BlUEJACKETS' WASHDAY
TO BE ONLY A MEMORY.
Regular Laundries May Be Installed
on All Sea Fighters.

The navy department will o take
under consideration Secretary Daniels
plan to install laundries for the en-
listed men on all battleships.
1t came about during the secretary's
visit aboard a battleship during bis
first year In the service. Through an
oversight a number of buckets OF wa
ter containing soiled clothing of blue
jackets had been left standing along
the deck when the secretary came
aboard. 1t was evidently blue Mon
day aboard that particular ship. and
the secretary inquired the reason for
the buckets.
He was told they were wash buck
cts. In which the men did their W
laundry work. When the secretary
got back to Washington he decided
that one of the first things to do would
be to install a laundry on a battleship
by way of experiment. The Texas
was selected. and bids were opened
for two large washing machines. two
centrifugal wringers and a soap tank.
The operation Of the laundry was
placed In charge of n first lieutenant.
and regular laundrymen were engaged
to do the washing for the Texas. The
members of the crew. released from
the arduous duties of wash day. were
glad to pay 40 cents a month. irrespec-
tive Of the number Of pieces they had
In the wash. Officers, chief petty OFF,
GERS and users of mess linen are
charged so much per piece. as these
dignitaries are required to wear stand
ing collars. and the laundry work for
them Is harder.
According to the report made by Cap
tain A. w. Grant, who was in com
mand Of the Texas until a short time
ago. 1t Is a big success. He recon-
mended that laundries be established
aboard all the battleships. and 1t is re-
garded as probable that the idea will
be carried out before the close Of the
present administration.
Aside from the fact that 1t relieves
d battleship crew OF the work OF laun-
dry duty. the saving to the navy In
fresh water Is alone sufficient, officers
say. to insure the installation Of COM
mon laundries.

Madison. Wis, Sept. 20.-'With our
manufacturing interests extending
enormous credits to the allies, with
our money interests committed to keep
the bonds of the allied governments
good. we are underwriting the success

free to do what is honest and disin-
terested and truly ~serviceable for the
peace of the world"

INVISIBLE SHIPS
AIM OF THE navy
Experiments In Color Schemes
Are Nov Being Conducted.
WATER FOWLS ARE BASIS.

6oats Are Painted to Resemble the
Water ~ Near AZ Possible--Some
Have White Stripes That Look Like
The Wavss-Makino Submarine In
visible Also.
An invisible warship-that Is, one
which cannot be seen at sea when 1t Is
inside the horizon line-is being striven
for by the United States navy and may
become a reality In the near future.
The experiments are being conducted
with the destroyer fiotilla at Newport,
X. /. Persons who recently had occa.
sion to see that fieet have wondered
whether the vessels represent an es-
capped menagerie or whether the navy
department and the officers In COM
mand have simply gone crazy.
AS a matter of fact. the experiments
have proceeded far enough to demon
strate that the destroyer feet is vir-
tually invisible at sea even with the
aid Of binoculars, and II is only a ques-
ton Of time when the bulky battleship
can be made invisible at the range at
which naval battles are now fought.
Expert Studies Waterfowl.
The principle which the navy Is fol
lowing Is the same which animals en-
ploy when their best means of defense
lies In suiting their outer coloring TO
their environment. 1t will be recalled
that the American feet originally was
painted white. one Of the most striking
coIors on water. At the present time
the battleshlp fleet and most of the
auxiliaries are painted a battle gray
so called. Now this Is discarded on the
ground that a solid color OF any kind
can be distinguished at sea, whereas q
notified surface. like the surrounding
water itself. breaking up into lights
and shades, will make almost any bulk
invisible at a distance proportionate to
size.
Abbott III. Thayer. an E~nglishman
who studied the celebrations OF wild
animals, especially waterfowl. noting
at what distance their color enabled
them to become invisible to the naked
eye and under glass, and who Is SAID
to have taught Theodore Roosevelt
much that he knows on the subject Of
invisible animals, Is largely responsible
for the navy's taking up the problem.
Tests Visibility Of Ships.
MI. Thayer conducted a series OF ex
periments In the navy department .
year ago and demonstrated that unde'
certain conditions the model OF q tor
pedo boat painted by him could not b.
seen, while a similar vessel paintet
battle gray was plainly visible.
At Newport the destr0yers have beef
painted In numerous ways to test thei
Visibility. Some Of them have beel
painted like checker boards, In alter
