HOG ISLAND WAR EPIC,

Hog Island is an epic Of the war.
1t is the greatest shipbuilding, plant
in the world. Where it now stands
there was nothing in 1917. Nothing
but mud. The foundation places were
blasted out of frozen mud in the
winter. Victory could not wait for a
tl.aw--and besides, that whole winter
there was no thaw. Hog Island builds
ships as Ford builds automobiles-all
alike in every part on a quantity
basis. 1t builds fifty ships at one
time. The question now is: "Will it
be feasible to build ships in that man
ner for peace, or is Hog Island a pas
sing phenomenal war miracle?" The
answer would seem to depend upon
whether the shipping trade. of Amer
lea and other nations can be persuad-
ed to give up its love of special types
in ships. The ship factory, like any
other modern factory, depends for
quantity out put and econmoical pro-
ductionl upon the idea of Standard
zation. Hog Island, as builder of
many types Of ships, would be nothing
more than an aggregation of small
yards, which might save little in
overhead and in the concentration of
purchasing power, but would attain
nothing mc1iocrity in volume of out
put or cheapness Of production, Can
the world be persuaded to buy ships
as it buys automobiles +? That is. the
question. There is an ample market
for the 400, 900 or 100000 tons Of ships
that Hog Island can turn out yearly,

janitor, had started the elevator to
take him to an upper floor when an
explosion occurred beneath and in an
instant the framework of the shalt
burst into a blaze. Robinson was
caught in the elevator and only by al
most superhuman effort succeeded IN
breaking his way out and escaping
from the cage and making his way by
the stairway to the ground floor and
out of the building, accompanied by
his wife. The flames mouted to ana

A general alarm was responded TO
by the department promptly and the

scaled the fire escapes with the hose

Of vantage with the result that the
building was saved from what at first
appeared certain destruction.

The same old press agent stuff is
being put out again about Darges
coming to the upper Mississippi river
to trade this summer.
In previous years, there was \
flood of important if true news sent
out about ste 81 barges that were
going to make trips to carry much
freight. After the newspapers we're
flooded with this sort of dispatches
from down the river, bacse came
up. tied up over by the power house
for short time and then went away.
Just now secretaries of chambers Of
commerce are receiving letters that
four new, modern, steel towboats, Of
i 800 horsepower, each costing $780,
600, and nineteen new barges, will
be in operation in the upper Missis-
sippi by September %. The letters
are signed by J. e. Smith, president
of the Mississippi Valley Waterways
association.
Refuse to BE stampeded.
Upper Mississippi waterways men,
of years of experience and study Of
river transportation. say they place
little confidence In the news recently
sent out
A contract was very recently
awarded for four such tugboats, but
work on them has not started yet.
1t was clearly shown at the con-
vention at st. Louis, attended by the
Keokuk city council and others, that
the government is going to boost
river transportation in the upper
Mississippi-and made equally clear
that the boats will land only at those
cities which have built modern power
docks of concrete with travelling
cranes and derricks, operating over
the boats and over railroad tracks
running into the dock warehouse.
Must Have Dock First.
The key to the river traffic is such
a power dock. The boats can easily
navigate in the river, but today it
costs too much to load and unload
them and transfer freight to and
from railroad cars.
When the new government con-
trolled river traffic does make the
upper Mississippi lively again, keo--
kuk will be part of the plan, If she
has a power dock by that time. In
the upper river, from st. Louis to
st. Paul, are nineteen cities on the
government traffic map.
These are Rock Island, Moline,
Davenport, ST. Paul, Muscatine, Gin,
ton, Burlington, Keokuk, Dubuque,
Quincy, Andalusia, Grafton and AL.

six cities, st. Louis, Mo-; Memphis,

THE BONDAGE OF BARRARa.'

A smashing climax involving Mae
Marsh In a decidedly different role Ii
the feature of the stars newest Gold
wyn picture, THE Bondage of Bar
bara." which comes to the Ely theatre
tonight.
Miss Marsh in boys clothes climbs
up to the attic of a ~roadhouse, where
her brother is kept a prisoner. He
has been placed there by the men re-
sponsible for a theft, which Barbara
has paid for with a year of her life
in the reformatory. She takes her
brother place and induces him to go
to the district attorney and explain
everything.
When his captors find her they seek
TO hurry her out of the place. 1t is
then that Miss Marsh puts up a night
such as will amaze the admirers of
the erstwhile portrayer of altogether
feminine types. She proves a match
for the two men. her struggle being
brought to an end only by the arrival
OF those cognizant OF her plan to
bring the criminals 10 justice.
The charm of The Bondage OF
Barbara Is manifested In Miss
Marsh's mimic home. her devotion TO
her brother and the love scenes with
her lawyer sweetheart, all of which
blend into an unusually vital photo
drama.
