LARGER SUBMARINES SOUGHT BY THE NAVY
 FROM LESSONS OF WAR
Naval Experts Asked That Small Sub- mersibles Be Dropped From Naval Programme-However the
 Little Ones Will Stay

Washington, December &.-Seagoina submarines of 20OO tons displacement probably will soon be sought for the learned by the navy department ex- perts from the European war and re- cent maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet. It is possible, 1t was learned tonight, that the first five submarines included in the administrators five-year build ing programme will approach this size, although the estimates submitted were based on boats of the 1300-ton class.
 In contrast to this development of type of giant submersible naval of- ficers are inclined to believe that the so-called coast defense boats will be standardized at about 400 tons dis placement. The name should be, it is asserted, harbor defense rather than coast defense craft, as 1t has been demonstrated that the sphere of action of these boats is limited to a hundred miles or less off shore.
 Twenty-Five smaller submarines are included in the administration pro- gramme for this year at an estimated cost of between $600.000 and $700,0O0 each. The estimate would provide for vessels of 500 to 700 tons displacement. Increasing the size of the fleet subma- rines and decreasing that of the small CT boats could be accomplished, it Is pointed out. without altering the total expenditures proposed /
 Virtually all seagoing flag officers and the commissioned personnel gen. erally of the submarine flotillas are said to favor building larger craft for sea work.
 Some officers. it is said, believe the smaller submarines should be aban- doned entirely. but others believe it has been shown that there are two dis tinct fields of activity for submarines which could be recognized. In shallow waters off the coast. 1t is contended the big boats would be almost useless because of their draft

Is KILLED BY STORM.

Twentyone deaths and list
OF injured that may run to half a
hundred was the toll taken by
two cyclonic storms Thursday
afternoon. The first broke in the
vicinity Of Acadia parish, south
west Louisiana, and the second
in the vicinity Of Jamestown,
north Mississippi. The loss of
life in Louisiana totaled fifteen
and may probably run beyond
this figure. In Mississippi six
lives are known to have been lost.
The property damages in Louisi-
ana is placed at 100000. The
figures for Mississippi are not OBJ
tainable but will be equally large.
Wires are down throughout
Coahoma county, where the fury
of the storm was greatest and
details Of the havoc wrought hy
the wind are difficult to obtain.

Just a little bit more looking to

bish which can be burned should
be disposed Of in that way; 9th
erwise bury, or place same at the
disposal Of the garbage carts.
Low places on the premises should
be drained and filled in when
practicable; no place is better
liked by the mosquito than a
stagnant pool Of water. Stable
manure and the like should be re-
moved as soon as possible: the fly,
one Of the worst enemies the hui
man race has, makes its home in
such localities
The local health authorities
join with the Governor in asking
all to aid in this movement, and
not only to clean up but to keep
clean
The Proclamation of Governor
Hall follows:
Whereas, request has been
made by the Confederate Womens
clubs Of Louisiana that. follow
ing the precedent set elsewhere,
a cleanup day be named for this
state: and.
Whereas. the observance of
such day throughout the state
will tend to develop and foster
better health standards, and bring

FACTORY.

At the invitation Of Mr.. Vic J
Erath, manager Of the Erath Ice
and Bottling Works, we were
taken through the Factory to see
the changes and improved machin
cry recently installed for the man
ufacture Of soda, mineral waters
and COCO cola. It was lndeeo d
revelation to us to see the number
Of changes made recently by the
energetic proprietors Every ma
chine installed is in compliance
with the Sanitary laws of the
State Health Board of Louisiana.
All of the different preparations
is made with distilled water which
is 100 per cent. pure. Formerly
1t was necessary to have a num-
ber of boys cleaning the bottles
which is used for the different
soda water; now all of the empty
bottles are placed in machine
which revolves every twenty min
utes after the walls have been
thoroughly soaked in hot water
and made sanitary. Each bottle
is placed in a fountain which has
a brush attached which revolves
at thousands of revolutions each
minute. The bottle is then thor
oughly wrenched with fresh
water by strong spray which
make them perfectly clean and
ready to be refilled. This estab-
lishment has built up an immense
trade throughout the Attakapas
parishes as their products is rec
ognized as the best manufactured.
Aside from their mineral water
department is the Ice Factory
which has a capacity Of twenty
five tons per day. All told there
