BOWLES ORDERS STEEL
RUSHED TO HOG ISLAND
$4,000 Tons in April to Yield
Maximum Capacity-Fifth
Keel Laid

Admiral Bowles today gave orders TO
the steel companies to furnish during
April the $4,000 tons of steel needed to
bring the Hog Island shpyard up to its
capacity. II this is accomplished, Ad-
miral Bowles said, the yard will be up
to its expected maximum working ca
paclty by May /.
Coincidentally. the keel of the fifth
merchant vessel was laid at Hog Island.
Admiral Bowles instructed the steel
companies to decrease shipments else
where and concentrate all their efforts
during April to wipe out the Hog Island
deficiency.
Much encouragement was also eN-
pressed by Admiral Bowles at the order
issued today by Director General Of
Railroad McAdoo lifting the embargo
on machinery and materials consigned
to the Emergency Fleet Corporation OF
any of its agents. 1t was explained
that the embargo had had delaying
effect on the work Of many sub-con'
tractors of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, and that the raising of tho
railroad embargo would go long way
toward speeding the shipbuilding work
In connection with a report that large
quantities of steel plates made by the
Phoenixville Iron Works, of Phoenix
vile, Pa, had been shipped TO points II
Canada for shaping and punching ant
then returned to Philadelphia shipyards
Admiral Bowles said:
ut is true that plates have beer
shipped to distant points for shapinl
and punching. but this was done after
due consideration by the shipping board
As a matter of fact, we've had to utiliz'
some of the smallest and most obscure
mills in distant parts of the country, bu
IL is also true that in many instances
we've gotten the best results from thes'

Concerning the adoption of electric
arc welding-instead of pneumatic-pres
sure bolts--Admiral Bowles said tina
the method would be used, but only Il
n limited extent. 1t would require fiv,
or six years, he added, to put the metho'
in general use and he doubted if Lloyd
would place insurance on ships tn

being bolted, as at present on interio
work the welding method will be givel

moi only to Friends but non-Friends be
resorted to.
.All men should be included" he said.
The peace committee was instructed TO
draft this letter and present 1t for final
approval to the delegates at tomorrow's
session, which will terminate the Yearly
Meeting.
The report Of the educational commit
tee showed that the scarcity or schooi
teachers is the greatest problem facing
the Friends schools. Appeal was made
for the younger Friends TO consider the
cdacational field In taking up their lies
endeaSor. O.
Tn answer TO Isaac Sharplesss query
Is to what would remedy the situation,
John r. Tatum told of the deplorabiy
low salary paid the teachers.
"The scarcity Of school teachers is not
q surprise to any one versed in these
school topics" he said. 1T is almost
impossible to exist on the salary paid the
teachers in this era of the high cost of
living. Elevate the position financially
equal to its social distinctions and you
Will have solved the problem"
The educational system of the Friends
was heavily scored by Francis X. Tay-
Ior. who said 1t was too conservative
to too great an extent"
r,rhe system of our schools must fail
unless we make them more democratic
he said. There does not live poor
boy who could attend any of our schools
without the aid Of probably a million
aire. Let US take the poor Friend in at
tho bottom and transfer him into q rich
man. mentally IL not financially, when
he IL graduated"
An appropriation OF $500 was passed
by the delegates to be used for the
schools. The report showed that an un-
known donor contributed $4,000 for
the running of the schools. A plea was
made for resting endowment fund for
each Friends school. SO that they might
"favorably compete with the public
schools"
Endorsement. of the national prohibi-
ton amendment was finally agreed to
by the delegates. Upon the minute books
was Inscribed: THE Yearly Meeting
unitedly indorses the proposed prohibit
ton amendment to the United States
Constitution forbidding the sale and
manufacturing of all intoxicating
liquors.
The peace committees report made n
plea for 400 more Friends to serve In
/. the recopstructive unit now rebuilding
houses and tilling the soil in the de-
vastated portions OF Europe.
The peace doctrine of the Friends will
be issued before the close of the meet
ing. II was planned.

KANE REVIVES PLAN
TO MAKE CITY "DRY'''
Continuance of Bootlegging
May Compel Federal Attor-
ney to Seek Closing Order

The United States Government may
be asked to make Philadelphia entirely
dry" United States District Attorney
Kane said today there was probable
ity that tomorrow he would ask the
Government to make this city a dry
zone
Mr.. Kane said that in recent con-
ference he had informed Nell Bonner
president of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association, that he might take such
action.
The District Attorney is disposed to
take such step because of the con-
tinuance of bootlegging. Despite the
fact that the members of the Liquor
Dealers Association agreed to sell moth.
ing less than quarts over the bars, Mr.
Kane said he learned that men were
getting the smaller quantities In Cam
den and bringing them to this city.
As there seemed to be no plan which
will stop the sale of liquor to the mer
in the army and navy, Mr.. Kane said
he favored national prohibition, which
he asserted, was the only means TO stol
the supply of liquor to the men ir
service.
