Wood. 4

SEATTLE Wash.-C. o. Morrow. pres
liant Of the Elliottray Shipbuilding
company. suffered something Of q
shock the other morning, but at that It
Was nothing to the shock suffered BY
several prominent citizens who were
taking stroll through the company's
big wooden shipbuilding plant.
The citizens were shocked when they
discovered that 20 tons Of rock salt IL
used In building each OF the big wood
en- ships now under construction In
Seattle. Mr.. Morrow was shocked be-
cause his callers didn't know that rock
salt - q shipbuilding material. Every
body on the water front knows that,
but It seems that there are lot Of
prominent business men who didn't.
There Is now a suspicion that only a
very few residents east of Railroad
avenue know that wooden ship has
to be sailed.
In showing the prominent citizens
about his plant Mr.. Morrow came to
the building in which he stores this
rock salt. A railroad car was unload
ing another shipment.
a This is where we keep the salt for
the ships" said Morrow.
"Haw, haw !" said one caller, who Is
something Of humorist. II suppose
you're afraid the ships will get too
1resh?"
''That's the exact TRUTH" said Mr..
Morrow.
But the citizens wouldn't believe him
until they had examined the salt. Some
Of them tasted 1t. The storehouses
contained 100 tons.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the salt
10 poured between the frames of a
wooden ship above the water line and
is tamped down solid. Then If any wa.
ter seeps into the spaces between the
frames It is turned to brine and does
not damage the wood. Instead, it acts
