to (he Idea of building ships like sky

Yards Piled High
As I climbed over the endless piles
of steel and iip onto the scaffolding
around Nos. 3, 4 and 6, which soon
will be the completed Alamosa, Al
cona and Chctopa, I realized what
Sutphen meant. Behind the row of
28 ways, each, holding a ship, are
the yards piled high with tho various
shapes of steel. A spur track from
the railroad runs down between each
completo sweep of 28 shipways, with jshipway. A busy little donkey engine

steel that go to make up tho ships,
while thru tho open windows with

the incessant "hu-r-r-rap!" of hun

. Standardizing Vessels
"Tho idea was new to shipbuil
ders," Sutphen continued. "They
could not believe that it was possible
to standardize and fabricate ships us
we would a bridge. Itut tho thing
simply had to be done. The rolling
mills producing plate for ordinary
shipbuilding operations were scarcely
able to supply the steel necessary to
meet tho building needs for warships.
But It seemed to us that if it were
possible to organize the steel mills
producing structural shapes so that
fabrication and assembling could' be

liamire arrest followed tlie in
stallation of a wireless set much
heavier than needed for use in the
coastwise trade. Subsequently it was
found Hint 2l sticks of dynamite
were missing from n shipment on tlie
vessel. Twelve sticks were found con
cealed nt various points aboard the
ship, some of them ulotig tho steering
gear and others in tlie boiler room.
Eleven sticks eunnot be found and

BRAIN DRILLS FOR '
ARMY IS LATEST
I'AHIS,- July 9 If individual
brain work on the part of the soldiers
is i;oinx to win Ibis war, then you can
count on the allied soldiers to put
on the finishing touches.
Hack in the truinini; camps of nil
the armies on the western front, brain
drills are playing; larger parts than
ever before. The allied commanders
linow that to keep up tin morale of
the soldiers they've cot to be uble to
think and shift for themselves when
the occasion comes un.
One of the drills the early recruits
come up against calls for n combina
tion of physical and brain drill.
The instructor tells them to ruise
their hands when he suys "Do this"
and to lower their hands when' lie
says "Do that."
Then he says "Do this," and the
arms yo up in unison.
Suddenly he shouts "Di that." but
his hnnds still ro up, und !)() per cent
of the recriuts keep shooting their
hands up, while the old vets have the
laugh on them.
It's drills of this kind that make
the allied soldier far superior, in
dividuality and ns a bodv, to the
Hun.
