Remarkable Progress Made in
Submarine Craft.
Increased Speed and Accuracy in At
tack Most Important Advance
Nations In FeVerish Haste
to Guido Each Other.

London.-The improvements which
have been effected in the design and
construction of submersible craft dur
ing the past few months have been
little short Of remarkable. At the end
Of last July the finest underwater
craft possessed by the admiralty were
the nine new boats of the E class, dis
placing 72S tons on the surface and
$40 when submerged These had a
surface and submerged speed of Is
and 10 knots respectively, carried two
12-pounder guns and four tubes fir
ing 21-inch torpedoes.
Almost at the very outbreak of hos
tilities the submersible, which had al
ways been looked upon as likely to
prove of value for defensive purposes
only, demonstrated it's value as a
weapon of offense. Immediately every
nation began with feverish haste to
lay down underwater craft of new and
improved design. Several of these
boats are now in commission, and
while for obvious reasons nothing may
be said as to the new British ocean
going submersibles of the F, V and
w classes, there are a number of
facts which may be made public re-
garding the submersible craft Of 9th
er countries.
The vessels Germany has completed
and put in commission since last July
are of from 800 to 1000 tons displace-
ment. Their length is from 213 to
230 feet and they have beam of 80
feet. Photographs have been pub
lished of the U-36, the vessel which
captured the Dutchman, Batavier v.
1t has been remarked regarding her
that it would seem that her very size
exposed her unduly to danger in the
narrow seas and the opinion has been
vouchsafed that she will fall an easier
prey than would some of the smaller
submersibles should she be attacked
by destroyers.
It is not quite clear what that opin-
ion is founded upon and so far the
Germans seem to have made very few
mistakes in connection with their sub
marines. It is not known how many
may be taken that since the end of
July they have launched and fitted up
at least nineteen of these big SUBJ
mersible cruisers, one of which is fit
ted with engines of from 5000 to 1000
horsepower.
The new German submersibles are
armed with four tubes firing 1912

self With Good Qualities of
That Liquid.

Vinegar is useful in many ways
other than culinary. 1t will remove
shoe-blacking from clothing.
1t will remove fly specks from ale
most anything windows, picture
frames, woodwork, etc.
Vinegar is something of tonic for
the skin, and cures roughness of the
skin and chatting if applied after wash
ing the hands. 1t should be permitted
to dry on.
1t will soften paintbrush on which
the paint has been permitted to dry.
Heat the vinegar to the boiling point
and let the brush simmer in it few
minutes. Then remove it and wash it
well in strong soapsuds.
Vinegar is uhrivaled as an agent for
cleaning dirt and smoke from walls
and woodwork, especially yellow pine.
1t should be applied with a flannel
cloth, and the flannel washed out in
clear water as soon as it becomes
soiled and before being dipped into the
vinegar again. This makes the vinegar
an inexpensive cleaner, besides being
the most satisfactory way in which
the work7can be done.

WILL STUDY LASSEN
Volcano in California Is Under
Close Observation.
Forest Service Co-Operates With
Geological Survey In Recording
Dangerous Peaks Activity as
Basis for Scientific Study.

Washington. - Mt. Lassen, Cal,
whose violent eruption of May 49,,
places it in the first rank of volcanoes
now dangerously active, has become
the subject of an informal cooperative
study by the geological survey and the
forest service. At the request of the
survey, telegram has been sent from
Washington instructing the officers of
the Lassen national forest, in which
the peak stands, to continue observa-
lions of the volcanoes activity and keep
a record to be used as basis for a
scientific investigation by ]. S. DilleT,
a government geologist, who will take
up the work later.
The observations are being made by
forest rangers at the scene and from
a fire lookout tower on Br0keoff noun
tain, a few miles north of the crater,
where the forest service last year kept
watch on the numerous eruptions
which occurred from May to Septem-
Der.
It is not known whether a cloud
burst started the last eruption by pre-
cipitating rain down upon the molten
lava in the crater, or whether melting
Of the snow on the peak, with conse-
quent flowing of water into the crater,
caused the accumulation of steam
which blew river of mud out of the
mountain. Mr.. Diller, who made
study of the volcano last year, said
that he inclined toward the melted
snow theory, adding that the bright
glow reported as appearing on the
clouds of smoke and steam over the
crater is a reflection of the red-hot
matter uncovered by the eruption, in
dicating that the volcano is in a more
or less dangerous mood
The river of mud which was shot
out of the north side of the crater and
down Hat creek has damaged govern
ment and private property, says a
wireless to the forest service from San
Francisco, destroying bridges which
were necessary to permit the entrance
of live stock that are grazed on the
Lassen forest every year.
Mt. Lassen is regarded as execution
ally interesting from scientific view
point, according to the geological sur
vey, inasmuch as it is the only active
volcano in the United States proper,
is very accessible to observers, and ap-
pears to be full of dangerous possibil-
tiles. There is much that is not known
ABOUT volcanoes. and Lassen is expect
ed by biologists to furnish a consider

KEEPING THE RANGE SHINY
q Little Work, and the Knowing How,
win Prevent It Ever Becon1-
ing Dull or Red.

