HUNDRED DREADNOUGHTS
BUILT IN EIGHT YEARS
Naval Powers Have Launched More
Than One Great Batt1eship
a Month.
LONDON, January /, 1914.

LONDON. January i. 1914.
The navies of the world have built 1Ol
battleships of the dreadnought type since
the British navy launched the original
Dreadnought Just eight years ago.
The passing Of the century mark came
with the recent launching Of the British
battle cruiser Tiger, and with that the
decision Of the British naval authorities
to build no more warships Of just that
type. It has been reported that the
smaller vessel more heavily armed Will
be the fashion during the next season OF
British naval designing.
The building OF 1O1 dreadnoughts IN
eight years means that an average OF
more than one Of these mammoth ships
month has been launched. The largest
contribution was made in 1911, when
eleven ships of the dreadnought type
were put afloat, including the four con-
tingent ships Of the British program OF
19O9-1O, and the two dominion battle
cruisers, built by Australia and New
Zealand.
The Tiger is the thirty-fourth British
ship Of the dreadnought type to be launch
ed, the order after this being Germany
twenty-five. the United States ten,
France seven, Italy six, Russia and Japan
five each. Austria and Brazil three each.
Spain and Argentina two each and Iur-
key and Chile one each. In 1911 England
possessed twenty-four Of the wofids
sixty-three dreadnoughts ahoat, while
now she has thirty-four in 101.

PLEA FOR ROOF GARDEN
ON BUREAU BUILDING
Representative Johnson of Wash
ington Would Favor the Gov
eminent Engravers.

Representative Albert johnson OF the
state of Washington has come forward
as champion OF the plan to have roof
garden on the new building of the bureau
of engraving and printing Employees OF
the bureau want the roof garden pro-
yided SO that they may use it at lunch
time, especially in bad weather, although
the controller of the Treasury has ruled
that the act of Congress authorizing the
building and outlining the furnishing
does not allow for the garden.
REPRESENTATIVE johnson was for many
Years a resident of this city before going

Of working and living conditions here
Will Introduce Resolution.
A roof garden such as is proposed IL
needed on that building" he said. aud
in view of the fact that the controller OF
the Treasury has decided that it cannot
be built as things stand, shall endeavor
10 have a resolution passed by Congress
authorizing this improvement.
IF couple of ornamental columns
were needed for the front OF the pulidlnS
they could be procured, but real neeo.
such as this proposed garden, cannot NC
had. according to the decision.
To my mind il stands to reason that
the government should make just such
an Improvement as is desired here, ana
believe that Congress will look upon the
proposition with favor"
MIR. johnson called attention to the
fact that the government approves the
action of big corporations throughout the
country in installing improvements for
creating better working and living con-
ditions for employees. and that now is the
right time for the national legislators 10
put themselves on record in favor of such
improvements in government buildings.
Instance of Bad Management.
For an example of the need for bet
ter housing conditions for government
employees continued Mr.. johnson. Il
have in mind one room of the Geological
Survey building, on street. This room
is located in an areaway, an inside room.

French Courts Decide Novel Point in
Case of Mile. Gina
Recamier.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


PARIS, January 4. 1914
The French courts decided in a recent
case that an actress may be restrained
from the use of an assumed name by its
real owner. She may not escape an in
junction even by changing the spelling Of
the name, as long as the pronunciation
is not altered by the change of spelling.
Mile. Gina. Recamier. noted as the ac-
tress with the most beautiful feet in
Paris. was sued by the descendants Of the
famous Mime. Recamier. Gen. Recamier
and DIR. Recamier. They successfully OBJ
tanned an injunction against Gina s use of
the name "Recamier." or even 'Recamie,'
on the ground that the leaving off of the
final .'r'' did not in French alter the pro-
nunciation of the name.
Mile. Recamier. whose real name is
Ageorges. explained in court that the
name had been suggested to her by
Andre de Fouquieres. who. while judging
beautiful feet competition, said, when
he saw Gina reclining on q couch, ''She
