In Paris they are replacing the
veil OF crepe for mourning for one Of
tulle or mousseline de sole As any
one who has sojourned in France
knows, mourning in that country
used to be fairly barbaric in its sti-
fling somberncss, and this ovation is
one to be cordially welcomed.

U. S. SUBMARINES ARE
BUILT THE STRONGEST
Our Undersea Craft Beat Those
Of Other Nations.

Washington. Whatever else may lie
said Of the submarine torpedo boats of
the United States. naval experts fn-
miliar with this type Of craft are con-
fdent that the underwater boats Of no
other nation are built on stronger lines.
In fact. naval officers say that none OF
the great world powers requires the
construction Of submarines to resist
anything like the great winter pressure
that u required OF American subma-
rines.
Submarines built for the American
navy must have hull strength sufficient
70 resist the pressure Of the ocean at
q depth Of 800 feet Before these deli
cate craft are accepted they must have
withstood pressure at a depth around
210 feet. which is deemed sufficient.
but must be strong enough to 60 much
lower. British and German subma.
rines are not required to stand pressure
at 800 feet. the requirement usually
running around 200 feet. German SUBJ
marines, as rule. are tested at depth
around 150 feet and those Of the Brit
ish navy sometimes at q greater depth.
OF all submarine defects those af-
fcctdng the propelling engines have
been most numerous and bothersome.
The development Of this type Of en-
gine has been very gradual. Until
very recently. however. engine trouble
has been Of common occurrence In sub
marines. and the work of construction
has been delayed more by engine de-
fects probably than from all other de-
fects combined.
submarines usually call for delivery
within two years. it has been under
stood at all times that the vessels
could not be completed and delivered
In that time. and the reason given al
ways has been the engines. 1t IL be-
lieved. however. that the submarine
engines have been SO far perfected
that from now on delivery Of the boats
may be confidently expected within
the contract period. Naval experts
concede that Germany may have SUI
perior submarine engine.
While deeply regretting the loss of
the F-4. with its crew of twenty-five
men. naval officers take pride in the
fact that that was the only fatal acri.
dent to an American submarine. while
similar accidents have happened to
the submarines Of the big European
nations on more than one occasion.
But submarine cruising is hazardous
at best. The structure of subna
rine is necessarily delicate. Any nne
Of many things might be Responsible
for wrecking an underwater boat.

Chapel exercises Monday, Sept. 27,
were as usual, the opening march
being played by Miss Miriam Sling
luff, after which the following pro-
gram was rendered:
March-Miss Miriam Slingluff.

Forum-Edward Rawlins.
Announcement in regard to foot
ball and athletics-Mr. Doherty.

There were no visitors at chapel
Monday morning.
The elm trees north of the high
school building are being trimmed
and the sugar trees are being cut out
so as to admit more light to the
rooms on that side of the building,
as these are exceedingly dark, and it
is difficult to study in them.
o.
The pupils have been assigned to
their respective teachers, who are to
drill them in their Senior orations.
The first program of orations will be
given at chapel Monday, October IS.
The public is cordially invited to at
| tend these programs, which will oc-
cur each Monday at chapel exercises
until all Seniors have appeared be-
fore the high school student body.
Miss Miriam Rosenthall, who has
been visiting in Vermont and the
east, has returned home and was
visitor at M. V. H. s. Friday morn
ing.
Misses Coup and Fribley, of the
local teaching force of the grade
schools, visited the Columbus schools
Thursday in order that they might
get some of the ideas of the teaching
in Columbus, and with added ideas
do better work in Mt. Vernon.
Thursday morning Mr.. M. j. Do
herty of our local teaching force re-
ceived a telegram announcing the
death of his sister. Mr.. Doherty de-
parted on the morning train, Friday,
for his home at Reynoldsburg, o.,
where the funeral was held Friday
afternoon. The school extends it's
sincerest sympathy to Mr.. Doherty in
this hour of bereavement.
At the teachers meeting Monday,
Supt. Zemer presented the problem
of athletics for discussion in this
phase: do athletics give the re-
quired physical development the way
it is handled in the schools Of Mt.
| Vernon. or should all be required to
take some physical exercise In some
form or other?" The result of the
discussion was a firm belief in the
minds of all that there should be
more general physical training along
| the line of athletics rather than ben
eft the few, >as is now done, for this
reason-that good physical develop
ment is the basis of good work
+, throughout the school as has been
demonstrated time and time again.
Mr.. Kenneth Harper, ex-'16, has
gone to st. Johns Military Academy,

Governor Willis and the organization
representing him say that It is to give
to the Republicans of the state "fair
share of Ohio's congressman" In a
state where the vote has given Demo
cratic governors four out Of the last
five times, where the last total vote
for Democratic congressman exceeded
by 1000 the vote for Republicans, and

give Republicans nineteen congress
men and the Democrats three: which

was this kind of fairness that made
the Progressive party necessary in
1912.
