So intense was the storm that NJ o
O'Clock Saturday night the several tbou-
sand employees working in the machine
shops had to be sent home. The wind
so seriously affected the electric light
Ing plant that no current could he
obtained, and the entire yard was pl,ne-
ed in darkness. The torrents Of rain
beat under the sashes of the windows
throuSh the skyhshts. and through sew
eral pane!ess windows which had been
blown out by the wind. The main c1ln
shop was thTeatSned with 4 hcod and
the entire force was dismissed. the com
nandant and inspectors deeming it i'm
prudent and next TO impossible to con-
tlnue work longer.
Wireless Mast Snaps.
One OF the heaviest losses at the ward
was the partial destruction of tho wire
less telegraph mast, installed less than
four months ago at a cost of s., 600. A
section of thirty feet was torn from
the ton Of the mast and hurled a dis
tancc Of 10C feet. Ten onc-inch guy
ropes used to hold the mast in position
and strengthen It were twisted aslInder
and portions carried away with the
wrecked mast. Those who saw the ac-
cidcnt from the windows of the Gunshop
say that the huge 1S6 foot pole swayed
In the wind like a willow, and the break
came only when sudden gust struck
the pole and ripped of the top section
The big ropes were OF little avail; they
snapped like cords and went sailing
away with the portion Of the mast IN
the direction Of the Sunshops.
The wireless station was erected about
four months ago at the yard and since
that time has been in constant use nv
the War and Navy Departments When
the mast was first erected II was placed
south OF the commandments office but
later was removed 10 the place of its
recent occupancy about fifty yards from
the river bank and southwest of the
main gun shop. The huge mast was
planted in a cement foundation ten feet
below the surface. II is believed that
the repairing Of the damage to the mast
may be accomplished without the reset
ting Of the mast in the cement
The mast was built in two sections and
II IS believed that the top section can he
sphced 10 the other without the re-
moVal OF the huge stick from the base
Inc portion Of the mast which was torn
away by the storm was ten inches thick
at the point IF separation from the re-
mdlnder Of the pole.

They do not know that the feet are the

"Oh. deari" cried A pretty maid. on
some pleasure jaunt intent the other

The damsel clasped her gloved arm
despairingly and looked at her escort
with huch tragedy in her lovely eyes
that the young man offered 20 get off

"Oh, will you?" chirupped the girl.

Hoo 10 CHt Glass

Glass can be cut without a diamond.
and the way is very simple.
Dip a piece of common string in alco-
hol and squeeze It reasonably dry. Then
tie the string tightly around the glass
on the line of cutting.
Touch a match 10 the string and let
il burn of The heat of the burning
string viii weaken the glass in this par
ticular line OF cutting.
While 1t Is hot plunge the glass under
water. letting the arm so under well 20

when the glass is struck.
with the free hand strike the glass
outside the line of cutting, giving 8
quick, sharp stroke with any long nat
instrument, such az q stick of wood or
a IonZ-bladed knife, and the cut will be
as clean and straight as II made by a
regular glass cutter. Large bottles can
thus ne readily utilized for jelly glasses.

HINTS FOR WOMEN

A woman who has Travelled IN India
suggests that one of the daintiest ways
| of keeping n room cool in summer is by
hanging curtains of an Eastern grass
which is now procurable here in the
windows. These curtains are drenched
| in water. The air passing through tho
moist grass is not only cooled. but also
slightly perfu.ned with an Oriental odor
which is peculiarly refreshing.
The following is a good hint for tying
tshoelaces so that they shall not come
loose: Proceed in exactly the same way
as II you were tying an ordinary bow,
but pass the Yight-hand loop through
| the knot before drawing IL up, and give
a steady pull on both loops. It should
be remembered, however. when untying
that the right-hand string must be
pulled, for II the other is pulled II Will
/ only tighten the knot
