Van Hise. The Van Hise is one of 190 lake ves- sels\which the United States took over on the Great Lakes when ‘America entered the war. Forty-eight of these were brought out before the closing in of ice last winter, and 35 more sub- sequent to the opening of navigation | Many were too long tor} last spring. the Welland canal to accommodate and the problem of transportation was easily solved by cutting the ships in| two amidship, bulkheading the open; ends and rejoining at Montreal and Qtiebec: for the Atlantic voyage to American shipyards. With the exception of the Van Hise } those now coming out which are too long for the canal locks are being handled the same way, but in this ves- sel ‘there was encountered the prob- lem of a breadth of beam six feet greater than the width of the canal Ships of the size of the Van Hise— a 9,000 ton deadweight carrier—are needed; it was impossible to widen the locks; and the engineers of the shipping board were instructed to solve the problem. his they apparently have done by planning, after the ship has been cut in two amidship to overcome the han- dicap of length, to bulkhead up the two halves remove mosts, funnels ant deck houses, watertight the deck, place steel pontoons on one side of each halved hull, fill the other side with water and tip each half on one edge. This will give to each half a breadth, measuring fro: deck to keet, of 25 feet, allowing sufficient room to tow the sections through the locks. Work of getting the Van Hise ready for this trip is underway and it is ex- pected the floating will be done late in August, which would allow suffi- cient time to put the ship together and arrive her in the Atlantic before the advent of cold weather and ice blockades. F, A. Eustis, special agent for the United States shipping board in charge of the Great Lakes district, de- clares ‘there is no doubt but that this problem, one of the most unique ever undertaken by marine engineers, will be safely carried out. The work of building new vessels. and of preparing old lake ships for ‘ ocean trade, according to Mr. Eustis, is progressing rapidly in every lake port. “Fourteen ship yards located at Duluth, Superior. Milwaukee, Chicago. Detroit. Toledo, Cleveland Buffalo. ant Astabula, O., are working night and day. ‘The 142 ‘lake steamers already launched or tobe brought out as this Year's program will average 3,500 deadweight tons carrying capacity, thereby adding to American shipping approvimately 500,000 tons. Of this tonnage, 130 are.new ships and 12 are ,old, and all are of steel with one ex- -ception. BUY, 8, 8 GELATINE HELD TO BE GREATEST FOOD CONSERVOR In Mother's Magazine for August, Dr.Goudiss pays a remarkable tribute to gelatine. He states that the use of gelatine in American homes has almost doubled in a year, and is now a milé ‘lion pounds a month. ; A million pounds of gelatine makes || about '200 million servings. Used as dessert it requires little sugar. Each million pounds of gelatine, used to| displace other sorts of desserts. will save about ten million pounds of su- gar and some 2 1-2 million pounds of flour. To sweeten fresh fruit .or to make Preserved ‘fruit requires from three to four times as much sugar as to make an equal quantity of gelatine dessert. Other forms of desserts re- quire bgth sugar and flour. But gelatine is also a great’ saver ADD 500,000 TON s| sa problem that the) “SSOUTH, ORKNEYS P ANTARCTIC OCEAN WHERE’LL WE SEND KAISER ; BILL?
