TUBERCU ARS0LDIERS
FORM GREAT PROBLEM
By the United Press.

BY the United Press.
LONDON. Aug. i7.-The combined ex-
perenco Of England, France and Italy
Is enabling America TO see farther
than her nose"
One Of the greatest after-war prob
lens will be tuberculosis.
In England, soldiers suffering from
this disease are being discharged from
the army I'm considerable numbers, and
In view OF this the American Red Cross
Is making a careful study OF European
methods OF lighting the white plague.
An interesting and important expert
ment has been inaugurated by opening
a cottage colony at PapwOrth Hall. Med
icai men estimate the average con
sumptlye soldier has less than a 80 per
cent capacity for work as compared
with the healthy wOrkingman. In this
experiment the authorities aim at sup
plementing the handicapped workers
income with the other 30 per cent that
he is unable TO earn, on the ground that
without this subsidy the patient would
go under. slowly and painfully, after
handing on the disease to the next gen.
Grafton.
At the cottage colony patients will
undergo treatment and at the same time
work at suitable trade, the principle
being TO subsidze the tuberculosis
labor
The American Red Cross is watch
ing the experiment with great interest,
realizing that the privations and hard
ships Of war are bound TO tell on the
strongest constitution; and when the
boys come home this disease will in
all probability be one OF the greatest
problems with which the United States
will have TO cope.

Maine AGAIN PUTS

Art Of Building Vessels OF
Wood Revived on

SPEED RECORDS

BY MILTON BRoNNER
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent

~ r. ~ CAdl 1NAANoiuAAAAAb
PORTLAND Me-, Aug. i7.-"Hearts Of
Oak" used to be a phrase much en-
ployed concerning the American mer-
chant marine when clipper ships, flying
the Stars and Stripes, crowded the
ports Of the world.
The phrase held double meaning
It applied to the stout oak timbers of
which the graceful sailing vessels were
built and II applied also to the stout
hearts OF the American seamen.
And now "hearts Of oak" Is again be-
ing heard up here in Maine, which, in
the olden days, was one Of the three
great shipbuilding States OF the union
For they are revivlng the art OF wooden
ship building up here. It's in the blood
OF these down east Yankees, and they
are setting new records for the entire
country.
Listen TO these recent accomplish
ments;
The Cumberland shlpbuilding Co. Of
this city launched the hull Of the
wooden ship Cumberland" 1876 days af-
ter work was started. No shlpyard
on the Atlantic or Gulf Coast has
equalled It.
The Portland Ship Ceiling Co launched
the Andrs and 81 days later the vessel
was completely equipped with boilers
and machinery and ready for sea. The
nearest TO this record was ii2 days out
on the Pacific coast.
So as properly to safeguard the YES
sells, the u. S. Shipping Board has
made lt dinlcult for visitors TO enter
any Of the shipyards in the country.
But there Is probably no place in
America where the stranger can see
Uncle Sans efforts TO bridge the seas
with greater facility than in Portland.
A ride in the ferry down through the
famous CascO Bay quickly reveals a
huge hull into which the machinery

gray.
Further down in the suburbs Of
Portland is one OF the big shipyards
where four wooden vessels are on the
Ways.
Maine is building wooden ships once
more, and wh0t is quite as important
laine believes they viii do the work
ssigned 20 them.
