SPEEDING UPON SHIPSl
SHIPYARD BOXING FAN
TEACHES BIBLE CLASS
Charlie Black Proves It Isn't
"Cussing" That Makes a
Man Popular
There nre not many of u like Charlie
i at the Cramp shipyard. He la uaunllv
referred to In tho yard na "Ulackle, tho
strong man," and you would naturally
expect to meet a Stir.dow or one of his
pupus.
Charlie does not mrasiiro uii tn ihni
In real physical strength and jou wonder
how ho ever Rot the name. Ho never
sought' rucIi distinction. In fact, his
, nmoiuon is anu always nai necn simply
to be ''Blackle," a God-fearing man
tnonn real men and a Rood sport
withal. The crowd's verdict Is that he
has made Rood.
!iP Black started In at the Crninn sliln-
yard twenty or twenty-five yeais rko.
it was ills llrst jol). Ie had been
C brought up In Sunday school and he
stuck to it and still lives up to its rules.
He leaves his Bible at home for the
children to read -and goes to the ship
yard to live the life hat pleases him
and helps others.
Sunday he has a Bible clasH Monday
& noon he may be seconoMnir some fighter
III Win UUIS VA1IIIJIUUU1 111 lil .YUIU
Tuesday noon may find him working out
If plans for some big sporting event for
tne shlpworkers or arranging a theatre
party or some other pastime for them
Although he finds genuine pleasure, tn
mingling with the men at work nnd at
Play, he does not use "cuss" words.
When he hears them swearing ho Is ap
parently deaf to It. When he takes
leave of the boys on Saturday he goes
back to his Bible and prepares for the
morrow's lesson.
Charlie was one of the seconds In last
Tuesday's boxing exhibition in the ship
yard. He looked tho part in almost
every respect. He was first In the ring
at tho end of each round to get the
towel working, and tho fans had a great
deal of fun with him during the three
rounds. Naturally, ho Is very popular
and everybody In the plnnt will ((wear
by him. In fact, they all say that not
even a sporting event there would be
complete without "Ch.irtle, the strong
man " He is certainly strong with that
crowd and probably that explains tho
title. To look him In tho face Is to see
at once that the man lias taken the very
b'est care of himself all his life.

FEAR LOSS OF TOMATO CROP
New Jersey Farmers Send Out
Cry for Help in Fields
"Help save the tomatoes," Is the
basis of a call sent out today to women
and girls and men through the Federal
employment bureau In New Jersey.
At least 1800 persons nro needed Im
mediately on tho farm and In the can
nerles In the southern part of the State.
Women 'and girls who were employed
during the summer on Jersey farms
have mostly returned to their homes to
resume teaching or attending school.
This has left the farmers nnd canners
so shorthanded that It Is feared that a
great part of tho tomato crop, a great
part of which has been sold to the
Government, will spoil.
