ELECTRIC DRIVE FOR GIANT U. S. WARSHIP NOW Recently Launched "California* Marvel for Scientific' Advancement. / PROPELLERS WEIGH TONS WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The California, recently launched at Mare Island, is the third electrically driven sdperdreadnought to be added to the United States navy, the only navy In the world which has thus far equipped its fighting craft with this method of propulsion. Several years ago W. L. R. Emmet, consulting engineer of the General Electric Company, interested marine engineers in the prophecy that electricity would provide the motive power for vessels of every description. The first experiments were made with the collier Jupiter, with apparatus designed and manufactured in the shops of the big plant at Schenectady. Thus the ancient Dutch city on the banks of the Mohawk river became in a sense the birthplace of electric drive. The advantages were seen to be so great that naval officers commended the installation for capital ships, and when the giant California was put into commission last month electricity operated her propelling machinery, her militant equipment, her lighting, heating and ventilating systems, down to the kitchen devices and soldering and glue-pots. The California, which is the “last word” in battleship design and fitting, has many electrical features. She, is the first vessel of her kind to be turned out in a Pacific coast shipping yard. EKEL OF BATTLESHIP LAID THREE YEARS. Her keel was laid three years ago, but during the war her builders turned their attentjon to the output of smaller craft. Upon the signing of the armtstlce an army of workmen took possession of the floating city and bent all their energies towards her completion. Christened by Mrs. Randolph T. Zane, daughter of Gov. William D. Stephens of California and widow of a hero of the battle of Belleau Woods, she “slipped down the tide” cheered by many thousands. Her great turbo generators, capable of de- i veloplng 28,000 horsepower, are among the principal units of the California’s' electrical drive. She has four motors, connected to four propeller shafts. Each motor is twelve feet in diameter, weighs slxty-two tons, and the combined capacity Is sufficient to supply light and power to a city of 100,000 population, i Nine boilers produce steam at a pressure ; of 250 pounds to the square Inch. Part j of the steam is diverted to six auxiliary turbo-generator sets in different parts of ! the ship, which produce electricity for all purposes aside from propulsion. It Is the belief of many persons that electricity is a source of power which merely needs harnessing to produce results, independent of coal and oil. This Is not true, for an electric ship burns fuel in mnbh’ the same way as the older j types of engines. The California and New Mexico burn oil exclusively and accomplish their “coaling” through a six-inch hose. Their oil capacity is 1,900 tons, but the saving is great, for it has been demonstrated that it amounted to nearly 20 per eenfa.

BETTER PROTECTION THAN OTHER WARSHIPS. The California Is estimated to have 30 ; per cent better _protection than any other American battle ship. She carries twelve fourteen-inch guns, four submerged tor“Y>€do tubes, twenty-five* two-inch rapidfire guns, four six-pounders, two onepounders, four three-inch anti-aircraft guns, one three-tneb landing gun and two thirty-caliber machine guns. Two firing cages located in the huge steel mast direct the work of the guns, which have a range of eighteen miles, and one broadside, from which could hurl six massive tonring cars from Sandy Hook into New l'ork City. The California will have a crew of 1,022 men and 58 officers. She has a length of 624 feet, a breadth of 06 feet and weighs (displaces) 32.000 ions. She has an estimated speed of 21 knots per | hour. The West Virginia. Maryland and other superdreadnaughts being planned and under .construction are to be similar in practically many d"taiis. One of the single apprehensions expressed in the beginning by naval officers was that the shock of gunfire might prove disastrous to the electrical Installation, especially the insulators, cable supports and instruments. A firing test was made by discharging all of the four-teen-inch guns broadside at the same instant. Careful inspection revealed the f%t that not a single failure or derangement occurred in connection with the entirely stem. ThV weight of the electrical propelling machinery is less than 600 tons, and the space occupied is comparatively little in the center of the ship, where It is immune from attack and from danger by collision or grounding. ELECTRIC DRIVE TO BE MORE EXTENSIVE. Now that the electric drive has proven to be clean, economical, safe and efficient, It will be tested on cargo carriers and passeiiger vessels, and there is no doubt but that It will revolutionize the field of marine activity. Two nineteen-knot passenger vessels, propelled by electrical machinery, are to ply between Pan Francisco and -Eos Angeles In the spring. The first electrically propelled trawler in the world is being tested in New England waters. Bhe is known as The Mariner and is stannch enough to wearther the stormiest fishing trips In the North Atlantic. Two 1,600-ton coast guard cutters are In building and are to be outfitted with electrical propulsion. They are the largest ever ordered for the service. One may be placed on the great lakes for duty, and the other Is designed to be a derelict destroyer.

