Shipping Gazette Advises the United States

Shipping Gazette Advises the United States
to Build Ships and be Ready for Business.
LONDON, Feb. TO- In an editorial
headed IA Chance for America" The
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette says:
cit does not say much for the brains be-
hind the American mercantile marine
movement that nobody is to the fore
with suggestion to seize the present
favorable opportunities to show that a
profitable United States shipbuilding in
dustry is possible. With conditions nor
NAL the firms on the other side of the
Atlantic cannot produce mercantile ships
as quickly or as cheaply as we can, but
conditions are not normal. Our ship
building industry is almost congested
with war work, and IN consequence of
dear material and labor our costs are
very high. Very few ships ordered now
can be delivered before we'll into next
year, and their first costs are what some
ship owners regard as ridiculously high.
''There is nothing, therefore, to him
der the Americans proceeding at once to
build feet of cargo steamers which
will be able to compete on fairly even
terms with our own when the war comes
to an end. They have the money. That
is, at any rate, a reasonable conclusion to
draw from the published statements of
American politicians. They have also
slightly improved organization, some of
the shipbuilding establishments in the
United States would rank with the most
efficient in the world, and at the mo-
ment, at any rate, American costs for
labor and material are reasonable. One
shipbuiIder boosted not long ago, as a
matter of fact, that American costs of
labor-not wages, be it noted-were
lower than the British.
"Why Americans do not take the
course we have indicated, instead of pro-
posing to spend money on unsuitable in
termed ships, is not for US to say. We
are content merely to express surprise
that they do not take it,

HOW ICE SHOULD BE STORED FOR
COUNTRY USE.

Ice is very perishable commodity
and, therefore, certain important prin-
ciples must be considered in the con-
struction of place to store it. Investi-
gators of the department consider that
there are four important things to be
considered in order to keep ice we'll.
These are as follows:
l. The ice must have a minimum of
surface exposed to the air or to the
packing material. This is most easily
accomplished by pliing the ice in the
form of cube. A mass of ice IL by II
by IL feet exposes less surface than the
same tonnage piled in any form less
nearly that of cube or of globe.
2. The keeping of good ice depends
upon the completeness of its insulation,
whereby it is protected from external
influences, such as heat and air.
3. Drainage is important because the
lack of it interferes with the insulation.
A. The ice itself must be packed so as
to prevent as completely as possible the
circulation of air through the mass, The
more nearly the mass of ice approaches
that of solid cube, both in shape and
texture, the easier, with good drainage
and insulation, will be the keeping prob
lem. The keeping of ice, then, depends
upon Ine shape VI tue uldSS, us lIlSuld-
ton, its drainage, and its solidity.
The ease and rapidity with which ice
may be gathered depends upon the con-
dition and location of the field as we'll as
upon the tools used for doing the work.
If the ice field is covered with snow
the formation of ice is retarded, as the
snow acts as a blanket and raises the
temperature, thus retarding the ice for
nation. If the ice sheet is sufficiently
thick and the snow falls upon it, the
snow must be removed before harvesting
can proceed; or if, on the other hand, it
is desirable to increase the thickness of
the ice after the snow falls, the field may
be flooded and the snow saturated with
water, which is allowed to freeze, thus
adding layer of snow ice. Flooding on
snail fields may be accomplished in either
of two ways: By "overfowing," which
consists merely in conducting water to
the field, or by piercing the ice field here
and there with a bar or auger, to allow
the water to force its way to the surface
and gradually to saturate the snow.
Snow may be removed from small
fields, when necessary, by means of
shovels, but upon large fields it will be
economical to use horsepower scrapers.

Notes Of Warning.
Great Britain and Germany Advised that
this Country will Safeguard American
Lives and pvc,...s.

