OVER 85,000 MEN WILL BE EM
PLOYED TO CONSTRUCT NEARLY
THREE HUNDRED EMERGENCY
SHIPS.
PHILADELPHIA, March 4.—More ’
than one-third of the war vessels and j
i merchant ships called for by the
programme of the United States gov- j
I eminent are building in ship yards ■
along the Delaware river, according |
to figures which have just been made !
I public with the permission of the'
j Emergency Fleet Corporation. The ■
i tonnage contracted tor, according to
I government officials, has transformed;
I the Delaware Valley into the greatest ■
L shipbuilding center in the world, i
■' W. L. Ferguson, a representative of :
i the Emergency Fleet Corporation, I
i: imr ■ s that an army of about 85,000 ;
i st ip workers will be required to coni- ■
I plete the 272 ships, including war,
vessels, contracted for by the eleven .
shipbuilding plants between Trehton 1
’ and Delaware City.
Work on 120 cargo-carriers at the
I new government yard at Hog Island '
i> progressing and til's- plant -is en
gaging to turn out 6,000,000 additional
: tons in 1918. More than 2,250,000
' tons will be the Delaware river’s first
■ quota in the fleet which Uncle Sam
; relies on to help win the war.-
I At the new shipyard at Bristol, Pa.,
j forty ships are contracted for. Here '
more than 5,000 men are at work and
it is expected that 10,000 more will be ;
necessary tb complete the vessels on
schedule.
Ten vessels are being constructed
at, another new yard at Cornwells,
Pa.. The force there of 500. niep will
be increased to 2,000. At a well-known
Philadelphia shipbuilding plant mors (
than 60 ship-’ arc to be turned uuL ’
; Most of these ar 8 government craft on
i which more than 5,000 men are en-
I gaged. Another f misand is needed. ;
In the big yard at Camden, N. J, 1
j across the river from Philadelphia,;
7,200 men are building twenty-foil”
ships. More worke-s are needed here
also.
Two yards at Gloucester, N. J., are
turning out sixteen ships with a force
of about 3,000 men. Twice this num
i mer of men is needed.
Two large plants, one a new one,
at Chester, Pa., have contracted for
eighteen and twenty-six ships respec
tively. One plant has only 1,700 men '
on teh payrool and requires at least
3,000 more, according to the govern- '
ment figures. The oilier yard is em
ploying 2,000 men whereas, at least
5.000 men are necessary to complete (
its contracts.
The plant at Hog Island is now em
ploying about 10,000 workers and of- ,
ficials there estimate that at least
32,000 are needed.
Work in one plant at Wilmington, 1
Del., is progressing on thirteen ships '
on which 2,800 men are employed 1
This company is in the market for
another 1,000 workers. At another
plant in that city eight ships are be-'
ing guilt by a force of 1,000 men and ,
officials require 1,600 more.
A drive under the auspices of tlie '
government, is now being conducted
throughout the country to register all
men in the eighty-seven trades allied .
with shipbuilding. Many of these me- '
chanics'ere now engaged in other oc
cupations and it is' planned to trans-1
fer them to the seaboards without
disturzing industry.
Labor difficulties and shortage of '
steel and other materials, it is ex-;
pected will treble the original estimate
of the cost of the ships contracted.
for. Recent investigations of the
Deleware river plants indicated that'
most of the vessels being built will
be completed in schedule time.

For Burning Eczema
Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 35c, or SI.OO for
extra large size, get a bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
heals skin troubles, also sores, bums,
woundsand chafing. It penetrates, deanses
and soothes. Zemo is a dean, dependable
and inexpensive, penetrating, antiseptic ,
j liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you
> have ever used is as effective and satisfying. '

Mr. Dan Wolf, Hammond Bldg.&Mfg. Co., Hammond, La.,says;
I "Z am feeding Buckeye Hulls to milch cows and find
them a sati nectary filler when mixed with cottonseed
meal and other concentrates. At the present price of
feed stuff, Buckeye Hulls are the cheapest roughage on
the market.”
i t To secure the hr st results and to develop the ensilage Oder, wef the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting thorn down night and morning Ear the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

; ARE YOU PREPARED?
The most vital question in America today is individual
preparedness. The Great World War is causing us all to
I have an eye to the future—individual preparedness for any
.thing that may come, but
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU
.that the purchasing value of an American dollar today is
about half of what it was 10 years ago. With one important
.exception, everything we eat, wear or use, has grown con
stantly more expensive. This is one reason why Life Insur
anae stands preeminently alone among the things which
the American dollar i a buying today. Relatively figured,
i .there has been a very decided decrease in the cost of life
1 insurance during the past ten years.
WAR IS UPON US
We enter it reluctantly but proudly. We know for a cer
.tainty that many of our men “Over There” will never come
back. And yet a certain average death rate is just as sure
.among those of us who stay at home! Men are still subject
to all the ills that flesh is heir to, and the hazards of war
constitute one added reason for life insurance protection.
Mortality statistics shew that at age 35, out of 1,000 men 9
.will die before the year js out, but whether you will be one
of the 9 no one knows. *
. Theie is no better combination o f Investment, Savings and
Protection than that alorded by a policy in the MUTUAL
BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, of Newark, N. J.
.It is a purely mutual company founded in 1845, with no
stockholders and all the savings go direct to the policyhold
.ers. It was founded for a distinct social purpose—to distrib
ute losses among thousands which to the individual would be
overwhelming.
The assets of the company are diversified and of the
highest character. The Mutual Benefit has survived every
great panic in America. It went through the Civil War with
.credit to itself, and now offers" to the American people, at
this time of stress, secure life insurance protection, under a
liberal contract, at minimum cost. It is an American com
pany, operating on the mutual principle for the .American
people.
