new RECORD IN
SHIPBUILDING
June Production Amounted
to 100000 Dead
Il Weight Tons
(By Associated T'ress.1

Washington, July Ship produc-'
ton in the United States in June
amounted to 280,4OO dead weight
tons, making the total 1918 produc-
ton to date, 1,OO4,670 tons.
The June production which is at
the rate of 1854, 500 tons a year, Is
a new record for the United States
and is the greatest output of ocean
going tonnage ever completed in any
one month by any nation. 1t comes
within 5000 tons OF the worlds
record for shipbuiIding made by the
British shipyards in May, but which
included all classes of vessels.
OF the months output, steel ships
totalled 262, 800 tons and wooden
vessels was not announced. as 1t was
discovered that several had been put
into service so quickly after deliv-
cry that inspectors had not made
reports on them to the shipping
boards statistical department. Ton
mage figures were available from the
division Of operations.
An amazing growth in output was
disclosed by detailed figures for the
four weeks of June. In the first
week six ships Of 4,430 dead weight
tons were delivered, the second week
10 more Of 64,732 tons were added
and in the third week the average
for the month was made one a day
by the completion Of five ships, to-
falling 81 $50 tons. It was in the last
week Of the month, however, that
the shtpbuilders really hit their
stride and gave evidence of the ire
mendous output which may be ex-
pected from now on. Deliveries in
the last week totalled I29,978 tons,
which is at the rate Of nearly
7,00O,G 900 tons a year.
The same growth also has been
shown from month to month. The
output in June was three times that
in January, which amounted to
8S,507 tons.

Traffic Rules for Air Highways

So great has been the success of our
government in building up the flying
branch of the army that every day
when conditions permit, the air above
the flying fields is thronged with stu
dent aviators, and their instructors,
often as many as so at time. AS a
protection to life and property rigid
traffic rules, based on those of the
British Royal Flying corps. have been
adopted. When the war is over and
most OF these aviators return to civil
ian life. commercial or national police
will be needed in crowded aerial thor
oughfares.
The greatest danger of accident is
found near the surface of the aviation
field between machines just rising and
those about to land. Those aloft are
warned by a red flag when an aircraft
is ready to ascend.

the surface apply to two airplanes APP
