 Then again such numbers as Light Housekeeping" with Hale Norcross and company; Grindell and Esters in an artistic offering of song and hu- nor; the Wood Sisters in their de- lightful diversion of song and dance and many other pleasing features should add "heaps" to the worth of the bill in general.

WOOD SHIPS TO
 HELP RAILROADS

Washington, July 10-Wooden ships, as fast as they can be turned out by the Shipping Board and sup piled with engines and boilers, are to be placed in the coastwise trade to relieve the railroads. Negotia- tions are now under way between the Railroad Administration and the Shipping Board for the hauling of coal and cotton and other bulk com modities, leaving the railroads to ar range their hauling according. By winter time 1t is expected that not | less than 200 wooden ships will be engaged in the coast trade, and the relief to the railroads will be propor- tionate.
 It is also probable that, if a decision | is reached to help Russia economical | ly, there will be a considerable ln- crease in the use of wooden ships on the Pacific, where they can be pro- duced rapidly and used in safety. The problem in connection with an aug mentation of the wooden-ship fleet Is principally one of engines and boil | CTS. Within short time this prob | lem will be solved for production at the present rate, but it will not be solved for the increase in ship launch ings, which is expected to come from new ways and increased efficiency. | Wooden-ship builders are now confi- dent that they can turn out wooden hulls at the rate of one every three months, instead of one every six months, as originally scheduled. On top of this are the immense possibili- ties involved in concrete ship produc- tion, in which the question of propul- sion is still further complicated be- cause of the rapidity of construction.
 In any event, should relief for Rus sia be decided upon on a large scale the shipping will come largely from wooden ships built in the United States and from Japan which, with the exception of 15O, 900 tons of steel ships turned over to the United States in return for fabricating steel, has its merchant fleet at the service of the Allies in the Pacific.
 Until Russian railways are better able to car for the sea commerce
 however, and to move the mass ot
 material already assembled at Kola Archangel and Vladivostok, the ship
 ping demands on the Picific will, it is
 believed, not be too heavy to meet
 Already the programme of the
 Shipping Board has advanced fal enough to permit departure iron the emergency nature of the demand upon it and to advance into the fielC of construction for permanent com merce. Within year, ships of 12- . 900 tons burden, designed for ser , vice as transports, but capable o1 being transferred into the foreig1 passenger carrying traffic, will begin z to slide down the ways. All told [ nearly 100 of these great vessels art
 to be constructed for the permanen l after-the-war trade.

WOMEN NEEDED TO DO MENDING
 FOR SOLDIERS

New York, July 1O-Mending for scale yesterday at Red Cross Auxiliary No. 229 Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue, upon the arrival of 4,00O ar ticles of soldier apparel from Camp Mills. The doughboys who wore them are now in France fitted out with the new suits that they got at the port of embarkation. The con- servation and reclamation station opened yesterday proposes to repair the cast off clothing and turn it back for use.
 A volunteer force of 100 women was on hand for the initial job, and several children sewed on buttons and helped generally. The women sat at long table and sewed religiously all day. The mending basket consisted | of long shelf that reached the length of the room. It was piled high. Six other stations are soon to be opened and the present station will be known as Reclamation No. 1. Mrs. Henry Ittleson is in charge. Camp Upton had clothing repair shop, and this is the second. | the work, appealed to women gen. orally to volunteer for mending. There are 750,0Q0 garments that need at tention, she said. we need all the women we can get" Mrs. Sake said '"This is practically an untouched field and women who want to dc war work and are unskilled in othel lines can be utilized here to advan tage. It is an admirable opportunit! for college women who are free dur ing the vacation and who have no allied themselves with other organiza tions.
 Even school children can be used A woman need not be a skilled nee dleworker to do this work. Any on who Is accustomed to doing the fam fly mending is eligible"

EMPIRE

Dorothy Dalton, the beautiful and accomplished young star, will appear in a mystery play, The Kaiser's Shadow" at the Empire theatre to- day and tomorrow. It is production that, because of iSe> timeliness and the genuinely thrilling plot, is certain to appeal to every variety of au- dience.
 Miss Dalton in the role of a French secret service operative has part that. fits her personality, as well as her histrionic qualities, to a marked degree. She is ably supported by Thurston Hall, Edward Cecil, Leota Lorraine, Otto Hoffman and Charles French.
 The story was originally written for the All Story Weekly by Octavus Ray Cohen and J. U. Giesy as a serial under the name of "The Triple Cross" As a screen offering, direct ed by R. William Neil, under MT. Ince's supervision, it gains weight and interest, depicting the manner In which the plans for a secret ray rife" are stolen. hidden and finally recovered, after many remarkable and exciting adventures.
 It would be unfair to those who have not seeh the picture to expose the final solution of the puzzle. The story has all the clements of first class mystery-trap Godrs, secret panels and the like. The denoue- ment is effective and surprising. The machinations of German plotters are exposed cleverly and the picture car be honestly recommended as most pleasurable entertainment.
