As the train goes two bridge
lengths, less one foot, while the COW
goes half a bridge length, less five
feet, and would 60 three bridge
lengths, less three inches, while the
cow went half bridge length, plus
four feet, nine inches, We see that
the tyain would go five bridge
lengths, less fifteen inches, while the
COW wen, one bridge length, less
three inches. So the train goes Just
five times as fast as the COW. and
Two bridge lengths less one foot is
equal to two and half bridge
lengths. less twenty five feet. Hence
half bridge length is twenty four
feet and the whole length is forty

ONE U-BOAT DIDN'T
 WAIT FOR A BATTLE
(Chicago Daily Newsl

A Seaport Somewhere in France Here in port, straight from duty in the submarine zone, is a bit of Chicago that is doing it's part in protecting from the kaiser's undersea weapon all kinds of vessels.
 It is a vessel whose owner and lieu tenant commanders Chicagoan wide ly known as a sportsman who has eX- plored Arctic ice and waters-saw, as few other Americans did, that event. ually the United States would take part in this war. He decided that he would be ready to do his part by converting his American yacht into 2. vessel for war duty under the Stars and Stripes
 Even before the United States de- clared war this man from Chicago put his speedy pleasure craft into commits sion for war service. The result was that he beat every other yacht owner into the American navy by six weeks.
 This Chicago patrol-to designate it in a way that is unobjectionable to the censor-can run circles about any U- boat built, but as yet it hasn't accom- plished such a performance. That isn't it's fault; it's the fault of the U-boats. Not one of them dares keep its deck of periscope out of the water when the Chicago patrol appears over the sky line. When I went aboard it the other day it had just finished g. stretch of duty that has much to do with "sub- marine" Jacks stuck in map in its chart room.
 There are certain things the tacks told which I cannot tell There are other things the tacks did not tell which can write down.

 IS. o. S."
 They came from one of the biggest freighters under the British flag. Its size, value and cargo gave added zest to the attempt of the Chicago patrols crew to save it.
 The Britisher wirelessed it's latitude and longitude, it's course and it's speed. It so happened that it was making it's fourteen knots an hour in the direction from which the Chicago patrol was bringing the help of it's speed and guns.

of an ychange," was the message that went from the Chicago patrols wireless room. It also gave it's distance and magnetic bearing.
 With stokers and engineers getting every bit of speed possible out of America's fastest yacht it was cutting through the water at rate that was quickly lessening the gap between the two vessels.
 Submarine shelling us" wirelessed the freighter No hits yet"
 The Chicago patrol rushed on. Every member of it's crew was praying, pray ing that the U-boat would not sub merge before the patrol had it's say. Let that kaiser's pet stick around for us,' said the gunner with a wad of chewing gum in hA. mouth, and betcha Init it right in the beer bottles"
 Half an hour after it's first call for help there came a surprising message in the freighter's name. It announced a new position, sixty miles north of the one originally given. The Chicago pa troI and three coast radio stations asked for verification. The new posi- tion was repeated.
 Give course and speed" wirelessed th2 patrol.
 Cant" came back the answer.
 The commander of the patrol decided to keep on the course determined by the first position. A few minutes later his decision was justified. His operator picked up this message from a radio station, at a point on the coast over looking the second position: Have a clear view of new position; absolutely no vessel conforming to freighter's de- scription in sight
 After lull in the wireless conversa- tions there suddenly came the message,
