Chewing Gum for Thirst;
100000 Packages Are
Ordered for U.S.Fighters

Orders have just been placed by
the Quartermaster Corps for $780,
900 packages of chewing gum for
the army. II has been found that
on long marches and where the
troops are unable to get sufficient
water. chewing gum is very effec-
tive in relieving thirst.
Recently the commanding officer
OF a regiment of field artillery.
when embarking for overseas serv-
ice. stated that $50 pounds of chew
ing gum would save hundreds of
gallons Of water when most need
ed. He pointed out that chewing
gum is cheap and that there are
times when water is very expen-
sive and at times unobtainable.
Precautions to save water are
therefore being taken. The lemon
drops used by the army are pre-
pared from a special formula tested
for its thirst-quenching qualities.
Canned tomatoes have also been
found effective for thirst

THIRTEEN IS LUCKY,
SAYS VIOLET HILSON
Burlesque Shuns Horror of Old
Superstition,

The number thirteen holds no ter
rors for Miss Violet Hilson, SOU
brette of the Rube Bernstein show.
"Follies of Pleasure" at the Lyceum
Theater this week, as this alleged
hoodo has always been the sign OF
good fortune for the popular
burlesque entertainer. Today is the
thirteenth anniversary of her debut
upon the stage. Incidentally, Miss
Hilson's last birthday anniversary
fell on Friday. the thirteenth day of
the month.
This is the sixth season Miss Hill
son has been in burlesque and with
the Bernstein production. She
played her first stage role at the age
of six and has been identified in
some manner with public entertain
nent since that time. Like other
stars, Miss Hilson thinks burlesque
has undergone a big change for the
better and her prophecy is that the
, coming years will bring this branch
of entertainment to a higher plane
of popularity than 1t enjoys today.

IN BUILDING OF SHIPS
Has Forged Ahead of England.
Former Greatest Builder.

The United States are now leading
Great Britain and the world in ship
building. Unofficial figures published
show that the output of the British
shipyards for August, was l24,6
gross tons. equal to lS7,01s deadweight
tons. The August deliveries of ship
yards in the United States for the
same period were 30. $50 deadweight
tons.
In the eight months ended with
August the American deliveries OF
completed ships amounted to ! 1885, 40l
deadweight tons. The unofficial fig
ures for the United Kingdom for the
same period show deliveries of 1,54s.-
S26 deadweight tons. Our lead over
Great Britain on the basis of these
unofficial figures therefore is so,57,
tons
Figures for American shipyards
issued through the Shipping Board
are for completed vessels of over 2,5Ot
deadweight tons, whereas the British
figures include all vessels of more
than 100 gross tons. II these smaller
vessels were included in the American
figures the lead of the United States
in shipbuilding would be even more
