EIGHT SHIP BOARD MEN
TO LEAVE OFFICE MAY |
Director Fez, One of Number, Has
Accomplished Much During War
and in Later Task.

Eight administrative officials of the
United States Shipping Board Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation are to re-
tire May 1. They are: Charles Piez, di-
rector general and general manager,
who returns to Chicago, where he is
president of the Link Belt Company of
Philadelphia and Chicago
Howard Coon1ey, vice president IN
charge of administration, who returns
to Boston, where he rs president Of
the WaiWorth Man nufactnring Com
pany.
Admiral n. H Rousseau, head of the

director general
Daniel H Cox, head Of the ship con-
struction division.
Gordon Wilson, general auditor.
R. w. Leatherbee. head Of the indus
tran relations division
M D. Ferris, head Of the contract
division.
Director General Piez came to the
feet in the fall of 1917. One of his
big achievements was the distribution
! of both labor and materials to the 1856
shipyards of the country. Under his
| direction came the rapid expansion
| of the fleet to meet the war emergency,
and it's rapid contraction to meet ar
| mistice conditions was accomplished
without serious friction in this ma
tion-wide organiZation-altho the
expansion meant growth from 81
yards, with>72 ways. to 1856 yards, with
! 89S ways, and although the contrac-
ton involved $500, 100000 in contract
| suspensions and cancellations.

NEW SECTION TO DISPOSE
OF sHIPYARD INTERESTS
B. E. Grant. Engineer, Put in
Charge of Work by Emergency
Fleet Corporation.

For the orderly and economic dis
posal of millions of dellars' worth
of shipping interests built up during
the war by the government, a new
section of the E. ergency Fleet Cor
poration has been created by Di-
rector General Piez.
This is to be known as the plant
disposal section, with b. T.. Grant,
engineer Of the shipyard plants di-
vision, in charge. Sale of the cor
poration's interests in wood yards,
concrete yards, steel yards and fab
ricating plants will be effected under
Mr.. Grants direction, with a view
to putting the immense shipbuilding
plants into private hands as going
concerns, so they may continue for
the benefit of the economic welfare
of the communities in which they
are located.
Termination of the war brought
about cancellation of contracts with
wood yards. and these will be the
first interests to be placed on the
market by the new section In some
Instances, the wood yards will be
turned over to private owners, who
plan to manufacture wooden barges
and tugboats-
Steel yards that are placed on the
market will be sold to individuals
who desire to continue building ships.

culiarly appropriate and at the same
time one of the most effective of any

more startling in its accomplish

water and no one is in d position to
see and appreciate it except disap-
pointed fish or prey. Place d chame-
leon on green leaf, and in a few
seconds 1t is as green as the leaf it
SELF. Put 1T on greyish-brown trunk
or branch, and almost instantly it
adapts its own colors to that of it's
surroundings. In fact most people
are familiar with the story of the
champion which was placed by it's
boastinS owner on a piece of Scot
tlsh clan tartan and expired in the
attempt to make good.
That the chameleon is an obvious
and happy choice for camouflage
troops is evidenced by the fact that
the big French Camoufiage Corps has
adopted the same animal for it's
badge. In the latter it is bent al
most nose to tail and is contained
within circle. Suggestions for the
badge of thos now famous American
regiment (for there was but the one
regiment, divided among different
combat branches as needed) were
asked for from the entire personnel
of the unit, and the device adopted
was submitted by one of the enlisted
men.

Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
ETERNAL YOUTH.

Playmates of the long ago,
Comrades whom l used to know,
Romping, still as once you were
Where the brown-eyed daisies stir,
L have changed and withered sere;
1 have journeyed, year by year,
Growing old and turning gray.
Coming to the downward way,
Battered by the storms of life,
Strained and wearied by the strife.
But you've kept your youth and know
All the charms OF long ago.
| can hear when nights are still
Every CHEEKY whistle shrill
Calling me to share your play;
Never comes summer day
But the dusty lanes / tread
Bare of foot and bare of head
One among you, as Of old,
Strong, adventurous and bold.
And this old man in his dreams,
Tired of sordid plans and schemes,
Slips away to be with you,
Gay1y, as he used to do.
Playmates of the long ago,
Sleeping where the daisies grow,
In those long remembered years.
When l shed my boyish tears,
Little did know the truth,
Yours was everlasting youth;
have lived and stood to pain
Like building splashed by rain;
| have seen my glory fade
With the changes time has made,
But your beauty shows no scar
Radiantfy young you are!
You have never shed a tear,
Ne'er been wounded by a sneez,
Never suffered, never wept
All the charms of youth you've kept
Glorious playmates that l knew,
Often l have rornped with you,
Shared tho Mo
In our boyhood's month of May, -
Come back, with the trees in bloom
And recalled you from the tomb
Finding you, with cheeks ag1ow,
Just as in the Long Ago

Maj. r. n. Aliens Treatment of
Battle Crippled Soldiers Has
Most Gratifying Results.

Surgical science in the general and
broad scope of its application and en-
deavor in the work of reconstruction
of the battle-crippled soldier-patlents
at Walter Reed Army Hospital has
been materially advanced recently
through the efforts and experiments of
Maj. r. H. Allen of the Medical Corps
of the big institution
In the new experiment work MAJ
Allen has applied a treatment for the
restoration of crippled hands, bring
ing back to normal usefulness that
under ordinary conditions and treat
ment would be useless.
The treatment is fully described IN a
booklet just issued from the pen OF
Maj. r. w. Shufeldt of the Medlcai
Corps and is described as one of the
many useful methods produced by MAI.

Treatment Is Unique.

the restoration of the crippled mana
that has been injured by she'll, bullets
or otherwise, where the major part
of the member has not been shot away.
and in cases where there is de1orm-
ity, is unique. but at the same time
based upon a well known prlnclple
that the exercise or continued use OF
any portion of the anatomy is neces-
sary to keep the part in usefulness.
Experiments have demonstrated the
practicability of the treatment and
it is being extensively applied at the
hospital The first tests were made
on six of the patients with crippled
hands and the result has been more
than satisfactory and demonstrates
it's practicability in giving to the
wounded or crippled patient the use
of his former disabled hand, or hands.

made of plaster of paris, mold IS
made of some soft but firm substance
like gelatine. This cast is placed IN
the palm of the crippled hand. CIV
ing the patient the opportunity OF
grasping and exercising the fingers
in time the muscles of the fingers
gradually begin to be restored to
their usefulness and the crippled
hand develops grasp that makes
the hand useful and normal. The
mold can be carried in the hand
without inconvenience and unnoticed
as the patient moves about The nat
ural instinct of the muscles of the
hand and fingers continually grasp
ing the mold gives the necessary
exercise that brings the usefulness
of the hand back.
