use them. If we will not use them,
there is no way to take care of it,"
Admiral Winslow told the naval
committee that gunnery on American
ships started on the down grade soon
after it had been brought to its most
efficient point during President
Roosevelts incumbency.
Just lately" he added. the de-
partment began working out new
system of finding the faults with our
gunnery. They are finding In my
opinion, however. if we had had a
general staff our efficiency would
never have gone down"
The admiral maintained that the
original plan under which the general
board was created was intended to
lead to general staff. That. he
said was the vital need of the navy;
all military functions should be under
the direct control of professionally
trained naval officers. lie declared
no secretary of the navy had ever
had or possibly coNld have had the
knowledge necessary to pass upon the
questions which he must decide under
the present system. 1t would take
fifty years, he believed, to bring the
fleet to its possible standard of ef-
ficiency and in answer to a ques-
tion he said he did not believe the
navy now to he even moderately eff
cient.
Keep Fleet at High Pitch.
What was lacking. said the ad-
miral, was authority vested in a
board OF trained naval officers to CO.
ordinate all the military work and
keep the fleet at fighting pitch at all
times. He believed no ships should
be placed in reserve but that all
should be kept constantly in com
mission and fully manned in order
that sufficient men might be trained.
Asked what authority he would
take from the secretary and lodge
in the staff, he said he would have
the entire military side of the serv-
ice absolutely under the staff.
IF it is a question of mounting "A
14-inch or a l6-inch gun" said the
witness. naval officers should decide
that. They are the men who will use
those guns"
The navy war college. Admiral
Winslow said, was a very valuable
adjunct and other nations had fol-
lowed the American lead in establish
ing such institutions. yet it had been
nearly done away with under several
secretaries.
The war college" he added, "is
receiving better backing from Mr..
Daniels than it has ever had"
Enactment of laws to permit pro-
milton by selection as recommended
by the navy department, also was
urged by the admiral.

down to her new master. AS by no
volition of your own, your mind slips
back to the cells and to a buxom,
kind-faced nanny, created and en-
dowed to nurse the offspring of white
mothers. She will bring but a modest
price in the mart, for there are many
of her kind. Here is young quad
room, there a gray old Creole darby,
somewhere else a very black and
strapping half grown negress. You
sense their speaking voices, deep and
melodious, a jargon of French and
Spanish inlaid with many little Eng
lish words. Suddenly, in the cells
occupied by the men, the coarser
blacks break out in a burst of wild,
weird song, cut through by the tam

A tail and sinewy negro rises and
steps out quickly to the center Of the

Rocks campanlIe With Hand.

Elmer e. Hall, associate professor
of physics of the University of Califor-
mia, stood at the foot of the 800 foot
Campanile on the campus and with
one hand shook the giant structure,
says a Berkeley dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle. Hall has seis-
mograph records, photographs and a
lot of data to prove that he moved the
huge granite needle and is prepared to
lecture to his students as to how the
trick Is done
He says: II placed a delicate seis-
mograph like those used to record
earthquakes on the top of the tower.
Then | went down to the ground and
about once in a second I pushed my
hand against the granite shaft. By
applying this pressure in time with
the natural period of the vibration of
the Campanile l set the whole mass
In motion, so that it's vibrations were
clearly recorded by the seismograph."
The Campanile is regarded as a
masterpiece of earthquake resistive
construction. Instead of being a rigid
structure, it is built with cross brac-
ing eliminated at alternate stories.
The result is that it's vibration Is like
that of a steel rod stuck in the ground
by one end. In an earthquake, it Is
claimed, the Campanile will vibrate
like tree instead of breaking.

Bows CAUGHT In Bread Box.

The game of hide and seek"
claimed two victims recently in Carl
Helberg, ten years old, and John Pen
dish, eight years old, both of whom
are in a critical condition at the Over
brook hospital here. The two young
sters, with four or five playmates,
started game of hide and SEEK on
the way home from school. Helberg
and Pendish jumped into an old bread
box in front of grocery store on
Bank street. When the cover dropped
the clasp fell over a staple. Their eff
forts to raise the lid proved futile.
During the early part of the eve,
ming, four hours later, John Romaine,
fourteen years old, passed the box on
his way to the store A faint cry
caused him to investigate. Pendish
and Helberg were unconscious from
suffocation and exposure to the cold

