A Hard Loser.

Ignorance, sheer ignorance" said
a government official. discussing an at
tack by a wal expert.
"This armchair critic" he went on,
"is as ignorant as the lady who got
up at the S. p. @. A. meeting and said /:
"Can't something be done, dear
friends-oh, can't something be done
to prevent horses from being scratched?
The horse is mans noblest friend, and
yet we read about its being scratched
almost every day in the papers. The
process must be very painful.
~"tScratching a horsel Oh, dear
friends, I'm sure it is a cruel and pain
full thing to do, for my husband at
tended the races last Saturday, and
all Saturday night in his sleep he
groaned and moaned and went on aw-
fully about a horse that had been
scratched. If you could have heard
him, dear friendsi His grief would
have melted a heart of stone.'"

LAKE HAS APPROPRIATE NAME
Body of Water In Eastern Turkestan
Resembles a Pendulum In Its
Regular Swing.

Lake Lop-nor, the wandering lake Of
the desert of Tayla-makan, in eastern
Turkestan, is the termination of the
River Tarkin. Like a pendulum, the
lake has swung from the south to the
north of the desert, and back again,
since the memory of man. The wan
derings of the lake are a tradition
handed down from father to son for
centuries. The natives of the lake
shore have always followed the wa
tiers.
At present Lop-nor is in the south
ern part of the desert; a shallow
reedy body of water hardly deserving
the name of lake. Murky and unpleas-
ant, 1t furnishes a livelihood to the in
habitants of its banks, the majority of
whom are fishermen. In their frail
shallow boats they cut through the
reeds, fishing and hunting for water
fowl along the banks. In some places
the reeds are too thick to admit the
passage of the boat; in such cases,
however, it is possible to walk over
the water on RATS of dried and rotting
stems. The chief native delicacy Is
the eggs of the reed-birds.
Lake Lop-nor is one of the hottest
places on the map in the summer and
the coolest in the winter. During the
winter months the lake is entirely fro
zen over, the temperature diving to 20
degrees below zero. In the summer
the combination of a temperature of
LOG degrees and the innumerable flies
and mosquitoes which swarm on the
banks make Lop-nor anything but a
summer resort.
The explanation of the lakes wan
behring's lies in the fact that Tarin car
ries every year quantities of silt to the
lake bed, which slowly rises. In time,
a hundred years or so, the river must
seek a new outlet, and the pendulum
swings to the north or south of the
desert, as the case may be.

4 lean shipyards, whether working in
wood, steel or cement, and 1. looks as if we
should, indeed, have 100000 tons of freight
ers afoat before the end of the year.
A few weeks ago the nation was thrilled
when news came from the Pacific coast that
a steel cargo carrier of $500 tons was put over
board 30 working days after the laying of her
keel and was delivered to the Emergency Fleet
corporation ready for service II days later. But
the record thus set by the steamship West Lianga,
built at Seattle by the Skinner & Eddy company
was fated to survive only a short while.
On April s the keel of the collier Tuckahoe
was laid at the yard of the New York Shipbuild-
Ing company at Camden, N. j. Twenty-seven
days afterward, on May 5, the ship was launched
30 per cent toward total completion, and on
May 10 she was In all respects fit to be turned
over to the government authorities. Her con-
tract did not call for her delivery until the middle
Of June.
The West Lianga, 1t should be borne in mind,
Is a ship Of $500 tons dead weight capacity,
while the Tuckahoe is of $500 tons, and this diff
ference brings the two achievements much
closer to equality than is mmon recognized.
For instance, the Skinner & Eddy steamship
probably has In her getup substantially $780,
900 rtvets, while the collier built on the Della
ware called for substantially 100000 rivets.
When all is said and done the rate of prog
ress Of a ship under construction is pretty ac-
curately judged by the number of rivetS driven
because the ultimate factor is the riveting gang,
and muscular effort and human endurance on
the part of these men determine the speed Of
assembling.
The driving of rivets cannot be lodged or i'm
perfectly done If the craft is to be put together
properly, and while exceptional records have been
made of late in rlvet driving these performances
are In the main isolated and by no means an In
dex of everyday and universal occurrence. Some
of the especially expert gangs have driven any
where from 1000 10 over 1000 rivets in a days
work, but the majority of them do not average
more than 400 rivets during a regular shift.
How then was 1t possible 10 put the Tuckahoe
together between April 8 and May 81
The New York Shipbuilding corporation
about 10 years ago initiated the standardized
ship with the idea of producing economically and
rapidly numerous vessels of identical form and
size.
Just before the Tuckahoe was taken in hand,
so 1t Is said, a sister ship was constructed and
simultaneously the materials for the Tuckahoe
were prepared and accumulated so that they
would be all ready for what might be termed a
record -making undertaking. With the sister

bride and groom, who, with her four
bridesmaids, are having farewell
party at a popular roof garden. Before
the party is over, the prospective bride
and groom have a misunderstanding
and she leaves the party in MT OF
jealousy. At that moment the devil
appears and advises the grOom-to-be
that he has only one hour to spend

At Fifth Avenue.

The management of the Fifth Ave-
nue. theatre has treat in store for its
patrons on Sunday, as tomorrow the
newest World-Picture Brady-Made,
The Guardian" will be the attrac-
ton. This drama has three stars,
June Elvidge, Montague Love and
Arthur Ashley. 1t has been staged in
a way to provoke the highest sort of
praise and as the story is snappy, in
teresting and entertaining it is evil
dent that in this production the pat
rons of this theatre have something
very exceptional to look forward to.
As the title indexes the story deals
with the experiences of a man who is
the guardian Of young girl. This
man, James Rokeby, is the president of
a national bank at the time the story
opens, but in his earlier days he was
a burglar. DOnavan, the keeper of a
notorious dive, knows this and milks
Rokenby regularly for large sums of
money. When Rokeby's ward, Marie
Dacre, becomes infatuated with a
young fortune hunter, the latter falls
into the clutches of Donavan and
when Marie finally turns the fortune
hunter down the two men form a dia-
bolical plot to get the girls money.
This plot almost succeeds but is fin
ally frustrated in remarkable
manner by Rokeby. Then Rokeby s
long love for his young ward meets
the refard it merits.
