Iowa farm woman's tireless energy in raising 23 motherless piglets by means of a nursing bottle has produced 4,600 pounds of pork. Last March when the little pigs were left motherless on the farm of Mrs. Conrad Stieglitz she went into action with a nursing bottle and hot sand. For five weeks the pigs were fed from the bottle and she placed bags of heated sand around the litter to keep them warm. Then Mrs. Stieglitz trained them to drink from a trough. All the pigs lived and now average 180 to 200 pounds. Livestock experts described her accomplishment "very unusuaL" 20 Dogs and Seven Cats Are Found in Old House Officials of the NEW YORK.

United States will have built 50,000.000 deadweight tons of merchant ships by the end of 1944, and will come out of the war with a tremendous surplus of shipping to be disposed of agreement, Rear by international Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman of the maritime commission, reAdmiral Land envisaged an American merchant fleet after the war d of 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 tons, with 10,500,000 tons before the war. Maritime commission officials said that between 30,000,000 and tons of shipping are expected to survive enemy action, but that the surplus would be hardly more than enough to meet the immediate postwar needs of other nations, which have been unable to build their own ships during the war. Five ways to dispose of the surplus ships were suggested by Admiral Land. The United States, he said, might give them away, charter them, sell them, scrap them, or hold them in reserve, keeping them in good repair for immediate use in case of another war or similar sudden demand for ships. Expansion Anticipated. Officials explained that it was much less costly in the long run to keep ships in good repair than to let them fall to pieces, as so many did after World War I, only to build a lot more a few years later. However, American shipping companies are already looking ahead to the possibilities of a great expansion after the war, it was said. The Liberty ships would be excellent for "tramp" service, a type of shipping which has been one of England's great industries, but has never been undertaken on a large scale by the United States. American companies may also expand their regular lines, opening up new routes between foreign countries and creating new markets for American goods by providing delivery service. In addition, the first few years after the war will require a great expansion in world shipping, because the processes of reconstruction, relief and demobilization will require vast shipments of men and goods all over the world. Industry Celebrates. Appropriately, "Victory Fleet Day" was celebrated on the second anniversary of the launching of the first Liberty ship, the Patrick Henry. Since that time the industry has grown from 21 shipyards employing 200,000 men and turning out seven ships a month to 100 yards employing 750,000 men and women and turning out five ships a day. He praised labor for its part in creating and operating the United Nations' merchant fleet and said the commission had met with "remarkable success" in its dealings with labor. Admiral Land said Germany still has about 300 submarines and that it has been rumored that some of them have been reconditioned to fight on the surface. "I hope they do," he commented. -- 3, v v - -" : ws, $ i C , s - ? ? Jt V s i x A i 1 imimwi-iBy Bureau of Publio r lA,. T,iiirni Wu Ppt Wh., D. C.

Intensive basic training will be given to new, untrained employes as well as advanced training to current operators whose experience, with supplementary training, qualifies them for promotion. The need for skilled operators is increasing constantly and it is expected that 5,00s trained office machine operators will be needed this year.
