The laieest single, item In
I of fabricating a steel ship
riveting of her hull ; therefore tho drlv
I Ing ot rivets Is taken as a standard of
I slue and of progress by most of the ship
j builders. 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.

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.

Oil for Fuel!
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.
