~Have Made History"

I'VE have made history today, con-
tinued Mr.. Livingstone. The launch
| ing of the Gunston Hall not only
marks the beginning OF the construc
tion of ships by this corporation but
marks as well milestone for Alcxan-
dria and is a notable victory of peace"
Mr.. Livingstone paid q tribute to
each oficer Of the corporation. He
said that C. w. Morse, the chairman OF
\ the board of directors. was the father
of the plan, the creator of the organi-
| zation. He spoke in glowing terms OF
! "our. magnanimous. unseifish and able
board of directors"
| Mr.. Livingstone explained that the
yards have capacity for one ship a
! month equal in size to the Gunston
| Hall and already has contracts for
| twelve steel cargo vessels. He de-
| clared that the yards were not built
merely to meet war demands. but
were established as q permanent
q great feet would be sent to the
outside world in the near future.
MI. Hurley Sends Letter.
Chairman Hurley of the United
States Shipping Board wrote a letter
which was read at the luncheon in the
| commissary after the launching cere-
mony. Mr.. Hurley called attention to
the fact that this is not Alexandria's
\
than eighty years ago considerable
wooden ship construction was done in
| that city.
The restoration of this industry in
this place is typical Of the marine
| regeneration of the United States as
a whole" wrote Mr.. Hurley. I'VE are
going to have larger one and 1t is
| going to carry our goods to our Gus
| toners in all parts of the globe. This
company has other vessels under con-
| tract and each one of them will be
| equally an accretion to the American
| merchant marine as this one"
| c. w. Morse, chairman of the board
| of directors, said the future would
| demonstrate that boats could be built
! as efficiently and as cheaply at Alex
| andria as they are constructed in
| Great Britain.
I'VE need no longer fear competi-
| ton with foreign powers" said Mr..
Morse. I'VE are going to have an
American merchant marine that is
able to compete with the rest of the
world. and / am sure Alexandria
| will make big contribution to it,
4o2 Feet 6 inches Long.
The Gunston Hall is 4o2 feet and

LAUNCH BIG SHIP
At ALEXANDRIA

sci, Goes Down the Ways

HUGE CROWD is PRESENT

Majestically. and without a hitch.
the Gunston Hall, the mother of what
is expected to be a big feet of steel
cargo vessels, all of which. like her
self. will be built at the shipyards
of the Virginia Shipbuilding Cor
poration at Alexandria, slipped down
the ways into the waters of the Po-
tomac yesterday.
Bands played, sirens shrieked and
flags flew to the breeze, announcing
that the 9,4o0-ton oil-burning vessel
was ready to receive it's official name.
Exactly at o'clock Mrs. B. w. Morse,
wife of the vice president of the COM
pany. said:
Il christen thee Gunston Hall"
Then she broke a bottle of cham
pagne over the bow of the big vessel
Takes Water Easily.
All physical obstacles to her prog
ress had been removed and the Gun
ston Hall took to the water as though
she felt 1t to be her natural element.
An immense emblage witnessed
the launching. Some climbed to the
tops Of houses to get a better view.
Thousands of persons went from
Washington to attend the function.
The road to Alexandria was lined
with automobiles, which gave an ap-
pearance of an organized parade, ex-
tending almost the entire distance
between the two cities
Representative c. c. aCrlin, who is
known the godfather of the move
ment because he is regarded as chiefly
responsible for the establishment of
the plant in Alexandria, delivered
speech in which he said that the
company was only beginning to build
ships.
Virginia, Alexandria and the whole
nation should be congratulated on the
| initial success of this great enter
prise" Mr.. Carlin said. ITO estab-
iish a great shipbuilding industry in
the town where Washington used to
worship was grand thought. 1t
should prove an inspiration to this
kind of effort wherever in this coun-
try it is attempted. A few years ago
nobody would have had the temerity
TO predict that today a great steel,
oil-burning ship would be launched
from here
Mr.. Livingstone Gives History.
Colin H. Livingstone of this city,
tory of the Gunston Hall and the
events leading up to it's construction.
Mr.. Livingstone said that the spot
upon which the plant was built was
a little more that year ago a stretch
of waste. marshy land. the most unin-
viting place that any person could
pick out as the site for a great mod
ern industry.
American pluck, energy and faith
had overcome the physical obstacles
and had converted the waste ground
into something that was capable OF

which followed" he said.
Work was begun on the plant early
IN February a year ago" continued
Mr.. Livingstone. TT was then a waste
of marsh land in what is known as
Battery cove. The yard has forty-ffve
acres under inclosure. On account of
its character every substantial struc-
ture had to be built on piles"
Mr.. Livingstone said new record
had been made in the building of ship
yards and in the launching of ships
when the Gunston Hall was propelled
into the Potomac.

New Tax on Vehicles Suggested

The suggestion has been made and It
has gained considerable support thruout
the county of asking the present leeisla-
ture to pass special law for this
county which would levee tax on every
vehicle used on the public roads Of the
county, the money 30 raised to be used
on road building and maintainance in
this county.
The suggestion is to ask the legisla-
ture to enact special law levyinR tx
Of 81 on each buggy. 81 on each two
horse wagon or other two horse venicle,
and SIS on each 10y wagon, all the fund
thus raised to be used on the county
roads, the idea being that many owners
of these vehicles do not own lands or
personally on which they a taxed
and hence do not pay penny of the.
money that goes to build and keep the
roads up. 1t is pretty safe to say that
half of the people Of this county who
own buggies and wagons do not pay
penny of the road tax, and the purpose
of those suggesting the new law Is that
every body uses the roads and every
body should help to keep them up. A
tax similar to this already levied by
state Law on all motor drawn vehicles,
and the new law would make the bur-
der of road expense reach everyyshiele
used on the roads.
The matter has been discussed with
Senator Summers and he says he would
use his efforts to have enacted If he 10
shown that the people want it. other
wise he would not. Representative
Wells will be consulted by interested
parties before his return to Nashville.
but he is expected to take the same
position as that taken bv Senathr Sum-
mers. So that the disposition of the
suggested legislation is in the hands
of the people of the county II they
want It, speak for it, IL they do not
want 1t let it be known.

Alb out Those Implements OF Yours

The extensive use of labor-saving
farm implements has made it possible
for the American farmer to produce
more per man than any farmer in the
world.
Success in farming depends largely
upon the wise use of up-to.da machine.
ry, No wares bought by the farmer
bring more profitable returns than well
chosen (and wisely used) farm machine
ry.
On every hand. however. is evidence
of criminal neglect or this important
part of farm equitment. Binders are
put away for the winter under the old
apple tree; haying machinery is pro-
tected from the elements only by a wire
or rail fence; cultivstors, harrows, etc.
are left in the field whore last used.
Millions of dellars are lost each year
thru neglect and thoughtfulless. Few
machines in Tennessee wear out. They
rust and rot away.
Begin now by cleaning off all rust
and dirt. Give list Of all broken and
worn parts to your dealer so there will
pc no waiting for repairs later. To pre-
vent breakages, tighten all loose bolts
aud screws and replsce the missing ones.
Paint adds to the life as well as to the
appearance Of machinery.
