SO much tonnage put to fuller use.
But, when all this has been said.
there remains the final question:
what new tonnage is being built?
Before the war the capacity of
British yards was about 1000, 900
tons annually, while your yards could
do 100000 tons. In 1917 we turned
out only half our normal tonnage
just over a million-while you dou-
bled yours, your output being just
under million. Between US we did
100000 tons gross, or, roughly.
one-third Of the mine and submarine
losses during that complete year.
With due respect to the critics it
was not I. small achievement for
your nation thus to double it's ship
construction. And this year you
ought to double it again. l should be
greatly surprised if the United
States does net turn out over 2,0OO,-

A needle specially designed for paper
weaving can be obtained at small ex-

For sewing, cut out a piece Of card,

draw 3 circle on it within an inch or

be punched around the circle about an
inch apart. A shoelace is the best ma

the little hands acquire some skill,
yarn and blunt-pointed kindergarten
needles can be used, smaller holes
punched, and the outline varied to the
square or obiong. Holes should be
punched in these every inch, both
across and up and down, and may be
sewed along the vertical lines, the
horizontal lines, and diagonally. Sim
Die pictures may also be outlined for
sewing With some of the cards the
child should be allowed to sew what

Different colored yarns should be
used for each card to hold the child's
attention.

unrestricted warfare during 1917.
But French, Italian and neutral tom
mage is not included, and we must
reckon that the whole wastage, from
all causes, amounts to three large
ships daily, each ship of an average
5000 gross tons or $500 lightweight
tons. On this basis the million tons
Of Dutch shipping brought into the

600 tons during 1918. If she man.
ages this she will have risen within
two years to the standard Of the
United Kingdom, which has been
hitherto the chief shipbuilder of the
world, and she will have done this
during a period of exceptional naval
expansion.
A larger figure than the above
100000 tons has been mentioned.
To be candid, I do not quite know
what tina estimate of 100000
American tons covers. Is it to be
dead weight tons? If so, that would
be about 100000 gross, or British,
tons. as ordinarily reckoned. And is
it to be 100000 such tons by the
end Of 1918 or 100000 tons within
1918? Does the figure include the
output for 1917 or is it limited to
output within 1918? cannot say.
But it is obvious that if your coun-
try turns out as much as 100000
tons by next Christmas, or even B.
100000, it will have done great
things.

Yesterday when I was promenading

introduced himself, expressed his per-

operation in the war, and forcibly led
me to the Capitol, where he had the
picture gallery opened, after hours, 50

Constant, Henri Martin, Jean-Paul
Laurens, ETC., good Toulousians as well
as good painters, and its sculpture by
Citizen Falguiere and other regionaux.
The old gentleman insisted on himself
doing the tipping of the custodian-"I
am host, monsieur" he explained with
gravity "and the privilege of showing
the art treasures of Toulouse to Bel
gian, British, and Serb officers has been
a very real pleasure to me since the

and knew it not just for its architect
ure, it's paintings, its Conservatory of
Music, its university (whose public
lecture the many renters OF the city
loved to attend), but also for its res
taurants and cafes.
The Cafe des Americans and the
other principal cafes Of the grand
boulevards of this southern capital had
this not inconside distinction:
they had deeper sidewalk terrasses than
any Paris could show
Nowadays, the terrasscs are as be-
