URGES MODERN SHIPS

Prof. FIamm of Berlin Points
Out Necessity of Water

Correspondence Of The Star

|
BERLIN, December g. 1912.
The question OF the unsinka blenesS OF
modern sea-going ships was discussed at
the recent sitting of the German Society
of Naval Architects, which held its an
nual meeting in Berlin.
| Prof Oswald Flamm. one OF The most
eminent OF German naval architects, pro-
! lessor of naval architecture at the Tech
nical University in Charlottenburg. in the
course of a paper pointed on; thai in
| England the necessity for water-tight
compartments was repeatedly urged by
| the technical experts, especially by the
admiralty. but for a long time all efforts
TO secure this provision for the safety
of the ship were frustrated by the OPP
position of the shipowners.
! Turning TO the state of affairs in his
own country, Prof. Flamm remarked that
sh;pbuilding had made such enormous
strides in the past sixteen years that
the present regulations are absolutely in
adequate for modern vessels. He con-
tended that in the ..rst place the exist
| ing regulations in respect of water-tiSht
compa rtments are too general, and do not
take sufficiently into account the individ-
ual qualities. of the single ships; in the
second place that the regulations do not
insure the stability of the ship in the case
| of a leak. and in the third place they APP
| ply on.y to passenger steamers. and not
to freight steamers, whose crews also
deserve notice"

TO SHAVE NEWPORT CATS.

Newport, Aug. 6-This town, the
Mecca of Americans mulit-million-
aires and society folk is jealous of
Washington, though 1t admits that one
summer fad started in the Capital may
be accepted here, for there is no city
in the world where so much care is
taken of family pets as in Newport.
Society women who own prize-win-
ming cats are considering the advis-
ability of adopting the methods in
augurated by few Washington ma
irons of keeping their feline pets cool
during the hot days Of August. The
aristocratic enteries of the Newport
Cat Club, as result, will probably
saunter forth within few days look
ing as much like French poodle as a
cat can look like dog. It is argued
that cats with fur, especially Per-
SLAMS, suffer terribly from the heat.
Consequently It. is considered, not a
fad, but thoroughly human to clip
them. The custom of "barbering
cats" is said to have been imported
from England. which resigns the
New York matrons to the thought OF
copying someone else.

REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT OF
MEMBER OF TOMATO CLUB

Much interest has been created in
the work of the girls tomato clubs in
this county and as the season ap-
proaches its end, reports are coming
in. which show very notable results
being accomplished by Forrest coun-
ty girls. The most notable thus far
reported is the work of Miss Mamie
Chatham. living near Petal. From
one-tenth of an acre of land, she has
already put up two thousand cans, and
her tomato vines are still bearing.
This result is considered especially re-
markable since it is stated that the
highest record made in the banner
county of the state was zoos cans
from one-tenth of an acre. This would
indicate that Miss Chatham has prac-
tically doubled the highest record
made in any previous contest.
The cans used are what are called
the 3-pound commercial can, which
retails in Hattiesburg at ten cents
So if her product already obtained
was sold at retail on this market ii

WILSON Will MEET
GOV. MARSHALL
TONIGHT
FIRST MEETING OF THE RUNNING
MATES SINCE THE BALTI-
MORE CONVENTION.

Seagort, N. J., Aug. Gov Wood
row Wilson will pay his respects to
Gov. Marshall of Indiana, his running
mate tonight at Spring Lake, two
miles from here. The presidential
nominee will call on the vice presi-
dent candidate, who will attend the
notification exercises Wednesday.
The meeting will be the first since the
two men were chosen to head the
Democratic ticket.
The Governor was unable, he said,
to announce the name of the treasur-
er of the national committee agreed
upon by him and National Chairman
McComb. The Governor added that
he had been unable to communicate
with Mr.. McCombs during the day,
but might hear from him any hour.
Mr.. McCombs was to have determined
whether the man selected would ac-
cept. The Governor preferred, he
said, not to give any inkling as to who
was his choice.
For an hour yesterday the nominee
played golf. During the day he saw
but few callers. He met Representa-
tive James M. Graham of Illiniis,
who was introduced by Cotter Bride
of Washington, D. c., close friend
of William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bride confirmed earlier reports
that Mr.. Bryan probably would fol-
low the itinerary Of Col Roosevelt on
the stump.
Geo. Wilson will go to Trenton to-
day, where he has an appointment to
meet Gov. O'Neal of Alabama. The
last time the two Governors met was
at the Governors conference at Spring
Lake, N. j.. when Gov. .O'Neal took
issue with Gov. Wilson's views on the
regulation of railroad rates.
A delegation of about 100 Demo
Gratis, including the Delaware delega-
tion to the Baltimore convention, also
will call on Gov. Wilson at the State
House today.

track will run the entire length of the

not do anything in cane syrup this

to plant large acreage in cane another
year, to be able next season to do 6
big business in that line. The meth

carry conviction of success to the
practical observer. The plant will

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The first session
of the first convention Of the new Ma
tional Progressive party, of which Col.
Theodore Roosevelt is sponsor, took
place in the Coliseum yesterday, and
while the setting was attended by all
of the usual ceremony and parapher-
MALTA Of national political gathering,
actual proceedings were suggestive of
a love feast.
Not a dissenting voice was raised
during the session. The question of
negro representation from the South
had caused friction earlier in the day
in the national committee, but there
was no echo of this fight in the con-
vention. The delegates were at times
explosive in their enthusiasm. Many
of the state delegations came into the
hall singing and shouting in their de-
light at the birth of the new party and
three hours later left the building in
the same happy frame of mind.

of the convention worked smoothly
and efficiently. There was no roll

tion of the floor, arranged in the same
manner as at the Republican national
convention few weeks ago and ac-
commodating nearly eleven hundred
persons, was filled. The alternate
section also had its full quota. There
was not the same crush of spectators
as at the Republican gathering, but
when the proceedings began the gal
leries had few empty seats. Conven-
tion leaders were enthusiastic over
the showing made in the Coliseum,
and made the claim that no better
looking, more substantial set of dele
gates ever was seen on the floor of a
national political convention.
There was great cheer as Senator
Dixon, national chairman of the party,
