NEW WARCRAFT REACHES LIMIT s TO RUN CANAL U. S. Monsters Have Beam Only 5 Feet Less Than Width of Locks. MAY CHECK BUILDING WASHINGTON, J&n. 17.—Whether the engineers who designed the Panama Canal committed a colossal blunder which may one day put the American Navy at the mercy of Japan, or whether. In their superior wisdom, they .haTed billions to this and future generations by placing an automatic check upon the sire of warships, is the question which Is exciting keenest Interest among cava] experts here at present. This dispute Is an outgrowth of the recent announcement of the dimensions of the twelve monster warships now ■'■puildlng for the American Navy, and opinion appears to be about evenly divided. The locks of the Panama Canal are 1,000 feet long, forty feet deep and 110 feet wide. The new battle cruisers of the Constellation* type are 874 feet long, 31 feet draft and 101 feet BV4 Inches wlda. The new battleships of the North Caroline class are 634 feet long, 33 feet draft and 106 feet wide. The Constellation might ba 120 feet longer and still be able to get through the canal, but If she were four feet wider she would have to steam 12,000 miles around Cape Horn In order to pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific. CANAL'S LIMIT IS REACHED. Rear Admiral D. T. Taylor, regarded by many as the foremost nsvai construc--tor of the world, says the North Carolina and the ether ships of her class will pas* through the canal, even though there will be only two and a half feet of water on either side of her when she does It. Naval experts agree, however, that the limit of beam has been reached In the North Carolina, and that If ships are to ] pass through the Canal locks -e* they now stand they must not exceed the 105foot breadth carried by the North Carolina^ Because of the great length of coast line, it Is highly essential from a etra- , teglc point of view that American war- ! ships be able to pass quickly from the : Atlantic to the Pacific. If this should i become impossible, experts say, the: strength of the navy would need to be 1 virtually doubled In order to afford am- ! pie protection to both the East and West j coasts. Japan Is reported to be planning war- I ships which compare favorably In slxe, j speed and armament with the best of the American fleet Great Britain has not yet decided upon anew building program, but recent press dispatches from indicate a strong feeling there tint British Nary should equal that of the United States and Japan combined. While other nations mar deem It de- j sirable that their warships be able to negotiate the Panama Canal, It is pointed out that only’ the United States has really compelling reasons for designing vessels with that end la view. MAT BE CHECK ON BUILD I NO. Considerations of economy would urge j the United States to stick to her policy ] of constructing only ships that can pass . from the Atlantic to the Pacific without the necessity of a 12,000-mile detour j round the Horn. If ska does that some : naval men are asking what Is to prevent other powers from building warships of sufficient sire, armor and armament to outclass our fighting craft? On the other hand, there are those who profess to believe the limitations imposed by the canal will operate to check the J warlike ambitions of all nations. Competition In naval construction haa been terrific in the last twenty years. The Oregon, regarded as a miraculous achievement when she was launched, was superseded by bigger and more powerful vessels. until now we have ths Constellation, nearly four times the size of prize craft of Spanish-American war days. This destructive competition in shipbuilding, which is Impoverishing many of nations, will go on, some officers believe, unless some check is interposed from the outside. In the capacity of the Panama Canal they profess to see such a cehck, and they believe the nations will welcome It. It would be possible, of course, to ■widen the Canal locks, but only at a tremendous expense of time, labor and money.

Booze Orgy Marks Prohi Anniversary NEW YORK. Jan. 17.—The first anniversary of prohibition was marked In New York by a miniature New Year’s eve orgy of drinking. Among the score of prisoners arraigned in Jefferson Market court on changes of drunkenness were three young women, who said they held responsible positions in the business world. Another was Frank Hays, who said he w3 a St. Louis broker. Hays told Magistrate Charles E. Simms that he had $2,500 in his possession. “All right,” replied the magistrate. ‘Til take $lO of it.” Austrian Rule Still Functioning Today VIENNA, Jan. 17.—The Austrian government still functioned today. Success in ending a strike of postal workers led to hope that bankruptcy would be staved off until the allied supreme council meets to determine what financial aid can be given the country. Postal workers returned to work to await definite settlement only after serious riots. , Library Notes New fiction at the Public Library this week includes: “Homespun and Gold,” ‘by Alice Brown; “Changing Winds," St. John Ervlne; "Hunger,” translated from the Norwegian, Knut Hamsun; "Dltte: Girl Alive,” M.

