TEST OBLIQUE ARMOR PLATE.
Experiments at Indian Head May
Change Warship Construction.

Preparations are being made at Indian
Head, Nd, for extensive tests with
oblique armor plate. 1t is proposed to fire
projectiles from all sizes Of guns up to
iourteen-inch at armor set up at angles
from five to forty degrees. Projectiles
Will be fired under these conditions at
different velocities SO as to produce all
possible hits that might occur in actual
warfare.
These experiments are expected to show
at just what angle projectiles cease to be
most effective when they strike modern
armor plate. Data will be obtained from
these experiments. which will have an i'm
portant effect in the arrangement of ar
NOR plate on battleships and may result
in changing the general plans of battle
ship construction.

SHOWERS TO CONTINUE.
There Will Be No Great Change in
Temperature, It Is Held.

A continuation of the showery
weather of the past few days is pro-
missed by the weather bureau. Today's
forecast is for unsettled weather, with
occasional showers tonight and tomor-
row. Light, variable winds are to be
expected, and there will not be any
great change of temperature.
The Slightly cooler" temperature
promised by the weather bureau for
last night came along according to
schedule. A fine cool breeze blew up
about 10 O'Clock last night, making
the night mighty comfortable one.
But old General Humidity was back
on the job early this morning and
made the day seem almost as warm
and considerably more sticky and UNI
comfortable, even than yesterday. But
the moist weather is doing whole lot
of good on the farms and truck gar
dens of this entire section and, for
that matter, throughout the greater
part Of the country.

.ENGRAVERS GIVE APPROVAL
TO COMPROMISE MEASURE
Steel and Copper Plate Printers Act
Regarding Power Presses
at the Bureau.

Approyal Of the compromise measure
affecting the use Of power presses IN
the bureau Of engraving and printing
contained in the amendment to the sun
dry civil bill, now pending in Congress-
was given In q resolution adopted by the
International Steel and Copper Plate
Printers Union of North America at the
third days session of the convention to-
day in the red parlor Of the Ebbitt
House.
The amendment, recognizing the need
Of greater volume of production in the
bureau of engraving and printing, au-
thorizes the bureau to apply power presses
to the printing of the backs Of Treasury
notes, to the extent of one-f1fth OF the
product of the first year of installation,
increasing in like proportion annually
until, at the end of five years. all Dacks
of Treasury notes shall be SO produced
by power presses. Faces of notes. now
protected by existing law from printing
by power presses, are maintained in that
status.
Four Subjects on Note Backs.
A second section Of the compromise
provides that only four ''subjects'-en-
graved Impressions of note backs-shal
be contained on one plate. Hand presses
cannot conveniently handle larger plate
than will provide for four subjects. but
power press might be capable of ex.
tending its utility in this respect.
Another resolution adopted at this morn.
ings session requires affliation of loca
unions making up the international asso-
citation with the local branch of the
American Federation of Labor.
