FACTS ABOUT OUR NAVY
As TOLD BY LIEUTENANT
Tells Of the Effect of Constant
Firing on the Large CaIiber
GunS-0ther Details.

A fourteen inch gun is built up from
eight or ten hoops or steel tubes. Each
is turned to an exact fit less several
thousandths of an inch, then heated
red until expansion permits it to be
drawn on. 1t cools and adds strength
grip of its shrinking, writes Lieutenant
Fitzhugh Green of the United States
battleship Texas for the Vigilantes.
The first or inner tube has hclical
grooves to give rotation to the shell,
just as in any sporting rifle. Tremen-
dous firing prcssurcs between fifteen
and twenty tons per square inch, COM
bined with acid gases and other prod
ucts of explosion, cause erosion or
wearing away and pitting of the
grooves. Inner tubes must be renewed
periodically. The life of the gun, so
called, is about 100 shots. Since fire.
quent target practices are held few
years elapse before guns must be taken
ashore and retubed. The total cost OF
retubing a fourteen inch gun is in the
neighbOrhOOd Of $25,OOO
Besides the inner erosion, constant
shocks of explosion crystalline the
whole steel structure. Capitalization
Of metal may be likened to the drying
of cheese. At first the mass is relative
ly tough and elastic. After the heavy
punishment of protracted firing. gun
tubes weaken and become brittle. Micro
scopic examination reveals contraction
and disintegration Of metal particles,
Just as cracks and crumbly sections &C.
cur In a cheese. Further use Of the
gun is dangerous. Sometimes the crys-
tallized state Is reached sooner than
was expected. The guns crack or burst.

HIEFINGREOIENTS OF TONIC

Our grandfathers and great-grand-
fathers knew the medicinal values Of
-oots, banks, flowers and berries. Their
medicinal qualities are the same now
as they were hundred years ago. but
the scientific process of treating them
has been improved.
In former times the herbs were brew
ed into teas. Today modern labora-
tories make vastly superior product.
Tanlac Is a preparation OF roots, banks
and berries subjected to a process that
extracts their medicinal virtues in con-
centrated form. 1t il especially design
ed to build up run down people. It
has helped thousands who were suffer
ing from disOrdered stomachs, liver
and kidneys.
George X. Kelly, a mail carrier Of
New Hope, Ky, Is one Of the thou
sands In the Blue Grass state who have
endorsed Tanlac. Here is what he
has to say about this wonderful tonic:
~ had trouble with my stomach and
bowels. After eating | had cramps.
lost my appetite and got so | hated to
eat anything. felt bad all over. My
tongue was coated and l had bad
taste in my mouth.
Nothing helped me before l started
taking Tanlac. ] took three bottles
and by that time could eat anything
without having cramps. l am feeling
fine now. Tanlac helped me from the
start and l have recommended 1t to
many of my friends"

commissioned 10 make the draft, which
was approved by former State Coun-
ell. states that the charter contains the
following provisions:
Poland to be an independent consti-
tutional state.
In view OF the fact that an over
whelming percentage of tho population
is of the Roman Cathoiic faith, 1t is or
dered that the ruling house be of tho
same faith.
Catholicism Is prescribed as being
the official religion to be recognized in
connection with state functions and Of
fetal ceremonies. Beyond that fun
freedom OF religious belief IS vouch-
safed
The state is to be hereditary mon
archy, the Diet to elect tho ruler and
control the dynasty's affairs and sue
censorship.

sent of the Diet, he forfcits his crown.

possibility of a feminine member OF an
unfriendly power attaining the throne.
The King is obliged to reside con-
stantly at home and is not permitted to
be represented through n substitute
authority or the sovereign OF another

This disposes of the rumor that En-
peror Karl would be proclaimed King
