Susan Viola Sampson en0kar oamo
to brighten the home ol Sylvester and
Matilda sampson ON May 70, 1864, In
Clarke county. near Osceola. There
she grew to vunnmhood, and was con-
verted in the Methodist church. On
Christmas day. 1899, she was united In
marriage to Joshua Reneker. This
union was blessed with six children,
two daughters, Daisy and Esther, and
four sons. Glen B, Raymond. Paul and
Joshua, Jr.
Susan Viola departed this life at
Birmingham, Sunday morning. Oct 10,
1915, at 10 O'Clock, aged 81 years, four
months and seventeen days, after suf-
fering considerably for the past year.
She was blest with consciousness to

ed and suffered long enough and was
ready 70 80. One by one the children
were brought to her by the bereft hus-
band, and she counseled them to speak
the truth, be honest and live an up
right life. Then calmly she said good
bye to all. more composed by far than

lions.
The application Of the steam turbine
directly to the propeller shaft, thus re-
/! quires a sacrifice Of propeller effic-
iency, by running above best speed,
and great sacrifice of turbine effic-
iency, by designing it for a speed
| which for steam turbine Is abnorm-
ally low The loss of efficiency caus-
ed thereby is much greater than all
the losses in the electric motor and
generator The electric drive per-
mits running the turbine at the high
speed giving best efficiency and small
size, and running the propeller at the
low speed of good efficiency.
This is the reason why the steam
ship turbine, though superior to the
reciprocating engines of old, is not as
efficient as the steam turbine of our
electric power stations.
In battle ships, the direct use of the
steam turbine on the propeller shaft
has two further disadvantages, which
are overcome by the electric trans
mission from high speed steam turb-
inc to low speed propeller shaft.
The turbine gives high efficiency
only at one speed. For transatlantic
liners, which run at full speed from
continent to continent, this is satisfac-
tory. Battle ships, however, must
nave two efficient speeds. AT racing
speed. highest efficiency is essential,
as the safety of the ship in battle may
depend OH it.
High efficiency is essential at the
lower cruising speed, to have a large
cruising radius, and the electric motor
which can be built at high efficiency
at any number of speeds, thus has the
advantage.
Furthermore, electric machinery is
far more perfectly under control than
the steam turbine. For reversing the
ship a separate reversing turbine" Is
necessary, and the safety Of the ship
may often depend on the rapidity and
perfection of it's control.
The replacement Of the steam turb.
inc on the propeller shaft by electric
drive is thus great step in advance,
giving higher speed, greater cruising
radius and more perfect control of the
warship The American navy may
we'll be congratulated on being the
first to avail itself of this stage of
progress.

TRADE INCREASES.

Exports from the United States to
South America during recent months
show marked improvement over last

valued at $13,744,0O0, against $7,573,-

The last half of 1914.
Imports from South America are
also considerably larger than year
ago. For June the official figures of

S144,O74 900 in the first half and $105,-
447 900 in the second half of 1914.
During the earlier months CT the
fiscal year our trade with South Amer
lea was seriously disturbed, and our
total exports thereto in 1914 fell in
value to $99,324 900, or $25,0OO,000 be-
low 1913, and it was not until March,
1915, that the upward trend was
definitely resumed.
Tables in the June Summary of For
eign Commerce show a few OF the
more important items making up our
export trade with South American
countries Thus in the month of June
exports of agricultural implements to
Argentine doubled; sales of automo-
biles to South America as whole
nearly trebled; a ten-fold increase
marked the shipments Of bituminous
coal to that section; similar gain
occurred in exports OF steel rails;
sales of wire rose from three million
to nearly thirty million pounds, half
of it going to Argentina and fourth
of it to Brazil; leather exports doubled
and those of boots and shoes increas-
ed in the case of Argentina. Over two
million pounds of lard went to South
America in June, or double the guam
tity year ago. The depression in
the naval stores industry was not re-
fiected in sales to South America,
since exports both Of rosin and turpen-
tine to South America increased to a
marked extent A like condition OBJ
tanned with respect to Illuminating
oil, increases occurring in shipments
to South America coincidentally with
decreases to foreign countries as a
whole. Sales of news print paper to
Argentina rose from one million
pounds in June, 1914, to eight million
in June OF the current year.
