''Mother's Friend" 1t Is a penetrating
liquid and many and many a mother tells
how 1t so wonderfully aided them through
the period of expectancy. It's chief pur-
pose is 10 render the tendons. ligaments
and muscles so plant that natures ex-
pansion may be accomplished without the
intense strain so often characteristic Of
the period of expectancy.
Mothers Friend may therefore be
considered as indirectly having a splendid
influence upon the early disposition Of
the future generation.
Whatever induces to the ease and COM
fort of the mother should leave its impress
upon the nervous system of the baby.
At any rate it Is rea 'onable to believe
that since Mothers Friend" has been a
companion to motherhood for more than
half a century 1t must be remedy that
women have learned the great value Of.

Fifth Avenue "Mausoleum Lane"

New York, Dec. Fifth avenue is
famous the world over as the finest
street in America, but lately it has
been renamed "Mausoleum Lane"
With the exception of few weeks in
the winter, too many of its doors are
boarded up and too many of its win
dows are dark. Many of the show
places OF the avenue are dark year in
and year out. OF course, the finer
ones house the less he lives in it. But
when one hears Fifth avenue called
the finest residence street in the coun-
try, one is inclined to think that the
most attractive homes are not the
biggest and costliest, but the ones
people live in.

The insstence of members from
the south on cotton legislation will be
a factor, and it is likely that some
of them will not be tractable toward
other bills if no relief for the cotton
interests is voted.
Other measures that may or may
not furnish fodder for the congress-
ional mill at the present session, all
depending upon the time at hand,
are various labor bills. the prohi
bition amendment, immigration meas
ures, and rural credits bills.
This being merely the continuation
of an existing congress, there will be
no work of organization called for
on Monday. Following a little pre-
liminary routine and the presentation
of the presidents message, both
houses will enter upon the real bus
mess at hand without delay. Then
the country can watch them thrust
and parry and intermittently legis
late for the next three months, bar
ring the time of recess over the
Christmas holidays.
President Wilson will follow the
precedent he set at the beginning of
his term, by reading his message
before the Two houses. The message
will be short and will give attention
only to the biggest national problems.
Matters coming wholly within the
scope Of the various departments Will
be dealt with in reports to be pre-
sented by the heads of the depart
ments at a later date.

KNOX REPRESENTS THAW
IN EXTRACTION CASE

Washington, Dec. 5.-Philander c.
Knox, former secretary of state, ap-
reared in the supreme court today
as an attorney for Harry X. Thaw
by filing brief in behalf of the
celebrated defendant in opposition
to the state of New Yorks proposal to
eXtradite Thaw from New Hampshire
Mr.. Knox contends that Thaw has
been adjudged insane by the New
York courts and not responsible for
the killing of Stanford White, and
that it is a fundamental principle of
law that eXtradition proceedings may
not be used for any other purpose
than to return a fugitive criminal to
trial.

FINAL SESSION..

Washington, Dec. 5.-Victors and
vanquished in the recent senatorial
and congressional elections are troop
ing into Washington today in readi-
ness for the final session of the
Sixty-th congress, which will be-
gin at noon Monday Outward and
visible signs are abundant that long
hours of hard work are in store for
members of both ends Of the capitol
this winter. Many night sessions
will be held Both houses will sit
six days each week. Indications are
the holidays vacation will be made
brief. Some talk is heard of cutting
it out entirely, but this probably will
be found impracticable.
1t is to be an important session,

tion is expected in the brief period

ations bring it to an end and turn
many of its members back into pri
vate life. Permeating it all will be
skirmishing for political advantage in
the 1916 presidential campaign. In
dications are that the house particu-
larly will be the scene of some lively
proceedings.
The appropriation bills will be
passed, if all goes well. There is
no dearth of other important meas
ures awaiting onsideration-many of
them of considerable national con-
cern. But it would be a physical i'm
possibility. Notwithstanding the eff
fort that Is to be made to hasten the
passage OF the regular supply ap-
preparation bills, to get the decks
cleared in time TO transact much gen.
eral legislation before the gavel falls
at noon or the 4th of March. even
of there was a desire.
Realizing the difficulties of the sit
uation, democratic leaders in both
houses and the administration will
bend their energies towards eXpe-
diting the appropriations. 1t will be
the policy to force these through the
house as rapidly as possible, send
them to the senate, get them acted
upon by the appropriations commit
tees, and hasten them to enactment.
However, granting the most opti-
mistic hopes of eXpediting business,
there are several meritorious meas
ures, many of them well considered,
upon which the discussion has pro
ceeded until both houses are suffic-
iently well informed to vote, which
will not be reached at all this ses-
sion. Hanging in the balance is the
fate of the Philippine bill, the ship
purchase bill and conservation legs-
lation, all of which are specially de-
sired by the administration.

legislation is to be renewed where
it was abandoned following the de-
feat of the $53,OOO.OOO bill in the re-

Admiral Strauss Report.


1.-The fifty-eight longrange torpe-
does, so often referred to as the only
ones the navy possesses, are of the
21-inch 2l-fOot type, and there is no
ship in the United States navy yet in
commission that is prepared to take
them. They were manufactured for
new construction beginning with the
Nevada and Oklahoma, and these two
ships will not go into commission un-
til about the end of next year Their
long range is obtained by an Increase
in length over existing types and no
ship prior to the Nevada and Oklahoma
is constructed for torpedoes of this
length. SO far as the bureau of ord
nance can ascertain, these torpedoes
have as high a range or higher than
any torpedoes manufactured abroad.
Beginning with the Virginia class,
which went into commission princi-
pally in 1906 and up to and including
the Texas, which went into commits
sion this year, all the battleships are
provided with 21-inch 17-foot tubes.
Within the last two years il was found
possible to so improve the 21-inch II
foot torpedo as to practically double
its range, and steps were taken at
once to construct torpedoes having
the increased range We already have
a sufficient number of these longer
range torpedoes to outfit the eight
sion.

EXPLAINED
SECRETARY DANIELS GOES INTO
DETAIL AS TO EQUIPMENT OF
eATTLESHlPS AND CRUISERS
STRAUSS REPORT.

Washington, Dec. 5.-What officials
regard as popular eXaggeration of ad
mitted defects in the American ma
vy's torpedo equipment was the sub
ject of statement issued tonight by
Secretary Daniels, embodying a special
report from Rear Admiral Strauss, the
chief of the bureau of ordnance. Spe-
cifically the statement was prepared
to prove misleading a declaration that
"of long-range torpedoes there are on
ly fiftyleight in the navy" quoted
from a speech by Representative Gard
ner of Massachusetts, who Is urging
the administration to support his re-
solution for an investigation of the
nations military preparedness.
While the recent discussion of the
subject has dealt only with the equip
ment of battleships and cruisers, Ad-
miral Strauss took occasion to point
out that long-range torpedoes are
neither required nor desired for sub
marines. He recalled that the British
armored cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and
Hogue were torpedoes and destroyed
by German submarine at "A range
of 500 yards.
This statement standing by itself,
is calculated to leave false impress
sion" Mr. Daniels said. In view of
repeated statements that the navy has
only lifty-eight long range torpedoes,
the chief of the bureau of ordnance
has been asked to furnish a statement
concerning the torpedo situation and
has complied as follows:
