The periscope is the invention of a

Amsterdam. AS his craft was intend

EYE OF SUBMARINE
Periscope Believed Brought to
Point of Perfection.
Latest Instrument Enables Command.
er to Be Practically Sure That
Deadly Torpedo VIII Reach
Ship He Would Destroy.

Everybody knows the simple prin-
ciple of the periscope, but few are
aware of the minute refinements of
the construction of the perfected In
strument, its delicacy and Importance.
Down in the connirg tower, In the
semidarkness, with the throbbing OF
machinery and the hushed hum OF
the twilight water slipping past the
lookout scuttles, the commander of
the submarine has been carefully
studying the course of his prey and
making calculations as to its speed,
carefully laying his own course In ac-
cordanee. Now the time has come
to take chance. for soon the perl
scope splash will be observed, to re-
suit In fusillade of projectiles, and
a twisting. lodging course on the part
of the cruiser. and the submarine
would be baffied.
The officer takes his final obserya-
ton, lays his course, presses a but
ton, and the circular-framed picture
before him is extinguished. His pre-
viously calculated period of blind run
ming expires. II his calculations have
been correct, and the cruiser has not
changed its course or speed he should
be within torpedo range. with the
tubes pointing toward the target. Is

The periscope is pointed carefully
in the direction which should reveal

curately as a gun would be pointed.
is standing by the torpedo tubes. and
the second they receive their signal
the great cigar-shaped missile will be
on its way. The commander presses
a button. The hydraulic power Is re-
leased. AS quickly as a rattlesnake
strikes and withdraws. the periscope
shoots up and down. For a fraction
OF an instant an overwhelmingly large
vision OF the enemy ship flashes up.
His calculations have been correct.
and with the speed of thought he
reaches for the signal button which
will send the messenger of death"
on its way.
Too late the lookout and the officers
on the bridge OF the cruiser observe
the furrow which marks the approach
of the torpedo through the water. The
helm is thrown hard, but without avail.
Before the ship answers the furrow
has ended in a resounding thump
against the hull. the explosion follows.
and the work is DOM.
With the old-styl~ periscope this ac-
ton would have been impossible.
granting a sharp lookout had been
kept on the cruiser. for. the only way

A clinic for colored mothers was or
ganized at the Children's Homeopathic
hospital, Franklin and Thompson
streets, Philadelphia, and the initial
lecture was delivered by Mrs. Marga-
ret Simon. the superintendent of social
work at the hospital So great has
been the attendance at the weekly lee
lures for mothers on Friday afternoons
that the hospital was obliged to es-
tablish two additional clinics-one on
Wednesdays for the mothers OF sick
babies and the third for colored moth
ers and babies
The attendance was larger than the
nurses had provided for. Colored
women from all parts of the city. and
even from Chester. Camden, Haddon-
field and other places, came and all
had at least one baby; some of them
as many as three. There was probably
never a brighter lot of babies at the
clinic, accordin1 to the attendant
nurses. and certainly never a better
dressed set Of infants. The interest
of the mothers was so intent that the
physicians regard this clinic as one of
the most promising In the city.
Mrs. Simon gave the mothers an In
formal talk. telling them OF the pur-
poses of the clinic and the advantage
to be derived from attending 1t regu-
larry and following the instruction
given for the care of the babies. She
explained the fundamental care of the

The presidents proclamation be-
speking interest in the exposition at
Richmond organized under the aus
pieces of the Negro Historical and In
dustrial association is an evidence in
itself of the extraordinary progress OF
that race in America since the door
of opportunity was opened. II is the
voice of all the people, white and
black, and will bear good fruit. Only
a thoroughly worthy object could have
brought from the chief executive such
a deliverance.
The display at Richmond represent
ed less than half a century of build
ing along the lines of intelligent sys-
tenn and study. For not until a few
years after the war closed did the
Negro get fairly started on the road
to individual effort and thrift. He was
for time in the clutches of the poll
ticians. some pulling this way and
some that, but none pulling for him.
It was In the early '70s that he finally
got his proper bearings and began to
show under friendly leadership his
capacity for good work and good citi-
zenship. Since then he has done
much; and all true men appreciate the
performance, and wish him success
in his further like course.
The Negro is In America to stay
All the shallow outgivings of futile
dreamers and selfish schemers about
deportation have ceased. Neither the
intelligent Negro nor the intelligent
white man was misled. Both could
appraise the real situation, and did
appraise il at its right value. America,
never more so than now, is oppor-
tunity for the man who wants to make
himself useful, qualities to that end
and applies what he learns and saves
what he earns.
The Negro should be not only In
dustrious but patient. Half century
is scarcely more than day in reckon
ing the advancement and achievements
of race. But it is the first steps
that count; and since his feet we're
set in the right path the Negroes steps
have been steady and assuring.
Reference, Of course, is TO the Ne
gro who respects himself and solicits
by his conduct the respect of his white
neighbors. When he does that he pros
pers. When he does his duty by him.
self he does it by others; and here he
sees himself able to command the SYM
pathy and recognition of the highest
official of the government, speaking
for all who live under the government
and know the benefits of Its protec-
ton.

The White House issued the follow
ing proclamation, signed by President
Wilson, heartily commencing the Ne
gro National exposition held in Rich
mond. 1t follows:
By the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
A national exposition In eommemo-
ration of the achievements of the Ne
gro race during the last fifty years
will be held in Richmond. Va, July 8
to %. 1915. The occasion has been
recognized as of national importance
by congress through an appropriation
of $4,000 to aid In its promotion and
contamination. This sum is being ex-
pended by the terms of the appropria-
ton under the direction of the COVER
nor of Virginia. The exposition is I'M
der the auspices of the Negro His
torical and Industrial association. The
action of congress in this matter in
dicates very happily the desire of the
nation, as well as of the people of
Virginia, to encourage the Negro In
his efforts to solve his industrial
problem. The national Negro exposi-
ton Is designed to demonstrate his
progress in the last fifty years and to
emphasize his opportunities. AS pres
ident of the United States I bespeak
the active interest of the nation in the
exposition and trust that every facil-
ity will be extended to the leaders,
whose earnest work has made the un-
dertaking possible.
In witness whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
1st day of July, In the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
fifteen, and of the independence of the
United States of America the one hun
dred and thirty-ninth.
