haps the outstanding weapon Of the
war, aside from the airplane, has
been the flre-belching tank. Canada
had no experience in tank making.
When request for 800 of these hor-
rors of modern war was received
from England the other day the au-
tomotive experts of the department
surveyed the factory facilities avail
able and within a few hours cabled
back their ability to fill the order.
Under the direction of the de-
partment Canada's automotive in
dustyy has swung into high gear
to replenish the vast quantities of
supplies lost in Flanders. Already
this industry is equipped to turn out
10000 pieces of military motorized
equipment a year. Since April /
more than 1000 pieces have been
produced by the Ford and General
Motors Canadian branches alone.
But it is believed the output can
be almost doubled under stress of
necessity.
Perhaps the biggest job of all is
the construction of army canton
ments and air fields. Thus far 275
contracts totaling $4,000, 900 have
been let. OF this 100000 is for

j. :. Marine Bureau
To Keep Closer Watch
On Alien Seamen
Intensified Inspection
Planned to Uncover
Any Fifth CoIunnists'
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

Fortified by an increase of ap-
proximately a quarter of million
dollars in its appropriation for the
new fiscal year which begins today
the Bureau of Marine Inspection
and Navigation, as it's contribution
to a stronger defense against fifth
columnists, will make closer check
on the activities of alien seamen on
American flag ships.
The bureau will increase the num-
ber of its inspectors and will devote
particular effort to enforcing exist
ing regulations governing the en-
ployment of aliens on American
merchant ships.
BY law, crews of subsidized cargo
vessels must be 100 per cent Ameri-
can citizens. Subsidized passenger
ships are permitted to employ aliens
in their stewards department, in
numbers not exceeding 10 per cent
of their overall complement Aliens
thus employed must be eligible for
United States citizenship. This re-
quirement, therefore, bars illegally
admitted aliens. Non-s subsidized
ships. under the present regulations
are permitted a Is per cent alien
quota in their crews.
There are no restrictions on the
employment of aliens in the crews OF
fishing boats and yachts.
$4,000 Seamen in U. S. Marine.
According to the records of the
Bureau of Marine Inspection and
Navigation, the American merchant
marine has about 350,000 certificated
seamen. Not all of these, of course,
are employed today. The exact
number of alien seamen on Amerl-
can ships is unknown. Under the
law, aliens may apply for United
States seamen's papers and are per-
mitted to work under the author
tied alien quotas.
Though in recent months there
has been tightening of regulations
aimed to prevent illegal entry into
the United States of members OF
crews of foreign vessels arriving at
American ports, such illegal entries,
according to Federal officials, still
provide means by which fifth
columnists" may reach the United
States. These regulations are diff
cult to enforce with complete effec-
tiveness.
Under the Bland bill, now pend
ing in Congress, all aliens would be
barred from United States vessels,
Including native-born and natu-
rallied Americans who have failed
to submit proof of their citizenship
Seamen Are Warned.
Last month Comdr. Richard S.
Field director of the Bureau OF Ma
rine Inspection and Navigation,
urged all seamen who have failed to
provide proof of their citizenship to
do so Immediately. Otherwise, ne
warned, they stand the risk OF
being barred from employment un-
der the pending legislation. AS a
result of Comdr. Fields warning, 1t
is expected that most OF the Amer
lean seamen who have failed to pro-
vide proof of their citizenship Will
offer such proof within the next lew
months.
The Bland bill has been approved
by the bureau. This measure would
bar aliens from all American ships,
including yachts and fishing vessels,
with the exception of ships and
sailboats not exceeding 16 feet. in
length, rowboats, canoes and other
non-self- propelled craft, and public
vessels other than those engaged in
commercial service.

OTTAWA, July 1.-War-1940
models the biggest sort of "big
business"
Canada, whose major war effort Is
just getting into full swing, already
has placed approximately 10000 or
ders for war materials ranging
from tons of pepper to tons of tanks,
with total expenditure to date of
$3.50, 100000. About $250,OO0000 of
this has gone toward supplying her
own army and navy, while goods
costing approximately $75,000,000
have been purchased for the British
forces.
1t has involved an enormous in
dustrial expansion. New factories
have been built. Old factories have
been completely remodeled. The ut
most industrial capacity of the ma
ton has been determined with the
conviction that the present struggle
must be won by men in overalls at
lathes as we'll as by men in uni
forms with rifles.
Busiest Spot in Ottawa.
This big purchasing and manufac-
turing job has fallen on the shoul-
ders of the department of munitions
and supplies of the Dominion gov
ernment, whose personnel includes
some of the foremost business lead
ers and experts in the country. Its
headquarters, great wooden tenn
porary building near the Houses of
Parliament, is today one of the
busiest spots in Ottawa. Beside it
another temporary building, twice
as large, is being erected to house
expanding activities that have come
with the intensification of the war.

