but no machinery installed, nnd hulls
recently started will be convened on
the un.YR into barges.
The whole flotilla of more than 123
yckscN will then be offered for sale by
the shipping boaid, according to Mr.
Pic.
The construe (ion of the wooden ships
caused one of the most heated contro
versies ofthc war period. It was re
garded ns n blunder because the pro
duction was slow and the use of the
craft limited. They cost about $185
per ton to build.
A board of engineers has fixed a
price of $110 a ton as their price. Tif
tcen hnc been sold, but because they
appeal onh to small ship owners it is
estimated that a still lower price will
have to be bet. Sir. Tics said :
"Tho matter of selling these vessels
Is in the hands of the shipping board.
I believe the price fixed bv the commit
tee that studied the subject was S110
a ton. The cost was about $183 a
ton."
The contracts with the Traylor Ship
building Company nt Cornwells were
cancelled by the shipping board three
weeks ago. Seven wooden vessels line
been launched by the company, and the
Sejten, the eighth, will 'slide into the
Delaware riir home time this week.
1 Two uncompleted vessels arc on the
wa;,s. Only about 400 of the original
4000 men nt the jaid are now cmplojcil
there, nccording to Samuel W. Traylor,
Jr., who said today that ns soon as the
(to eminent takes away its equipment
the jaid will be utilize to make nnd
repair road-building mnehincrj. There
arc ten shipa8 at the Traylor yard.

Old Tom George and his wife Martha

For flftj -eight years they hae lled

The passing jears .have built up their
fame as fishermen, nnd oen now. when
the waters of tho rher are spoiled by
sewage and waste from factories and
the number of flsh Is smaller yearly,
old Tom and Martha manage to catch
enough during the season to provide
foi themselves during tho remainder
of the jear.
Flsh Less rlentlful
Thev both remember when almost any
quantity of flsh could be got by casting
a line or a net fifty feet from the Penn
sylvania shore. Now they have to row
across to the Jersey side, nnd even there
the flsh are not so plentiful as formerly.

others along the river tront as to which
of the two is the most dexterous with a
net. the more adept with an oar and the
better all-around longshoreman.
Xeither Tom nor Martha questions it,
though. Tom was surprised that any
person should be In Ignorance of the best

"Just look nt the way she pulls an

Martha drove a heavy Ashing boat to
ward the shore with long, povverfu'
strokes
"She's like wine, she Improves wltr
age," he continued, his eves lighting up
as Martha beached the boat, sprang
lightly to the Bhore, despite her seventj
elght years, and pulled the heavy boat
nbovo the tide mark.
"Wlsslnomlng never had a better boat
man than my Tom. and the days when
this beach has a chance to train one are
over," Martha said when asked her opin
ion as to the better boaters.
Others may dlsputo In their own
minds the superiority ot the two oldest
residents of the beach, but when some
particularly tough piece of ship car
pentering or caulking or other water
front work Is to be done they look for
Tom, or, failing to find him, ask Martha
to lend a hnhd. They nro never met
with a refusal

"To improve the golden moments of opportunity and catch the
good that is within our reach is the great art of life." Many oppor
tunities for advantageous buying in the Chestnut Street Shops are lost
through shortsightedness; hosts of articles therein may never again
be procurable, either at the same price or at any price, but customers
are not the only people who miss opportunities. Thirty years ago a
prominent rug merchant of the Chestnut Street Association was
offered, and tefused, a fine antique rug for $20,000. Todav that mas
terpiece of the sixteenth century, the renowned Ardebil Mosque Car
pet, reposes in the South Kensington Museum, London, undoubtedly
the most precious and famous rug m the world, and of priceless value.
