Washington.—In its effort to, set a new record for rapid ship construction, the Baltimore Dry Dock and Shipbulld- ing company has cut in half the pres- ent average tlme for construction of contract .steel ships. This average for the 12 contract steels ships bullt to date is 130 5-68 days. In prewar days a year was regarded | as.fast time for building a steel vessel of or above 6,000 tons. The ten fastest bullt vessels for the shipping board have averaged 999-10 days between keel laying and delivery. The 5,500-ton collier Tuckahoe, record holder in this or any other year, was built in 87 days. On the list of the ten fastest built ships the ‘slowest time was 119 days. Here is the list: Tuckahoe, 5,500 ‘tons, New York Shipbuilding company, 37 days. % ‘West Lianga, 8,800 tons, Skinner,& Eddy corporation, Seattle, 78 days.

Many of the letters were returned ‘for the - reason the addresses did not call _ within the five days. E. BE. McDonald, of Bemidji, chair- -man of the Civilian Relief committee took the matter up with those in au- thority and is just advised that here- after the envelopes will carry the ten day return car instead of the five. Notwithstanding this increase in time he wishes to urge those expect- ing remittances to call -as frequently .as may be necessary for their mail, go that in the future letters carrying remittances will not be returned.

Meanwhile in Albania the Franco-Italians are allowing the Italians to rest. Bad weather in Flanders continued yes- terday. —— sommn’s INSURANCE WEST POINT GRADUATE NOT PAY IN LUMP SUM Washlngton, July 15.—W1despread impression that insurance in the mil- itary service is paid in lump sum after their death has led the war de- partment to make the announcement that paymerits of benefits under the|- war risk insurance act are made over “ZE a period of twenty years. s as The insurance is payable on the death of the insured on the basis of $5.756 per month for each $1,000 of insurance for 240 monthly install- ments.

Howevyer good and well meaning, ne man can bring that home sense. to a child that its ]ittle heart yearns for. ‘A ragged, dirty, poverty- stricken child is a blot upon humanity, If the child comes into. the world in an enyironment where squalor prevails it igsa concern of the community, or smd be, that a young life exists there and. measures should be taken to im- prove the condition of the child. £ The world has need of mothers, of mother-hearted women, = Woman can never rise to more glorious heights than' those of motherhood, Modeste Hannis Jordan writes in Humanitarian, In the wider spfiere opening for wom- en the most importaiit, the most conse- quential of all tasks that she may “turn her hand to,” are the tasks that will bring about better housing, feed- ing, education and what influences may be brought to bear -upon his young mind; how he grows to good citizen- ship, how he comes to recognize his du- ties ‘and responsibilities to his fellow en.
