HITTING A PERIsCOPE AT FIVE
MILES

In the January Popular Science
Monthly appears timely description
of the methods employed by English
gunners by which they have nearly
succeeded in driving the German
submarines from the English Chan
mel. The writer says:
"One of the most interesting facts
brought out in Germany's submarine
campaign against British commerce
was the accuracy with which the Brit
ish guns were trained upon occasional
indiscreet periscopes.
THE periscope tube Is small, and
an especially difficult target at long
range, yet on a few occasions - oc-
casions which were so recurrent that
the accuracy could not be attributed
to accident-British guns have de-
molished periscopes, thereby render
ing the submersible helpless an
easy prey when she came to the sur
face.
Nor can this remarkable ac-
curacy be attributed entirely to the
correctness of the gun design. The
fact of the matter is that the British
method of rangfinding, aside from
being one of the most interesting, is

NEW YORK'S SKYSCRAPERS
VULNERABLE TO FLEET

New York could be destroyed by a
foreign fleet In two or three hours
without coming within range of our
harbor forts according to an article
in the January Poplar Science Month
ly by Rear Admiral Bradley A. F'iske.
In commenting upon some remark
able pictures showing the destroyed
commerce raider Emden, Admiral
Fiske says:
"The destruction wrought upon the
Emden, of which these photographs
give such gruesome proof, has another
interest for us, of a character not
because 1t suggests that If this dam
age could be done to strong, steel
structure, like the Emden, what would
have happened to buildings, in New
York, if they had been the targets
instead And 1t also suggests what
might have been the effect If those
buildings had been the targets not of
the comparatively small projectile
which were fired at the Emden, but of
14-inch projectiles Weighing 1,400
pounds, filled with high explosive, fired
from a hostile ship.
The American fleet having been de-
feated, a single ship carrying guns
able to fire projectiles Is miles, and
protected against submarines by num-
erous destroyers and by other means,
could, in two or three hours, fire into
New York from a point beyond the
reach of any of our guns, 100 high eX-
plosive shells, which falling on our
streets, power stations, subways, ele-
waited railroads and skyscrapers,
would make the vicinity of Wall street
look like these pictures of the EN-
den.

YORK LEADS IN
TRI-CTTY SERIES
Independents in First Slump of
Season; Must Win to Get
Out of Cellar

with one victory already scored
over Harrisburg Independents, the
York five tomorrow night will offer
strong opposition. At least 100 root
ers from York will come to Harris
burg.
So far as team play is concerned the
Independents are in slump. Each
man is playing a good individual game,
but they have not yet developed the
passing game which won so many
games for them last season. Captain
McCord is working in the practices
to bring the passing department up
to highest possible point.
Harrisburg at present is gracing
last position in the league race, and
they will make every effort to win
Saturday night. If the locals win, it
will place them on an equal footing
with Lancaster and York.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH
OPORTO

Oporto is famous as the city which
gave It's name to all port wines, as
Well as to the country of Portugal.
IL is admired for its wealth of semi
tropical plants and flowers for the
scenic charm of the Douro river wind
ing lazily between green banks and
! cutting the city in half. To the casual
traveller, however, the thing which
most awakens admiration and respect
is the Praca de Liberdale.
The Praca de Liberdale is the great
square in the heart of Oporto where
all the car lines meet. The Praca is
admittedly the severest test of So
briety In all Europe. For Portugal
mas written her name large in history
as an exploring and sea-going ma
tlon, so the pavement of this square
Is laid with black and white bricks to
mimic the waves of the ocean In
the glare of bright sun, these waves
seem to heave and toss even to the
soberest, while the man who can auaff
two bottles of Oportos own port wine
and then walk across the black-and-
white waves of the Praca de Liber-
dale, without becoming seasick and
losing his courage, is entitled to uni
versal respect.
A stroll through the streets of
Oporto leads between pretty gray and
white houses on either hand, set back
from the streets in gardens bright
with flowers. There are even MANY
date palms, bearing out the tropical
illusion, so that with the sea breeze
blowing up from the west 1t is hard
to realize that one is still in Europe.
This combination of flowers, palms,
and the sea is reminiscent rather of
Africa or the Friendly Islands than
the Spanish peninsula.
Oporto is a city of churches. There
are ancient cathedrals of slim sweep
ing gothic beauty, and cloisters even
older, built in the days of simpler
line. 1t is no wonder that lowers of
architecture the world over come
lere to worship and to admire.

