PLANS BIGGEST WAR
VESSELS FOR u. S.
General Board Would Have Congress
Authorize Battleships Mounting
l6-inch Guns.

II the plans Of the General Board are
followed out. the new battleships to be
authorized at this session of Congress
will be the largest and most powerful
afloat and will be equipped with the big
gest caliber armament. Tentative plans
drawn up for their construction by the
naval authorities put their displacement
at 5000 tons and their armament ten
B-inCh guns
The recommendation for ten l6-inch
rifles comes direct from the General
Board and has the Endorsement Of many
ordnance authorities, although there is
a difference of opinion in naval circles
as to whether l6-inch or 14-inch guns
should prevail.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
yesterday that the most interest was
centered in the battleships and battle
cruisers, with expert opinion about
equally divided as to which Of these
types would be OF the greatest value for
the efficiency of the fleet. 1t is already
calculated that the speed for these battle
cruisers must not be under 35 knots
1t is believed at the Navy Department
that Congress will be disposed toward
the smaller type of coastal submarine in
preference to the fleet type.

burr M'INTOSH TALKS
TO Large AUDIENCE
Journalist Talks Interestingly at Be-
Iasco on The United States
and Its Menaces.

The large audiences that assembled
BeIasco Theater to hear Burr Mcintosh
ontably complimented the journalist and
public speaker, for it is unusual for
peolpe to go indoors on such a beautiful
spring day. II is further indicative OF
the growing interest generally IN the
subject Of preparedness, for Mr.. McIn-
Losh spoke on The United States and Its
MenaCes."
The speaker spoke on many Of the
unOmentous questions Of the day in an
earnest manner and lived up to his repu-
tation as a plain speaker.
His talk may be summarized as a plea
TO take the army and navy and its sup
porting activities out OF politics. and to
provide a proper merchant marine by
suitable subsidy Mr. Mcintosh stated
that the American flag will never again
oe returned TO the seas in the commercial
world until real patriotism triumphs over
petty politics. He ventured as a solu-
ton of the present state of things that
ne should have as President a business
man who has no political entanglements.
The many views, every one Of them an
Interesting picture Of the Burr Mcintosh
quality. depicted the great wealth OF the
country on the one hand and on the
Dther its pltlable heIplessness in the face
Of impending difficulties. The Philippine
question was plainly discussed during the
showing Of the Mcintosh collection OF
views taken when the Taft party
journeyed TO the islands.

BUSINESS BOOMS
over country
Richmond Reserve District
Shows Improvement, Says
Federal Bulletin.
MARCH RECORD MONTH
High Prices and Activity Reflected in
Earnings-Country Merchants
Are Heavy Buyers.

Business continues to show improve
ment, and agricultural conditions on the
whole are favorable in the Richmond
Federal Reserve District. says the May
issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
These conditions are in accordance with
stories of prosperity which come from
the eleven other districts
The Federal reserve agent of New
York sets forth the results of a detailed
inquiry into the condition of various
branches in the New York district as
follows:
THE volume Of goods produced and
sold during March was probably greater
than in any other March on record. The
business activity and the prevailing
high prices are being reflected in earn
ings and cash balances shown in pub
lished statements OF corporations Coun-
try merchants are reported to be buy
ing more goods than at any time since
1907 In view of the extraordinary con-
ditions and prices not a few are inclined
to question the wisdom of heavy COM
mitments in these times"
The detailed comment on separate
branches of business is given in this
excerpt from the New York report:
''Steel-Practically sold up with orders
for six months ahead Deliveries are
difficult owing to transportation condi-
tions Untitled orders of the United
States Steel Corporation on March 81
were 1881 ,O0l tons, against 4,2257i9 tons
a year ago.
"Leather-Not many military orders
now, but a heavy domestic demand
Prices are high and will probably con-
tinue so for some time Collections are
good.
Boots and shoes-Prices advancing
and business brisk
Prints and colored goods-In strong
demand and prices advancing
'Lumber-Trade improving; prices in
creasing.
Building and materiaIs-Business less
active; larger jobs about completed and
new work does not offer sufficient mar
gin of profit.
Department stores-Larger sales Of
better wearing apparel. More money
seen in circulation.
'Jewelry-Sales OF diamonds Ave times
larger than for several months past {;
pearls in good demand. Large silver
pieces called for notwithstanding ad-
vance in price OF metal Platinum lines

Lawrence. Kans.. April 9O.-The task OF
seIf-support among the women students
Of the University of Kansas includes
everything from cooking for harvest
hands to washing little white dogs while

practice is doing hOusework for faculty
women. One woman who is especially
anxious to get along without financial
aid works for a professors family while
she is in school and spends her vacations
help ing the farmers wives cook for
haryesters
The women who can do good steno-
graphic work are in great demand by the
professors. Women also do a great
deal Of typewriting for other students.
A few furnish themselves with a little
pocket money by playing the piano for
gymnasium classes Another solved the
problem Of making money last vacation
by making pennauts for the Santa Fe
Railroad Two room-mates who wanted
10 decorate their room but lacked the
funds have been giving a little white
log a bath once week, netting them 81
2 month.
