London.—That Britisn shipyards and allied industries have double the business they did a year ago is a statement made in the Daily Telegraph of London based on the latest quarterly bulletin of Lloyd’s Register; that every admiralty navy yard and all auxiliary en gineering and steel works ere re turning to full time with the prospect of additional output and added con struction in non-admiralty yards, is the conclusion drawn by Hector C. Bywater, the paper's naval corre spondent, who lays special em phasis on the creation of the new post of director-general of muni tions. The $30,000,000 scheduled to be spent by the Cunard • White Star line in the construction of eight liners of from 14.000 to 30.000 tons has enabled contracts to be placed at Clydeside, Northeast cobs , Bar row.

Dur ing the last three months there were launched 167,958 tons, a de crease of 26,317 tons, so that the new work exceeds the shipping launched by 114,364 tons. In comment Mr. Bywater writes of the naval program: “iyx months from now every shipyard in the country which is qualified to undertake naval work will have warships on the stocks, ranging from 33,000-ton battleships to submarines and sloops. “At the same time, every impor tant engineering establishment and many smaller concerns will be hard at work making propelling engines, boilers, and auxiliary machinery for dozens of new fighting ships. “Gun and armor plate factories, hitherto barely subsisting on small orders — if not closed down alto gether — are assured of a big vol ume of work Plant which has lain Idle for years will be restarted. “Sheffield's contribute, will be moat of the guns and armor plata for the new ships, including the THE FOLLY OF FATIGUE^ By LEONARD A.

Why does the world seem “stale, flat, and unprofitable” or “sicklied o’er with the pale cast” of fear? Is it not because we are physically and mentally fa tigued? The old saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is true in our every day experience. The spirit that is fa tigued finds a waning interest in common tasks. The more serious responsibilities fail to challenge our courage or creative impulses. When we are fatigued it is easy to lose confidence in our friends and in life itself.

"right to hold who can.” We con done gambling by calling it the spirit of adventure. We argue for the creed: “Every man for him self and the devil take the hind most” as man’s inalienable right to happiness by force of selfishness. Thus, physical and mental fatigue plays havoc with our psychic cen ters. It “doUi make cowards of us all.” Let us remember that every bat tle in the emotional as well as the material realm is first won within one's own mind and heart. This must be so. Just as the power of an argument is the product of one’s own personal conviction, so the suc*- cess of mastery of an intricate problem is the direct result of one’s inner state of mind and heart. Just as we cannot convince another of that which we know is false, so we cannot fool ourselves by thinking we can build our outer world with norms and ideals different from those which we harbor within. “There is something irresistibly convincing about the man who is increasingly becoming everything that Me is urging others to be.” Man, the automaton, soon discov ers that all his efforts are like “poems without words, music with out notes and landscape without color.” The most effective cure for fa tigue Is not drugs which are perni cious. but rest created by change of environment and the impact of new and aptifting impulses.

Then is the time when its worth is es pecially signifi cant, although in times of pleasure, vigor is impera tive for full enjoy ment.

A new use for Bat candlesticks has been discovered Instead of the regulation purpose to which theta candlesticks were used, and still are in homes minus electricity selves. Perhaps this quest for something with which we may re build character, re-create capital in the store house of human capacity, and reduce fatigue gave meaning to the magic word: vacation, the modern exodus of peoples of the world. q Written Nrwnpaprr Union. or gas, a thoroughly modern use has been discovered. So, if you have any of this style of candle stick, now is the time to bring them out to use for match box ash trays. Or if you have none of these sticks, you can follow the fashion by purchasing one or two, as they are now fitted with matches formed into conical peaks, and are on sale. They are a gift shop specialty. The term flat candlestick is de scriptive only to a degree, for of course the candlestick is not actually fiat. It is so by compari son with tall candlesticks. Another name for flat candlesticks is bed room candlesticks. Once upon a time in the far distant days, can dles and wicks served as illuminat ing agents and candlesticks and lamps were the lighting fixtures in homes and other buildings. For candles, tall and flat candlesticks were chief fixtures. Flat candlesticks were generally used to take to bedrooms, being distributed downstairs, so that the light from the candles would il lumine the way through the dark halls. Because of this use the name bedroom candlesticks was sometimes given them, although they were flat candlesticks. The holder for the candle is fixed in the center of a dish at one side of which IB "h little handle. Ash Trays and Matches. It Is these candlesticks that are among the decorative ash trays for modern homes The candle holder la filled with matches, gay-tipped ones, sometimes arranged In circles of contrasting colors, some times In one color.

Our ears receive but 7 par cent; our sense of smell, S.5 par cent; touch,lJ per cent; taste, 1 per cent. These five senses form our sole contact with the world and the people in R. All that we know comes to us through our senses. Though the eyes represent our most priceless physical asset, most of us subject our eyes to needless abuse. That this If so, is seen in the fact that 22 per cent of all children in the country have defective sight At college a je, 42 per cent have impaired vision. At age forty, the figure jumps to 60 per cent. And after the sixtieth birthday, only 5 per cent have unimpaired eyesight. These statistics are the more ap palling when we consider that our own carelessness is largely re sponsible for these deficiencies. Yet it may not be so much of care lessness as a lack of understand ing as to what causes eyestrain. Of all the abuses to which we subject our eyes, poor lighting is said to be one of the greatest. Oddly enough, this is also the easiest cause to prevent. It is significant perhaps that de fective eyesight is common among farm families. This is thought to be due to the fact that there are still several million farm homes to whom the dvan- tages of electric lighting are not available. Yet if this is so, R again reflects a lack of under standing of the need for good light, for there are available today, types of portable lamps that pro vide daylight brilliance for every night-time task. Perhaps the moat popular of these are the gasoline and kero sene pressure mantle lamps. For reading, sewing, and all the after-dark pursuits which require prolonged and close use of the eyas, abundant light is imperative to those who would protect that greatest of God-given gifts, the eyas. And this la more especially important where there are chil dren in the family.
