DRIVING RIvETs SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
Of Them Arc Needed In Q
Steel Ship.

The largest single item In the labor
of fabricating q steel ship IL In the
riveting Of her hull; therefore the
driving Of rivets II taken n standard
Of size and Of progress by most Of the
shipbuilders. To build . 10000 ton
ship a week means the driving OF
about 1000 rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards Of San Francisco. a.
at present equipped and freed from 10.
Dor troubles, can drive about 100000
rivets. although In q record week 1t
drove LOCO rivets: the four next
largest yards in America-at Fore Riv.
er, Mass, at Newport News, Va. at
Camden. and at Philadelphia upon tho
Delaware-can drive 200 600 to 5000
rivets q week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards win drive from
$1,000 to 10000 each seven days.
Riveting. despite all the inventions
devised to speed It up, remains hand
work and slow work. A nvet1ng gang
consists Of two men and two boy
the riveter. his ''holder-on." the passer
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 800 to 375 rivets in the
course Of ten-hour day and II tired
at the end Of It. But when you know
that Il takes four men all Of q working
day to drive an average Of little less
than $50 rivets. you can begin to 80
the full size Of the labor problem Of
driving at least $4,000 rivets q week
necessary to turn out q 10,000-ton
ship at the end Of that length Of time.
IN other words, you need 1000 men for
the riveting gangs alone.

The Girl Who Wouldn't Propose

The Girl Who Wouldn't Propose.
1t took a long time for Carol to re-
cover from the effect Of Lark's disloy-
atty, as she persisted In calling 1t. For
several weeks she didn't twinkle at all.
But when at last the smiles came easy
again, she wrote to Mr.. Duke, her
p'fessor no longer. but now q full
fledged young minister. She apollo
gized sweetly for her long delay.

have read this" she wrote. Cupid is

course no one outside the home circle
knows yet, but I insisted on telling you
because you have been such a grand
good friend to us for so long. We may
seem young to you, because you can't
forget when we were freshmen, but
we are really very grown up. We act
quite mature now. and never think OF
playing jokes. But didn't finish my

Carols eyes glittered wickedly as
she sealed this letter, which she had
penned with greatest care. And few
days later. when the answer came, she
danced gleefully up the stairs-not at

door behind her while she read:

You deserve to be.
Very sincerely your friend.
DAVID A. DUKE
Carol lay down on the bed and
crushed the letter ecstatically between
ner hands. Then she burst out laugh
ing. Then she cried little, nervously,
dnd laughed again. Then she smoothed
t'e letter affectionately, and curled up

CAROL
Carol jumped up and caught up her
hat and rushed all the way downtown
to the postofiice to get that letter
started for Danville, Illinois. where the
Rev. Mr.. Duke was located. Her face
was so radiant, and her eyes were 30
heavenly blue. and SO sparkling bright
that people on the street turned to
look after her admiringly.
She was feverfshly impatient until
the answer arrived. and was not at all
surprised that 1t came under special
delivery stamp, though Lark lifted her
eyebrows quizzically, and Aunt Grace
smiled suggestvely, and her father
looked up with sudden questioning in
his face. Carol made no comment, only
ran up to her room and locked the door
once more.

the enigmatic response. And Mr.. Starr
muttered something about women and
geometry and went away, shaking his
head. And aunt Grace smiled again.
But the months passed away. Lark,
not too absorbed In her own happiness
to find room for her twins affairs, at
last grew troubled. She and Aunt
Grace often held little conferences to
gether when Carol was safely out Of

THE PROOF OF THE PUD- DING IS IN THE EATING.

that the Byrne Shorthand is the greatest system in use to- day. It makes peter stenog- raphers in less time and cost than any other. It may be written either with pencil or 'any typewriter. It has over 30,000 enthusiastic writ CTS; it holds the worlds rec ord for speed in a given length of time, is the most simple, legible, and rapid sys- tenn in use, d is shown from the following remarks by our students who first studied other systems:
 T take pleasure in telling the public that the Byrne Shorthand is the only system. I previously studied Putnam eight months, used it in actual practice for four months; at the end of six weeks study of the Byrne, I was a better writ CT than 1 had ever been with the Putnam. "
 T have been a Sloan-Du- ployan stenographer for Is years; I found the system in- adequate. 1 then took the Gregg under Mir. Gregg of Chicago, but found 1t illegible. theE took up the Byrne, which l consider the steno- graphic marvel of the age.
 T first studied Putnam Shorthand, then took up the ByIne, and found the Byrne to be 35 per cent shorter ana that it could be written at ] much higher rate of speed, and read like print"
 T first studied Putnam four months, gave it up in dis gust l then took up Pernin and studied it almost night and day for six months; but was not competent to hold a position. I then took up the Byrne for three months, and find that I can hold any kind of a position.
 q graduated in Graham shorthand, writing 100 words a minute, after 9 months stu dy. After studying the Byrne Simplifed, together with Byrne Practical Bookkeeping for four months, 1 could write Byrne much faster and regard it superior to any other sys- tenn
 T thoroughly mastered fl systems, seven of the most prominent Putnam systems Gregg, Chartier, Byrne, and four minor systems, and find the Byrne much easier to read that it can be written with any of the other systems
 After studying six differ ent systems, I was unable to hold an ordinary office job, but with five weeks study O the Byrne l went into the Dis trict Court and did reporting successfully, and was appoint ed regular Court Stenogra- pher."
 Why study any system ot shorthand, other than tht Byrne, when the Byrne can bt learned in half the time, of less. read with greater ease and written at higher rate of speed which means bettei salary and promotion? It does not cost half as much t. complete a course in our school as it does one of the other systems in other schools We hold the exclusive right to teach the Byrne in this section The author is the president oi our school.

GERMAN LIES AND PROPAGANDA

From all parts of the country come stories of the work of Ger man propagandistas in circulat- ing stories about the war, about the conditions at the front and about the situation at home. The Philadelphia North American quotes few of these stories, as follows:
 In the treason factory output are stories that American battle ships have been sunk by the German navy,and the news SUD- pressed; that thousands of Am erican soldiers have been killed; that a German army is to invade us through Canada; that hun dreds of thousands of Germans in this country are drilling for revolt; that Secretary Tumulty is in jail, charged with treason; that our troops in France are suffering for food; that our troops in France have quarreled with the British; that articles knitted for the soldiers have gone to the officers. They are all lies."
 The same paper calls to mind few typical stories about the food situation, as follows:
 That Herbert Hoover, federal food administrators, gets a salary of $12,OOO and lives in luxury. It is lie. He gives his services to the country, without salary, and lives simply.
 'That, at Camp Mix or Camp Meade, quarters of beef are thrown away or burned. It is a lie.
 "That tons of vegetables, prin- cipally potatoes, are rotting through the carelessness of sol diers. It is a lie.
 "That whole carloads of fruit are decaying on the railroad tracks, because the commission men want to get high prices. It is lie.
 That French army officers have been shot for selling Am erican wheat to Germany. It is lie.
 That Canada is holding it's wheat so that it can demand a
