Shells From Texas Sink the Washington

WASHINGTON.— Admiral K. W. Eberle, chief of naval operations, received a radiogram from the battleship Texas stating that the superdreadnaught Washington, which the firepower naval treaty required to be scrapped, had finally been sunk near the southern drill grounds off the Virginia capes by gunfire. It was the Texas that trained its 14-lnch guns on the Washington and sent it below the waves to keep company with the former German dreadnaught Ostfriesland and other German vessels sunk several years ago in the same vicinity by airplane bombers. “We are glad to have important information of a technical and scientific nature,'* Admiral Eberle said. “These tests began on a Thursday. On Thursday and Friday charges representing bombs and torpedoes were exploded around the hull. “Some of the charges exploded were in the shape of 2,000 pound airplane bombs. They were not dropped from

ZR-3, Renamed, Is Now a Good American

a MERICANIZATION of the /\ giant dirigible ZR-3—the last £ of the historic line of German dirigible seppelins—has been completed in asetting symbolical of the peaceful ways she is to follow. The glistening flyer was taken to Washington from Lakehurst. She arrived over the city at 12 :50 p. m. and before descending for the christening circled gracefully above the White House, the capitol and the towering Washington monument. All the high officials of the government and many envoys from other lands gathered at Bolling field for the ceremony. Navy officers watched her performance with the greater Interest because it was her first trial on this side of the Atlantic. her first venture in the hands of American naval men and the first time she had taken the air using helium instead of hydrogen In her inflation tanks, thus doing away with risk of explosion. Escorted by the President, Mrs. Coolidge mounted, the steps to the platform. where she stood amid masses of flowetn that nimble sailors had already lifted^into position. BAlow her stood 300 other sailors clinging fast to the tugging mooring ropes of the airship.

U. S, Remount Service Produces Results

Notwithstanding the enormous use of motor transportation In modern armies, the horse is still an important factor in army organization; and as long as the army exists there will be a demand for suitable mounts for the cavalry. The army require* « f* st riding animal possessing endurance and Intelligence and with a great weight-carry-ing capacity. The World war uncovered our shortage. In his report to his government. General Bate, head of the British remount commission in the United States, said: “Riding horses of proper conformation and type do not exist In the United States, and the best that can.be obtained is a poor substitute for the riding horse.” The War department, on May 17, 1919, aiyminted the remount board. The remount service, which is an Integral part of the great supply system of the army, was charged not only with the purchasing . and issuing of animals for use by the various branches of the army, but in addition with the vitally important task of improving the type and breeding of the light horses of the nation.

The Capital Much Worried Over Rents

WASHINGTON has been experimenting for five years to see whether or not the law of supply and demand shall be the sole control In determining rents. A commission, created by congress and endowed with uncommon powers, has endeavored to have a say in the question. • Out of the commission’s activities has come the question, of interest to the whole country, whether housing to not a . public necessity, to be regulated as railroad rates and the price of gas are regulated. The District Court of Appeals has held that the wartime emergency exists no longer and that, consequently, the rents fixed by the commission need no longer prevail. If this decision stands ail rent control to removed in Washington. and the landlord may hereafter be restrained only by hte conscience or the pocketbook limitations of available tenants. An appeal from the decision will be made to the United States Supreme court. Tenants, particularly thorns In mod-

Colorado Has Its Own Mammoth Cave

THROUGH an executive order tosued by President Coolidge 320 acres of 'the public domain in Park county, Colorado, was temporarily withdrawn from homestead entry and settlement as a result of the discovery of • natural cave within the area. Secretary df the Interior Weeks an nounced that an examination would be made of the cave to determine whether it has sufficient scenic value to ba reserved as a national monument or as a national recreational area. ■■ ■ The cave, according to Ralph W. Kelley, chief of the field division of the general land office in Denver, contains forty rooms, each of them about 100 feet long and from Ifi to 30 fert high. It was discovered by a party of miners drilling a croaucut tunnel into Cave mountain. -........

planes, but were placed in the watfr. “Other charges representing the latest types of modern torpedoes, exploded In simulation of a torpedo attack. The Washington's hull withstood these attacks, and although she was leaking and In a rough sea. she was still safely afloat. "The next stage of the tests came on Sunday, when two plknes dropped armor piercing bombs on the decks. “There was no gun firing against the Washington untir the following Tuesday, when the first stage of the gun firing tests began. Fourteen-lnch shells were used. “We are the only nation scrapping a ship as modern as the Washington under the treaty, and It is natural that, inasmuch as we are now the only nation that has had the benefit of such experiment, that we keep the actual results of the tests in their in timate details a secret." America still has three sister ships of the Washington—the Maryland. Colorado and West Virginia.

In her ringing contralto voice came then the words—“l christen thee Los Angeles.” As If In answer to the Spanish words meaning “the angels” there was a fluttering of wings and clouds of carrier pigeons, released by the cords Mrs. Coolidge had pulled when she spoke, swung away from the tremendous craft which had been brought down to her* as the ZR-3 and now was to go back to the skies aa the Los Angeles. To the skies and to mankind the pigeons carried a mesage written on tiny bits of tissue attached to their legs. St. Luke wrote It 19 centuries ago. and it makes the thirteenth and fourteenth verses of the second chapter of his gospel. Thus It reads: “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host prasing God and saying, “Glory to God In the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Then the navy band, which was down on the autumnal brown carpet, swung Into “The Star Spangled Banner” and President and cabinet officers and admirals and diplomats stood at rigid attention while evening closed In. The music died away and from distant batteries came the thud of thd national salute.

