49,
CARSON CITY. March 1a-Both
the primary and general election laws
were passed Tuesday. the assembly
disposing of the primary election bill
and the senate Of the general cleo,
ton measure. There was no opposi.
ton to either measure.
The primary election law provides
for the convention system. the dele.
gates to party convention to be
chosen at primaries. Delegates are
selected on a percentage basis and
the rule regarding proxies. Is. SO
changed as to make It impossible for
a proxy from any county to be voted
in convention except by a resident of
that county.
The general election law has no ma
terial changes from the present law,
the chief object to segregate it from
the primary law, as 1t is the opinion of
attorneys that combining the general
and primary election laws as under
the present system made both uncon-
s~titutional. One change in the gen
eral election law provides that the ju-
dietary shall be elected ON an indie
pendent ticket.

GOVERNMENT FEED RATION
FOR YOUNG CHICKS

The young chicks may be fed n
time after they are thirty-six to forty
eight hours old, whether they are with
a hen or a brooder, say Government
poultry specialists. The first feed
may contain either har6boiled eggs.
johnny cake, stale bread, pinehead oat
meal, or rolled oats, which feeds or
combinations may be used with good
results. Washes mixed with milk are
OF considerable value in giving the
chickens a good start In life. but the
mixtures should be fed in a crumbly
mass and not in a sloppy condition.
After the chickens are two months
old they may be fed four times daily
and after three months old three times
daily, with good results.
Johnny cake, composed of the fol-
lowing ingredients in the proportion
named, Is a very good feed for young
chicks: One dozen infertile eggs or
one pounds Of sifted beef scrap to ten
pounds of cornmeal; add enough milk
TO make a pastry mash, add one tea
spoon of baking soda. Dry bread
crumbs may be mixed with hard
boiled eggs, making about one-fourth
OF the mixture eggs, or rolled pats
may be used in place of the bread
crumbs. Feed the bread crumbs, roll
ed oats, or johnny cake mixture FIVE
times daily for the first week, then
gradually substitute for one or two
feeds of the mixture finely cracked
grains OF equal parts by weight Of
cracked wheat, finely cracked corn,

war, submarine fighting craft had
been developed to high state of eff
ficiency. Among the new vessels, SUBJ
mersibles had almost entirely super
seeded the original type that bore the
name of submarine. For understands
ing the character of the fighting craft
that has come into such prominence
it is necessary to distinguish between
the two types of vessels. The origi-
nal submarine was designed primari-
ly to operate under water and was
far from being a seaworthy craft
when running on the surface. These
vessels were therefore valuable main
ly for coast defense and for opera
tions within restricted limits in con-
nection with a fleet of warships.
The submersible, while having all
the underwater efficiency of the sub
marine, is built to operate on the
surface as well, and is practically as
seaworthy as a destroyer. Such YES
sells are capable of making long voy-
ages and of taking the offensive in
dependently and not simply as auxil-
iaries to fleet of warships. All the

CHARTERED in hammocks in the COM
partments containing the storage bat
teries.
Of all the equipment of submarine
vessels the most important is the
periscope, a simple device that serves
as the eyes of the craft when it is
running submerged. On the latest
submersibles two of these instruments
are used, one being fixed to give a
view straight ahead and the other
being so mounted that it can be
turned to face in any direction. AL
though serving such vital part in
the operation of a submarine the
periscope is exceedingly simple in
construction. The light enters the
hood of the periscope horizontally.
1t then passes through a prismatic
lens that defects it downward at right
angles into the vertical shaft of the
periscope. At the bottom of the shaft
is second lens that again turns the
rays of light to horizontal direc-
ton. This is the simplest. form of
the periscope. Usually there are adj
ditional lenses for magnifying the
view. After passing through the bot
tom lens the image is either thrown
on a screen or is viewed directly
through telescope by the officer in
command.
The one disadvantage in the peris-
cope is that it gives only a limited
view in the one direction in which it
happens to be facing. Attempts have
been made to develop a panorama
periscope that uses a "fish-eye" lens
and gives a view Of the entire hori-
zon, but this device has not yet been
developed sufficiently to come into
general use. When the submarine is
submerged, only the tops Of the peris-
copes are visible above the surface.
These are difficult to see and still
more difficult to hit, and this accounts
for the apparent ease with which a
submarine can steal up within range
of battleship and fire its torpedo
without being discovered.
Just what the submarine strength

War Under the Sea
Full of Wonders
Current Magazine Gives Interesting
Account of Most Modern Method
of Sea Numbering

When the three British armored
cruisers "Aboukir,' "Hegue," and
"Cressy' were all sunk within the
space of about an hour by one Ger
man submarine, the world was given
a startling demonstration of the pos
sibilities of this type of underwater
fighting craft. In the subsequent
fighting at sea these vessels have
played such an important part as to
give considerable justification to Adj
miral Sir Percy SCOTS prediction
that when submarines have been full
ly developed they will entirely dis
place the great dreadnaughts that
form the principal fighting strength
Of the navies of the present time.
During the five years preceding the

later vessels. while commonly called
submarines, are IN fart submcIsiDles
The original submarines still in serv-
ice are used almost exclusively for
coast defense.
The submarine is shaped like a
cigar, a cross section at any point
along the hull being practically cir
cular In the submersible this shape
is retained for the inner shell, but
over this is built a hull that gives
the completed vessel the shape of a
torpedo boat. The inner shell contains
all the working parts of the boat,
while the space between the two
shells is utilized for the water-b bal
last compartments which, when filled,
overcome the buoyancy of the craft
and cause it to sink to any desired
depth beneath the water. The in
terror Of a submersible impresses one
as being a thing of supreme nervous
energy, with every detail devoted to
the accomplishment of just one thing
that of slipping in close to the
enemy's ship and sinking it with a
torpedo. So completely is the vessel
filled with machinery and equipment
for this purpose that only very linn
tied space can be utilized for quar-
tering and feeding the crew.
While the newer submersibles are
equipped with tubes for firing tor
pedoes from the stern and even from
the side, the principal fighting equip
ment is at the bow. Here are located
either two or four torpedo tubes. I'm
like the guns of battleship, these
tubes must be aimed at the mark
by aiming the entire vessel. Each
tube is closed by trap door that
opens automatically when the torpe-
do is fired and closes the instant the
torpedo has started on it's journey Of
destruction. Back of the torpedo tubes
is compartment for the torpedoes
and in this are also sleeping quar-
tiers for the officers of the vessel. In
the deck above this compartment is
a hatch for taking in the torpedoes
