WASHINGTON, Juno 10. Loss
than a year ago there were not 45,
niiu men employed In American ship
yards. Today there are more than
3110,000 skilled mechanics and labor
ers cngnged In building ships, and
un additional 250,000 omployed In
making engines, bollors, winches and
other machinery necessary to equip
them.
This tremendous oxponslon by
which tho United States hopos to put
Into a new merehnnt marine that will
rival the trading fleot ot any nation
in tho world has been accomplished
In methodical fashion, without any
"fuss and feathors" "but achieving a
rosult that Industry long will regard
as one of tho most brilliant victories
of tho war. It has boon brought
about by tho shipping board thru rec
ognition bf tho prlnclplo thatj un
trained men can hecomo skilled work
men only thru competent instruction.
Ono of the first tasks of the shipping
board, thoreforo, was tho creation ot
a division of education and training,
which has supervised the establish
ment of training centers and tho de
velopment of instructors among tho
foremen and superintendents.
Ily training foremen and managers
tho shipping board has been able to
develop In a year tho building of
woodou ships which had beon a long
lost art, and workmen in many yards
havo Increased In efficiency more
than 25 percent. "Whore wo have
efficient management wo have effic
ient workers," Chairman Hurley de
clared today. "You can't expect to
havo efficient workmen In an Ineffic
iently managed shipyard nor can you
expect good results, "bur shipyard
workers genornlly aro ns flno a hody
of men ns Is engaged in any Industry ,
In this country. They are a patriotic.
Industrious group, and whilo In many
ynrds they aro not as offlclent as wb
would llko to havo thorn they are
learning dally and aro Increasing
their output. When tho history of
our shipbuilding program is yvritton,
tho American workmen, tho men who
really built tho ships, will bo thb
men deserving of any credit that may
bo duo."

Dear Sir:--
BccTtise of t!ic fact that it was necessary for my
wife to take medicine for constipation while nursing
our first two children, they both sulTcrctl and were
rnb and crors until old cnouph to cat for themselves.
L O
When the same trouble began with our third child,
our physician said that there was no la::ativc medicine
for my wife that would not hurt die baby. I then
persuaded my wife to try Nujol, as I had successfully
u: ed it. It relieved her without afTcctin;', the baby; as a
result wc have the hcakhijit, happiest child I ever saw.
Signed,

r7"rHiS is one cf the testimonials from hundreds of users who use Nujol to insure
i onn il bov.xl-bal il', and who then ;:!nrc their abundant health with' their babies.
Nuj'il is a valr-.b!c household remedy of guaranteed purity. It is healing; it is effective;
it briii'-s about thorough and regular bowel habits, yet contains no drugs, whatsoever.
T Iiij. l is nature's first-aid to inactiv.: bowel . , giving desired relief without griping or
: :!;.-.- distress. Nujol is a time-tried, universal remedy, cjually successful in results at all
aj; ... To be "regular as clockwork" use Nujol.
