Thus Yankee genius gave to the world
the two great inventions destined to
revolutionize warfare-the steam man-of-
war and the aeroplane.
June 90 1914, when America was
busting with the excitement of a real
war-when our plucky ancestors were ad-
ministering their second trouncing to a
first-class fighting power-the keels OF
the worlds first steam warship were

and their surname was Brown. Their
shipyard was one of the sights of New

Demologos was the terrible name

Some preferred to call her the Full
ton. her inventor was none less
than the famous Robert Fulton, in
ventor of the first successful steam
boat.
During the year 1913 Fulton had
patented Some submarine torpedoes, or
guns fired under water. These sub
marine guns he had called "colum-
biads' and it was while designing for
them special vessel. propelled by
steam. that he conceived the plans of
Demologos.
The British fleet was lowering about
the port of New York. whose residents
broke out in goose-flesh whenever
they thought of the unprotected con-
dition of the harbor. Hence. when Full

away most Of the time.
But they don't seem to have much
chance Of ever swinging the majority
over to their way of thinking. The reply
is that Ii there was no way of reguat-
ing absent votes. especially on party mat
tiers. the administration might find itself
caught in a trap because Of the negli-
gence of its own adherents. A demo-
cratic measure, for instance, might be
damaged or delayed through the inability
of the majority leaders to corral enough
votes to carry 1t through. This. of course
is rather far fetched. because a point OF
no quorum undoubtedly would prevent a
sudden victory for the opposition.

There was a member Of Congress who
had paired himself with pleasure-loving

friend had things pretty soft in his own

Congress Of the United States should
gum up his summer vacation. So as
soon rs he had his colleague safely pair

Meantime the congressman who had
remained in Washington showed up at
his resk every day. And that was about
all the good it did him. He couldn't vote
on nearly all Of the bills. Things were
close in his district. The people wanted
to get action from their representative.
The stay-at-home stood their comment

the vacationist long and burning letter.

a source of constant terror to himself
This man was paired on a certain
resolution on which vote was about

into the senator's eye. He kept gazing
around as If he was searching for some-
