ARMOR PLATE INVENTION
MEANS LIGHTER WARSHlPS
Will Reduce Weight from 10 to
20 Per Cent and Make
for More Speed.
N Cable % M TrIbune

London, Feb. ia young Sheffield
engineer, William Henley Worrall has
just announced the discovery Of a new
method Of making armor plate which,
it is declared, will reduce the weight OF
battleships from 10 to 20 per cent,
while at the same time increasing their
prospective efficiency. Some plates
manufactured by Worralrs process
have already been tested, and it is
stated that an eight-inch plate resisted
a 14-inch shell which would have
pierced ordinary armor of the same
thickness. The Admiralty is under
stood to be negotiating with Worrail.
The invention consists Of the m0dl-
fcation Of the whole process Of making
armor plate, starting with the ingot'
which goes through notifications III
the rolling mills and then requires
different heat treatment from that pro-
~vided i'm the existing furnaces. Ordi-
nary armor plate has hardened BACK
and front and soft core Worraii 5
plate consists Of many small plates
hardened and bonded together so that
the core OF the plate contains layers OF
steel as hail as the surface.
The saving in thickness on the heaNE
plate the inventor claims to be 20 per
cent. When the plate is in position on
the battlcship there will be a net weight
in saving of - per cent. This wouid
mean an appreciate increase IN Dat'ie-

Ostrich farms have grown within recent

Dame Fashion is placing much
stress on the Importance of having
smart footgear this season. The lat
est novelty for wearing with street
dresses is the doeskin gaiter dyed to
match the costume. Some women
even prefer to have their CATERS made
of ribbed silk.
The most dressy shoes are in pat

white doeskin shoe with only the

style is more original than attractive.
