To build a 10,000-ton ship a week means the drlvln? of about 650,000 j rivets In that time. The Union Ship yards, of San Francisco,, as at present (equipped and freed from labor troubles. 1 can drive about 300.000 rivets, although in a record wecit it drove 411,000 rivets; the four next largest yards'ln America 'at Fere River, Massachusetts; at Nevv ; port News. Virginia: at Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the Delaware can drive zun.ooo to 275,000 rivets a week each. A half-dozen smaller steel ship- ' yards will drive from 00,000 to 150.P00 1 each seven days. Riveting, despite all the Inventions de vised to speed It up, remains hand work and slow work. A rivetlnrr cane ran. slsts of two men and two boys the riveter, his "holder-on," the passer boy 1 and the heater boy. Tho gang drives ' from 300 to 375 rivets- In tho course of a icii-nour aay anu is tired at the end of It. But when you know that It takes four men all of a worklne day to drive an average of a little less than 350 rivets, you can begin to see the full size of tho labor problem of driving at least 650,000 rivets a week necessary to turn out a 10,000-ton ship at the end of that length of time, In other words, you need 1200 men for the riveting gangs alone.

The resources of the Mexican oil fields could heat and light the United States'for many years. The United States Naval Consulting Board has reported: "The Mexican Oil Fields arc probably the most extensive deposits of oil in the Western Hemi sphere, if not in the world." C. W. Barron says in his book, THE MEXICAN PROBLEM "The farm power, the food power, the sea power, the world power, cry out for gasolene and fuel oil. The Pennsylvania and Indiana oil fields are failing appearances are that the great central reservoirs are in the Mexican fields." "It is figured that more than three-fourths of the oil values in this Mexican field are under the Mexican Petroleum Company's 62,000 acres, and that they represent a potentiality of at least five billion barrels in production, a sum ten times the world's annual consumption. "The great pioneer work of acquisition, produc tion, construction, finance and organization has been accomplished in seventeen years, and the patient owner should reap handsome rewards in the next seventeen i years.
