BUILD SHIPS AND MORE SHIPS

At last the truth is out!
- The ostrich has raised its head
and shaken the sand from its eyes.
The British admiralty has sur
rendered its most precious secret
shared with them by the Germans
and published to the world the
shipping losses.
Since the war began there have
been sunk, mostly by U-boats, H.
827,572 tons gross. 1t is a colossal
figure, that, Eleven Million Tons of
Merchant Ships.
1t is a tonnage equal to one-third
of the entire allied tonnage afloat
upon the seven seas.
In the same period that upward
of eleven million tons have been sunk,
the shipyards of the world, other
than those of the central powers,
have only constructed 6, 606,275 tons
gross-iust a little over half the
amount that was sunk.
From today until the war has end
ed-in an allied triumph-we must
shoulder the burden of shipbuilding.
We must meet the U-boat challenge.
Ton for ton, our shipyards must
launch 'em as fast and faster than
the German sharks can sink 'em.
The only answer that we, of Cali
fornia, and of Oregon, and of Wash
ington, and of every state which has
a sea coast and shipyards can make
to the roar of those Teuton guns
in to build ships, and more ships
and still more ships.

HELP WIN THE WAR.

TAKE all of Uncle Sans gilt
edged securities that you can carry,
and keep on taking them, and so
show your loyalty to country and
faith in the triumph of Justice and
Right.
HAVE a part in upholding Old
Glory on the land and sea and let
the boys in khaki and the boys in
blue know that you are behind them
every one.
RALLY to the cause of war saw
ings and see to it that the war chest
is kept replenished, that more ships
may be built to send armies and
provisions to the front.
INVESTMENT in war savings
stamps is the highest order of prac-
teal home patriotism in this crisis
and will yield liberal returns while
the war is being won.
FALL into line and join Thrift
Club, or a Limit Club, and become
consistent and active member
thereof by setting apart something
day by day to help win the war.
THUS will you do your duty as
an American and prove your devotion
to nation and flag and hasten the
return of peace.
Garry on!

THE WORLD DEMANDS SILVER.

When silver was demonetized the
reason assigned was that the metal
was so easily procured that it had
lost its value as a money metal.
The result of decentralization was to
put out of business all but the very
richest silver mines, since which
time the demand has been supplied
easily from silver produced as by
product of refining copper and other
metals.
Now there is a demand for silver
which cannot be satisfied. 1t comes
from countries where paper money
irredeemable in anything, is the only
circulating medium. These people
want silver, which has some intrin-
sic value. 1t is also required by our
government and our associates for
disbursement in silver-using countries.
The Orient cannot get enough of
it.
If silver is so badely needed,
the obvious way to get it is to en-
courage production. This will be
accomplished by allowing those who
will pay most to get it. If, as is still
claimed by some, silver can be got
too easily, the surest way to keep
the price down is to let production
take its natural course under the
stimulus, or lack of it, of good
prices. 1t would not prove calam-
ity to mankind should silver retain
and keep its old rate of parity with

speak of "lucky" or an "unlucky"

good" pilot or bad" one. The only
time a man is told he Is lucky Is when

Gess. Only pilot knows what she
does to q pilots heart. Where are the

Ing to fly. They are nowhere else.

a pride that only a pilot can know. 1t
Is the pride of the self-dependent."

wlRsHIPS MUST HAVE AIR


One of the most difficult problems
IN buIldlng q modern battleship Is to
secure satisfactory ventilation, says
the Minneapolis Journal. A ship IL
uch a complicated thing, made up of
many steel boxes, large and small, for
the accommodation of officers, men,
coal. ammunition and stores; dotted
here and there with so many steel lad
ders. automatic lifts, steel bulkheads,
and watertight doors, varied here and
there by miles Of electric wires be-
longing to lights, telephones, bells and
motors, to say nothing OF the endless
mileage of pipes for flooding, drain
ing, pumping. fresh water, fresh air
or compressed air, and speaking tubes.
First In Importance comes the ven-
tilating OF the boiler and engine rooms.
When you begin to think of the gangs
of coal black demons working away In
the bowels of the ship at tempera-
ture OF 120 degrees; when, too, you
commence to realize that unless the
furnaces receive their required
ufhu6ht thC bPCCu VI thc DdtbicSAiAp
drops to below that Of her sisters In
the squadron, you appreciate the Inn
portance Of steam-driven fans to the
furnaces and boiler rooms. The sup
ply OF air comes down through large
watertight trunks which are continued
right up to the weather deck, armored
rntings being provided at the protect
i've deck.
For ventilating engine rooms, large
electric fans are employed. So, too.
the coal bunkers have to be ventilated.
owing to the gas which the coal gives
Off. This gas, when mixed with air,
forms an explosive; so. in order to
prevent a possibility of injury to men
or ship. a supply and an exhaust pipe
are fitted In such a manner as to
cause a current Of air.

JUNGLE FARM OF so ACRES
Only Ranch In World Where Crops
Are Produced for Exclusive Use
Of Wild Animals.

On a large tract of ground on the
outskirts of New York city there Is
the only farm In the world where
crops are raised for the exclusive
use Of wild animals.
Little Is known even In the metrop-
oils. about this curious jungle farm.
yet 1t covers about fifty acres. and
has been In existence for some time.
1t has gradually become a veritable
clearing house for foodstuffs for more
than 5000 captive BEASTS, birds. and
reptiles hailing from all parts OF the
world, who now live as one happy
family In the fine New York Zoologi-
cal park.
Until the establishment of the farm,
the provision of bountiful and varied
menu which would satisfy the resi-
dents Of the zoo and keep them In good
health the year round. was most
difficult matter. particularly In winter /;
but the products of the farm have
solved this problem perfectly. Not
only do these include corn, carrots,
beets, cabbages, turnips. potatoes, and
other good things that delight the APP
petite of vegetarians among the jungle
folks, but the needs of the carnivorous
beasts are also looked after. For this
purpose, the farm contains several big
breeding houses In which are raised
large quantities Of chickens, rabbits,
guinea pigs, rats, white mice, pigeons,
squads and pigs.
