PLAYING THE GAME OF WAR.

American dreadnoughts are un-
|equalled the world over, but we ean-
not risk the honor of the Stars and
Stripes by placing unskilled players
In command of the game. We must
train our leaders. and 1t is for this
that weather-beaten old captains

War College at Newport. Rhode
Island.

destrcyers and submarines. To the
visitor. the sight of a score of men
on Bonded knees. moving miniature
ships about in an apparently aim
less manner. gives the impression
that they have reverted 10 childhood.
The game table is 20 feet square
and is marked off In inches. each
square inch represents a square
mile. The board represents a por-
ton of the oceans surface 240 miles
square. Steel pins with colored flags
run through the tiny slips of painted
wood. serve to hold the toys in any
desired position on the table. Bat
tleships are indicated by blue flags:

The American fleet is represented BIZ
toy ships tinted blue. while the
enemy is represented by red.
IF the toy fleet steams at any
given number of knots. the distance
that Ii moves over the game board
can be measured from a scale with
out computation. The headway lost
by a ship when turning Is also COM
puted on the scale. A stick. 40
inches long. divided into units repre-
senting 500 yards each-one inch
representing a mile-is used to de-
termine the distance between minia-

cred, becomes a gateway for the en-
trance of germs of various kinds into
the body. Thus. the use of ice water
renders the body susceptible to var
ious germ diseases.
Drinking ice water when there is
food in the stomach is even more
harmful than drinking it on an empty
stomach. Ice water taken with a
meal or while a meal Is being digest
ed chills the stomach and stops the
secretions of the digestive fluids,
this delays and frequently prevents
digestion. When digestion is de-
layed the food ferments and decom-
poses; IL Is changed to a poisonous
mass. To get rid of such a meal the
body frequently sets up a diarrhea.
IN this way ice water Is one of the
eommonest causes for our summer
diarrheas.
Irritation of the stomach from eat
ting too much heavy food in hot
weather. especially meats. brings
about an unquenehable thirst direct
ly following a heavy meal. which
often leads people to deluge the
stomach with ice water. The less
heavy food We eat in hot weather the
less desire will we have for ice wa

brought into ruinous competition
With the cheapest products of the
world.
The abuse of the American farmer
is illustrated by an exchange which
tells of the whipping boy"
Back in the days when the mon
arehs of the world had fooled the
people into believing that kings were
kings by divine right" IL was Grim
inal TO e think of Furnishing a
youthful prince. no matter how bad
he might be. But princes were bad,
just as other boys are bad. There
was no use denying it for they smash
ed windows and stoned the chickens
and fought and sneaked off to 60 in
swimming. and they stole the royal
cooks royal cookies and pulled the
royal tails of the royal eats royal
kittens. Take II all together, they
were as royalty mischieyous as plain
boys were plain misehievous. And
they sure did need a ROYAL licking,
one in a while. But that couldn't be,
YOU know. II would be criminal. So
the wise men and politicians raeked
their brains to figure out a way of
Furnishing a royal child without liz
yolving his royal body. They finally
worked out the problem by providing
a whipping boy"
All the whipping boy. had to do
was to hang around when the royal
little rascal committed his deyilment.
Then the royal chastisers took the
whipping boy" and larrupted him
instead of the prince and they invited
the prince to look at the whipping.
You've been naughty. your high
ness" they would say. and thwack.
thwaek. would go the stick on the
whipping boys hide. when you
promise to be good. We will quit wal
'oping this here whipping boy"
Makes you smile, doesn't 1t? Think
of anyone being so absurd as to whip
one boy to make another be good.
Don't smile too quickly. They are
still applying the hickory to the
w hipping boy" only these days he
isn't a boy, He's a man and there
are a good many millions of them.
They are called the American far
mers.
The farmer is the national whip
ping boy" He suffers for the ma
tional mistakes. for he is the great
original producer and feels first the
effects of national errors. If the poll
~ticians bungle. the farmer pays the
price.

convinced that the powerful prohi-
bitlon organization that recently has
been cemented together was deter
mined to close every locker club and
saloon in the city, and in a spirit
of awe they are watching for the
court action which the prohibition
leaders declare will win them success
Their appeal rejected by the City
Council, the militant prohibitionists

of Atlanta, and Seaborr Wright, the
famous prohibition fighter of Rome
Ga, have turned to Solicitor Hugh
Dorsey and the Grand Jury. If the
desired action is not secured there
appeals will be made to a Superior
Court judge for injunctions.
One Victory Key to All.
Indications are that the advice OF
Attorney Wright that the most prom
inent clubs be the center of attack
will be taken. If they win their fight
against one prominent club the pro-
hibitionists feel that none of the
others will hold out
Participants in this struggle are re-
luctant to speak of the details OF
their moves, other than to say that
they will run the whole gamut OF
political and legal means of stopping
what they consider violations of the
law.
Members of Council declared Wed
nesday that they considered the whole
matter out of their hands for the
present They admit they have been
liberal in granting locker club Ii
censes, one new club license having
been granted and all but one old
club having had it's license renewed
Alderman Albert Thomson expressed
the views of the members who sym
pathize with the law enforcement
propaganda.
Council Passes Responsibility.
Z Council has licensed clubs to run
only as legal clubs" he said IF
they are violating the law it is the
duty of other officials to stop them
Council will not consider any in
reference with the sale of near
beer until the time for renewal of
licenses comes up in July. In the
face of all of the attacks a large
majority of the members do not hes
itate to say they are satisfied with
the general conduct of saloons.
The move for court action threat
ems an upheaval of the whole pro-
hibition status; and should it prove
successful the duty of readjustment
would fall upon Council.