Great Britain and Germany Advised thai
this Country will Safeguard American
Lives and Property.
WASHINGTON. Feb. II. Publication
Dy the State Department tonight OF the
text OF the notes sent yesterday to Great
Britain and Germany, respectively, re-
vealed that both countries had been
warned in most emphatic terms against
menacing the lives or vessels of Ameri-
can citizens travelling in the recently
proclaimed sea zones of war.
Germany was advised that the United
States would be constrained to hold the
Imperial German Government to strict
accountability" for such acts OF its
naval authorities as might result IN the
destruction of American vessels or the
loss of American lives and that if "such
a deplorable situation should arise" the
American government would "take any
steps it might be necessary to take to
safeguard American lives and property. "
10 Great Britain the United States
pointed out 1.-The measure of responsible
ity' which would seem to be imposed on
the British government, "for the loss of
American vessels or lives in case of an
attack by German naval force" if
England sanctioned the general misuse of
the American flag by British vessels,
and thereby cast doubt upon the valid
character of neutral ensigns.
The two communic cations were to have
been presented today respectively to the
British government by Ambassador Page
and to the German Foreign Office by
Ambassador Gerard. They were prepar-
ed by Counsellor Robert Lansing and re-
vlsed by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan after consultation with the entire
Cabinet.
The British, Spanish and Brazilian am
bassadors, who happened to call at the
State Department, were given copies of
the notes, as were the ministers of Swe-
den, Norway and Denmark who specif-
ically requested them. The documents
created something of sensation among
the diplomats generally, because of what
some regarded as their drastic implica-
lions.
High officials of the American govern
ment pointed out Informally that it had
been deemed advisable to speak in IN
mlstakable terms now, rather than to
await the alarming effect upon American
public opinion which might ensue from
the sinking of vessel with scores of
American citizens. The notes, officials
We're confident, will serve as prevent
i've of the critical possibilities discussed
in them.
Diplomats examined with great inter-
est the language of the communications
and some of them construed the note 10
Germany as warning that the loss of
American lives by sinking even a bellig-
erent merchant ship would be covered
by the representations of the American
government because of the insistence
that all merchant ships must be visited
and searched and passengers taken off
before ships can be sunk.

YOUR HEAD AND STOMACH

Headache caused by disturbed diges-
ton is nearly always accompanied by
pain in the stomach, belching of gas,
vomiting and often by constipation. This
sort of headache is generally located in
the forehead and is not constant but
comes and goes.
1t does not come on Immediately after
eating but after the food has had time to
ferment which it does because the diges-
tive fluids that should take care OF it are
insufficient, because the glands that Sc
crete these fluids are weak, because the
blood is failing to nourish these glands
properly.
Rich, red blood is the first essential to
proper digestion and the digestive pro-
cess cannot go on without it. When lack
of nourishing blood causes fermentation
and poisons are absorbed from the diges-
tive tract, the pain in your head advises
you of the fact. Dr. Williams Pink Pills
give the blood just the elements they
need to correct this condition and, with
laxative, when required, form perfect
treatment for the headaches of indiges-
ton.
Mention this paper and we will send
you two little books on the diet and the
proper use of laxative Address: DR..

CAT STORIES.
[Atchison, Kansas, Globe.]

