STATE OF MIND IN NAVAL
ACTION

~ HE question of what a
VI man is most likely to
think about when under
fire or in action, has been much
discussed since the battle of
Horn Reef. Much evidence has
been collected and many theor-
les advanced. Obviously, the
answer will depend very much
upon the man, what sort of fire
he is under, and-especially-
what his duties are. Generali-
zing very broadly from the con-
verSations have had with, and
letters have read from, men
who went through this greatest
of naval battles, I should say
that, so far as the British sail
or is concerned, the concentra-
ton of mind in carrying out in
action the duties which he had
trained so assidAously for dur
ing many years of peace, pret-
ty effectuallly kept his
thoughts from wandering far
afield. The following extract
from the letter of an officer
whose ship gave and took some

A JOB OF MANY YEARS

ACCORDING to Marine En-
II gineering, a New York
publication, the present
great activity in shipbuilding
around San Francisco and all
along the Pacific coast is no
ephemeral boom, but is GER
tain to continue for years to
come, on account of the short
age of vessels already caused
by the great war, and which is
increasing rather than dimin-
ishing despite the feverish ac-
tivity of all shipyards to keep
up with their orders. 1t is es-
Itimated that at least ten years
will be required to restore the
equilibrium in shipping,
So long as the war lasts and
the shipyards of the belliger-
ents cannot take up the task,
the plants of the neutral coun-
tries, and particularly on the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts OF
the United States, must bear
the whole burden or cOnstruc-
ton.
Over 100000 tons of YES
sells are now under contract in
American shipyards. Contracts
for 100 or more vessels could
be had at a moments notice it
shipbuiIders could find steel
and the ways to launch the
ships on.
But this is only a drop in the
bucket to the shipping the
world needs and must have tC
carry on its business. Wher
the war broke out the gross
tonnage of the merchant ma
rine of the world was about
5O,000,O00 tons.
Great Britain alone has los
through destruction 2,734, 1Ot
tons, or more than 10 per cent
of her total of 21, ,045, ,049 tons
when the war began. France
has lost about one-sixth of hel
total mercantile tonnage, Of
309,023 tons. Germany has
lost over 100000 tons.
Others of the allies and neu
trials have lost enough during

NATIONAL GUARD EFF

HPROPO President Wilson's
VI talk yesterday to guard
critics, it is interesting to
observe that many newspapers
in various parts Of the coun-
try contend that while the ma
-Eional guard regiments of their
own states are highly efficient
they are the exception rather
than the rule as the national
guard as a whole is practically
worthless. AS a matter of truth
the standard of national guard
efficiency is about the same

 Tablet-Sugar Coated.

Through the winter the blood accu- mulates poisons because you do not perspire enough, because you do not live in the open air, and because you eat more meat, mush and other rich foods. Every spring we feel sluggish, constipated, liver and kidney ills beset Us, colds and chronic coughs, pimples, boils and carbuncles, all evidence of impure, thick, sluggish blood.
 Sulpherb Tablets (not sulphur tab 1ets) are composed of extracts of roots and herbs, combined with sul- phur and cream of tartar-and no bet ter physic, blood-tonic and blood cleanser has ever been developed.

 All winter long the marble figures gleamed white among somber cedars. The glistenng leaves of magnolias reflected stray wandering bits of sunlight, and the ivy vine, seeking seclusion, all but yielded itself to the shivering gusts of wintry wind that sought to separate it's ci1nglng fingers from the friendly walls. The fountains freezing spray dripped on gold fish darting in and out dark, slumbering shadows.
 A warm wind finds it's way from the south; bird sings, sweet hamburger ot spring-a numb world relaXes and seeks to smile And the transformation begins.
 Bright tulips-red, yellow and splashed with vivid colors-spring up from brown earth Shy violets, sure of welcome, nod purple heads. Rows and rows of stiff spears of leaves offer fragrant yellow jonquils, and narcissi and stately hya- cinths scent the air.
 The hedges take on fresh green; lilac bushes tremble with bursting buSs; the leaves of climbing roses timidly peep forth wondering if the birds sweet call was really to summon them forth.

