BICLAUNCHINC
 OF SHIPPING AT OAKLAND

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 27-Six steel vessels, totaling nearly 60,000 tons were launched into Oakland Inner Harbor today in space of less than an hour-the largest number of ships and the greatest tonnage ever set afloat on one tide in the history of shipbuilding.
 The nearest approach to this, the worlds record, was when Hog Island sent five vessels into the water on May 30, last, totaling 39,0O0 tons. !.
 The sextuple launcH;ng was made the even of countrywide celebra tion under the auspices of the Oak. land Chamber of Commerce. Ten thousand invitations were sent out to federal, state, county and city off cials and distinguished personages but as the gates were thrown open to the public it is estimated that sev. eral times that number were present. The crowd is said to have been a record breaker also in the witnessing of launching.
 Admirals, generals and high off, cers of the Marines, with their staffs were special guests, as were members of the consular corps and officials of the United States Shipping Board. Six bands, one of each vessel, furn- ished the music.
 The first ship to go "overboard' was the Salina, 10000 ton tanker, named after the city in Kansas as a reward for it's subscriptions in the Victory Loan.
 At ten minute intervals the Jane- law, cargo boat christened by Mrs. F. s. Moore, of San Francisco. and the Sapula, another Victory Loan ship, christened by Mrs. J. w. Hoover, of Oklahoma city, took the water
 Miss Natalie Byington of Reno, Ne vada, sponsored the City of Reno, another Victory Loan ship, and this was followed by the MoselIa and the Jalapa, for which the sponsors were respectively Mrs. J. A. Moore and Mrs. George Armes of San Francisco.
 At the Hotel Oakland, following the parade, a luncheon was served in honor of the sponsors and the distin- guished guests.

ALASKA BUREAU OF SEATTLE CHAMBER WILL
 AID THIS TERRITORY

To aid in the solution of problems affecting transportation, fisheries and industrial development of Alaska, the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club, i has appointed official committees to k make study of these matters to de- wise means of bettering present con- ditions. Tn committees named fol low:
 Transportation-A. w. Leonard, chairman George Albers, E. G. An derson, R. w. Baxter, E. R. Burwell, N. Eckstein, James Griffiths, A.. F. Haines, J. T. Heffernan, Omar J. Humphrey, J. L. McPherson, J. C.. Lang, T. s. Lippy, L. B. Peoples. J. B. Powles and E. c. Ward.

 The only large construction project on which the United States govern ment is actively engaged in this so- termed construction period is the Alaska railroad. The railroad when completed will reduce costs of trans portation throughout a large portion of Alaska, but tEfs alone will not tend to the development of the coun- try and the success of the project, it is urged by the bureau. The estab- lishment of local industries must be encouraged, not only in the region tributary to the railroad, but through out all sections of Alaska; settlers must be aided during the pioneer nonproductive period and improved water transportation and mail com dit.ons provided that will attract the pioneer type of citizenship to Alaska says the bureau.

The strongest testimonial to the
Red Cross abroad l have ever heard
was given my recently by captain OF
the American army just returned
from France. He said that without
qualification the work of the Red
Cross among the soldiers was always
good Whatever they attempted to
do they did perfectly.
They followed the soldier to the
front and supplied him freely and
|graciously with everything they had.
Their hospitals were the best; boys
leaving them said they were superior
to the army hospitals. Every girl or
yoman in their service abroad was
equal to her task; she was kind and
friendly without undue familiarity.
sensible, capable, and knew her bust
ness. C"Efficient" was the word he
used, but 1t has come to have a SIMS
ter sound and don't like It. 1t must
be cleared of its German association
before it is fit for polite societyD
This strong, unequivocal language
from one of our own men whose very
rank entities him to credit is COM
fort and inspiration. 1t not only
settles the value of our work in the
past, but justifies and requires us to
continue to trust the judgment and
wisdom of our organization for the
future. In short, If the Red Cross
tells us to knit garments for the
Children of France and Belgium, we
know it is necessary work and we Will
do il without further question.

bility Mrs. Powell writes:
Beyond the question of durability
the standards of criticism vary In diff
ferent departments. This is governed
largely by a consideration of who are
to wear the garments and what theil
wishes will be. While the sewing or
hospital garments will not be scruti
nized by the wearer, refugee gar
ments will receive minute examina
ton. This may not be a fault-ind
ing examination and recipients will re
ceive with gratitude even poorly made
garments, but nevertheless good worl
will be fully appreciated.
1--WE have an opportunity to no.
only clothe the bodies of the unfortu
nate but to cheer their hearts. A
carelessly made garment can never
convey a message of interest and at
lection nor should our pride permit
us to offer such"
Washington has requested tnat tht
refugee garment work be continued
at full speed for the next three
months to supplement work that Is
being done by the women in Europe
in their efforts to supply adequate
clothing. Every able-bOdied person
in the devastated district is doing
his or her utmost to prepare the fields
for the years crop.
It seems that the division has left
in its cutting department a quantity
of garments not called for by the
chapters, and we are asked. II we
will have time for more work than
that on hand. to receive some OF these
garments. So industriously have the
women of the chapter worked on
these refugee garments this winter
that it is possible we can undertake
some of this extra work.
