MINT AT PHILADELPHIA
MANUFACTURES MEDALS
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—Every
medal that the United States govern
ment confers is made in the Phila
delphia mint. For the war depart
ment alone, the big federal money
factory is at present turning out
twenty-two types of medals. The
badges of honor awarded to Marshals
Foch, Haig and Joffre, and other dis
tinguished allied commanders, were
the product of the mint.
Marshal Foch Is reported to have
remarked that the American Dis
tinguished Service Medal is the hand
somest military decoration awarded.
About two hundred of these medals
of bronze and brilliant blue enamel
are made every week in this city and
turned over to the war department
for shipment to the camps and army
headquarters at home and abroad.
Many more of the military crosses,
awarded for valor, are being made.
More than five thousand of these have
already been shipped from the mint.
In manufacturing these medals ten Im
pressions are made by a hydraulic
press on a small square of bronze, be
ginning with one hundred tons pres
sure and increasing to two hundred
and fifty tons. After the die has been
stamped in this fashion, the cross is
cut out by machine. The medal is
then passed to workmen who fashion
the little cross-bars from which it is
suspended, ribbons are attached and
the decoration is placed in a box ready
for delivery.
The United States naval medal of
of honor is also made at the mint.
Here are manufactured the| various
kinds of medals awarded fqr sharp
shooting, marksmanship a<n other
honors of the service.
An order now being filled calls for
ten thousand Mexican service medals,
attractive bronze discs for the men
who were in the Vera Cruz expedition.
Now that the peace conference at
Paris has approved the award of dis
tinctive service medals to every man
who served in any of the allied armies
the Philadelphia mint might be called
to manufacture medals by the million.

PUFFED BRICK
CONSTRUCTION
FOR NEW SHIPS
OAKLAND, Feb. 24 (by Associated
Press).—March 15 has been set as 1
the date (or launching the flrst ,
‘‘puffed brick" vessel in the govern
ment’s concrete shipbuilding program.
It is scheduled to drop from the ways
of the San Francisco Shipbuilding
Company, on Government island, in
Oakland inner harbor,^ and officials of '
the concern who built the “Faith” are
confident, in view of present progress,
that the launching will take place
on time.
“Pouring” of two 1,500-ton oil tank
ers began at the plant the flrst of this
month. This was made a gala event
under the auspices of the Oakland
Chamber of Commerce. It is ex
pected that the second vessel will
leave the ways a day or two after the
flrst launching. I
The local yard has introduced sev
eral innovations in concrete ship con
struction. Chief among these is the
use of “puffed brick.” This is made
like ordinary brick, of a peculiar clay
containing a low percentage of silica.
When subjected to intense heat the
bricks puff up like popcorn in a hop
per. The product looks much like
coke, and is as light.
The “puffed brick” then are ground
up and mixed with cement. Thus, In
stead of using crushed rock, as in or
dinary concrete construction, about 40
per cent is said to be gained in the
lightness of the ship’s walls..
Another feature is the method of
constructing the forms. These are
built in standardized sections and
hinged with bolts so that they can be
forced up and put out of the way
when the concrete hardens. As soon
as a vessel is launched these forms
can be put back in place, the steel 1
rods installed, and in a few days pour
ing of another ship can begin. The
concrete ship experts say that this
arrangement makes it possible to turn
out a 7,500-ton vessel every three
months. Besides, only about 25 per
cent of lumber in the forms is wasted.
In only one respect does concrete i
shipbuilding resemble steel construc
tion. That is in the use of the pneu- j
matic hammer. As the concrete pours ;
between the sheathings, workmen turn i
their “rivet guns” on the steel rods, j
The vibration shakes the concrete :
into the smallest crannies.
The two concrete vessels being built :
on Government island resemble steel i
ships in their lines, being a large ad
vance, it is asserted, over the “Faith.” i
They will be launched sideways, be
cause it has been figured out that
sending a concrete vessel into the ,
water Btern flrst may subject it to a ,
damaging twisting strain. The boats i
really take a three-foot dive into the I
water, the ways being that distance j
above high water. It has been figured \
out that the three-foot drop with the I
side of the vessel going in broadside j
subjects the boat to the minimum of j
strain by spreading it over a large sur- )
face. |
FAMOUS REBEL LEADER
DEFEATED BY INFLUENZA \
\
MEXICO CITY, Feb 24 (Associated i
Press).—Four hundred and thirty-six
thousand, two hundred deaths were
caused in Mexico during 1918 by the
influenza, according to data published 1
by El Universal. This figure is be
lieved to be conservative, according
to the paper, as several states were
unable to furnish figures on the mor
tality. In others, it is added, the epi
demic still prevails. In Moreles, in
particular, few families escaped ill
ness. In fact, the influenza is cred
itd with having destroyed the power
of Emiliano Zapata, long the rebel
ruler of that state.

BAVARIANS PREPARED
FOR RECENT STORM
MUNICH. Jan. 23 (by mail).—So
many Bavarian Boldlers have failed to
return their rifles and munitions that
the central German government has
issued an order demanding the return
of this property to the government
within a specified time, under penalty
of heavy fine or imprisonment. The
same order applies to those possess
ing any army property such as wag
ons, automobiles or horses.
