POETRY
-HE END OF sUMMRR.

 Dead roses lean against the 1ichened Their scattered petals gleam along the From bronzing stubble comes the cur Jews call. In lonely lanes the daisies folded ali. The tall flags rustic at the waters edge. Fair summer with her glow, her bloom and balm, With all her ringing notes of gladness Her swallows flight, her silence and A monotone beneath the brooks low As one who treads familiar ways alone. Still rests the sunshine warm upon the
 plain. Young autumn lights to flame the
 rounded hills; Till all the frost-kist woods are bright Each dusty by-way shows the naples While every nook the royal aster fills Here where the silken grass in shadow
 lies, All golden-b brown are banks of frosted
 ferns That bask and dream beneath the
 amber skies, Or like some tarn, sleep-locked that
 lies Glowing with reflected splendor when
 sunset dies, An! 'tis then the yearning heart still
 turns,
 To summer flown.

the rapid construction of others will be
simple matter. The problem lies in
getting started. We must find out
whether here or there the hull must be
thicker or thinner, and this can be de.
termined successfully only when the
first ship is in the water.
Personally | am enthusiastic about
the possibilities of the future for the
concrete vessel. At the present time
the most efficient method of construct
ing the hulls of ships so that they will
resist the many complications OF
stress.
My reason for feeling so optimistic
is based upon what already has beer
obtained through the evolution of the
wooden ship, approximately for the last
1000 years, and of the iron and steel
ship for the past sixty years, com.
bined with the engineering knowledge
of the tensile, compressive and diago.
nal shearing strength of reinforced
concrete.
Although the concrete vessel prob.
ably will never replace the steel ship
yet for certain services and under Ger.
tain conditions she may prove more
economical and durable.
| believe that the difficulties which
will arise as we go ahead with the con.
struction of concrete ships will be
solved readily, and without very much
delay we will be able to turn them on,
rapidly. AS soon as the first ship is
launched hundreds of others can be
turned out easily and without draining
heavily upon skilled labor that is nov
practically ont Of the market. Con.
crete ships will require very small
number Of machinists or skilled crafts
men, as most of the work will be done
by unsklled mechanics.

rails that otherwise would practically
not be used for war work at all.
The principal materials needed are
Portland cement, sand, gravel and steel
reinforcement of the ordinary type used
for building purposes. Common, I'M
skilled labor can be employed for the
greater part Of the construction.
All things being equal, concrete ships
can be constructed in about half the
time that is required for building steel
or wooden ships.
1t is my personal opinion from the
experience have gained through build
ing some twenty-odd vessels of con-
crete in Norway of different sizes and
types that seagoing concrete ships can
be built successfully Of sizes ranging
between 5000 and 1000 tons, which is
large enough for transporting NUM-
tions, supplies, troops, etc, to France.
No one at the present time can state
with any certainty what limitations in
size there may be for concrete ships
This new type Of shipbuilding must
naturally be developed gradually, just
like the steel ships have been, and it
would be folly for any one to assert
at present that concrete ships cannot
be built as large as ships of other ma
terials.

Naval Architect
Approves Building
9,OOO-Ton Vessels
Bv MORGAN Barney.
By Morgan Barney,

Navol architect, scho hos designed t.
9,000-tom concrete ship.
When my attention was first called to
the possibility of building concrete
ships, over year ago, | made few
calculations, based on limited knowl-
edge of concrete structures, and
promptly dismissed the plan. Later the
question came up again in way that
could not be evaded, and with the as
sistance and cooperation Of some very
able American engineers and builders
who were specialists in concrete and
steel construction we began work on
the design of 9.000-ton steel and con-
crete ship suitable for transatlantic
service.
The calculations of stresses and
strains were carried out with the
greatest care, and at each step they
were compared with those of steel
ship of similar dimensions. until in
the end each member Of our ship was
as we'll able to bear its proportionate
load as "A steel vessel, and the concrete
shell itself was given local strength
equal to twice that Of shell plating
which it replaced. The questions of ex
pansion due to temperature changes,
hexibility, wntertightncgs, protection

tions of the mixture and many other
technical details and methods of con-
struction were carefully studied. These
plans have now received the final APP
prevail Of the Engineering Fleet Cor
poratlOn.
l have also prepared plans for ferro-
concrete barges, suitable for the New
York State Barge Canal and other in
land waterways. but the problems pre-
scented in this type of vessel are rela
lively simple.
There appears to be a loss of from
5 to 10 per cent in cargo carrying
capacity, but this is Offset by other
advantages -perhaps the most convinc.
ing being that the war has created a
situation where we must have concrete
ships or nothing.
The available steel and wood ship
building capacity of this country has
been reached and passed, but the re-
sources that can be turned to the
building of concrete ships are as vet
untouched.
The cement, sand Ad crushed stone
are unlimited. The Steel required is
of a character that is not used in steel
ships, and the same is true of labor
Special shipbuilding machinery is not
required
Statistics show that in our cities new
building construction has fallen to
about 40 per cent of normal, and this
situation can be taken advantage of by
building concrete ships of going
tonnage, oil tank steamers and also
bargcs for our unused inland water
ways to carry bulk freight that our
railroads are unsuccessfully attempting
to handle with their inadequate equip

The demand for ships is so great that

cal data relating to concrete vessels.
After the Frenchman, Lambot,
built his rowboat nobody attempted
to apply concrete to navigation until
1887, when eleven-ton concrete
barges, and, little later, fifty-five-
ton barges were built for canals in
Holland. In 1897 a concrete pontoon
was built in Italy. In the same coun-
try successful barges Of $50 tots
were built in 1905. In 1910 a con-
crete barge that has been entirely
satisfactory was built for the We'll
land Canal in Canada. In the same
year a 525-ton scow was built in San
Francisco and large scows at Pan
ANA. In the same year, also, and
later, concrete barges were built for
port use at Bahia, Brazil. In 1911
they began to build scows for use on
Chesapeake Bay. In the following
year 5OO-ton scow was put into
service at Baltimore. In 1911 a con-
crete sailboat was built at Dresden,
Germany. A 100-ton concrete scow
was put in service on the Manches-
ter Ship Canal, in England, in
1912. A 5C0-ton scow was built
at Fairfield, Md, in 1918. Nu-
merous lighters, scows and barges
we're completed in the next five
years. A 400-ton motor boat, using
Diesel engines, was completed by

be saved thereby. Yards with one
hundred ways, say, could be built for
only $2,000,0 00-plus the cost Of the
sites. AS soon as the experiments
are concluded work could then be
started on a hundred ships, and from
these ways 200 ships could be
launched within twelve months.
While there seems to be no reason
why, after yards have had some ex-
perience, concrete ships cannot be
launched within thirty days, it will
probably take about six months to
construct the experimental ships.
Then it will take three to six months
more to build large yards for guam
tity production. BY starting now
the yards will be completed before
the first ships. In the event of con-
crete construction for large boats be-
ing ascertained to be failure the
yards would be available for adapta-
ton to the building of wood or steel
ships. While the yards were build
ing other preliminary arrangements,
such as planning for supplies Of ma
terials, laborers, transportation,
housing, etc, could be made. Prob
ably $1O,000,000 at the outside would
/. have everything ready for 100 ways
to begin on ships.
Again, long before the yards
would be done, or the experimental
