ATTACH SPONSONS
TO ERICSSON LINERS

An unusual feat in shipbuilding
has just been accomplished at the
jackson and Sharp yards Of the
American Car and Foundry Com
pany. It is that OF attaching spon-
sons to the hulls Of the Ericsson
liners Penn and Lord Baltimore.
The sponsors were bull; on fore
and aft ends Of the two steamboats,,
they being attached to prevent the
vessels rolling in rough seas. The
feat OF attaching the sponsors was
unusual in that the hulls of the two
steamboats, are steel while the spon-
sons are Of wood. They are large
hollow compartments faring out
ward from above the waterline near
the stem and stern of the vessels,
designed to offer resistance TO the
water should the vessels begin 70
roll sidewise. As the boats could not
have anything added to their width,
which is limited in order to go
through the Chesapeake and Della
ware canal locks, the sponsors had
to be confined to the present width
of the vessels. 1t is understood that
several shipyards baked at attempt
ing the contract, but the difficult
job was done at the Jackson and
Sharp yard as part Of the days
work. superintendent Isaac W.
Phillips personally supervised the
building and attaching OF the spon-
sons.

NEW PRICE CUTTING WAVE
THROUGHOUT COUNTRY is
SEEN BY u. S. ACTJLARY

WASHINGTON. June Omitted
Press)-A new series OF reduction
Of prices OF all commodities is be-
ginning in nearly every section OF
the country. James Mccoy, actuary
OF the Treasury Department de-
ciared today.
The nationwide price cutting wave.
which began about a year ago had
slowed up during the last few
months. Now price cutting is TO be
resumed on a new and faster scale,
IL is indicated by factors which Nc
Coy considers important.
one OF these factors is an unusu-
ally big drop in the per capita cir
culation Of money In the month
ended June /. the per capita circu-
lation fell on IS cents TO $55.43 a
person. according TO an announce
ment by the Treasury.
This shows conclusively that

shall curfew ring tonight?"

AAAAeAAA kAA ANH AAAAtH NthArAANs
This question. which has rung
down through the ages. and been
told in song and story, was argued
eloquently last night, before City
Council.
The argument was not pro and
con. but distinctly pro. The sun
shine Society led in the hearing.
Women, mostly mothers. were the
speakers, and they spoke from the
heart
Although eloquent, they were not
oratorical. Rather they were con-
vincing, because OF the simplicity Of
their appeal
Members OF Council listened at
tentiveiy 10 the pleas for some ac-
ton which would tend to lessen the
dangers OF the city streets at night
to the boys and girls OF Whining
ton. It is altogether unlikely, how
ever, any curfew ordinance will be
passed by the present Council, as il
will have only three more regular
meetings before the newly elected al
dermanic body succeeds IT, and the
time is considered too short to draft
an ordinance, discuss it carefully and
give it the required three readings.
