United States Battleship Arizona
Is to Be Launched on June 18th

OF the Arizona the keel of the navy
departments greatest experiment in
naval construction the electrically
driven super-dreadnaught California,
will be laid at the New York navy
yard. She will be nearly a thou-(
sand tons heavier than the Arizona,
although carrying the came equip
ment and arrangement of guns, but
is expected to develop greater speed
than the 81 knots desired of the
Arizona.
Comparing the most recent gov
ernment-built battleship to the first
turned out, navy officials point to
the fact that although the Arizona
has twelve guns to the Connecticuts
four and displaces 1900 tons more
water, being nearly twice as large,
she will carry only 915 men as
against the 1912 needed to handle
the smaller ship. This is due to the
improvement in mechanical appli-
ances for ~battleships in the last
decade and also to the fact that oil
has been substituted for coal as fuel.
oCCl CdoluS Nv hCICSodi u "
force, and that only two sizes of
guns compose her armament against
the four sizes aboard the Connecti-
cut. The result is a reduction in
ammunition handling forces.
The Arizona will be sponsored by
Miss Esthr Rose of Preston, Ariz.,
nominated by Governor Hunt of that
state. AS she looks in the water
Immediately after launching, the
ship will have cost the government
$7,425,00O. An even greater sum
will go for her guns and armor and
other equipment, and when she
goes into commission her cost to the
country will have reached the huge
total of $4,000, 900 or more. This
cost represents a reduction of nearly
100000 in guns and armor, accord
ing to the navy department, under
the prices paid for the Pennsylvan-
las offensive and defensive equip
ment. 1t was in dealing with con-
tracts for the AriZona's armor that
Secretary Daniels demanded COM
petitive bidding and succeeded in eff
fecting the saving.

PRODUCTION OF BARYTES
In THE UNITED STATES

During 1914 the people OF the
United States used 34,315 short tons
of refined barytes and paid $447,35S
for it, according to statistics COM
piled by James NJ. Hill of the United
States geological survey. Most OF
this product was used in the large
quantity Of white paint required by
the general response to the slogan,
Clean up, paint up.
The barytes mines of Missouri,
Alabama, California, Georgia, Ken
lucky, North Carolina and Virginia
dug 51,547 tons during 1914, for
which they received $153,715, or
$2.9S a ton.
An item of particular interest dur
ing 1914 was the discovery that the
barytes veins near Ell Portal, Mari
posa county, California, turn into
witherite of commercial size were I'M
known in the United States. and all
the barium carbonate we used was
either imported from Germany or
made from barytes at considerable
expense.
Another stride in the Made in
America movement is the establish
ment of plants for the manufacture
of barium chemicals at Charles
town. w. Va, at at MelrOse, Cal.
Surely we are not dependent on any
foreign country for these chemicals
when there is an abundant supply OF
crude material at home and plenty
of capital and knowledge to work
Up the material.

The uncertain conditions of the
past year and the great demands for
unusual charitable contributions have
brought home to a great many of our
citizens the thought of economy as
never before.
The Northwestern National bank
of Minneapolis reports that the aver
age balance to the credit of it's sew
eral thousand savings depositors is
$40 higher than it was a year ago.
A firm of investment bankers of
New York, in an effort to get the
correct idea of the present financial
situation, asked 1000 leaders of
business throughout the country a
number of questions, including this
one.
Are people generally disposed to
economize? If SO, is this economy
caused by reduced earnings or in
creased thriftiness?" Stricter econ
omy is general, said most of the an
swers-of necessity, said 485 of
them.
The New York superintendent of
hanks reports savings deposits on
January l almost 100000, 900 in ex-
cess of those of a ear previous, with
$1,000 additional depositors.
This is not the first time that it
has been demonstrated that savings
bank deposits grow larger and capt.
tai accumulates during periods Of
depression than during the flush
times, when employment is abund-
ant and wages are high.
1t is simply human nature to act
in this way. But those who want to
win a permanent financial success
must overcome this tendency to drift
along the line of least resistance.
Let them get the taste for saving,
and it will breed in them both the
desire and the ability to create per-
manent resources, in other words. to
become money-makers.-T. ID. Mac
Gregor.

Difference to public opinion at home,
a new British commander will direct
the assembly, but he will be the /. g.
distinguished disciple of the late
generalissimo. Any other plan than
this might have spread serious dis
content in the British army.
1t probably would have been dis
astrous, for instance, if a general
known to be strong partisan of Lord
Kitchener had succeeded to the SUI
preme field command. The British
war minister and Sir John French
are antagonistic personalities, and
the latter is by. far the most popular
with the army commanders. The de-
tails of Sir John French's retirement
have obviously been arranged in such
fashion as to make it impossible for
the Kitchener faction to claim a vic
tory.

I, Sir John French has been sacri-
feed to the immense superiority
which modern trench warfare gives
to the defense.
The failure of the British army to
break through the German western
front has caused constant criticism
Of Sir John French among his coun-
trymen at home. He is now relieved
Of his command because British CIV
ilians are not convinced Belgium and
northern France cannot be freed by
military measures. It is apparent
that the army sympathizes with the
recalled field marshal Otherwise,
the elaborate arrangements for soft
ening Sir Johns fall would not have
been made. He not only has been
raised to the peerage and given COM
mand Of the British home defenses,
but also he has been allowed to select
his own successor at the front.
Sir Douglas Haig is Sir John
French's most intimate friend and
most constant adviser. The two
made their regulations while acting
together during the South African
war, and during all the operations
in France and Belgium the British
commander-in-ch chief has put his chief
trust in General Haig. If Sir John
French's policies have been failures
during the last II months, General
Haig is largely responsible.
But, the British have failed, in
reality, only when the French and
Germans also have been unable to
make headway. Since trench fight
ing began along the western front,
at the conclusion of the battle of the
Marne, every major offensive, by
whomever attempted, has broken
down.
Nevertheless, it now seems another
effort to overwhelm the German de-
fense eventually is to be made. In

(In the Chicago Tribune).

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 17.-It is
dark. Not even the rattle of the
first milk wagon has been heard on
Capitol hill and still lacks two hours
before the gold dome of the con-
,gressional library will reflect the
morning sun.
The measured beat of heel taps on
the wooded cover of the marble
steps leading to the house office
building can be heard as the solitary
figure of man, tall, gaunt, and
dressed in black, mounts the incline.

work. His quiet "good morning"

Lindberg, besides being a million
aire, is the early bird of the Sixty
fourth congress. He goes to work
between 4 and o'clock every morn
ing. When the secretary arrives at
the office at o'clock he finds the
congressman busy at his desk, with
the electric bulbs assisting the dim
natural light.
Has Only Telepathc Secretary.
The congressman is the possessor
of the only telepathic secretary in
the building. In his early morning
work Mr.. Lindberg prepares abbrevi-
ated notes which the secretary by
some supernatural power is able to
translate into letters later in the day.
The congressman admits that he
himself is unable to translate the
notes after writing them.
Lindberg is a strong believer in
the removal of private interests from
the opportunity to influence congress
sional action. Upon his election five
terms back he relinquished his posi-
tiOn as legal adviser for the Weyer-
hauser lumber interests, gave up his
law practice, resigned from director

stock in three Others

object the prevention of the appoint
