BUILDERS GET
REMNANTS

Seattle. WASH, Nov. 12.-National
ones for first place and one red for
second place-have been awarded the
shipbuilders. by the United States
shipping board and the Emergency
Fleet corporation, the official Judges
of the nation wide shipyard speed
up" contest being played in which
ships count as points.
Skinner and Eddy's plant won the
first flags in June and July this year
because it turned out mPre cargo car
riers for the government than any
other plant in the United States dur
ing the two months. In June the plant
launched two and delivered three and
in July it launched three and deliver
ed two. The second place flag was won
in May.
And the big plant is continuing at
Its task OF turning out more ships to
compete for more pennants, according
to the superintendent, foreman. and
men-about 1850 in all-employed
in the two yards operated by the cor
poration.
Building ships is more than a con-
structioh job-it is a-chance to win
the war; reads a poster in the yards.
According to the corporation officers
this phrase truthfully tells one of the
reasons why Skinner and Eddy's plant
wins pennants.' 81
Organization It is said, has been
one Of the means by which Skinner
and Eddy's yard has climbed to the
top The plant is very young, the COM
pany. having launched its first ship
September FL, 1915, but it has grown
by leaps and bounds mainly as a re-
suit, its officers say, of the work done
by it's general manager Of the works,
David Rodgers, in organizing the men
and creating a spirit of loyalty and
rivalry among them.
Rodgers recently was introduced to
President Wilson by Charles Nj.
Schwab, director general of the
Emergency Fleet corporation as "the
greatest shipbufidef in the world..',s
To overcome transportation. conges-
ton and delays the company recently
purchased three hundred freight cars
for its own use. At one time a delayed
freight train was bringing pumps for
a ship On the ways here. The pumps
were needed badly so the freight was
stopped at a point in transit and por-
tious of the load were transferred to
an EXPRESS a or a passenger train to
expedite their shipment. Recently a
special fast freight train was sent
here from the east with a load of tur-
bines for one of the record ships.
Skinner and Eddy's two plants are
near each other on the Seattle water
front. not far from the heart of the
city. The two plants cover nearly 100
acres, n. \

= Telephone Afectation

Boston Transcript. DIR. Samuel
johnson as. shrewd and sound, on the
whole. a Commentator on men and
things as ever lived, came to the con-
clusion that three-quarters of the con-
versation that one hears everywhere
is taken up with the efforts Of the
interlocutors to convince pne another
OF their importance. It is v true
enough of conversations one listens to
over the telephone.
The lady of the house" is called
up, for instance. and eavesdroppers
have no difficulty whatever in de-
termining at once the social rank Of
the unseen party to the conversation.
The woman's tone is instantly and un,
consciously adjusted and attempered
to the Standing and character Of the
party Of the second part. You dis
tinguish at once between the tone in
which she responds to the call from.
the market man or grocery man, and
the tone in which she accepts an in
vitation to luncheon which implies
social prestige. It is necessary, ac-
cording to Dr.. Johnson's rule. that
second part that she, too. is Of a social
rank equal to her own, and the slight.
unconscious dress put upon her tone
IL a tribute to DIR. Johnson's penetra-
ton and correctness.
There Is no great moral dereliction

While peace negotiations are going
forward the soldiers are still in the
trenches and on the firing lines ready
for any eventuality. Even after peace
has been signed it will be months be-

In the meantime they must not be

In every case call a physician
VapoRub should be used only In con-
nection with the p~hysician's internal
treatment.
Apply hot, wet cloths over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open~sthe pores.
Dry lightly and rub VapoRub well in
until the skin is red-spread on thick
~. and cover with hot flannel cloths.
Leave the bed-eovering loose around
the neck, as the body heat releases
the ingredients in the form Of vahors.
These vapors, inhaled with each
breath, stimulate the lining of the air
passages to throw off the influenza
germs. In case of head or chest cold,
which often accompanies influenza,
me vapors tend to keep the air pass
ages open, loosen the phlegm and
make the breathing. easier. In addi-
ton, VapoRub Is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids in
relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO USE vICK's VAPORUB AS
A PREVENTIVE
1t Is questionable II there ia any-
thing which will prevent Spanish IN

who are spreading the disease by

PLUS PROFIT"
PLAN0F ARMY
General Declares Govern
ment Saved Money; De-
MES Exorbitant Wages.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE much
attacked Cost plus profit system
under which contracts for the nation
al army cantonments were built. was
defended today by Brgadier General
Lltteu and his aies, who directed the
work, in t~estifying in the final branch
of the senate military committees war
inquiry.
General Littell. who declared tho
plan had saved the government
money. had not given contractors ex-
cessive fees and had not speeded COM
pletion OF the camps. Reports OF ex-
orbitant fees paid workmen were de-
clared to be exaggerated.
Consider Wilson Bin.
While the military committee was
investigating the cantonment con-
tracts, the senate judiciary committee
took up the bill sent to the capitol
last week by President Wilson pro-
posing unlimited authority for the ex-
ecutive to reorganize and co-ordinate
government departments and bu-
reaus. A subcommittee headed by
Senator Overman was appointed to
proceed with the consideration Of the
bill.
Both senate and house remained ST.
lent today on the question of war
efficiency and reorganization. Several
senators prepared speeches for deliv-
cry later this week..
Cost of Cantonmenn.
In detailing the work accomplished
in preparing quarters for the wal
army, General Littell said the sixteen
cantonments had cost $143, 600, 900,
and the average fee Of contractors at
each camp was from two to three per
cent. None was over six per cent,
and the maximum was $3.50 900.
Competitive bids were impossible, the
general said, because Of the speed re-
CURED.
Investigation Of the cantonment
question was not completed today and
General Littell and his assistants will
resume their testimony tomorrow.
The committee plans to close its in
quiry with this phase of the ar1ny's
activities after hearing a final state
ment by Secretary Baker.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
(By Roland G. Usher Of the Vigil
0n~&n@N

lantes)
Lincoln's birthday should remind us
of the great principles for which this
war is being fought-principles which
he, more than any other n man,
established as the meaning of Ameri-
can democracy. First, there is the
liberty of the individual to choose for
himself his WI career to act without
political dictation from the state.
Second. there is the principle Of
equality in all civil and legal affairs.
Both are. utterly antagonistic to The
class system and the bureaucratic
government of present Germany.
1t is not so much for the freeing
of the slaves that Lincoln stands as
for the greater constitutional prin-
ciples upon the basis of which will be
decided the issues Of the war His
greatest argument against slavery
pointed out that slavery was un-
democratic. and therefore inconsistent
with American institutions. Thatrar-
gument won where h moral and thu
economic and the political had failed.
We must now preserve the work OF
Lincoln, and preserve therefore that
particular Interpretation Of the
phrases. liberty, equality and de-
mocracy, which he wrote into the COM
stitution of the United States and the
hearts Of the American people.
