CORINTHIAN CLUB
TO MOVEQUARTERS
Boathouse Will Be Towed to Site
on Virgiaia Side Of
Potomac.

The CorInthIan Yacht Club has signi'
ned its intention OF moving from its
present quarters on the Georgetown har-
Dor front to a newly acquired location
near Potomac Park in the early spring.
The new site is on the Virginia side OF
the Potomac and covers an area OF about
three acres between the Highway Bridge
and the railroad bridge 1t is the inten-
ton OF the club to physically transport
the boathouse from its present location
to the new site.
The boathouse Is a large frame struc-
ture one story in height, with a garnet.
1t is placed on piles on the harbor front.
II Is the plan to cut the piles from be-
meath the building and to transport the
clubs property across the river on a
large scow. The distance from the pres
ent site to the new location is about
four miles. The work will be done under
the direction OF Commodore Ingling.
The club has long been cramped for
room at its present location, where moor
ing facilities have for years been at a
premium, and II considers itself very
fortunate in securing tho new location,
which, besides being one OF the most
beautiful parts OF the Potomac near
Washington, offers ideal bOat-club facili-
ties.
Large shore space. good depth OF wa
ter. sheltered anchorage for scores of
boats, and &C feasibility from Washington
are among the advantages gained by the
change, and the club confidently looks
forward to unparalleled growth and pros

Penetrate Armor Fourteen
Miles Away.

Plans for a sixteen-inch naval gun that
will hurl 2.Ooo-pound shell and penetrate
armor at fourteen miles, the most giganS
tic and most powerful piece Of ordnance
yet contrived, are now complete In the
office Of Rear Admiral n: c. Twining.
chief OF the United States Bureau Of
Ordnance.
Recognizing the. truth in part Of H.
ram Maxirn's belief long before he ex-
pressed IT that battle ships Of tremen-
dous gun power and almost incredible
speed will soon rule the seas. the Navy
Department many months ago set about
finding a solution for the problem.
The sixteen-inch gun which would be
able to reach an enemy beyond the
horizon Is the first result.
A sixteen-inch gun was constructed for
the coast defense and tested at Sandy
Hook. but 1t proved failure. All Of its
defects have been remedied in the new
naval gun, which experts are firmly con-
WINGED will revolutioniZe naval warfare
Belief was expressed in the ONCE of Ad-

RITA MARIO'S ORCHESTRA AT
PROCTOR'S BETTER THAN EVER.

A storm of applause rewarded Rita
Mario and her wonderful woman's or
chestra of Boston at P%roctor's Theatre
last night. Gladys Clark and Henry
Bergman likewise came in for a great
ovation in "a Baseball Filtration"
wherein singing, dancing and dialogue
were equally well rendered. Rawson,
an aboriginal Australian, and June, q
beautiful, shapely young woman, whose
nationality was not definitely disclosed
but who spoke English fiuently in ex-
PLANTATION of her savage looking coll
leagues performances, threw javelins,
darts and boomerangs with startling
effect. w. s. Dickinson. as "the ex-
Justice of the peace" kept the audi
ence convulsed with laughter by his
anecdotes and songs Nor was there
any lessening of the laughter when
William H. Macart and Ethlynne
Bradford appeared in "a Legitimate
Hold Up" Others who ingrstiated
themselves into the hearts of the au-
dience We're Ed Wynn and Edmund
Russon, in Joy and Gloom;' the Van

cluded the truly entertaining perform

Between
Ourselves

Geo. w. Perkins. the New
York fnancier, is responsible
for this statement:
IT believe many. if not
most, family troubles today
are due to the fact that
women do not know the value
of a dollar-the dollar that
her husband has earned down
town by the sweat of his
brow. When women become
more practical, or nor sensi-
BILE in money matters a lot
of our fanny troubles will be
solved"
Women do not know the value
of a dollar. Anyone in the dry
goods business knows how fool
this is-how utterly preposterous.
Women, as a whole, DO know
the value of a dollar, and what
is more, they have a happy fac
ulty of making their dollars go
anywhere from one-half to twice
again as far as the male mem
bers of the Species
The woria would be infinitely
better Off If MORE m were
allowed to hold the pocleetbook.
Mr.. Perkins does not speak adj
visedly when he says that women
are spendthrifts.
