099, 257.
OF this amount $77,721, 91S has been
appropriated for Red Cross activities
at home and abroad. In addition, ST.
006, 121 was refunded to chapters for
supplies and local relief work, leaving
remainder of $10,371 ,217 now availa-
hle for appropriations. For the benefit
Of France alone the American Red
Cross has expended more than $780,
100000.
AT the time of its first war fund
campaign the membership of the Red
Gross was a little more than 100000.

new USE FOR
HONOR FLAG
Community Getting More Than Its
Quota in Third Liberty Loan
Campaign Will Receive
Banner.

News from Washington that the
treasury department has decided upon
the use of an honor flag and an honor
roll system In the Third Liberty Loan
Campaign has been welcomed by the
many selling agents throughout the
Second Federal Reserve District,
which Includes all of New York state,
the - northern counties Of New Jersey
and Fairfield county, Conn.
1t is expected that tremendous rival
ry will result among the various com
mfttees to win the honor flags. The
flag itself is SO inches wide and 81
inches long and will have red border
and a white center, across which will
run three vertical blue stripes, indica-
tive of the Third Liberty Loan. AS
soon as the honor flag system was de-
eided upon arrangements were made
to manufacture them and distribute
them among the various local Liberty
Loan Committees. After the close of
the bond selling campaign state and
national honor flags will be raised. An
honor flag will be awarded to each
community that sells more than it's
quota of bonds star for the flag
will be awarded to community which
doubles it's quota.
experimenting the flag as part of
the system will be an honor roll for
listing the names of subscribers by
committees and trades. The honor
roll viii consist of a card bearing a
large eQlored reproduction of the honor
flag and the words Help Our Town
Win the Right to Fly This Flag" A
space is reserved at the bottom of the
honor roll for attaching the names of
subscribers

MISSIONS OF THE AIRPLANE
Fighting and Bombing, Using Both
Small and Fast, and Large and
Powerful Machines Is Purpose.

The tendency in airplanes has
been to run to two extremes-for
fighting, as small and fast as pos
sible; and for bombing, as large and
powerful as possible, says Scribner's.
In a three-seater one passenger sits
out in front mounted in a machine
gun turret. The pilot comes next,
Immediately behind the motor, while
the second passenger sits behind him
mounted in another machine-gun
turret. This airplane is capable of
carrying many hundred pounds Of
explosives and, being very fast and
heavily armed, generally accom-
plishes its mission.
The German "Albatross" is capa-
BILE of horizontal speed of 300 kilo-
meters (about 1877 miles) an hour.
1t is single scatter and carries three
machine guns, which, being con-
trolled by the motor, shoot auto
matically and simultaneously
through the propeller. The sight Of
these weapons converges at approx
mately fifty yards in front of the air
plane, making the chance of hitting
the opponent three times as sure.
The motor is equipped with an cleo
trio self-starter. 1t has also cleo
trical devices for keeping the water
warm in the radiator while flying at
great heights. The wing surface is
less than twenty square yards.
