YANKEES SHOW SPEED
Beat World in Launching Mer-
 chant Ships in 1920.
Total World Launchngs Show De-. crease of Almost 100000 From
 the 1919 Figure.

New York.-The United States led the world in the total gross tons of merchant vessels laInched in 1920, according to figures made public by Lloyd's Register of Shipping.
 The total launchings in shipyards of the world amounted to 5,S610O0 gross tons, a decrease of almost 1,300,000 from the 1919 figure, but an increase of more than 100000 over 1918 The total for the United States was 2,476,- GOO tons, while Great Britain was sec ond with 2O55,OO0 tons. Japan launched 456,000 tons last year, a de- crease from 611,000 tons in 1919.
 Lloyd's points out that at the be- ginning of 1920 the United States and Great Britain had on hand practical ly the same amount of construction to be completed and credits American yards with greater speed than those in Great Britain, in that this coun- try exceeded Englands total by 20 per cent.
 The decline in the total world ton mage launched was attributed to the decline in the American shipbuiding program, Americas launchings being 1,600000 tons less than in the previous year.
 British production showed a gain of more than 100000 tons. Other coun- tries launched total of about 133O,- GOO tons during 1920 or about 10000 tons less than in 1919
 In comparison with pre-war figures the faunchlaos in the United States were nine times as great as in 1913, and throughout the world there was a gain of about 75 per cent. For the first time since the beginning of the war Great Britain last year exceeded it's 1913 figure, the gain being about per cent.
 Considerable gains over 1919 were shown by France, which increased the total of it's launchings from 32,0O0 tons to 93,000 tons last year; Holland, from 137.000 tons to 1S3000 tons, and Italy, from 82,000 tons to 133, 1000 tons.
 Comparative figures were compiled by the registry showing the yearly outputs of Great Britain and Amer ica since 1913. Until 1918 Great Britain was in the lead in ship con- struction, when the United States jumped ahead with 3.033,0 GOO gross tons, against 1,34S.00O for Great Brit ain. Again in 1919 the United States produced 4,075,000 gross tons, against 1,620,000 for England

DRILLING IN FORLORN HOPE
 OF FINDING MEN ALIVE.
Hope That a Miracle May Have Free ted Wall Between Flames and
 Imprisoned Miners.

Dowell, H., Feb. 26.-Desperate efforts are being made to locate the seven men who were imprisoned in the burning Kathleen mine, with little chance that the efforts will be crowned with success.

The drilling is expected to be finished by Monday, but the drillers think there is only one chance in a thousand of finding the men alive.

Caterpillar Immune
 to Most Deadly Germs

You can't kill a caterpillar unless you step on it and so cut short its healthy life.
 Caterpillars are immune to the bacilli of diphtheria, tetan- us and hydrophobia. When in- oculated with the consumption bacilli they eliminate them from the system in two or three days. There is a substance in the in- ternal system of the caterpillar that makes it immune to the most dangerous germs.
 Having discovered this fact, French scientist is devoting his life to the study of the cat erpillar, hoping to find the an- titoxin that so successfully con- bats disease.
