GREAT NEED OF
SHIPS IS SHOWN
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 20.—“W«
are now turning out one 10,000-tor
ship about every five days, equipp
ed and ready for war.” When
Charles W. Schwab, . president ol
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
made this statement during an ad
dress before the City Club, great
applause gTcoted him. He wa:
speaking on the tremendous prepa
rations that are being made by th<
steel industry for the waging ol
the war, the necessity of Americar
ships for the handling of steel anc
and other home products to be sem
to foreign countries and the estab
iishment of trade supremacy foi
the United States after the war h
won. Mr. Schwab outlined the work
of his company as indicative of the
activities of the steel industry in
general.
“I wish to give you some little
idea of what is being done, al
though I am not allowed by the
Government to give many facts and
figures,” ho explained. ‘‘We are
erecting seven or eight new plants
at locations where labor is avail
able for carrying out the program
wo have undertaken. I estimate
that by the first of July, we will
have in our employ from 120,000
to 130,000 workmen for the plants
now under construction.
“We arc turning out war mater
ial at an untold rate, but we cannot
possibly hope to bo ready to do ef
fective work for many months t:»
come. The reason is evident. These
groat machines of warfare cannot
be manufactured quickly or easily.
For instance, take one of the new
16-inch navy guns, which is ap
proximately 90 feet long. All the
available workmen in the country
could not turn out one in less than
10 or 11 months, for that time is
required in the process. It is the
same way with howitzers which
throw their shells 15 or 20 miles.
“I build a great quantity of these
for our country and the Allies, and
with all of the shops and workmen
we can put on this job we have
been unable to make more than one
or two a day. The output of shells
in the United States prior to the
war was probably not more than
160,000 rounds, while the last re
port showed 1,000,000,000 rounds
and we believe the country shortly
will be capable of producing four
or five times this amount.”
Discussing the building of ships,
Mr. Schwab said that his company
is building from 40 to 50 per cent
of the steel ships of this country.

THIS LETTER MADE US BUY
Mr. A. Polet, Nome, Alaska.
Dear Sir:—We have studied the Commercial business of Alas
ka as thoroughtly as possible from this distance, t> see what
products it would bo avisablc to pack of which wo have an
abundance, and yet hard to get to you in its natural state.
Wo are about the largest handlers of Poultry, Eggs a:.d But
tors we3t of the Rockies, and there is no roason in our mind,
why wa should not get in touch with you direct.
Meoting with a great deal of difficulty in securing refrigator
space for dressed poultry, we hit on the novel idea of Canning
the fresh killed chickenc.
Wo gather the live chickens at our Poultry and Egg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being milk fed they arc kil
led and dressed.
The chickens is then cut in four part3 and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which retains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a ocm
pleto whole chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
We aro also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.
Our prices are as follows:
CHICKEN. No, 1 I-a lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, per can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH BICE. Per doz. $1.50, per can 15c.
