keep the men at the navy yards busy
for weeks.
Some of the commanders recon-
mended alterations in their ships, as
the last target practice demonstrated
that the decks and other structural
parts Of the ships were not always
able to stand the vibration caused by
the heavy guns, and it was thought
advisable TO strengthen these weak
nesses, so as to make them more sta
Bile in the future. Realizing, however,
that this might take considerable fine,
Secretary Metcalf ruled that no alter
atoms be authorized, so that the men
ut the navy yards could direct their
attention to the most necessary work.
Minor repairs made necessary by
target practice off Cape Cod have been
coming in thick and fast to the DEPART
ment since the ships have returned
from the practice grounds. For this
reason, probably. the Navy Depart
ment today ruled that every available
means be used TO get the work
through, and that the commandants of
the navy yards be notified to suspend
work which may in any way retard
progress. Today the Missouri, New
Jersey, Rhode Island and Georgia, re.
turning from Cape Cod, have had adj
ditional repairs authorized.
Secretary Metcalf today snid that
the shaking up of the battleships caus-
ed by firing heavy charges was ex-
pected. This also is the statement
recently given out by the bureau of
construction and; reoai;. The opinian
lis not unanimously shared by naval
Officers. some of whom argue that
ships of the navy should be so con-
structed as not to show structural de-
fects after each firing of the guns.

Gas has been turned on ia Vinita

The lights furnished by the gas peo-
pie are so far ahead of those furnished
to date by the electric light company
that In short time, unless the cleo
trio light people better their service,
they will lose many customers The !
electric light people will probably do
this, however. Now that there is
competition they win have togive the

people prefer electricity to gas, be-
