YANKEES SHOW SPEED
Beat World in Launching Mer-
chant Ships in 1920.
Total World Launchings 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 launched in 1920,
according to figures made public by
Lloyd's Register Of Shipping.
The total launchings in shipyards of
the world amounted to 5.S6lG00 gross
tons, decrease of almost 100000
from the 1919 figure, but an increase
of more than 100000 over 1918. The
total for the United States was 2,476,-
600 tons, while Great Britain was sec
ond with 2,O55,OOO tons. Japan
launched $4,000 tons last year, a de-
crease from Gil, 900 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 England's total by 20
per cent.
The decline in the total world tom
mage launched was attributed to the
decline in the American shipbuilding
program, Americas launchings being
100000 tons less than in the previous
year.
British production showed gain
of more than 100000 tons. Other coun-
tries launched total of about 1885,
600 tons during 1920, or about 10000
tons less than in 1919.
In comparison with pre-war figures
the launchings in the United States
were nine times as great as in 1913,
and throughout the world there was a
gain Of about Is per cent. FSr the
first time since the beginning Of the
war Great Britain last year exceeded
its 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 $4,000
tons to $4,000 tons last year; Holland,
from $4,000 tons to $4,000 tons, and
Italy, from $4,000 tons to $4,000 tons.
Comparative figures were compiled
by the registry showing the yearly
outputs Of Great Britain and Amer
lea since 1913. Until 1918 Great
Britain was in the lead in ship con-
struction, when the United States
jumped ahead with 3,O33, 900 gross
TONS against 1,34S,OOO for Great Brit
ain. Again in 1919 the United States
produced 4,O75,OOO gross tons, against
100000 for England.

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 q substance in the in
ternal system of the caterpillar
that makes it immune to the
most dangerous germs.
Having discovered this fact,
a French scientist is devOting
his life to the study of the cat
erpillar, hoping to find the an
titoxin that so successfully COM
bats disease.

BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 23.-Gen-
eral John J. Pershing has praised as
most appropriate" the plans OF the
University of California here to erect
. huge stadium as a memorial to all
citiscns OF California who fell in the
World War.
II can think OF nothing more tit
ting" General Pershing wrote recent
ly regarding the stadium. THE
achievements Of the splendid troops
from California are too we'll known
TO need repetition here. The memory
Of their deeds will never perish. The
dash and spirit which enabled them
to achieve are powers that can be
sustained only so long as vigorous
health and enlightened patriotism
avail. The Stadium you are to build
will stand a. q lasting memorial to
your gallant sons and serve to nur-
ture the sources from which they
drew their strength"
The California stadium, costing
neary S1,000,000 and seating $4,000
people, will be used for athletic con-
tests and meetings. II is to be built

Workers Share in
Profits Under NelU
La.U in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 23.-The
federal government will not intervene
in an effort TO have the Vera Cruz
legislature modify its law recently
passed permitting workmen to share
in the pTyftts OF any industry within
the state. Secretary OF the Interior
Gales has made a statement to this
effect.
Secretary Gales says that in such
matters this states are sovereign, add
ing however, that the law is not as
drastic as described by its opponents.
Although there is no apparent hope
that the law will be repealed, repre-
sentatives Of various industries af-
fected have told The Associated
Press that they understand" no at
tempt will be made to carry out the
measure In a strict form. They are
prepared however, to close down all
their interests in the state OF Vera
Cruz II the profit-sharing law is in
voked by the workmen. II is believed
the Supreme Court will be called up
on to pass on the law.
Effects Of the law have already
been felt In other parts of the repub-
ic. In the Laguna cotton region man
ufacturers have refused to buy any
Of the crop on hand In view Of the
possibility Of the Durango legislature
passing a similar law.
