MARTIN INVENTS AN JGEHIOUS DEVICE "Enables Members of Command to Receive Knowl edge of Maneuvers.

(National News Association) NEW YORK. April 11. Through an Ingenious device, invented by Commander Kingsley L. Martin, of the second battalion, naval militia, of New York, and put into operation thrr-o weeks ago, the members of the command are enabled to receive a general working knowledge of navigation and maneuvers of battleships, as well as of "battleship equipment, within the armory. On the floor of the armory of the battalion, at the foot of 42d street, Brooklyn, has been "launched" a division of four miniature dreadnaughts, 24 feet in length, with a beam of five feet six inches. The models are outwardly complete In every detail and are operated over the floor after the manner of vessels at sea. The crew of each of these miniature war crafts consists of three men, two "engineers" and a navigator. The sensations of operating a vessel at sea are experienced by these men. The orders of the navigator are conveyed to the engineers by way of the engine room telegraph and, with the armory in complete darkness, the miniature division "steams" over the floor and performs various evolutions, even as greater vessels afloat, by the light of their own searchlights and the regulation side lights. Idea Is Not New. The idea, although original with Commander Martin, of having vessels "afloat" on the armory floor, is not new. A year ago four steam launches similar In model to those in use in the navy, were constructed under the direction of the chief gunner's mate, William H. Free, and the armory staff, from plans prepared by Commander Martin. These were placed in operation to give to the 450 members of the command proper instruction and training in the "rules of the road" in the winter months, when drill was only possible for the naval militia within the armory. The launches proved to be a great success and the men were taught the proper mode of action in the event of vessels meeting at sea, and the direction to.be taken with the particular craft of which they had control. The whole thing worked so well that the commander conceived the idea that a wider field of instructions was possible along similar lines, and orders were given to the "ship building crew, which is composed of the Chief Gunner's Mate Free and those members of the battalion attached to the armory staff, to build four "battleships" with engine room and wheel house accommodations similar to that aboard ,'lhe launches. Complete External Models. Instead of constructing entirely new models, however, the superstructures of the launches, which were movable, 'were taken oit and hoods, In the form ot complete external models of battleI ships were constructed to fit over the 'hulls and mechanism of the launches. i"The result is remarkable in the ex'treme to spectators not acquainted 'with the method of propulsion and navigation of the miniature war craft. To all appearance the four vessels Win the floor" of the armory are battleships complete in every detail, with -decks cleared for action and guns i bristling from the fore and aft turrets and port and starboard gun ports. All that is necessary to lend spectacular completeness to the scene are the 'waves on the armory floor and the remoke from the smoke stacks. When at night every light is put out in the armory the place is plunged Unto darkness, except from the flickering lights from the miniature fighting craft. With the red lights at the masthead signifying that the "en;ginps" are motionless, the yard signals begin to flicker and the red masthead light flickers out and is supplanted by a white light on the various fSEE IF YOUR CHILD'S TONGUE IS COATED SJf Cross, Irritable and Feverish it Means WasteClogged Bowels.

Mow News is Out of

BY SIDNEY ESPEY. WASHINGTON, April 11. These be lean days for the press associations at Washington, which sent dispatches concerning actualities. But it is the open season for the dopester. When Congress is in session bills are passed in the chambers of the greatest deliberative bodies In the world. These constitute tangible news . Columns may be written with ease w here the writer is a victim of the old adage that every man is eloquent on the subject he knows. But when Congress is not in session no one seems to know anything. "What do you know?" is as common a greeting in the Congressional press galleries as it is on the Bowery in NewYork, Canal street in New Orleans, or Main street in Ishpeming, Mich. Nearly everybody in the United States has an idea that nothing happens in Washington except that which is closely connected with the government. When Senator Knute Nelson, known in this country as Nelse Knutson, was first a candidate for Congress, his Swede campaign manager passed the word around that if the people would vote for Nelse he would go down to Washington and run the government like a top. But any small boy will tell you that even a top runs down occasionally. The government top seems now to have run down. Oscar Birmingham Underwood and a select company of the majority in the House has been engaged in winding the string around the toy again and today it was hurled down on the sidewalk and set spinning once more. But the winding process is rather dull. A whole lot of "freshmen" Congressmen stood around in a circle watching Mr. Underwood wind up the top. They were eagle-eyed and were watching closely to see that the string did not get snarled or twisted in such a way as to tangle when the cast was made. A few Republicans were doing their best to step on the string or cut the end of it off short but Underwood was vigilant and it looks as though the top, labelled tariff this time, is humming in tune. There is a time-honored institution which the smallest newspaper office includes among its possession towit, a "morgue." This is not the sort of morgue that the police departments of the large cities supervise, the place to which people go after big fires to look for familiar bits of lace and jewelry among the shapes that once were men and women. But it is similar. A "morgue" in a newspaper office is not a resting place for dead men but for dead news. When anything happens in the world or in the newspapers, a clipping, telling all about it, is placed in the morgue. The news Is dead for the present, perhaps, but may become useful during the lean years which come to everything. Supposing Malachi Papadopoulous murders George What-you-may-call-him. vessels, showing that they are under way.

