SH|PYARO LAUNCHES
LAST HULL MONDAY
BIG SLOAN PLANT HAS BUILT 12
SHIPS SINCE ESTABLISHMENT
FUTURE UNCERTAIN.

The "Dacula," the last hull at the
Sloan Shipyards and the twelfth to
be sent down the ways at the local
yard, was launched at 7:30 Monday
evening, with Miss Ruth Peters,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Peters
OF this city. as sponsor. A big crowd
watched the launching, which went
through on schedule.
There arc two moro hulls on the
ways. but the contracts for these were
cancelled a couple of months ego and
have not been reinstated. though it
is thought their construction may still
be resumed.
The keel of the first vessel in the
yard was laid March 26, 1917, and
since then the company has delivered
four motorships to the Australian
government, five steamers to the
Emergency Fleet corporation and two
to the Seattle drydocks. Five of
them were completed and outfitted
here. as was also one from the sub
sidiary yard at Anacortes.
What will be done with the yard
when the government finishes its work
the latter part of this month, is still
unknown, Manager ]. d. Kuhns says.
He thinks there is "a splendid oppor-
tunity for some local concern to take
hold of the yard and convert it into
a concrete shipbuilding plant. for
nearly all the necessary equipment is
here and the location is ideal"
Though concrete ships are in their in
fancy. Manager Kuhns believes they
are the coming merchant ships of the
world because they are larger,
quicker, cheaper to build than others,
and much more durable"

With fresh fruit in plenty the
housekeeper's problem of what to
serve for dessert should not prove
difficult. She can take vacation
from dessert making and at the same
time serve her family with delicious,
refreshing desserts. Make the most
of the fresh fruit while it is in sea,
son. All ripe fruit contains sugar
and by using it the craving for sweets
cane sugar. The family will be bet
ter off without rich desserts for a
time.
What better dessert is needed than
a slice of cold watermelon or a half
of a delicious cantaloupc? 1t is mere
custom that makes people feel that a
bowl of fresh fruit-pears, peaches,
or plums--are not as good served in
their native state for dinner as they
are for breakfast. A return to
simpler desserts would be of advan-
tage both from a dietetic and eco

Harry Evans Of Tenino, who was
arrested by Game Warden King last
week for shooting bear out OF sea-

In view of what were considered

of which 1.179 are juvenile and 2,975
are for adults. During the year 1873
books have been worn out and with
drawn.
Eight newspapers and 43 period
icals are received by the library.
Patrons may take from the library
all but current numbers of the mag
azines. There are now 3,349 bor-
rowers. of whom 1866 have regis
tered during the year.
Increased use of library facilities
Is shown by the fact that in spite of
the closing of the building for six
weeks during the influenza epidemic
the circulation increased to 26.317.

by adults and 8.249 by children.
