z .2BATTLECRU|SERS
TO Be BUILT HERE
Construction of Giant Warships
to Provide Work for Many
at Navy Yard
S24,O 100000 COST OF EACH

Keels for two giant battlecruisers
will soon be laid in the Philadelphia
Navy Yard. The vessels are to be
larger, faster and will carry far more
deadly armaments than any cruiser now
afloat, according to naval officers. Hun :
dreds of additional shipbuilders will be
employed at the yard to complete them.
The cruisers will be S74 feet long and
100 feet wide. They Will draw thirty
one feet of water and have a displace-
ment of 800 tons each. They will
have oil burning engines and be capable
of speed Of more than thirty three
knots an hour.
Each vessel will have four armored
turrets in which eight sixteen inch 90
caliber guns will be mounted. Both
cruisers will have secondary batteries
of sixteen six Inch 80 caliber guns and
will be equipped with fou: three inch
90 -calber anti aircraft guns. Each
cruiser will have eight twenty one inch
torpedo tubes.
Neither Of the new vessels will carry
any armor except on the turrets, as
speed will be relied upon to protect the
ships from hostile guns. According to
naval authorities here. the cruisers will
represent the last word in naval con-
struction, being far superior in every
way to any ships of their class pos
sessed by any navy In the world.
The cruisers will carry crews of sew
enty commissioned officers, sixty four
petty officers. 500 enlisted men and sew
enty five marines, making total Of
1920.
No construction on such scale has
ever been attempted at the Philadelphia

"The school inspectors are woefully
short handed. The state law requires
that every school child should receive
medical inspection ut least once each
year, but in this city we have been for
tunate IL we can inspect them once
every two years. We have requested
the Board Of Education to give us four
teen more inspectors, seventeen nurses
and five additional medical supervisors
that we may comply with the law, but
so far they have taken no action.
There are many children going to
school today who have never been medi-
cally inspected and they may have dis
eases that are dangerous to those about
them. 1t is a serious problem that con-
fronts us but the parent of the child
Just beginning can materially help IL
they will only take the proper precau-
tions."
A recent investigation made by the
White Williams Foundation, an organ.
ization that looks after the welfare OF
school children from sociological
standpoint, has brought out that of
sixty two average children examined in
the kindergarten and first grade, fifty
two were found physically defective.
The ages of the children were from
five to nine, and twenty nine were
found to have hypertrophied tonsils and
adenoids. seventeen were suffering from
malnutrition. and sixteen needed dental
attention, while eight had defective
eyes. The rest had defects of the skin,
eyes. glands, kidneys and heart. In
order to secure correction Of the de-
fects social worker visited the homes
and explained to the parents the seri-
BUSINESS of the defects. Due to her eff
forts there were thirty one Of the chill
dren medically attended and cured. In
visiting these families, the worker found
forty one other children. many not yet
of school age, requiring medical atten-
ton.
In like manner in the Lee Special
School. out Of sixty five boys known
to the worker. fifty five were found to
be physically defective, with under
nourishment a factor in almost every
case. This was due not so much to the
amount of food given the child as to the
improper food and excessive tea and
coffee drinking.

HEALTHY CHILDREN
MAKE BEST PUPILS
Director Furbush Urges Exam
ination for Those About
to Enter School
NOT ENOUGH INSPECTORS

Parents of children about TO enter
school for the first time are urged by
Dr. G. Lincoln Furbush. director OF
health. to take them to a physician in
Idvancn of the opening Of the schools
Tor thorough medical examination.
Doctor Furbush has taken that step
because he feels that the large percent :
1ge of retardation In the first grade OF
school is mainly due to the physical
health Of the child.
He pointed out that with the great
ack Of sufficient school medical inspec.
tors and nurses II was impossible to
make n thorough yearly examination Of
.he children now in school as rcquircc
by law. thus almost neglecting entirely
the youngest just entering.
The figures of the promotion Of the
Nublic schools at the close of the last
- per cent of the children not ad-
vanced. and thus at the start Of their
school life were being handicapped by
""tardation.
Every child who enters school phys
iCally defective is n menace to itself and
~ the rest Of the community said
Doctor Furbush Yesterday. "If child
has adcnoids. bad teeth. defective eyes.
Or other ailment. very aften easily cor
rccted. they should be properly attended
q before beginning their school work.
''1f they are not taken care of and
70 into the school system they become
backward pupils. having a retarding
influence on the whole class, to say
nothing Of the immediate effects on
themselves.
Every parent who has n child about
to enter school this fall should take it
to doctor for a thorough physical
examination to see that the child Is in
every way fit to take up its work. II
there is anything wrong it should be
taken to a health center or other clinic
for correction.

