ENORMOUS Cost Of Aig, speed,


The cost of extra knots of high
speed was elucidated by recent expert
ments with a new armored British
cruiser, Cape of Good Hope, of 14,100
tons. On her eight-hour trial she made
a mean speed of 23.05 knots. Her coal
expenditure for various speeds was
plotted with surprising results. To go
from 11.5 knots to 20 knots needed,
roughly, $4,000 additional horse power,
while the last knot alone absorbed
1921 horse power. That is to say, to
progress from % to 2S knots needed
as much power as the total required to
drive the ship at about 16 knots; or,
to put it in still another way, the
power needed to drive the Cape of
Good Hope at full speed would pro-
pei two similar vessels at about 10
knots The coal consumption at full
speed was, roughly, twenty-six tons
per hour; at 10 knots about II tons
per hour Again, at full speed the
ship would steam 0.S5 knot for each
ton of coal burned while at 10 knots
the distance would be double for a
similar consumption of fuel.

Woodbine. a colony Of Russian He

elected, and it now enjoys the distinc

world governed entirely by Jews. 1t
was formerly a part OF the township
of Dennis.
The colony had its beginning twelve
years ago when the Russian perse-

and when Hebrews in France and
England were doing all they could to

crosby of Baron de Hirsch.
He sent three men to Cape May
county in the spring of 1891 to buy
land and to establish there a refuge
and home for the sufferers who were
being brought to this country by the
boatload and dumped into New York's
already overcrowded Ghetto. They
got $500 acres, including all of Wood
pine proper, which at that time
consisted chiefly of three shanties, oc-
cupied by railroad employees.
They bought all this land, but none
of it had ever seen a plow and only
little was even half cleared. 1t was

scrub oak and stunted pine, swampy

almost the last place one would
choose for a home and certainly about
the last place an American farmer
would select.
The three men built cabins and did
what they could in the way of clearing
bits of the property. A year later
thirty immigrants came to the place.
None of them had any money, none
could speak much English and none
knew anything about farming.
They got aid from the De Hirsch
fund, slept in stables, suffered many
privations and worked hard. They
learned something about clearing and
blowing and planting from the men
who had come before them, and they
got little knowledge of American
business methods from contact with
merchants in the neighboring places.

FlickiDger was married few
months ago. When he returns from
the Office at night he has been accus-
toned to throw himself into a Morris
chair with a sigh of content and re-
mark as he looked about with appre-
ciatiye eyes upon the adornments of
his home:
"Ah. This is living. If only one
might write briefs, draw pleadings

mosphere what might not the legal
profession becomel"
Remarks of this sort set Mrs. Flick

Flicknger went east on a business

When Flickinger entered the Office
on his return he was somewhat sur

with which he was greeted. In the
main reception room, out of which
opened Flickinger's private Office, the
whole force had assembled, with an
