our national defense production at
the time it was raging.
Building Cargo Fleet
Was Long DELAYED

Perhaps the most curious failure to
take time by the forelock in the
whole defense situation has been the
length of time it took the admins
tration to come around to building
a fleet OF cargo ships.
The shipping problem was realized
IN September, 1899, more than a
year and half ago. 1t was known
then, by both British and United
States officials, that there was MOTH
ing more certain than that Ger
many's most effective weapon would
be the destruction of shipping, with
the hope of ultimately starving Brit
ain out.
AT that time no one, of course,
foresaW the collapse of France, nor
the seizure of Norway and Dem
mark, though the fate of Belgium
was anticipated. Folks were in
stlnctively following the pattern OF
ahe last war in their minds.
II was not realized that, with the
collapse of France, and the seizure
OF Norway, the Nazis would have
such favorable bases for both sub
marine and airplane attacks on ship
ping.
SHIPPING BECOMES ACUTE
But everybody knew that sooner
or later the persistent sinking Of
merchant ships, just as in the last
war, would bring Britain face to
face with the danger of starvation.
ShreWd observers called the at
tention of this writer to the certainty
that the shipping problem would be-
come acute and these dispatches
dWelt upon it in 1899. At that time
it seemed inconceivable to these
particular observers that this gov
eminent would not do everything
possible to get merchant ship con-
struction going Immediately.
This writer made very bad pre-
diction in these dispatches in 1889.
He predicted that this would be
done. 1t was not done. In fact, it
has just begun to get beyond the
planning stage, with the passage OF
bill by congress authorizing the
start on such a program. This
bill provides for 200 ships. 1t is adj
mitted that it will have to be
followed by many other appropria.
tons for ship construction.

BY EDDY GILMORE,


LONDON, May 26.-"The King
and Queen" said the announce
ment. have encouraged the forma-
ton of pig club for members of
the royal household at Windsor"
Pigs at the palace sounded like a
war story near the magnitude Of
the landing Of Rudolf Hess--one su-
preme war effort. The mental pic
ture was staggering.
The princess and others encour-
aged BY their majesties to form a
pig club? What was a pig club?
A pig club, said the Ministry of
Food Supply, is club devoted to
raising and feeding pigs with the
view to furnishing some to the gov
ernment and eating the others.
The palace was as close as the
telephone.
Buckingham Palace" said the
answering voice.
L would like to inquire about the
royal family keeping pigs" the oper-
ator was asked.
There was great silence Then
muttering voices In the background
and finally the word came back that
Sir Somebody would have to handle
the matter.
Sir Somebody finally was found.
The royal family keeping pigs?"
he gasped. Il hardly think SOL"
Wait minute" he was told, I'm
read it to you"
"Ahhhh!" he exclaimed, "Ahhhh!
The announcement reads the royal
household"
Whats the difference?"

pay for overtime. The yards have
agreed to pay SLIP and pay and a
half for overtime A. F.. L. leaders
have denounced the walkout as an
outlaw strike, saying their machin-
lists were bound by master con-
tract" covering most Of the yards.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, called the shipyard strikes
another evidence of the gross in
efficiency and ineptness" of Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins.
The U. A. w. voted at mass
meeting to file five-day notice, re-
quired by Michigan law, of inten-
ton to strike at the Packard Motor
Co. in Detroit to support demands
for a pay raise of 10 cents an hour.
Present wage rates were not dis
closed.
The company has been busy with
defense plane production, and q
walkout, if it affected defense con-
tract workers, would involve $500.

considerable" he snorted with
superb disdain. THE announce
ment means the King and Queen
encouraged the formation Of a pig
club among certain persons who
have served the family. Many Of
these are retired now and living in
quarters at Windsor"
"But it still means pigs ut the
palace, doesn't it?"
Pigs at the castle" he said, with
tone of finality.
incidentally, this is the Tooth pig
club formed in Britain this year.

OF school health records, DR..
Cameron said that 1t was no use
in keeping records unless they
were used. If each teacher had
available the health record of ev-

find that scholastic failure was
usually explained by some physi-
cal defect or deficiency. Frequently
these can be corrected or aided and

Using Community Resources
was the topic discussed by Miss e.
Kathryn Pennypacker, Delaware
State Board of Charities supervisor
for Kent and Sussex counties. Del
aware's resources for health and
welfare services to children include
such public or tax supported in
stitutions as Sunnybrook, tubercu-

cies as the Mothers Pension Com

State Board of Health clinics; pri-

like the Children's Beach House at

ton, and Nemours Foundations of
clinic and hospital services for
crippled children; non-institution-
al agencies, private or semi-pri-
vate in nature, like the Children's
Bureau, the Catholic and the jew
ish Welfare Guilds, and the Fam

Miss Pennypacker also listed To-
cal organizations not employing
paid personnel who give assis-
tance to children, among which
were P. T. AS, Red Cross, Kings
Daughters, Kiwanis, Rotary, and
other Service Clubs. She went on
to explain to the nurses how they
might refer cases of need they
found in the schools to the proper
agencies for assistance, whether it
was Alice with suspected T. B.,
Tommy needing glasses, or Ger
