FINISH NEW CHAPEL
 AT FIRST CHURCH
Alterations Made During Sum.
 mer Have Been Completed

Persons entering the First Church chapel on Church street may have to stop and think twice to ascertain if they are in the proper place, if they were accustomed to enter that building in the past, because the chapel has been recreated during ths summer and is now a new and up- to-date building for the purposes of religious education. The new en- trance makes possible private chapel, whereas formerly persons coming in off the street came abruptly into the main auditorium room. This will be a great advan- tage to all meetings being held in the chapel since they will not be interrupted by late corners or other persons who happen to be in the building at the same time.
 Formerly the chapel was built on the so-called Akron plan which orig mated in Akron, Ohio, 25 years ago. It was so arranged that the super 1 intendeDt of the Sunday school standing on the platform could con- mand the attention of all the scholars in their class rooms. The solid partitions separating these class rooms were built on angles like the spokes of a wheel. This summer several partitions were taken out between these small angular shaped rooms, throwing two of them to- sether into one room, thus making larger and better proportioned rooms This improvement was made

CANT FLOAT SHIP
 AT BUILDING PLANT
Fore River Yards Presenting Unexpected Difficulty

Boston, Sept. GF - While the navy's giant aircraft carrier rapidly hears completion at the Fore River ship yards in Quincy navy authori- ties are beginning to wonder if the big boat can be moved to the open sea without an act of congress. The Lexington has a draught of 2S feet. Army engineers who yes terday completed a survey of the Fore river channel to the sea dis covered a controlling depth of but ! 22.3 feet at mean low water and only 31 feet at high tide.
 Marine authorities said that big craft never can be moved at low water and even at full tide the slight clearance involves a risk for ship of her size.
 The builders have relinouished responsibility for the launching and it will be up to the navy to "get i the ship. out of the bottle." The final solution may demand a spec ! ial congressional appropriation for deepening the channel. an eXpen- sive proposition, as the engineers found a rock bottom which must be blasted.
 The Lexington is SSS feet over all with an extreme beam of 106 feet. Besides running down the shallow channel, she must pass through 125 foot drawbridge span, with shallow water on both sides. Originally laid down as a battle cruiser, the Lexington was made over as a result of the naval limitation treaty with delivery tc the government set for late next spring or early summer.
