ly to extend its preventive work
among girls and thereby reduce the
yearly percentage of loss. Mrs.
Powell also told of the plans made !
to safeguard girls who go to the
Panama Exposition either for work or |
for pleasure and the influences OF
protection that are thrown around |

gave a demonstration and explanation
OF these valuable aids to the study 1
of the Bible at home and in school. |
Mrs. Earll has so grouped and classi-
fed the books of both the Old and |
New Testament on her charts that an /
adult may in thirty minutes be able
to repeat them all in order forward
and backward without any hesitation
or difficulty. This offers a simplified

army and navy in securing craft suit
able TO the eNactinS requirements of the
two services. The inability to obtain
suitable apparatus in this country led
the Navy Department to order a number
of flying machines abroad, but when
hostllities broke out these machines
could not be obtained.
II Is believed that with the aid of the
national advisory committee co-ordinat-
ing with the army and navy aeronautical
officials and with private enterprises de-
voted to the science of flight, much
will be accomplished in promoting the
efficiency and development of types of air
craft much better suited to the military
services than those which are now avail

Army and Navy Jottings

There probably will be as little de-
lay as possible on the part of the
Navy Department in seeking bids for
the construction of submarines au-
thoriZed at the late session of Con-
gress. 1t is desired to award con-
tracts and begin the work as soon as
ipusSiblc The designs will be. in gen
eral. 4 reproduction OF those for which
contracts We're recently awarded. with
the possible exception of a slight in
crease in displacement and the pro-
vision of greater steaming radius.
The other changes in specifications
will be of a minor character.
Some consideration lately has been
given by the authorities to the color
Of the submarines. in view of the
discovery by aviators that it may be
possible to detect the presence of a
submerged boat by an aerial observer.
1T is believed il will be possible TO
adopt color which will make such
Identification difficult, if not impos-
sible, and it probab bly, will take ex-
tensive investigation of the subject
t" accomplish what is desired in that
direction. There is a theory that II
would be of advantage to have several

herring TO uniformity of shade: in other
words. it may Toe advantageous :,
appearance as 4 means of protection.
Several projects are in process of
formation in the Navy Department con-
corning departmental organization on the
theory that the provision in the naval
appropriation act Of March for chief
OF naval operations renders it necessary
to make some important. II not radical,
changes. Mr.. Daniels is understood as
refusing TO give support to the theory
that there is any occasion for material
notifications Of the existing situation.
He was apprehensive. at the time the
legislation was first proposed, that there
would be difficulties created by n con-
troversy over the determination of the
duties attaching to the new Office. and.
acting upon the suggestion derived from
he Capitol he was instrumental in
changing the phraseology of the clause
so there should be little. or at least less.
as to the responsibilities and
reposing in the chief of naval
operations. Plainly speaking. Mr.. DAN
!els entertains something akin to alarm
lest there be Incorporated in the DEPART
mental organization a factor that shall |
and develop into. a general |
staff. He believes he Is entitled to con- |
graduate himself on the wisdom he has
