Ships of Our Own

NNE of the most hopeful features Of the

this country is the shipbuilding boom. The
shipyards are humming with an activity for

We have been handicapped in the matter
of shipbuilding by the paucity OF our oppor-

tractcd for individually, while English vessels
were standardized and built in lots Then
again. the difference in wages on this side
of the water has made it difficult for our

has been that most OF our commerce has been

Dreadnoughts Rule the Waves

LON completely the matured reflection OF
naval experts has rejected the amateur
theory, so popular inethe early period OF Ger
many's submarine warfare. that the day of
the great battleship was over. and that of
the underseas craft had dawned. is shown in
the statement presented to Congress on Tues
day by Secretary Of the Navy Daniels.
or course the modern battle fleet is not
composed exclusively of Dreadnoughts There
must he adequate allotment of battle cruisers
scouting cruisers, torpedo-boat destroycrs and
sea-going submarines. for otherwise the all
big-shlp fleet would succumb to the finer effec-
tiveness of better balanced adversary But
the Dreadnought Is and must be the principal
reliance--the steel girder OF the structure Of
naval efficiency. Nothing can take its place
says Mr. Daniels in his statement to Congress-:
The first and most important lesson
is that The British grand feet. COM
posed not only of preadnouEhts and
cruisers. light cruisers destroyers. sub
m i, and auxiliaries, has to iatc
further known that, despite the efforts
of submarines and other minor craft.
the losses Of this fleet have been
serious.
These deductions from the lessons OF en-
perience do not admit of successful contradic-
ton. for they must be obvious to the mind
OF every man who has followed the course
OF the great war, as it has been waged at sea-
Britain and her allies have kept nearly un-
disputed command because their superiority
in capital ships has been SO pronounced. The
German battle feet. on which hundreds of
millions have been spent, is locked up in the
Kiel Canal. and the German flag has vanished
from the highways Of ocean commerce The
destruction OF Austro-German foreign trade
by allied naval power must represent ii net
loss of hundreds of millions more.
For this the exploits of all the submarines
Germany has been able to send to sea cannot
even remotely compensate. Winston Church
ills rather foolish boast that the British
navy would dig the German fleet out Of its
defenses at kicl and Hegoland never had any
chance Of fulf!ment. but the British navy
nevertheless. has achieved it's mission The
German navy. with the exception OF the sub
marines, is as impotent atloat as it would be
at the bottom of the sea
Ways have been found. moreover. TO deal
with the menace of the submarines. They
yet find an occasional victim but evidence
accumulates that they becoming less and
less the sea scourge they we're thought six
months ago. Many OF them, caught in nets
OF destroyed by she'll fire, have lost forever
the power TO sting.
The American navy is in position 10 profit
by what the war has taught other nations
and il will profit, We shall have battle
cruisers and scouts and destroyers and full
complement OF submarines OF various types

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS CRAY HAIR
It's GrandmOther's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and
Thickness.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair Our grandmother made
up mixture OF Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractiveAuse only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
5O-cent bottle of "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dand-
ruff, stops scaln itching and falling
hair. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one ST all
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications. it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an APP
pearance of Guidance.