The recent coal strike gave added Impetus to the movement to make fuel oil the ship propelling power of the future. The arguments In favor are the reduction in the cost of operation, the size of the crews, the elimination of coal stokers and the release of much cargo space that is now given over to coal. Dirt and other discomforts attending the loading and use of coal are done away with, and uniform steam pressure is more easily maintained, insuring a steady rate of speed and reducing the degree of deterioration of furnaces and boilers resulting from uneven temperatures. The pioneers of the electric drive are so convinced of its superiority, that they believe vessels without it will prove to be objects of as much curiosity in time to come as the qualfit sailing craft of bygone days Is to the present generation.

Six Hurt Jumping When Home Burns ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.—The six children of Patrolman John Fitzgibbons were i*' jured when they jumped from a secondstory window of their home to escape tire. Margaret Fitzgibbons, 19 years old, is in a serious condition. * Their home was destroyed. Fitzgibbons was on duty* at the time. / SPRAY TREES NOW, ADVICE Scale Can Best Be Killed While Limbs Are Bare. Now is the time to spray trees tC kill scale parasites, according to TriV nouncement made by .Tames U. Lowry, park superintendent, Saturday, With the tress Darren of foliage, u strong solution of Insect poison can be used to good advantage, Mr. Dowry said. In order to effectively eliminate scale parasites it is necessary to kill each one, and this-can best be accomplished at the present time, to the park superintendent. Two solutions are recommended for use against San Jose, Oyster Shell and Cotton Maple scales. A solution of one part sulphur and tjvo parts water and one composed of one ptyt of miscible oil to fifteen parts of water are recommended as effective sprays by officials of the park board. The special service department established by the park board will advise citizens as to the care of trees and on other methods of- beautifying the city. Tree wiU be planted in residential districts on petition of property owners, Mr. Dowry informed, thus making it possible to have entire streets planted at a minimum cost.

Fears Goods Will Fall Into Hands of Bolshevists. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—There will be no trade between the United States and Russia until England and France have laid down a trade program by which It can be assured that goods sent to Russia will not fall Into the bands of the bolsheviks for military and political uses. This waß the answer that the state department gave to the representatives of a large number of American corporations, who were hero Saturday to discuss the question of Russian trade. Officials of the state department today stated that the United States has never had a blockade against Russia, but has merely bad an embargo and that this government is willing to permit trade with Russia at any time that there is assurance that auch trade will not be used for military or political purposes. England and France must establish trade with Russia, because they are In dire need of raw materials which Russia has, according to information reaching the state department. For this reason It is believed here tba.t England and France will establish a method of barter with Russia which will be so guarded that it will not furnish old for the bolshevik military campaign*. The United States has always taken the position that trade with Russia is one of the best means of combating the bolshevik movement. Officials today stated that if trade were established with the anti-bolshevlst groups In Russia that undoubtedly this fact would cause a large number of desertions from the bolshevtkt to the anti-bolsbeviki.

Railroad Man Ordered to Pay $8,160 Alimony Wife Divorces Conductor — Gets S4O Monthly for Next Seventeen Years . John M. Beaver, said to be a passenger train conductor on the Peoria and Eastern Division of the Big Four railroad, Saturday was ordered to pay $8,160 alimony to his divorced wife, Mrs. Harriet Beaver, by William E. Riley, judge pro tem In superior court. Room 3. during the illness of Judge Solomn Carter. The court granted a divorce on the petition of Mrs. Beaver, who alleged that her husband associated with other women, struck and neglected her. Judge Riley in fixing the large alimony said: “The wife Is advanced In years and Beaver has discarded her as he would an old shoe. She has no meins of support and It Is right that she be supported. The court must act Judicially but If I had my personal way about it, I would give all the property to the wife.” The court ordered Beaver to pa# $8,160 alimony by paying $lO a month for seventeen years. The Beavers were married on June 26, 1593, and separated June 26, 1918. Mrs. Beuyer originally asked for $7,000 alimony but this was set aside when the court refused to consider any agreements between the two. * Evelyn Biasdel, 5207 College avenue, has filed a suit for divorce in superior court, room 2, against Ambrose Biasdel, a wealthy farmer in Fulton county, Indiana. She alleges cruelty and nousupport and claims that she was forced to leave the farm in FultoK county and come to Indianapolis. They were married in 1892 and separated June 15 last. She asks alimony of $4,000. There are six children. WOMEN LIKELY TO GET PLACE IN NATION’S LEAGUE LONDON, Jan. 20.—Tho proposal for the establishment of an international women’s bureau and conference In connection with the league of nations is commanding increasing support in feminist circles in Great Britain. It is contended that the present position of w-om-en is somewhat analogous to that of labor, which has already set up a permanent international office to deal with It* particular problems and bring them before the league. Curiously enough it is the labor movement in England vrnlch offers the most determined opposition to the idea of a woman’s bureau. As its members are professed believers in sexequalily, it is difficult to understand the attitune of thought w’hleb has made them on more than one occasion Set contrary to the expressed wishes of the leaders of the women’s movement. It Is true that In the old days of suffrage agitation, the parliamentary labor party voted for the women's bills that come before the house. But so did many liberals, and even conservatives. It Is also true that they might have rendered enormous service to the cause of women’s enfranchisement and shortened the agitation by some years If, when they held the balance of power In the bouse of commons, they, had chosen to use It for that purpose.

