SHIPS TO DEFY TORPED0ES

Washington Future American bat.
tleships will be able to survive the ex.
plosion of single torpedo against

in progress for more than a year have
demonstrated that two or more torpe.
does must find their mark before these
ships can be sent to the bottom.

the question of torpedo defense since
the outbreak of the European war,
but later ships will have even in
creased provisions in this regard.
The experiments are continuing and
officials expect further information on
the subject to be developed. Details
OF the work are regarded as confiden-
tial, but it is known that some ex.
perts are hopeful that type of con-
struction will be evolved which will
greatly reduce the effectiveness of
either mines or torpedoes against
heavy ships.

1t is suggested that the only prac'''

by which signals may be flashed, just
as an army communicates with dis
tant divisions, or as the navy commu

rays of light and flashing them. 1t IS
by some such device that communl'
cation may be established with the
Martians, If they are provided with
telescopes at least as powerful.
1t has been calculated that the mir

MATERNAL INSTINCT is ALIVE
Not Necessarily Abandoned by Women
Who Have Chosen to Pursue
q "Career."

We often hear that women used to
be more maternal than they are now
The difference was that they had
larger families and were compelled to
do more work about the house, be.
cause modern household conveniences
were then wanting, asserts DR.. Mary
Kent Isham, a successful New York
physician. The fact OF large family
is not necessarily an indication that
there is much maternal feeling in the
mother The maternal instinct ia
found in women who want children
whether they have them or not-and
who occupy themselves preferable in
ways which deal with the young.
The majority of single women and
of women with careers do not lack the
maternal spirit and do not lack the
sex instinct, but they are wanting in
certain recklessness which would
enable them to accept the wrong hus.
band or 60 in for what has been called
"unbridled motherhood" They are
perhaps trained into too great self.
control and caution. Others are too
intense and passionately maternal to
marry. They must have whole crowds
Of children with whom to deal, like
the old woman in the shoe. The hus.
band is secondary consideration. A
large number of women who are en-.
gagged in social service and who, for
various reasons, have been deprived
Of homes of their own, or find the
duties in their homes too limited, are
spending their generous helping Of
maternal energy in a larger social

than point Of light by the time it
trayersed the millions of miles which
separate us from Mars. 1t has. there
fore. been suggested that ten mirrors,
each one 40 miles in diameter, be
grouped next to each other. The total
of these mirrors would be about $780,
900 square miles, and it would be an
enormous problem to secure the glass.
the quicksilver for coating the glass
and the enormous quantity of iron
which would be required for the
frames OF the mirrors. The difficult
ties are so great that many say they
are insurmountable and that we shall
have to wait until the electric waves
have been perfected, or we have ma
chimes which can cast ray of electric
light through space. Perhaps wireless
telegraphy indicates the way in which
we shall communicate with Mars. and
it may be by sound, not by sight. Sci
ence has advanced tremendously in
the use of sound waves, being now
able to talk 5000 miles or more with.
out wires. And in a year or two it
may be possible to talk around the
world by this method.
1t must not be forgotten, however.
that when Mars is nearest to the
earth it is 100000 miles away, and
that its extreme distance is 4S,OO0,-
900 miles.
1t will probably be years and years
before communication is established
with Mars, and even in that event.
success depends upon the Martians
having receivers that will catch earth
ly communications.
