THE KISS DEFINED.
A kiss is a peculiar proposition;
•of no use to one, yet absolute bliss
to two. The small boy gets it for
nothing, the young man has to steal
it, and the old man has to buy it.
It is the baby's right, the lover’s
privilege, the hypocrite’s mask. To
a young girl it represents faith, to
married woman hope, and to an old
maid charity. It is the beacon oi
love and the symbol of death: it
causes trouble when given to the
hired girl and heaven when delivered
to one’s wife. It is the first thing
one receives when coming into the
world and the last hing when going
out. It is the symbol of innocence
and the hallmark of vice; it has
caused wars, bloodshed and divorce.
The kiss betrayed Christ and mur
dered Anthony. It represents the
combined sweets of the world when
taken from the pouting lips of the
maiden, and the acidity of time
when deposited by the mother-n-law.
It is undefinable and within the
reach of rich or poor. Invented
by the gods as a substitute for
nectar and ambrosia it has come
down the paths of time a theme for
poets and a revenue for attorneys.
The kiss is a panacea for quarrels
and an antidote for heartaches. It
is a symbol of love and the em
blem of deceit.

COKE INCREASE 10
HELP OUT COAL
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—
Seventy-three per cent more coke
than ever before will be available
this year to help to solve the fuel
shortage. This supply will be fur
ther increased by the development
of tar, coke oven gas and other by
products newly dignified in war time
as available fuels. There were some
new facts presented to the American
Institute of Mining Engineers in
session here recently in their efforts
to fill some of the country's needs.
The pulverizing of coal to attain
the greatest efficiency was advo
cated before the mining engineers.
Some of the advantages of pulver
ized coal were stated as follows:
The utilization of every heat unit
in the coal, the reduction of labor
for handling coal, the maintenance
of a constant temperature in the
furnace.
The mining engineers were also
told that coal mining in the state
of Washington had proven less pro
fitable in recent years because of
the extensive use of fuel oil. It
was predicted that higher prices for
fuel oil would increase the mining
of coal on this part of the western
coast
The institute planned to hold a
memorial service for the late Dr.
James Douglas, mining engineer and
the former president of the institute.

"WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED SY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON. — Shipbuilding:
the many-sided task which much
of America's mechanical genius is
today engaged as a part of the war
program, requires mechanics skilled
in more than thirty trades besides
an army of unskilled workers.
With a gigantic building program
ahead, a vast force is employed
along in this phase of war work.
Today 300,00 men are at work in
the shipyards, with 250,000 engaged
in trades that provide material for
the shipbuilders.
Here are the skilled workers who
are doing the work on the steel ship:
Shipfitters, blacksmiths, rivetters,
chippers and calkers, drillers, plumb
ers, pipe-fitters, machinists, joiners
carpenters, pattern makers, found
rymen, coppersmiths, heavy forgers,
steel metal workers, furnace men.
shearers, punchers, anglesmiths, ship
wrights, riggers, flangers, drop forg
ers, erectors, bolters-up, crane oper
ators .locomotive engineers, firemen,
loftsmen, painters and helpers in all
these trades.
Sixty per cent of the work on
a ship is in constructing the hull,
and the remaining forty per cent
is installing mechanical parts, deck
furnishings and other equipment that
goes to make the finished vessel.
Obviously, it is almost impossible
to single out one craft that is the
most important. All contribute in
making the finished product and
without any one no complete ship
could result. Loftsmen, however,
play a great part.
Ship plans are first made in a
drafting room on a small scale. Go
ing to the mould loft—a large build
ing with a smooth floor of sufficient
size to have drawn upon it the plans
of the ship to full size—the lofts
men fashion the templates or moulds
of light wood or paper from which
the steel for the hull can be laid
off and marked for shearing, punch
ing. planning and other operations.
The moulds are made from three
plans that give shape to the ship.
These plans, showing the lines of a
vessel are the sheer plan or side
elevation, the half breath plan and
the body plan or end elevation. The
body plan is most used in making
the moulds, for it shows better the
shape of each frame, beam and floor
plate. The moulds must be ab
solutely correct so that they will join
together properly.
'The shipfitter is probably the one
metal worker whose trade may be
termed purely a shipbuilding trade.
He marks off the steel material for
the parts of the vessel’s hull, by fit
ting the loftsman’s mould over the
steel. Drillers also play a big part
in the drilling and reaming of holes.
They are necessary because the rivet
holes being punched in shop do not
always coincide despite careful work
manship. In some cases also holes
must be drilled on the ship. The
unevenness between holes is removed
by reaming, which is merely a slight
enlargement.

tacular work; the rat-a-tat-tat of
their puenmatic tools having a fas
cination reminiscent of the anvil
of the village blacksmith. Rivetting
holds the ship together, and a ship’s
plans specify every rivet, for each
has a certain function. Chippers
and calkers trim off or smooth the
edges of plates, castings and othe.
parts and make them water tignt.
Shipwrights instal the wooden decks,
masts spars and booms. Other ship
woodwork is done by joiners.
Ventilation, piping and light metal
work is done largely in shop by sheet
metal workers. Plumbing and pip
ing also is done in shop by plumb
ers, machinists and pipefitters.
Ship work on the hull proper is
done by workmen operating shears,
punches, bending rolls, planers and
other machines and the frame bend
ers, acetylene burners, furnace men
and angle-smiths perform the pre
paratory work to the erection of
plates, brackets, clips, beams, bulk
heads and parts required for the hull
of a ship.
(US DEFENSE
BAFFLED BOMS
NEW YORK.—Why Rheims has
not been attacked in force by the
Germans is explained by General
' °n Ardenne. military critic, in the
Berlin Tageblatt.
The city of Rheims has a very
strong garrison, wrote the general;
“at least two divisions of colored
Colonial troops. These find full
protection from the German artillery
fire in the deep-lying cellars, miles
in length, which the big champagne
firms have dug into the chalky soil.
These cellars can also be kept closed
to the gas fumes which spread out
over the ruins of the city.
The garrison is therefore girded
and protected by an impenetrable
armor. In the event of a German
storming attack, which in itself
would be serious in view of the per
manent gas clouds over Rheims, thd
French Colonial troops would be
able to assume the defense of the
city unweakened."
NEW POINT RAISED
REGARDING CENSOR
SAX JUAN, Porto Rico—The con
tention that it is illegal to use the
evidence obtained by a censor to
convict the writer of a letter of a
crime was raised in the federal court
here the other day. Evidence against
Gabriel Guerra, a lawyer was ob
tained in that manner and he was
convicted of using the mails to pur
chase tickets in a lottery. Guerra’s
counsel contended that the censor's
office is a war measure only and
could not be used to obtain evidence
of ordinary crimes. Apparently the
jury disregarded the legal point in
rendering its verdict.
Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Hubbard and
daughter Miss Della left Valdez
last month for the States to make
their home in the future. Mr. and
Mrs. Hubbard are pioneers of
Alaska and have made their home
in Valdez for many years. Mr.
Hubbard served as senator from
that district, and other public offices.
They have many friends who wish
them success in their new home.