CITY EMPLOYES OPEN COST WAR Co-Operative Baying Planned so Hit Middle Man. Fifteen hundred city employes have started out to cut down the high cost of living. ' They’ve held one meeting nad have arranged another. Sponsors of the movement declared today they intend to form a co-operative buying association. This, they said, wiU be done at a meeting next Friday afternoon at 4 o’olock. The association will buy staple foods and fuel and sell it to members at cost. Sales wil be on a cash baais and buying will be in wholesale lots. y The first meeting of the proposed organization was held yesterday afternoon. James 11. Lowry, park commissioner, opened the meeting, which was held in the city hall. Oscar Wise of the street commissioner's department, was elected temporary chairman. A committee to draw up regulations for the association was appointed at a meeting of city employes yesterday afternoon. Harry E. Yockey of the legal department was appointed Other members were L. B. Forsyth, police department; Luther Tex, street commissioners department; James Mann, engineering department; John Brennan, city controller’s office; Henry Fleming, street cleaning department; Roy > Lawson, municipal garage; Charles Myers, park department, and Ralph Alldredge, fire department. There will be a meeting of the committee at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon iu the office of the city controller. ‘ Robert H. Bryson, city controller, estimated that a saving of from 25 to 30, per cent could be made through the as--sociatlon by city employes. He spoke of a similar organization of postal, employes when he was postmaster and said it had proved a decided success. Mr. Bryson said the average pay of city employes was from $3.20 to $4 per day and that often they did not get a full week’s pay. Dwight 8. Ritter, city purchasing agent, cited an Incident of saving by collective buying when he purchased a carload of potatoes last fall for members of the fire department. These potatoes were sold to the firemen at $3.95 a bag of 100 pounds. The retail price was $7. The purchasing department of the city I will be asked to assist the new associaj tion In buying supplies. Those fostering the movement have established a pol- ! icy of putting all activities Into the ; hands of members who may act through ! committees of their own appointment.

Prohibition forces are all set-to wage war against illicit booze traffic in Indiana, Charles J. Orblson, special agent to enforce prohibition, said today. A meeting of the "drying squad” was held at 1 o’clock this afternoon in prohibition headquarters, 305 Federal building. Special agents of the dry forces, who have been making investigations in varL j ous parts of the state, reported a decided j shortage of booze In some localities. However, some damp spots were found and preparations are now under way to api ply the government sponge to such communities. Raids are being planned for the near future, according to Mr. Orblson. He outlined a campaign this afternoon and gave his agents instructions at the meeting. The prohibition forces will operate under direction of the state beadquarters and make reports of all raids and arrests. The two“strong arm” stations in Hammond, Ind., and Evansville, Ind., are now prepared to guide the war against booze in their respective districts. Mr. OrbJsop returned to Indianapolis from Evansville, where he gave personal instructions to the various officials of that city. He is planning further personal visits to the leading communities of the state to personally urge a strict enforcement of the dry law. He will visit Terre Haute and Ft. Wayne next week, he said. STATE OFFICIALS MUST ENFORCE LAW. “If we find that county and state officials are not enforcing the prohllbtlon law we will act under the federal conspiracy act and bring them before the courts charged with conspiracy,” said Mr. Orbison today. ‘‘Prohibition must be enforced.” “The district attorney and department of justice will co-operate with the prohibition forces to assure an enforcement of prohibition. Citizens are urged to get behind the law aud see that it Is not i violated. Prohibition la no longer a ynati ter of personal opinion and It Is the duty ■of every good citizen to support the law.” Os Superlative Merit As good at one season as another for Impure Blood, Humors, Erupe tions.
