NEW YORK SHIP CROWD
ENJOYS MOONLIGHT"
Excursion With Dancing and
Fried Chicken Proves Q
Great Success

About $50 employees of the New York
Ship main offices at Camden are still
seasick today as the result of MOON
light on the waves OF the Delaware
River. But all managed to hold onto
the eats which the girls prepared with
their own dainty hands The girls all
got UP several hours earlier than usual
and left nice mess in the kitchen for
somebody else to clean up. But 1t was a
good experience for all. few more les
sons like that and they would all make
first-class wives for the shipworkers.
Nearly every girl carried n basket to
the office in the morning with big red
ripe tomatoes-yep, the real thing--fried
chicken and a few other delicacies that
only the wealthy can enjoy these days,
even in Jersey, where they make 'em.
These baskets had to be kept under a
special guard all day to keep the boys'
hands out of them.
At o'clock there was n grand rush
for the Chestnut street wharf where the
steamer City of Camaen was waiting.
The moon, full and bright came up
very early in answer to many wishes.
and naturally the crowd on the dance
floor began to thin out. The upper deck
suddenly became popular and the captain
and mate had a hard time trimming the
boat with the couples hiding in every
| little corner and the unattached boys
with peeping eyes promenadng round
and round to see who had the best hiding
place. f.. B. Lacy. one Of the assistant
| librarians took it upon himself to chap
eron the girls. and. Of course. it was his
| business to be on the job all the time to
see what was going on.

SHIPMENTS VILLAGE
NEARING COMPLETION
New York Company Building
1000 Modern Residences
for Men
Photographs Of Yorkship Village ap-
pear on the back page OF this Issue.

One Of the most remarkable housing
shipyards of this country is that of the
New York Shipbuilding Company at
West CollinEswood. The place has been
named Yorkshire Village. and by the time
the 1000 homes there are completed 1t
will be place to be proud Of The
ship company is erecting these homes
for it's employees. thus solving a problem
that every shipyard in the country has
faced since our entry into the war. The
housing question is growing more and
more acute at most shipyards.
About 500 Of these homes are already
under roof. The building was begun
last May. when 1000 houses were
started. Another 1000 have been begun.
The company expects to have at least
300 houses occupied by October 10.
Some are already completed, but the
street developments in the village have
not progressed far enough to open any
OF the houses for occupancy. The ship
workers are to name all the streets and
now there Is in progress an exciting
competition among them The boys are
to receive cash prizes from the COM
pany for the best names suggested. The
street development will probable be suf-
ficiently far advanced by october 1. II
Is hoped, to admit of throwing open
many Of the houses.
Only those in close touch with these
rhipworkers can realize how much these
houses mean to their families.
The company will rent all these homes
to its employees at moderate rents.
All the houses are attractive. All
are built of brick and have an exterior
architecture of the old Colonial days.
There are from four to six rooms in
each. All are two stories and have all
modern conveniences. About 1000 men
are engaged every day in constructing
these homes The Lockwood-Greene
Company is the engineering firm in
charge and the Tidewater Construction
Company and Miles-Tighe Company are
doing the work

The First Ron1anoff,

ROmanOff IS the name Of the Rus
sian imperial dynasty regnant in the
male line from 1913 to 1880, and
thcncefOrward in the female line. Con-
slant intermarrlages with German
prinCply houses, however, have made
the ROmanOff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay; the old
est ancestor Of the house of Roman
off. Andrew kobyla, is said to have
come TO Moscow from Prussia O34D
The name R0manOff was given TO the
family by the bOyar Roman Yurie-
witch, the fifth of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting a
female member of his family on the
throne Of the cars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February, 1913. Mikhacl FeOdorvltch
Romanolf, a boy of seventeen, was pro-

DRIVING RlVETs SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
Of Them Are Needed In
Steel ship.

The largest single item In the labor
Cr fabrcuting steel ship Is In the
r'veiing of her hui; therefore the
driving of rivots is taken rs n standard
az size and or progress by most of the
snipbuldors 10 build u 10000 ton
ship week means the driving OF
about G5OOO0 rlyets in that time. The
Union shipyards Of San Francisco, as
at present equipped and freed from la
Dor troubles, can drive about 3O0O0O
rivets, although I'm record week It
drove All 600 rivcts; the four next
largest yards I'm Amcrica-at Fore Rlv-
or, Mass. ut Newport News, Va, ut
Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Delawarc-can drive 100000 10 275,000
rlvets, week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shlpyards will drive from
$4,000 TO 10000 each seven days.
RivCting. despite all the inventions
devised to speed It up, remains hand
work and slow work. A rivetlng gang
consists of two men and two boys
the riveter, his "holder-on," the passer
hoy and The heater hoy. The gang
drives from 200 To 375 rivets in the
course Of tcn-hour day and is tired
at the end Of IT. But when you know
that it takes four men all Of working
day to drive an average of little less
than $50 rlvets, you can begin TO see
the full size of the labor problem of
driving at least 100000 rivets week
necessary to turn ont 10.000-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words, you need ! 200 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungcrford in Har-
per's. Ten ships wepk-the tremen-
dous program for 1918 TO which we
stand committed-means 6.500000 riv-
els n week. And the rivCt capacity Of
our five greatest yards-with total
working force of 10000 men at the end
of 1917-was but 100000 rivcts n
week. And rivoting represents only
about 20 per cent in the construction
of ship.

about 100000 from Ohio and Of
100000 from West Virginia. Tho
quantity of coal from Pennsylvania

The quantity Of btumnous coal
