NAME DISCOVERED

The man who is obliged to carry
around the longest name in Moline
has been found He is Stauros An
dreanopoulopoulos. and is employed at
the Republic Iron & Steel mills on
Sylvan island.
The name. which consists of 26 let
ters, is deemed as a jaw-breaker by
all who have heard it. Other names
in Moline among the natives of Greece
which sank into insignificance beside
that of Andreanopoulopoulo are Sa-

last word in American sea power, the
new British battleship Queen Eliza
beth will carry a more formidable ar
mament of eight 15-inch guns. This
sea fighter probably will be commits
stoned the first of next year.
The Nevada is a contemporary OF
the British warship Iron Duke. The
Iron Dukes displacement is 25,00s
tons and she carries ten 131a-inch
guns. The Nevada's speed is esti-
mated at 201a knots, or about the
same as the Iron Dukes. Although
the Nevadas armor is thicker than
that of her British contemporary, it
does not cover so great an area. The
British battleship has a secondary
battery of 16 six-inch guns, as COM
pared with the Nevada,s 81 five-inch
guns. Questions of distribution of
armor and the relative Importance of
the number and calibre of guns are
two problems oil which the naval ex-
perts of the world do not agree.
The Nevada will burn oil only. and
her engines will have an indicated
horsepower of 24,SO0 The oil will
be slowed in the double bottom of the
ship, thus saving space formerly &C.
cupied by coal bunkers. Her con-
tractors promised to have the Ne
vada completed next January.

Quincy. Mass, July 1S.-Thousands
of cheering spectators lined the
shores of the river and crowded every
vantage point about the yards when
the super-dreadnaught Nevada, Uncle
Sans latest sea fighter. was launched
here. A party of distinguished Off
cials. including Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. Governor eddie of Nevada,
Governor Walsh of Massachusetts.
and Senator Key Pittman of Nevada
occupied a special launching stand at
the bow of the ship.
Miss Eleanor Anne Siebert, eleven,
daughter of Frederic ]. Siebert of
Reno, New. and niece of Governor
Oddie. christened the big fighting ma
chine.
The Nevada and her sister ship, the
Oklahoma, which was foated at Phil
adelphia last March, surpass in ton

American warship now float The Ne
vada. however. is less formidable than
the Pennsylvania, whose keel was laid
last spring, and the unnamed sea
fighter. No. 80, both of which will
have displacement of 81 400 tons.

Illinois Towns.

Geneseo is one of eight Illinois
towns where construction work on new
postoffice buildings viii be started
within a few weeks. Secretary Nc
Adoo included the Geneseo building in
the list of appropriations which he
sent to the senate yesterday and asked
TO have the list inserted in the general
deficiency appropriation bill. He said
the department wished to begin work
on the buildings in the near future,
and these buildings have already been
authorized.
According to the list announced the
amount requested for the Geneseo
building is $4,000, which is to include
site and commencement of construc-
ton. Inasmuoh as commencement
only is mentioned the supposition is
that more money will be asked and
that a federal building entirely ade-
quate to Geneseo's needs will be the
result.

feet long and 80 feet 21s inches wide
on load water line.
Ten 14-inch guns, firing 1,400-pound
shells, will form her main battery.
She will have two three-gun turrets,
one of which will be on the fore
castle deck with a turret from which
two big guns will be pointed. An
other two-gun turret will sweep the
quarter deck and astern of this will
be another three-gun turret. The tur-
rets are arranged to make complete
revolutions, so that the entire bat
terry of the big guns can be concen-
trated on an enemy approaching from
either side, forward or aft.
Besides her 14-inch guns, the Ne
vada will have distributed about her
decks 81 five-inch guns and numerous
one-pounders, three-pounders, three
inch field pieces and machine guns.
The Nevada's armor belt is 1872
inches thick and will extend 400 feet
along either side of the hull. These
plates will run from eight and half
feet below the water line to nine feet
above the waters surface. There are
two protective decks as safeguard
against plungins fire, one three inches
and the other one and a half inches.

LITERARY NOTES.

f. w. Reynolds, the publisher, in
discussing Wholesome Fiction VS..
lScavenger Fiction" says: 1.-The Eyes
of the World is the greatest novel yet
written by the greatest author of this
deliberately, with the knowledge of
many years in the buying, selling and
publishing of books.
Prom the days of Decameron to the
present time, no writer of fiction has
made a record as enviable as the one
made-in scarcely more than ten years
by Harold Bell Wright. Some-of
:he present day, perhaps-have gained
more notoriety through the prostitu-
ton of their talents, but there is not
one who has so large a number of
readers. or whose books have an in
fiuence so wide and wholesome.
Books do not have to be unclean to
be interesting, nor do they have to be
embarrassing to be good literature
The 'high-brow' with an overbalanced
artistic sense who writes fiction with
his rules of English is on one hand and
his tea-table etiquette in the other, we
will have with us, always. But he will
do no harm beyond trying to cry down
the work of authors who write books
that are both interesting and whole
some-and good literature, Neither
will he do very much good so long as
people do not read his books and the
chance of their living beyond fort
night is no better than the chance that
his publishers will spend money on
them through advertising.
The author who said he would feel
disgraced il one of his books were to
sell 100000 copies has. certainly. a
very exalted opinion of himself. or he
has but little respect for the standards
of the reading public. We suppose a
single order for 100000 copies, from
one jobber. would give him mortifica-
ton of the heart Surely. he will never
set the world afire by doing anything
very bad. or anything very good. so
long as he scorns to see his name in
company with that of Sir Gilbert Park
er. Winston Churchill. Ralph Connor.
Gene Stratton- Porter and the names
of other worthy authors who have writ
ten several books that have sold be-
yond the 100000 mark and have been

CLAIMING PARTY
CAUGHT IN STORM
Eight Gasoline Launches Sink
in Mississippi River
Near Moline.

Clammers from Hampton we're heavy
losers and had a narrow escape when
caught in the storm of Thursday on
the Mississippi river near Moline. OF
the nine gasoline launches in the fleet,
eight were sunk, and only the fact that
the occupants of the boats were near
shore enabled them to escape with
their lives.
Damage to the boats was confined to
breaking of parts of the engines. Four
of the boats were filled with mud,
making their recovery more difficult.
The ninth boat only partially filled
with water and did not sink. All of
the boats were raised yesterday and
brought back TO Hampton.

claiming found a pair of trousers in
which was a valuable gold watch

EAST MOLINE MAN
ANOTED INVENTOR
Andrew Kapantais Has Arti-
fetal Hand Which Is Mas
terpiece of Science.

Fame and fortune may be in store
for Andrew Kapantais, Greek resi-
dent of East Moline. as the result of
an invention which he has just COM
pleted and which, members of the
medical profession claim, is "a master
piece. The invention is an artificial
hand for those, who have been unfor-
tunate enough to lose their members,
and is so made that every finger can
be put to use and moved almost as
though it were the real hand. A local
physician claims that he is willing to
invest $4,000 in the invention, pro-
viding the patent can be secured and
a company to manufacture the same
formed. Kenworthy & Kenworthy of
Rock Island are the patent attorneys
for the inventor.
