cor poration address them last thurs day night mr holbrook's address dealt particularly with the adminis trative system in the management of ship yards and was spiced throughout with interesting experi ences which he has met with in practice he first pointed out the strenuous times through which the ship-build ing industry is now passing and mentioned the importance of the ship subsidy bill now before con gress in determining the future of the industry it is now possible to buy corporation vessels from the shipping board for fifteen dollars a ton which cost over two hundred dollars to build the replacement cost of these vessels to-day would be about eighty-five dollars a ton this is the reason so few new car go ships are being built in the yards at the present time the new yards have developed the berthing system under which a ship is divi ded into zones and areas for work each gang and individual has cer tain work to do in construction the plates are erected by the erect or and adjusted by the regulator then the ship-fitter finishes the erect ing and lifting the riveting ream ing and caulking gangs are then put to work the berthing system reduces lost labor and the need is for better lead ers for the men who can plan out the work which after all seems to be what the average man wants at the federal ship-building plant the idea is to get the men to work eight hours a day for an eight-hour wage without killing them mr holbrook's lecture was one of the most interesting heard this year and it was extremely worthwhile to those who attended it after the lecture

last thursday evening in drown hall with dr walters su perintendent of st luke's hospital as speaker the society's prospective trip to st luke's hospital was discussed following which refreshments were served dr walters who is a nose throat and ear specialist gave the society some good points on how to become a specialist and also some good ad vice on establishing a profession the main things
