There are thousands Of homes where
attic rooms are done Off" and in al
most every instance a lot of space is
wasted. This can be overcome in most
cases.
Making room in a top floor or at
tic is generally done by paneling or
plastering the walls. and where the
roof slopes down to the floor, or almost
TO the floor, large place is cut off by
building a short partition down from
the roof to the floor
The partition or wall of such n
room is generally not high enough for
the average bureau or dresser with its
swivel mirror. No old fashioned bu
reau without a mirror is high enough
for a chiffonier. And so small one
is generally placed against this wall.
This takes up lot Of space. sticking
out into the already small room. This
can be avoided if. when the room is fin
ished, instead Of cutting off this space
back of the short partition, series of
drawers is built in.
The bottom drawer would be deep
and wide and the other three or four
drawers would taper up. the top one
being quite narrow as the roof is slop-
ing toward this short partition all the
time.

In cooking fish baking sheet is al

Of galvanized or plain sheet iron, just
large enough to fit in the bottom of the
baking pan, with rings at each end to
lift 1t by. When the fish Is prepared
for the oven. set it on the sheet iron.

NAMING Of NAVY CRAFT
RECALLS FIGHT IN JAPAN
Torpedo Boat Destroyer Is
Christened in Honor of
Commander McDougaI.

One of the six torpedo boat destroyers
authorized by Congress al it's recent ses
sion has been named "McDougal," i'll
recognition of the services of Commander
David McDougal, a hero of the time of
the civil war. The action in which he
particularly distinguished himself occur
red in Japanese waters many years ago,
and the official accounts of it read like
an old romance of the sea.
In the summer of 1Sr; a Japanese
dainio, named Mort, in connection with
general movement against foreigners,
attempted to bar the inland Sea of Japan
to foreign vessels by means of shore bat
teries and men-of-war at Shimonoseki
straits. June % an American merchant
vessel, the Pembroke. was fired upon.
News of this reached Commander Nc
Dougal, on board the L. s. S. Wyoming,
July 10, 1868, at Yokohama, whence he
was preparing to sail the following day
for home. in accordance with the depart
ment's orders. He sailed instead. July
13, for Shimonoseki straits arriving at
the inner entrance July 49, 1863.
Sinks Enemy's Vessels.
In addition to the shore batteries
which he knew to exist, but of whose
strength he was not informed, he found
the straits defended by three Japanese
men-of-war. a steamer, a brig and q
bark McDougal engaged at once, and
| conducted an action in which two of the
| enemy's vessels Were sunk, the third was
| put out Of action, and the Wyoming was
taken past the entire line of his bat
| teries and back again, a convincing DEM
onstration of the futility of the daimio's
edict, so far as American shipping was
concerned.
| The Wyoming was a sloop of war about
! ], 500 tons displacement. with an arma-
| ment of four 32-pounder broadside guns.
| two 11-inch Dalhgren pivot guns and a
crew of 16O officers and men. The aggre-
| gate armament of the three opposing
| japanese men-of-war was eighteen guns
They were destroyed only after McDou-
gal had closed to pistol range.
| The shore batteries actively engaged
| aggregated about seventy-four guns,
some of them known to be of recent
and powerful type, and all Of them eff
| fective at the range at which they were
engaged.
| In addition to these apparently over
whelming odds, the navigational condi-
| tons We're most adverse, the channel
narrow and obscure and the tides strong.
| McDougal had no charts. and his Jana
nese pilots were demoralized. The Wyo-
ming grounded once during the engage
| ment and was worked off with difficult
| ties. The loss on the Wyoming was five
killed and six wounded. The vessel was
| hulled eleven times. while her rigging
| was torn and her upper works riddled by
the shots that went high as McDcugal
closed in.
