Warship Repairs.

Over and above the great activity
of the British yards in building new
warships, particularly destroyerS. and
the construction Of merchant ships. an
enormous amount of time and labor
has to be devoted TO repairs. In re-
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said:
During one month the number OF war
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1,OO0-that Is, in addition to the
LOO merchant ships-and that was by
no means an abnormal month. Since
the beginning of the war $1,000 war
vessels, including patrol craft ana
mine sweepers, have been docked or
placed on the ways, and these figures
do not include repair work done to the
vessels Of our allies"
Add to this the arming of the vast
fleet of British merchant vessels, and
we have some conception of the enor-
nous task of shipbuilding, equipping
and repairing carried on by the British
admiralty.

Philadelphia, April 17.-Factory in
spectors of the states of PennSylva-

ed to report at the University of
Pennsylvania for instruction in the
new factory lighting codes, To be given
in Engineering Hall of the Universi-

Smith to place the facilities of the
engineering department of the unnver-
Sity at the disposal of the state.
The labor departments of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey were among
the first to adopt scientifically pre-
pared codes of lighting for industrial
plants throughout the two states.
These codes seek 10 insure certain
minimfn quantities of light and an
adherence to certain well-defined prin-
ciples in the quality of light as a
safeguard TO the eyesight of indus

THRIFT PATCH PRIZES
TO BOOST FOOD CROPS

Prizes to the amount Of $4,000 are
to be distributed among both the pro
fessional and amateur farmers Of this
State who are able to show this year
the greatest increa Sc in food produc
ton. While Maryland is net one of
the great wheat-growing States, recorl
crops Of other foods will, to a great
extent, meet our needs at home, and
thus ease the burden Of the wheat
growers who must supply our army
! and our allies abroad. Patriotic do
nations to the Maryland Food Admin
istration have provided the where
withal for these rewards. Owing to
the vacation from his arduous duties
which Administrator Baetjer's doctors
have compelled him to take, the COM
plete details are not yet available for
publication, but they will very shortly
appear in the papers. They will have
en- interest for every man, woman and
child who can handle a hoe.
The hope of the donors Of the prize
fund Is to stir up war gardeners to
still greater actions. There will be
prizes for the best farm or home gar
dens of less than half an acre, and
another set Of prizes for farm gardens
of over that size.
In the towns the thrift-plot scheme
has long passed out OF the joke stage
and Is doing a lot to tide over the
food crisis which the war has brought
about In the country, another joke
Is about to end Its days as laugh
producer-that which says man
must go to the city to get the good
things the farmer grows. In the past
a lot Of time, effort and money have
been spent by the farmer In buying
from town foodstuffs which he might
well grow at home. The chicken and
egg industry as by-product Of the
Maryland farms has put deal OF
money into the purse Of the farmers
wife. The development Of this plan
for patriot-patches as another by-prod-
uct will not only put more money In
that purse, but will also save deal
besides, In providing the farm-table
with foods at little cost for which
many dollars are now being spent.
The whole scheme Is to mobilize the
food-producing potentialities Of this
State so as to get the biggest and best
results. Everybody who can work
thrift-patc h Is urged to line UP on the
mark now and 50 be ready to beat
the harrier" the minute the papers de-
clare the competition open The win
ners will have Uncle Sans Liberty
Bonds, or some such reward for their

ton out Of the sure knowledge that
they have rendered patriotic service
