Today Half a Million Are Employed
on Vessels and Machinery to
Operate Them

Washington, June 13.-Less than a
year ago there were not $4,000 men
employed in American shipyards. To
day there are more than 100000
skilled mechanics and laborers en-.
gagged in building ships, and an add
tional 100000 employed in making the
engines, boilers, winches and other
machinery necessary to equip them
This tremendous expansion by
which the United States hopes to put
into service a new merchant marine
that will rival the trading feet Of any
nation in the world has been accom-
plished in methodical fashion, with
out any fuss and feathers" but
achieving a result that industry long
will regard as one of the most bril-.
liant victories of the war. It has
been brought about by the shipping
board through recognition Of the prin.
ciple that unframed men can become
skilled workmen only through com.
petent instruction One of the first
tasks of the shipping board, therefore,
was the creation of division Of edu.
cation and training, which has super
vised the establishment of training
centers and the development Of in.
structors among the foremen and sup
erintendents.
Training Of the various kinds of
shipbuilders in the yards is accom-.
plished by putting the men to work
on production jobs, under the super
vision of a yard instructor. This
yard instructor has full charge of
gangs while they are learning. The
efficiency of green gan under train
ing will average about 80 per cent of
finished workmen.
Yard instructors are skilled me-
chanics trained in the teaching meth
cd. This training is give in train
ing center, where the mechanic is
given an idea Of Institutional manage
ment, and how to get the instructions
across effectively.
The first training center was estab-
lished at Newport News. To It were
sent skilled mechanics, selected from
the yards. They were given six
weeks course Of training, eight hours
a day. During the last part of this
course they were obliged to spend
forty hours in the actual handling Of
gangs of green men. Yard instruc-
tors are drawn from variety of
trades, such as riveters, ships filters,
ship carpenters caulkers, ETC.

SPEECH N PREN|El
INDICATES FRENCH
FAVOR Open SPEECH
Peace Prdiniaaries To Be
Submitted To Chamber OF
Deputies For Approval.
By Fred s. Ferguson.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, Dec. S0-Premier Clemencean 3
speech before the chamber of deputies
today is regarded as the first step in
dicating that European statesmen arc
prepared to join in Wilson 3 "open di
plomaey." The premier showed this
willingness in his assurance to the chan
Der that peace preliminaries would be
submitted to that body for approval.
The creates confusion existed in un.
official circles regarding his references
to freedom of the seas and other vital
principles owing to the widely diver
gent versions published by the various
newspapers. Among the American
peace delegates, however, his utterances
were accepted as satisfactory and not
inconsistent with the ideas he had ex-
pressed heretofore.
Kept to Former Ideas.
The official quotations of Clemen.
ceau's reference to his conversation
with President Wilson regarding the
British fleet will not be available be
fore late today. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Wilson did not depart from
his previously expressed American ideas
concerning freedom of the seas which
he has consistently held, show the ne
cessity for strong sea control. Inciden
tally, it is known, third person wai
present during the conversation be-
tween Wilson and Clemenceau.
Clemenceau did not mention the|
league Of nations in detail, but the gov
ernment's views regarding the league
were satisfactorily interpreted by Min
lister Pichon. qc
The vote of epnfidence in Clemcn-
ccau, coupled with the result of the
British elections, gives assurance thss
British and French policies, upon which
important discussions hitherto had beonl
based, will tGt be changed.

SERGEANT ROY HIXON
in THE BIG FIGHTING
On His Way To The Rhine But
Found His French No Good
While In Luxemburg.

u. B. Hixon Of 178 North 25th street
is in receipt of letter written by his
son, Sergeant Roy L. Hixon, written
Nov. 25, in which the sergeant gives
the cheering news that he is ON his way
to Germany. The letter is written from
Luxemburg and is as follows:
"At present am in Lnxemburg. We
have been moving ever since Nov. 16,
staying in place only one or two days
at a time. The people and towns are
altogether different from what we havt
been seeing in France.
Everyone in Luxemburg speaks
German but some Of the older peopl
understand French. What little French
we learned during our seven months In
France is of no use to us here. Every
time we would want to buy something
or speak to a civilian, we would won
der how it was said in German.
"The towns are not shot up and there
are lots of civilians. Where we were
in France the towns were not inhabitea
and there was only women and children.
CAT night lights are everywhere and
we use lights on trucks and ears. A
month ago we were wandering around
in the dark with our supply trucks. 1t
used 10 be that We were right up on the
front you couldn't even have cigar
ette, let alone light to see by. When
we were driving on the road in France
and in the dark, We just had to trust
the Lord that nothing got in our way
for you couldn ses your hand before
you.
1--WE expect to move forward to the
Rhine about Dee. l. We are all in
hopes and expect to get ordered to the
state. We have seen all the war we
want, as we have been through it all
since July 10 at Chateau Thierry, St.

Thirteenth street. Several matters OF
financial detail in connection with the
local support of enterprises previously
launched by the national society Of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tlon we're discussed. The national So
eiety pledged 100000 worth of liber-
ty bonds in the last drive, calling for
q levy per Daughter" of one dollar.
Arrangements were made to collect
these dues in the local chapter as soon
as possible.
Some time ago the national society
also undertook praiseWorthy move
ment, that of restoring a French viii
lage, which had been completely de-
stroyed during the war. The village se-
lected was Tilloloy, and plans are now
under way for the erection of new cot
tages, a church, school house, and the
outfitting of each household with fur
niture and tools. Tilloloy is in the
heart Of farming district, and the
idea Of supplying tools to the inhabi-
tants will thus give them direct
means Of livelihood. The cost Of each
cottage will be about 5000, and each
set of tools 500. About SO or go hous-
es will be built, the whole village to
be restored at an expense Of $4,000 to
the Daughters of the American Revolu.
tion. Each member over the country
will be thus assessed fifty cents, the
total sum of these levies as regards
the Salem chapter to be forwarded at
once to the headquarters at Washing
ton, d. G.
At the conclusion of tho business
meeting tea was served by the hostess.
The next meeting of the Daughters of
the American Revolution will be held
the fourth Saturday in January, when
the annual election Of officers will
take place. Mrs. G. c. Clark will be
the hostess.

An OLD FAMILIAR DISEASE
Simply the Same Old Grip That Has Swept Over the
World Time and Time Again The Last Epidemic

neck as the heat of the body liberates
the ingredients in the form Of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time, Va
poRub is absorbed through and stimu-
lates the skin, attracting the blood to
the surface, and thus aids in relieving
the congestion within.
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
There is no occasion for panie--in-
fluenza or grip has very low percent
age of fatalities-not over one death
out of every four hundred cases, ae-
cording to the N. G. Board of Health.
The chief danger lies in complications
arising, attacking principally patients
in run down condition-those who
don t go to bed soon enough, or those
who get up too early.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through cough
ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid per
sons having colds-which means avoid
erowds-common drinking cups, roller
towels, etc. Keep your bodily strength
by plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all. avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining Of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Wick s VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For a head cold, melt
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use yapoRub
in :. benzoin steam kettle. If this is
not available, use an ORDINARY tea
kettle. Fill half full of polling water,
put in half a teaspoon oe VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
NoTE-Viek Is VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and Campnor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve Is
applied to the body heat, these ingre-
dents are liberated in the form of va
pors. VapoRub can be had in three siz-
es at all druggists. While comparative
ly new in certain parts o. the north,
it is the standard home remedy in the
south and west for all forms OF cold
troubles-over six million Jars were
sold last year. yapoRub is particularly
recommended for children $ Group or
colds, as it is externally applied and
can, therefore, be useI freely and often
without the slightest haTisfBl effects.
