The system which fires at the rate of 12,600 rounds per minute on pin point targets, would fire the shells pictured in about four seconds. Hughes scientists said a one-second burst delivers upon a tank target the destruction equivalent of a 4,000-pound object dropped from 1,000 feet. UPI Telephoto 4 Historic Old Ships II i Live Again SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Four historic ships, once just rotting hulks, had the feel of happy feel on their decks again Saturday, Smiling children ran up the gangplanks of the sailing schooner Thayer, the steam schooner Wa pama, the sidewhecl ferry boat Eureka and the hayscow Alma, all vessels that helped make San Francisco the Queen Port of the West at the turn of tlie century. They are the first contingent to the San Francisco (Maritime State Historical Monument, which was opened to the public Saturday. When completed, the project will consist of a four acre Victor ian 'Plaza, the ships, and a brick warehouse housing 38 pieces of pioneering railroad rolling stock. An Old Route I Many of Saturday's visitors took Iho Hyde Street cable car to the gas-lighted plaza and walked past the pre-1906 quake warehouse to tlie ships.. .much the same routo taken by sailors of London's "Sea Wolf." The Stale Division of Beaches and Parks estimated that about two million persons a year will visit the monument, dedicated Wednesday by Cov. Edmund 3. Brown. The project was conceived In IMS by tlie San Francisco Marl time Museum Association director Karl Kortum and financed by im pounded tidclands oil revenues re . turned by court order to Califor nia from tlie federal government. The Maritime Association shep herded the project through the state legislature and acted as consultant to the Slate Division of Beaches and Parks on refurbish ing the old vessels. The association will add Its wcll-boardcd tourist attraction, tlie sailing ship Balclutha, to the fleet. Lumber and Ammunition The Thayer was one ot about 120 three-masted schooners in the Pacific Coast lumber trade at the turn of the century. The fill-year old vessel carried lumber to Australia in World War I and served as an ammunition barge in World War II. After hauling a record codfish catch of three million pounds In the Pacific Northwest in 1930, she almost came to an inglorious end. She was tied up in Poulsbo. Wash., as a "pirate ship," which he naver was. The Wapama, once famous for Its speed in loading lumber from sleep cliffs on the California coast, had to be rescued from Seattle, Wash., junk dealer who started to strip the fittings from ' her. The -ycarold lumber ves sel was towed to San Francisco. The Eureka, built across the bay in Tiburon in IffiW as the I'kiah once laid claim to the title of "fastest double-ended ferry boat In the world." She reputedly could do 18 knots. THE DOCTOR SAYS Blood Type Plays Factor By W. G. IWANDSTADT, M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Assn. One of the greatest hazards to the newborn is a result of Rli incompatibility. If your blood Is Hh-positive you are one of the S3 per cent with this type of blood. The rest have Bh-ncgutlve blood. This grouping has nothing to do with the A-B-0 groups which must be determined before a transfusion is given. Rh-ncgative mothers who are married to men who are Hh-positive may give birth to babies who have erythro blastosis, a blood-destroying dis ease that caused many, deaths before the cause was discovered. A woman with Mi-negative blood may become sensitized to Hh-positive blood through having had a transfusion with Hh-nosi- tive blood or through carrying a baby whose blood Is Ith-positive like the fattier s. A woman who becomes sensi tized during pregnancy but who has not had a baby with erythro blastosis has a good chance of having a baby that is normal. Or it may have a blood disease, which is mild and can be easily controlled with a few small trans fusions of Kh-negntlve blood But once the mother is sensi tized, the dancer to the I n f a n t becomes greater with each suc ceeding pregnancy. The erythroblastic baby may appear to be normal at birth, but becomes jaundiced within a few hours. Tlie jaundice Increases rapidly and may obscure the pal lor that would gn with Ihe in fant's anemia. This anemia is due to the fact that the sensitized mother has developed antibodies that destroy the baby's Kh-positive blood cells These antibodies are transferred to the baby through the placenta and umbilical cord. In severe cases tlie baby can be saved it the possibility of the disease is recognized in advance and arrangements are made to give the baby an exchange transfusion. This is a massive transfusion that replaces all of the baby's Rh pnsitive blood with blood from an nh-ncgative donor of tlie same A-B-0 group. Since the mother's antibodies arc destructive only to Rh-posilivc cells, the transfused Rh-negalivo blood is not affected and the baby survives. When an Rh incompatibility is suspected, another procedure Is also used to improve the baby's chances. Oddly enough, this is the induction of lalior 14 to 28 days ahead of the expected day of de livery. Tliis is because the trans fer of destructive antibodies to the infant's hlood occurs at an ever- accelerating rate in the last weeks of pregnancy. Although, as pointed out in a previous column, the development ot tlie baby in the uterus to full term has many advantages, this is one instance in which early induction of labor is tlie lesser of two evils. POLLY'S POINTERS Economy Lesson . POLLY CRAMER Newspoper Enterprise Assn. DEAR POLLY-Our daughter's wedding had to be arranged on very strict budget, tor her album of wedding pictures, I covered a cloth-covered notebook with leftover pieces of her bro cade wedding dress. First a lay er of old cotton flannel sheeting was put around the outside cover for padding. Pieces of the bro cade were cut so they lapped generously over the outside to the inside and held in place with that popular, all-purpose, milky look ing iglue that dries clear. As s finish, cardboard pieces, also cov ered with the dress fabric, were fitted to the inside of the cov ers and it concealed the raw edges that lapped over from the outside. We bought the usual ace tate jacket cover for protection. Filler sheets were bought at an office supply store and the total cost was $3 in comparison to ones we saw that started at $12. Old leather and suede jackets also make luxurious looking scrapbook covers. Rubber cement should be used to hold these in stead of the glue. MRS. F. M. K DEAR IPOLLY-When taking a group picture of small children who sre not the least bit inter ested in having their picture tak en, 1 have someone creep kip be hind me land pretend to be put ting something on top of my head like a small toy dog or cat. Immediately there are quiet chil dren with smiling, expectant faces waiting to see my reaction All my pictures are a success. MRS. H. K. B. DEAR POLLY My husband thought up what we call a Hat Hanger. Take a wire coat hanger and cut off the hook and coil. Bend the wire portion into the shape of a V and loop each end so that it can be hailed to the inside of a closet door. A man's hat can be easily slipped into the loop so the wire supports the crown. MRS. R. S. DEAR POLLY-lnstcad of lin ing kitchen gadget drawers with paper, use turkish toweling. It will keep the gadgets from slip ping to the back of the drawers when they are opened and closed. They are certainly much easier In keep in order.
