SHIP BUILDING SCHOOLS


Less than year ago there were not
$4,000 men employed in American
sllipyards. Today there are more than
100000 skilled mechanics and laborers
engaged in building ships, and an adj
ditional 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 new merchant marine
that will rival the trading meet of any
nation in the world. has been accomp-
lished In methodical fashion, without
any fuss and feathers" but achiev-
ing a result that industry long will re-
gard as one Of the most brilliant vic
tories of the war. 1t has been brought
about by the Shipping Board through
recognition of the principle that un-
trained men can become skilled work
men only through competent instruc'
ton. One of the first tasks of the Ship
ping Board, therefore, was the crea-
on of, Division Of Education and
Training, which has supervised the
establishment of training centers and
the development Of instructors among
the foremen and superintendent
Training the various kinds of ship
builders in the yards is accomplished
by putting the men to work on pro-
duction jobs, under the supervision Of
a yard instructor. This yard instruc
tor has full charge of gangs while
they are learning. The efficiency of

about 80 per cent of finished work

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 instructors
are drawn from a variety of trades,
such as riveters, ship filters, ship
caulkers, etc.
twenty-five plants have sent men
for training as yard instructors, PIG
of these men have completed their
training and "a are now in training.

SOUND REASONING

For reasons peculiar to himself,
Gov. Cats, of Florida, refused to let
the negro, Shorty Ford, in Jail at Jack
sonville, return to Georgia without
requisition papers, although the negro
did not demand them. Ford was ar
rested as accessory to the murder of
Hampton Smith, in Brooks county,
and is said to have made a full con-
fession, giving all the details of the
plot which led to the death of the
young farmer, the wounding of his
wife and the lyuching of fodr negoers.
As Gov. Cats was so insistent, it
might have been just as we'll for the
Georgia authorities to pay the Negroes
board in Jacksonville for awhile and
save some of our South Georgia jails
from being wrecked, or voluntary
military companies from being called
out, says the Triton Gazette.-Moul-
trie Observer.

report Of the British Local Govern
ment board. Some 40 percent fewer
German babies were born in 1916 than

rose tosan abnormal height for a time
after the outbreak of war, appears to
have gradually returned to the pre-
ar rate. The food difficulties have

babies dying, at least up till the end

shortage was most acute, the death
rate tended to fall.

Diary Of a Fashion Model
She Learns How Hats Are Designed and What Will Be
Considered "Smart" This Season.
Bv GRACE THORNCLIFFE

ST know what I'll do" said Madame
this morning. I'll design some hats.
Most of our models are small; we
need some broad-brimmed hats of the
sailor and picture type"
There's something very fascinating
about the way Madame builds hats.
The moment she picks up an I'M
trimmed shape and looks at it for a
moment or two, she seems to see the
finished creation. Her mind being
satisfied with the effect, she places
the shape on my head and begins to
arrange the trimming, pinning it in
the position that best pleases her
artistic eye.
Upon entering Narcotics workroom,
she picked UP a hat of black lisere
braid, studied it moment and said:
This ought to make a stunning model
for dress wear. Put it on, Claire,
that's the only way one can really tell
whether a hat has the right lines or
not"
I settled the hat on my head, fitting
the brim to one side.
mot that way, objected Madame.
''The brim turns down, so wear the
hat quite straight"
| When I had adjusted the hat to
suit Madame, she hunted about for
trimming to give it the proper style.
She tried ostrich feathers, paradise
plumage, lacquered fruit and silk
flowers, none of which suited her
fancy. Finally she picked out POM
pom of black cross aigrettes and pois-
| ed it in the centre front.
There! that's something like itr'
she exclaimed, smiling her satisfac-
ton. with a narrow binding of
black ribbon velvet about the edge
of the brim nd IA band of the same
trimming twisted about the base of
the crown, the hat will be perfect"
Marcelle made a mental note of
every suggestion given by Madame,
| then, taking the hat and trimming,
| she went into the workroom to give
| the necessary instructions to one of
the trimmers.
| While she was gone, Madame de-
signed another hat. This time she
| shose a shape of burn yellow straw,
with a rather broad brim and a high
crown. 1t was as pliabIe as soft felt
| and Madame proceeded to mould it
into every conceivable shape. She
finally decided that 1t was smarter
with the brim turned back in front.
''This hat should betrimmed very
simply, with a fiat, spreading bow of
ribbon or silk velvet" she said as she
hunted among the ribbons for some
thing suitable to carry out her idea.
After holding several varieties OF
ribbon against the hat she decided
that plaid design in velvet and silk

HONHNY AND BEEF

Hominy is excellent to use as part
of a one-dish dinner, if you have a
fire in your stove so that you can
cook it for long time, or use fire
les cooker. Heat one and one-half
quarts of water to boiling; add one
teaspoonful of salt and two cupfuls
of hominy which has been soaked
over night. Cook in a double boiler
for four hours or in the fireless cook
er over night. This makes five cup
fuls. This recipe may be increased
and enough cooked in different ways
for several meals. Hominy is excel
lent combined with dried, canned or
fresh fish, or meat and vegetable left
overs may be used. Here is one COM
bination:
Five cupfuls cooked hominy, four
potatoes, two cupfuls carrots, one tea
spoonful salt, one-quarter pound dried
beef, two cupfuls milk, two table
spoonfuls flour.
Melt the fat, stir in the flour, add
the cold milk, and mix well. Cook
until it thickens. Cut the potatoes
and carrots in dice mix all the mate
rails in a baking dish, and bake fol-
one hour.

