100000 TONS OF
new SHIPPING.
APRIL RECORD
Average of 5000 Daily Beats
Other Months Will Con-
tinue.
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, May IA total out
put of 100000 tons OF new shipping for
the month OF April was reported TO
the shipping board today by Commits
sioner OF Navigation Chamberlain.
Two-thirds of the tonnage was con-
structed in the last half of the month.
AT that rate the output for the year
would approach 100000 tons, but
shipping board officials are looking
forward to much higher monthly totals
as building gets under way. The best
previous months construction was in
June of last year. when 22S,154 tons
were built. The total in March was
166.700 tons.
The shipping boards own figures on
April construction will not be an
nounced until complete reports have
been received from all shipyards
Those from Pacific coast yards may
not be at hand before the middle of
next week.
ITO the lay mind unaccustomed to
shipbuilding figures" said statement
by the board making public Mr.. Cham
berlain's report, this total of 100000
tons may not seem very impressive.
But it means that during the twenty
six working days in the month there
was turned out an average of 5000
tons of ship construction day

Michigan Experiences
Its First 'sBone-Dry" Day
(By Associated Press)

DETROIT, May michigan today
was experiencing it's first day as a
bone dry" state, the amendment to
the state constitution providing for
prohibition having become effective at
midnight last night. Many of the
1926 saloons affected by the law, re-
manned open today, but their business
was confined to the serving of lunches
and the dispensing of what is advertis-
ed as Temperance beer" This was
particularly true in the case of down
town saloons in the cities and larger
villages.
The manufacture of beer in the 60
breWerles of the state was diScontin-
ued some time ago, many of them turn
ing to the production of soft drinks,
while others were converted into ice
factories
Close watch was being kept today
on the number of physicians prescrip-
lions for liquor presented at drug
stores. Under the law, maximum
amount of spirituous liquor any person
may purchase is eight ounces, provid-
ed prescription signed by phvsi-
clan is presented at the time. To leg
ally carry that amount of intoxicating
liquor on the person, the bearer must
be able to prove that it was purchased
with prescription
