Newest United States Cruisers to Have Formidable Deck Protection

Washington.—The last of the ten eight-inch gun 10,000 ton Washington treaty cruisers to be built by the I'l.i’i■■!’ State* under the London treaty will have the most formidable armor deck protection ever built into a vessel of this type. These vessels will have an armor deck skin thick enough to stop the eight-inch gun projectile up to ranges of 25,000 yards. The sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth eight-inch gun cruisers of this class may have even greater deck protection than the seven building. One element in the navy now favors giving the vessel an extra deck armor thickness at the cost of speed. The navy high command, however, is fin-, derstood to favor retention ■of the present speed of better than 37- knots an hour. Every new batch of cruisers built of the eight-inch gun treaty type have been given greater deck rfnd side arB»r protection 'than their pmleiesF<>rs. Each batch also has been equip]' greater number of anti-aircraft weapons. The first vessels were designed for four five-inch gari anti-aircraft weapons. The nex/ group had eight Now the last ones to be bmit. ate to.be armed w'th hn i Bed number of anti-aircraft ittaj chine guns.

Berlin's Gang Chibs Have Soeial Caste

BerUit—Fresh ferment in the underworld of Berlin draw* the-alien’..<>u of law-abiding citizens to the romantic Sounding. yet menacing •‘lodges' and ’•gang clubs’’ of the city. More like Chinese tongs in their structure than anything else, yet resembling American gang syndicates Id their significance, and not. altogether unlike piain old-fashioned lodges, the Gern an un-1 rwrld' "tewiih" are by no mean's all of one sort. A social scale prevails, and the lines are pretty finely drawn. . In Berlin there may be honor among thieves, but there is also snobbery, social ••climbing." and snubbing. At the top of the scale are the regular “k'bmne" sereins, two of which, the ‘‘•lnnnertreu" (always true) and the “Hand in Hand" are probably the best known. When Immertreu, (or instance, has a celebration, an attendance of MOO can be counted in. No mere “tough guys." these —they wear “snakings." as Germans call a tuxedo, i’or the recent celebration of Immerieu's tenth anniversary, the manager fcf the lucky case figured on selling worth of liquor, (or the gangsters |ut for a big time do even their drinsvig in a big way. These gangsters are the ones who do the bettea grade work., such as safe cracking ata jewel robberies. Too . far beneath ieiu to be considered capable of givmg “satisfaction,” in a matter InvolvljL; the gangster's code of • honor and reAnge, are the “Kabenjungen" (raven hoys).

ness from the same old stand” over long stretches of time like the verein members- Also, the upper crust thinks that these members of the hoi polo! have black characters, dark and dismal as can be. because they don't abide by the code. The raven laddies account for such things as auto robberies, show window thefts. purse snatching, pickpocketing/ and such small fry activities, just what gives the Berlin police police the most trouble. | The “ravens" are also organized, but in a rough-and-ready sort of way, into “cliques." simply for the purpose of furthering their “business" activities by co-operative marketing of their loot through fences. They are mostly young fellows, but many a one from among their number ha* In tho past managed to graduate Into the upper crust of the verein groups, and they are eager to- get on in their world. The ambitious raven looks forward to a time when he will have wormed his way into a “kolonne." There he will have to start at the bottom, of course, posted as a watch while some old-fashioned safe is being “persuaded,” or acting as chauffeur for driving the collected boodle to the mer- > chant who looks after such details of the “kolonne's" activities. But what- > ever it is. he is a made man and he won’t look at his old raven buddies. Not Easily Acquired Real knowledge, like everything else of the highest value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for. thought for—and more than all, it must be prayed for—Thomas Arnold.

total lost tonnage for the eight vessels is 7.100 tons. Thjs unused tonnage could have been used up in armor protection had not designers made the weight safetv factor too high. . . In designing the new ships bonuses were offered those builders who saved tonnage. Electric welding was employed to a hitherto unknown degree. Lightweight metals and aluminum were used where possible. A high safety factor was used because of fear , that the finished vessels might be over the 10.000 ton displacement permitted by the London naval treaty. Figures discovered today place the tonnage of these 10.000-ton class vessels at slightly more than 9.000 tons. Their displacement Is is follows : Chester. 9.200; Houston. 9.060; Northampton. 9.050; Pensacola. 9,1(X»; Salt Lake City. |ft,loo; Chicago. 9.300; LoulS-Ville, 9.050.'and Augusta. 9.050. ' All of these vessels could have been 10,000 tons displacement. The lost tonnage cannot be built into eight-inch gun cruisers, as the United States is limited to IS. Whether it can be transferred to six-inch gun cruiser tonnage is a moot question.

Yaqui Indians in U. S. \\ ould Return Home

Phoenix., Ariz. —Arizona may lose one of its most colorful Indian ceremonies if exiles of the Yaqui Indian tribe of southern Sonora. Mexico, suewinning amnesty from the Mexican government for revolutionary activities. Likewise, the United States may lose the only Indian tribe whose members In this country are officially classed as aliens. The Yaquis of Arizona are homesick, poverty-stricki-n and tired of fighting for a livelihood In a highly competitive labor market. They want to go back to their native land.

The Easter ceremony, during which the closing phase of the life of Jesus .is pantomimed in detail, attracts thousands of tourists each year at the two Yaqui villages—one near Tucson and the other near Phoenix. About 1,500 Yaqui Indians are in Arizona. Representative Lewis AV.

Thus the Arizona unit of the tribe, ’ despite its isolation, has remained Yaqui in spirit and tradition.

Organization in Move for Better Business The Better Business bureau is an agency semipublic in character that aims to protect the public against merchants who make false or misleading statements in their advertising and against the promoters and sellers of fake\ stocks and other alleged securities This which is a unit only in the common purpose and- methods <Jf operations, is composed of the National Better Business bureau and local bureaus in som* 40-odd cities. Each local bureau is a distinct entity supported by and owing allegiance to only its own community, and it is not a member of or subsidiary to the National Better Business bureau. The bureaus are financed by merchants, manufacturers and other financial interests. Their activities are furthered immeasurably by the co-oper-ation of newspapers and monthly publications.

He is, he protests In the American Magazine, merely a “salesman , of speed.” Why ; does he seek to ! sell speed? Because he is convinced that the main advance made by presi ent-day civilization lies in the accelI eration with which tilings can be transferred from one place to another.
