New Idea in Sea Transportation.

The detachable power plant method of speeding up ocean transportation, as proposed by H. de NJ. Shell, has been interesting British engineers. The plan Is to fit set of Diesel engines driving electric generators into q spe- cial steel caisSon, which would have also quarters for the engineers, and to mount this caisson detachably on the stern of any one of several hulls. By special pontoons the transfer would be made very quickly from vessel arriving in port to one ready to depart. Each hull would have It's own electric motors running the propellers, but cur rent would be supplied through wires from the generating caisson. Not least of the advantages, it is claimed. would be subdivision of the hull insuring greater security against submarines

Special talent often makes fine

Film Star Visits Hurlock

Mr.. Albert Calais, whose present
address is II West 46th street. New
York city, on his way to Los Ange-

day to renew old acquaintance and
friends. The career of Mr.. Calais
has been sensational, if not remain
tic, for in few brief years he has
made a name for himself in the film
first in his line.
His coming to Hurlock in 1908
was entirely different from his visit
this week. At that time Mr.. Her
bert f. Nichols decided to take a
boy out of one of the homes" in
the city, and it was this Albert Ca
lais that was sent to Mr. Nichols by
the authorities. He remained with
Mr. Nichols for four years, or until
1912, when he returned to the city.
After once getting established in
the city, he entered the moving pic
ture world, and his advancement has
been rapid He is now employed as
an actor by the Triangle Film Cor
poration, and his recent successes
have been with Ann Pennington in
Sunshine Alley" and Ruth Pauline
Frederick, in THE Woman In The
Case" which were staged at the Fa-
nous Players Studio in New York
city.
The fuel situation has caused the
curtailment of activities in the East
and the closing of the studios, ant
sending ten of their leading players
to the Pacific coast, where more sea-
sonable weather prevails, so as not
to be deprived of their services.
Mr.. Calais is but 20 years of age,
is picture of health and prosperity,
and enjoyed meeting his former
classmates in the school and Sunday
School, and his teachers, and they
in turn were glad to see him.-Hur-

necessary to move great quantities OF

coal, but without such immediate re-
lief as had become absolutely neces-

traffic, which has been piling up fol
the last few months.
Il have every confidence that the
result of action of this sort will jus
