The program for Bleed ship construction is planned up to the limit of the steel, machinery and equipment possibilities. The output of steel ships and of wooden ships is con stantly increasing, but the maximum of output in steel construction has not yet been reached. The output of steel plates and shapes of our rolling mills is still considerably greater than the needs of steel shipbuilding at its present rate of production, and Mr, SchwaVs concern in securing a proper distribution of the available steel supply, is not that the steel out , put will not meet our present needs, but that it may not meet the greatly expanded needs of our future plans. He is bringing up the subject in time so that steps may be taken to increase the steel producing capacity in conformity with the plans of steel ship construction. There has lately been a persistent campaign for the , building of concrete ships, a campaign based on the misconception that there is an untouched reservoir of raw material and labor which can be used for this pur pose without burdening transportation facilities and without impairing the output of steel and wooden aMps now under construction. The concrete ship crusaders have been imbued with the ides that a ship m simply a hull, losing sight of the important fact that' the equipment of a 7,500-ton concrete ship is the same as the equipment of a 7,500-tou steel ship. The plain facts of the situation are explained by Mr. Charles Pies, Vice-President of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, Mr, Piez says; . "Because of the limitations in our power and ship equipment producing capacity, our output of ships is measured by the number of vessels we can equip rather than by the number of hulls that we can launch. Facilities for the production of power equipment, deck equipment and other ship equip ment have steadily been added to and the produc tion is constantly Increasing, but, even today, the bull-producing capacity of the country in steel and wood ships is in excess of what may be termed the power and equipment producing capacity for fitting out these ships. The mere addition of another 140 ways, turning out, as has been suggested, from 400 to 450 con crete hulls aggregating over 2J4 million tons, would, even if that construction program were possible of execution, add not a single ship to our fleet. As a carrier, the steel, ship is admittedly from fifteen to twenty per cent, more effective than a wooden or concrete ship of similar tonnage. The Emergency Fleet Corporation lias, therefore, been wise in concentrating its efforts on the construction, of steel tonnage and treating the wood and concrete ships as purely emergency agencies/' - 0**AiI Routes of the World Which Will he Reopened to Trade Upon the Cc mk Uo h b of Submarine Warfare December, 1918 Du Pont Magazine A Nation of Shooters Peter P.

Its steadily growing success lias been due largely to i he constant employment of Ihe best, trained men to he hud. Throughout Ihe I lb 3'ears of its history the relat-i-ms of the Du Ikmt, Company to the lAxloral Govern ment; have been of the most patriotic nature.

During the life of the ennymny, through the me of explosives, over a quarter of a- million miles of railroad ami more limn two million miles of highway have Hen built in the United States; over dtHJ.OOOihlt) acres oi kmd ha ve been clean'd and improved, and in one single year over tK)0,0U0,(HI0 tons of eonl have been mined. The Ikmaina Canal has been excavated, and in New York alone miJicuis of tuns of stone have been moved for the building of aqueducts mid subways, all of which was accomplished by tho use of explosives. A large percentage of them was manufactured by the Du Pont Company. Without the use of such large amounts of explosives thb country could not have made such marvelous progress. Never has the Du Pont Company looked to its , eoiinl ry's military exigencies for profit, but rather to legitimate commercial growth. ill if is a matter of great; pride to the Du Pont Company that it has played sueh a large part in furnishing In our own emmlry and to our Allies the explosives without which the war would long ago have he<m lost, .and with which we look to set; it brought to a successful close. The company early in the war, before the United States Government entered the cxmOiet-, decided upon the policy of projecting our -Government against: any Increase in tho cost of powder to them, if it were pos sible ; and throughout 11*14, 11)15 and 19i(y when the price ranged 11,00, IK) cents and 80 cents to foreign gosernmejjH, the company furnished the Tnifnl States Army ami Txtwv nil their requirements, aggregating 10,000,000 pounds of smokeless powder at 50 to 53 cents per pound.

The sainc words will apply to our country. Muw why is the Du Pont. Company in dyestuffs? The answer is obvious. As has b< on shown, the dye industry Is very rlnsi-ly related to the manufacture of explosives. 11 was very easy for the organization to pass to this other work. Rut oilier Americans also accepted (he challenge of the German boycott and set about making dyes fur our corn dry's use.