inspectors connected with the State
Commission of Public Welfare to make
out detailed comparison of the prices
at Dock street with prices charged in
retail stores.
Corn an Example
."It was found" he said, that roast
ing ears of sweet corn sold on Dock
street for fifty eight cents a basket.
containing four dozen ears, or at the
rate of little more than n cent an ear.
But retail stores in the residential sec
tions are selling idcntically the same
corn Mt fifty and sixty cents a dozen,
receiving for one dozen what they pay
for four dozen. Ten large heads Of cab
bagc in basket sold wholesale at
twenty cents-two cents n head-and
the cabbage retailed in the stores at
eight cents per head.
Good sized Dock street tomatoes sold
for forty cents Il basket. containing 100
tomatoes, when dealers at the Reading
Terminal market were selling these baS-
kets at 81 %.
THE same difference between whole.
sale and retail prices applies to apples
green peppers. cuCumbcrs. eggplauts
green beans. onions, nc~v potatoes and
cantaloupes.
"In view of the fact that most ur
these commodities involve no more labor
and expense than that of transportation
between Dock street and the retailer to
the different stalls in the market. the
retailers profits are outrageously large.
The public is paying far more than it
ought to have TO pay. and IL is exceed
ingly rcgrettablc that, by reason of the
decision of Judge Thompson, of the
eastern federal district. we are power
less to put stop to this. which is moth
ing but indoor bandtry."

Quite a Difference
in Price of Tomatoes

Tomatoes at twenty five cents
slice!
This is the price charged by n
Market street restaurant, despite the
fact that this famous Jersey vege-
table is selling for forty cents a
basket.
OF course. the tomatoes in ques-
ton are encascd in crackerdust, in
which there Is mixed dash of egg.
A sprig of parsley is also served
with the tomato trio. but as parsley
is one cent a bunch, this only costs
about one. twentieth of a cent.
The picturesque decoration. how
ever, does not allay the indigna-
ton of the diner when he gets the
check.

rcstaurant-that's a job for +. J.

FOOD PRICES FALL;
SPECTATORS HIT
Vegetables and Fruits Lead De-
cline-ftoIders Unload
Sugar at Big Loss
CANTALOUPES AT 2 CENTS

Food prices are falling rapidy-veg
etables, fruits and sugar particularly.
Dock street was thronged with hun
dreds of small buyers today, eager to
buy farmers products at surprisingly
low prices. Dealers admitted the mar
ket was glutted. because housewives
generally had not been buying in OK
pected quantities. while poor transpor
tation facilities had prevented the
farmers making their accustomed ship
ments outside the city.
As an example Of the prices asked
today. cantaloupps were going for two
cents apiece. lettuce at two to four
cents a head. potatoes four cents
quart. and tomatoes forty cents
basket.
Sugar TO Fall Further

ply at twenty seven cents.
L. l.. Smyscr. manage of the grocery
department of Gimbel Bros. said this

because so many spectators are un-

cents a pound. sooner than suffer greater
deficits later on. Mr.. Smyser predicted
the Gimbel price would probably be

 While Johnson was attempting to better his end of the auto deal by swapping real estate, the machine seems to have been undergoing change of ownership with startling rapidity. Grimwood is alleged to have sold the car to Halsey w. Cur tiss of Bridgeport. and he in turn sold it a short time later. It passed through half a dozen hands, including Town Clerk Harold Ross of, Milford, and finally wound up in New Haven where it was located by a, sheriff yes terday. The car has been brought back to Bridgeport and is again in the possession of Harry Ford. It is believed that civil actions will be started by the people who were in possession of the car since it started out on it's rather lengthy trip.
