NEW SYSTEM OF SELF INSURANCE
 PROTECTS SHIPS

The insurance department of the
 Emergency Fleet corporation, which
 was organized in December, 1917,
 was established to centralize all the Insurance affairs of the corporation as a unit in the auditing division. The duties of this department em-
 brace the administration of all mat
 ters pertaining to insurance in con- nection with properties in which the corporation is interested, as we'll as the operation of a scheme of self insurance in connection with vessels being built throughout the country. This plan of self-insurance, com monly referred to as fund insurance, also contemplates the assumption of insurance risks on plants and other work undertaken by the cor poration as owners, including the manufacture and transportation of materials where such interests are solely at the corporations risk.
 The principle of se'f-insurance, as it applies to properties and vessels owned or under construction for the Emergency Fleet corporation, was determined upon by officials of the corporation after exhaustive study. It has always been the practice, in connection with vessels in under course of construction, for an owner to require the ship-builder to furnish insurance of the broadest nature to protect the owner for cash advances or other investments made during the process of building. This meth cd of self-insurance constitutes a new departure in protection of ship building risks.
 In view of the fact that builders are relieved of the necessity of placing insurance, the risks of build ing being assumed by the insurance fund, deduction is to be made from the contract purchase price paid for each vessel equivalent to the sum that would otherwise have been paid for the customary insur- ance protection. The sums so de- ducted are to be held in reserve to cover any losses which might occur.

DIME CREEK CAMP
SCORNS ALL lids
ALL DOORS WIDE OPEN LIKE
ALASKA OF OLD.
One Place In NorthIand Where Gold
seeker Can Tear Loose and k,g
Whoop FER Up.

NOME, Alaska. - The only wide
open camp in Alaska just now is Dime
Creek. Reeking with consolidated
drunkenness, gambling and dance
halls the new camp has dug itself a
nice little ulcer on the tributary of
the Kayokuk.
A little log cabin shelters the game
sters, where the gamblers have high
old time and rakeoffs mount as high
as three hundred a night. Currency
runs short and checks-mudstaine
and tobacco odored-indorsed by a
dozen different people pass for the
chips when the gold and silver fail.
Pangiggi, black jack, poker or such
other games as separate a man play
fully from his money, are to be had
for the asking. The camp is without
a deputy, and when the commissioner
shows up in the vicinity everything
is innocent looking. But that isn't all.
OF course, Dime Creek has dance
hall. 1t is popularity known as the
Monte Carlo, where a couple of high
stepping ladies have initiated the
leading lights of Dime into the terpsi-
chorean and other bacchanalian mys-
teries that may be referred to only as
congratulations. Here the willing tyro
reaches that stage Of sociability
wherein he is willing to whoop it up.
and whoop it up he does with the help
of the steersman who later guides him
to the cabin where the real games are
played.
The delightful condition of things
has raised the mischief with the camp,
but some of the sharks are lot rich
sr by their visits and it is pretty
prosperous field.
No gold mines along the deposits Of
Dime Creek have produced the wealth
that the little log cabin has returned
to those who have operated the games,
and the figures are prodigious as to
the limits played. 1t Is evidently no
place for pikers. In single sitting
one man lost as high as fourteen hun
dred, another a couple of hundred. IL
this keeps up the owners of the green
cloth will be able to buy steam yachts
and buzz wagons. So, too, with the
dancing ladies. A recent fair one from
the direction Of st. Michaels is said
to have amassed a fortune in the
dance hall, and her diamonds and gay
toggery put her sisterhood from 9TH
erwheres in the Cheap John class.
Yes, Dime Creek is pretty easy
camp with the lid off and the limit
thrown into the creek. That's the
statement Of fact which returning
Dimeites bring to Nome.

LAST CHANCETO ENTER THE

REGISTRATION WEEK FROM NOVEMBER TO 1l-RES-
ERVATIONS BEING HELD FOR WESTERN
MICHIGAN DRAFT MEN

Registered men of Western Michi-
gan, who enrolled under the draft of
September IL, have but few days
more to enroll in the War Industrial
Training Institute at Grand Rapids.
Registration week is from November
to IL. The Institute will open No
vember 10. There are $4,000 regis
tered men in Grand Rapids alone, and
these have been urged, by personal let
ter from the draft boards, to enroll.
That means there will be only few
openings from other parts of the state,
unless applications come in promptly.
In order to make possible the en-
rollment of registered men from
Western Michigan, the Institute di-
rectors have reserved a, number of
openings. These will not be given
out to Grand Rapids applicants, unless
it be found that the men in western
Michigan do not care for the advan-
tages offered to enter the military or
industrial arms of the government at
advanced pay or positions. This will
be determined by the opening day of
'egstration, so if applications are not
eceived from outside the city, the
reservations will be turned over to the
local applicant
