flor officers and men. There are the
erection of the targets. the maneuver-
ling of the ships. the handling of the
ammunition. the loading and firing Of
the guns, the inspection Of the targets

strain on the nerves comes mainly. of

The men of the Utah are especially

one Of the very latest acquisitions to
the United States navy.
So tickled was of the utah's crew

couldn't resist the temptation to take

this Is what he wrote:.

vice to bear the burdens Of the world.
Vassar seeks no distinction based on
the fairness Of face and form Of its
students. Therefore. runs the chain OF
logic, since the daisy chain confers on
Vassar unsought fame as the HON of
pretty girls. the daisy chain must go.
Hence these tears, as some n said in
Latin long ago.
Besides, Vassar thinks the selection
Of twenty-four. maidens as representa-
tives of the sophomore class in the past
has led, perhaps. to the reflection that
the rest Of the class was not equal to
the fortunate few in personal attrac-
%tiveness. That is not fair. since every
one knows that all Vassar girls are I'M
commonly beautiful. But they are HUI
man. and it is natural for envy to
rankle in the feminine heart when an
other is preferred solely on the score Of
beauty.
To this argument the reply has been
made, why not let the entire sopho-
more class carry the daisy chain?" But
here arises again the objection that
Vassar collectively (not individually, Of
course!) seeks no fame based on the
beauty Of its students. To let the en-
tire sophomore class carry the chain
would, 1t is said. emphasize before the
world the assertion that the thousand
vassar girls have among their number
Ian unusually large proportion Of Hebes
and Dianas: And official and studious
Vassar wants to avoid that reputation.

According to one report of last years

If that doesn't breathe pride in a

an unfeeling lot, without car whether
their shells destroy targets or not.

one of the twelve inch guns Of the Utah
is fired. If the whole armament Of the
super-Dreadnought, including the tor
|pedoes. were fired at once. the cost
would amount to something like s25,O40.
The Utah carries ten twelve-inch
guns, arranged in pairs in turrets. two
forward and three aft. Each one Of
them cost about s65.OO0 and can be fired
800 times before its usefulness Is gone
by reason Of the action Of the powder
and gases.
Ever since the time Of the Spanish
American war. when the American
ships. although they disposed of Spain's
weaker navy in jigtinle. did not make
a large percentage OF hits. the navy de-
Ipartment has devoted time n brains

is impressed on all the officers and

the vessels for the honor Of flying the

stunts in the air which have caused the
deaths Of $50 aeronauts in the past
three years. No more the unnecessary
taking Of chances, no more the tempt

Some Of the leading aviators. Ameri-
can and foreign, ave decided thus.
They will still brave death every time

tenance and encourage the things
| which have sprinkled blood on every
page of the otherwise bright record Of

aviation. said recently:
"Some weird author in a current
magazine says all air men are fatalists:
that We believe the game will get US

as much as the rest Of humanity. Most
Of us prize our necks as much as peo-
| pie in general. We need them in our
business and propose to protect them"
The recent death Of Calbraith P.

brought sadness to the hearts OF avia-
tors, among whom he was we'll liked.
1t carried conviction to the minds and
hearts Of many Of them that something
must be done to stop the needless
slaughter Of brave men. So some Of
them were called together at a meeting
in New York by Walter Brookins. an
aviator who cannot be accused OF want
Of courage, and were asked to pledge
themselves to further the movement for
greater safety in the air. Among the
