reports from Europe, has been to
create a school Of navy officers here
who are said to be urging the aban-
donmeut Of dreadnought building in
favor Of a huge submarine feet. Other
officers declare the backbone Of the
navy must always be in first line bat
tleships and are urging larger and
more heavily armed dreadnoughts
than ever. Some plaCe-between these
two schools of theory. it is said. the
course of the department will lie in
its recommendations to congress.
Submarine Navy Practicable.
Officers who advocate the submarine
navy say that it is thoroughly prac-
ticable for the United States because
the mission of the American navy IS
10 defend the United States from in
vasiOn not to prepare the way for an
American invasion Of any enemy
country. That. they declare, has all
ways been the theory of the navy de
partment and accounts for the fact
that no great efforts have been made
to obtain appropriations for swift
battle cruisers such as those EN-
ployed by the British and German nav
les. Lacking q merchant marine to
be protected and being a seIf-con-
tanned nation. fully able to support
itself with the resources within its
own borders, they argue that battle
cruisers have not been considered
necessity to the United States navy
trated upon getting the greatest pos
sibIe number of heavy battleships.
floating fortresses to defend the
coasts. That theory. also accounts
for the lower speed Of American sup
erdreadnoughts it is said. and the
greater concentration Of gun power
in ships OF American design compared
to similar ships abroad
With fleets of submarines stationed
along both coasts and with navy
yards equipped TO care for them, those
officers argue that even the battleships
could be spared from the defense line
and that no enemy would dare ap-
proach with ships and transports a
coast well mined and defended with
land guns as we'll as submarines. The
risks would be too great. the chances
Of overwhelming disaster too many.

marines by aeroplanes also is consid-
cred impractical in any but special
cases where weather, depth Of water
and other conditions make it possible.
Bomb dropping from aeroplanes, even
other far reaching land fortifications
and other easily visible stationary OBJ
.iects has not proven so successful as
to give much promise where a small,
dimIy visible shape beneath the sur
face of the water is the target.
Similarly, submarine against sub
marine is not considered a possible de
veIopment Of undersea warfare unless
some new a8nd startling device TO give
submarine commanders the power of
underwater vision Is discovered. A
submarine is a blind thing, once its
periscope is below the surface. One
of the novel exploits Of the war, how
ever, was the sinking OF an Italian
submarine by an Austrian underwater
boat. The reports Of the encounter
however. were not sufficiently com
plete to indicate the value of that sort
of warfare

submarine with widening range Of ac-

EVERY mile that each Automobile runs, means an
automatic Sale Of Tires to replace that mileage with
4 4 Tires
But, all the Saesmanship, and all the Advertising
under the Sum- could not increase, by single Tire the total
sales Of Tires beyond the number of Cars owned by Con-
suers and the number OF Miles each Consumer runs his Car
yearly
The Market for Tires is therefore limited nfexiby, to
the number Of Cars running and the Mileage which each
Owner is induced to yearly.
Therefore opine that to promote greater Sales, and
greater use of Automobiles, few better incentives be
offered than raarkedly-Eoweed COST TO CONSUMERS for
Tires and Gasoline.
Just as we recognize that the only legitimate expansion
open to the Tire Industry whole would be due to the Sale
Of Automobiles each year Consumers with greater
average Mileage USE per year, of each Car by each Owner
That is why we favor the lowest possible price for

own home In the low-lands, or viii
whom 1t is all paid for and some years
ago my wife reached the conclusion
that Water Supply company was much
too high on their water charges, and
SO she invested seven dollars and
twenty cents in some pipe and a
pump. II took me two hours TO drive
the pipe down about twenty-eight
feet and we now have the very best
water imaginable.
We have no lawn tennis court, and
in the absence there my wife permits
me 60 exercise the pump han an hour
morning and eVens She contends
that II does me almost as much good
70 operate the pump, as II would to
spend an equal amount OF time on the
tennis court
But what | wanted to know is this
Do vou think II possible for some one
81 the "highbrows' who spend so much
time offering solutions Of the water
problem, to suggest some plan by
which We might invest few dollars
and provide electric light and tele-
phone service The water question
was easy for my wife. but the other
two subjects give as much more con-
Germ.
would arrange for my wife to APP
pear before the city council and clear
this water supply question, except for
the fact that she is very German and
does not command range of English
