Don't neglect a lame or aching back

NEW U. S. NAVAL ESTABLISH
MENTS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 31-For
many years there have been few addi-
lions to the number of navy yards and
stations in the United States. but the
war has made necessary 4 consider
able increase in our facilities for con-
Quoting naval operations.
The naval aircraft factory at Phia-
delphia, Pa, and the naval operating
base at Hampton Roads, Va. have re-
Gently been completed and are now in
full commission. In course of prep
aration are a naval training station
at Gulfport, Miss, and subna aEine bas-
es at NewII ondon, Conn. and San
Pedro, Calf 1t will be noted that these
two submarine bases are SO situated
as to add to the defenses of both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Located
close to supplies of steel and coal is
the projectile plant at Charleston, w.
Va, which is expected to be in opera
ton soon after January LIST. The
buildings erected for the exposition at
San Diego. Cali. are serving further
use as training station for the navy,
and thousands of Uncle Sans recruits
are being made into sea fighters with
these artistic structures as a base.
The whole navy yard service. is
of course, humming with activity.
There is shortage Of labor, however.
in certain lines and ship construction
and other work is suffering in con-
sequence. Anglesmiths. blacksmiths,
boatbuilders, canvasworke-s, copper
smiths, drillers, fabric workers. frame
benders, machinists, power sewing ma
chine operators, (women), sailmakers,
ship craftsmen. shipfitters shipsmiths,
subinspectOrs of ordnance, and other
mechanics and technical men are bad
ly needed. The United States civil SER
vice commission is urging, as a pa
tpiotic duty, that persons trained in
these lines offer their services to the
government at this time of great need.
