 part of the household There are bargains to attract the young and old Of the family. The catalogue which is the silent salesman is right there. with its pulling strength. twenty-four hours in the day and it is a constant reminder Of some real or faneied want. That is its real strength. Er- cry word in 1t is an argument, ere ating an atmosphere of a bargain which must be snapped up quick. It is the kind of advertising that gets results. No wasted words about the age of the company or it's great re- sources. No space or time given 70 roasts of compe, ,itofs. Just plain talk. and the price with the picture.
 Compare this so.t Of order solicit ing with that whi h our .cal mer. chant attempts. I have seen the name of foar#or five so-ealled pro- gressiye merchants Of the nearby towns painted on road fences. sign boards and barns, in the old stero- typed form for twenty Yeal's or mese.

 You can sell just as eheapy, and in many cases you are selling a bet ter quality Of goods for the same price than the mail order house gets for an inferior article. but the peo- pie don't know it You can talk and shout yourself hcarse iu proc.aiming Ina. your quality is the best and your prices the lowest. That is not the proof. Buyers want the eri- deaee They may not agree with you d. to the correctness of your claims. They want to see the price They want to think il over and study il. The picture in the advertisement may look just like the machine which you have in steck and t may be quoted at lower price tfan you are asking. That being true, do you blame the buyer for taking chance and sending his order To The city dealer who seems 10 offer the best bargain for the money2 That dealer guarantees satisfaction or return eff the money. Or course, t mieht be different if YOU were right there Oh the spot, to tell all about the merit Of the goods That you have for sale but the trouble is. you are not there aud the catalogue with its catchy ad- yeItisement is right on the icb and is pulling for that order day and night.

the same methods are employed to get
the range on seaplanes, No. the sub

In the matter Of food and ammun,-
ton supplies the submarine is again
the savior Of a nation bottled up by
submarines, We will have before long

carrying food. coal. ammunition and
tho like. II England had such a
fleet to-day she could employ II in
the transportation OF carGoes which
are now being sent 10 the bottom OF
the sea by submarine launched tor
pedoes.
The great secret Of the submarine
Is its invisibility. A submarine car
rying supplies to England to-day
could cruise along the crest OF the
water at high speed. At sight Of an
enemy submarine 1t could dive imme-
diately and get away. There at one
fell swoop goes all the antiquated
ideas Of blockade. Aeroplanes see
aeroplanes, masked batteries are spied
out and demolished and every activity
in land warfare Is visible. But deep
down in the sea the submarine is in
visible.

ahead, and I believe SecreSa-. Daniels
and his advisers In the Navy De-
partment have plans for establishing
quickly and adequately first line
of defence"
At this moment We are building In
our bridgeport yard the first Ameri-
can submarine capable OF making a
complete transatlantic trip. The G-3
when finished will be able II neces-
sary to make an undersea voyage to
Europe ard back again without stop
ping. The G-S will have a cruising
radius Of 5000 miles and be on a par
with any submarine craft in the world.
The whole question involved in craft
Of this kind Is economy OF fuel con-
sumption and superior engine con-
struction. There are nine OF these
boats building now, and when they are
completed the United States navy will
be a match for any navy in the world.
These are submarines OF the larger
type, each 900 feet long and equipped
with six torpedo tubes each. They
cost $685., 900 apiece and are types OF
the most superior submarine boat con-
struction in the world. They are run
by imported Swiss engines.
! might say that these Swiss engines
are pretty much like the engines used
in the German submarines. but with
certain improvements over the Ger
man style. The specifications for these
engines are in the hands OF the United
States Government and carefully
guarded. Beyond a doubt these new
submersibles are the equal In every
way, II not the superior. Of anything

$4,000 for building. A torpedo costs
about $500. The two combined car
destroy a SIS, O00. 900 battieship. One
of these tiny craft could be operated
by ten men. A superdreadnought
carries from 1000 to 500 men. From
an economic standpoint alone the sub
marine has superlative merits. Why
continue IA programme Of battleship
building?
What are the conditions in Europe
to-day in this respect7 Look at the
German fleets tied up In their har-
bors afraid to venture forth for fear
Of the undersea boats. It's a case of
David and Goliath. Why haven't the
Allies big battlers been able to pene-
trate the Dardanelles7 They had to
withdraw for fear Of the submarines
after costly experience which cost
them n number Of dreadnouRhts.
With sufficient submarines the Ger
mans could draw a Gordon about Eng

Here Is a picture OF IA" future as
! expect to see ii realized: Submarine
freighters will ply between the United
states and England They will travel
regular channels known only to their
captains and these routes close locked
in the possession of the shippers. Hos
tile submarines cannot find them; they
dash along deep under water, un-
molested.
Secret landing places are main
tanned. As they get close to the shore
the frcightcrs will rise and get IN
touch with the shore. Aernplanes MAY
guard their landing and Ice in "A posi-
ton to drop missiles on any hostile
craft. The whole plan is feasible:
more than that, tests have been made
which show 1t altogether practicable.
