HOW A SHIPS TONNAGE
is FIGURED FOUR WAYS

The Shipping Board authorizes the
following:
To many persons who are not ex-
perienced shipbuilders the various
uses of the term tonnage" in re-
lation to the size Of a ship may be
confusing. The following article
from the "Pusey & Jones Shipbuild-
er" explains the terms well and
makes a clean distinction between
the various ways in which they are
used:
There are four kinds of tonnage
in use in shipping circles. They are
gross tonnage, net registered ton
mage, lightweight carrying capacity
and displacement.
Dead-weight tonnage is what the
vessel actually can carry in tons Of
heavy carap, plus stores and bunker
coal.
Gross tonnage is based on the
cubic contents Of the hull, with GER
tain arbit1ar spaces deducted, and
has little bearing on the cargo-carry-
ing capacity of the vessel.
Net registered tonnage IS gross
tonnage, with certain allowances for
crew space and machinery space de-
Quoted, and has little bearing on the
dead weight carrying capacity of the
vessel.
Displacement is the total weight
of the vessel when full of cargo
that is, the weight of her hull plus
her lightweight tonnage.
In round numbers ship of 5000
tons lightweight would stand about
as follows:
Dead-weight carrying capacity 5000
Gross tonnage ............. 5000
Net registered =. 5000
Displacement .12, 900

housewives for home use will release
an equal quantity of commercially
canned goods for export, and there
will also be saved the labor, the space
on freight cars, and the cost of trans
portation that would mount up If
factory preserved foods had to be
scattered broadcast throughout the
country, instead of being stripped in
large blocks to cantonements or
abroad"
There will be no searching Of pre-
serve closets. The Food Administra-
ton wants them filled and overflow
ing with the products of the house
wife's industry so that the output OF
the canning factories may be shipped
to our starving allies and to our
army camps here and abroad. The
administration further announces
that "home canned and preserved
goods can not be purchased or ac-
copied as gifts for the army or navy"
because of the difficulties of inspec-
ton and the necessity of uniformity
in containers, by which shipping
space is economical. ''The Ameri-
cain housewife is urged to can and
preserve every ounce of fruit and
vegetables that she can lay her hands
on" the Food Administration says,
"but her product must be reserved
for civilian USE" She can not even
give it to the government.

WAR PIE
CONSERVATION

Every home and every army agrees that
man must have balanced meal, with a good
dessert, either at home or in army rations.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't
economic in desserts these days.
You should and you can.
NONE SUCH Mince Pie is very real des-
sert-none better. And None SUCH pack
age of Mince Meat works out the economy
of pies, cakes, buildings, and cookies.
None SUCH is economical, because its
condensed form and parafin-lined package
prevent waste.
1t costs only few cents and is cheaper
than bulk mnce meat bough, by the pound.
NONE SUCH MlNcE MEAT is made from
the very best ingredients. Just what you
would use if you were making it yourself,
and it comes to you cheaper than you could
make it yourself.
A package of None SUCH Mince Meat
becomes three times the package weight
when the moisture in making is added.
Bake None SUCH War Pie "a regular
Mince Pie with no top crust. That saves
-four, shortening, labor, and expense. A
NONE SUCH War Pie saves and consrrves,
as we are asked to do by the U. S. Food
Administration.

practically every appointee to the diff

Names of two of the men who hold

formation came in wireless message
from the Prospero to John Crosbie

ship reported she embarked the sur.

Three rescue ships brought the first
batch of survivors to port and others
are on the way. Among the survivors
are five saloon and seven steerage
passengers.
One hundred and one persons have
persisted, from among the passengers
and crew Of the ship, according to
word reaching here. This places the
death list higher than statements
made by the owning company-the
Red Cross line-which stated that 1856
were aboard the Florizel.
Wrecked Through Treachery.
1t is believed the steamer was
wrecked through German treachery.
