Armor Plate Is Useless.

Hudson Maxim says: ''Armor plate
Is no better today than cheese for
naval vessels. BY 1920 we will have
cruisers travelling forty miles an hour
with sixteen inch guns mounted on
decks. With such craft armor plate
Is not alone useless. but is a hin
drance. The United States battleships
can today fire shells which penetrate
any known armor plate and explode
after passing within a ship. Then
what is the use of armor plate? The
government knows this. All progress

ONLY THING IS TO FIND HER
Every Man Has an Affinity Somewhere
IN the Earth, is a Law OF
Nature.

Every man has a best girl waiting
for him somewhere in the world. The
moment that he Is born, the catalogue
clerk In Times great factory assigns
him to a best girl or else puts him on
the waiting list.
There is no escaping your best girl.
No matter where she may be born or
how far apart from her you were when
you started, the inevitable attraction
will work your destiny, and when you
meet you will both know 1t.
All that is lacking is the material
realization, and inasmuch as all ideas
eventually find their way to the sur
face, yours is bound to come.
Sometimes a mans best girl is home
ly; sometimes her mouth Is not q
cupid's bow, and her features are ir-
regular; that makes no difference; he
will love her just the same when he
meets her.
Also, she may be another mans wife.
Such things have been known.
