SHIPBUlLDING LURES
COLLEGE GRADUATES
Twenty From Wooster, Ohio,

Thirty.fve Coming

College graduates find shiphuildins
along the Delaware fascinating.
Twenty from Wooster College, Wooster.
O.. have tried IT out at the Pennsylvania
and New Jersey yards. Gloucester, to
their great satisfaction. and arrange
ments have been made to enter about
th!rty-hve more from the same inst!tu-
ton IN the same yards.
Last July J. y. Millar. graduate of
Wooster College and president Of the
Student Senate College there. picked
shipbuilding as the way to do his bit in
the war
His first experience was as a helper in
the Gloucester yards. Then he organized
the men of draft age IN the yards and
later undertook the organization Of the
service department Last April he
launched a shipyard weekly newspaper.

Millar liked the life so we'll that about
thirty-fve more of the boys back home
decided to Join hin, here. They are to
arrive about June IS. Some will go back
about September Is TO finish their
studies. but most Of them are expected
to stick to the war job until it is finished,
then finish their college course.
The new recruits will be headed by
l. c. Boles. athletic director at Wooster
College. who is going to give the ship
yards the benefit of his experience In de-
veloping youngsters.
These college boys have solved for
themselves the housing problem. Mil
lar has rented for them a big frame
house at $50 South Fifth street. Glou-
cester near the yards. No luxures
but just plain home comforts, are to
be provided at their own expense
The boys intend to run this place as
sort OF club. There they will also
eat their meals, which are to be pre-
| pared by a chef with whom they are
all we'll acquainted. This high digni-
tary they will bring with them. The
cuisine at their old frat" house in
Wooster was presided over by this same
chef
The college boys are entering into
shipbuilding IN the right spirit. Like
M!llar. they will tackle whatever work
may be assigned Some Of the twenty

SPEEDING UP WAR
INDUSTRIES IN u. s,
National Service Body to Ex.
tend Its Work Beyond
Shipyards

The work Of the National Service
Section Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poratton is TO be extended to all indus
tries relating to the prosecution Of the
war.
This section arranges patriotic meet
ings Heretofore its efforts have been
confined to shipyards for speeding up
production,
Results have been SO satisfactory
that the Government requested the Sec
ton to enlarge its work for higher pro-
duction in the muntion shops and other
places where speed is desired.
These meetings are to be tried first
, in muntion shops in and around Chi
cago and before long the experiment
will reach Philadelphia. 1t was stated
at the National Service Sections local
headquarters, room 1924 Widener build

| Letters and kilograms from shipyards
all over the country show remarkable
results from half-hour talks to ship
workers Perhaps few workers have
realized that while listening to some
! tale of German atrocity. their employers
were losing thousands of dollars. These
meetings have cost the shipbuilding
companies as high as 100000 each, ac-
cording to c. NJ. Patton, one of the ma.
tional service men in the local office.
| las rule. all the men are taken
from their work TO attend these meet

who has seen service at the front to
| give them half hour Of his time. We
can safely figure each mans time worth
seventy cents an hour. and II you figure
10000 men in attendance you can see
what these meetings cost
But we have shown that they pay, for
we have proof that the men have gone
back to their work with a vengeance
after hearing our speakers and in the
same afternoon more than made up in
production for ths half hour spent at the
mseting."
It has been customary to hold meet
ings weekly at some yards, but now the
schedule will be cut down to one about
every two or three weeks. The added
demands upon the section will compel
enlargement of the force, but good
speakers are said to be plentiful enough.
The shipbuilders prefer military speak
ers from the front.

steel launchings. the balance between
requisitioned and contract ships was al
most even, so that ships planned for by
