Schwab ana JUdwara N. , ! iijve issued statements to the 5hjpbuiUers urging them to remain at eir tasks and pointing out that there u be jobi for them in the yards for "ars to come, because 15,000,000 tons f shippi" are to be buit and only. ofto 000 ions have been completed las ".'e- Majoi -General Williams has also 'V-jed a waI'nin& to ordance depart ment employees informing them that jwe will be time enough to think of peace when the peace protocol is act ually signed. The same condition applies to other Tar industries, and the department of labor will maintain its war program until the necessity for it has ended. Men employed in essential war indus tries should remain until the labor aemobiliZ'ltion plans of the department are announced. The factories will be turned over eventually to peacetime production, but the time for that change has not yet come. The shipping board, it is said, needs a large number of men, not only to build ships but to man them when they are completed. Because of the prompt announcements of Mr. Schwab and Mr. Huriey, the shipyards have lost comparatively few men since the peace talk began. Hog Island's experience has shown that riveting can be steadily improved, even by experienced journeymen rive ters, provided the men reali?e the necessity for consistent and sustained effort in turning out work, according to the department of labor. In the month of October, the aver age number of rivets driven per hour bv the gangs at the yard advanced al most steadily from 19 to 26, and even the student riveters improved their average from 11 or 12 an hour to 16. The best record in an October week was made by Yard Number 9, with an average drive of 36.9 rivets an hour for each sang. Yard number 10 fol lowed close with an average of 34 riv e;s each hour. Increased eriiciency on the part of the riveters will soon, it is believed at the yard, lead to the fulfillment of Mr. Schwab's prediction that Hog Island would eventually be driving 200,000 rivets a day. it was never Intended, nor is intended now, to block this great movement tor national prosperity with the de claration of peace. ; u We are only now" beginning our program of ship construction. The re moval of 'the emergency can not ahd will not bring an end to the world's need for ships, nor prevent us from carrying out our program to a suc cessful conclusion. We shall continue to use all the facilities of Shipbuild ing that business economy rwill permit. "I meanthat all shipbuilders who live up to the expectations placed in them by the Government will be ex pected to continue to build ships. They, shall be encouraged to do so. There will be plenty of work for every ef ficient yard. . "With" the return , of thousands of ablebodied, disciplined, and hardened men who "were called to the colors, labor problems in the shipyards will not be so serious,. Many of these men will "be absorbed back into th,e mining,, transportation, milling, 'and fabrica tion industries, and their addition to the strength of industrial America will relieve ' the difficulty that is now experienced in getting materials to the shipbuilders. "The demands for the expert worker will be greater than ever, because the large part of the 'task of completing our program of ship construction is still before us. 'More riveters, ship fitters, chippers, calkers, bolters-up, riggers, draftsmen, . and foremen and executives will be needed, after the war.". Mr. Hurley's opinions are backed by Charles M. .. Schwab, Director General o.f the Emergency Fleet, corporation, who refers to Mr. Hurley's statement as from "an indisputable' authority," and emphasizes , that the coming of peace will find America only at , the beginning of her job of building ships. U. S. Employment Service Bulletin. The Royal -will undoubtedly 'have an other record-breaking week beginning today, judging from advance reports. of the performance of Ray Ewing's Hawaiian Maids Company,' which come for a week engagement. This organi zation, a new one in the east and south, has been consistently breaking house records everywhere and comes to Wil mington with tneir big organization intact, the same thai has played the biggest tabloid -circuits of America. Special and elaborate scenery,, a cho rus that looks like a two dollar show and wardrobe that came right off Broadway, patterned after one of the season's successes, these will add to the attractiveness of Mr. Ewing show which will present tabloid versions of musical comedy pluys that are origin al and presented in an admirable man ner. Vaudeville acts of which the show carries several, will enliven the action The following description of home sickness as a torce tending, to lower the efficiency of industrial organiza tions should be of interest to the ser vice department of the LiDerty yard, whose purpose is to take into account and deal with all the subtle elements of human nature bearing upon the ac tivities of the shipyard: "Homesickness, according to a wes tern investigator, is one of the chief reasons why workmen do not remain on their jobs. H. M. Barratt writes in the Salt Lake Tribune some of the experiences of Utah men who were brought from their native state to jobs in the East. the men had, many of them, never been away from home before, and the change was too much for them.

