ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER.
Misunderstood People-Nerves. Mako
 More Trouble Than Naughtiness.

No end of ridicule is aimed at the woman who is constantly stating that she is misunderstood. But I really think that much of Nfe's trouble is due to this fact.
 If the woman who is set down as cross and cranky could be properly analysed and not harshly, criticized, misunderstood. Nerves, not naughti- ness, are responsible for actions that get her into all sorts of ructionS both at home and abroad.
 You women that I talk to every Week, know I am telling the truth when I say that half the time, the whole bunch of us who get into diff faculties are simply driven there by being under high mental tension. We say and do things that bring down hard Judgments on our poor throbbing heads.
 Again, don't you know what it is to be lonely, to be dispirited, even Respondent, and in that mood write a letter or send a telephone message that you regret almost before the ink is dry or you have hung up the re- ceiver?
 Of course you cannot explain the conditions that impelled you to say or do the various things for which you are misjudged.
 But the kindly will not too speedily condemn. They may have known what it is to be absolutely forced into an attitude which their own saner judgment in a moment of calm would see in different light.
 Eliminate woman's nerves" her ments afd when she is judged in her right light, she won't be misunder-

UNCLE SAM'S BIGGEST DRYDOCK TAKES IN
 UTAH, BIGGEST BATTLESHIP, WHICH WILL
 HAVE DENTS IN ARM0R STRENGTHENED OUT

New York. May 1.-The battleship Otah, the largest 'warship in commits sion in the world, is in dry dock at the, Brooklyn navy yard, thus helping that dock to live down the name of the hoodoo dock'', which it acquired because of the many accidents dur ing it's construction. The Utah is in the navy hospital because a British tramp steamship trying to get to sea In fog dented a few of her bow plates as she lay off Thompkinsville, Staten Island, on the. same day that the Titanic founderd. It will cost about $15,O00 to put her in shape again. The Condor knocked a, dent In the port side of the Utah between her .hawse holes, fifteen feet above the water line and twenty feet for ward of the armor belt, where her skin was tender.

 ed. The blow punched a hole also in
 the port trimming tank just below the water line. By the time they pumped the water from aroundd the Utah the big ship looked small enough. A mid-, shipman standing at the sea end of the dock remarked that the battle ship didn't seem to be such a whack-
 ing big ship after all. As matter of fact dry dock can hold ship 150 feet longer than the Utah and have a little room to spare. When the navy gets a 45,0O0 ton battleship the dock can take her safely in. It is the biggest navy dock on either of the coasts Yet it wouldn't have been nearly big enough to hold the Titanic if that ship had been able to limp in- to port Captain F. R. Harris of the navy, the man who built the dock. was on hand to see that the dock stood up to the racket. He said he

Many desirable rooms don't rent for the simple reason that they are known to be infested with Bed Bugs. Spend 25 cents and clean your home, and your rooms will rent. Tell the public your house has been cleaned with Cyrus Presto Killer and the applicant for rooms will be satisfied. There is nothing better made, noth- ing so clean to use and noth- ing so harmless to human beings-it does not burn. Try a can 9 cents, it is worth money to you.

hadn't feared anything. but he was glad nevertheless that the dock was not a hoodoo any longer. It took about twelve years from the time the first appropriate was made for a new big drydock at the Brooklyn navy yard to be finished, and they were twelve worrisome years. All along the water edge at the navy yard is tricky quicksand and time and again the quicksand boiled, as the engineers say, throwing the contrac- tors into frenzy. Some of them gave up, and their places were taken by others. and these, too, had to confess that the .quicksand had got the better of them. But Harris drove 102 pneu- matic caissons beneath where the dry dock was to rest and fifty-two more at the sides. The forward ones went to hardpan, and the others sank nine ty-five feet through the quicksand to solid bottom.
