IS rot matter OF recent discovery; the

within the last twenty years.
\ little bit of history will not be out OF

genius of the late DR.. William Froude, OF
England, should be recognized. In 1911
the British Admiralty had under consid-

matters the naval authorities Instituted a
committee on design, and DR.. Froude be-

AVE you ever stopped to think
u how il is possible for modern yes
Il n sells 10 make the speed they do:
Probably you have imagined the whole
problem as something for the engine room
10 solve-in other words, merely a mat
ter of just so much power churnng the
screws around in an increasing race. II
YOU will ponder for a moment you will
realize that this is faulty conclusion
and the reason for your error is plain
Added power means bigger engines and a
larger initial outlay for machinery
Bigger engines require more steam. and
more steam can be supplied only by in
creasing boiler capacity. Boiler capacity
costs money in two ways: First for the
boilers themselves and second, for the
fuel which must be burned in them TO
turn the water into steam.
This is an age of economy and efficiency,
and these two vital factors to commercial
or administrative success cannot be real
lied through extravagant mechanical eff
fort or expenditure: each pound of coal
and each developed horsepower must
render as nearly as possible maximum
of effective service. Simply crowding q
ship full of engines of immense mechani-
cal energy will not meet these require
ments. The real problem is TO make each
turn Of the propeller drive the craft at
the highest appropriate speed, and YES
sci of any prescribed form can be forced
through the water economically only to Il
definite limit. Up to that limit the sup
porting fluid offers a minimum resistance,
let US say, but when the ship tries TO
advance faster the water suddenly IN

engines waste their energy In producing

Myrtle Smith was solemnized at the
home. Of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Smith, by the Methodist

Only few friends and immediate rela-
tives were present to witness the occa-
sion.

which it takes to be an ideal wife. She
was student OF Dickson College for
some few years and was the assistant
stenographer at Belmont College for
some time, but at the present is organist
in the Paris Methodist Church. The
groom is promising young man of
sterling qualities and some time ago he
went from Obion to Henry County and
bought farm near Paris and is now
having house built.
After the ceremony the happy couple
left for West Tennessee, where they will
visit relatives near Union City and Clay
ton. After January l Mr.. and Mrs.

BURDICK STATES CASE.
Got Reelfoot Injunction to Protect
Own Interests.

Hickman, KY, Nov. 27.-J. G.. Bur
dick, OF Union City, fifteen miles from
here, assumes the responsibility for the
serving Of the injunctions on eighteen
fishermen at Reelfoot Lake last week
He says that he had the injunction
issued to protect his interests. Mr.. Bur-
dick states that be is the valid and legal
lessee OF the Doherty grants fishing
rights; that these rights were acquired
from the West Tennessee Land Com
pany; that the Supreme Court Of Ten
nessee had decided that the title Of the
West Tennessee Land Company to the
Doherty grants was good and perfect,
and that, therefore, according to the
decree OF the Supreme Court, his lease
was good and valid, and that it was bis,
with all that belonged and attached to
it, and that not even the condemnation
proceedings instigated by the State
could affect his lease, and that he in
tended to defend his rights by law, if a
citizens rights could be defended by
law in a civilized land.
Under this statement it is evidently
the duty Of the fishermen of Reelfoot
Lake to stay off the Doherty grants
fishing grounds until either the State
buys out Mr.. Bnrdick' & lease or until
the expiration OF the lease, which Mr..
Burdick states will occur four years
from now.

The Divorce Question. "

William Anthony McGuire's play,
The Divorce Question" will be pro.
duced at Reynolds Theatre Wednesday,
Dec. 10, 1918, under the direction Of
the National Play Co.
This gripping play was one OF the
sensational successes of the past season
in Chicago, 125 performances being
given at McVicker's Theatre.
All intelligent people should be inter
ested in witnessing this great moral les
son. The play is strong yitriolic de-
nunciation OF modern conditions and
every word counts for its full value as
the story swings along to a big, startling
conclusion. 1t is merciless in its con-
domination of those guilty OF social
neglect, and there is no mistaking the
meaning Of the lines; they are at once
indomitable and brave.
The story of the play shows that pa
thetic phase OF life wherein children are
sacrificed to the selfishness OF divorce.
There is too much said about the duty
that children owe their parents far too
little is said regarding the obligation Of
the parents. No human being has the
right to become responsible for anoth-
er's existence and then create conditions
that ruin the life Of that other being.
A strong vibrating loving love story
runs throughout and pair Of youthful
lovers furnish abundant comedy.
