PAGE FIVE MANY Sill VESSELS Biiiteii iMDMBERS'IIHOIIITIES SI( New York World Has Inter esting Story Sunday- Wil mington Mentioned. . As much interest is being manifest ed in the building of two four-masted schooners by the Wilmington N Iron Works at the shipbuilding plant of the Wilmington Marine Railway Company, on Eagles' Island the following articles from yesterday's frfew York World, which tells of the. revival of wooden ship construction and refers to the vessels being constructed here, will be of much interest locally. The article says: Under construction in the various shipyards of the United States" and Canada are 169 large sailing vessels, int hiding those with auxiliary power. Demand for bottoms since the war bfgan brought tfee winged freighters to the front, and the enormous reve nues they have earned have prompted shipping men to take up 'wind-jamming' again who had given up the sail ing craft for the faster but costlier vessels.

Advt. 10-5-7t Employee! to Prevent Snread of Dread Disease '- While it is not -the intention of the authorities to work ' any unneces sary 'hardship on occupants of the Colonial ; Apartments every measure Pjpssible to prevent the spread of an: epidemic of 'T infantile',, paralysis wilK be taken. That much 'was ar rived jat this morning when the Board of Health-met in the office of Mayor P. Q. Moore, following the jaurntining of the Colonial Apart ments yesterday afternoon, when the three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs; E. C" -Chandler . was reported -as hav- inmfahtile paralysis. The Board of Health I met last night and regulations embodying the following provisions were passed after much discussion. "That all adults aver 15 years of age who are at present-in the Colonial Apartment house be allowed to leave the building under the supervision of tn$ quarantine officer. After leaving they- shall not bexallowed to return to the building for two weeks. . Such adults as remain, together with the children, shall not be allowed to leave the building for two weeks. "The child which now has the in fantile paralysis shall be removed to the isolation building of the James Walker Memorial hospital, with the permission and approval of the board . of managers of said institu tion. "An officer shall be on duty at the Colonial Apartment house to enforce the regulations. "Adults without children leaving the building may do so within 48 hours ' from and after 6 p. m., Octo ber 8th, 1915. They may take with them such personal belongings as they may desire. This also applies to fathers of families. Mothers desiring to leave the apartment house may do so within the time limited after dis infection of person and such cloth ings as it is desireG to be removed in a manner to be prescribed by the quarantine officer. "Children residents in Colonial Apartment house but not - at this time within the building shall return to building for the period of quaran tine or shall be quarantined wher ever found and the. regulations here in prescribed shall apply to all -places where such children may be found." The case reported yesterday, which is of a very mild nature, is the third that has, developed in Wilmington this year, and the authorities are de termined to prevent an outbreak of the dread malady if this Is possible. Numerous persons, mostly people liv ing at the Colonial, appeared before the Board of Health this morning and asked that the measures be made less stringent. It was suggested that the front, or Market street entrance be closed and the dining-room en trance kept open. The board prom ise to investigate and do everything possible for the comfort and conve nience of those living at the Colonial. Others appeared before the board and urged that the most stringent measures be taken to prevent a spread of the epidemic, declaring that the health of the community could not be reckoned in dollarsand cents. Some were of the opinion that a house, regardless of who occupied it, should be placed under quarantine if infantile paralysis developed there, but those people who are living at the Colonial and must either keep out or s(ay in were of a different opinion. The removal of the little Chandler "oy to the James Walker Memorial y that the quarantine . . . . rt wo . rtllratintl J unless other cases develop there, while if the child had been kept there the quarantine would have been kept in force for eight weeks. Because numerous families left, the Colonial yesterday afternoon when . iearned that the Chandler child's v ailment' had been pronounced infan tile paralysis it will be necessary to quarantine houses about the city. One lady, with her baby boy, left the city, going to Greensboro to visit relatives, and already Dr. Nesbit, county health officer, has notified the Greensboro health authorities of her arrival there. Dr. Nesbit pointed out tais morn ing that it will neither do to be too timistic an(j he declared that to become panic-stricken would be Am-Iequally as ad if not worse. He is conndent tnat the situation can be j handled if the people will co-operate ani iend every' assistance by follow- ing instructions. One gentleman pointed ovt that the Virginia health authorities had agreed that 97 per cent, of all the for the convenience of the people liv ing at the Colonial would be done. Dr. Nesbitt is of the opinion that the weather has little to do with the disease, as Norway, where it is very cc Id, had gone through with a severe epidemic. Dr. Nesbitt told the Board of Health that the French Academy, after a thorough investigation, had stated that it had no reason to be- lieve the disease belonged in the class of contagious diseases. He Went further and pointed out that in fantile paralysis had developed in v 'Bon Mafche Will Be Operated Similarly, to Other Stores of Same Company. : Since the informal opening of the Bon Marche last - Monday morning, at which time the people of. Wilming ton were welcomed into its varied assortments of. seasonable and fresh merchandise the store's patrons are to be introduced shortly ; to an inno vation in the ay( f 1 netf modern, up-to-date fixtures rf or the balcony which wil arrive the : early part of the week. -While ;tlie task of remod eling: 'a , stores of the . Bon ; Marche's scope is no easy matter, as fast as the .fixtures can be secured from the manufacturers they will, Jie, installed and every means employed to expe dite the complete refurnishing of the store in preparation for the formal opening,,- whichJwiU occur in the near " future. v ' Through " daily an nouncements the Bon Marche's ad vertising man ..has, acquainted the public yith the delightful variety of merchandise carried in stock at all times. It is of more than passing interest to understand the manner in which Wilmington's new merchan dise establishment will be managed. A system is in operation at the new store whereby a customer calling for any article not found in stock is- im mediately posted by order to v the management and the articles are then' secured, -their idea being to have in stock, those articles which pa trons require. The Wilmington store will be operated under the same prin ciples, system and method of mer chandising and advertising and:with the same hospitalities, courtesies, lib eralities and safeguards as is in operation by their Asheville store. The Wilmington store will offer the usual high service and maintain the usual high standard always to be found in a modern mercnandise es tablishment of its kind. For the satisfaction of people who desire a collection of up-to-the-minute merchandise they have assem bled complete stocks of actual wor thy merchandise at moderate prices only possible to usually large pur chasing power. Fashion is not always a question of price, but of a store's ability to incor porate it in lesser cost merchandise, and this appears to be the rule at the Bon Marche.. As previously announced, Mr. Lip insky believes that full safeguards, as to quality, integrity of material and manufacture, accuracy of label ing freshness and. desirability of merchandise, full assortments, abso lute guarantee'1 and straightforward dealing, belong as much to goods sold at lesser prices as to those sold at greater price. These ideals and aspiration have been tried out, and they have launch ed their Wilmington store in its en tirety so far as it relates to full as sortment of merchandise, with confi dence that it has met with the ap proval of the people. Throughout their present store and the new store to be born at the for mal opening, the management has kept in mind satisfactory service to the buying public. IS MAKING GOOD.

