Gilmore, presi- dent of the Federals, tonight just as he was boarding a train for the Buff. talo meeting
 The bill recites that under the fran chise given by the defendant league February 2S, 1914, it was understood that the Kansas City club could oper- ate permanently as a member of the league and that consequently thesclub had assumed great many obliga- tiOns.

The suit was set for hearing on March ,.

Rubber Armor Plate!

II the present war has proved any
thing 1t has proved the. inadequacy OF
the protection afforded by armor plate
covering the underwater vital parts
Of ship. The armor does not extend
sufficiently far below the water line
to assure complete protection when
the vessel is rolling, and in this re-
spect suggestion put forward by q
writer in Popular Science Siftings
might be worth serious consideration.
Describing an experiment made in
1860 on the recoiling strength Of rub
Der, he says that q piece of rubber
two inches thick and foot square
was placed under steam hammer
and six-inch round shot was placed
OF 1t. The hammer fell with tremen-
dous force and broke the shot to
pieces. the rubber remaining elastic
and unimpaired. Results from great
explosive force on rubber flooring and
buffers have shown that beyond fusing
BY heat the rubber remained unin-
jured, So apparently rubber would
make ship more shot-proof than ar
nor plate.

Provisions for Defense.

Speaker Champ Clark Is for peace,
but not for peace at any price. On
the contrary. he Is q firm believer In
adequate provision for defense. This,
In his opinion, does not require large
standing army, or "a navy equal to the
two biggest navies In the world" Here
is his program, as outlined in the
discussion inspired by the reception
of the liberty bell at San Francisco:
II am in favor Of doubling the num-
Der OF cadets at West Point and OF
making 1t obligatory upon the secre-
tary of war to detail an army officer
to any school, college or university
which will furnish minimum Of two
hundred students to drill. In that way
and at the least possible cost we could
In few years have enough drilled
men to officer a volunteer army Of a
million soldiers, If need be- In fact.
there would be wisdom In scheme
by which. in addition to the cadets
educated free by the government at
West Point and Annapolis. any boy
possessing the prescribed Qualifica-
lions might on reasonable terms be
educated at those two great institu-
tons" 49,
He went on to declare also insfavor
of q ''wel1-equipped national guard to
be used for strictly national purposes"
and he concluded:
st seems that II little Switzerland
can mobilize in few days an army of
half a million well-dri1led men by
means of her system OF military edu-
cation and discipline cheapest
system known among men and suf1-
GENTLY effectfve-we could by such ap-
plication of her system as Ats our case
In a year or two be able TO mobilize
an army of two millions Of well-discf
plined men at cost which to us
would be a mere bagatelle-which
would be a most effective insurance
for this country and an her citizens
and their interests"
This is moderate program that

CALLED FOR MUCH ATTENTION
Users Of Gull Pens Had to BE En-
bowed With Great Deal Of
Patience.

We have complained OF our foun
tain pens, but the constant mending
REQUIRED by quill pens must have
proved severe trial In the days when
no others were available, says the
London Chronicle. Alexander Of
Russia thought it necessary to employ
a man whose sole duty consisted in
cutting pens. He was required to,
have a supply of not less than one
hundred quilts always ready.
This number was by no means ex.
cessive, for Alexander would never use
the same pen twice. Even the writ
ing of signature spoiled a pen, in
his opinion, for subsequent use The
quill cutter, who received a salary of
f24Aa year, accompanied the car in
ali Ms journeys, including campaigns
against Napoleon.
Writing implements changed consid-
erably for the better during Sir Wal.
ter Gilbey's long spell of life. Though
quill pens are still in use." he remarks
In his "Recollections OF Seventy
Years" II remember the time when
one seldom saw any other kind. Steel
pens in their early days were ex-
pensive and III made. and few people
used them. The paper we had 70
years ago may have been partly to
blame; 1t had neither the substance
nor the surface we take as matter OF
course nowadays.
4 remember when envelopes came
into use, and what boon they were
considered after the old systems Of
closing letters with waters or wax
Before envelopes were invented letters
we're always written with an eye to
the position of the wafer or seal,
Hank space being left to correspond

jut on the outside, lest the writer
