WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-That the
American navy has made great
strides in battle efficiency in the last
few years was demonstrated to the
house naval committee by Captain
Charles p. Plunkett, director OF gun
merry exercises, but he admitted ehat
much remains to be done.
The Atlantic feet showed 20 pei

onlv method of determining individ-
va! efficiency.
Target practice is 90 per cent
crew and | per cent material, SAID
Captain Plunkett, adding that the
greatest drawback is that IS per cent
ef a ships officers and men are shit
ed each year in consequence of-the
expiring OF enlistmen:s or the neceS'
sitv of filling vacancies elsewhere
Lack OF a surplus of personnel te
draw on to fill vacancies or to com

ton, which makes it necessary to be

1t was brought out that the nav.
is preparing to work the guns OF it
new ships up to 10000 yards (seven
teen miles), although 5000 (nin
miles) was considered the maximum
battle range until the present Euro

From this date many deaths of dis
tinguished men and women will be
noted. The worlds of politics, liter
allure, finance and invention will lose
famous personalities.
Although it is early IN the year, it
is well to know that famous astrol-

Contending planetary influences
mark this day, according to astrology.
Early in the morning the sun is in
benefic aspect and later Uranus and
Mercury are friendly. Venus and
Neptune are adverse.
There is a lucky sign for visiting
friends or meeting strangers who may
be helpful.
Ministers should benefit by the
configuration, which is believed to
impart eloquence and to give to mas
ses of people receptive attitude of
mind.
Benevolent undertakings of all
sorts should succeed while this con-
figuration prevails. A crimes and
injustice toward women and children
are likely to arouse public action this
rule may be considered as encouraging
TO initiative.
Love affairs are under a sinister
direction today. Engagements are
likely to be unlucky, as the stars are
said to encourage misapprehensions
concerning character.
Neptune has a place which is
threatening. There is a prophecy
that this planet and Uranus viii have
much sinister power in the next few
weeks.

VEAL THY BREWTON
MEN WELL-K KNOWN
WRITE UP OF LUMBER BARONS
OF ALABAMA WHO DO A
GREAT DEAL OF EXPORT BUS
MESS AT PENSACOLA.

Brewton's 'rbig" men were written up
in the Prattville, Ala, Progress in a
recent issue. This is what it says
about some wealthy men of that
town, well-known in Pensacola, where
they transact lot of lumber bust
ness:
Senator Lovelace and his brother,
Yancy Lovelace, are lumber kings and
are among the wealthiest citizens of
South Alabama.
Brewton is a town of about 2,20O
population within the corporate linn
its. Within radius of one mile from
its center there are about 1000 peo-
pie. It has three banks, three hotels,
four barber shops and at least 20
stores, several of which would do
credit to any city. The two large
sawmills, X. R. Miller Lumber Com
pany and the Lovelace Lumber Com
pany, are the chief industries of the
town. The Miller Lumber Company
owns about 100000 acres of land and
the Lovelace Lumber Company owns
about $4,000 acres. It is estimated
that it will take at least 20 years
longer 10 cut the timber from this
land. These two mills employ about
1000 people. Brewton began as a
sawmill town as early as the Civil
war. The Downings, MiIlers, Foshees,
McGowans, Lovelaces and Sowells be-
gan life as poor men and today their
wealth runs into the millions All
the wealth at Brewton is home cap
ital and was made from the timber
business. As the timber is cut from
the land much of it is being culti-
waited, and in a few years that prom
Uses to be the most populous and
prosperous section of the state.
Brewton has a higher promise than
Dothan. 1t now has three hotels,
one of which cost $4,000. 1t is said
to be the third wealthiest town per
capita in the United States.

Child Labor Laws
Are Now Available.

There has just been made available
to any one who is interested enough
to ask for it compilation of the
exact terms of all the laws enacted
up to January /, 1916, relating to any
form of child labor in the United
States, Alaska, Hawaii, the Philip
pines, and Porto Rico. This new pub
location has been issued by the chill
dren's bureau Of the United States
department of labor under the title
@Child labor legislation in the United
States"
Even the more important develop
ments in the relation of worEmen's
compensation laws to the employment
of children are summarized with the
following comment: "a decided ten
dency is to be noted in workmen's
compensation legislation to penalize
the employer of an Illegally employed
child. =. An employer, whenever he
employs child illegally, runs risk
far greater than that of a fine under
the child labor law"
Decisions of federal courts and of
the higher state courts are included
in connection with the laws to which
they refer. "The constitutionality of
child labor laws appears to have been
finally and definitely established by
the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court upholding the
Illinois law prohibiting employment
under 16 years of age in trade and
occupations classified by the legisla-
ture as dangerous and injurious.
The book contains series of analy-
teal tables which now only set forth
concisely the terms of the law and
provisions for enforcement in each
state but show at a glance the varia-
tions of the laws in the different
states. These tables show, for in
stance, that there are only nine po-
litical divisions which have no pro-
vision of any kind for a 14-year or
higher age limit in factories, but that
on the other hand there are at least
1S political divisions which allow the
age limit to be lowered legally in spe-
cial cases or for special occupations.
For work in mines the age limit is 16
years in seventeen states and Alaska.
And the hours of work for children
under 16 in factories are subject to
some regulation in every state except
New Mexico and West Virginia: nine
teen states, the District of Columbia
and Porto Rico have limited their
working day to eight hours or less,
and thirty-seven states have prohib-
tied their employment at night.

President Makes a
Wise Selection.

Yesterday the papers carried the
announcement that President Wilson
had selected Louis d. Brandeis, of
Boston, to be associate justice Of the
supreme court to succeed the last JUS
tice Lamar. The same dispatch which
announced the selection carried the
statement that there would probably
be the biggest kind of a fight"
against this confirmation.
Although this appointment came in
the nature of surprise, Mr.. Bran
deis' name not having been mentioned,
considering his past record, it is not
surprising that Mr.. Wilson should
have selected him. Neither is it sur
prising, for the same reason, that he
should be vigorously opposed by GER
tain factions.
However, those who recall his ac-
tivity in the Ballinger-P inchot inves-
tigation in congress, six years ago,
in which he represented the forces
opposed to Secretary Ballinger and
sought his removal, and those who
remember his fight against the gen
eral increase in freight rates before
the interstate commerce commission
a few years ago, are inclined to be-
lieve that the representatives of the
big interests would not be very en-
thusiastic over his appointment even
though he belonged to the democratic
party. The trusts and their repre-
sentatives could hardly be expected to
endorse the appointment to this i'm
portant position of the man who led
the forces that demanded an investi-
CATION of the affairs of the New Ha-
ven road.
On the other hand, the progressive
element and those who believe in rec
ognizing ability and integrity will al
most unanimously endorse the selec-
ton Of the president. Mr.. Brandeis
is lawyer of recognized ability. In
fact, it will be recalled that he was
prominently mentioned for attorney
general under the Wilson administra-
ton.
President Wilson, in making this ap-
pointment, has clearly shown that he
considers merit of more Importance
than party affiliation. This appoint
ment also tends to further remove the
supreme court from politics-at least
so far as the democratic party is
concerned. There are already six re-
publicans and only two democvats on
the supreme court bench.
1t is to be hoped that the presi-
dents recommendation viii be con-
firmed by the senate without any un-
necessary wrangling and squabbling.
