Seek Workers in Richmond for Ship Building at Hog Island Yard. Thirty-five thousand men, it is estimated, will be required to turn out the 120 ships to bo built at the Hog Island Yard near Philadelphia by the American International Shipbuilding Corporation. To secure the enormoua number of workers required It will be necessary to take from many related trades, men whose experience, with a little .training, will enable-, them to become first class shipyard mechanics. The bolters, riveters, reamers, drillers and chlppers who form the larger number of workers required on steel ships, all ue pneumatic tools, the employment of which can be leaned in a very short time by a man who has already aqulred facility in manual trades. Two other classes of. workmen of which large numbers are needed are the erectors who set up the frames, and the stage builders. Bridge and structural Ironworkers and scaffold builders are admirably suited for the two latter classes of shipyard work. Has Training School. To adapt men to the particular requirements of work on steel boats, the Hog Island Tard has established a training school where skilled and unskilled men will be turned into shipbuilders In from a week to six weeks the length of time depending upon ing life at Hog Island agreeable, work for which they wish to fit themselves. Among other arrangements for making life at Ills Island agreeable, work has begun on a recreation building to be under Y. M. C. A. administration.

Candidates for shipyard work are urged to write to the American International Shipbuilding Corporation, stating their qualifications, in order that a roster may be made and men ailed upon as needed. The purpose is to avoid calling men to Philadelphia before they are actually needed, and before there Is provision, for proper housing and training. Only those men not now engaged In a war industry are being considered, but as to others this urgent call has been sent but:' "Even If you have never been in a shipyard, apply your experience now to the most needed and best paid work to be done to win the war." 700 ATTEND SALE ON LEEDS' FARM Nearly 700 farmers and business men attended the sale Friday on the Rudolph a.

Window Blind Left . Sees Stranger in Slays CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 12. A forgotten window blind, rolled up and revealing two figures entering a lighted bedroom, was the means of Elmer Hupp gaining knowledge that another man had invaded his home during his absence. ' Because the blind was not drawn, blotting out the scene within, the unexpected returning husband ran into his Lakewood home, sought out the hiding place of Charles L. Joyce and shot, him dead. That train of events, leading up to the city's newest murder involving an "eternal triangle," was explained this afternoon by Attorney William L. David, retained as counsel for Hupp, wealthy oil field developer, who is in the County Jail charged with first degree murder. It was the story that David said Hupp would tell eventually when on trial for his life. He will seek the defense of the "unwritten law." The scene disclosed to him in his wife's lighted bedroom and another view, David -says, Hupp obtained through the window of a side room of his wife, clothed this time in a kimona, will be presented as the reason for the oil man's fury in rushing into the house,' demanding that his wife tell Jiim who was there, and uncovering in the attic and shooting - him. Hupp, in the county jail, today said: "It was love for my wife that caused me to do it." "Sacrifices, no matter what the cost, to save my husband from paying the law's penalty for this murder," Mrs. Hupp said she will make, and a little later when she met-her husband in his cell for the first time since last night's tragedy, she threw herself into his Court Records Joseph B. Baker filed a complaint in the circuit court Saturday morning against John G. Sutton for ?24.70 and forecluosure of mechanics lien. GREENSFORK, IND.

HEART PROBLEMS Dear Mrs. Thompson: I want you to give me some advice on a question that has bothered me for a long time. I am the youngest in the family of five and both of my parents arc t .very strict religious ..'people who wjm: had a . hard time wxien mey were young and can't seem to realize that young people do things that were thought sacreligious when they were young. I have a boy friend who comes to our house about once in every week or ten days and takes me to a picture show. We sit and visit with the family a while and then about eight go to the show and get; back at ten or a little after, and we never stay up after we get home, Vut he says goodbye at the door and leaves. My parents think I do very wrong in going to picture shows, but my four brothers thi;ik it is all right and they all like this young man as well as I do. Do you think I ought to give him up, or should I keep on letting him cohij2?. Who is the judge in matters like this, the family of brothers or the parents? BETSY. I can see no barm in your going to the picture show with this young man provided you are not too young, and it may be that you take these objeo-j tions of your parents . too seriously. Your brothers should try to convince , your parents that it is ail right, and it you have one brother who is very much older, he should talk the matter I over with your mother and father when the three are alone. Of course the parents are the final judges in matters such as these, and your mother and father undoubtedly have your good at heart, but they are mistaken in considering moving picture shows sacriligious. and you are justified, in protesting their judgment. Try. to have them go with you. some night and see if they don't enjoy it themseJves, and then you may be able to gain their consent. Dear Mrs. Thompson : I ride home cn the same street car ever night and lately the conductor has been speak ing to me as I get off at my street. He seems like a perfect gentleman, and if it were not for the fact that I have always been taught to shun strangers I would gladly return his how-do-you-do and chat with him a little just before I get off. Do you think it would be wrong to speak to him. MRS. A. D. C. It is customary for women to shun all attempts by strangers to get familiar with them, but it all you wish to do is to say how-do-you-do, or some other innocent thing, it will be all right for you to do it in this particular case. It will not, however, be right for you to carry on a lengthy conversation with the conductor or to make any sort of statements which might lead him to believe that you wanted to make his acquaintance further. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twenty years old and my father and brother an.d I are living alone now; that my mother has just been taken from us by death. " We received a great show of sympathy from our friends and it seems to mo it would not be out of place to send these friend3 and distant relatives a card or. letter.-- Can you tell me how to word such a note?
