UNCLE SANS SHIP WORKERS TO
ENJOY PANAMA CANAL
HEALTH
(By James II. Collins)

(By James II. Collins)
Have you little new shipyard in
your town?
In the starting of something like
100 brand-new ship building enter
prises the past year, and the enlarge
ment of others, Uncle Sam has drop
ped shipways and shipbuilders into
many q community around our coasts,
and started a thriving new industry
II your town got one Of these yards
probably you feel good about the new
activity, the new jobs for workers, the
new payroll putting money in circula-
tion.
But your new shipyard is going to
circulate something more than Uncle
Sans money-it will also bring you
his ideas of sanitation and health.
When Uncle Sam tackled the Pana-
ma Canal job, he began at the SANTA
tion end.
When he planned his draft Army
and built the cantonments, antatlon
was likewise the first consideration.
And in building ships, Uncle Sam
holds what he found made for sue
cess in building canal and training
an Army.
Through the U. S. Shipping Boards
Denartment of Health and Sanitation,
under Lieut-Col. Philip S. Deane, ev-
cry shipyard is being supervised by
sanitary experts, as well as commun-
tiles adjacent to the shipyards. In
most cases. as we shall see, it means
radical reforms in health regulation
and community spirit.
Some weeks ago, at little ship
yard recently set down in a rather
sleep Atlantic coast town, an outbreak
of dysentery was reported among
shipyard workers, about 100 of them
having suddenly come down with the
malady. The Shipping Board had a
sanitary engineer on the job immed-
lately, making an investigation in CO.
oneration with the State Board OF
Health. 1t was found that, while the
drinking water supply used in the
wards was entirely pure, being chlori-
mated, there was a temporary water
supply for concrete mixing. in which
polluted river water was used. work
men had drunk from the concrete wat
er supply, despite warning signs. AS
the best way of eliminating all
chances in the matter, the sanitary
engineers arranged for purifying the
concrete water too, using chloride OF
lime to make it safe to drink.
The South has been particularly ac-
tive in ship building. and numerous
new yards have sprung up around the
Gulf and South Atlantic Coast. The
new Daughterty type of wooden SNIP
inst adopted as official by Uncle Sam
because it is larger than the famous
Ferris type, and can also be built win

Army and the Council of National De-
fense.
Uncle Sam went into ship building
as a war emergency. He soon found
that creating new shipyards and get
ting men to work in them was only
half the problem. Shiuyard spirit
must be as good as Army or Navy
spirit. Good fighting and working
spirit are at least seventy-fve per
cent, good health. Therefore, good
health is being built into every ship
yard plant and laid down at the foun-
dation of the human organization.
The public ledger., 1918-06-17

men. A large dormitory was built
near the yard, with clubroom at
one end where men could read, write,
play pool or cards, have music and
visit and smoke. The sleeping rooms
in this domitory were warmed by hot
air last winter, and the piping sys-
TEN is to be used this summer for
blowing cool air through the corri-
doris With these conveniences for
making their work pleasant the EN-
ployees organized "Shipbuilder's
Service Club, elected officers, and
arranged for baseball, bowling and
basketball games, with dances and
other social affairs among themselves.
1t is now becoming matter of
pride among ship workers in that yard
to serve for the period of the war, and
arrangements have been made where
by every man who remains in the EN-
ploy of the company until the end of
of the war will receive a certificate,
showing that he not only served in the
fight for democracy, but that he stuck
out his post until the fight was won.
We are creating a new merchant
ship building industry, drawing in
men of other trades, teaching them
riveting, caulking, chipping, framing
punching and other shipyard crafts.
With this new industry is being
created new working spirit, pride
in skill, speed, inventiveness and riv-
airy with other nations, which will
make ship building as characteristic
an American big industry as automo-
bile production, or railroadng, or
steel making.
Along with the industry and its
working spirit will be created new
standards of health and efficiency. --
Uncle Sans work does not stop
|
with the cleaning up of bad health
conditions, or the providing of COM
fort and convenience. He will safe
guard life and health by giving the
shipyards the results of the best that
has been learned in war.
AS in instance, the Dakin solution
for treating wounds In the Army hos
Fpitals abroad has saved tens of thou
sands of soldiers lives and hundreds
of thousands of soldiers limbs by pre-
venting blood poisoning and other af-
ter-consequences of wounds. The
Dakin solution and the Dakin method
can save life and limb in our ship
yards just as efficiently. For, because
workers are negligent about appar-
emily trifing hurts sustained on the
days job, and local doctors are not
always abreast of the latest practice
followed in great hospitals like those
organized for the Armies, infection
sets in, and, may lead to amputation
or death. SO Uncle Sam is going to
take the Dakin solution and technique
to every shipyard DR.. Edward Mar
tin, of Philadelphia, specialist of in
ternational reputation in this branch
of medicines, has assigned two as
sistants to the Shipping Board. to
travel about the country and teach the
Dakin method to physicians in ship
yards and shipyard localities.
In health problems such as that OF
veneral disease, where even the best
regulations of health authorities de-
mand the intelligent cooperation Of
the men themselves. there will be a
first line of defense in direct dealing
with bad conditions. and a second line
Of defense In prophylactlc lectures to

Board. and In cooperation with the