The story is saved and filed away in the "morgue." Threo years later, the culprit, who' got off on a plea of egotistical instability, or a writ of allicum greekum, robs the .safe of the Sweet Evening Breeze Pleasure club When the story comes Inio the newspaper office, the editor consul? the "morgue," and yards of clipipngs about the previous job are reprinted. This has nothing to do with the Congress or the tariff, except to illustrate how the process works. Congress and the police had never heard of each other until the investigation into the design of Mayor Richard Sylvester's badge following the votes for women parade in Washington on March 3, proved that there was a difference of opinion as to whether Chief of Police Sylvester and his men performed their duty or failed in such performance. But when dull days come during the recess of Congress the newspaper men dig around in their morgues and haul out old interviews with various j members as to how the tariff situation I is looking. These are reprinted with gusto and new date lines. Forecasts ! as to what the majority in the new House was to have been are pulled out land compared with Hannibal Hamlin's J forecast of how great Douglas's maj jority over Lincoln would be. I The open season in the morgue projvides rare sport. Posses arc sent i through the files ranging about like blood-hounds. When they get the scent of a story they set up a baying j which would make any Uncl Tom's Cabin manager jealous. They seek I through the musty morgues, sniffing about for something available in the way of news. And when they bag something that looks good they go out and look us some member of Congress and compare notes. It must not be thought that sharp practices have -a place in these sprightly activities. On the contrary, it is all valuable work. There are many college professors, who after long service in the class rooms are graduated to just such work as this. Some of the higher class magazines have staffs of graveyard watchers whose sole duty is to hover over new made graves while they reel off columns on "My Memories or Senator Jagg," or something kindred, just as soon as the subject is released, all high class work, written in a grave, dignified manner. The active newspaper man has not time for such screeds, except during the recess of Congress. It is in that season, such as now. when the old Saxon goddess, Eastre, is regnant in the seat of the Congress, that memories of former tariffs, battleship programs or public building bills and stories of what will happen if Buckroe county, Idaho, goes Republican are written, based on the; deep, dark, longforgotten secrets which slumber in the files of the morgues. etc. J.

Every Home Needs This Fine Remedy

A Mild, Reliable Laxativetonic is Something No Family Should be Without. No well-regulated home should be without a laxative for there is scarcely a day in a family of several persons that someone doesn't complain of a headache, of sleeplessness, or show the first signs of a cold. A laxative then becomes a necessity or what was a trifling congestion at the beginning may run into a serious cold or fever. No harsh remedy is needed, but simply a mild laxativetonic that will make the liver active and stir up the bowels. People who have tried a great many things, and are themselves heads of families who have seen the little ills run to big ones, will tell you that there is nothing better than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which you can obtain at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, the latter being the family size. Among the great believers in Syrup Pepsin for constipation in old or young, and as a general household emergency remedy is Mrs. J. W. Anderson, Osawatomie, Kans. who writes after using one sample bottle and two dollar bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin: "On the plea of the duty that every one owes to fellow sufferers, I appeal to all such who are bowed in spirit, broken in health and discourag. j ed with life, not to give up until they have given Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a fair trial." Symp Pepsin is scientifically compounded and its purity is Touched for. Mothers gtr

TYRUS COBB BEATS 11 COLLEGE PLAYER Latter Says Three Men Held Him on Floor While Kicks Came His Way.

