This reat is the pre-fa-fcrlcation of the ship's supports before they are placed in tne hull. Originat- ' : ' inff in its engineering department, the if idea of fabricating on the yard, apart A .from the construction of the vessel on - the way, tlfi steel supports used in the f bottom of the concrete ship, has been developed and worked out successfully In spite of the fact that engineers at j 1 otner concrete snipyaras na-a saia n could not be done. These pre-fabrl- cated supports, as they are termed, are constructed of long bare of iron in tricately woven together. With a "height of three feet and a length vary ing according to the tapering width of the ship, these supports are set i : horizontally across the hull of the ves i ; -l8el at intervals of five feet. In a 3,500 I j: "ton steamer such as the one under con struction at the Liberty yard, 63 of lese supports are required.- In other mcrete shipyards they have been in stalled piece by piece in the hull of the ship-form as it rested on the ways. iNot even in the Atlantus, the concrete m , hemp recently launcnea irom xne ijiu I "f jerty yard At Brunswick, was the pre fabricated method used in building J the supports. ! "Wrhft-n thft idea was first su sr greeted that each of the supports be built in a specially equipped shop and installed in ! the ships hull as . separate units, the idea was layghed at. Engineers in northern yards scoffed and said that it was. impossible, while even the steel workmen on the ways at the Liberty yard ..were doubtful atout the success not the proposed plan. But the engin- ering department believed that its idea was sound and proceeded to test it out. Several pre-fabrioated supports toave been constructed at the yard and Jone of them was lifted up by means fef-the yard's giant whirler and placed (Into position in the hull under con struction on Way No. 2 yesterday af ternoon. ' The results shown by this experiment were very encouraging The upport fitted into its place beautiful ly, requiring only a few minor adjust ments to make it perfect in every de- ail. This' experiment has proved con- jliiHivlv that the snnnnrta used in the concrete ship may be built up apart Jfrom the hull and be completely in istalled at the proper time. This meth- (od of prre-fabrication as devised by the Liberty shipyard is a great time-saver, AUlLiiig uiic Lime net cluiui xz icquiiou to install the supports by half. And of course a device that saves time also saves money, enabling the yard to produce a greater number of ships at lower cost. W. C.

Mr. Speaker comes to fill the position formerly held by Major Wilson, wh was recalled several weeks ago presumably to be sent to France. Mr. Spiker is no stranger to. many of the Liberty shipbuilders, having been connected with General Manager Fer guson, when Mr. Ferguson acted as assistant to Mr. Wig. head of the con crete division of he shipping board. General .Manager Ferguson returned from Philadelphia yesterday after spending the greater part of the week in the Quaker city. The outlook for the success of the concrete ship Is brightening every day, Mr. Ferguson states, as many skeptical members of the shipping board are changing their views, becoming more optimistic af ter noting the almost perfect record achieved by the Faith, the nrst con crete ship constructed. The degree of success obtained in building the At lantus at the Brunswick yard, the faultless launching, and the promise of an Irreproachable ship when the At lantus is fitted out for her maiden voyage have effectively quelched the dissatisfaction with concrete construc tion evidenced by certain members of the shipping board. Mr. Ferguson 6tates that his organization Is forging ahead in an effort to complete as soon as possible the two 8,500 ton vessels contracted for by the shipping board. After that there is no doubt, the man ager of the Liberty yard says, mut that other contracts now in the offing will materialize. A few members of Hhiribuildinfr force have resigned their positions because the work in which they have been engag ed . is completed. This is particularly Ka Ans-ineerme department. With only one type of vessel under construction at the yard, tne wuk oi designing and planning for the con struction of the two 3,500 ton ships has been practically completed and the department consequently has gone as far as it can at present. The Liberty yard commenced its Red Cross Christmas roll call yester day afternoon. Eight of the young la dies employed in the administration building volunteered to remain at the plant after the lunch hour and solicit new members when the men left the yard at 3:80 o'clock. Accordingly ev ery concrete shipbuilder when he stop ped working was asked to enlist with the Red Cross, and a great many of them responded by signing the mem bership card. In exchange for $1.00 the young ladies gave the shipbuild ers a Red Cross button to wear as a badge of honor, showing that he an swered, "Patriotically present" to' the roll call. Approximately 150 ship builders became members of the Red Cross during the afternoon, and be fore the week ends the Red Cross chapter hopes to have every man at the yard enlisted. The only require ment for the shipbuilder to Join the Red Cross is that . he "have a dollar and a heart." The young ladies con ducting Jhe roll call were Misses Wal ton, Young, Lawing, Truehaft, Boykin, Buck, Flck, Ellers and Robertson. school 3:30 p. m.; Luther League Wed nesday 8 p. m.

Another evidence of progress along educational lines is the announcement that girls are hereafter to be admitted to the courses of instruction given, by the Manila Y. M. C. A. (From the Mis sionary Review of the World.) The Sunday school work seems to Rev. J. L. McLaughlin, secretary for the Philippine islands, of the World's Sunday School association, to be one of the most -encouraging parts of -the whole missionary propaganda. He writes: "I was 'able,' to hold Sunday school conferences id two principal centers while I was in the south. Sllli man institute, the Presbyterian indus trial school, has over 800 students, and I was there for six days, holding meet ings every day and individual confer ences with the men.

C. Seegers, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, in the recent Thanksgiving service. He said in part: "This is the greatest Thanksgiving day in American history, and our chief executive speaks only too truly when he says: This, year we have special and moving cause to be grateful and rejoice. Complete victory, has brought us, not peace alone, but the confident promise of a new day as well in which Justioe shall replace force and Jealous intrigue among the nations. God has indeed been gracious to us.' "In view of theee signal blessings ef Almighty God, in full and ever deep ening conviction 'that it was God's hand that brought deliverance, let us ask in what spirit should w come to this Thanksgiving day? In endeavor ing to assist you irf reaching the prop er answer, let me euggest that we should ceme , humbly, prayerfully and hopefully.' . "We have, come out of this war. a great nation.- Our achievements have been the marvel and admiration ef the ,-world. The heroism and gallantry of our men and boys in army and navy, the generous offering of our resources in . food and money, our strength .

"This is no .time to boast of our superiority, to rejoice in 6ur invincl bleness; no tiine to turn Pharisee and say T thank God that I am not as other men are,' but to smile and say, 'God be merciful to me a sinner.' Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. Let us say not by might nor by Jower, but by the spirit, O Lord of hosts. It is his arm that hath given us the victory. Except' the Lord keep the city, the watchman stands on guard in vain. . t ' "We should come praying fJr for giveness, for the Lord's standard has not been ours. We have allowed the material to get a very strong grip upon us. His name has not been hal lowed; His will has not been . done. His day has been secularized. Selfish ness and. greed, have not beenNabsent. Man, as man. has. not been valued. In rejoicing, and. .giving thanks let ts not forget that the blessings have come in spite of our sins, and pray God for. His gracious forgiveness. "Pray also that we may attain to the high Ideals that will enable us to forgive. So much has been done to embitter the heart, so much to create hatred. It is the national tendency to t become vitriolic, to return evil for evil. Let us take the vows of St. Paul to heart. Let all bitterness and evil speaking be put away from us, and be kind, one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving ene another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. "Finally, ceme hopefully; . hoping that the "Lord of Hosts will $till "be with us. That God will always be ours, -No ene will rightly interpret American history who" fails to discern the finer of God In it. He has led us to high eminence In His providential dealings.
