PLEA FOR BETTER HOME
TRAINING FOR CHILDREN
Speaking before the thirteenth
Child Welfare convention, now in
session at the Hotel Sherman,
Judge Charles N. Goodnow, of
the Court of Domestic Relations,
made a strong plea for the better
home training of children.
You cannot legislate happi-
ness into a home" he said. All
the divorce laws in the world will
not correct some of the evils re-
sponsible for domestic unhappi-
ness.
"Neither boy nor girl today is
taught the duties OF nusOana OF
wife. Domestic science is.a lost
art. The vanity of dress, the gla-
fnour of society" have occupied
the minds of the children since
they were in their teens.'
Men make certain demands of
women before they will give them
social recognition. But purity
of life on the part of the man is
just as imperative as on the part
of the woman.

only $50 pounds
Among the most interesting sights
one sees at the naval gun factory is
the shop where jackets are fitted to
the big barkers. So great is the eN-
plOsive force Of a charge Of modern
powder that the breech section of a
great gun has TO be strongly reinforced.
Anyone who has ever seen a rural
blacksmith cut a tire on farmer
Browns road wagon viii understand
the principle Of logging out a big gun
IN new jacket The jacket is heated
for a long period in an electric furnace
at temperature of from 400 TO 500
degrees After il has sufficiently eX
panded, the big gun is lifted up and the
small end put down through the jacket.
When the breech end comes in contact
with the jacket il is in position. and the
steel is gradually cooled and tempered
by the application of jets of water. One
hears much about the muZzle speed OF
the cannon ball, and wonders how il
can be accurately told. Two targets
are connected with a chrOnOgraph by
an electric current. As the prOjectile
passed through the first target it re-
leases a weight from an electrOma gner,
which, in falling, records the exact in
slant the prOjectile passed through the
target Another weight is likewise re-
leased when the prOJect1le passes
through the second target and the diff
ference in the time registered shows
how long il required for the projectile
to cover the distance between the two
targets.
Measuring Pressure.
To measure the pressure in gun fire,
two methods are used In the one
method a piece of brass is placed in
steel case. A piston is connected with
this piece Of brass and the pressure
produced by the explosion, acting on
the piston, congresses the brass in
proportion to the amount of pressure
eXerted. This gives the basis for the
calculation as to the amount of pres
sure.
One of the most interesting Of all the
munitions of war is the modern White
head torpedo. Its motor power is fur
nished by compressed air, stored In
tank within the torpedo, at a pressure
of about 100 pounds to the square inch.
In a chamber back Of the compressed
air tank is a mechanism for regulating
the depth at which the torpedo shall
slide along the water. A piston is held
in a balanced position by the pressure

HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems IN advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy IS so truly
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use 1t. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elias
tic those hbres and muscles which
nature IS expanding, prevents numb
ness OF limbs, and soOthes the inham-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is

Philippine Pill Nut Seeds Also Brought
Here For Plant Bureau.
There are being brought to the Unit
ed States plant bureau seeds of two
rather remarkable trees.
One seed comes from the southern
part of the island of Luzan. in the
Philippines. 1t is from the pill nut
tree and is said to be extraordinarily
rich in flavor. The tree is very
large one. and the Americans in the
Philippines think the mt is the finest
grown. If lighted match be held to
nut when roasted it will burn like a
lamp. so rich is it in oil.
The other tree is found on the
isthmus of Panama and is one of the
most interesting trees of the tropics.
1t is called the candle tree. and it is
quite worthy of its name. for when its
fruit is ripe its branches appear as
though covered with candles. for all
the world like an old fashioned Christ
