BIG BOARD USED
TO SHOW SPEED
MADE ON Ships

At the navy yard, Mare Island, CAL,
Is displayed a large board having
painted upon II figures resembling
thermometers and used to show at a
glance the progress being made on
ships building at that station com.
pared with progress on similar ships
at other navy yards. says the Armv
and Navy Register of July IL.
The board Is about ten feet high
and four feet wide, with black gradu-
ton marks showing percentages of
completion in place of the degrees OF
temperature that would be on q real
thermometer. The date of laying the
keel is shown on the bulb of each ini-
tation thermometer, and progress 10
ward completion is registered by
painting the stem red, adding to its
height each month as the monthly
reports of progress are received.
This device at Mare Island is post.
ed on the side Of one of the manu-
featuring department buildings near
the main gate, where every workman
coming into the yard sees lit. In this
way all are kept informed OF how their
own yard compares win others In
rapidity of doing wcfk and whether
they are gaining or losing. A spirit
of competition is thus aroused, and
the authorities at Mare Island be-
lieve that progress on ships now I'M

to no small degree by this simple ex
pedient

Four Crews Killed by aHunley'

also proving the coffin of its crew
was built In New Orleans in 1862. Is

Capt. James McClintock and Baxter

in her brief career to fully thifty-two
brave men. and withal one Of the
most remarkable craft that ever rode
the waters. Her power was that OF
eight men who turned the shaft OF an
ordinary propeller, In default of stor.
age batteries and gasolene motors.
There were ballasttanks to take in

It. She submerged by taking In water

NAVY'S LARGEST
GUN IS ABLE TO
SHOOT 10 MILES
Dreadnought Pennsylvania Is
Ready For Service; Burns
Oil; Has 14-Inch Guns

Recent dispatches from Norfolk
Va, to thN NV York World state
that while thef United States was max
ing active Preparations to get the
navy ready for possible service II
Mexico there was unusual activity on
board the battleship Pennsylvania, the
latest, and, what naval men say, Is
the most powerful ship in the Ameri.
can navy.
This big ship, but recently commits
stoned, has never seen any service,
Her big guns have never been fired
and her hull has only once yentured
outside the Virginia Capes, and that
when she was on her speed trial rune.
But she is ready for service, and
navy men say she could do more
damage than any otner two ships in
the navy with her big 14-inch guns.
Her crew, too, is made up almost en-
tirely Of men from other ships in the
navy.
Burns Oil Exclusively
The Pennsylvania burns oil excItl-
sively, and in single day she took
en- board 10000 gallons, Just one
third of the quantity she will need
when she goes on a cruise. She can
fill her tanks in three hours, and only
two men are required in the task.
Her Long-Range Guns
The Pennsylvania, with her biz
guns, would be able to lombard Vera
Cruz, If it became necessary, from
Is miles at sea- She could remain
that far out and drop shells from her
14-inch guns right in the heart Of
Vera Cruz as easily as she could at
1000-yard range
The battleship Nevada, of the same
type as the Pennsylvania, has been
trying out her big guns off Tangiers
Sound in Chesapeake Bay. exploding
big shells against the sunken hulk OF
the old battleship San Marcos, for.
merly the Texas. and the ram Katah-
din, both of which were sunk by shell
fire from ships of the Atlantic fleet

CALLS FOR RELIEF
FROM CAR SHORTAGE

Washington Oct. 2S.-While ship
ments of ali classes of freight are pill
ing up in most of the important pro-
ducing centors of the country, and
shippers calling frantically for relief,
the interstate commerce commission
today began an inquiry into the sit
uation. The task is complicated by
the fact that the railroads blame the
shippers themselves for a large part
of the difficulty.
Railroads in all parts of the country
were called on today by the commits
sion for complete details of conditions
on their lines. Southern shippers and
carriers will be heard next Friday and
Saturday in Louisville, KY, by rep
resentatives of the commission. The
shippers have declared the roads Gull
pable into conducting a large move
ment of freight to the seaboard for
export when water transportation is
limited and then permitting the cars
to be used for storage purposes, while
awaiting vessels.
Passing the blame back to the SHIP
pers, the railroads say their impa-
thence to "catch the market before
present high prices break" has result
ed In an unusually large movement,
especially of grain. at an unreasonable

earlier than ever before and the rail-
roads have been caught unprepared.

CELLAR ALMOST YEAR

Garfield. Ohio. Oct. 2S.-Emanciated
and almost blind, Marie Higgins, in
mate of the Mahoning county infirmary,
is tonight on the verge of collapse after
having told Superintendent Charles Lee
how she was kept a prisoner in a sub
cellar by Joe Seark, another inmate,
since last December.
Found last night wandering through
the corridors of the infirmary mum
bling to herself. 1t was nearly "a
hours before the girl could tell the
story, which has led to the impris-
onment of Seark in the county Jail at
Youngstown.
1t was just before Christmas, the
girl said. that she went into the base
ment of the infirmary to have her
shoes repaired so that she could look
pretty" for the Christmas celebration.
She was pushed from behind and
plunged down into the darkness of the
sub-cellar. Then Seark came into the
darkened basement and when she
begged him to release her, he an.
swered

girl said.
How many years have been
there?"
