AVON-SINKABL[ SHIPS WIL DEFY U-BOATS TO SAIL WITHOUT A CONVOY Air-Tight Units in Hull Believed Suf ficent to Keep Ship Afloat Washington, Feb. 10.-The first non-sinkable seagoing ship, the Lucia? achievement of American genius, wihl load this week and leave for Europe. She will be without convoy at every stage of the voyage. She goes as an open challenge to the German subma rmnes to disprove that she is invul nerable.

It has been intended to make a test of the Lucia in drydock, but it wvas learned tonight that John A. Donald, vice president of the emergency fleet corporation andl shipping board com missioner, that the drydock test had been abandoned for drastic trial in the proving grounds of the danger zone. William F. Donelly, inventor of the non-sinkable construction of the Lu cia, a marine engineer of Newv York, will have complete charge of the load ing of the vessel. Although the Lucia is fitted with 12,000 of the water and airtight cells, permanently attached to the frames and (leek beams and other available spaces of the vessel, about 15 to 20 per~ cent of the cargo space must be packed with additional numbers of 'Grippe ?

Mr. Donnelly personally will supervise this final phase of the safety equipment. The first reports of the non-sink able ship, announced by William L., Saunders, vice chairman of the naval consulting board ,at a diinLr Satur day night to University of l'ennsyl vania alumni, gave all credit for de velopment of Mr. Donnelly's contriv ance to the naval consulting board. Commissioner Donald tonight, how ever, said the ship hnd been equipped with the cells under the direction of the shipping board. The board's division of shi pprotec tion, he said, had recommended to the board ,a:. July the tes; of Mr. Don nelly's invention, offered to the beard at that time. The Lucia, a 9,00-ton vessel, for merly belonged to Austria, was requi sitioned for the purpose, and experi ments wre bgun. Only reently, after about four months of tests and new designing. the equipment was corn pleted. Although no actual test of the Lucia's safety from torpedoes has been made, the mathemacical calcula tions fron small scale experiments, says Mr. Donald, are considered suf ficient proof that even wi. i a nole feity feet Icng blown in her side, she would remain safely afloat, supported by the honeycomb of cells. Each cell is a unit, independent of any other for its supporting quality and the great number of them, in ad dition to the ordinary safety device of watertight doors and other watrtight compartments on every seagoing ves sel, gives so great a degree of buoyan cy that two or three tol-pedoes would not be likely to work havoc enough to sink such a ship. A vessel so mashed and torn by tor trpedoes, with gaping holes below the waterline, could remain on the surface indefinitely, simply water-logged with no danger to her crew. Unless unus ually rent open, she could proceed to a port, however slowly. In-any event, neither lives or cargo would be likely to be lost, for succoring vessels either could tow her to port or salvage at the spot the undamaged part of the cargo. The final proof of the Lucia's float.. ing ability in distress was to have been made by attempting to sink her by flooding her in drydock. This, however, was deemed, in the face of the expert opinion on the effectiveness of th equipment, a waste of time. In the judgment of her inventor andt the shipping board's experts the prin ciple is so certain that no further de lay is to be allowed in rushing the Lucia, unprotected by any warships, into the most infested submarine waters. -0 GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER has been used for all ailments that are caused by a disordered stomach and inactive liver, such as sick head ache, constipation, sour stomach, nervous indigestion, fermentation of food, palpitation of the heart caused by gases in the stomach.

Much dissatisfaction has been caused among far-mers, who felt that it was unreas onable to ask them to buy Northern and Western meal wvhen they had their own home ground meal which they could use. There was no pro test concerning redluction of the con sump~tion of flour, but sim ply that. the farmer did not wvish to buy meal from his store when he had better meail or grits at home. U~ndler the new rule the farmer can have his corn ground by a ille1r, who will give him a certificate. This cer' tificate must be filed with the gr'oceri by the -farmer, whe'reupon hie canf hiuy an eqiual amount of flour, nt ini ex cess of half a barrel. TPhis plan11 was recommned by praictically th!e unman imouis ovte of the c'ounty food adlministrators at their meeting in Columbia on the 4th in stant, and has been advocated by a large number of prom inenit people having kmiowledlge of conditions in South Carolina.

For the information of county food administrators and food representatives over this State,millers and farmers, he following is a de scription of the procedure necessary for farmers to obtain flour upon a miller's certificate: The farmer takes his corn to the mill and has it ground. He signs a certificate which the millers will have, stating number in his family or ten ants for which he buys, the amount of flour he has o.1 hand; anu a;reeirg to use in his household equal weights of flour and substitutes. Thereupon the miller signs a certificate as to the number of pounds of meal ground. This certificate is then filed with the grocer, and thereupon the farmer can buy an equal weigit of flour, but in no case in excess of one-half barrel. This relieves the only difficulty that has been encountered in South Caro There has been no objection what soever to the reduction in consump tion of flour, and the farmer has been patriotically ready to reduce his con.. sumption of flour, but he very nat urally did not desire to buy more of what he already had an abundance in his home. Blanks are being mailed to the county food administrators for dis tribution to millers. They were mailed yesterday afternoon. Millers should apply to the county food administra tor of his county for the blanks. iE) CROSS AIDS OFFICERS Will Purchase Uniforms to Replace Losses on Tuscania New York, Feb. 19.--The A merican officers who were rescued when the Tuscania was sunk and who lost their personal equipment and clothing wil! receive aid from the A merican Red Cross.