A North Third street family has
talking" cat. The cat has certain
meows, which the family understand. If
it wants to 60 out doors its meow is
growl; if it wants something to eat it
meows in squeaky soprano, and if it
wants to be petted it has a gentle little
meow which is engaging. The cat shakes
hands, and shows unusual intelligence for
cat. AS rule men dislike cats, but
this cat is so smart and we'll behaved
that the man of the house buys cans of
salmon especially for it, and the cat is so
fond of salmon that the salmon is quite
an item on the family grocery bill.
Mrs. A. A. Bennett, the groceryman'
wife, has smart cat. Lately the cat
came to Mrs. Bennett meowing violently,
but Mrs. Bennett did not pay any atten-
ton. The cat would disappear, and then
come back and look up to Mrs. Bennett
and meow piteously. Finally, yesterday
the cat laid three kittens one by one at
Mrs. Bennett 8 feet. Mrs. Bennett knew
the cat had four kittens in the barn, and
she suddenly realized what she wanted;
she went to the barn and sure enough
one of the kittens had fallen down into a
hole
An old cat had four kittens in the barn
at Judge Whites home. Several weeks
ago she picked up one of the kittens and
went up the street to Tom Moxcey' S
barn, where she established herself with
the kitten. and no amount of persuasion
could induce her to recognize her other
three kittens. Floyd White is raising
them by hand, and it is pretty sight to
see those kittens tag him around; they
adore him. When he drives the horse
around from the barn to the front of the
house, the kittens, looking like puff
balls. with their tails erect, march proud
ly behind the buggy, and then scamper
through the White yard back to the barn.

 Among the excuses offered for non payment of the 1909 and 1910 taxes were many hard luck tales but the majority were surprised owners who failed to have the records properly searched and were unaware that previous owners had omitted this nec- tessaTy formality in connection with their ownership.
 Approximately 800 notices have been sent to as many delinquents in this city A rush at the offices this morning followed, with premises to pay within a limited time

SILENT WOMAN OF II LAKEvIEW HOME IS
 FOUND BY HUSBAND

Following a weeks search through out the East in which police and char tties officials of many cities have been enlisted the woman of. mystery at Lakeview was this afternoon identi- fled as Mrs. Pincus Cohen, wife of a. wel-to-do merchant of 2s117 Dean street, Brooklyn, N. Y. The identifca- tion was made by MT. Cohen who, ac- conpanied by a sister-in-law, came to Bridgeport following information giv- en them by the Brooklyn police. The
 meeting was affecting; Mrs. Cohen rec ognizing her husband as he left the trolley car at Old MdIl Green and turned sdnto: Asylum street. Running wildly she went to meet him. break ing her weeks silence and showing great relief at being once more with friends.
 How she got to Bridgeport clad only in a wrapper and hatless, is a mys- tery. She last remembers leaving her Brooklyn home, remembrance does not include the date or time of day, worried to distraction over a fancied 1 illness. She has a hay remembrance of having a ticket to Bridgeport in her hand.
 The night of the same day that she disappeared from Brooklyn she was discovered acting strangely on High street. Her clothing and conduct re- suited in the police taking her to l headquarters and afterwards she was examined by an emergency hospital

GRAND LIST SHOWS GRO TH OF OVER
 THREE MILLIONS

According to the figures which Clerk Loren DeIbridge of the board of tax assessors has compiled, Bridgeport s grand list for 1914 will be $3s517. .670 greater than the 1913 Clerk Delibridge estimates the grand list for 1914 at $115. I'll. .279. For 1913 it was SIP, ,96, ,709. It is estimated that the board of relief will not reduce these figures more than S400. .000 so that the total grand list will be at least $115, 900 GOO.
 Clerk De1bridge following orders from Mayor Wilson, carried the list to him before he showed it to any member of the board of tax assessors. The mayor gave the list for publtca- ton in a Sunday newspaper yesterday before any member of the board had seen the list or had been consulted about it. In making up the list Clerk Delbridge has been in the habit for the past month of going to the city hall in the middle of the afternoon and working there until late at night. MT. Delbridge claims he was able to do more efficient work after the reg ular business hours.
 Mayor Wilson would not discuss the grand list today but said he hop ed to get the tax rate down to 16 mills at least and possibly lower. There is still a large amount due from property owners for assess ments for permanent pavernents which is to be paid during the next year. The mayor desires to have No ble avenue widened from Barnum avenue to Berkshire avenue. It is estimated that $56, 1000 will be re- l Quired for permanent pavement in Noble avenue after it is widened and l if the assessments against the prop erty owners are not large enough t6 meet this amount, the mayor will ask l the board of apportionment to pro- vide the money.
