OUR ARMORPLATE JUST
LIKE CHEESE, MAXIM SAYS.
Noted Inventor Asserts Metal Is
No Protection.

PITTSBURGH, March s.-Hudson
Maxim. while visiting the Carnegie
mills yesterday, made the astounding
statement that:
"Armor plate is no better today than
cheese for naval vessels.
by 1920 we will have cruisers tray
cling forty miles an hour with 16-inch
guns mounted on decks. With such
craft armor plate is not alone useless,
Nut is a hindrance.
"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 govern
| ment knows this-al1 progressive gov
ernments admit the truth of It."

OLD SPANISH MISSIONS
 OF CALIFORNIA.
Paper by Mrs. B. P Learned Before
 Parish House Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the Parish Uorse association was held in the Osgood Memorial on Friday after noon. There was 8 good attendance at the meeting, which was conducted by the ydce president, Mrs. Rush W. kimball. The minutes of the last meet ing were read by Miss Elizabeth M. Trumbull and the treasurer's report was given by Mrs. Frederick Syming ton. Miss Lucille Peck gave two fine ly rendered violin solos, MazuTka, by Mlynarski and the encore number. Menuett in G. by Beethoven. Mrs. Charles H. Haskell accompanied her
 The paper for the afternoon was by Mrs, Bela P. Learned, who gave a most interesting account of the old Spanish Missions of California. These first out posts of civilization on the Pacific coast comprised 21 stations reaching from San Diego to San Francisco. They were remarkable for their rapid growth and for their picturesque loca- ton in the midst of the Indian tribes. They were pathetic in their ending and wonderful in their ruins. We cannot say that America has no ruins while these ancient walls still stand. And we are finding even older ruins of pre- historic peoples. She spoke of the courage and faith of these Franciscan missionary fathers who built these splendid missions for the Indians. They were church. industrial school and walled town in one, sometimes 5000 Indian neophytes learning within their walls. They were started by men from Mexico in 17SS, beginning with that of San Diego. Following on up ut I'll If MOntp- rey. San Antonio, San Gabriel, San Luis Obispo. San Juan Capistrano, San Francisco Dolores, Santa Clara, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, La Purisirna de Conception, Santa Cruz, La Soledad, San Jose de Guardelupe, San Juan Bautista, San Miguel San Fernando, San Luis Rey, Santa Ines, San Rafael, and San Francisco So- lano. The Indians at San Gabriel were a superior tribe, with a wealth of mus ic and folk songs.
 Mrs Learned sang three of these In dian songs to show the beauty of In dian music These were Canoists Love Song, Chippewa Prayer, and Lul- laby. She told of the Landmarks club of California, which has organized for the purpose of preserving these old mission buildings, and she spoke elo- ouentlv of the i'll treatment the Indians have received from the United States government, and appealed for sympa thy and aid in their behalf. The cheer ful thought in these old ruins is that, unlike so many ancient piles, there hoyers over them a halo Of good deeds, and we may be proud of these relics cf the past.
 After the meeting refreshments were served by the social committee, Mrs Leonard c. Smith and Mrs. Edson F. Gallaudet:
