SHIPBUILDING s PROGRESS II
THE SOUTH AMAZING,

Amazing progress in shipbuilding
in the South is reported by L. Prior,
naval architect of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, who returned re-
Gently from an inspection tour OF
the yards from Florida to Texas. All
along his tour Architect Prior found
companies eager to enlarge their
plants and workmen enthusiastic
over what they are doing to help win
the war.
One of the shipyard sights that
especially interested Mr.. Prior was
the big wood cargo carrier "War
Marvel" at Orange, Texas. This
4,800-ton ship, launched few weeks
ago, was preparing for the overseas
service. She will be the largest
steam propelled wood ship ever put
in transatlantic trade.
As an outcome Of the tour, the
Emergency Fleet Corporation has
decided to place in the South 200
Dougherty types of wood ships, with
4, 900 tons as the minimum. In this
type diagonal planking. will be used.
1t is Intended to give the ship great
'er strength, at the same time simpli.
flying the task Of finding timbers Of
the proper size. This system will
give not only increased strength, but
permit the use of lighter timbers.
Maximum size timbers only twenty
four inches wide will be required
These are readily available not only
for Southern but also for Eastern
shipyards.

July 4th Dance

In addition to the great event of
the afternoon Morgan City cele-
brated the nations anniversary by
holding the largest public dance in
point of attendance in all its history.
The hop was held under the aus
pices of the Tribe of Ben Hur and
took place at the City Hall. It was
estimated that over four hundred
people were present. The hall was ap-
propriately decorated with flags and
buntings Of America and her allies.
Mr.. T. ]. German, Chief of the Tribe,
stated they were indebted to local Red
Cross Unit for these decorations.

"There you are, you old North Star"
I cried aloud. "You want me to get
to Holland, don't you? But this Pat
O'Brien-this Pat O'Brein who calls
himself a soldier-he's got yellow
streak-North Star-and he says 1t

trai-after all you've done, North
Star? I don't want to follow him-I
just want to follow you-because you
you are taking me away from the
Huns and this Pat O'Brien-this fell
low who keeps after me all the time
and leans on my neck and wants me
to lie down-this yellow Pat O'Brein
wants me to go back to the Huns!"

time / had before me the spectre Of
that electric barrier between Belgium
and Holland, even if l ever reached
there alive. What was the use of
further suffering when I would prob
ably be captured in the end anyway?
Before giving up, however, decided
upon one bold move. I would ap-
proach one Of the houses in the vi
cinity and get food there or die in
the effort.
I picked out q small house because
I figured there would be less likeli-

Then I wrapped stone In my khaki
handkerchief as q sort Of camoudaged

pant Of the house, German or Belgian.

They could not speak English and I
could not speak Flemish. but I pointed
to my flying coat and then to the sky
and said "Fleger' (fier), which I
thought would tell them what was.
Whether they understood or were
intimidated by the hard-looking ap-
pearance, I don't know, but certainly
it would have to be a brave old man
