problem OF building them in the
United States divides itself into three
phases--namelv:: labor, matsrial ana

Concrete ships can be built by Ia

las for material nothing is used
that would SLOW UP our war prepara-
tons. Every warehouse in the coun-
try is full of the reinforcing metal
which is available becaUsc there is no
longer any great amount of building.
A further advantage is that scrap
metal can be used which can be rolled
gravel are found where the ship is
built, at the meeting of land and
Mater. Twice as much cement is pro-
duced as can be used.

was the hsppiest moment OF his life
Ii would be impossible 20 have a
happier one. Hazel was the last per
son ne saw. She was holding a hand
kerchief 70 her eyes and waving her
hand. He had not been with her
much since the result OF the contest
had been announced and their good
i've had been a hurried one. but ne
would make up for it when she
joined him in New York.
Alas for his ambitions and
dreams, he did not camera" right
His nose was too long and his eyes
too light. There were many other
defects. and he realized most Of
them himself when he saw his first
attempt screened. He felt sure a

over this in his mind, he thought
how much happier he would have
been if he stayed out OF the contest
and remained salts fed in Wingtown
Hazel and he could have been
married quietly and the little cot
tage on the hill would have made
them as happy as the grandest
bungalow in California or the most
fashionable apartment in New

means of losing Hazel. He could
stand anything but that.
When the train stopped at Wing

there 10 meet him, though. so why
should he care. he thought. as he
started for the door He had wired
them he was coming. but his friends
would feel too bad TO come. and the
others wouldn't bother. There would
be plenty OF time for them to get in

thrown about his neck and a kiss
planted on his lips. 1t was Hazel.
