m DM eff ths Amwlcsi) cowl would In
Wito ths stss nf TIplted States merchant
imam an4 wmIi an additional boom In the
lp4ulMn 4ttTY pf Philadelphia. This
the opinion 6( rnanV of the offlclal of
Sfct eonatnlctlon companies alone the Irla
ware Hlver, several ot which hayo head
quarters In this pity.
The sensational exhibitions of destruction
kr'the tiny un4rS warriors, they explain,
will 'ore owmrs of ships made In this
eowttry to seek refuge under the treaty ot
Uti, between this country and Oorninny,
ylati r rot rets our veuda from attack on
Jtwhlffh peas durlm the present war,
TUty unanimously declare that all the im-
rwnt eonetruction yards or the beina-erent
Hsfis are" busy repairing; battleships and
Net warcrnft and cannot devote Attention
rebuilding; their merchant marine.
ACTIVITY AT BHU'VAHDS
The effect of continued raids by the sub
sjwrtnes would bring a large portion of the
stew boat building; work to Philadelphia
and vicinity, Inasmuch as the Delaware
Hlyer If known ns the "Clyde of America''
W the largeir seat of the Industry In this
country, They also believe that It would
tend to Incroaso the development and m
fwrtanoe of the port of Pli ladnlphla,
,1. Howard Pew, president of the Hun
Shipbuilding; Company, a pew concern with
headquarters In this city and a large yard
flow n the course ot construction at
Chester, when asked t (ell of the probable
Insult of the submarine attacks, said!
"The sinking of a large number of steam
hips by submarine w II naturally stim
ulate a demand for additional American
tonnage (shlm). Not only on account of
the shortage of tonnage resulting, but be
s,ue of the Increased demand for Amor
lean ships, due to the fact that the sub
sparine will never sink American boats."
LARUR MEnCHANT MAHIN13
Mr. Pew wa firm In his bt ef that the
United States would have a large merchant
fnarlno by the end of the Kuropean war
and that the great dlflktulty previously en
countered by American shipbuilders, the
et of production, namely labor nnd mate
rial, was overcome for the present time by
the tie-up In the Industry abroad. Ho as
sorted: "I believe by the end of the present con
flict we shall have such a good start that
it wilt be hard for the foreign nations to
eatch up with us or destroy our trade."
Ho explained further that the greatest
number of vessels new under construction
are being built for American owners. Ho
lso said that It was natural to assume
that a large portion of any new boom
, Would be felt In the yards that are stretched
' . along the banks of tlio Delaware. At tho
'. present time the Bun company Is prepar
ing u lay keels for ftvp now American
merchantmen.
From Charles T. Taylor, aecretary of the
William Cramp Sons Ship and Englno
Building Coirpany, tho following opinion
Was given regarding tho probable effect of
submarine i olds I
"The moi ships destroyod, the more ships
that w41 hate to bo built. As, the majority
of the foreign yards aro busy repairing the
fighting ships, It Is logical to assume that
the work must be done In this country."
Mr. Taylor called attention to the fact
that A wholesale, destruction of foreign trade
boats would necessarily mean that they
would be replaced by ships for American
registry, "Tho majority of ships' now being
built In this country are for American regis
try," he said, "Eleven of the fifteen con.
-eta held by our company are for such
Ms."
J. Taylor also- said that It would be
perns time after the war before the Euro
Bean yards would be able again to enter the
i trade field. He expressed dpubt as to
I Whether or not the old Question of labor and
H means of construction clus the navigation
ff. r laws of. this country at that tlmo would
fe -v -V jrlng about formy conditions.
KFFECT OF U-BOAT RAIDS
From several other officers of the ship
building companies It was learned that
tarty per cent of the vessels now under
construction are being built by firms along
tho Delaware River. They usretd that If
the submarines formed a base on this aids.
or tna Atlantic, and began a consistent
warfare on tho commerce of their enemies,
they would be busy for years to come. New
shipyards would be added and employment
furnished for thousands ot men.
Another prominent member of a ship,
building company brought out a new phase
of tho submarine situation, relative to a
greater American merchant fleet. He said
that further U-boat attacks along- our coast
would Impress the peopls of the country
With tho Importance ot a still larger navy
program. The ultimata development of such
program would afford the proper protec
Won for our marine trade Interpsta nnd In
mss the de-re toward Investment In
shifts and business.
,He also believed that during tho next two
. years our morchant fleet would be well to
' the front and that the conclusion of the war
VOUld mark the birth of a great commer.
e)al conflict for the, supremacy of marine
trade.

