CONTRACTS LET FOR
FOUR DREADNOUGHTS
AND 20 DESTROYERS
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20—The
naval program authorized by con
gress last summer Is to be carried
out with no delay according to the
announcement of Secretary Daniels.
"he General Hoard of the navy of
which Admiral Dewey is president
has approved the plans for ships of
the dreadnaught and destroyer typns
and contracts have been let for four
of the battleships of the first liar,
and for twen.y of the most advanced
types of destroyers.
The Newport News shipbuilding
company will build two dreiJ
naughts and the New York shipbuild
ing company has the contract for the
construction of the other two.
The contracts for constructing *he
-a destroyers have been alloted as
follows: Bath Iren Works. Maine,
four; Fore River shipbuilding com
pany at Quincy Mass., eight; Crump
Brothers at Philadelphia two; and
the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco six. Owing to the unpreceden
ted activity In all ship yards because
of British and Norwegian orders for
merchant ships the great American
builders were not keen to obtain con
tracts for our war vessels.
As soon as the plans for cruisers,
fleet rubmarines, coast submarines,
and other ships authorized by con
gross have been approved by the Gen
eral Board, bids will be called for and
their construction rushed as fast as
the cong 3ted condition or the yards
will allow.
The attitude of the American firms
is that they want to build the war
ships because they are large con
tracts of a permenance they do not
expect from the foreign merchant ship
business. But they desire to continue
the foreign business so long us it
lasts when they will fall back on
home naval contracts to keep their
.'arils go ng. As opposed to this, Sec
retary Daniels says that warship3
must be completed within the speci
fied time or the penalties will be im
posed without fail and he now gives
due warning to the companies.

Seldom in the history of Alaska
has a pork chop stood between part
ners nor did the one which is the
hero of this story stay long between
friend3 and that was the cause of
the trouble. A. C. Laird bought'
and cooked four pork chops of which
he ate three at the first sitting. On I
his return hame many hours la*or
ho found thut his extra pork chop
was g„ne. Signs indicated that his
house partner, Harry elles, who
i who asleep with a pleased smile
! on his churlbio countoranco was the;
| culprit so he woke him up and
charged him directly with eating hU '
pork chop». Harry- confessed with
pleasure to the consumption of th<
chop, but denied any guilt In the
matter. He maintained that a chop ^
In a house half Interested by him
and with no label on It became his
by right of possession. For all he
knew a kind neighbor might have '
sent it In for his supper. Any way
ho had eaten it and felt no pain as ,
yet. Laird uiged that ho should be
Hb’.-teitHl of despoiling an absent
partner of his pork chop and offered
to leave his contention to any fair
minded referee. With thl3 end in
view Welles dressed and the pair
wended their way to Frank Shaw's ;
quarters where they routed him out |
of bed. After hearing both sides he '
refused to arbitrate but consented
to help find a soluterf of the prob
lem. As no taxis were running and
they were In a hurry they secured J
a team of four lnqiusitive bright
minded dogs to lend them to a (
referee. The dogs took them into
all the steam-pipe excavations to bo ]
found and didn’t bring arbitration
any nearer so they began to hoof it.
They bet a hat as to the outcome of
.he pork chop episode and wore
them while they assisted in unload -
ng a dray in the hope that the driv
er would in turn lend them a hand
as arbitrator but when the work was
lone the driver beat it for the quiet
,>f a machine shop. People on the
street heard the oft-repeated words
'my pork chop” and wondered what
it was all about. And probably by
his time all parties concerned are
vonderlng the same wonder also.