It has been said by economists that France would become rich on what America wastes, while Germany's bull dog strength is based on efficiency and ef ficiency is nothing more or less than thrift. England, the richest .of all na tions, produces the greatest amount of capital through savings, while every other person in Japan has an account in some form of saving. Progress is based upon savings, whether applied individually or col lectively, and people generally are awakening to the importance of sav ing and thereby making provisions against future conditions. Here in Wilmington the building and loan as sociations" are putting forth a strong arm of support on which those with a saving inclination may rely and that these associations have been of material benefit to the community in upbuilding the city is best evidenced by the thousands who are weekly availing themselves' of this avenue of saving. After ten years of successful man agement and a maturing of ten series, the Hanover Building and Loan Asso ciation opened up a new series on Sat urday, Oct. 7. Stock in this associa tion is 25 cents per share, and at ma turity is worth $100. The association is one of strength, having had no bad loans and earning over 7 per cent. Mr. H. F. Wilder is secretary and treasurer of the association, including officers and directors of Wilmington's best business and professional citizens. WAS SLIGHTLY CUT.

Mr. John Johnson, a resident of Greenfield Park, was cut but not ser iously injured early last night by an unknown man when he remonstrated with three persons against kicking his dog. Mr. oJhnson was carried to the James Walker Memorial Hospital for treatment and was later removed to his home. The kicking of the dog and the use of profanity in the presence of "Mrs. Johnson, who was accompanying her husband to ar spring of water jiear the house, caused the trouble.
