The papers announce the astound- ing stounding fact that in the United States a ship has been •built and launched in twenty-seven clays, a speed to ship- building which easily beats all re- cords; whilst Mr. Ford, of motor -car fame, is turning out, they say, two submarine destroyers per day, in ad- dition to the 2,000 automobiles which is his average daily output. This is what is called intensive production, and the perfection of modern machin- eey and labor saving devices alone makes it possible. Regarding the wonderful rivetinget i n g performancesekye are now daily hear- ing. about, this v-orle used to be done by hand with the hammers, but now it done by a special tool driven by compressed air, and making 1,000. blows per minute, or 60,000 blows each 'hour.. By this hammer, easily manipulated by one man, rivets can be driven home at the rate of eight every minute. What this ;oleins to shipbuilding any shipwright will tell you, for there are thousands of steel rivets in a ship's construction. This is bat an example of the great speeding -up process which is going on in the world's work. It is_all to the good. It means less toil. and more leisure in the long run—that is, the same work which once took a week to accomplish can now often be finished in a.day. Fires occur in Canada in the ratio of one to every 600 people, and in _Europe in the ratio of one to every 3,000 people.

Convenient • Economical Delightful rlrl.y itart Poston] "There's a Reason" I (PING OF ARTI- FICIAL L TII lA :ATH R MANUFACTURED FROM COTTON GROWN IN THE SOUTH. l' irsi, Carded and Woven Into Cloth, Then Treated With Chemicals and Embossed. The cow of our fathers had a man- opoly upon the manufacture of cer- tain leathers and upon that rested one of her proud claims to fame, for no other animal produced a hide that would tan to the same grades of .lea- ther. The cow of the present day, howeuer•,,nrust look well to her laurels for slowly but surely science is en- croaching upon her domain and to- day man -macre "leather" vies ` with her product for popular fever in every mart of trade. The malting of leather substitutes is another step in indus- trial evolution where science, with the aid of modern machinery, has tak- en up the manu rectum of a substitute material where formerly only the na- tural product was considered. The leather substitute has its birth in the Southern States where the cot- ton of which it is made is grown and ginned. From the fields it goes to American mills, where it is carded and spun and woven into cloth. Both warp and woof are made of selected l threads, for to withstand the hard usage it is 'to receive the finished fab- ric must abric.must be of unusual strength, All of this strong cloth must undergo a most careful inspection for any un- evenness or other flaw in weaving which would affect the finished pro- duct. Shrunk and Dyed. The first step in the further pre- paration of this cotton fabric occurs in the huge dye vats where the cot- ton cloth is impregnated through and through with the dyes which give it the desired color. Here also the cloth is shrunk so that the finished mater- ial will not stretch or sag. Me fab- ric is now dried by passing' it over heated cylinders and is ready to be coated with the dissolved cotton solu- tions that give it the appearance and surface of leather. No pains can be 'spared in the preparation of these solutions, for on them depend the final success of the surface, and conse- quently the value of the fabric. The cotton is carefully purified to remove all traces of impurities, and is then. nitrated by being soaked in mixed acids. After many washings and careful' drying the nitrated cotton is dissolved in chemicals of different kinds, and carefully colored to produce the shade or tint desired. Different characteris- tics'in the finished Fabrikoid are;ob- tained by careful modifications of the solutions. • The cloth is coatedwith varying am ants of the solutions Y g o by being passed through long machines that lay on films of even thickness and uniform quality. Some of the finished fabrics 'Inuit be exceedingly thin and pliable, ancl require the use of light cloth and thin coating, while others must be thick and strong and require heavy cloth and thick coating. Proceeds of Embossing. The pyroxylin solution is applied in successive coats until a tough, wear resistant surface is built up. The fab- ric now abric.now resembles leather in feel, color and texture and is; ready for the graining which gives it the appear- ance of leather. This is clone by an embossing process which is the last step in the fabrication of this leather- like eather like material. IMPERIAL WAR :MUSEUM. Every Branch of"'SVomen's Work in the War Will be Represented. Plans are already under way for the great Imperial War Museum•which, in. many ways, will resemble both the British and the Victoria and Albert Museums. In other important re- spects the new museum will differ from. and even surpass the others, For one thing it will not be a mere re- pository for various specimens of the machinery of war. The whole idea will be to demonstrate, for all time, the superb mariner. in which England rose to the stupendous demands of this unexpected war which is the greatest of all history. Nothing could be finer. than the tri- bute which the Imperial Government pays to its women by creating a Wo- man's Work.Sub-Committee as part of the planning body of this great museum. In the years to come Brit- ish women will be free.citizens of that Empire they have helped so heroical- ly to save and lest they forget the tremendous odds against which their liberators fought, this great museum will serve as trreminder. In one way sed' another every branch of woman's work in this war will be shown. Records and charts will record the growth of women's work in all lines. Just how this work was carried on will be shown by Pho- tographs and, in some cases, by mod- els showing the women at their tasks. Specimens of their work will also be included in the exhibits.` With this, in each case, will go a full account of the work rias shown by official docu- ments, press cuttings, public speeches and ,lectures. Every kind of badge or uniform worn by, women war workers will be on exhibition and the corn- mittee are very' anxious to secure all badges including those given by ob- scure societies and societies whose identity was later merged into that of other bodies. Voluntary labor by women is to be honored in every pos- sible way. Belgian relief work, so very de- pendent upon voluntary workers at first, must not be overlooked and' other relief organizations which have ceas- ed to exist at the present time are too valuable a factor hi this world strug- gle to be oer1ookgd and are to have a place in the museum. Women who have performed' exceptional service for rile Allies' and have been decorated by thein are to have a niche all to themselves. Even those of us who have become accustomed to women in unheard-of occupations will feel a thrill of pride on seeing the complete• record in this museum of women in ship -yards, in skilled and unskilled la- bor, civic and government" positions, places of trust' and danger.

With their tools they made the frame- work Till it rose up high above them, High they built it up and quickly; And with hammers hard they nailed it, Nailed it• strong and nailed it neatly. And the cities came and helped them; Sent the parts right quickly toward them, And they took them working faster Till no seam was left unfinished, Till no spot was left unpainted. :In one scone. seven days they built her, Built her strong and built her steady, And she slipped into the water, ` As a swan onto the river, Like a lithe and graceful wild -bird, Like a wilts%bird flying southward, Thus the Tuckahoe was budded.

"1 think the greatest, the most radi- al, the most idealistic and the most fantastical declaration which any body of men has made has been by the Bolsheviki of Russia," said Mr. Samuel Gompers, the great labor lead- er. "And they have lost not only the meat from the bone, but the bone itself and have not even a shadow.", It is.announcecl that Russian plenipo- tentiaries have been sent to China to endeavor to secure food supplies for the Russian people, Disorganization of industry and agricultural produc- tion tin Russia under the Bolsheviki regime is resulting in famine, starva- tion and misery.
