COAST SPEEDS
 UP BUILDING IF
 WAR SHIPPING

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-Pacific coast shipbuilders may double their original allotment of 1,25O,OOO tons of new shipping in 1918.
 From Puget sound to San Diego practically every harbor is building ships of some sort at top speed, and nearly a dozen new yards will be in operation before the end of the year.
 The Skinner & Eddy corporation, Seattle, which launched the first ship for the Emergency Fleet corporation, established worlds record for uuicl construction of steel hull. The Go lumbia Shipbuilding corporation, Portland, broke that record a few weeks later by dropping an S,SOO-ton steel freghter into the water just siXty-one days after the keel was laid. The Seattle company girded it's Joins and launched hull only fifty-fve days after the laying of the hull, and turned the completed freighter over to the government in seventy-one days from the beginning of construction.
 Standard specifications freighters of the $500 and 9,4O0-ton type are under construction in Oakland, Alameda and San Francisco Many have been launched and several completed. Elk act figures are held as a war secret, but two of the worlds largest ship building C6mpanies-the Union Iron Works and the Moore & Scott com pany-are operating full blast on navy contracts as we'll as government freighters.
 Seattle's wooden and steel ship yards launch an average of two ships week. h 1918 they will launch a minimum of sixty steel and fifty wooden vessels. In the week of March 26 tour S,SOO-ton steel steam ships were launched.
 At Tacoma three Ferris type wooden steamships and one 7,500-ton steel freighter lave been completed, and twenty more vessels will be launched within the next four months.
 At Portland and Astoria and along the Columbia and Willamette rivers in Oregon sixty-seven ships were launched turing the twelve months ending Aprl i, 1918. The Oregon dis. trict's reco,d for that period netted

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

ats impossible. 1t is absurd. Moth
ing like that has ever been done. Try
to figure it out on paper and you will
see how absurd it is" Have you ever
heard such statements and a few days
later find that the impossible was not
impossible?
Since the beginning of time, the un-
usual has been called impossible by
many. If a thing has not been done,
it cannot be done; that is logic to un-
believers.
All great inventions have been ridi-
culed and declared impossible by
practically everyone when they were
first announced But as invention aft
er invention and discovery after dis
covery has been made there are few
ell who look on all new and unusual
things as impossibilities.
The events and progress OF the last
century seem to prove that nothing is
impossible; yet there are those who
still say Its impossible"
To him who is not willing to work,
TO sacrifice and to die for a cause, any
thing is impossible; but to him who
will work, will sacrifice and will die.
if necessary, there are no impossibili-
ties.

THE NEW BOOKS
Fear God in Your Own Village.

Richard Morse, in Fear God in Your
Own Village" tells of his work as a
preacher who was also a social re-
former in a rural community. Like
many small towns, the social and civic
affairs of the community were in bad
shape. There was no place of enter
tainment for the young people, no
moving pictures, no club of any kind
except the saloon. The church was
divided by quarrels.
The first thing that the preacher did
was to form Neighborhood House in
which innocent entertainment. as well
as night schools, were established for
the young people. He soon got the
whole town interested in the work.
and was finally able to build a fine
new house by the generous contribu-
tions Of the townspeople At the end
