The extent to which the business OF
building submarines has grown since
the outbreak OF the great European
war is shown in q story published in
the Wall Street Journal. This relia-
BILE financial publication says that
Electric Boat Co. stock is being tight
ly held by the stockholders. who have
great faith in the future Of the sub
marine
The story contains interesting allu-
sions to the plant Of the New London
Ship & Engine Co. in Groton, especial
ly in reference to the submarines for
the Chinese government and to the
submarines which the United States
government may build. This is the
story in part:
Thirty Chinese are at the Electric
Boat Co.'s Groton plant learning the
intricacies of submarine boat construc-
ton and operation. 1t Is believed that
financial arrangements for the pur-
chase of these boats will soon be COM
pleted by the Chinese commissioners.
Charles NJ. Schwab has agreed to take
part notes in payment for his share
of the order. New York bankers say
China can easily raise q loan Of be-
tween $40, 000, 600 and $4,000, 600 in this
country, but that it is doubtful IL
not impossible that the STANDARD Oil
Co. will figure largely in the credit
extended to the Chinese government.
The only plant enlargement pro-
gramme the company has under con-
sideration Is at Groton, where faciN-
ties for the manufacture OF Diesel en-
gines will be increased. This depart
ment is profitable one. The company
acquired the American rights for the
Nuremberg engine and spent more than
100000 developing and improving it.
At present 1t turns out 1000 horse
power engines that are in great de-
mand for all kinds Of boats. Charles
M. Schwab is negotiating for 100 to
be installed on canal barges.

rAN you imagine anything more
- simple, more novel, or more chic
than this dress Of brown broadcloth
and sand-colored crepe de chine, for
a young girl? If you can, hasten to
reduce your imaginings to concrete
form, for you have thought out some
thing for which womankind is always
in waiting. This is one of several new
models launched for the maid from
sixteen to twenty-or more.
The waist of crepe is long-sleeved
and high-necked, and could hardly be
palmer. The high collar has wings
faced with brown, and brown buttons,
down the front, seem to show single
mindedness Of purpose to be only use
full. Narrow cuffs bound with brown
finish the long sleeves. Altogether the
waist seems to bespeak lack of self
consciousness in the wearer; 1t is so
devoid of business.
The skirt is moderately full, smartly
short and slightly fiaring. The skele-
ton bodice is plain, with bound edges,
and the belt is made of the same fab
ric as the dress. The waist line is a
little higher than the normal and a

the size Of the neck opening.
The pretty yoke at the front re-
quires an embroidered beading an inch
and half wide finished at one edge
with a band of swiss embroidery In
an open pattern. This, in turn, is
edged with the narrow beading which
extends all around the neck. Narrow
cluny lace insertion is stitched along
the lower edge of the beading in the
yoke and a second row Of the same
insertion outlines the yoke and joins
It to the body of the gown. In making
the yoke the wide beading is to be
stitched to the row of swiss embroid-
cry at one side, and to the row of
cluny insertion at the other, and then
cut into two pieces of equal length to
form the two sides. The second row
OF cluny is then stitched to both
pieces.
The neck opening is finished with
a narrow cluny edging sewed to the
narrow beading below IT, The full
short sleeves are finished with both
insertion and edging of cluny.
A narrow satin ribbon run In the
beading about the neck adjusts Il to
the figure. A wide ribbon 10 run
through q buttonholed slit at the front
and tied In generous bow.

fairly wide belt is supported by slides
of the fabric which hold 1t securely.
The side seams are prevented from
sagging by stitched-on straps Of the
material, the neat machine stitching
and accurately placed straps adding
an elegant finish. Buttons like those
at the front of the bodice, but smaller,
finish the cuffs and extend above them
on the sleeve for the space of six
inches.
The fascinating feature in the COM
position of this unusual little gown is,
of course, the Unexpectedly real pock-
cts at each side of the front. They
are there, but for just what purpose,
beyond that of furnishing a novelty In
design, remains to be seen.
There are curved, diagonal Sits
in the skirt, with edges bound, won
derfully well finished. The dress Is
faultlessly tailored and made of an
excellent quality of broadcloth. The
waist. although so plain, is entirely UP
to date and depends upon the crepe Of
which it is made, as much as upon de-
sign and execution, for its elegance.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or You
Have Backache or Bladder Misery
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithiawater drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding Sc
rious kidney complications.-Adv.

A LII the big stores and, quite likely,
"A the smaller ones are having their
annual white-goods sales. Counters
are piled high with dainty lingerie of
sheer fabrics, trimmed with exquisite
laces and embroideries manufactured
especially for the finishing of under
muslins.
Styles change in undermuslins and
night dresses as In other clothes,
though not so radically. The new de-
signs for spring reveal narrow laces,
very sheer embroideries, much bead
ing, small tucks and the use of ribbon
in the new garments. Small, fine pat
terms in embroidery are liked much
better than heavier designs, and new
tricks in placing yokes, shaping
sleeves, letting in medallions, reward
the searcher after something new.
One of the newest patterns in night
dresses Is shown here so plainly that
it hardly needs description. The body
of the gown is made of two widths OF
nainsook felled together along the
sides. At the center of one width at
the top a cluster of twelve tucks Is