To a good housekeeper nothing Is
more unsightly than dull or red iron
range. Much energy is wasted by
these same housewives trying, yet not
knowing how to correct the trouble.
Here is suggestion:
Let the range cool (not get cold.
Scrub it as you would boards, all over
the top thoroughly, with hot water
and soap; let it dry. Have thick
lambs wool mitten such as comes for
the purpose; slip the hand in it. Rub
paraffin wax over the range, then rub
it in with the mitten When there is
an even coat, shake powdered stove
blacking over it and rub it in with the
same mitten. Behold beautiful, shiny
range!
Perhaps it will wear off soon. Do
not feel discouraged, for it will last
much longer than when polished by
the old method, and no vigorous, tire
some polishing with brushes; no dust;
to say nothing of having clean hands.
This may be done after breakfast.
If the fire is used at noon or night
lust give it a rub with the mitten, not
using any more paraf1n or powder
this time In the absence of mltten
old underwear serves admirably.
The range should only be scrubbed
once before first applying paraffiR.

FOR UNDERSEA WAR

inch torpedoes, an antiaircraft gun
and two IA Founders, and there is
reason to believe that while the I'M
derwater speed of these boats is only
about IL knots at most their design
is such that they can travel at 20 to
"a knots on the surface.
But it is not only in speed and size
that developments have been made.
The sight" of the submarine has
been improved and the modern peri
scope is fitted with a compass by
which it is now possible for helms
man to steer to fractions of degree
instead of to one-quarter points as
before. The accuracy with which a
torpedo can be fired is greatly in
creased by this and in the newest
boats it is possible to obtain the bear
ings of an enemy ship some miles
away and set course which without
the periscope having to be shown
above water, will bring the boat to a
point from which a torpedo may be
fired with absolute certainty of it's
hitting it's target.

Repeal of Law Urged In House.

Madison.-The repeal of the mill
tax for the support of the state uni
versity and normal schools was ia
vored by the Wisconsin assembly
when it sent to engrossment two bills
offered by Assemblyman Ellingson of
Rusk county to accomplish this pur-
pose. Both bills had received unani-
nous report from the joint committee
on finance for indefinite postpone
ment. The university mill tax bill
created long debate. Assemblyman
Mortenson claimed that there was per-
petuity to a mill tax and it assured
the educational institutions a reason
able support. He said it was definite
and increased in proportion to the as
sessed valuation of the property of the
state. He declared that the mill tax
increases had not kept pace with the
increase at the university. Assembly
man Ellingson, favoring the repeal of
the mill tax law, said that the legisla-
ture should pass directly on every dol
lar for the support of the university.

Phillip Renews Single Board Plan.

Phillip Renews Single Board Plan.
The central board of education plan
formed the subject of special mes
sage sent to the legislature by Gov.
E. L. Philip.
In this message the governor calls
attention to what he calls a growing
sentiment against the present system
of governing educational institutions
in Wisconsin. He asserts too much
time, attention and money are devot-
ed to the higher branches of educa-
ton at the expense of the common
schools. BE reviews the bill now be-
fore the legislature providing for the
creation of central board of educa-
ton and asks the senators and as
semblymen to cooperate for the pre-
vention Of confusion in educational
work in the state.
After taking up the provisions of
the bill in detail, the governor turns
to the working out of the plan for a
central board in other states and
points out the degree of success which
has been met. New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Florida and Idaho are
mentioned as having been successful
in their adoption of the plan and Kan
sas and Oklahoma are mentioned as
working under plan which requires
little change to be a success.
Pleas for the advancement of the
rural school and the common or grad
ed schools form an important part of
the message.

income Tax Not Endanqereo.

There is no disposition on my par
to destroy or even injure the preseh'
income tax law" said Governor Phll-
ipp in an interview.
The governor was asked to MAKE
statement because the admlnlstrd-
ton bill abolishing the present tax
commission has been heralded as a di-
rect attack on this law and cam
paign against the passage OF the Dill
started.
The chief argument made against
the bill is that it will kill of the IN
come tax law. Some attempts nave
been made to show that one-man
tax commission (although the bill pro-
vides for three members) would not
work out for the benefit of the peo-
pie. Yet in one paper. D. O. Kinsman,
recognized tax expert, came out In
favor of one-man commission. In
further explanation of his stand, Gov
ernor Philip said;
For the present at least it is the
policy of the people to assess an in
come tax, and until l can be satisfied
that the people want to get rid of this
form of taxation, 1 will not favor leg
islation that will in any way nullify
the present law or interfere with car
rying out its provisions. My only in
tent, so far as the income tax law is
concerned, is to reduce cost of admin
istration, which, as everyone knows,
is abnormally high. There seems to
be no sound reason for this.
1.-THE United States government col
lects its income tax through the same
agency that it collects it's internal
revenue, and in Wisconsin there are
only two collectors of internal reve-
nue. l am informed that at the head
quarters of the eastern district at Mil
waukee all the extra expense needed
to collect the income tax was in the
form of small sum paid out for the
hire of eight additional clerks. For
the collection or administration of the
state income tax, however, we have
spent some $4,000, or more, in sim
gle year. We have about forty-one as
SCISSORS and their assistants
"Of course, as has been expected,
the criticism has been made that the
proposed bill will throw the income
tax into politics. Of late, however,
it seems that every attempt to give
back to the people power taken away
from them by bureaucratic govern
ment is criticized as political move.
Therefore l do not believe we need
pay much attention to such state
ments. The destruction theory is
fsr-fetched and is used entirely in the
interests of the present organization.
Under the new bill the tax commits
sion is given full and sufficient author
ity to make income tax administra-
ton a success. AS a matter of fact
the people of the state object and OBJ
ject seriously to the idea of having
some one sent into their localities and
given such arbitrary power as is given
income tax assessors.