Strike Settlement Frees
Millions in Xmas Goods
By Associated Press

Chicago. ILL.,, Dec. 17.-With tne set
tlement of the strike of 500 employees
of the Belt Railway of Chicago mer-
chandise valued at millions Of dollars
which had been tied up since the
strike was called last Tuesday was
released to-day when the strikers re-
turned to work.
More than $1,000 loaded freight cars
had clogged the huge switch and
transfer yards at Clearing. Under the
terms of the settlement, which was
effected last night. the men will be
provided with eight trains daily for
their transportation to and from work
instead of every hour, as had been the
practice. The strike was settled chiefly
through the efforts of G.. w. w.

WELLYS KSGORNER

Baseball peace will come. but at a
high price. There is likely to be an
internal revolution before next season
starts. James Gilmore, president of
the Federal League. with few others,
lost heavily on the venture. They must
be recompensed for some OF the losses.
Next will come the players claims. 1t
looks as If the cost of peace may
reach $1,00O,000.
If Harrisburg is to have baseball
next summer. now is the time to get
busy. 1t is q safe bet that in the re-
adjustment of minor league circuits
this city will get recognition. 1t may
be New York State League offer.
1t looks good and fans would like to
see someone get busy before it is too
late.
In the efforts to bring about peace
American League magnates forgot
Frank Baker. Perhaps it was a bad
move for Connie Mack to wait until
he reached Chicago. Baker may be a
star. and there are numerous man
ayers who would like to have him. but
his value in a cash sale is less than
1t was week ago. He might figure

one of the most accurate in the
world.
Whether the enemy appears in the
form of a glinting periscope on the
water, a black dot, or a ship on the
horizon, the method If rangefinding
is fundamentally the same. A range
finder works on the same pricipIe as
that by which we can estimate a dis
tance with our eyes. Line drawn from
our eyes to the object form sides of
an angle. The size of this angle de-
termines the distance. Unconsciously
and automatically we reckon dis
tances by the complicated process
known as triangulations.
What we estimate roughly with
our eyes, rangeflnders determine ac-
curately with lenses and measuring
instruments that are wonderfully ac-
curate,"

JIM CALLAHAN TO
LEAD PITTSBURGH
Former White Sox; Appoint
ment Brings Surprise to.
Baseball Circle

Pittsburgh, Dec. IT. President
Barney Dreyfuss announced last night
that James ]. Callahan, former mana
gre of the Chicago White Sox had
been appointed manager of the Pitts
burgh National League team to sue
ceed Fred Clarke, resigned.
The appointment of Callahan caused
great surprise and bore out Barney
Dreyfuss' assertion that the name OF
his new manager had never been men,
toned in that connection.
A week ago 1t was universally pre-
dicted that Hans Wagner would be
selected, but in New York last Mon
day, Dreyfuss said that his famous
shortstop was not the man.
Who Callahan Is
Catcher George Gibson and outfeld-
e- Bill Hinchman, Jack Hendricks, OF
the indianapolis team, and seevral
others, were mentioned in connection
with the job. Hendricks and Gibson
were the faovrites of the guessers.
Callahans fret big league engage
ment was with the Philhes many years
ago. He failed here and went back
to the minors but the Chicago Nation
ais landed him and he became a star
at once. In those days he was a pitch
er. When the American League was
formed, Callahan jumped to the White
Sox. He managed the team in 1908
and part of the season of 1904.
Callahan quit the SoX in 1906 and
played semi-independent baseball un-
til 1911 when Owner Comiskey in
duced him to return to his team. He
managed the Sox in 1912, 1913 and
1914. but last Spring was deposed in
favor of Clarence Rowland. Callahan

Faded Hair Dark aud Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that
Sage Tea and sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the nat
ural color and lustre to the hair

only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask al any
drug store for "Wycth's Sage and

large bottle for about 80 cents. EV-
erybody uses this old, famous re
cipe, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as
it does it so naturally and evenly.
