rt FORTY-ONE SHIPS
I CONTRACTED FOR
' Two Houston Companies to
$ Build Vessels in Great En-
g i larged Waterway.
ffi HOUSTON, Tex., Oct 18. Forty
3K ' one vessels, including ten barges, have.
ffl ; :cen contracted for with the Emcr
m& , -pner Fleet corporation by two compa
g ie3 of Houston and alh are to be built
'R ' on a water way that only a few years
mm og0 would not accommodate in ocean
ic : coing vessel
jS Seven ships have already been
ffi. launched, four by the Universal Ship-
m ' building company and three by the
13 Midland linage company; eignt more
; are under construction at the yards of
each of the two concerns, and the Uni
versal holds contracts for eight moro
gh'lpSf while the Midland company has
contracted for ten barges.
Within one year after-the program
of the Emergency Fleet corporation
went into effect, Houston, located in
a section where former efforts along
this lino were confined to a few small
pleasure craft and an occasional barge,
began launching ships.
It was in April of this year that the
first vessel built of southern yellow
pine under government contract slip
ped down the ways to the Houston
ship channel. It was christened Na
cogdoches. Since that time the splen
did progress made has been the sub
ject of favorable comment by officials
of the fleet corporation.
Ships launched at the Houston yards
are (owed to Beaumont to receive their
machinery after the finishing touches
are given (ho hulls here. A central
nssembling yard is located it that
point and, under the direction of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, stores
of all Rinds of material are assembled
there (o be distributed to the yards.
' In place of moving machinery to the
boats, the boats are moved to the ma-
III cblnery.
I The infantry industry of shipbuild-
Ij ing in Houston demanded the services
I of some 3000 men within a few weeks
after ground was broken, and the pav-
F roll now amounts to more, than half
I a million dollars each month. Special
iiciiuo wn.i me ui ui.v ul worners to
the shipyards, which are situated on
the channel a few miles below the
turning basis. The shipbuilders live
in Houston, which is credited with be
ing one of the few cities where, with
war work, extensive housing facilities j
have not caused alajrm. Comfortable
quarters have been provided for all.
The Universal Shipbuilding com
pany, a local corporation, was organ
ized subsequent to the Fleet corpora
tion. The Midland Bridge company,
a Missouri corporation with headquar
ters at Kansas City was, prior to the
present shipbuilding activities, en
gaged in bridge construction and the
distribution of structural steel. Anoth
er company is now being organized to
establish a concrete plant here.
; The International Marine Iron
Works is another unit in the shipbuild
ing program at Houston. This com
pany manufacturers mnrine engines,
boilers, propellers and other appli
ances used in ships, and is equipped to
produce heavy castings. It has con
tracts for propellers for most of the
ships constructed in the district.
Houston, as a lumber center, has
shared liberally in the prosperity
which has resulted in that industry
from the use of southern yellow pine
in shipbuilding. Approximately 20 pert
cent of the total production of south
ern saw mills is handled through
Houston.

To look one's best and feel one's
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous dy's waste, sour fermenta
tions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when It burns, leaves behind a certain
amount of incombustible material in
tho form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which " if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
i "which are than sucked into tho blood
j through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
1 to sustain the body.
It you want to see the glow of
j healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
; jeaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
t, which is a harmless means of wash

BIG QUESTION
OF ARMYBUREAU
Where Will Germans Make
Their Next Next Great
Stand in Fight.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN FRANCE, OcL 15. Where the Ger
man army will endeavor to make its
next stand onco tho whole Ilindenburg
lino is definitely abandoned is now a
big question in the minds of the intelli
gence officers of the American army.
Information has reached them showing
that the Hindenburg line is but one
element of a multiple system of de-
fenSn Vrtkc wMnVl Uir flnrmonc Vii
constructed across northern France.
The cities of Lille and Metz constitute
tho pillars of these great lines of re
sistance. The two cities are enormous
entrenched camps and are the extrem
ities of a scries of curved lines one in
sido the other.
Tho first of these lines was the
Hindenburg system now crumbling be
fore the allied attacks. Back of this
is a second Gorman line of resistance
which is called here the Hunding line.
Possibly the Germans may endeavor
to stem tho tide of defeat by standing
unn that line. It starts from south
of Lille, extends from the western
outskirts of Douai, passes cast of Le
Catelet to Fresnoy, skjrfs the left bank
of tho Oise and (he right bank of the
Serre, bends back toward Sissone,
follows the northern bank of the
Aisne to southesat of Vouziers. Thence
it extends southeast along the base
of the sinous Saint Mihiel salient
Behind tho Hunding line Is a third
system known as the Metz-Lille line.
It starts at the Scarpe river about
eight miles east of Douai, crosses the
Escaut river, passes through Le Ca
teau and west of Avesncs and Hirsen,
covers Meziares-CharlovUle and Sedan,
follows the right bank of the Mouse,
flfifpnfls 'Rrlnv :irwl Pnn fin ns.-Trirnv nnrl
virtually rejoins the Hindenburg line
at Pugny-sur-MosslIc.
Finally, (he eleruents of a fourth
lino of retreat exists, running from
Valenciennes to Givct, on which the
Germans also were reported recently
as being hard at work.
These principal lines arc, naturally,
joined up by auxiliary lines, or
"braces." There is or was one on the
left bank of the Escaut between Cam
brai and Valenciennes, another be
tween Hirson and Vervins, and others
between (he second nnd third lines
along the Serre, between the first and
second lines (o the south and still
others possibly now in the course of
construction.

