TANKER TONNAGE TO
SHOW t|G INCREASE
Hurley Predicts That 1t VIII Reach
1900. 900 by the End of Next
Year.

Washington. Sept 1.-THE tanker
tonnage of the American merchant
fleets Will reach 100000 by the end
of next year. according to shipping
board figures. In The meantime, to
relieve strain on fuel oil supplies the
board may send a great number of
its 500 wooden hulls to Mexican oil
fields fill them with oil and bring it
to this country. Consideration is now
being given this matter.
Experts have advised the board
that 1t will not be necessary to sheath
the hulls to hold the oil. but that II
supply of copper could be had for
such work it should be put over the
outside of the hulls and not the inside.
The board is moving all of its avail
able shipping into the trans Aatlanttc
supply service. Every ship over 5000
tons is being placed in this service.
Smaller ships are going into coast
wise and South American trade, For
eign trade is being left to ships OF
foreign registry, while American boats
OF slrfH size all contribute their
share to win the war.
Use Oil Burners.
Smaller ships cannot be handled
economically in transatlantic carry
ing because so much of their space Is
required for bunkers Chairman Hur-
ley Is having the smaller vessels trans -
ferred to oil burning as rapidly as
may be to save coal and man-power,
Today he ordered all lake boats trans
formed TO oil burners.
And the shipping board Is working
TO a program of future production
with standardized larger ships, few
below 9,40o tons, most larger.
I'VE had to take over the 5000. 900
tons of requisitioned tonnage in all
sizes and classes. just as 1t was under
construction in the yards" he said
today. But our future program VIII
be for larger. more economical, more
easily operated standard ships. We
have quantity production, now We
must get quality. though keeping up
the quantity. And we are going to
man these ships for all time with
American crews. There'li be no more
hammocks, but comfortable hunks.
with clean bedding, shower baths,
comfortable lounging places. good
ventilation and good food. The sea
is to be made a decent and fit place
for a young man to work. We expect
boys going in now for patriotic rea-
sons 70 stay and soldiers returning

.Y'' Programs at Base Hospitals.

Weeks spent In base hospital play
havoc with the morale of a wounded
soldier unless he is fortunate enough
to be in one where the Red Cross or
Y. NJ. c, A. programs of ward activt-
ties are furnished. Even then he
yearns for the day he can get out
OF the four walls and hobhle around
the hospital grounds. Nearly all the
larger hospitals have special Y. NJ.
c. A. auditoriums, where moving pic
lures and other entertainments are
presented a regular intervals.
Whenever there's somethin' goin'
on" litti procession makes its way
from the various hospital buildings
to the auditorium. Some of the pa
raiders are unable to 60 1t alone, even
with the aid OF crutches. and are
helped by their stronger "buddies.
No matter how badly bunged up a
man may be, he will fail in line with
that procession If there is any mortal
way for him to get away with it
as some of them boast between
witches OF pain.
