WOODEN SHIPS NOW
HOLD REAL RECORD


Chicago, H., January 22.-Chicago
adherents to the wooden ship pro-
gram Of the United States govern
ment during the recently ended war
are highly elated for developments
in shipbuilding circles of the coun-
try as disclosed in the recent hear
ing before the Senate Commerce
Committee. What is called the "fail-
ure of the fabricated ship program
is decared to be only another evil
dence of the soundness of the theory
/ of the wooden ship advocates.
/ It will be recalled that Director
/ General Piez, of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, told the Senate
committee that the three government
fabricated shipbuilding' plants had
only delivered four ships up to the
time he was testifying. Three of
these, he said, were turned out by the
Hog Island yard and the fourth by
the Submarine Boat Corporations
plant at Port Newark, N. J. 1t seems
that the Merchants Shipbuilding
Corporation delivered no ships, and
that the Port Newark concern was to
have delivered 124 vessels by last
I-December, and the Merchants plant
twenty-four.
In contrast to this lac: OF perform
ance it is pointed out that the Ship
ping Board in its annua: report on
December Is, 1913, declared that
since August /, ''wood ship construc-
ton has averaged at least one com
pleted ready-for-service wood steam
shin calendar day." and predicted
the increase of this average.~
1.-THE wooden ship program" said
one prominent Great Lakes builder
TO-DAY, vigorously attacked more
than once during the shipbuilding
campaign, seems to have been vim
dicated by events. The fabricated
ship feature of the cargo ship pro-
gram was advertised extensively as
the one real bet of t4le government.
Wood, however, now holds the real
record"

Odd Filipino Custom,

Of the inherited rover spirit of the
wild people OF Davao and their belief
that the death of a member of the
family is indicative of the will of Allah
for them to change their homes. the
bureau of forestry says:
''When someone dies in the house
built on the lane or homestead given
to the head of the family, the entire
family viii move to some other place.
and in most cases the house is either
burned or torn down and the land on
which it was built is abandoned for
some years. A bird of the pigeon fam
fly. locally known as Alimukon. is the
common god or fortune teller of the
wild people of Davao. Unless this
bird answers favorably to their suppl
cations to go back 10 the old place.
their old abode or abodes are either
forever abandoned or left untouched
for many years"

GOOD HEALTH RULES FOR ALL
English People Have Many Ideas
Which 1t Would Be Well for
Americans to Copy.

One of the most popular forms of
food in England is cheese. This sup
plies highly concentrated protein
food which, when properly ripened and
masticated, is usually well assimilated
Not only does this food contain large
percentage of protein, but it also con-
tains fat and mineral salts. When
combined with bread, which is a carbo-
hydrate food. cheese makes an ideal
combination. supplying as it does all
the elements necessary for nourish-
ment-protein, fat. carbohydrate and
mineral salts.
Cheese and bread is a very popular
form of food in England and it is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco
nomical food, it is eaten to a larger
extent by the laboring classes, who,
owing to the sort Of work they do, re-
quire good tissue builder at a mod
crate price.
1t is well to remember that part of
the health of the English race is due
to the fact that the English life is an
outdoor life. and it is q very good
thing for us to profit by this and cul-
tivate at all times, in ourselves and in
our children. the habit of getting out
doors as much as possible

"ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT"
Phrase Is as True Today as When
Great Man Said 1t Many
Centuries Ago.

There is nothing however good but
a nerson may find some fault in it If
he is determined to do so. There is
nothing perfect that is of mans max
ing There is nothing that man orig
mates or performs but what contains
more or less of his weakness. Worth,
like water. must stay below the level
of its source. 1t is quite natural that
n person should dissent The sclen'
fists DISPUTE as much as the theoio-
CLANS. Every time one obtains new
standpoint he changes his opinion.
Every time he meets a friend he hnds
that he differs.
So we must make up our minds to
disagree but this disagreement may be
of advantage if we disagree in the
right spirit. If we don't do that ana
our disagreement falls into i'll will and
anxiety. then we become enemies or
the truth and social pests besides. The
nerson we earnestly and candidly dis
agree with may be right and ourselves
wholly wrong. 1t would make us feel
very absurd sometimes. in the midst
of a violent controversy, TO have sud
den light let in on the controversy ana
show our adversary entirely right. The
safest thing. so far as ones conduct
toward him is concerned, is to remem-
her he may be right and treat him ac-
cordingly.-Chio State Journal.

DIAMONDS HIDE IN AMERICA
Gems May One Day Be Mined on a
Large Scale in This Country,
Say Biologists.

Biologists. according to exchanges,
believe that some day DIAMONDS will
be mined on a very large scale in the
United States. They are confident
there are valuable diamond mines hid
den under this country, because many
loose diamonds have been found in
various sections. There must be par
ent lode, they say, and this is believed
to be in either the Rocky mountain or
Appalachian range. Regular diamond
chimneys, like those of South Africa,
were found in Arkansas in 1906 They
were filled with periodOdite. akin to
the faI0ous Kimberlite of South Africa.
A farmer in Indiana, blowing a
gravelly hillside, found the first dia-
mond in America in 1887. More than
20 diamonds have been found in In
diana in the last 20 years. and one
sold for $1,000. Other valuable dia-
monds have been found in Virginia,
North Carolina, Wisconsin, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama. Louisiana
Idaho Texas. Montana. Arizona and
California. A laborer working in an
excavation in Manchester, Va, found
a stone weighing 23A karats in 1855
Numerous stones, weighing from three
to 213s karats have been found in
Wisconsin.

DEAD BODY FOUND on
|. c. RIGHT OF WAY

The body Of a white man was
found by Perry Lee, track walker
for the Illinois Central railroad, one
mile north Of Lucy at 1850 o'clock
Sunday morning, with a bullet hole
in the right temple The body was
taken to Memphis and placed III the
morgue there to await Identification.
The only mark Of Identification on
Che body was a work card, which
bears the name of Charles c. Miller,
and certifies that Miller was employed
by the Mitchell Lumber company,
Harrison county. No state or date
was written on the card, and it never
was punched.
The man was about 80 years of
age, 5 feet inches high, and weigh
ed about 1870 pounds. The sum of
|$l97 was found in his pocket, also
ia bar Of soap, a spool of thread, a
comb and tube of shaving cream,
which bore the dealers name, w. b.
Nolen, Memphis.
Monday evenings Scimitar stated
that Sheriff Perry is making an m
vestigation to ascertain, ii possible,
il the man was murdered. Otis
Crenshaw, the deputy at Wilmington,
reported Monday morning that no
clue beyond the card to the identity Of
the man had been discovered and no
information as to any cause for ii
murder.
Esquire J. F. Williams, Of Milling
ton, held an inquest over the body
and the verdict of the jury was; "A
man unidentified came to his death
by pistol wound in the temple, in
flicted by a party or parties I'M
known"
There was no indication Of suicide,
as no pistol was near the body when
found.
