SHIPBU|LD|NG
 IS REVIVED IN
 PORT JEFFERSON
Town Once Famous For Big
 Vessels From Its Yards . Again Huns.

Shipbuilding, the industry which made Port Jefferson, Long Island, famous, but which was almost aban- doned there a number of years ago owing to the difficulty of getting the lumber, is now being revived there as war industry, although the kind of ships being built has been changed. This is due to the war and the need of new vessels to replace those sunk by the Hun submarines. Port Jeffer- son is doing it's full share in this shipbuilding work.
 New shipyards have been establish ed there, and new ways added to yards long disused, and something of the old time hustle and hum of industry, long lacking, may be noticed. Reels for a number of ships have been laid, and work is well advanced on some.
 In other years Port Jefferson was one of the most noted shipbuilding places on the Eastern coast, and many fine vessels have been launched in the waters of its harbor. None has been built there for a number of years, that is no large vessels, and perhaps the last big ship to be turned off the ways was the Martha Wallace, launched more than a dozen years ago. This ship was largely owned by Bridgeport people.
 This revival of the shipbui1ding in dustry has given and added interest to the matinee excursion trips of the Steamer Park City, and many Bridge port people now make the trip at least once a week, and some oftener. There is much of interest to be seen after a delightful sail of an hour and a half, The new shipyards are in full view of the boat landing, the work of the busy shpiwrights may be watched from a little distance, and the traffic in the sound and the harbor brought on by war conditions is also intensely interesting. A stay of an hour and a half before the return trip of the boat gives time for visiting, for lunch on shore if it is desired, and a general sightseeing trip.
 The Park City is one of the staunch- est vessels on the sound, commanded by Capt. c. B. Tooker, a veteran navi- gator who rarely misses trip even in the stormiest winter weather, and is comfortable and well fitted for an afternoon of pleasure. Leaving Bridgeport at 1880 o'clock it reaches Port Jefferson at o'clock, and leaves for the return trip at 4:30, arriving in Bridgeport at six, in time for din- ner. Particularly attention is paid to the comfort of passengers, and these trips every afternoon make a most de- lightful little outing which people of the city are taking advantage of in ever increasing numbers.

SMART HOSIERY,

A year or two ago some women started the "hosette" fad. Hosettes are really socks. They are made up in bright and vivid colors to match the gay creations the soldiers have discarded for their more practical army and navy wear. Scarlet hosettes with white rings around are worn with white shoes-if one likes the Scotch knee. There are endless de- signs to choose from.
 Some excellent woollen hose for sports wear have heen brought out They are ribbed and woven of heavy white wool and studded thickly with brown dots of the exact shade of the brown of the sports shoe. Sports shoes, by the way. preferably white, have a saddle of brown or black leather across the instep and toe and heel trimmings of the colored perfor- ated leather. These stockings are for wear with these shoes.
 Some good silk hose, extremely thick and well made, have ribs of white and blue or purple and white and are handsome and serviceabIe. For very dressy wear there are ex- quisite silken stockings, with insets of cobweb lace reaching half way to knee and over the instep and ankle.

POMERENE MEASURE
CAN'T FIND A PLACE
Anti-Profiteering Rent Bill Reject
ed as Rider by House.

Because the House Committee on
Agriculture cannot see the connection
between the production of food and
the rent situation in the District of
Columbia, the effort Of the Senate to
have the Pomerence Anti-profiteering
rent bill attached as a rider to the
food production bill is doomed to
failure.
Furthermore, the House committee
Is ,averse to having any riders at all
to the bill, let alone having a sub
ject introduced which they have not
time to investigate, especially one
they think is in no way related to
food.
There were indications yesterday
In the House that the Pomerene bill,
which Representative Ben Johnson so
roundly scored as inadequate, is going
to have bard shedding If its author
insists on having it pass the House
as rider on any bill.
