The mere fact that modern de
stroyer is three or four times as large
as one of the earlier boats renders it
so much more seaworthy and capable
of carrying so much more fuel that
the radius of action of torpedo boat
craft has been enormously increased,
and they have become more and more
dangerous to an enemy's feet.
The duties of a modern fiotilla may
be tabulated in this way:
First.-Scouting This comprises To-

Second Protection of ones own deet

hostile torpedo craft, but if necessary,
attacking them with your guns and
sinking or driving them away before
they can force home an attack against
battleships.

is, of course, the paramount duty of

A real live boss has been dis
covered in Hamilton. The boss of
the Churngold Butter store on Ri
ley Street wanted to know of his
lady clerk Miss Helen Flynn, how
the Clerks Union was progressing.
She informed him that they were
receiving some new members and
that the clerks now have a contest
on, and that she was captain Of one
of the sides. The boss realizing
that business in his store was not

Miss Flynn off for the balance Of

get some more new members. This
