GREATEST WORLD EVER KNEW
U. S. Now Leads All Countries in
Ship Building.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The United
States. with practically not single
way available for the building of
ship when she entered into war with
Germany, has within a year become
the greatest ship-building nation the
world ever knew.
1t was not until Edward N. Hurley
became chairman of the United States
shipping board a few days more than
year ago that the ship-building pro-
gram-which meant first the building
Of shipyards to build the ships-began
to move. From zero in ship-buifding
facilities the United States, within
the II months, has established II
great ship-building districts and 21O
modern shipyards with 325 ways, each
way capable Of producing from three
to FIVE ships of from $500 up to 12,-
900 and more tons annually.

Agree on Text for Bill In
Next Session.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The army gen.
eral staff and the administration will
ask congress to extend the draft age
to include all men between the ages
Of nineteen and forty.
Leading members of the house and
senate military affairs committees
have been Informed that the president
Will favor these limits, and it is likely
that they will be the ones finally de-
c1ded on, although a number of men,
bers would like to see the maximum
age made forty-five instead of forty.
1t Is understood that the army staff
plans for expanding the present forces
OF the United States have all been COM
pleted and approved by President Will

The leaders say that these army
plans will be rushed through without
delay in order to avoid the necessity
OF calling Into action members of the

Present supplies OF men in Class A
are nearing the dangerously low mark

NATION is SHORT
MILLION WORKERS
New Employment Service Gets
Reports on Needs of War
Industry.
IS UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL
Government Now Has CHARGE of Re.
cruiting Of unskiIIed Labor for
War Work-To Work THROUGH
State Boards.

Washington, Aug. "a shortage of
100000 unskilled workers in war In
dustries Is shown in incomplete reports
to the department Of labOr's federal
employment service, which took over
the recruiting of this class of labor for
war industries employing maximum
force of 100 or more persons. Final
reports, it was announced, are ex-
pected to show shortage of 1000 900
workers
War industry was defined in the an
nouncement by the employment service
as the manufacture of products or
erection of structures directly or indi-
rectly supplied to some departments
OF the government for use in connec-
ton with the war;" Coal mining also
was classified as wholly war work."
While they will be protected from
recruiting by other industries, rail-
roads and farms must obtain their un-
skilled labor by other means than
through the federal employment serv-
Ice, the announcement said.
Through the operation Of the system
OF government recruiting, it Is believed
unnecessary movement Of labor from
community to community and from in
dustry to industry will be obviated !;
wasteful labor turnover be largely
eliminated and wages will be stabi
lized.
To Work Through State Boards.
The employment service, Of which
John B. Dcnsmore has been named
director general, will work through
state boards, which in turn will con-
troll labor through community boards.
Machinery of the service has been
modelled largely on the plan Of organ
iZatiOn utilized in administering the
selective act.
AS now effective, government re-
cruiting will apply only to unskilled
labor. Regulations are being made
whereby it will be possible to extend
the system to the recruiting of skilled
labor. All private agencies for the re-
cruiting of labor are prohibited.
The understanding, cooperation and
good will of the American people are
called on to aid in making the system
a success by Secretary Wilson.
Control of the nations telephone and
telegraph systems also is now In the
hands Of the government.
All officers and employees of the
companies, Mr.. BurlesOn directed, will
continue in the performance Of their
present duties on the same terms Of
employment.

Etiquette in Mexico,

Travellers through Mexico report
many peculiar customs which reflect
the temperament of the people. Some
of these are founded upon supersti-
tions hundreds of years old while 9TH
ers date from more recent days. There
is a prevailing belief in the country
that there is bad luck in a sequence
of threes and wherever possible the
combination Of three is avoided This
is shown very often to persons strange
to the land in the lighting of a Gig
arctic.
In the United States one often sees
three men light their pill from one
match. It would be a gross insult
in Mexico to offer man a light from
a match that had already started two
cigarettes going. Instead one must
blow out the match and give him a
light from the ignited coffin nail.

Eroqs That Have Hair,

"Finer than frog hair" has long been
slang method of expressing the su-
perlative degree. Doubtless no one
ever gave it thought whether frogs
have hair or not. Probably no one
ever realized they did until Prof. G.
A. Boulenger discovered in the Ger
man Congo frogs that had growing
upon their bodies either hair or a very
good imitation of it. 1t has since de-
veloped that anatomically it is not
hair, in the sense in which that term
applies to mammals. Our own hair is
akin to finger nails; it is horny
growth, whereas the "hair'' on the
African frogs is an abnormal devel-
Opment of the tubercles that appear
on the skin cf the ordinary frog. The
ordinary person, however, who places
appearance above origin, will doubtless
call IL "hair."

tire Italian Nation.

London, Aug. 2.-Nine American
congressman, who, with, the members
OF the naval committee of the Ameri-
can house Of representatives, make 20
members of congress now in London,
arrived from France and Italy. They
had visited the Americans on the
Marne front, saw the fighting there,
and said that they were prouder than
ever Of America
I'VE knew Of Americas wonderful
effort" said Representative Cassius G.
Dowell Of Des Moines, Ia, "but we did
not realize so much had been DONE It
no longer Is case of the United
States just getting into the war. She
Is in.'
"May Die but Will VIM"
Congressman Dowell said the most
cheering message he got on the Marne
front was from boy who came from
his home town just brought in wound
ed from the fighting zone. He said
smilingly to the congressman:
Tell the folks at home that we may
not all come back, but that we are
winning the war;"
Congressman Dowell added that he
had found the same spirit everywhere.
1T was wonderful" he said. 1--WE
knew what stuff our men were made
of, but we had to visit the battle front
to appreciate what they are doing.
There isn't man in our party who
will return with any other thought but
that this war must not end until Ger
man militarism has been crushed far
all time"
The other congressman in the party
are: John N. Tillman and Thaddeus
81. Caraway Of Arkansas, Burton E.
Sweet Of Waverly, Ia; John A. Elston
of Berkeley. CAL; George NJ. Young
Of Valley City, N. D.; M. Clyde Kelly
of BraddOck, Pa. Louis G. Cramton Of
Lapere, Mich, and David H. Kinche-
loe Of Madisonville, Ky.
Yanks Thrill Italians.
The congressman spent several days
at the front in France and before that
they made their way through Italy.
They said the presence of American
troops in Italy had thrilled the entire
nation, just as did the arrival of the
Americans in France. Everywhere the
Americans go the populace cheer them
and are eager to shake their hands to
show their appreciation and feeling of
comradesh1p.
Several of the Dowell party accom-
panied the naval committee at the
audience with King George at Buck
ingham palace.