Similar adjustments have keen going on ever since and as the insatiable demand for gasoline pin red a. premium upon its production the gasoline tanks have filled faster and faster at- the expense of oilier petroleum products. But this process has readied its practical limits and any substantial increase of petroleum gasoline must re sult from an absolute increase in the supply of petro leum itself. Such an increase may come or it may not. Already its delay is reflected in the decreased stocks of gasoline in storage, a decrease which would have re sulted in an acute shortage months ago, were nor the sit nation saved by the addition last year of some 500000,1)00 gallons of good gasoline from an entirely milejK-rident- source, and at; least that much more by late fall of lids year. The main nurpo.se of this article is to fell the story of this KifUTtjvttcy gasoline, a- story that a-s yet. very few laymen know anything about but in which lies the hope of the motor world for mi adequate future supply of this vital iluitl. A large' percentage of wells that produce petroleum also produce natural gas. but n great many gas wells do ilot, produce petroleum. Natural gas has been u-ed in this country since 1821 hut, the development, of the natural gas industry, as we are familiar with it.-, bus taken place for the most, part in lho last- twenty years. This development, lias been so uniform and so devoid of sensational features that, few people appreciate its present, magnitude. The Hauler will lx1 interested to know that natural gas to the value of 8120,000,000 was marketed in the United Btides in 1016, a- sum greater by $27,000,000 than the value of all the gold and nearly two and one-hall limes the value of all tin; silver produced in this country 1 hat year. In that year, 2,3<2,-t04 domestic consumers, in twenty States, used natural gas for heat ami light, and 18,278 indus trial concerns used it- for fuel. At the end of that year there were 28,000 producing gas wells ami 13,(1)0,000 acres of laud under (he. control of gas-prodiicing com panies, and what Ls more pertinent to our story, i-liese companies distributed in 1016 the stupendous total of 753,000,000 cubic feet of gas. One of the chief dillkmlties of collecting and dis tributing natural gas through iron pi)>e lines had al ways been the condensation of certain invisible vapors in the gas. thus forming a seal or plug of ilnkl in low places in the lines which obstructed the passage of I he gas. This condition was more troublesome in cold wca.ther and in lines carrying gas at high pressures. Aside from providing drips at, low places and vents through which this lluid could he blown out of the lines when necessary, no particular attention was given to the formation of the liquid or to 'us dw-rader ami nu attempts were made to save it. During 1901 and 1902 it, became noticed generally that the liquid which aeeumutared in gas lines was virtually identical with ttie gasoline derived from "crude" oil and eonlb he made to work in th> -aracmoi Hies. Laboratory analyses of various specimens of uu ura! gas obtained from oil veils showed such g: s to S>r satu rated wall the invisible vapors of heavy hydrocarbons, principally [x-ntane and hexane, which were liqu liable Hilda* proper conditions os' pressure am) refrigera tion. In 11)03 and .11104 the first serious attempts to con serve the gasoline content of natural gas were made and by 1909 several snub: plants were itt -ueees.-iul operation. With the processes c'abonsled the pressures anil temperatures necessary eoiilu no obtained by the use yf much lues and fittings of sumJiu .1 ei instruction and capacities and ns the business was exceedingly profitable the number of ninnis it:creased rapidly.

In six brutes, producing gasoline from " casing hem]" ga-, that is, 2Tss collected between the tubing and easing of wells yield ing crude oil, ami often referred to m- "'.vet'* gas be cause of its large content of gasoline vapors as :< !pared with the "dry'' gas from wells producing no oil. The method of ex trued tig 1 he gasoline vapor- from "casing head'*' or '* wet," gas is comparatively simple anti generally ns follows: Pi pi lines are const:' iclcd to tlx* various oil weds and eoimeeted to huge vacuum pumps. These pumps deliver the gas in a low stage compressor which compresses it- up to between 10 and "() pounds per .square inch.

It passes from this second stage of compression into a, cooling system where the high leinpcRtltire resulting fmm compression is reduced to tit) or 70 degrees l1'. After this cooing the compressed gas passes into a large expansion tank which is iitdotnatieiilfy eoniroliod by expansion valves, l-Iins allowing the gas to expand rapidly in a large area.

The absorption proc lepends upon the well- known principle of the solubility of gases in liquids. It consists in bringing the gas to be treated into intimate contact with a body of oil heavier than gasoline. In percolating through this heavier oil the molecules of the latter act us a sponge, absorbing and holding the gasoline vapors present in the gas. The absorbed gasoline is then separated from the heavier oil by ordi nary fractional distillation over heat. Mineral seal oil. which may be any of the heavier petroleum distil lates, is generally used as the absorbing medium. In the largest plants the process of absorption, and distil lation is continuous and the mineral seal oil is in con stant use with very little loss. A very large percentage of the "dry" gas treated Is returned to the lines to be marketed anti its average loss in heating value is only about. 2 per cent., and this is more than compensated for by the elimination of nil troubles from the liquid condensates which otherwise form in the gas lines, pre venting the distributing companies from rendering the best service. The 176 plants making natural-gas gasoline in 1911 wore all compression plants and produced 7,425,889 gallons of raw gasoline that year. In, 1910, only five years later, 590 compression arid absorption plants in twelve States, produced 103,492,889 gallons, a gain of nearly 1294 per cent, in the annual output. In 1917 when the requirements for motor gasoline began, to exert real pressure upon ttie new industry, the num ber of plants j uinped to 886 and the production of raw gasoline to 217,884,104 gallons, over 100 per cent, in a single year. Nor does this surprising record indicate the full ex tent of the contribution of this new industry in saving the gasoline situation--the actual contribution was about 2b| times as great. Raw natural-gas gasoline is a very' volatile and light-weight fuel, averaging about 90 degrees Baunae gravity. It is not satisfactory for use in this condition because it loses a great deal by evaporation in storage and handling, is not usually permissible for railroad transportation, and is inclined to be dangerous because it fumes very easily. It is also not as powerful as heavier distillates. It gives a sharp, quick explosion in a motor cylinder but seems to lack "push." It requires the addition of considerable quantities of less volatile, heavier and more powerful December, 1918 Du Pont Magazine IS fraction.-. in order io make t-ln must run vcthcin. and erecte,. and old ones exrenilei] in e\ery direct i<>a ecu nominal motor fuel. throLghout tile oil lichls.

The Du Pont American In dustries invite you to acquaint yourself, in toiletware, with the rare beauty and usefulness that obtain in Ivory Py-ra-lin a masterfully contrived American product closely resembling elephant ivory, yet far more diversified, practical and inexpensive. It is easily cared for, in perfect taste, and enduring. Ivory Py-ra-lin is the American gift' suggestion. It may be had in single pieces as desired, or in most elaborate sets, at leading stores everywhere. THE ARLINGTON WORKS OWNED AND OPERATED BY E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO. 725 BROADWAY, NEW YORK
