EACH RIVET A
NAIL IN COFFIN
OF THE KAISER
WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. A drive
i for a ship riveting record in an Amer
! ican shipbuilding plant is like a drive
of the Yanks against the Hun lines in
. France. Both demand intensive prep
aration. Pershing’s commanders a t
the front and John Wolf, builder of
ships in the Hog Island yard are using
the same methods.
That is how Wolf, the world's chain
pion general forman ship riveter, set
i a new record with his gangs and
drove PJa.242 rivets in eight hours at
1 the Hog Island yard on Friday. Sep
. tember 13. Asked how he and his
men did it. Wolf said:
1 "Before the American troops over
yonder make a drive on the Hun they
make careful preparations days in ad
vance. l follow the same principle in
• getting ready for a riveting drive.
"Riveters were as scarce as monkey
wrenches in a parlor when I nch* Sam
* opened the hall in the shipbuilding
game. We've had to make 'em. that's
all
"Kvery one of my forty three gangs
of riveters were as green as lre>h
pine only a short time ago; I gut em
1 from the training school which ha
been established in tile yard h ■ the
industrial relations group of the i S
shipping hoard's emergent > Hem cor

i n iill 111* ini,. t . ill .1 I I\ • lillg
drive, you've gut to pr, pare for ii like
the Yanks arrange tor a drive against
the Huns. When General Pershing
g' ts it into his head that he wants
to give the Hun a good hard hump he
takes a few thousand Yank huskies ,
hack of the line and puts them through
a stiff course of sprouts in the way of
intensive training. When tin* hoys
, have completed the course they are
as hard as steel nails and they can ,
wade through anything.
I lined things up for my drive in
much the same way. When things
opened up I had the holes ail reamed
and tin* proper tools all in place. So
when tin* drive started we had a whirl
wind start, and tin* way we walked
away from the other gangs was good
to see. According to my way of figur
ing this thing called morale is blamed
important in an; game. 1 don't care
a rap whether it's soldiering or driv
ing rivets, you've got to have the hoys
mentally and physically up to snuff,
i aim to keep my huskies standing
right up on their toes most of the
time in tin* respect of keeping tin*
boys in a fighting mood. 1 am aided
by my loss riveter. Joe Diamond, who
has been in fin* game for more than
tw« nty years, and has worked in shifv
I yards all over the country How about
it. Joe?"
Wolf turned to a stoekily built man
in soiled overalls and jumper who
Mood nearby. Joe shifted bashfully
i rum one foot to another.
‘ I try to do my bit. boss,” he said,
"but all of us would go to 11 for you.
John, you know that ”
Wolf grinned pridefully.
“You set* the spirit of my huskies,
don’t you?" he u*ked. "Why. when
the drive was the hottest even our
superintendent. Walter Hlandford. got
the fever. He chucked off his coat,
grabbed a riveting hammer and drove
350 rivets. .My huskies have the spunk
and the ginger and that counts.”
The record for the entire yard on
! that (iay was 105,242 rivets in eight
| hours, or thirty-eight rivets per hour
per production gang. Wolf’s gangs
drove or an average of fifty
live rivets per hour per gang.
Wolf js aS years old, a season***!

familiar with every turn and wrinkle

PREPARE NOW
FOR GARDENS
SAX UKAXUISUO. Oct. :n. Immed
iate preparation of ground to be used
as home gardens next year, to eon
serve winter moisture is advocated
in a bull- tin issued from the western
states headquarters for the United
States school garden army hen* to
day. "It will take some time to teach
Wilhelm what it means to obey, and
meanwhile the problem of food for a
world's people will continue to be a
serious one," says the bulletin
"The food situation is far more un
stable than the average individual
knows The* apparent abundance of
today may be followed with serious
shortage tomorrow. The food admin
istration's worries would be less if
people at home would partly sustain
themselves bv food production gar
dens, poultry, rabbits
"There is one way to help stabilize
the food question open to everyone
make every back yard a food factory
Let us solve our own water problem.
Let us not depend on the truck man
for vegetables. Let us top our own
back yards. You. consumer, what do
you produce?"
