own inspectors on the job all me
time. 1t will be on the common Ia
bcrer that the saving viii come.
Among the factors to be considered
in building the concrete ship is the
stress that the hull will have to an
derso in riding the waves. The build
ers must consider the fact that in
times of storms the great vessel OF
stone often rests on two waves with
no support in the center, and that this
tends to bend up the ends and force
down the center Or the ship may be
riding on the crest of a wave with
it's prov and stern in the air. in which
the tendency is to pull down the ends
and bend up the center. In short, a
continuous motion is going on in the
atoms of which the stone construction
is made. The men have to know all
about this motion; they must under
stand the elasticity of concrete and
now it compares with the steel rods
within it. / am told that they have as
certained that the stretch of the con-
crete is Just 10 times as great as that
OF the steel. In other words, IL GER
tain weight attached to a concrete
post suspended in the air will stretch
that post, say, ten one-thousandths OF
an inch, which is perhaps, the thick
ness of a horse hair. the same weight
attached to a steel post of the same
size would stretch IL only about one
thousandth of an inch. equal to the
thickness perhaps. of a silky hair OF

are of great importance to the scien-

Lower House of Congress
Votes to Increase Marine
Corps 10000 to $4,000

Washington. April 2o-Increase Of the
marine corps strength to $500 men was
voted by the House Friday to enable the
navy to put an entire division of the
sea soldiers at the front with Pershing's
expeditionary forces. Provision for the
increase, which would add about so per
cent to the enlisted personnel, was APP
proved by the naval committee and
promptly was made part Of the naval
appropriation bill under consideration in
the House.
The action was based on a recon-
mendation from General Pershing that
the brigade of marines now attached to
his forces be raised to complete d.
vision. With $500 men the department
not only could maintain a division of TO-
900 men in France, but would be able to
organize certain advance base forces
that have been planned for sometime.
1t was learned today that, in con-
fcrmity with his promise that the ma
rines would be moved up to the front
at the earliest possible opportunity. Gen.

various other conditions In short, Uncle
sam pays only one-half the cost of the

But before / write more of the gov
eminent plans. let me tell you what has
been done and is being done in concrete
shipbuilding in other parts of the world.
The stone ship is not a novelty Away
back in 1s49, 10 years before the world
was afflicted with the birth of the
Kaiser. a Frenchman named Lambot
made a small boat of reinforced concrete,
and this was shown six years later at
the worlds fair in Paris. 1t was a
success on the water. and as late as 1919
was reported to be in first-class condi-
ton.
The Dutch began to build barges OF
reinforced concrete 81 years ago, and
there are now barges of 90 tons on the
Holland canals. The Italians nave peer

years, and there is one so feet long ano
| "a feet wide which has been employed
on the Welland canal since 1910. 1t Is
used for carrying sand and gravel ane

years, and they have been making grea
pontoons there for landing stages of the
