LONDON. August 3.-As the cable

The models. which are simple and

and II is an interesting point that the
harness is beautifully embroidered by
soldiers, under the surveillance OF Lady
George Nevill. AS the dresses have
been patented. and all royalties on then,
are given to the Red Cross. the national
dress has a distinct recommendation
from more than one point OF view.

SEND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Wonderful Array OF Devices Flood
Committee, Whose Duty Is to Send
1t to Men ut Front.

LONDON, August 3-There's a place
in quiet old Bloomsbury with pathetic,
heart-sripping stories OF the tender
love of English people for their men
at the front.
There are mountains OF music. vio-
Inns. gramophones and other musical
instruments SO piled and piled that the

trenches and billets in France find
themselves imprisoned and showed

Thousands OF English homes have

boys out there"
Among the pile lies a harp. Two
years ago a young English officer came
home on leave and saw his harp idle
and said to his wife: I'll pack it and
play it to my men" His wife was to
send it to him. But bullet took him
as soon as he went back "over there"
The other day his widow brought it
to this collection OF instruments just
as he had packed it. She said she
knew he would like other hands 20
play the harp to his comrades. and
SC it goes out to France.
An old lady came with a concertina
and a large bundle OF music. She wept.
Take these. They belonged to my

and last son. They are all killed now.
I have no use for this poor concertina.

SPEED PRODUCING

Wooden Vessels Are Now Rival

Production.
TO CHANGE TYPE OF HULL
Government Adopts One Devised
and Known as War
Mystery.
TO CHANGE TYPE OF HULL

WASHINGTON. August with one
ship a day. the pace already set in
wood ship construction. and new
standardized type OF wood ship estab-
lishcd that will give great speed in
building from nov on. the steel ship
yards will have to look TO their laurcls
Prediction Of some surprising records
by the wood yards is made by James
H. Collins. writing in the Emergency
Fleet News. He points out that the
wood ship program for this year and
next on the basis Of four tons Of ship
ping TO maintain a soldier in France
will serve an army OF 10000 men
The Ferris type OF hull. heretofore
the standard of the emergency feet
has been replaced by the paugherty
type. designed oy a. A. Daugher;y. OF
the National Shipbuilding Company,
Orange. Tex. where the War Mystery,
first of this design. was launched
February 81
The Daugherty wood hip. besides
having the advantages OF being a
larger vessel-4.7oo tons deadweight
compared with $500 tons of the Ferris
type-and requiring smaller timbers, a
very important factor, simplifes con-
struction by standardizing every part
and numbering each construction piece
in the order OF its placement.
The Ferris wood ship had it's parts
numbered. but these numbers were as
signed chiefly with reference TO the
cutting Of timbers in the sawmills
With the Daughcrty design the keel
timber is numbe! one through every
process from mill TO building; the first
timber in the first frame erected on
the keel is number two, and every
timber thereafter SO numbered in the
sequence OF it's use.
This arrangement. it is believed,
will facilitate greatly the handling of
timbers in the shipyards and give a
basis for intelligent speed contests.
FIND 1T ADVANTAGEOUS
TO USE SMALLER FINDERS

ing gun is going to be heard above
to wood ship enthusiasts. when the
new Standardization gets under way.
That the wood yards are striving for
records Of their own in competition
with the steel workers is shown in the
constant clipping OF time required for
getting a new keel laid after launch
ins.
The irst fast work was done on the
Pacific Coast, with a keel laid in
twenty minutes after the Captainc
Guynemer had slid into the water.
The Atlantic coast then cut that to ten
minutes, at the yard OF the Founda-
tion Company, in Newark. and now the
palm is held by the Pacific Coast
again. the McEachern Ship Company,
at Astoria. Ore. having placed new
keel on the ways within five minutes
after a launching. This was done by
having new keel completed and in
readiness alongside the ways. with
plenty of workmen standing by to put
1t in place at once.
