BATTLesHiP NEW YORK

NEW YORK. April S.-Tne huge battleship New York. the most terri. ble engine of destruction ever built In a United States navy yard, was for mally placed in commission today The event was attended with simple but impressive ceremonies A largo crowd visited the New York Navy yard. to witness the exercises A mighty cheer burst from the throats of the spectators as the Stars and Stripes were raised Co the masthead of the new dreadnought. The officers and crew were mustered on deck while the commander read the or ders placing the vessel in commission The ships band played the Star Spangled Banners and the ceremonies were concluded with the customary salute
 Within a cable's length of the New York lay her sister ship, the great battleship Texas, which recently ar rived at the navy yard from the yards of hers builders at Newport News 10 receive the final touches necessary for her absolute completion.
 Not only in size but in calibre oi the guns comprising their main bat teries are the New York and Texas the most formidable battleships ever built, Up to the present time the 13 inch gun, which has not been use0 on any of the newer ships of the navy has been the limit in callbre of naval guns. The New York and Texas. how ever, will each carry ten l4inch guns mounted two 10 a turret. and ar ranged that all of them can be fired in broadside. or forward. or aft, a, the same time.
 The arrangements of three turrets aft and two forward of the bridge is the work of the Naval Construction Corps of the United States Navy. Great Britain has followed this de- sign in her newest dreadnoughts, and this is considered one of the highest compliments ever paid American de. signers and constructors.

TANGO HARVEST

Any who thinks that the entrancing tango is without practical value to other than the princeypaid teachers should harken to the joyful announcement made by the manufacturers of corsets
 How tango has blessed the corset manufacturers and hit the dealers by the sudden shift of fashion gleefuy told in millions of dollars by Chicago GUS to trade as the automobile. but nowhere is its path plain in the sales. There has been such sudden and complete revolution in styles as has been brought about by the present for dancing" expert said. "The output of the corset making plants will be between sssOOOOOO and slOoOOs GOO this year. and than 75 per cent Of these goods will be radically different in shape material and garnture from any corset in our stock year ago Only the very cheapest grades selling very little above cost of production. practically unchanged" All this change has swept the value of millions of corsets of old styles of architecture which were thrown into the discard The waste is chargeabe to the tango craze along with lessons at s30 per and society dancing" in vaudeville at s75O week The corset of today practically grde. but manufactur CTS are trying make 1t The fact that there

THROWING WIDE THE DOORS

In view of the tactics of obstructionists in drawing
 red herring the trail the tolls exemption troversy it is an excellent decision that prompts the holding public hearings in the matter None may then charge that whatever result is had the of star chamber proceedings If attitude of the house be taken barometer the fortune of the the upper house will rise to even higher degrees of appreciation.
 The lower house spoke with uncertain voice in re- sponse to President Wilson's plea for support Four hundred and eight of its 4S5 members present and voting Eighteen out of the total 29O and ten Republicans out of l27 absent
 The repeal had 42 votes more than a bare majority. While the aid of two Progressves and 25 Republicans greatly appreciated by Administration forces Democratic votes which would alone have car ried the question by majority of S2 and Repub- and Progressive who voted with the 52 Democrats who opposed the Administration.
 This vote of the Democratic forces is the sig nihcant when stop to remember that Speaker Clark and Majority Leader Underwood both opposed the bill and that these two belongs the greater part of the credit of taking and faction-torn minority few since, and building 1t up irresistible fighting force No other Democrats in either House compare with these personal prestige Yet they able to line but bare 17 per cent of the House Democracy against the Administration although the taken after address by the Speaker in which his opponents the treated with the courtesy and good spirit and the loyalty of his colleagues appealed to in moving terms.
 It has been declared that Democratic solidarity would go to wreck on the tolls issue the contrary that issue has supplied the convincing proof o party solidarity It has shown the forces of the Admin istraton able easily to dominate the field, without laid from the enemy in spite of the best efforts of the two strongest Democrats in the House
 The lesson of this is twofod. It shows the hold which the President has Congress and public sen tment generally And shows that the American people may be ndorse the right thing and do tho right thing in a which reduces Itself to barc moral issue. The American people has decided tha free and open the vessels of all nations terms entire equality" that there shall be discrmina

 And the House of Representatives reflects the sent ment of the people.

PHOENIX SUN FETE TO BE CELEBRATED
 BY NATIVE ACTORS
INDIAN MUSICIANS PLAYING OLD TIME INSTRUMENTS AND WEAR.
 ING AZTEC HABiLIMENTs

PHOENIX, April s.--Native Indian musicians playing on the old-time in struments of their tribes will lead the great Aztec Sun Fete Parade in Phoenix on April 16. Instruments that have made music in the weird cliff homes of the Hopis and tribe of the North will blend their notes Navajo will be present with his ad- dltion to the music and every tribe at present in Arizona will be called upon to add to the importance of the oc- casion.
 Fitting 1t is that with this music of the Indians should be the choir that the Franciscan Padres will have with their section The model of Tuna cacari Mission, the oldest mission in Arizona, will be represented in the parade of the Sun Fete. The model will carry score or more of trained voices that will chant sacred songs Last year the modelI6f the San Xavier Mission was used in tho parade. Other musical numbers will include the fam ous band from the United States h. dian school at Phoenix, as we'll as the First Regiment Band, probably the best in Arizona today.
 Other features interesting. unique and splendid are getting into shape ana every effort Is being strained Co make the parade spectacle that will delight the onloolJers Phoenix will be in gala attire for the event and April t6 will zee the Capital City full oi visitors from all parts.
 The guard that surrounds the royal float during the fete will represent the escort which surrounded the Aztec king whenever he was taken about his own city a prisoner of the invaders Ridged steel helmets. long straight swords. steel breastplates and riveted hack pieces were the chief armour of the soldiers of Spain. They had in their company men armed with muskets and some pieces of cannon. But the most brilliant sights were the fifteen or so mounted men. chargers Drancing. armour polished to a mirror like surface and jaunty bearing Of the men of steel who in spite of then faults were Q splendid example of what courage and determination can |, do. Gathering the horses and men for these positions in the Sun Fete parade fig no small task but 1t is being under taken with a vil and and the result on April Ia wll he delight to the thousands who will be in the Capital City to see the spectacle.