Through the remount service a comprehensive breeding program was Inaugurated. In the first year 159 stallions were placed at the disposal of farmers and breeders of the nation. This number was Increased from year to year. Mares to the number of 8.000 were bred to 259 stallions tn the season of 1923. with a get of at least 3.200. April 30. 1924, the remount service had on hand 352 stallions, as follows: Thoroughbreds. 287; Arabian, 26; Morgan. 26; standard-bred, 7; saddle-bred. 5; Hackney, 1. These animals were located In breed ng centers throughout 40 states of the Union. If the remount breeding operations are continued without interruption there will be a considerable number of excellent half-bred horses In the country, entirely suitable for military requirements or commercial use. which, when placed upon the market, will command exceedingly good prices and will do much to meet the growing demand for horses on the farms and ranches, for hunters and for polo ponies. At least two famous race horses have been sired by remonut stallions— Sally’s Alley, by AUutueur, and Wise Counselor, by Mentor.

est quarters, the scarcest sort of dwelling in Washington, are facing evictions. They have asked permission of the President to pitch tents in public parks, and this permission has been denied. One mother has threatened. if she is evicted in defiance of the rent commission’s ruling, to take her babies and sit on the White House steps until the Chief Executive finds her a place to live. ’ Ever since the early days of the war the demand for quarters In Washington has been much greater than the, supply. Real estate has skyrocketed and buUding has been frantically active. Washington has been like a boom town in bonanza days of the Wert to the real estate operator. The Wallingfords descended upon Washington. There were even buildings mortgaged for twice or three tlmea their cost to build. , , . Those bouses that the commission has held down to 340 or >SO a month have takers standing In line waiting for them at twice as much rent.

The eave is already known to tourists, Kelley said, and during the part season was visited by hundreds of persons from all over the country. Owing to the fact that it is not at present near any railread, its beauties are afforded added piquancy. The traveler wbd to in search of out-of-the-way places of Interest to particularly attracted to this cave, Kelley The forty rooms make a labyrinth which to somewhat difficult of access. A neighboring rancher guides visitors. The drip of moisture from the thousands of stalactites impinkmed on the ceiling of the cave has, through countless centuries of action, caused the formation of beautiful stalagmites on the floor of the cavern.

Let Local Pride Find Expression at Home Local pride is based on affection for the place in which you live and Is almost as natural a sentiment as family pride, says the Youth’s Companion. Like family pride. It may be useful and stimulating, or it may be futile and* deadening. A proper I<9cal pride manifests itself in study of the history of the community and its founders, in a desire for a thorough knowledge of the institutions, industries and people of the community, and in acquiring familiarity not only with the topography gnd the external aspects of the place but also with its spirit. Anyone whose local pride is strong enough to impel him to such study will become imbued with an ambition to contribute to the improvement of the community; lie will be in his turn one of the makers of its history. , Local pride that finds Its expression | at home is an admirable trait. There I Is, however, a kind of local pride that is frequently exhibited only by people who are away from home, and that is not to be commended. It is usually a mark of narrowness and prejudice. A man need not sacrifice or abate his love of home in order to recognise the j superior claims to general interest that some other place offers. Provincialism, as local pride is likely to be called when It expresses itself away from home, is usually bumptious, hypercritical and petty. It retards the mental growth of the man who suffers from It, for he is seldom one who at home shows any local pride of a constructive character. j Better Homes Make for Better Living The Better Homes exposition, which has made the public hall once' more the special center of attraction and interest in Cle*el(gpd might well be called a “Better LJving" show. The home is so much the heart and soul of life that the sum of existence, for the average man or woman, is <, very nearly the measure of success or failure in homemaking. If the home/s happy the world usually looks bright and well worth while. If the home is not cheerful and comfortable life is heavily handicapped. This is so true and the truth is so vital to the state, the whole nation, that whatever tends to build up and guard, beautify and. make moire attractive, the homes of a great city or of any large community, is of special importance to the public, near and far. What one city does in that field may well prove the source of similar gains for contentment and happiness in many other plaoßS.—Cleveland News-Leader. Kansas City's Example The greatest Incentive jto eiric beauty is the thing that! inspires worthy emulation. Kansas City's residential development has grown from i small beginnings deliberately planned ! by individuals to promote public interest, to show by example wfiat could , be done with the small lot or the pre- ! tentious homesite, to demonstrate that 1 beauty may be attained by little additional expense and that whatever the | additional cost, it is the best part of i the investment I And thus it has come to pass that [ Kansas City has made a reputation, tn i a comparatively few years, for the ; beauty of its homes and their sur- | roundings. Its example has influenced many other cities. But the greatest i force of that exaifiple is right here at | home.—Kansas City Star. — | Serves Double Purpose In European countries, where forestry is an established department'of [ government. It is a uniform rule that no tree can be cut down unless another one is planted to take its place. That prevents forest depletion, but it does not create new forests. America must repair its prodigious timber wastage of the Tast balf century, besides creating vast areas of timber lands as a counterfoil to nature's own wartage for centuries. There is jao better method of spreading the ti-ee-planting habit, in farming communities, than in bordering all state highways with trees. Jta/et for Shrub Planting There* is a great wealth of shrubbery, both native and imported, from which growers may select Be careful to select shrubs hardy for the locality. For this reason shrubs native to the section are usually planted wljh less risk. Both evergreen and deciduous shrubs should be used and grouped In such a. manner as to make the grounds appear well occupied throughout the year. Beady for Visitors In the olden days a town was judged by the view from the railroad train. Today the approach to the city on the highways gives the first and usually a lasting impression to the tourist. Special attention should be given the approaches to the city on all main highways with prospects of thousands of tourists visiting northern Minnesota.
