AMERİCA “FAR DOWN THE LINE.”
PARIS (U.P.)
The proportion of uniform in elease in hipbuilding-tonnage up to September 30th of this year is in favour of Germany, which amang. all shipbuilding nations of the world, shows the biggest gain over the preceding trimestre of 1998.
Germany is staging a remarkable come back, and despite the fact that England still leads the world in shipbilding, the second place in pro jected and finished construction,
goes to Germany.
The United States is far down the line, about on a footing with the British Dominions. This probably places the United States shipyards on a plane of inactivity lower than any of the big powers, considering the number of shipyards, the size of the country and its vast industrial

That interrupting Cough-
Sensitive people suffer acute discomfort when their irritating cough interferes with their own enjoyment and that of others. This is often painfully evident when listening-in' or when at the
theatre or, concert..
But immediate relief from such. troublesome coughs may be had by taking an 'Allenburys' Gly cerine & Black Currant Pastille. They clear the throat and allay irritation.

"So Healthy & Vigorous"
Dr. Claude L. Wheeler. the well-known scientist, writes:
"The user of Samatoges in richly rewarded in freedom from kingunt, # Lain of strength and activity, alertness of wind and a repid re- storation of the ability le plan and execute."
Sir Gilbert Parker, Bt., the famous novelist, writes:
I have used Sanalogen with extraordinary bene- fit. It feeds the nerves, increasing the energy and giving frash vigour ta the over-worked boty and mind.”
"And to think that a short time ago he was one of those nervous, plodding men of whom nobody takes much notice."
*Yes, he certainly is a success now. He simply radiates energy and power.” Sanatogen.infuses into the very ceils of the blood and nerves those elements- phosphorus and albumin--from which bodily health arid nerve-strength are derived. Scientific research has proved beyond" doubt that Saratogen in creases the number of red blood cella enormously, viz. 80,000 per c.mm. in one week, or 200,000 in a fortnight (figures supplied by one of the leading hospitals). And in the Medical Echo, of March 1924, a physician published the following graph:

Other countries which show pro- portionate gains in the last three months ending September 30th in elude Holland, which shows a gain of 15,000 tons; and France which shows gain of 12.000 tons, which puts France ahead of Italy. that country having lost over £1,000 tons in the three months.
Russia, Japan and Denmark all lost in tonnage, while the loss of the United States in a comparison between the second and third sernestre was more than 33,000 tons.
Tonnage under construction is divided these days between steel and iron steamboats and steel and iron motor driven boats, the steam driven ship still leading.

One of the reasons for a decrease in ship construction for the last three months reported, is due to. the failing off in the construction of oil, tankers. An excess tonnage was available for shipments, -al-Homes though Great Britain had under construction 24 tankers, France be- ing next with nine.
The Engines. With the decrease in shipbuilding in the last three months up to September 30th, a similar decrease was noted in marine engines. Six Another interesting feature of hundred forty-six engines of various ship construction as reported by sizes were in construction for a Lloyd's Register is that various estimated horse power of 2,040,879. countries are still building wooden In the preceding three months, 700 and iron sailing ships. Twenty-machines approximating million seven steel sailing ships with a gross horse power were reported. tonnage of more than 10,000 are un der construction and swooden sail- ing vessels are building in a gross tonnage of 6,200. Great Britain is building 14 of these old fashioned sailing ships and the United States is building 12, mostly on the Atlan tic ports.
Of, the steel tonnage, Germany is building 45 steam driven an 42 motor driven ships. England is building 168 steam driven ships and
Great Britain had under construc- tion 240 motors and engines for 846,000 horse power, Germany was next with 84 reported, but which does not include the number of turbines in construction, all for a reported horse power of more than 253,000.

The total tonnage for all countries shows 300,000 in crease of motor boats over steam driven ships, although the number of steam driven ships larger by 51.
