THE WEAKENED BRETHREN.

the paper as 1t Is published. and It Is
being criticised by Mayor Bowen and
the Times, which we think Is good

FORGET 1T, MAYOR.

The Mayors threat yesterday that
"reprtsals" would be exacted over the
passage of the charter reminds us OF
the opinion we once had about school
teacher who administered very de-
served punishment for an infraction
Of the rules Of the school. We said
then that when We grew up we would
give the teacher the hest beating Of his
life. Several years have passed. but
We have changed our minds about
whipping the teacher. So We trust the
Mayor will, as time goes by, forget to
exact his reprisals.

SMALL DRYDOCK.
To Handle Submarines to be Built for
u. S. NAVY.

To handle the large number of sub
marines which are to be built for the
navy it has been suggested that teh
Government should construct small
drydocks which could be kept at the
submarine bases.
These small floating drydocks, about
three hundred feet in length, would not
only be adapted to use for submarines,
but for destroyers and large naval
tugs. AS they can be taken from one
port to another, they could be utilized
in establishing temporary bases for the
submarines and in the development of
general scheme for their mobiliza-
ton and distribution.
It is suggested that it might be possi-
BILE under certain weather conditions
TO make use of such docks in raising
sunken submarines. possibly using two,
one on either side of the submarine.
After they are attached by cables they
could be pumped out to lift the subma-
rine. much as pontoons were used in
raising the FL 1t is estimated that a
S0O-foot floating drydock could handle
5.0O0-ton ship The 550-foot float
ing drydock at New Orleans is able to
raise $4,000 tons.

Orders Investigation of Charges That
This Type Of Submarine is
Defective.

The f type of submarine. of which
there are three remaining may be elm
mated from the United States navy as
the result of the loss of the F-4 at
Honolulu.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels stated
that he is going to order an investiga-
tion at once into the charge, as stated
in the Washington Herald that the ves-
sells of this type are in constant danger
of meeting the fate of the F-4, because
of the fact that water leaks into the
batteries on these craft.
This leakage causes the submarine
to Gil with chlorine gas, and this is be
lieved to have resulted in the F-4's dis
The three remaining submarines of the
f type are the FL. F-2 and F-3, and
are all on duty in the harbor of Hon

that they arc constantly exposed to

Qefininu a Gentleman.

The true gentleman is the man
whose conduct proceeds from good will
and an acute sense of propriety and
whose self control is equal to all emer-
gencies; who does not make the poor
man conscious Of his poverty, the OBJ
scure man Of his obscurity or any
man Of his inferlority or deformity;
who is himself humbled if necessity
compels him to humble another; who
does not flatter wealth, cringe before
power or boast of his own possessions
or achievements; who speaks with
.frankness. but always with sincerity
and sympathy, and whose deed follows
fhis word; who thinks Of the rights and
feelings of others rather than Of his
own; who appears well in any com
pany and who !. is at home what he
seems to- be abroad-a man with whom
honor is sacred and virtue safe.-Dr
Wayland.

Electricity
In Toyland

It is only recently that electricity be-
gan to play conspicuous part in the
Christmas holiday. OF all the electric
toys the little trolley car is one of the
best. 1t gets it's power from the light
ing circuit and will run on its circular
track quite well, as we'll as its big
cousin runs in the city streets. Toy
motors and generators to run toy ma
chinery are especially interesting to
boys. For girls modern doll houses are
Illuminated with tiny electric lamps.
This year Santa Claus will have in
his pack a new toy for little girls, a
miniature electric range. 1t is a COM
plete practical range that cooks and
bakes perfectly, the very thing for
which little girls have longed with all
their hearts. 1t is safe plaything for
children, and when using it they not
only occupy themselves happily. but
they actually learn to cook. There IS
complete set of utensils furnished
free, with cookbook for children writ
ten so simply that they can understand
it without difficulty. This small range
is fifteen inches high, with six burners
and practical little oven.
