tensely interested in what the United
States is going to do toward increas-

and they are anxious to do everything
possible to assist in the plans. Only
one thing did they have to suggest;
they were unanimously agreed that un-
der no consideration should workers
in the yards be permitted to join the 4
armed forces. When England went to ’
war the shipbuilding concerns encour-
aged their employes to enlist, but now
and for some time past, with assist-
ance of the government, former em- !
ployees are being released from the ’
army and the navy to return to their
work. A shipbuilder or a man with
a knowledge of shipbuilding is worth
ten times as much to his country in a /
shipyard, company officials say, as he
is in the armed forces.
The builders of ships for Britain have
all the material they need and grad-
ually they are getting a sufficient num- '
ber of men to do the work that only
men can do. Female workers are all
very well, they say, but a woman can-

Special to The Tribune.
New York, Oct. 17.-—The growing re-
lization throughout the United States
of the immense part in the development
of our full war efficiency to be played
by our coal supply and the measures
being taken by the government to in-
crease coal production and economic
distribution makes highly interesting
an analysis of the efficiency of the
plants which are to turn this coal into
useful work, published in its monthly
bulletin by the National City Bank of
New York.
The mines of the United States at
present produce about 600,000,000 tons
of coal a year, and every ton of this,
and more, is needed to supply power to
the industries working under wartime
pressure. If 150,000,000 tons more coal
could be added to our yearly supply, it
would represent an addition of incal-
culable value to the immediate striking
power of the country’s resources—
would mean that Germany would feel
the weight of oUr opposition just that
much sooner, and more heavily.
No such increase in production is
likely to be realized by the miners, ac-
cording to present indications. But- the
experts employed by the National City
bank to draw up its analysis estimate
that the wastage of coal due to. the
relative inefficiency of the average
present- day steam power plant in the
United States amounts to just that
figure—150,000,000 tons a year.
This does not mean merely that if
all steam power plants in the country
were aS efficient as it is theoretically
ranged that the steeds appointed for
the next day’s work shall be ready
an hour before dawn. As the first rays
of the sun light up the aerodrome, the
machines are wheeled out on the
“Tarmac,” oiled and attuned for the
morning’s flight?

Glasgow, Aug. 20.—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—The ship-
builders of Great Britain, who soon will
be turning out virtually nothing but
standard Ships and war vessels, have
one advantage over the shipbuilders
of the United States that will be hard
to overcome. They have nearly all
their materials at their back doors.
From the decks of ships in one of
the yards in the north of England, for
instance, everything used in the con-
struction of Vessels is within sight.
Iron is extracted from hills that look
to be almost across the street. Coal
comes from the same place. On he
other side of the yard are great coke
ovens, smelters, furnaces and rolling
mills. Plates and steel forms may be
carried from the mills to the ships un-
der construction in carts drawn by
horses. A single company extracts
the ore, prepares it with its own fuel
and sends it away from its own plant
as finished ships ready for the sea.
There are many such examples here in
the north. The success of more than
one of th shipbuilding concerns may
be partially traced to the proximity of
materials used.
So great is the supply at the dis-
posal of the shipbuilders that in many
cases they have entered into the man-
ufacture of other things than ships.
One yard, which/ owns a great rolling
mill, aurns out, in addition to Steel for
its own tremendous needs, something
over 2,000 tons weekly of great steel
forms which are shipped away to be
made into projectiles. Another yard
has turned over, some of its buildings
and sheds to the actual making of pro-
jectiles from steel taken from its own
plant. Still another is engaged almost
solely upon the construction of stan-
dard ships and thereby has released
quantities of its equipment to mak-
ing “steel for the Germans.”
Another had a large stretch of land
in the rear of its place which before
the war was used mostly as a slag
dump and a storage yard for steel. All
this has been cleared away and now
the site is covered by a big airplane
factory. Needless to say, this plant
is so isolated that the Germans never
could locate it, and if they did know
where it was they never could dam-
age it.
The shipbuilders of Britain are in- i

