In the sea fights which the war
ships of Great Britain and France
will engage in against Germany the
various engines of war will receive a
supreme test, says the Army and
Navy Journal.
Claims and controversies which
have engaged the attention of naval
experts for many years regarding
ships, guns, armor, etc, may at last
be settled in the greatest naval fights
in all history. There will be the
question of the big battleship against
the smaller, the armored cruiser, or
battle cruiser, against the unarmored
cruiser, and oil fuel against coal. The
important question of fleet COM
munication by day and night and
the increased use of wireless will be
among the important elements of the
struggle. Then the battle airships,
mine laying and scouting airships,
seaplanes and aeroplanes will be
given ample opportunity of demon
strating their value, but, as we have
stated many times previously, we be-
lieve their principal value will be for
observation. The anti-aircraft guns
aboard ship and the aircraft guns
will probably come into play and the
various auxiliary vessels and turbine
engines will receive the most severe
test.
The torpedo-boat destroyer class of
vessels particularly, and also the sub
marines, are expected to play a far
more important part in this war than
they did in the Russo-Japanese war.
In the British navy no less than
twenty new destroyers were commits
stoned last year, against fifteen the
previous year. Most of these vessels
have length of 26o feet, and most of
them have a speed of over 29.5 knots.
In the design of British destroyers
special regard Is given to the attain
ment of high speed on heavy seas.

showed this divine longing when he
applied for a chance to ring the acad-
envy bell and sweep the floors in ex-
change of tuition, when he cut wood
for fifty days in order to make few
dollars to pay his way at school 1t
was this hunger for advancement,
this thirst for learning which gave to
Governor Brooks courage to carry
his trunk on his back a long distance
to the station on his way to college.
1t was this hunger which induced
President Wilson to read a thousand
borrowed volumes during his odd mo-
ents on the farm.
1t is this spirit of aspiration and
achievement which has characterized
every notable American. To resolute-
ly aim high, never to lose sight of
your purpose, or abate your effort to
attain 1t, to make the best of the
stun" that is in you, irrespective of
what others are doing or have done,
is very near approach to genius,
and it is this kind of effort and ac-
ton that has wrought almost every
thing which is known as a work of
genius.
Regard yourself as a power in the
world. The habit of looking upon
yourself as a positive force in the
world, as counting for something, as
standing for something, as carrying
weight in your community, is tre-
mendous factor in a great career.
l know people who always think of
themselves as weak, or not amount
Ing to much. They seem to take 1t
for granted that they are not going
to cut much of figure in the world,
and, of course, they never do. There
is everything in assuming the part
we play, and if we wish to play the
part of strong, vigorous character
we must assume the part at the out
set, and live up to the character in
every action. Never act like a weak,
meek nobody. You will find won
derful uplifting effect in just holding
strong, vigorous, creative mental
attitude, in going about as though
you were already accomplishing
things, as though you were a man of
authority and weight in the world,
as though you were an obstacle-re-
moving force and conquering power.

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
AUGUST ~
Eeanore of Bulgaria, Emily chubbuck Judson
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Copyrighted 1914

Queen Eleanore of Bulgaria, who
celebrates her flfty-fourth birthday
today, will probably have little heart
for birthday festivities. She was the
daughter of Henry ~. of Reuess-
Kostriz, and married Ferdinand,
Moro King of Bulgaria. when she was
forty and he was a widower of
thirty-nine.
Emily Chubbuck Judson is distin-
guished as having been the third wife
of the great Baptist missionary, An
donorim Judson. She was known
before her marriage chiefly by her
pen name-"Fanny FORESTER" Her
childhood was spent in dire poverty,
and at the age of twelve she went
to work in wooden mill, where for
twelve hours of labor a day she re-
ceived a dollar and twenty-five cents
a week!
Somehow young Emily Chubbuck
managed to get an education. and
when she was fifteen years old she
became teacher in Utica, N. Y.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-08-22

After several years of teaching she
turned her attention to writing.
About this time Andonorim Judson
was returning from Burmah. Sarah
Judson, his second wife. died on the
return trip and one of the first things
he did when he arrived in New York,
was to secure the services of Fanny
FORESTER" in writing a biography and
appreciation of the good wife who
had just died. In this work Judson
and Miss Chubbuck were drawn into
such close sympathy that they de-
cided to be married and, because
Judson had to return to Burmah be-
fore the year was out, the marriage
took place somewhat sooner than
would have otherwise been the case.
In Burmah Mr.. Judson and his
young wife continued the good work
that he had been so long carrying on.
Four years later Judson died, and
within a few years Mrs. Judson sue
cumbed to the effects of her pri-
vations in Burmah and her childhood
poverty.

What the Barometer shows.

From Answers.
Do you properly understand a ba-
rometer? Many people tap the glass,
note a rise or fall, say 1t will there
fore be wet or fine, and there end.
But there's more in barometrical sci
ence than that. The following key
might be cut out for reference:
A steady rise shows that fine
weather may be expected, and, in
winter, frost. rapid rise indicates
unsettled weather. Fine weather i'm
mediately after a rise must not be
expected to last. The barometer oft
en- rises from northward change in
the wind. A fall of half tenth
or more in an hour is a sure warning
of a storm A fall with a slow Their
mometer foretells snow or rain. With
a rising temperature, wind or rain
from the south.
A fall in winter indicates warmer
weather; in hot weather, thunder.
Fine weather may occur with low
glass, but it precedes wind or rain.
The rise or fall of barometer rath-
er than it's absolute height shows an
approaching change, so the usual
words, Fair" Change" etc, cam
not always be depended on. The rise
from a low point indicates the close
approach Of gales.

The books offered for sale are much
more varied than might be expected.
Some hucksters specialize in cheap
paper editions of popular novels, 9TH
ers use their limited counter space
only for school books, while often the
most serious classics may be culled
from these collections.

Mr.. Shapiro was just about to sign
the document when he thought that
there was a great resemblance be-

good measure. Investigation shows,
however, that in the Honor Camps Of

$2.56 and this has been without the

AIDES. The law provides that all con.

placed on road work and the best e.

Of officials who know, is that it will

Added to this Is the fact that 1t means
the abandonment Of the jute mill at

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE,
DECEPTIVE PROVISION OF PRO

There are people who believe in

deeply the Taxpayer is stung to meet
any deficit caused by the elimination
OF license as source of income to
municipalities, counties and state.
They believe they are MORALLY right,
and they have perfect right to that
opinion. There are others, and many,
who favor prohibition, but will hest
tate to endorse any undetermined meth
cd to bring about that end. There
seems to be two sides to the moral
feature of this proposed measure, if
statement that appears in the Ia
coma Ledger is correct. 1t looks as
though the trainers of initiative No. 8
have used deception in presenting the
issue before the people, and if they
have done so it is OILY further evidence
that men will stoop to anything in or
