SCALING SHIPS BY MACHINERY
Labor Saving Device for Cleaning Bot
toms of Vessels Is Run by
Compressed Air.

Scaling ships bottoms by machinery
is the latest labOr-saving practice de-
vised to aid those who 90 down to
the sea in ships" Ever since the ad-
vent of iron and steel hulls, one Of the
meanest jobs faced by Jack is clean
ing the vessels underwater section
when the ship is placed in dry dock.
Hammers with chisel-like heads, wire
brushes and even cold chisels have
been laboriously welded to clean off
marine grOwths, rust and the old
paint.
Now comes the ship scaling machine
run by compressed air and looking
very much like the pneumatic riveters
so painfully familiar to New Workers
who live near modern building opera
tions-and who doesn't? BY its use,
one man with a scaling machine can
do as much in a day as could six men
with the old-time methods and do a
better and cleaner job at that Gauze
goggles are needed however, in op-
Grating the ship scaler, because it
works so fast, that bits Of metal, rust
and paint fly about in a veritable
shower. Another modification OF the
machine is run by electricity.

while Harry hung Imply over a neigh
boring fence and Ethel was crawling
IN a damaged condition from beneath
the wreck.
He stepped on his gas; the sedan
fairly jumped to the scene of the dis
aster; he stopped with a suddenness
which nearly wrecked his machine,
sprang out and ran toward her; she
looked up and saw him.
"Oh, Johnr" "Oh, Ethel" they
cried simultaneously.
Ethel and Harry had been pretty
badly shaken up, but neither of them
was seriously injured. Johh took
them home in his car, of course. He
and Ethel were married shortly after

been decided which spoke first.
Fortunately, they have agreed not
to discuss the question.

Voice Pictures.

So that future generations might be
able to compare the quality of her
song with that of voices yet unheard,
Melba consented TO sing into Professor
Lows audiometer, an instrument
which photographs the waves of sound
as they come from the singers lips.
This photograph is quite different from
that of any other voice ever recorded.
No other has had anything resembling
the same variation combined with the
same regularity. 1t is full Of harmOnics
and infnltesimal variations in the
wave, but these waves are perfect in
regularity. This might account for its
carrying power, by superimpOsition,
since it is not a loud voice In the Ordi-
nary sense. '-r -

EXTREMIST ELECTED
BY BRITISH MINERS
A. j. Cook Admits He Is "Still a
Red" and Opposed to Private
Ownership.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 11-A ]. Cook,
leader of the South Wales miners,
has been elected secretary of the
Miners Federation Of Great Britain
in succe saen to Frank Hodges, who
abandoned the post upon his ap-
pointment as civil lord of the ad-
niralty in the labor government
Cook. who is an avowed extremist
and devoted to the MARKHAM theo-
ries, when interviewed upon his ap-
pointment. said he interpreted the
miners choice as a desire for mill
tant. aggressive policy.
Il am in favor of a real live ma
Gonal and international miners or
Eanization," he said, "and am con-
WINGED that the miners cannot retain
even their present bad conditions
without it l am still q Red with
Catisfied until private enterprise in
the mining industry is abolished"
Ballot Result Today.
The result of the miners ballot on
the owners offer of a minimum wage
standard 32ia per cent above the pre-
war mark as opposed to the mems
demand for 40 per cent above, is ex-
pected to be known today. Partial
returns show that the miners are
divided fairly equally for and against
the offer. whion is evidence that a.
large proportion OF the men are re-
jecting the recent delegates con-
ference to refuse the terms.
From these returns it Is argued
that a strike will probably be avert
cd and hope is strengthened by the
fact that the federation's executive
has arranged to meet the owners
next week and talk things over.
