4 A few weeks ago the nation was thrilled
when news came from he Pacific coast that
4 steel cargo carrier of $500 tons was put over
board 55 working days after the laying OF her
keel and was delivered to the Emergency Fleet
corporations ready for service II days later. But
the record thus set by the steamship West Langa,
built at Seattle by the Skinner Eddy company
was fated to survive only. short while.
On April 8 the keel Of the collier Tuckahoe
was laid at the yard Of the New York Shipbuild-
Ing company at Camden, NJ ]. Twenty seven
days afterward. on May 8, the chip was launched
s6 per cent toward total completion, and on
May Ii she was in all respects At to be turned
over to the government authorities. Her con-
tract did not call for her delivery until the middle
Of June. ss9H vi 5elssa H lsia
The West Lianga, 1t should be borne in mind,

while the Tuckahoe ID Of $500 tons, and this DIFF
ference brings the two achievements much
closer to equality than is commonly recognized.
For instance, the Skinner Eddy steamship
probably. has in her getup substantially sO0,-
600 rivets. while the collier built on the Della
ware called for substantially 100000 nvets.
When all Is said and done the rate Of prog
iress Of a ship under construction is pretty ac-
curately judged by the number of rivets driven
because the ultimate factor Is the rfvet1ng gang,
and muscular effort and human endurance

assembling fii tf3 ~ sf,et
The driving of rivets cannot be lodged or Inn
perfectly done If the craft is to be put together
properly, and while exceptional records have been
made Of late in rivet driving these performances
are In the main isolated and by no means an In
dex Of everyday and universal occurrence. Some
Of the especially expert gangs have driven any
where from 1900 10 over 1000 rvets in days

off promptly, even ahead of time, for
it was only now growing dusk. We
could see in imagination the dropped

Share OUR SUGAR
With The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetenins
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation--in the matter of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration Of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has q sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration Is pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound q
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as In America.
If you go to a hotel In England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it Is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started FranceNhad
625,000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre.

sugar card has no assurance whatever

Italy Has estate Sugar."
4 Especially drastic regulations govern
| the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
| facture, distribution and sale are close

German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produce,
a great surplus Of sugar and exporte'
large quantities. Today the German
have virtually gone out of the expor
business, but have plenty Of cheal

Wholesale prices prevalent In tn
Allied nations, according to informa
ton received by the United State
Food Administration are as follows
England, 10 cents pound; Francs
5 II cents; Italy, 90 cents.