The welcome that Italy has given to the work of the Red Cross is well ex pressed by the signal honor that has just been paid to Henry P. Davison-, chairman of the war council of the Red Cross in the presenting to him of the decoration . of the grand pfficer of the crown of ; Italy, a military and civil order founded by King Enanuel 11, and also by giving him thee. Cross of Merit of the Italian Red Cross. The latter order is held only by four-persons, one of te four being the Duchess D'Aosta, a member of the royal family whom he Italians idolize for her work. In Mr. Davidson's acceptance of the honor paid to him by Italy he declared that he appreciated the fact that it was giveghroush. him to the JLxgLet can people end that he receive d is "as" the representative of the American Red Cross which he called "the col lective heart, of America." Ckrlstmas Parcels. Red Cross members are to have the opportunity of sending Christmas par cels to those American soldiers in France who have no one here to re member, them. That there are many such soldiers among the more than 2,- 000,000 now overseas is one of the pa thetic facts revealed by the receipt at Red Cross headquarters of hundreds of Christmas parcel labels. Each soldier in the Pershing forces has received one of these labels, with instructions to send it to the person in this country from whom he wished to receive a Christmas package. Soldiers without relatives or friends in the United States were directed to forward their labels to Red Cross national headquar ters, and the large number already re ceived indicates there, are many more to come. In order that these soldiers may share in the general distribution of Christmas cheer the Red Cross has arranged to divide their labels among the -Red Cross divisions with instruc tions to distribute them among the Red Cross chapters. Each chapter receiv ing such labels will distribute its share to anyone who volunteers to send Christmas parcels to men without relatives. It is anticipated that where such labels are available to the public, the demand for them will be so great, that chapters will adopt the principle. of first come first served, in their 'dis tribution. Many persons have asked the Red Cross how they might play Santa Claus to some boy overseas, and this arrangement will enable them to do so. I ' ajjag;s-a. - tm n hi Mis Lillian Dalley, vrtth.

"The Shuttle." Francis Hogson Burnett's famous novel of international romance, "The Shuttle," was adapted for film use by Constance Talmadge by Select Pic tures, in accord with its policy of star photoplays for star artistes and is to day's attraction r at the Grand. Mrs. Burnett has an-enviable ecord of pop- riarovels, almost all of which, have been dramatized and many of them picturized as well. Her first great suc cess was "Little Lord Fauntleroy," in which Wallace Eddinger, now a lead ing matinej idol and ,then an infant prodigy, made his debut in the title role in the orfg.nal production. This novel is undoubtedly one of the best known works of juvenile fiction. "Lit tle Lord Fauntleroy" has, of course, been shown on the screen,, starring Ef fle Shannon.- ' "The Shuttle" is perhaps the most polished product of Mrs. Burnett's pen, for it is a fast-moving story of un usual dramatic force with a universal appeal. As Bettina Vanderpc 1, the bri6k, independent, energetic American girl, who brings her elder sister, Lady Anstruthers, back to ealth and spir itual well-being, Constance Talmadge repeats the sensational success as a dramatic star which she registered with "Scandal." aext time you buy calomel ask for purified calomel tab- tHat are entirely free DtH sickening and sali. n effects. - ii i n . . 1 1 - . . uj uaprvrra. Emergency Work Room In Paris. So numerous are the emergency needs for surgical dressings that four emergency work rooms have been op ened by the Red Cross In Paris to fill this need. While the surgical dress ings made in America are sufficient to meet ordinary needs, yet an unusual demand- from field dressing stations, lack of shipping space and delay in transportation often cause the supply of surgical. dressings to be almost en tirely depleted. In fact on more than one occasion after an unexpected de-r mand fof these dressings there have been none at all in the form of front line packages, ready for shipment from Paris. The emergency work rooms were first opened in July and the ini tial one employed 370 women arid 26 men. This work room produced 100, 000 front line parcels of surgical dress ings. Three succeeding work rooms Jiave been opened since the first one rmd they employ several hundred workers:' One of these rooms is op erated entirely by Russian women ref ugees who are in dire need of employ ment and these women knit into sweaters and socks the surplus wool which the Red Cross has on. hand. The workers in the strictly surgical dress ings rooms, as well as the knitters, are paid workers for they are recruit ed from the ranks of those in direct need.' The employment is . life-saving to these people and the work is wel comed by the Red Crotes. "The Eagle Eye." Detective "William J. Flynn, former ly chief of the U.
