Must Run Three Shifts
Daily Every Week in
the Year"
WILL NEED QUARTER
OF MILLION MEN
Board Now Has TIC Ship
ways for Steel and
Wooden Ships

Washington, Feb 6.-ResponsibiIity
for the success or failure OF the
governments shipbuilding was put
on labor today by Charles Piez, vice
president and general manager Of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, in an
appeal for shipyard workers.
"The shipping board has the
necessary yards, the materials and
the money" he said. IAN that is
lacking is a spirit in the nation that
will send a quarter Of a million AM
erican mechanics into the yards to
give the best and most efficient
work"
The fact that shipyards are work
ing only one shift six days a week
was characterized by Mr.. Piez a.
"monstrous."
IF we are to keep ahead of the
submarine campaign" said he. I'VE
must run three shifts a day fifty-two
weeks in the year"
Mr.. Piez's statement says:
within sixty days huge govern
ment yards will be completed and
soon thereafter more than $4,000
workmen will be required to furnish
for them the three eight hour shifts
necessary If these yards are TO turn
out their ships according 10 schedule.
The shipping board now has 40
ship ways: 302 are for wooden ships
and Ala are for steel construction.
THE yards in which they are es-
tablished are only working one eight
hour shift per day six days q week
This is monstrous. III We are 10 keep
ahead OF the submarine We must run
three shifts per day, iifty-two weeks
In the year.
Our program calls for the, con-
shuctiotl in 1919 eight 4iGnsas -
tonnage delivered in 1916 AT a c0sc
OF more than n billion dollars. The
shipping board haE the necessary
yards, the materials and the money
all that is lacking is a spirit in the
nation that will send "A quarter of a
million American mechanics into the
yards to give their best and most
efficient work.
Il am sorry to say at the present
time the native born American
workman is not the matnstay Of the
shipyard for he is there only TO the
extent Of 35 per cent Of the men en-
pIoyed and to the extent of 65 per
cent we are forced to depend on for
eign born labor"

IRON HADES IN SOUTH WALES
Molten Metal Rolling Down Side OF
Invisible Wall Turns Heavens
Into Great Blaze.

The first night spent by a visitor
in South Wales, in the center of the
great iron country, is marked by a
wonderful impression, says the London
Daily Mail.
In the daytime the iron works seem
only an ugly cluster of tall chimneys
and uneven roofs seen through gray
smoke. More insistent are the shrill
voices of ragged children and the hud-
ding cottages of the workmen, at
whose doors stand careworn ONE
with anxious eyes. And the dim noun
tains, sometimes half hidden by
sweeping transforms and sometimes q
clear greenish color, every lonely tree
IN their bare sides ~silhouetted in a
darker hue, force themselves upon the
eye with the tragedy Of their impo-
tence against the defiling hand of

HOSPITAL for War Boots.

The war girl is again setting new
records in a factory near the east end
of London. Here, however, it is not
shells, but boots which she is turning
out. 1t is more like a surgery for
boots than a factory because, within
40 minutes, a pair of boots from Elan
ders thick with mud and hardly
recognizable are completely restored
to strength and soundness. The boots
are scrubbed in warn water, dressed
with castor oil, the heel and tap is
stripped off, then the outer skin of
the upper part is taken off with a ma
chine invented during the war. The
sole and heel are renewed, the whole
blocked into shape and finally restain-
ed, polished and made ready for use
again in the army; all in 40 MINUTES
About 300 girls are working In this

atmosphere of cleanliness and order.
He found this atmosphere in Semira
Doane's pretty and well kept little
home, and the meals she served were

found the society of Jared Lyster to
be more agreeable than she would have

he said as he slowly and carefully
folded his napkin back into it's original
%creases:
"Well, Miss Semira, 1 think that I
must tell you hat 1 have decided to
make a change"
"In your business?" she asked with
her eyes fixed on her plate.
"Well, yes; the change 1 have in
mind will give me q partner in my
business. But what 1 was going to
speak to you about was a change in
regard to my meals. 1t isn't altogether
convenient having my room in one
place and taking my meals in another.
Moreover, 1 do not quite like being a
mealer."
"Of course, if you wish to make a
change you are at liberty to do so. 1
could not promise you any better meals
than 1 have been giving you even if
you stayed with me-"

before was what they call in this town
a 'mealer' and l don't like 1t. l would
enjoy my meals a good deal more if
they were served by-well, by my wife.
There! Semira, don't look so fright
ened! 1t is what 1 have been wanting
to say for a long time, almost from the
first meal 1 ate with you! Let me
stop being a 'mealer' and let me be
your husband instead"
He had reached across the little
table and taken her by both hands and
was looking into her face with shining
eyes. Her eyes met his in a moment
and he must have seen something Of
hope and encouragement for him in
them, for he was by her side in a mo-
ment with his arm around her waist
and his cheek to hers.
The next day Miss Doane received a
call from Mrs. Sampson, who said:
"Well, S'mira, its turned out just the
way Sampson an me have been sayin'
for two months that it would turn out,