HER SIDE
 AND HIS
THE WINDOWS OF ANOTHER
 WOPTD
By ZOE BECKLEY

From certain back room in the Tenn ples' new home one could see into the windows of business building recently put up on the next street, Cora's yard separating the two structures. In rent ing the Temples their house the agent had rather apologized for the commercial intrusions and assured Cora that she would scarcely be aware of the Brunei
 Bro..s artificial flower manufactory in the rear of her quiet home. He would even make slight concession in the rent on account of the neighboring loft build
 ing, but Mrs. Temple need not fear there would be anything objectionable there.
 Cora had not lived in her new house month before she grew to love those two
 back windows which looked into the busy shop.
 From in the morning till at night throng of deft-fngered Italian girls worked at long tables, cutting pinching, twisting and punching gay blossoms of velvet, cambric and silk. Often they sang-bits of opera, mostly. And during lunch hour, when they had finished their chunks of bread and cheese and sausage and their inevitable fruit sometimes they danced for exercise. with the windows flung wide. It was then Cora used to watch from behind her curtains with merry heart and eyes. She longed to shout across to them, to get acquainted with them, to
 join in their frolics and even in their
 work. They seemed actually to enjoy it. But now and then she saw different side. Weariness was there, and hunger and illness and trouble. Once she saw a girl sag from her work bench and topple to the floor with white face and starting eyes. Then there was a great commotion and quick orders by the superintendent and tears from the warm-hearted com rades of the girl
 | Cora telephoned later on. and was as ] pleased to learn the girl was better and would soon be back at work as if she had ! been a personal friend.
 Indeed, Cora soon began to feel these 1 busy workers were her friends. She
 learned great deal by gazing into their
 world from her own back windows. Here

 And there were women, too, working at
 the long flower strewn tables who ought l to have been making baby clothes at 1 home. Cora sighed as she watched them. ] She had never known much about this
 strange world of workers, who worked
 in youth, in maternity, in old age-worked so hard for so little.

Mississippi as the old states One in- teresting woman whose ancestors were AIabamians remarked to me: How can you stay in Texas when you could live in Alabama? From my earliest childhood have heard wonderful things about it and always wanted to go there where they have immense trees and beautiful mountains and l thought she was right, for aside from my many friends I missed the trees and mountains most, for Dallas. where was for the greater part of the time, is on the plains. Dallas is a very progressive city and among other things has a number of nice studios, all well patronized, for the people be- lieve in having their pictures made in that land of sunshine, and they do have more sunshine to the square inch than any place I ever was in"
 Speaking of pictures, did you ever stop to think what a remarkable leap it is from our earliest knowledge of photo- graphic action,' which, no doubt, was the tanning of the skin by the suns rays, and this is as truly the effect of solar radiation as is the darkening of sensitive paper which is now in use in photo- graphic operations to our present day magnificent are creations in photogra- phy? To England belongs the honor of first producing a photograph by the utili zation of Schu1e observations on chloride of silver; this was as early as 1902. Niepce and Daguerre later perfected the Daguerreotype, and were pensioned by the French government. of such great importance was this discovery consid- cred.
 Perhaps there is no sentence which could be quoted that illustrates more forcbly the advance made in photogra- phy from the days when this process was described than. this remark of Daguerre's: 'The times required to procure a photo- graphic copy of a landscape is from seven to eight hours, but single monu- ments, when strongly lighted by the sun, or which are themselves very bright, can be taken in about three hours.

1D) BIRMINGHAM has some very clever ID photographers, among them sew
 eral women who have specialized in this particular profession, which, if you've ever visited an up-to-date studio, you know is a most interesting one.
 Miss Lula Tyus is one who has chosen to follow photography as her life work and being a clever, artistic, progressive young woman, she has perfected herself in every way possi- ble in her chosen profession.
 Recently she has returned from two-year stay out in TeXas-in Dallas and there she had the opportunity of learning a great many new things about photography, as the western and southwestern people have a little way of giving different touch to anything they attempt and Miss Tyus remarkably clever.
 In chatting with Miss Tyus few days ago about the changes that have come about in things photographic, the styles in this work changing as much as the styles in clothes and auto mobiles and dancing and everything else, she said, alluding to her visit out in Texas and the environment there:
 "The two years I spent in the big, breezy, hustling west were most de- lightful; the broad minded, good- natured people are charming and there is no escaping the invigorating effect of the all-prevailng air of energy and prosperity abounding in that section at the present time. But Texas with her 20-cent cotton, grain and cattle commanding prices undreamed of by our forefathers, could not take the place in my heart of dear old Ala bama. You know in the west they speak of all the states east of the
