HARLAN PLANT is
BUSY DURING PEACE

An optimistic outlook is given by z.
3. German, general manager Of the
Harlan plant Of the Bethlehem Ship
luilding Corporation, in statement is
ued recently.
Everything is working finely" said
Mr.. German, land there is no reason TO
think business will not be good so long
as contracts continue TO come in. We
already have contracts for work several
months ahead, and there is no reason to
suppose more will not come in"
About 1000 men are now employed
Il the plant, and this number will not
&c reduced further, Mr.. German said.
This is the normal peace strength force
Of the plant, and as there seems TO be
plenty Of work in sight, there is no
reason why there should be a further
lay-off. One Of the large contracts re-
oeived by the plant recently was for
. large boilers for the Standard Oil
company.
A contract for the conversion Of a
coal burning ship as an oil burner has
been received.
Conversion OF so many ships TO an oil
burning basis in place Of coal shows, II
is explained, the general tendency OF
ship owners TO provide for any posi-
bility Of shortage in coal. The move is
not a new one, however. Many ships
on the Pacific coast for many years
having been built 10 consume oil for
fuel in place OF coal The change is
consequently not necessarily on ac-
count OF the anticipated shortage in
coal at this time, but a glance into the
future. when it is expected oil will be
used more largely than now for ship
fuel

entered her home with the owner
kew and dispOssessed her, she asserts.

of her belongings and raised the money
One OF the little Wintner girls said

tablets and given them to another 1T
tie girl whom she named. Her elders
reproved her for this. saying she was
not sure OF Il, and she must not say
things about people unless she was
sure OF what she said.
Certainly Mrs. WINNER is facing seri-
Gus difficulties and hardship. There
will be a hearing before magistrate
