pontoons. He states that the pontoons
may be raised and lowered at will
lifting the main hull clear of the bot
tom, permitting the boat to be driven
into deep water without effort. An
other feature which is claimed for II
is ability to left the hull a sufficient
height out Of the water to Permit of
painting or repairs without necessity
of using a dry dock.
The inventor says that the boat
which he has just completed is largely
experimental, but has demonstrated
the soundness of the principle upon
which it was constructed. Future
boats are to possess a number Of i'm
provements which have suggested
themselves. He is confident that there
will be a great demand for the boats
and hopes to build them locally on a
large scale.
Mr.. Woods has applied for a patent
on his boat and contemplates forming

believes he has realized the dream Of
his lifetime and has perfected a boat
which will revolutioniZe small craft
construction.
The boat which Mr.. Woods has con-
structed in spare hours is as unusual
in appearance as he believes 1t win
prove in accomplishment.
With three hundred and sixty square
feet of deck space and capacity for
forty persons. the main hull is forty
feet in length with twenty-five inch
beam. On each side of the hull is a
non sinkable pontoon sixteen feet long,
two feet wide and eighteen inches
deep. The pontoons support the over
hanging deck and make possible the
great carrying capacity of the craft.
The designer says that 1t was his idea

other types with none of their disad-
vantages. He is confident that driven
by II horsepower gasoline engine
the boat will easily develop twelve
miles an hour a remarkable speed for
a boat of its large capacity and linn

Mr.. Woods states that among its
other advantages, the craft Is unsink-
able. entirely seaworthy and can be
operated in very shallow waters. If 1t

was submitted TO the senate commit.
tee by Francis S. Peabody of Chicago.
coal production director of the council
OF national defense. He presented a
price list for different Goals and urged
that any operator who sold coal below
standard to be set by the bureau Of
mines be penalized 81 a ton. This
would preclude shipment of lOw-grade
coal which consumers have complained
of this year, he said.
Coal operators profits since last
July "have been enormous" Mr.. Pea
body declared.
Il think my company will earn be-
tween 20 and 80 per cent before de-
Quoting war taxes" he said.
Price maximums he suggested for
coal at the mine follow:
For veins SO inches or under, 81 ;
sc to As inches, $780, AZ inches to
feet, So; to 6 feet, $3.50; and over
6 feet, $2.25. These prices practically
are the same as now fixed by the fuel

the government to take over the mines
or the output, and insisted that pro-
ductiOn would lie adequately increased
under the prices he suggested.
