BLOCK-SHIPS AT DOVER
PLANS FOR THEIR REMOVAL
Dover, Oct. 12.
A definite movement is on foot to remove the two block-ships which I have obstructed the west entrance to Dover Harbour since the early days of the war. Their removal would make entrance to the harbour in rough weather much easier and thus result in a considerable saving of time in cross-Channel imffic dur- ing stormy weather..
Divers representing an English and a German firm have been at work during the past month locat ing and Inspecting the ships, and tenders have been received from a number of firms for carrying out the work. It is understood that these will be considered at a meet-.
morrow.
ing of Dover Harbour Board to
Captain John Iron, the harbour master, outlined the history of the blockships. "They are the Span- he Ish Prince and the Libonian, stated, "which were sunk at the entrance to the harbour in the early days of the war to stop the enemy's torpedoes from entering. If the work of raising the ships is to be undertaken it will be a long busi- ness. They are filled with Thames ballast-gravel and sand. The work will probably take a year, dur- ing which time the west entrance to the harbour will be closed."
Captain Iron himself was res- ponsible for the raising of the monitor Glatton in Dover Harbour In 1925. "It was a very difficult the job," he explained, "because ship lay on its side, and the work took nine months. This time, how- ever, the Harbour Board have decid- ed to invite outside .tenders."
The west entrance, to Dover Har- bour is the widest and the most sheltered of the two entrances, and It is anticipated that the removal of the block-ships will give a stimu- lus to Dover's trade.
Delays Daring Gales.
The town, apart from its con- siderable cross-Channel traffic, is now used as a port of call by many Dutch liners. It is possible that the improvement of its entrance will prompt some of the large Hamburg liners, which at present bave to pass within a few miles of the harbour, to call.
A ship's commander who makes frequent use of the harbour told of the difficulty experienced in effect- ing an entrance in rough weather. "During last Tuesday's gales," he stated, at least one of the cross- Channel steamers had to make many attempts before it was able to enter the narrow opening. Time and again it was blown out of its course. Sometimes boats are tossed to and fro for several hours, and pas- sengers often land in a state border- ing on collaspse."
Much of this delay and incon- venience would be obviated by the removal of the block-ships. If. therefore, the Harbour Board come to a favourable decision at their meeting they will play an important part in developing Dover's re- courses, and will earn the gratitude. of cross-Channel passenger traffic.
CORSET STRIKE OF CHORUS GIRLS.
*MEDIAEVÄL BARBARISM.'
New York, Oct. 12. Because they were directed to wear corsets on the stage 35 chorus girls in "Three Little Girls" went on strike while the audience at Chicago were waiting for the pro- duction to begin.
To save closing down, Mr. J. J. Shubert, the theatrical magnate, was compelled to telephone from New York countermanding the order.
The girls denounced corsets as "relics of medieval barbarism, which no.modern woman should be asked to tolerate, and complained that by wearing them they would ruin their figures and damage their health.
A fortnight ago in New York girls who protested were given dis- missal notices.
THE DANGER OF INDIGESTION.
Faw people realise that danger lurks behind that deemingly un- important discomfort after eating. Nevertheless it is true, for nine times out of ten the trouble is caused by excess stomach acid, which not only makes food ferment. but also attacks the stomach lining. and may cause ulceration. You can avoid such danger and promptly stop digestive distress by taking a little Biaurated' Magnesia after eating or whenever pain is felt. This instantly neutralises
all excess acid, averts fermenta-