(Natfonal News Association) SPARTANBURG, S. C, April 11. Ty Cobb, the famous baseball player, and Rut ledge Osborne, second baseman of the Wofford College team of thin city, settled a difference with their fists in the room of a hotel at Greenville. Osborne, a little fellow, received the worst of it, but declared that three men held him on the floor while Cobb gave him a beating. The trouble began last Saturday, when Cobb's team of barnstormers played Wofford here. As Cobb was pitching Osborne, who was coaching on the third base line, said something at which Cobb took offense. Angry words were exchanged and fisteuffe were narrowly averted. Cobb's team and Wofford both were playing at Greenville yesterday. Cobb and Osborne met at a hotel and renewed the quarrel. Osborne taunted Cobb, who made a pass at him. According to one report, Osborne drew a pistol and Cobb took it from him. This is denied by Osborne. The two retired to a room. Osborne says he va3 told that Cobb intended to apologize, but that when they entered the room Cobb, reinforced by three members of his team, de roanded instead that Osborne apologize. He refused and they went at it. "They got me down on the floor," said Osborne, "and kicked me. Then Cobb later came to me and offered an apology, but I refused to accept It. That is all there was to it." 4 STREET STORIES She was running across lots to catch the train for Richmond. She had about a minute in which to perform the feat and the train was already pulling into the station. At her heels was a youngster making as good time as he could and he was crying. By the time. she had reached the station steps she was a good hundred yards ahead of the little boy, but he kept at it, crying louder and louder. The conductor was holding the train for her. "Madam," said the conductor as she climbed up the car steps, "who is that little boy?" "My youngest," she said, perfectly breathless. "What is he crying for?" "I didn't have time to kiss him goodbye." "Well, you get right off this train and kiss him. We can wait better than he can." The conductor stood with his hand on the signal cord while the operation was performed, and then the train went off, leaving the youngster happy and smiling. PUBLIC UTILITIES The Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, controlled by the United Gas Improvement Company, will spend $750,000 this year on a new generating plant to be erected at East Chicago, Indiana. Work has been going on since December. The new plant is to be situated at the junction of the Calumet river and the Chicago Drainage Canal. It is designed for a capacity of 40,000 horse power, but it is planned that two units of 6,250 horse-power each will be working by May 1. Transmisison lines will be erected to distribute the power from the new station. According to advlcet it is said that the business of the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company increased 60 per cent in the last year and1 that the establishment of the new power house is necessary to take care of the increased demand. MRS. J. W. ANDERSON. it to tiny babies, and grown people, taking a little larger amount, find it equally effective. It is mild and gen tle, pleasant-tasting and free from griping. It does not hide behind a high sounding came and is absolutely free from any prohibited ingredient. Families who once use Syrup Pepsin forever after avoid cathartics, salts, pills, and other harsh medicines, for these only do temporary good, are nauseous and a shock to any delicate system. Such things should never be given to children. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your address a postal will do to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 7 Washington St Monticello. 111., and a free sample bottle will be mailed

When good roads are built much local heavy traffic, which has previously gone by other routes, is diverted to them, probably doubling the amount of load travel originating in the vicinity which passed over the road before its I improvement. The good road easily doubles the distance that a horse or team aril buggy can travel in a day. This fact brings into existence a larger amount of this class of travel, estimated at fifty per cent, more, and by reason of the greater distance which may b covered, and the overlapping travel 'rom other localities, this class of traffic may easily be multiplied bythree. The development of the automobile multiplies by ten, according to the most reliable estimates, the radius of a day's travel. With an automobile a business or professional man at the county seat or other point can visit oractically every part of the county in a day, and be home before supper time.

mated that the motor car travel of all kinds is multiplied approximately by ten. Doubling the heavy traffic, trebling the light horse traffic, and multiplying the motor traffic by ten, places fifteen vehicles on the good road w here there was but one before the improvement was made. And this is an underestiormous increase intravel is one of the wonders of the age in hich we live. And this enhanced travel is an important factor iu the development of local markets. State control of road construction is made necessary by a number of different reasons, each imoortant in itself, as has been demonstrated by the experience of states where state aid has long been the rule. Among these are. that the roads in various counties when built shall form continuous routes; that the construction shall be as nearly uniform as the nature of available materials will permit: that the location, drainage, material and every other factor involved In the construction shall be under the charge of competent engineers; that the contracts be let to competent and responsible contractors, who can be held to a strict accountability; and that the road funds, state, county and township, be properly expended and aci counted for, so that every dollar shall road.

has been demonstrated repeatedly that the exercise of authority by the state is necessary In the interests of economy and excellence In construction, and that the roads in the different counties shall so connect as to make through highways between important points. State aid in read building, therefore, requires that the state have & highway department, provided with highway engineers of established reputation and admitted ability, that the roads construction may be equal to the strain of constantly growing traffic.
