FINE IVORY NOW THE VOGUE
Toilet Table Accessories at the Pres
ent Moment Are Costly but De-
cidedly Smart

All the toilet and dressing table
requisites are now found In fine ivory.
The only care needed is to rub OF
with fresh, sof. cloth, occasionally
using rag motstened in alcohol if
spots occur These, too, are more
costly than silver, but are considered
very smart
The backs are monogramed in
black. brown, and occasionally in
raised gold. Sometimes the sets are
shown with floral decorations, but
this is not SO good style as is seen in
many of the limitations
White celluloid sets with a mono
gram In black, dark green, blue. or
brown are now to be found In good
designs with simple lines. The latest
preparations are no longer combus-
dble, and full celluloid toilet set Is

could mention number Of similar instances
which demonstrate my statement that at that time
we were able to shoot we'll, and have been
shooting better ever since. Not only the men OF
the north, but the Of the south. shot well dur
ing the Civil war; they shot well during the Span
ish war; and we shoot half dozen times as
we'll today as we could during the Spanish war.
Never has the American navy made such a
ord 1t is making today, and never has there been
a navy having a record excelling the one which
navy is DOW making for capacity to hit the
target. That is really the whole problem
to hit what you shooting at.
We have not in the past built homogeneous
fleets. We build surplus Of battleships and then
provide the to man them, and frequently pro-
vide more than we have ships for. We build auxil-
iaries and torpedo boats II do 1t at all, without
regard to the relation which such craft should
bear to the battleship fleet, and while have
built have in construction 20 battleships have
practically no means of furnishing tenders for them
under service conditions
When the battleship feet sent to the Pa
cic recently necessary to charter 40 foreign
ships to carry coal for 1t. II 1t had been found
necessary to send the fleet around the horn in time
of war 1t could not have been attempted. because
could not have furnished American vessels in
which to carry the coal.
Very few people realize the deplorable condition
we are in, as far merchant marine is con-
cerned. If we had large merchant marine we
could draw from 1t without having special aux-
1ares for the navy, but we are so lacking In both
that 1t makes our present situation almost hope
less.
When the Spanish broke out it was neces-
sary to purchase colliers and transports One hun
dred and two vessels were bought at cost Of
thing s17o0O,o0O, but they cost very large
percentage more than their market value, and more
than twice much they could have been sold
for If they had been put the market at the ter
mination of the war. In other words we paid out
millions of dollars because we had not provided
ourselves with suitable auxiliaries for our battle
ship fleet We should have a navy adequate for
our needs not only adequate in battleships but
adequate in every other respect

Surgery on Heart

Surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less of commonplace in medical history.
Something approximating 100 cases of the sewing
up of heart wounds are record and the
cries have been considerable when one considers
the highly dangerous character of such work Hth-
erto however, heart surgery has been limited to ac
cident
In recent issue of the annals of surgery one of
the workers at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research discusses the possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
numerous experiments animals and believes
that such operations will be successfully performed
human beings in the future. His tests
have convinced him that the heart can be opened,
scraped out Cleaned, so to speak,, sewed up and
started off on Its beating" path again without any
genious system of side piping and new channeling
he is able temporarily to cut out of the circulation
portions OF such important vessels the descend
ing aorta the largest artery in the body without
killing the animal Among his suggested opera
tions is one the coronary arteries of the heart
for the of angina pectorls
This doctor has apparently proved to his own sat
isfactiOn animals that successful surgical inter
ference with the great vessels the heart itself
is possibility. 1t is, of course long step from
these experiments to actual operations on human
beings but there is every indication that the latter
feat will be attempted In the future. The In
ractability OF cardiac affections and their high IA
talty make the proposed new surgery a thing OF
great general interest and may Justify the extreme
boldness of the proposal

and white lights and there is the electric torch

The American navy has been the most sue
cessful military organization. from its very incep-
tion which the world has ever That is a
pretty broad statement, but it Is absolutely true
There good reasons for this.
In the early days commercial people.
We were natural sailormen. Our people lived
along the shores. They made their money In
commercial pursuits. The men who commanded
merchant ships not only good sailors; they
good merchants and the foundations for
many of the great fortunes Of this country have
come from that source In order to protect them
selves they obliged to go armed. Their
ships were armed as were privateers in time of
war. The result is that they not only knew navi-
cation, but they knew gunnery, and combined
with these qualities the intelligence which makes
great merchants.
Naturally when those men came into positions
where they commanded men-ofwar, they were
equal to the occasion, although they had had no
naval training. AS time went on they acquired a
naval training, that in the later wars, in the
early part of the nineteenth century they met
every requirement, and in the recent wars the
graduates of the Naval academy have been equal
to every duty which has been imposed upon
them. They have made record of which every
American citizen should be proud.
The American sailorman has always been eff
cient They good men in the time of the
Revolution; competent men in the time of the
war of 1912. They better men today than they
were In those days. because today 95 per cent. OF
them American citizens, and not man is
shipped in the American navy who has not de-
clared his intention to become citizen. Twenty
five years ago not more than 30 per cent. OF our
men -of-wars American citizens.
The American navy has been successful be-
cause our ships have always been good ships
as any that built in the world Our merchant
men, In the Revolutionary times, and down to
the Civil war the best merchant ships sail
ing the They were, no doubt the best
manned and they made the fastest time. During
the period of wooden ships, when built
ofwar they were of the same general character.
Our menof-war, gun for gun, equal to. and
probably superior, to those of any other nation.
We have always been able to shoot better than
most people. Go back to the early times, to the
revolutionary We lost "a men nof-war, carry
ing less than 800 guns In the Revolutionary war,
while the British lost 102 men-ofwar, carrying
more than $500 guns. We captured 800 Of their
merchant ships and it is not too much to say
that II 1t had not been for the damage caused by

that Is, it might have been necessary
later to have fought that war over
again
The same relative skill prevailed In
the War of 1872. Our ships OF the
same class were superior to-the ships
Of our opponents. This statement is
confirmed when we study the exact
figures. For instance, in the Hornet
Peacock contest the British ship lost
five men killed and 81 wounded out OF
a crew of 100, while the American
ship had but three wounded-this in
eleven minutes. In the Wasp-Frolic
fight the British ship lost 15 men
