3-YEAR FIGHT To.

ENDS IN VICTORY.
Big Ship to Be Reconditioned
and Put in American
Service.

The Leviathan, the greatest steam
ship afloat, is to be reconditioned
and operated by 100 per cent
American companies.
This was determined here wheel
the contract of the International
Mercantile Marine, calling for oper-
alton of the biggest ocean liner for
five years after it's reconditioning
was cancelled at the request Of
Chairman Lasker, of the United
States Shipping Board.
This decision marks the end of a
three-year fight by the Hearst news
papers to keep in the American
merchant marine the most valuable
single piece Of shipping property
afloat.
1t means that, with a backbone
such as the Leviathan, the Ameri-
can merchant marine can be built
up in prestige and power to an
equality with any other merchant
marine afloat.
Great Floating Hotel.
Tho Leviathan, when recondition-
I'd at American hands, will be the
fnost luxurious as well as the
largest liner in existence. The
ideas OF the German engineers who
built her have been Tar surpassed
In the plans of the Americans who
viii rebuild her. Chairman Lasker
laid:
There will be no finer hotel in
the world than the Leviathan when
she Is back In service. She will be
Q bigger institution than the largest
modern hotel.
= The breaking Of the contract with
the International Mercantile Marine
by the Shipping Board was a direct
slap at those British interests which
hoped to annex the huge vessel TO
the British fleet as the keystone Of
their control of the seas.

made" =. A. s. Franklin, president
OF that company, acknowledged
today.
But the pressure brought upon Of
ficials here by popular opinion,
aroused by the Hearst newspapers,
to have the Leviathan remain under
American control, was too great to
be withstood. Therefore the Levia-
than will be American rebuilt and
American operated.
The Leviathan will be recondi-
toned by the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company. 1t
submitted the lowest bid-$6, ITO, 900
lower than the next by sl,642,6 $40.
The Leviathan will not be moved
from her Hoboken dock for abou- a
month. 1t will take that time for
the Newport News Company to
dredge a channel and prepare a
berth.
President Ferguson OF the COM
pany ANNOUNCED today. after sign
ing the contract, that the company
would Immediately expend 1000, 900
on materials and would increase its
force Of workers by 1900 to 1000

Moving Costly, Too.
In addition to the cost of refit-
ting and painting, 1857 900 will be
spent in moving the ship to New

and watchmen, insurance, drydock.
ing and other repairs.
The total cost Of putting the YES
sci into condition, therefore, will be
about $S,200,000. The Government
contract provides that the success
full bidders must pay any excess
above their bids.
The value OF the ship when recon-
dtioned is estimated at $25 900 900.

COPPER ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Durability of the Metal Has Made IL
Almost indispensable for Variety
of Purposes.

The many uses of copper may be
imagined from the size of the output.
1t is said that if the United States
were to cease producing, either all the
trolley cars or all the armies of the
world would cease operating, for out
side of Michigan and Montana there is
not enough copper in existence to sup
ply both.
In the building trade copper is in
great demand on account of its dura-
bility. At first glance the amount Of
copper seems to be negligible in COM
parison with iron and steel 1t is used
for such things as roofing, Hastings,
cornices, cutters, drain pipes, leaders
and ventilatorS. These are nearly all
copper in the large office buildings. In
the WoolwOrth building, in New York,
which is today the worlds tallest sky
scraper, there is approximately a mil.
lion pounds of copper used for roof
ings, elevators and interior decoration.

Game of Craps.

Abe JOCkSOn (colOred) was indicted
for stealing money from the station
agent of a railroad. AS the railroads
were then under the control of the
government. the trial was in United
States court.
The station agent, who was white,
testified that he did not know Jackson
and had never seen him before the day
of the theft.
Jacksons defense was ingenious. He
did not deny that he got the money
from the agent, but claimed that he
won it.
The presiding judge seemed astound-
ed at the defense, and asked: do you
mean to tell me that you won this
money from the agent shooting craps?"
ayes, subj"

RIGHT FEEDING FOR CALVES
Number of Times Day Varies With
Different Dairymen-Tempera-
ture Is Important.

The number Of times a day to feed
the calf varies with the different
dairymen. For the first three or four
weeks some men feed the calves three
times a day. This is an excellent
practice, but many do not give proper
attention to the temperature of the
milk, particularly at noas. This milk
is often given cold and it would be
far better to feed only twice a day
and have the milk at proper tempera-
ture than to feed three times day
and have noon milk cold.
