USED As TRAILER

WASHINGTON, April 25.--A new
Pacific coast fleet, second in power
and Importance only to Evans great
hattleship fleet now on the Pacific
coast, is being assembled and placed
in shape for a long cruise. This was
announced at the Navy Department
today. The bureau of navigation and
the navy chiefs are silent as to the
object of the cruise but it was learned
from an authoritative source that the
Pacific fleet will trail the Evans
feet. When the feet sheers of from
Honolulu for Australia the new Pa
cific feet will be only three weeks
behind it, and will continue in a
direct line to Manila and rendezvous
there.
The movement. according to one OF
the bureau oficials, will cause con-
siderable comment when 1t becomes
generally known and will yield in in
terest only to the accomplished pro-
ject of sending the Evans fleet into
the Pacific. If the movement takes
place as scheduled the ships which
will constitute the Pacific feet will
be the battleship Oregon, armored
cruisers Tennessee. Washington, Col
orado. Maryland. West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, California, South Da-
kota. and the protected cruisers St.
Louis. Milwaukee and Charleston.

one of the greatest truths which study
and experience have ever suggested
10 the successful cultivators of the art
OF singing. Too much can not be said
against the abominable tremoIo which
so many would-be singers and teach
ers seem to have mistaken for vibra-
ton. That disagreeable, nerve-rack-
ing rafting OF the voice is indicative
OF weakness of the nerves of the
throat, a lack of control and in most
cases is the result of forcing the voice.
NO one can sing correctly with head
tnrown back and mouth turned
heaVenward- This is a bowling posi-
ton. as a certain singer says. This
is the position to throw bombsheIIs
INTO the moon, the mouth serving for
the opening of the mortar Yet the
uncultlvated ear will often marvel at
such powerful tones and it is in this
very way that so many succeed in
working their grand bluff.

course there is singing that keep some
people away, not only because of dis
cordant sounds. but because of the
olscordant heart and spirit back of the
voice. The minister who would pray
SIMPLY to listen to his own eloquence
would be no more of a hypocrite than
the singer who sings Gods praise and
the Deautitul responsive prayers mere
ly to make display of talent and Gull
tlvation- Singers should be endowed
with the right spirit and sing from the
heart, If church worship would be sa-
cred and holy; and I believe when
every one has a perfect knowledge of
the real relation of the singer to the
church, the church will be prompted
by the same principles and discretion
in selecting the singers as in choosing
a minister The singer will tune the
heart as well as the voice to sing his
praise, and choirs-to sing the Gospel

church worship as ministers-to

Marshall Bros. has secured the agen-
cy of the DR.. Mott preparations for the
hair. DR.. Mott, who spent the most of
his life as a practicing physician in the
city Of New York. gave all of his spare
moments to the study of the hair and
scalp. In our opinion he probably knew
more about the hair and scalp and the
pathology Of badness than any man
before or since his time. The problems
OF restoring color to gray hair, arrest
Ing falling hair. the cure of dandruff,
diseases Of the scalp. the prevention of
premature badness. etc, were ones
that he attacked with all the fire and
fervor Of youth, equipped as well with
profound scientific knowledge of the
subject. He left to posterity an IN
failing means OF restoring to gray hair
color, and the means of arresting alb
solutely premature badness. and in
many cases OF badness restoring the
hair, although he has left among his
papers a statement that hereditary
badness is not disease. therefore not
durable. but that contributory badness,
or badness that is the result of indis-
cretion or faulty living can be in most
cases cured. or benefited greatly.

He Proposes to AnnihiIate the Enemy

Ever since the first flying machine
made a successful circle of the Eiffel
Tower in Paris Mrs. Bowser has been
expecting Mr.. Bowser to come home
and announce that he had purchased
stock in one. For some reason that
will always remain a mystery he failed
to take to the flyer. or put it off until
other things were out of the way. The
other day, however, he was ready. He
came home with his shoulders thrown
back and his chest thrown out, and
it was easy to see by his strut that
he had entered upon business Of vast
Importance to the world at large.
Have you been buying a pig,
dear?" asked Mrs. Bowser. as an en-

"A pig? When have I dealt in
pigs?" he replied in lofty contempt.

one. It isn't goats again. is it2 You