A DAYS BOARD.

In spite of present high prices day laborer can be fed abundanty 20 cents worth of food day. do mestic science class at the Kansas Agricultural College planned and cooked the meals which prove this. And the imaginary laborer of your little men, either but hardworing, sinewy person, weighing l65 pounds who gets down in a ditch and shoves dirt all day
 'l you could have seen and smelled those meals aft CT the girls got them the table you wouldn't have believed that they cost so ittle said Miss Ida Rgney the instructor charge of the class "As for quantity know there was as much as any would want to eat"
 Here is what girl served for breakfast, at cost of cents: Rolled oats with skinned milk. German friend potatoes. liver graham bread butter and coffee with skinned milk and sugar. For dinner she spent 8 cents and had the following: Meat pie-the meat was taken from the neck beef-baked potatoes hominy, bread with oleomargarine prunes and conee. Supper cost cents consisted of rce potatoes baked beans. sausage. apple sauce bread and oleomargarne Chemists nave proven by experimenting with large ditch dggers that the daily food re- qurements is 34Oo calores. By the "caore value of food is the amount of heat given off by any given food substance if it is completely combust ed within the body this heat that the bcvy energy is derived This 34O0 calores the scientists de- cided is best furnished by Al of protein 34l ounces of fat and 15S7 of carbohydrates. The college girls in planning their meals were required to 34OO caores of food and have the correct propo tions of protein and fat and carbohydrates. ! "on 20 cents day the meals cannot be varied very much from one day to another" said of the young women "The foods necessarily must remain quite sim liar with some chance for variety in the method of preparation experimenting with the same laborer on 40 cents day we find the greatest advantage is in n larger choice of foods If variety is the spice of life then 40 he gets spice"

EXPENSIVE TALK

Worldwide interest has been aroused by the an nouncement that William Marconi is perfectng an in- ven,on by which will be possible telephone across the Atlantic would appear to the laymen that this achievement will prove of greater continental than com mercaI value Instead Of transmitting message through the cold medium of the cable-or wireless it will doubtless be nice for those who can afford it to adjust and hearken to the voice of ones wife sweetheart or friend For such pursuits, trans Atlantic telephony will be boon
 Mir Marconi snys he has yet tried talking across the ocean by telephone. but he expects to try as soon as he thinks the science is sufficiently advanced He does not believe that the commercial possibilities of acrossocean telephony nearly those of acrossocean wireless telegraphy.
 "At most" he says, Eve cannot talk more than a hundred words a minute the telephone, whereas we can send two hundred words minute by wireless telegraphy."
 Mir Marconi hazards the opinion that telephoning fcross the Atlantic would cost at the rate of ten dol lars a minute No doubt there are many people who would patronize the transatlantic telephone line at thin rateeharge but for practical purposes the great ma iori,y would utilize some other form of communication
Bisbee daily review., 1914-04-09

1, Ia more than probable that flow years hence one may telephone around the world if he Is SO disposed and has the price There is advance in electrical invention and the field is prolific in possibilities.
 Marconi and other inventors are experimenting with wireless telephony and out of their experiments some thing practical doubtless will be evolved The marvel. improvement in methods of communication that has taken place within the last two three decades prob. ably has been notable than will be the improve. ments of the future This is the electrical and the efforts of the famous pioneers of invention being supplemented by those of asprants for wealth and fame a consequence of electrical endcavor and in. genuity
 Some of the Marconi experiments have been unduy exaggerated. Mir Marcon himself says he has talked by wireless telephone distance of slightly than fory-fve miles has tried nothing beyond that dis ance he is after reliability rather than ongdstance records That the ng-distance records will be at ained in time seems entirely possible.

"I was once coming from Liverpool upon one of the famous liners" said the late Bishop Potter. and although the sky was clear and the weather warm a somewhat tempestuous sea had occasioned more than the usual amount of seasickness among the pas sengers. As l paced the deck one af- ter noon noticed lady reclining up. On one of the benches, and the un- usual pallor of her face and the hope less languidity of her manner indi- cated that she had reached that state of collapse which marks the limit of se8sickness
 Touched by this piteous spectacle and approaching the poor creature, in my most compassionate tone asked: Madam, can l be of any service to vou?"
 "She did not open her eyes. but heard her murmur faintly: I thank you, sir. but there is nothing you can do-nothing at all
 "'At least, madam. said l tender ly, permit me to bring you a glass of water
 "She moved her head feebly and answered.: No. thank you-nothins at all
 "'But your husband. madam said '. the gentlemen lying there with his head in your lap-shall l not bring omething to revive him?'
 
 "The lady again moved her head feebly. and again she murmured faintly and between gasps: Thank YOU. sir, ut-he-is-not- my-hus' hand I-dnn'f-knnW-W he iSl' :"