During May, he said, the 70 areas
then in operation in the South issued
$3.50, 900 worth of blue stamps. The
number of persons affected by this
distribution he estimated at 391 900.
This illustrates, he explained, the
popularity of the new system OF dis
tributing relief. Its importance, he
emphasized, is proved by the fact
that all of this business goes over
the counters of retail merchants. The
advantage over the old system of dis-
tributing surplus farm commodities
by direct relief is that, whereas I'M
der the old plan the storekeeper met
competition, he now reaps the ben
eft.

Superintendent Maffitt, In
Annual Report, Says
Pump Is Needed

The city water and sewerage de-
for water greater last year than
the year before, needs another small
pump at the TONERS creek basin,
$3.50 worth of equipment for the
chemical laboratory, repairs to the
TONERS creek pipe line trestle and
repairs to the dixie around Toom-
er's creek basin if it is TO continue
to give the city salt-free water in
sufficient quantities, according to
the annual report of M'Kean Maj
fit, superintendent of the water
and sewerage department of the city.
The report, submitted to the city
commissioners yesterday quotes
the following figures for 1939-40 and
1938-39:

"Pumpage was on the increase
the report said, Showing a slight
daily average. At times this in
creased rate is very pronounced and
we find it impossible to operate the
new small pump at TONERS creek
for more than - to IA hours a day,
1t seems that we are going to have
to install another small pump of
ESQ to 1000 gallons per minute ca
pacity TO eliminate the chance of
having to go into the Cape Fear
river at an ~inopportune time"
Times at which water can be
taken from the Cape Fear river
without taking in salt water are
governed by the tides. With this
time being restricted to IL to IA
hours a day the department is find
ing it impossible to pump enough
water into the reservoir during the
day to satisfy the needs of the city
and without the addition of another
pump may, at some time, have to
take salt water into its supplying
reservoir.

nation or even of indications of con-

Power reductions" the report
says, "have not been as great as
we had hoped for since the installa-

The reason for this is that before
we could get it installed there was
a gradual and continuing increase
in. pumpage from below 1000, 900
gallons per day to an average of
well over 1000, 900 gallons. On some
of the hotter and dryer days the

Dorothy Dix Says go
Wife's Housekeeping Ability Most
Important to Happy Marriage

Within the last few months five
girls of my acquaintance have got
married. They married fine young
chaps, but lads who are making
small incomes. Before marriage
the very-much-in-love young cou-
pies worked out budgets on which
alone they could afford matrimony,
and they were based upon the brides
doing their own housework. In
prospect this sounded alluring to
the girls, and they grew almost
lyrical planning their spick-and-
span kitchens, with blue ruff1ed
curtains at the windows and all Of
the cooking utensils matching, and
no showers were more popular than
those which deluged them with all
sorts ,of household gadgetS. But,
alas, when the optimistic brides
took possession of their new do
mains, they found that their
kitchens were just as much terra
incognita to them as the heart of
darkest Africa would be, and that
they were no more capable of get
ting up a good meal or wrestling
with the temperamental gas stove
than they would have been of per-
forming some mystic rite. Hence
the result has been that some of the
newlyweds have installed maids in
their kitchens, and the others ruStled
themselves some sort of a synthetic
breakfast and stepped around to
mothers for dinner.
You see," said one of the young
husbands, explaining the situation
to me, Sally burnt up so much
food that it is really cheaper to
have a cook than to pay for what
went into the garbage can. Be-
sides, was slumping in my sales.
I couldn't think of my work when
how empty it was. And, of course,
you couldn't expect girl who had
never been raised to do any house
work to know how to do it."
And that is the point of this lit
tie homily. All mothers want their
daughters to marry. They expect
their daughters to marry, and they
know that the chances are a thou
sand to one that they will marry
poor men, so why don't they pre-
pare the girls for the work they
are going to have to do?
I have heard many mothers ac-
tually boast of never having taught
their daughters anything about
housework. They will learn how
to cook after they get married and
have to do it. That's the way I
did"
True, most women do learn after
marriage the things they should

Of the
Nj O m e n t

Before you start moving the fur
niture around under the spell of
September. let me give you a sug-
gestion.
If you would take a tape measure
and measure of each couch and
chair, as we'll as each corner of the
room where couch and chair are
to go, you'd probably have every bit
as much fun as you would moving
things before you measure, and a
lot less backache.
One woman know spends all her
spare time drawing her furniture
into a scale diagram of her apart
ment. She can rearrange it 10 or
II times day. that way, without
moving a stick And she says the
result is that she usually keeps the
furniture where it is.
OF course, If you like heaving
couches, that's another matter. I
wouldn't want to interfere.