but the statement of an expert that
at least one-fourth of the coal at
present mined in the United States
represents preventable waste is none
the less impressive. It means not
only that one-fourth of the coal mined
is wasted; it means that in a time
when every industry in America is
crying for labor, one-fourth of the la-
bor involved in mining, handling and
transporting coal and shoveling it in-
Behind the British Lines in France,
Aug. 29.—(Correspondence of The As-
sociated Press.)—Night, as well as
day, is full of work and hustle at the
army aerodrome. Night flights are
not frequent, but the night is the time
when the mechanics are busiest, put-
gting everything right for whatever
tomorrow may bring forth.
Long after the sun has sunk beneath
the tops of the hangars and the trees
have changed from green to black, the
hard-worked airplanes drift homeward,
crossing the evening sky line like
black specks on a purple cloth and
landing with a deep droning on, the
clipped grass, lame and weary from a
long afternoon’s work over the lines.
The day’s work is finished; reports
are handed in, and the pilots saunter
down to their mess-tent among the
trees. The mechanics appear, wheel
the machines into their respective han-
gars, and the night’s work is begun.
It is seventeen miles to the shell-
holes of No-Man’s Land, and all the
horrors of war. The long white road,
thick with the dust of transport, is
silent. The flat aerodrome is in
darkness but the hangars, looming-
black against the evening sky, are
bright within. There is much to be
done. Mazes of wires must be over-
hauled; many must be replaced or taut-
ened. The enemy antiaircraft artillery
has been active and some of the planes
bear witness of its work. The canvas
wings of one machine are riddled and
need long and patient attention before
it will be fit for service again. On
another, the flying struts must be re-
newed. On another, the wings are out
of shape, the result of strining ma-
neuvers in aerobatic fighting.
The whole means a hard seven
hours of work for the entire staff of
mechanics. They settle down to it as
to fireboxes is wasted, a tribute to
inefficient machinery.
The proof of this fact is presented
for the National City bank by Professor
Robert W. Anderson of Stevens Insti-
tution of Technology in a brief table.
The most efficient steam engine yet
produced and in actual service, he
finds to be the Ljungstrom turbine,
which uses only 8 pounds of steam and
.91 of a pound of coal an hour for each
horse power and which attains 74.7
1 per cent of the maximum efficiency
theoretically possible in a steam en-
! gine. The Ljungstrom turbine, so far
as known, has not yet beep introduced
into this country, but there are many
1 big power plants now in service in
the United States which have proved
their ability to deliver power at the
' rate of 1.12 to 1.3 pounds of coal per
horse power an hour, showing in ac-
tual service an efficiency from 65.5 to
66.2 per cent of the theoretically pos-
sible.
But for each of these there are
3 thousands of smaller, older plants,
whose installation dates back to the
• nineties, or thereabouts, single-expan-
sion engines, the best of them fitted
- with automatic valves, but some with
; simple slide valves, and even without
condensers, that are doing well if they
get their coal consumption down to
; anywhere from 2.15 up even to 5 or
, more pounds per horse power an hour.
’ Any steam engine today that burns
; more than 2 pounds of coal per horse
; power an hour is an inefficient en-
gine; yet there are probably more such
engines in this country today eating
, up our coal pile than there are deliver-
, ing power below that figure. At any
, rate, there are enough of them, so
; that even those fractions of a pound
■ of coal an hour per horse power mount
up into millions of tons of wasted
coal a year.

“I have actually gained forty pounds
Since taking Tanlac and feel like a
man with a new lease on life,” said
D. S. O’Neil, a well known employe of
the Ofallin Supply Co., residing at 1647
Perry street, Denver, Colo., recently.
“I have been laid up with rheuma-
tism for five months,” continued Mr.
O’Neil, “and my left leg was swollen
up to twice its natural size. I suf-
fered from head to foot, in every joint,
also had pleurisy at the same time and
anyone could have heard me blocks
away holloing, I was in so much misery.
My liver was out of order, my kidneys
bothered me and my stomach was so
upset that there were many things I
couldn’t eat. I did all I could trying
to get relief but nothing helped me.
“I tell you I came very near passing
out and really thought I would. On
June the sixteenth, I began taking
Tanlac and on the ninth of July I went
to work, still taking Tanlac, gaining in
weight and strength all the time, and
I have been working regular ever
since that day. All the swelling is gone
and I don’t know what suffering is
any more. I can eat anything I want,
as much as I please, and have gained
all of forty pounds in weight. I have
no rheumatism now, no sign of pleu-
risy or any other -trouble. In fact, I’m
a perfectly well man and feel that it’s
nothing less than wonderful what Tan-
lac has done for me. I can recommend
Tanlac, believing I am telling the
people about a medicine that will help
them and I wouldn’t be without it again
for any amount of money.”
Tanlac is sold in Galveston by Schott
Drug Co., and । Star Drug Store under
the personal direction of a special Tan-
lac representative.— (Advertisement.)

New gadgets must be fitted, the engine
repaired and cleaned. Airplanes are
after all very delicate pieces of
mechanism and need continual atten-
tion. Without it they are useless, even
dangerous. The accuracy of hundreds
of measurements, the trustworthiness
of hundreds of parts, are essential to
good flying and reliability, and just as
much depends on these factors as oh
the skill of the pilot.
The airplane mechanic doesn’t share
the dangers of the field or the hard-