SUNNYSIDE Health Talks By Information Bureau of ths Sunnyslde Tubercular Sanitarium.

! The housewife should know certain es- ! sential things about milk. The Massachusetts State department of agriculture has recently presented to the housewives of Massachusetts a series of questions on milk, some of which are as follows: L IS MILK A FOOD? Tes, because It contains essential pre--1 tsins for building muscle, lime salts for | building bone and teeth, vltamlnes for promoting growth and fat, and sugar for i heat and energy. 2 DO OTHER FOODS CONTAIN j THESE? No other food contains all of these in ! like proportion. • 8. HOW DOES MILK COMPARE I WITH MEAT AND FISH AS REGARDS jCOST? | Milk provides the essential proteins I at a much lower cost. 4. WHY IS MILK NECESSARY FOR BONES AND TEETH? Eighty-five per cent of the mineral matter of bone consists of lime phosphate. Milk furnishes lime in abundance and It is needed especially by growing children and nursing mothers. 5. WHAT IS THE SPECIAL SUBSTANCE IN MILK THAT PROMOTES I GROWTH ? Science has proved that there Is a soI called vltamlne present In whole milk, ! cream and butter that Is essential to the I normal growth of the child. Animals fall to grow when this substance Is lacking In their diet. fl. HOW MUCH MILK SHOULD BE USED DAILY? A child needs one quart of whole milk I dally and an adult needs ons pint dally. 1 7. IF ONE CANNOT AFFORD MILK j WHAT OTHER FOODS CAN BE USED? i No other foods can take the place of ! milk. Economize elsewhere, but be sure Jto use milk at any cost. Milk Is an I economical food, an all-round food, a I necessity for all. SKYSCRAPER OF 80S IS DOOMED Chicago Board of Trade to Be Torn Down. CHICAGO, Jan. 17,—A famous Chicago landmark, the building which for thirtyfive years has housed the Board of Trade, is to be torn down. Structures of the architecture of Its generation have been dlaappeartng rapidly In the last ten years and giving place to modern skyscrapers, until now the old-fashioned gray Board of Trade remains alone. Back In the 80s this nine-story granite structure, with its high windows and its clock tower, was regarded as the last word In beauty and utility. Few visitors to Chicago left It from their sight- ; seeing Itinerary. Joseph P. Griffin, In bis recent Inaugural address as president of the board, referred to the building as "0 j disgrace to the greatest commercial or ganlzation In the world.” He announced that this year the board, which is the hub of the grain trade of the world, would be moved to temporary quarters, the old building torn down and anew twenty-one-story modern office building, including a trading floor for the board, erected. The new building was planned several years ago, but construction was deferred owing to the war.

ARMY INVADED BY KING JAZZ Desire for Saxophone Instruction Widespread. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. —The reign of King Jazz has begun to make itself felt even upon such a rugged and disciplined institution as the United States Army. This royal monarch is tunefully marching in the ranks of the military establishment, and. In his own way, Is adding to the sum total of recruits. This fact is evidenced by reports which come to Maj. Gen. P. C. Harris, the Adjutant General of the Army, from Band Leader Weber, head of the new School for Recrnlt Musicians at Columbus Barracks, Ohio. The latest report of Bandleader Weber contains not only the information that his school now has orer 100 pnplls but makes an urgent request for a number of additional instruments, of which the saxophone seems most to be desired. “Never before In my twenty years' experience as an Army band leader," toys Mr. Weber, “have I known the demand for instruction on the saxophone to be so widespread. 1 attribute this demand primarily to the desire on the part o f young men with musical aspirations to learn Jazz music. The men who come to me for instruction are recruits fresh from civil life. I do not care whether their musical education is limited tc the ability to whistle a tune. If they have an ear for music and a desire to learn. My school can handle twice the number of students It now has and I am willing to give any young man with proper qualifications an opportunity to enroll." W. M. Ford Will Be Buried at Princeton Funeral services for William M. Ford, C 2, who died at his home, 44 North Randolph street, Sunday, after an illness of a week from pneumonia, will be held at Princeton, Ind., tomorrow morning.
