clares war on any one that stands in the
way. 1t gives the impression Of follow
ing the worthwhile things; sort Of step
ping over trihes. It's the walk of the
business woman who is q success. It
goes with trim ankles and level heels.
There's the swaying, loose-jointed
amble that means Indifference. The feet
that go with it are usually clad in high
heeled elaborate shoes and fancy hose
that don't match anything; they're usu-

legs show.

peg of ill natured heels. There's a jeal-
Gus walk where the feet are showed ahead
of each other, toes pointed straight to
the front, shoulders squared and arms
held taut at the sides. The despairing
walk has the downcast head, the sunken
chest, the slow, heavy dragging of feet.
Conceit is indicated by the abdominal
walk. It's a sort Of self-assertive
shuttle.
Have you ever been fascinated by the
glide that is soft and smooth as velvet?
You're not sure how the woman who
walks that way gets anywhere; you're
conscious only Of her head and shoulders
moving. That's the walk of the deep,
emotional nature; the one that cares only
for the soft, the beautiful, and luxurious.

GUNS FOR WASPS
Armament Of New American
Destroyers win Have Dis
=, tlnctive Features

A distinct departure in the armament
Of American destroyers has been APP
proved by the navy department in
the design OF the six new destroyers
authorized by this years appTopria-
ton bill. This is the Introduction Of
anti-aircraft guns and center line
arrangements for the torpedo tubes.
Each of the new destroyers will carry
twelve torpedo tubes which will be
arranged in four triple. tubed batteries
along the center line Of the main deck
instead Of being located along the
sides Of the deck as in former classes
of destroyers. -.
The new destroyers will each mount
two one pound anti-aircraft guns and
will be the first American destroyers
to be equipped with such weapons.
The advantage Of the center. line ar.
rangement for the torpedo tubes Is
that all the tubes may be fred on
either broadside. These vessels, there.
fore, may Are twelve torpedoes at a
target simultaneously. Under previ'
GUS arrangement American destroyers
had broadside fire from but SIX
tubes. .-l
In connection with the design Of
these new destroyers special effort has
been made to utilize the information
available as a result Of the European
war The center line arrangement Is
not of foreign origin, however, but
merely an application to desroyers OF
the great gun arrangement which for
some years has distinguished Ameri.

the guns Of large caliber may be fired
on either broadside. For some months
past opinion has been divided among
experts in the United States over this
proposed innovation in destroyer ar
mament the principal objection beine
that il was claimed that n torpedo

WAR DEVELOPMENTS
. AND DATTlESH|PS
Naval Designers Delay Plans and
Specifications For New
American Bulldogs

Completion Of plans and speeifica'
tions for the two battleships authorized
nj the last session Of congress has been
delayed by the naval designers in the
hope that there would be developments
from the European conflict that would
be of value in determining many moot
questions relating to ships Of war. Not
much information Of this kind has
reached the navy department, and now
the Secretary of. the Navy has directed
that the plans and specifications be
pushed to completion and that bids for
construction Of the vessels be invited
as soon as practicable.
The new designs win not show as
many changes over battleships now UNI

expected as result Of naval opera.
tions abroad. IL had been thought that
there would have been a naval action
nv this time between big ships of the
allies and the Germans that would have
fJliseIosed something conclusive, but
that has not been the ease. The prtn7
cipal lesson derived from the European
war in naval way has to do with pro.
lection against submarine attacks, and
the naval experts now are convinced
that this must be met by internal con
struction, by an arrangement of sub
divisions that will protect the, vitals
of n ship without diminishing its speed
or reducing to any appreciable extent
the weights that represent arnior, arm
ament and propelling machinery. This
is the problem that Is giving the ex
perts the occasion of careful thought
and accounts for the delays that have
occurred and are destined to ensue N
connection with battleship design.

ent Investigations are under way that
aim to show in what direction and by
what means it win be possible to re
sist torpedo attack; but, for the mos
part, it is apprehended that there mus
be reliance upon a form of protection
that is a part of the permanent install

some exterior means, as, for example
torpedo nets. ~ ~
