Ship Launchings
 Eliminated Under
 French Dock Plan

ST NAZAIRE, France, Feb IT, An experiment in shipbuilding has been undertaken here to eliminate the dramatic slides of new liners down the ways into the sea.
 The Loire Shipbuilding Company, one of Frances largest builders of naval vessels, plans to do away with sending the liner down to meet the sea by bringing the sea up to meet the ship. sfe.s. sst
 A drydock, large enough for an ocean liner, permits the liner to be built below the level of the Loire behind huge flood gates.
 When the time comes to float the hull, pumps, aided by the tide, will do the job. The basin then serves as a construction dock where the ships superstructure and all the fin ishing touches can be completed.
 Under the drydock system the completed ship can be floated to the sea, completely equipped and manned for her trial runs.
 Ship builders believe the new sys- tenn will save millions in the con- struction of great liners, for it would permit them to concentrate their work in single basin. Under the old system the hull is built on the ways, released for a ride into the sea which may injure the heavy hulk. then moored beside a con- struction dock where a second bat tery of loading cranes and equip ment complete the superstructure.

STORES CROWDED
BY LATE SHOPPERS
Shops Congested as Last
Minute Buying Gets
Into Full Swing

Christmas shopping went on apace
today as last-minute buyers throng-
ed stores to supply their needs for
holiday giving and for the holiday
dining tables. Nearly all lines were
sharing in the perking up of trade,
with ideal weather, conditions con-
tinuing after clear, cool weather drove
away rain and cloudy skies the first
of the week.
AS was the case the first two days
of the week, many stores were JAM
med to the point almost of conges-
ton, and clerks were unable to give
immediate service to customers in all
instances.
Shoppers were forced to do their
buying as the holiday approached, and
rain hemmed them in for the past
two weeks prior to last Monday.
Gifts are bought in greater variety
and volume and also of somewhat
more expensive character than for
many seasons.
