CRUISER OLYMPIA TO CO
TO FRISCO EXPOSITION
Secretary Daniels Decides Ship
Shall Share Honors With
Battleship Oregon.

In arranging for an interesting naval
display at the Panama-Pacif1c exposi-
ton at San Francisco next year Secre-
tary Daniels has decided that the old
cruiser Olympia shall share honors
with the battleship Oregon. and that
Admiral George Dewey, like Rear Ad-
miral Charles E. Clark, shall have op-
portunity again to stand on the bridge
from where he directed the fighting in
1898.
Neither Admirals Dewey nor Clark
has visited his ship since they relin-
quished their commands shortly after
the close of the Spanish American war
Rear Admiral Clark already has been
invited to command the Oregon at the
head of the American Navy and the
visiting squadrons of the world on the
trip from Hampton roads through the
Panama canal and up to San Fran
cisco. On the Oregon will be the Presi-
dent, Secretary Daniels and other cabi-
net members.
Secretary Daniels will extend a
formal invitation to Admiral Dewey
also to make this cruise, or at any
rate to visit the Olympia at San Fran
cisco.
Represent Fighting Vessels.
The Oregon and Olympia will repre-
sent the best fighting vessels of the
days of the Spanish-American war.
while behind them will be representa-
tives of every type of vessel that would
be called upon to fight in case of war
today. The Oregon and Olympia will
be moored at specially constructed
wharf, to be used as exhibit ships
throughout the entire exposition. With
them will be anchored seven of the
most modern fighting ships, each the
best of its particular type. They will
consist of a dreadnought of the New
York or Oklahoma type. a battleship
Of the Connecticut or Minnesota type.
an armored cruiser of the Tennessee or
Montana type. one of the three scout
cruisers and a destroyer. submarine
and collier, each of the latest build.
In addition to those the entire Allan
tic fleet will remain at the exposition
for several weeks.

Are Given Responsibility.

Miss Norton and Miss Farley both be-
Eeve in allowing the children to assume
responsibilities and to this principle they
attribute much of the success of the
center. For instance, in school sewing
classes small children are taught only
to make few stitches on one small piece,
of cloth. In the sewing classes at Grover
Cleveland center they are given cloth to
cut out and make entire garments for
themselves. At home they are not allow
ed to cut out the goods for fear they
will spoil the cloth. And they take keen
enjoyment and pride in making garments
for themselves or for their little brothers
and sisters They are also allowed to run
the sewing machine just as though they
were grown-up young women. They ap-
preciate the responsibility and trust and
are very careful to do as little damage as
possble
Material for these classes is furnished
by some of the large department stores.
One store alone gave the center 100 yards
Of cloth last year. There are four sew
ing machines also contributed. The class
es last year turned out nearly 100 gar
ments. including boys suits, dresses, XII
monos blouses, waists, etc. Some moth
ers have Joined the classes and some
have used those at the school to make
| very pretty little dresses for their chill

He isn't anxious to sell his rice in the Tough, and intimated he would mil on toll, then dispose of the clean rice to jobbers.
