TESTS SHOW CRACK SHOTS
IN UNITED STATES NAVY
Gunners of Atlantic Fleet Never
Before Showed Such Prof.
cheney In Target Practice.

Washington.-Data made public re-
Gently by the navy department show
that at no other time In its history
has the craftsmanship Of the United
States navy been so good as 1t is at
present. The new superdreadnaught
Nevada gave an example of the gen.
eral shooting efficiency Of the Atlantic
fleet. In the recent target practice
this ship fired fifty-six shots from her
fourteen inch guns, and the target at
varying ranges was smashed forty
three times, q record that is believed
to equal, il not surpass, any record
with similar guns in any other navy.
On the Nevada three gun pointers in
nine shots with fourteen inch guns
made record Of nine hits, on the New
York nine gun pointers made six hits
in six shots, on the Oklahoma three
gun pointers made seven hits in nine
shots, on the Pennsylvania eight hits
in nine shots and on the Texas six hits
in six shots, and all with fourteen inch
guns at long ranges. Out Of sixty-six
shots fired from the twelve inch
guns of the dreadnaughts sixty-four
we're hits, while with eight inch guns
the record Of the champion gunners
was twenty-five hits in twenty-four
shots.
With seven inch guns the best record
was fifteen hits in sixteen shots, while
the champion gun pointers Of the four
inch guns hit the target thirty-nine
times in forty shots.

cent, Rockefeller Foun-
dation Head.

Chicago.-Dr. George Edgar Vincent,
president Of the University of Minneso-
ia and president elect of the Rockefel-
Ter foundation. spoke on Crowd Psy-
chology" to 500 members of the Chi
cago Dental society at their fifty third
annual banquet. Some of his epigrams
were:
"The truth is, we are so much alike
that we bore each other almost to dis
traction"
Some people have tubular minds,
like bean shooters. You load them at
one end and shoot the contents out of
the other"
idiots and children are the only
ones you cannot hypnotize."
"A society for the suppression of the
obvious remark would soon fill a city
block"
DR.. Vincent is one of the most rapid
of after dinner orators. His humor
found ready response from the men,
bers of the society and their wives and
daughters. He said that his standards
Of ideals were distractions from hu-
man personality.
"The hard headed person." he end
ed, lis one into whose brain you cannot
drill an idea when he is not looking"

How to Do Things

To shrink yarn wrap it in white cloth
and lay it in steamer over boiling
water for an hour. When dry it may
be used without fear Of shrinking.
10 remove automobile grease or any
dark, heavy grease from washable
goods apply small piece of butter and
rub it in well, then wash with soap and
rinse.
1t the hands are covered well with
soap and it is allowed to dry before
polishing the stove the polish will not
adhere to the hands and win wash of
without any trouble.
Some folks really clutter up their
rooms with furniture. That may be a
wasteful thing to do. Just enough for
use-no more-is the best rule. Then
keep what you have in good condition.
When darning run the thread around
the hole first, drawing up the edges un-
til they lie fat on the darner The
hole will be much smaller, and the
darning can be done more satisfac-
torily.
The difference between stylish, good
looking suit and shabby one is large
ly a matter OF pressing. Keep the
creases and wrinkles ironed out and
the seams fiat and people may think
you have a new suit
To do away with the smell of fresh
paint put pail of water into which
nm onion has been cut MP in the newly
painted room overnight. If windows
and doors are closed the odor will be
absorbed by morning.

How to Sew on Buttons

If the housewife sews on buttons
like tailors do they will stay on and the
work will not be harder either. Tai
lors double the thread used to sew on
buttons, make knot. hold the knot in
their teeth while they twist the thread,
then they wax it. and that keeps it
twisted. Next they put pin across the
button, and after the button is sew
ed on they remove the pin and wind
the thread around under the button
several times, making kind of stem.
This makes it more easy to button the
garment. The buttons on children's g
waists should be sewed on in this same
way, so that more than one garment
can be buttoned to the same waist.

EXPLORING BY AERoPLANEs.
War Department Fleet May Reveal Un-
known Areas of Hawaii.

Honolulu.-The aeroplane fleet short
ly to be established by the war depart
ment near Honolulu may well be the
means by which important discoveries
may be made upon the island Of Ha-
wall, large area Of the southeastern
portion being as yet wholly unexplored.
Lying as it does within the radius of
major volcanic zone, but covered
with trackless forest, it is extremely
probable that several hitherto un-
known craters whose existence has
long been suspected may be located.
No less than fourteen extinct volca-
noes have been discovered in this re-
gion within recent years, and all these
are accessible over well made trails,
adding greatly to the interest of the
district.

There is nothing more sacred with

SCHEDULE OF All,
NEAR COMPLETION

With the departure of the steam
ship Mexican on September 26 and
the arrival of the steamer Scraps on
October on her last voyage, the last
two American-Hawaiian ships will
close their schedule between the isl
ands and the coast for the year. The
Texan has already completed her last
trip and is now in San Francisco.
The American-Hawaiian boats
leave this run each year with the close
of. the sugar grinding season. They
will probably begin carrying Hawaiian
sugar again some time after the be-
ginning of next year. In the mean
time they will be employed in the
coast trade, but just where, has not
been learned by the local agency as
yet
The Mexican will stop at Port Allen,
Kaanpali and Hilo before she goes
TO the coast.

fiILO, Sept 16.-FrOm a distance Of
some miles from HilO, away down
the Puma coast. the seagulls that
Judge Wise brought TO this city a
week or two ago, have been seen
diving into and fitting over the sea
OF the II birds that the Judge re-
leased in Hi!o Bay 1t is thought II
or so are still alive and getting used
TO their new home. Three of the
beautiful creatures may have died be
cause they we're not strong when re-
leased.
The birds are expected to gradually
accustom themselves to the Hawaiian
waters around this Island but. at first,
they will be rather up against it for
food. Comparatively few steamers
enter and leave Hilo harbor and, con.
sequently, there Is but little swill and
other wastes thrown overheard from
shipping. The birds ere used 20 fol
lowing in the wake OF steamers and
cleaning food from what IL dumped

David Forbes suggested OH Tuesday
last that in some way the bids might
be helped out In foods. Any old
crackers that are not fit for human
consumption might he thrown on the
water SO that the birds might eat
the stuff Other foodstUffs in the line
of scraps and refuse might possibly
be treated the same way. said Mr..
Forbes, and county prisoners might
be utilized in dumping the stuff in
the harbor or around the rocks beyond
