STATES HAVE
THE EDUCATIONAL TEST.

Editor Hustler:
So much furore having been raised
about North, Carolina disfranchising
some white men, was impelled by Gu
riositv to see how many states have
practically the same educational re-
ouirements as ours. I found that fif-
teen have such requirements.
The thing that amazed me was that
such rock-ribbed (so-called )repubn-
can states as Maine, Massachusetts
and New Hampshire have substantially
the same requirements as the demo-
cratic state of North Carolina. MY
authority is the 1916 National Year
Book and Encyclopedia.

GOLF BUGS MORE NUMEROUS
Former Baseball Rooters Now Go Out
Each Afternoon and Chase
Marble Around Links.

The insidious golf germ has inserted
itself into the systems of many of our
well-known sportsmen who formerly
were numbered among the first-class
baseball roeters. In every city of the
circuit there are several hundred of
these formerly conscientious patrons
of the ball games who now get out
each afternoon and chase themselves
around the links. Instead of holding
down soft seat and waiting for some
body to swat the pill, they get out
themselves and earnestly strive to con.
meet with a marble set on an anthill.

"This is the simple scheme Of propulsion
adopted for these new cruisers. 1t is known to be
effective but 1t is not as simple in the appca-
ton as in the telling. To the troubles of the
steam engine are now added the dangers of the
electric current, and the engineer must have mas
tered electricity as well as steam. If the steam
from 2OO,OOO-horse-power boilers could rend the
ship. the current It would generate, misappied,
would work untold harm to ship and crew.
"One OF the disadvantages of a single engine
or single turbine Is that it must be in one large
compartment and If this is preached from the
outside the flow of water fills the entire space,
puts all the machinery within 1t out of commission
and places the ship in great danger. With the
electric drive every motor, generator and turbine
can be isolated, thus adding to the safety of the
vessel. The electric drive is not an experiment.
1t has been operated on the naval collier Jupiter
and on its trial trips the perfect success of this
way of gearing down the power was proved be-
yond a reasonable doubt. This system is also be-
ing installed in the latest battleships, the New
Mexico Tennessee and California.
"There several reasons why the cruisers
must be so much longer than the dreadnaughts-
approximately half as long again. The most i'm
portant Of these is to insure the fneness of line
forward and the long smooth run indispensable to
speed, with sufficient buoyancy to sustain the I'M
avoidably great weights of hull, equipment and
engines. Another reason is to provide space
enough for the Number of boilers which will sup
ply steam to the turbines. The Oklahoma re-
quires ii water tube boilers to furnish her steam;
and on that basis the new ships will require "a,
although 1t probably will not work out in just
that way. These boilers will contain many miles
of tubing.
"A special problem for the engineer after the
design of her hull has been fixed, is to determine
the size of each Of the propellers their position
and the pitch Of the blades. A factor in solving
this Is the number Of revolutions which the en-
gines will give and the number which will give
the best results Although we have built no ships
OF this size and design and have no relative data

it is also unfortunate that police force Of any

disadvantage if opposed to a nation possessing

'The battle off Jutland most certainly has not
established anything not already known against

to suppose that one could engage a batteshp at
any range on equal terms. The naval engineers
put all the expensive and powerful machinery in
