havoc with a kitchen window

Expert on Wooden Vessels
Is Back on Duty in Navy
1t. Lord, Nearing 70,
Restored Frigote
Constitution
by CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

1t. John Abel Lord, U. 8. N, re-
tired, who began building wooden
ships in 1894 and who reluctantly
went into steel" in 1905, is back
on the job with his wooden ship de-
signs as he approaches 70 years OF
age.
Drawn back into the Navy more
than a year ago he recently has been
made chief of the wood construc-
ton section Of the Maritime Com
missions technical division. The
new demand for wooden barges,
tugs, minesweepers and other wood
en- craft has plunged him once again
into the blueprints OF wooden ships.
AS the last of the wooden ship
builders in the Navy, 1t. Lord re-
tired In 1882. AS finale of his
career he restored the crumbling
hulk of the frigate Constitution the
year before retirement. This was
q job nobody else wanted to tackle,
and the Navy appreciated the dar-
ing of 1t. Lord in undertaking it.
Feat Called Outstanding.
OF the task, Rear Admiral Philip
Andrews, then commandant Of the
1st Naval District, wrote the then
Secretary Of the Navy, Charles
Francis Adams:
"The rebuilding of Old Ironsides is
an historic and outstanding achieve
ment in the art Of wooden ship

vanced state of decay when it was
docked, it was badly 'hogged' and
required renewal OF about IS per
cent of the hull. The docking OF this
ship, now 1872 years old, which had
not been docked for 80 years Tor
fear of collapse, was a notable 1eat
that required technical knowledge
and experience in wooded shipbullo-
ing practices"
1t. Lord probably absorbed part
of his shipbuilding lore through
early associations for he was born IN

Named Constructor in 1928.
His first wartime assignment was
in 1898 in the Office OF the super
visor Of shipbuilding in the Bath
IRON Works, Bath, Me, and 1t was
there that he laid the foundation OF
his HE skill and craftsmanship. He
became acting carpenter in the Navy
in 1909 and then chief carpenter and
following that was given the RANK
of lieutenant. In 1928 he was also
named naval constructor.
He served as a naval constructor

Senator Clark to Seek
Showdown to Kill

A member of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee suggested yester-
day that q compromise might be ar
ranged under which accumulated
benefits could be paid the depen-
dents Of service men any time after
October IA month earlier than
permissible under present law.
The Senator. who requested that
his name not be used, stressed that
such legislation, If passed, would
be paid exactly on October l. 1t
merely would replace q section OF
the law which prohibits such pay
ments before November /.
However, Senator Clark, Demo-
crat. of Missouri, called for a show

House approved legislation which
would knock out the November !
deadline entirely. He said the de-
pendents of some soldiers and sailors
are in desperate financial straits
and need the money for food and
rent.
The allotment and allowance Law
became effective as OF June l, which
would mean a four months accum-
lation would be payable to de-
pendents on October l, il that dat,
were decided on.
War Department officials prev.
iously had declared 1t would be

Census Bureau Plans
Close Health Check
On Civil Population
Wartime Dislocutions
Found to Accelerate
Disease Phenomena

In cooperation with the registrars
Of vital statistics of the States, the
Census Bureau is preparing to keep
closer check on the health OF the
civilian population during the war,
it was announced yesterday.
Under the new plan, which soon
will be put into effect, a sampling
will be made each month Of lists OF
persons dying in set previous
period to detect unfavorable helath
trends.
Changes affecting public health
which ordinarily occur slowly, come
with rapidity and violence In war
time, the Census Bureau pointed
out. Workers migrate in large num-
bers to already crowded defense
areas. Soldiers are gathered in huge
camps in rural areas and sanitary
facilities are overloaded.
Women and older men return te
factory work. Working hours are
longer. Larger proportions Of per.
sons are found in the heavy indus.
tries. Housing shortages arise, ane
trailer camps spring up. Many doc
tors are withdrawn from civilian
practice. Diets change and worries
multiply.
Though not designed to include
the spotting of local disease spreads
the new plan Is designed to provid'
an index of the effect of sucl
changes on basic health conditions
Danger limits will be set for certain
diseases in each region of tn
United States, based on the bu
reau's death records for past year.
When the monthly graphs 9
deaths in any region pass the dan

Eisenhower Stresses
Soldiers Training;
Says Time Is Short
Chief Of Forces in Europe
Declares Best u. S.
Army Must Be Formed

D, the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Speaking at
time when United States, Russian
and British military leaders are con-
tinuously discussing diversionary
actions on a new European front,
1t. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, U.
S. A., declared today that 'the time
is short" and United States soldiers
must be trained to stand the most
rigorous operations"
His words at = press conference
were regarded by many as a hint
of the urgency with which the pro-
gram to beat the Axis is being or
ganized.
Training In all its phases must
be intensive" said the commander
Of all United States Army forces In
the European theater.
"This is true first because the time
Is short; second, because the prob
lens we have demand the ultimate
in trained personnel, and, third, be-
cause our men must be toughened
and hardened physically to stand
the most rigorous operations"
Best Army Held Needed.
He declared 1t was his conviction
that I'VE must form here the best
army the United States has ever
put into the field II we are to per-
form our future tasks successfully. !"
The generals words were taken
as q reflection OF the views Of both
the British and American govern
ments that a second front in Europe
Is needed at the earliest possible
moment, and that such q front can
be created and successfully ad-
| vanced only at the cost Of great
preparation and great casualties.
United States troops for some
time have been pouring into Britain
at an increasing rate and their
training is progressing rapidly with
battle-hardened British veterans
among the instructors.
Forecast Entry Action.
British and American experts
while realizing a full-scale second
front is impossible without adequate
preparations, believe more positive
action to aid Russia and hit the
Axis will not be long delayed. They
think the formula has been decided
or soon will be.
Many believe that at the present
stage the main brunt still will have
to be borne by British and Canadian
troops, with Americans playing Z
minor role until they reach train.

at the rate things are moving they
think that won't be long.
The emphasis on perfect training
and perfect equipment Is regarded
as an obvious obeisance to a lessor
the British have learned; that tn,
Germans are tough foe and al

be easy.
Welsh Appointed.
The Air Ministry disclosed toda,
the appointment of Sir William
Welsh, commander In chief of tn
flying training command and on
Of the prominent figures OF tn
Raj, for special duties" Thi

might be connected with some ney
