Mrs. Stevens has discovered. A pro-

FACTS ABOUT OUR NAVY
Three Gun Tmrets.


y NTX years ago John Ericsson
designed the original turret on
- the famous Monitor. He planned
to have her carry seven guns sticking
out radially at equal intervals. Simple
mechanism would revoIve the steel
fortress and bring each gun 10 bear
on the enemy IN turn when q was
discharged
4 wooden model was built and
armed on the deck OF a heavy coal
barge. Targets were anchored at 4
suitable distance TO represent hostile
craft = committee OF congressional
observers gave the signal and fire was
opened
During the first revolution OF the
wooden round house shot splashed
and creamed about the targets. Next
time round gunners began 10 be diz-
~. Targets. towboats, tugs, all looked
alike in q tumultuous world which
whirIed around the turret. One shot
whlzzed over the committee. Cease
Firing was hoisted- IL ceased But
the congressman were already on
their way to amend the constitution
against any more seven-Eun turrets-
One gun a turret was the rule there
after. Two sun turrets are more mod
ern than prohibition a few years
ago italy popped up with a three gun
turret which we short memoried
Americans hailed q grand idea and
accent and all.
Our fleet flagship Pennsylvania car

three-Eun tUrrets each Weighing 22G
tons. The New EOrlz's five two-Eun
turrets ar about $50 tons each total
nearly the same burden But the
latter's brOadside Is only 1900
pounds while the flagship can cut
loose with $500 pounds. The Wyom-

Frank Delaney, e. II. Hon, and
Mrs. d. B. Stevens, accompanied by
Mr>. Street aud Joe Moran, drove
ont across the ridge 10 enjoy an cv-
ening of fireworks.
Chris. had the bundle of celebra-
ton stuff in the rea of his Ford de-
livery wagon, and when the crowd
was all in readiness to enjoy the
spirit he touched off one big sky
rocket. and when the second one was
being enjoyed by the company the
whole load caught fire by an acci-
dental spark, and the livliest Fourth
of July celebration took place right
then and there that New Mexico has
seen for quite a spell. Ii seemed as
though all the FIREWORKS manufacture
ed this year were gong oil at one
time and what il did to that Ford ma
chine was a plenty. The top and
cushions were burned the windshield
demoralized, and the body considera-
bly, burned. but that doesn't stop the
machine from running as usual. In
fact. Christine says it runs better
than ever.
The only regretable thing, outside
the injury to the car, was the fact
that the evenings entertainment was
cut short an hour or so.