Service) General Allenby's great vic

record the answer of India to the call
to arms Issued by tho British empire.
Indian troops have borne Iheir share
of the war in France, Mesopotamia,

"Tho peoples of La tin -Am erica, aro

that from Patagonia to Mexico all aro

BARON BURfAN
EXPECTS PEACE
: Finds Nothing in Wilson Note
to Bar Hope of Realization
x of Peace.
BASEL, Switzerland, OcL 17. Bar
on Burlan, the Austro -Hungarian for
eign minister, spoke in the most opto
mistic manner of the prospects for an
early peace in addressing the foreign
affairs committee of the Austrian del
egation at its meeting on Wednesday,
says .a Vienna dispatch.
"I nourish the hope today most ful
ly," said the foreign minister in this
connection, "for if the contents of
President Wilson's reply are studied
there is nothing to be found to frus
trate such a hope or even to delay its
realization considerably."
"The political point in President
Wilson's reply is settled," Baron Bur
lan said, "as Germany's reply will un
doubtedly establish, by the niodiflca.
tions which arc being made in the con
stitution." "In the armistice negotiations," he
continued, "both sides should speak.
That grows out of the very Idea of
negotiations. Hence Germany's pro
posal of a commission"
"We can be fully convinced that
Germany will be in a position to accept
the president's demands regarding the
humanization of the war. I do not be
lieve that in his demands generally he
goes beyond what Germany intends,
especially as regards the moment that
war may be considered to be termi
nated. "1 believe that, in her exchange of
views with President Wilson, Germany
will give the explanations necessary
to avoid the superluous hardships of
war. It is clearly understood that Ger
many will insist that no conditions bel
imposed during the preliminary phase
of the negotiations which arc incom
patible with her dignity."

California Money
Crop Valued -'at
Over Two MOlions
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 17. Tho
1918 California honey crop, value at
about $2,400,000. has' reached its peak
and shipments from the leading pro
ducing sections o,f the state arc now in
full swing, according to announcement
by A. B. Massey, manager of the Cali
fornia Honey Producers' cooperative
exchange.
"Estimates on the production of
honey in California this year," said Mr.
Massey, "indicate there will be ap
proximately 2000 carload's, totaling
nearly 12,000,000 pounds. At an aver
age price of 20 cents a pound, the crop
will bring about $2,400,000.
"Of all the honey consumed in the
United States, California furnishes 90
per cent for domestic consumption,
though only 25 per cent of the coun
try's crop Is produced in California.
"In this state alone, there are ap
proximately 100 different grades and
varieties of honey produced. And there
are five distinct colors of honey in
each variety."
Four carloads of honey from south
ern California were shipped in one
week recently, according to Mr. Mas
sey, who estimated that the reason in
this section will close about November.

A large part of this year's crop, lion -1
ey producers say, is being shipped to
Europe because of the sugar shortage
among the entente allies.

Indian Collection
Interesting One at
Washington Mtiseinnj
SEATTLE, Wash.. October 171
Gambling sticks, rounded, smooth and
numbered in neat little figures, sha
man's ceremonial rattles, carved In
grotesque figures and painted guadlly
in red and yellow are among the Tlin
glt Indian collection in the University
of Washington museum. This exhibi
tion has been improved steadily since
its installation a few years ago and
now it is said to be unsurpassed.'
The collection shows the notable use
made by the Tlingits of totemic char
acters in decoration of their homes,
gravp posts and even of clothing and
tools. Instances arc mastodon ivory
clubs used for killing salmon after
the fish has been' caught on bone
hooks. The finely colored club heads
have been cared to represent the bear,
whale, shark and (beaver, all totemic
symbols.
It was the Tlingit, tho Kaida and
Tslnshlan tribes ipf Southern Alaska
who originated ,the use of animals
fqr designs in decoration, it is said,
and from Uxe use ,o animals has conio
the use of symbols, and finally the
adaptation of the animal figures to the
space to be filled. The style of the
Indian decorators in all instances
shows a nice sense of balaTice. The
lines are never regular, the curved
are "crowded" in a peculiarly forced
manner.
To the carven figures color usually
is lidded. Several totem poles in the
collection are gay in bright figures,
and the totemic designs applied to
blankets, hats, treasure boxes nnd cer
emonial robes are colored in brilliant
tones. The minerals used for the col
ors are ground up In small stone dish
es, mixed with water and salmon
spawn and applied with wooden pad
dles. Stiff brushes of porcupine quill
also are used.
Basket work of the Tlingit Indians
is remarkably firm and pliant. Few

Breathe Hyomcl for Two Minutes and
! Stuffed Up Head Will Get Relief.
! If you want to get relief from ca
1 tarrh, cold in the head or from an ir
ritating cough in tho shortest time
breathe Hyomcl.
It will clean out your head in two
minutes and allow you to breathe free
ly. Hyomei will end a cold in one day,
it will relieve you of disgusting snuf
fles, hawking, spitting and offensive
breath in a week.
Hyomei is made chiefly from a
soothing, healing, germ killing antisep
tic, that comes from the eucalyptus
forests of inland 'Australia where ca
tarrh, asthma and consumption were
never known to exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe. Just pour a few drops into
the hard rubber Inhaler, use as direct
ed and relief is almost certain.
A complete Hyomei-outfit, including
inhaler and one bottle of Hyomei,
costs but little at druggists every
where and at Culley Drug Co. If you
already own an inhaler you can get
an extra bottle of Hyomei at druggists.;