Students Unite to Rcduco High Cost
of Living
A co-operative scheme, new to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, will be tried to
reduce tho high cost of living. It Is a stu
dent co-operntlvo boarding house lust es
tablished by fourteen students of the Uni
versity at JS2I Walnut street. The mem
born aro mostly freshmen from Wllllams
port. They expect to live on the best of foods
at a cost ot no moro than $0 a week for
ench member. They have purchased staplo
supplies and coal In quantities to last
through the school year, and will purchaso
fresh meats and perishable foods through a
board of managers, Laundry will be sent
home by each student, and other small mat
ters of economy will be practiced.
Ths tBllest memorial shaft In Phlladil
phla nnd one of the costliest private monu
ments over planned Is rapidly ncarlng com
pletion In Woodlands Cemetery and Is
arousing the curiosity of countless passers
by as It stands sheathed In Its wooden
scaffolding among the trees n short dis
tance from Woodlnnd nvemie near Fortieth
street.
It Is the ninety-foot granlto monument
over the mausoleum that will hold tho re
mains of Dr, Thomas W. hvans, the famous
"Mttlo Dentist," who provided for the
Thomas W. Evans Dentnl Museum and In
stitute at Fortieth and Spruce streets, the
largest of Its kind In this country. Doctor
Evnns amassed a fortuno ot almost S 4,000,
000 and won fame as court dentist to the
Emperor N'upolcon III of Franco nnd many
of tho crowned heads of Eur-pe.
Although Doctor Evans died nlmost
twenty years ago and provided In his will
that $100,000 be used for the erection ot a
suitable monument for himself and the
members of his family, the work was not
planned until several years ago on account
of litigations oyer his bequests.
The monument has been erected under
tho direction of the Thomas W. Evans
Museum and Institute Society. Tho de
sign was drawn by Harris & Richards,
architects of this city, and Is In tho cmplro
stylo of tho French renaissance.
The p'aln granlto shaft Is fourteen feet
square at the base and tapers to a square
of flvo feet six Inches near the top, which
culminates In a pyramidal point moro than
ninety feet above the ground level.
The platform at the base Is fifty feet
square and is bounded by a carved balus
trade with an entranco opening facing the
west. Tho mausoleum vault, which pro
vides space for six burial cases, Is under
the platform level and on the Woodland
avenue nldo of the shaft. After the placing
of the bodies It will be sealed and sur
mounted by an ornamental stone sarcoph
agus. The only Inscription on tho memorial
Is n metal plate near the baso of the shaft
bearing the name "Evnns."
The bod of Doctor Evans nnd those of
the members ot his family to bo placed In
the mausoleum vault are now burled In
another lot In Woodlands Cemetery. The
transfer ceremonies will probably take place
during the coming winter.
The most modern and the moet scien
tifically perfect systems of ventilation and
Illumination will be used In Philadelphia
subways If the provision contained In the
transit ordinance Introduced, by Mayor
Smith In Councils on Thursday nnd ap
proved are Incorporated In the lease be.
tween the municipality and the operating
company.
The engineers who made the draft of the
lease decided that this city must have only
the best and the terms of the ordinance
determine In advance even the smallest de
tails of both lighting and ventilation. In
the lighting particularly the ordinance
fixes even the number and the arrangement
of the lights In the stations, the exits, ap
proaches ond other Important points.
The motion of trains In subways Is
usually suniclcnt to accomplish ventila
tion, provided sufficient air ducts leading
to the outside air are provided. Hut In
the city's new subways this natural sys
tem of ventilation Is to be supplemented
by motor-driven exhaust fans and motor
driven blowers.
ORDINANCR PROVISIONS

fans, one section of the ordinance reads I

capacity as may be necessary to renew
tho tunnel air once In every fifteen mln
ut( Independently of the action of the

The blowers shall each be provided
with motors of adequate power to opor
iite them at all times to their full ca
pacity, and these motors shall be so
arranged that groups of blowers can

In nil Inclosed rooms In the underground
structure motor-driven exhaust fans ore
to be provided In addition to the blowers,
which when operating together shall be ot
such capacity as ta renew the air e
pletely in tha varlotw rooms tverr