WAGNER's DAUGHTERS.

Frau Isolde Biedler, the eldest
daughter of Richard Wagner, will be
fifty-three years old this month, for
she was born in April 1865, while her
mother, Cosima, was legally the wife
of Hans Won Buelow, the composer
and pianist. In the period preceding
Isolde's birth Cosina, Wagner and
Bue1ow lived together, but Wagner
always regarded Isolde as his daugh-
ter, and named her after his favorite
opera character. Eva Wagner, sister
of Isolde, is the wife of Houston Stew
art Chamberlain, an English author
who is now a naturalized citizen of
Germany, and who has received the
Iron Cross from the Kaiser for his
bitter attacks on England, published
in the German magazines.

Incidents in the Lines of
World Famous Women
How OldTime Generals Widow Took His Place and Won
Victories by Strategy
By ELOISE HARRINGTON

At length the Lady Jeanne Joined
the hunting party and warmly greet
ed the knights. She, too, wore
shirt of mail beneath her green vel
vet habit. After mounting her horse
she again repeated her plan for the
attack, and concluded by saying:
This is no easy task we're about
to undertake. Death or long years
Of Imprisonment may be our reward
for striking a blow at Philip Diet Va
lois. Pray that we may come out
the victors and not that merciless ty-
rant"
Jeanne then gave the signal for the
departure, and amid the loud shouts
of the knights, the blasts Of hunting
she rode over the drawbridge AMI
on toward the forest, followed by the
hunting party.
They rode on for many miles
among the tall trees, all the while
drawing nearer the castle of the enc
my At length they came to a wide
clearing, and here found a large
company of soldiers, fully equipped
for battle. Jeanne de Belleville rode
into the centre of the clearing and
addressed her troops:
wait you here quietly until you
hear a strong blast from hunting
horn, then rush to our assistance, and
may we be successful in overcoming
our foes"
Again the merry hunting party
rode on, reaching the castle at sun
set. One of the knights shouted tc
the guards stationed at the gate thai
a lady and her hunting party, having
followed the chase too far to reach
home that night, begged the lord Of
the castle to provide her and hel
guests with entertainment for the
night.
The guard, seeing nothing in E
hunting party to fear, left his pos
and soon returned, saying his com
mander would be honored to offer re
freshment to the lady and her party
The drawbridge was let down, and
the hunters were admitted to the
castle.
The last knight to enter blew {
blast on his hunting horn, which sig
nal brought the soldiers hidden in thu
wood.
The knights fought valiantly, en-
couraged by their brave leader, anC
by the time the soldiers arrived hat
accounted for many within the castle
After a short but fierce fight, Jeann
de Belleville and her stanch follow
ers were victorious.
The fire of resentment still burn

castle and it's garrison in charge o
one of the knights, and calling tn
others to follow her banner, proceed
ed to the next stronghold of the enc

after a few days rest, rode on t

In the early stages of the Hundred
Years War, when Edward III. ruled
England, and Philip Of Valois was
King of France, there occurred an
episode in the long struggle for the
lordship of Brittany in which a wom-
an played an important part.
Jeanne de BelleviIle was the wife of
Oliver de Gibson, a brave and mighty
warrior. This knight, with others of
the French nobility, was condemned
to death by Philip, who had heard
that they had secretly pledged them
selves to support Edward.
The unhappy widow of De Gibson
for a time mourned the loss of her
husband in solitude, then she reused

made to be worn with the hat.
"Girls like something Of the sort to
wind about their Threats in the
spring. Not every one fancies sum-
mer furs," she said. Then, picking
out piece of lightweight blue velvet,
she added. This will do nicely.
Please make the scarf a little over
two yards long"
Then, before Madame could begin
another hat, Julie came to call her
to go down to the studio, where Mrs.
Spencer Fielding wanted to consult
her about some costumes. Knowing
that lady and are about Of a size,

gave the best effect. The ribbon was
in two tones of blue, the darker shade
being a perfect sapphire hue.
Tying a large bow with two loops
and ends, Madame pinned it to the
turned-back brim and drew an end of
the ribbon from the centre Of the bow
over the edge Of the brim and tucked
it under the crown. The other end
she arranged artistically about one
side of the crown and across the back.
When Marcelle returned, Madame
instructed her to have the bow sewed
exactly as it was pinned. She also
told Marcelle to have a scarf of sap.
