the large hammer being used for
heavy riveting, the medium for
lighter work and the smallest ones
for corking and chipping. These
are the three hammers mostly used
for the construction of ships. The
pneumatic hammers are operated
by compressed air, using a pres
sure of $50 pounds to the square
inch, and by means of a small
throttle, conveniently set in the
handle of the hammer, the opera
tor by pressing this throttle down
with the thumb will cause a small
valve to open, letting the air into
a chamber in which is a small
plunger; this plunger is kept we'll
fabricated and fits snugly in the
hammer. In size, the plunger in
a large hammer is about 5 inches
long and II inches in diameter.
When driving a rivet about one
fourth pressure is used to start
shaping the rivet head, and as the
rivet draws to a head full pressure
is put on, causing the plunger to
strike the die about 1900 times a
minute and driving a a-inch rivet
in about 80 seconds. Thus is briefly
described the pneumatic hammer.
To finish the keel, 1 will but say
that several crews are at work on
this particular part, driving the
heavy rivets used to assemble the
large girders as we'll as on the bot
tom framing and the ribs. When
the ship is completed to this point
you have what may be termed as
the skeleton. l will proceed and
complete the ship as far as neces-
sary and launch her.
Stanchions are erected and made
fast to the bottom framing. On
top of these cross-beams are laid
and made fast to the tops of the
stanchions and to the heavy angle
irons or ribs. Decks are erected
in this manner, until the main deck
is reached. The ribs do not ex.
tend beyond the main deck. Stan
chions are used to support the re-
naming decks to be built. By
laying the main deck plates you
have the main deck partly COM
pleted. These large plates are riv.
eted to the cross-beams, using
counterfeit rivets. The deck plates
used for covering the bilge are not
riveted, so that when the bilge
needs cleaning or coat of red
lead the plates are easily removed
and the necessary work done.
These plates are good deal small
er than the ones used for the main
deck. Any one man can easily re-
move them, as they are but 81 feet
by 2 feet wide and S-inch thick,
where the main deck plates are
laid with the use of a derrick.

from the Turks. thev

0SsekS29HEN captured Damascus
'lQSz2D from the Turks, they
took what is called the ''oldest
city in the world" The claim is
based upon frequent mention in
the Old Testament-where it is re-
ferred to, by various names that
serve to identify it, and in the New
Testament. Josephus afirms that
it was founded by Uz, the son of
Aram, who gave to the region the
name of Syria, which it has re-
tanned to this dav.
Damascus was f1ourishing trade
center in Abraham's time. One
of the earliest novels" in all litera-
ture equally so whether true or
fancifuD is the story of the Jewish
maid taken captive by Naaman, a
Syrian general I'll Kings). Naa-
man was leper. but the captive
suggested getting the advice of a
prophet at Samaria. He did so,
but when told to bathe in the
Jordon he was vexed, saying that
plenty of water existed nearer
home. However, he did 60 to the
Jordon and was cleansed. Good
story.
If you doubt it. the next time
you visit Damascus any of the old
inhabitants will point out Naaman's
house.
Elisha figures in the early his
tory of Damascus. Ben-hadad
(946 B. c., at a guess), a king of
Damascus, was murdered. and the
assassin improved conditions SO
greatly that king killing became
popular. The king of Judea re-
sented the success of the upstart
monarch and, with the help of the
ruler of Assyrla. took the city and
killed it's ruler. This made good
a prediction of Isaiah.
The early prophets appear to
have had it i'm for the people of
Damascus; they spent a great deal
of time in prophesying i'll of that
city. And bad cess to their activi-
ties, most of their predictions came
true.
The city was under the sway of
Assyria for nearly 1000 years-a
mere episode in its history. Its
people first awakened when the
Romans under Pompey moved in,
about 81 B. G.. Herod had con-
troversies with the Syrian rulers
in which he came off second best.
It is in New Testament times
that one seems to be brought into
most intimate touch with Damas-
Gus. The memorable journey of
St. Paul to the city of Jerusalem,
and all that happened during and
after it; the street which is called
Straight the house of Judas; the
visit of Ananias; the subsequent
preaching of St. Paul in the syna-
gogues; the plots to kill him, and
his escape from the city by night,
are all names and incidents familiar
to Christians the world over. It
was to Damascus, too, that St.
Paul returned after his three
years. sojourn in the wilderness,
and in no other period in it's long
history does the ancient city on
the banks of the Abana seem to
come so clearly into view.
Later on, under Trajap, Damas-
Gus became a Roman provincial
city, and, on the establishment of
Christianity, the seat of a bishop,
who ranked next in authority after
the patriarch of Antioch. Even
when this point is reached, a
wealth of history still lies ahead:
There is the great story of Damas-
Gus under the kaliffs, and of it's
many trials which followed the re-
moval of the kalifate to Bagdad;
of the coming of the Egyptians,
the Carmathians, and the Seljuks;
of the campaions and miohty con-

 Ball Games to Wind up On
 As a wind up of the afternoons program there will be a grand ball game between the War Vets and the Phoenix White Sox. It is rumored that the Vets have some new material and that there has been some reorganiza- tion which ought to result in a sur prise to the public. Everyone knows how evenly these teams are matched and expects a close contest. From every indication it promises to he a pitchers battle and a good one, too. The officials of the afternoon are as follows:
 Field manager, It. c. M Carpenter. Starter, C. A. Venne.
 Judges, c. L. Michaels, Claude Thompson, Cpl. Rosenhauer.
 Manager boxing, Sgt. c. H. Young. Manager baseball, A. C. Pinney.
 Clerk, Sgt. J. W. Ogg.
 A large number of etnries are de- sired for these events to make things so with 8 bang. Every sprinter should be out after his share of the money. Those desiring to compete should enter their names with the clerk of the field that afternoon. A place will be pro- vided for dressing at the park, should anyone desire to use it.
 The prizes will be awarded imme- diately at the close of the contest. Everybody should come out and wit ness this program. Any one event will be worth your while. Turn out and
 
 again,
 CoIored Men Not Forgotten
 The men who went from Phoenix to join the colored regiments in the war have not been forgotten. They will have their part in the parade and in the celebration at Eastlake Park, with their own people. Possibly the greatest fea- lure for them, however, will be a special evening entertainment. to be held under authorization of the gen eral committee. It will be at Irvine Park, in the southwestern part of the city, with oratory, music, dancing and refreshments.
 The Committee Chairman of the general committee for the day is A A. (Harvey) Betts, who is in special charge of the exer- cises at the Park
