CAMDEN, N. Jas part of the
largest merchant ship-building pro-
gram in America at the present
time, the S2,0OO,O00 tanker "Socony-
Vacuum" has just been launched
here.
The new vessel was christened
with a bottle of California cham

the head of the marine transporta-
tion department of the Sco3sssNSN0-

The ship is an ocean-going tanker
500-feet long, with cargo capacity
of 5,330,000 gallons, the fourth to
be launched in a s5,0O0,000 ship
building program announced some
months ago by the oil company.
The vessel is equipped with the
most modern aids to navigation. To
build the steel hull required $500
tons of plates and shapes, and
100000 rivets were used to secure
steel in place The construction Of
the vessel required total of 1,200,-

NEW BRITISH LINER
AFTER SEA RECORD
Expects to Make Crossing in
Ninety-Six Hours.

London. - New York will be
brought within 90 hours of the Eu-
ropean continent when the giant
British liner, Queen Mary. launched
last September. takes her place in
the Atlantic steamer service.
The schedule now being worked
out for the liner will provide for
96-hOur passage between Cher
bourg and New York. at an avera se
speed of 3215 knots-four knots
faster than the fastest crossing ever
made. This would bring her near
to the dirigibles with respect to
speed.
One hundred and eleven hours
is the present record for the Cher
bourgNew York passage. made
few weeks ago by the liner Bremen.
The actual Atlantic record Is held
by the italian liner Rex. which in
August. 1893, covered the 3,1S1
miles from Gibraltar to New York
In 100 hours at an average Of 1892
knots.

travel at a considerably higher
speed than 32A knots.
It Is asserted. however, that the
reserve power in the propelling ma
chinery Is great enough to drive the
giant at "a to 35 knots, without
causing undue vibration or making
her ship much water In rough
weather.
The Queen Mary apparently must
be content with being the worlds
speediest ship, rather than both
that and the worlds largest.

side concerns required more than
100000 man hours of productive
labor, Mr.. Mcguire stated.
Approximately 1000 men have
been employed on the construction
Of these new tankers. The building
of these ships has given employment
to a large number of men in fac
tories manufacturing such equip
ment as boilers, engines, electrical
generators, dynamos, pumps, piping,
etc. 1t has been estimated that in
figuring the costs for basic material
and labor for ship of this type, that
no more than 20 per cent covers the
cost of basic materials-the balance
goes for labor in the shipyard and
steel mills and other manufacturing
plants. The new ships will not add to
the over-supply Of tanker tonnage.
They will replace an equivalent
amount of old tonnage that has be-
come obsolete.

ates under charter one of the largest

the New Yorker does not like to
seem a sap, and that's the way most
people feel when they receive the
attentions of a pickpocket. But Hol-
land, law student in st. Johns
law school, over in Brooklyn, is of
different stuff. He believes that cit
izens have a duty to their COM
munity. Doing that duty caused him
some exertion and the loss of time.
But that did not deter him. He did
what he thought was right. So,
William Johnson, a negro with a
coast to coast record as a pick
pocket, has been held without bail
to await grand jury action.
Holland, q passenger in the sub
way during the rush hour, felt a tug
at his hip pocket as he was leaving
the train at Fourteenth street. Turn
ing quickly, he grasped hand. In
that hand was his check book, he
testified later. The owner Of the
hand was johnson. who, 1t devel-
oped, has done time in Sing Sing,
In Sacramento, Cleveland and else
where, and who has been arrested
10 times for picking pockets. John
son dropped the check book between
the cars and grinned. The crowd
forced Holland outside. But he got
back into the train and rode as far
as Brooklyn bridge. There he found
an officer and Johnson was arrested.
Being a law student, Holland
didn't stop at that. He went back
and looked for the evidence. A sub
way employee had found the check
book. Holland took the matter up
with thC SoiupduJ duu sOl pei uuIS-
sion for the employee to go to court
to testify. That clinched things and
Johnson went to the Tombs. After
1t was all over, Holland explained
that he knew he was losing nothing
that he never carried money In
his hip pocket, and 1t was easy to
get another check book. But there
was that consciousness Of duty to
his community, SO he acted.