window ledge is box of kitchen
bouquet; basil, cheval. coriander, and
on the odd little balcony jutting out
from it a sweet box garden of Pc
tunias, cypress vines and myrtle.
Above it freighted clothesline flaps
in the wind and rain.
Here you say "B soir," and insist
that you can find your way without
further guidance. You retrace your
steps, hating now and then to be GER
tain of your direction, and come at
last to view the ruin of a fine old
tapestry. On you go to the great
ground floor and linger a moment for
one last look at the slave mart. Then
your feet find the quiet street and
cool, mist-driven wind smites your
face refreshingly. You swing back
easily to the present and everyday
realities, but the old Hotel st. Louis
is craven upon your heart. 1t will

represented a painting of De Soto's
first view of the Mississippi.
Led by the Chatelaine.
You glance at two holes high up in
the outer wall which show the light
like pair of prying eyes under shay
gy brows, then you take bracing
breath and go on. But you halt alb
ruptly at the sound of an opening
door and the echo of slow and drag
ging feet coming nearer and nearer.
In moment woman short and heavy
of build, with the mingled air of gra-
ciousness and reserve, is before you.
She is the chatelaine. You know it
before she says "Entrez!" in her
charming throaty French. She has on
skirt of faded crimson and blue,
with basquelike bodice of luminous
green. She wears a cap of soiled
D'Alencon lace, and fine odd brooch
of jet as sparkling black as her deep
set eyes. Instinctively you drop
silver piece into the bag which bangles
with a bunch of keys from her ample
waist, and follow her shutting lead.
To the accompaniment of her ex-
planatory and also rapid French, you
are shown salons with cracked and
sunken marble fireplaces, salons with
vanished onyx floors, once pressed by
the satin-clad feet of many beautiful
women, widowed mirrors made in the
days of the first empire, crystal
chandeliers with broken pear-shaped
prisms, and walls from which price
less frescoes and friezes and medal
lions have been removed, bits of
bronze from an old balustrade, the bat
tered fragments of fountain.
One Room Still Home.
When you have looked into count
less chambers and heard the history
of each, you come upon half-open
door which reveals scene of homely
comfort. Here lives the chatelaine,

There's one old mended antique chair

u /OU are a lover of the quaint,
" the picturesque, the old, or you
would not find yourself in the
old slave mart of LIE Vieux
Carre de New Orleans ON glowering
day, when the storm clouds over
hanging the East are sending out
streaks of lightning.
Presently you pass through an or
nate entrance to the ground floor of
huge old wrinkled building, peeling off
for its final plunge into oblivion. 1t
Is the historic Hotel st. Louis, erected
In 1886. Don Pedro, emperor of Brazil,
and afterward his grandson, were its
guests. Here banqueted statesmen,
princes and famous men, and here, be-
fore the changing Of the tides, were
sittings of legislative bodies, says the
Kansas City Star.
AS you stand in the listening ST.
ience, in the dampness of mold and
decay, you unconsciously visualize the
life of long-gone yesterday. Now
suddenly you start, disturbed by an
impression of sound down a long,
dark, dusty passageway. 1t is only
the rain seeping in, drip, drip, every
spatter echoing holloway in the empti-
ness. Again you drift back to your
dreams, and again your nerves twang,
this time at the scuttle of rat in the
broken wainscoting behind an old
slave block, showing the crumbling,
though quite distinguishable, name Of
a famous auctioneer of ante-bellum
days. Beyond the block and the mart
about it your searching eyes find q
wide expanse of earth and cement
floor bordered by rows of cells almost
wholly stripped Of bars, where slaves
were held before their appearance
upon the block to be sold to the high
est bidder.
With swift intake of breath you
reach the rusty gratings and peer into
the dusky interior. You catch a Whit
of chill, earthly air and the plaintive
chirp of cricket. 1t requires but q
slight turn of your imagination to
people the prison with soft-eyed pa
tient slaves awaiting orders with the
stolidity and obedience that was part
Of their nature. You see the old and

vice, which might merit the attention
of the British war office, has been in
vented in Italy for warming the SOL
diers' rations. This scaldarancio, or

composed of old newspapers. These
are rolled together as tightly as pos
sible, and the edges gummed, so that
they form a compact stick of paper.
This is then stepped in paraffln and
cut up into segments, one of which is
sufficient to heat a soldiers rations.
