It appears that the tendency III the
British and the United States navies is
TO reduce the number Of guns and to- in
crease their arcs of fire and also to have
no guns above inch calibcr for sup
porting the l2 or l3 inch. This method
of decreasing the number and caliber Of
guns is an ideal theory for reducing
weights, but ships are built to carry
guns and 10 fight, and it would seem
better to reduce weights elsewhere than
in the battery and ammunition.

charities. will be held at Kankekee
Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 16-

in nearly all the larger states, and are
very effective in the development and
education of public sentiment in the
direction of improved methods of car
ing for the unfortunate and poor.
The question TO be discussed, namely.
the children of the state, is one
which viii in all probability come be-
fore the next general assembly for its
determination. No public provision
is made in the state of Illinois for the
care of destitute, dependent and
abandoned children. except in the
county poorhouses. All expert testi-
mony is to the effect that the county
poorhouse is the worst place to which
4 child can be sent, and in many
states the retention of children in
poorhouses is forbidden by law. All
public and private charitable insti-
tutions and all charitable boards and
societies are asked TO send delegates,
and every person in charitable or cor
rectional work viii be welcome and
