man hopes Of obtaining q rapid peace.
d Germaa peace naturally, have been
intrusted to the submarines
The most contradictory reports are
published on the subject of the sub
marines. rs
"A neutral correspondent Of the Lon
don Times wrote that he learned in
Cologne that there were 800 German
summaries in service, and 1000 IN the
course Of construct ctfon.
On the other hand the Neue Freie
Presse of Vienna, generally well in
formed. III a recent article asks what
will become Of the entente when at
hacked by about 100 submarines,
Build Six Week.
How many submarines is Germany
building?
Two per week Is considered the
maximum figure by numerous English
newspapers. s
According to certain information, I
think it can be affirmed that the cor.
rect figure is three times greater.
The majority of other maritime
constructions are abandoned even
the Zeppelin factories are being neg
lected in favor 81 the workshops en-
gagged in the manufacture of these
sea sharks.

Single Motor Now .ysen s s
The latest model submarine now in
service has q single motor. which is
used both for surface sailing and
DIVING.
This motor Is silent and thus the
submarine is. no longer betrayed by
Ethe noise OF explosions. u
The heavy and nbersome aecu-
fnHIators with their dynamo are re-
placed BY a lighter and smaller bat
terry of oxygen pipes. :il
According to my informant. the
new submarines could make a trip
around the world, II necessary, with
out renewing its supplies. Z
It's speed under water is now SUI
perior to that Of most Of the mer-
chant vessels and is no longer infer
ior to that Of rapid mail packets.
It is said to be able to navigate at
a depth Of forty to fifty yards. which
permits it to pass under most OF the
dams and escape the vigilance Of avi-
ators.
There is no doubt that Germany is
anxious to finish the war
Certain military chiefs who, as late
as six months ago, spoke of a five
year war, today say that it should end
this summer.

Find Out
What
You Are

7 f yOU have taken time to find out
L what you are physically, mentally
and morally before you start out to
work you will save yourself many
disappointments, failures and phys
ical breakdowns.
Should you have neglected this i'm
portant part Of your business prepa-
ration do not waste another day be-
fore taking stock Of yourself. Pro-
fessor James. one of our greatest au-
thorities. talking on the human brain,
says that ION the average only 10 per
cent OF the power Of a human brain il
used during lifetime"
1t Is impossible for every one to get
100 per cent returns on their efforts
and mentality. and even 90 per cent,
but certainly you can make your brain
net 20 or so per cent. 1t will not do
this unless you get to work There
are many employers that keep score
cards and efficiency experts, and they
keep record OF the physical. mental
and moral qualities of their employees.
This same method is used in scientific
housekeeping. q
IF when you commence to work your
employer and the house In general
take little cogniZance OF your special
qualities you should strive to deyelop
your capabilities.
To the working woman I would
suggest a course of observation. As
YOU come to work In the morning OBJ
serve the objects you pass by quickly
and then try to recall them. You will
be surprised to find that you only half
see and hear many things.
Look and learn, but look first. yo,,
may be typist, but by developing
your powers Of observation Won will
make yourself n secretary and per-
haps even manager Of n large con
cern. You may never know the mo-
ment when Your superior KNOWLEDGE
will be needed. You never know what
You can do until you try This Is be-
cause so few Of us really try TO do
anything apart from our own par
ticular calling.
For everyday Use general knowl-
edge Is the most useful. General
knowledge is only gained by ohserva
ton, by listening to wise takers and
retaining what you hear and remem-
bering what you see.
Persist In the practice OF keeping n
storehouse in your brain. Tn this
storehousc gather all the odd bits Of
information which come your way
You never know when such will pro-
cure some advantage to you. you
will get n wonderful amount of in
formation from the reading OF the pa
pers. knowledge at a glance. which
would take you months and even
years to dig out for yourself, whiIo
the editorials will help you to form
and to correct your judgments.
Just try this plan of developing
your capacities for a week 1t will
he of such interest you will never
stop.
