have been making ships here from the
days of William Penn until now. The
first steamboat which ever carried pas
sengers on the American continent was
built here. 1t was invented by John
Fitch, and made a speed of eight miles
an hour between Philadelphia and Bur
lington. That was 20 years before the
Clermont, invented by Fulton, first ran
on the Hudson. Within four years after
the war of the revolution closed 1872 yes
sells were made in ~ Philadelphia ship
yards. and at the -u.sreak of the war
try in shipbuilding. She constructed
many ships during the civil war, and
today she is the largest shipbuildng
center of the United States.
II you could climb to the top Of the
city hall tower, and, standing by the
statue of William Penn look up and
down the Delaware river, you would see
that it is dotted with shipyards for a
length of perhaps so miles. Indeed it is
often called the American Clyde, and
within few months it will be turning
out steamers more rapidly than the little
river which connects Glasgow with the
sea.
The shipyards already cover something
like 80 square miles north of Philadel-
phia at Bristol. There. on the old Lam
dreth seed farm, the Merchants Ship
building company has Just established
a fabricating plant to build vessels for
the emergency fleet corporation. 1t has
a dozen ways already completed, and
five keels have been laid. The land
promises to grow ships quite as fast as
it once grew garden seeds
A little further south on the same side
of the river is the Trailer Shipbuilding
company, and then come the great yards
of the Cramps, who have been noted as
skipbuilders for generations. They have
made the fastest of our American grey
hounds and have constructed many bat
tleships and cruisers for the United
States navy. They launched tens Of
thousands of tons of shipping in 1917 and
their plant is now one OF the busiest of
the country.

building and it will probably form the
basis Of one of our greatest national
Industries. 1t is based upon the manu-
featuring processes Whicn are now IN
use in the chief shipyards of the ws:ld,
and to understand it one has TO go TO
the old-established plants, where they
are constructing ships from the ground
UP.
one of the largest of these is the New
York Shipbuilding company; 1t makes
in it's own yards almost everything tnat
goes into the ship, and it sends forth
the product in the magnificent steamers
and terrible vessels of war which IT has
been building for years. l have visited
the yards of this company. They are
situated in New Jersey, at the southern
end of the city of Camden, and about
two miles from the Market street wharf.
They cover 100 acres, the greater part OF
which is now under roof. Some single
shops have more than 16 acres under one
roof, and there are departments which
cover acres. The establishment has COW
cred ways for 16 vessels already in use,
and eight without roof covering almost
completed. Some of the ways are 1000
feet long. and they will take in the
largest ships now being made. The com
pany has already built May big steam
ers. 1t made the Mongolia and Man
it would fill the street of a city block
from side to side and from end to end,
and the hurricane deck would reach to
the height of the five-story windows.
Each of these ships has a displacement
of 26,500 tons. The Idaho, now almost
completed, has over $1,000 tons, 1t is 500
feet long and 81 feet wide and it will
carry more than 1000 tons of fuel oil to
operate its great turbines
The New York Shipbuilding company
began to use modern efficiency meth
, DDS Is years ago. Its officials tell me
that the fabricating Of ships Is not
new to them, and that they have been
using standardizing methods for many
years Long before the cheap automo-
bile was invented this establishment
was sending it's materials through the
shops in a continuous procession from
the raw to the finished product and
economizing the handling of the parts
in every possible way. This efficiency
has been greatly improved and today
there is a continuous movement from
the raw materials to the completed
vessel. The raw material in these yards
| is the plates made al the big steel
plants OF the country and the rough
castings and lumber. Nearly every :
thing else is held in the wards, hut the
parts are assembled in continuous
progression and the finished product
leaves as a great vessel of war almo 1T
ready to start into action, or as a mer-
chairman fitted to carry freight across
TIE ocean, or as an oil tanker that may
be loaded with gasoline or petroleum.
To build a ship in this way requires
all sorts of workmen and almost every
branch of industry. 1t requires vast
range of materials necessitating all

The fall millinery offers a
splendid variety of
shapes

The general tendency is toward broad low
lines, which makes possible many models of
beauty and character. Crowns are mostly low
and soft; brims are irregular in width. Velvet
poplin, faille, soft tafeta, angora and chenille
are the' principal fabrics. Wings, ribbon
bows and ostrich effects are the best developed
trimmings. You'll be delighted to find that
nearly every model will prove becoming to you.

has been most remarkable-in fact

At that time he was stationed at Fort
Sheridan. After few months

later transferred to Camp Grant,
Rockford Ills, where he was made
Battalion Adjutant Of the First Regi-
