repairing of rents in the navy and
the creating Of new fighting machines
is going ahead as never before. The
European war has thrown the lime

Lansing. counsellor OF the state de-
partmcnt. said in a speach at New
York recently. this lis a time for
serious thought. "A time FOR anxiety"
The general board. consisting OF
Admiral George Dewey and Rear Ad-

LAYERS and smaller auxiliaries. OF the
four battleship divisions the first two
are composed of first line ships, or
dreadnOughts (the sailor does not use
the term "dreadnOughts" y. Indeed
the second division has one second line
ship, the Kansas. But the addition Of
the Oklahoma and Nevada viii make
three divisions OF four dreadnoughts
each possible and OF these craft four
will carry the new 14-inch rifle.
The United States navy is the only
one IN the world to have afloat guns
Of 14-inch calibre at present 1t is
reported that Great Britain's new

16-incb guns, but the superiority Of
these 10 14-inch rifles is not certain.
They may give greater smashing pow
er 10 the prOjectiles, but they prob
ably will not increase the range. Draw
backs mas develop.
our own 14-inch gun does not have
a greater effective range than the
earlier 12-inch gun. The latter is re-
garded as one of the most efficient
types possible TO produce. Itss length
is Is times its diameter. which gives
great accuracy in sighting. In the
14-inch guns It was found necessary TO
reduce the length to 454 times the
diameter, or as calibres."
Perhaps the 12-inch gun is the more
accurate. but the 14-inch projectile
weighs LOO pounds against $40
pounds for the smaller weapon. Both
are enormously effective at eight
miles range. Critics think this is
the distance at which the great naval
battle between dreadnOughts, an en-
gagement the like of which the world
has never seen, will be fought.
In target practice OF the Virginia
capes recently, GunpOinter William
Ruff Of the Texas scored eight straight
hits with a 14-inch gun on a moving
target u miles away. This sounds
encoura ging.
In addition TO the Oklahoma and

HOW TO PREVENT

BY a Stomach Specialist.

As a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of

who complain of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is acid In the stomach, us
ualiy due to, or aggravated by, food
fermentation. Acid irrftates the deli
cate lining of the stomach and food
fermentation causes wind which dis
tends the stomach abnorInally, causing
tlat full .bloated feeling Thus both
acid and fermentation interfere with
and retard the process of digestion.
The stomach is usually healthy and
normal, but irritated almost past en-
durance by these foreign elements

of all stomach diffculties-the first

cold water Immediately after eating.

Life and Death. as pertains to Ha-
wall, finished a IL months race on

that the former won by a large lead.
The annual report CT the depart

Health. compiled by Miss NJ. Hester
Lemon, general registrar, was made
public today. following the submission
of a copy to Governor Pinkham-
During the year ending June 80 last,
says the report, there were 1873
births in the Territory. OF this num-
Der, 1926 were in Honolulu, and 1885
on the remainder OF Oahu. Births

Hawaii, 1900; Kalawao, Molokai, 20;
Kauai, S75, and Maui, 1903.
In the number Of births, the Japa-
nese led with 1877, nearly one-half
of the total. The Portuguese came
next with SS3 and the part-Hawaiians
third with 1856.
Deaths in the Territory during the
year numbered 1856, about 200 less
than the number Of births among the
Japanese. There were 1853 deaths in
Honolulu alone, and 401 on the rest
of Oahu. Hawaii had 973; Kalawao,
"A; Kauai 389 and Maui, 556.
in the total number Of deaths, the
Japanese led again with 1901. The
Hawaiians came next with SSS and the
Chinese third with 276.
The report shows that Dan Cupid"

so years old.
Other statistics in the report are as
follows: .
The death rate was 1888 per thous-
and during the year. The birth rate
among Hawaiians was 2210 per thous-
and, and the death rate was 1852 per
thousand, showing a decrease in the
latter of 14.72 per thousand people.
