Modern Dreadnaushts.

Beyond ell doubt modern drHaC
naughts represent the highest level Of
controlled strength that the human
race has yet seen. The fact that $4,000
tons or more of metal can be driven
through water at the speed of all ex-
press train while its big guns hurl
shells weighing three-quarters of a
ton to a distance of twenty miles is n
miracle in mechanism.
During the evolution of the warshlp
to it's present state of efficiency marine
engineers have been faced with the
problem Of protecting vital parts of the
vessel from the ever increasing hitting
power of large shells. In other words,
the fighting value depended upon it's
ability to take as well a. give hard
knocks. Some idea of the difficulty
may be gathered from the fact that a
fifteen inch shot strikes a blow at its
maximum point of speed capable of
lifting $4,000 tons a foot from the
ground OndOn Standard.

GAS MASKS ARE
WORN BY KIDS
SCHOOLS CONDUCTED UNDER
DIFFICULTIES IN FRENCH
WAR ZONES

NEW YORK, July 81. - Schools
in caves, with pupils and teachers
wearing gas masks, are Extremes to
which war-ridden France has gone
to insure for every child that her
itage in which alone is the pro-
phesy of an enduring nation" says
an official report to the regents of
the University of the City of New
York, by John l.. Finley, president
of the university and state commits
sioner of education. who recently
returned from France, where he
studied the effect of the French
school system.
France has not for one moment
forgotten her culture defense, said
President Finley. Women by thou
sands have taken the places of men
teachers called to the front, many
of whom, incapacitated for battle,
have returned to teaching.
President Finley especially
sought the advice of France in
meeting like conditions here. This
advice, summed up, is, he said:
do not let the needs of the
hour, however, heavily they fall on
the men and women of the day,
permit neglect of the defenses of
tomorrow, Sacrifice everything to
bequeath the spirit that we would
preserve and enlarge in our chill
dren."
Mr.. Finley urged the United
States to ia Ike time to prepare
against exhaustion of our technical
skill and professional equipment.
Except to make place for physi-
cal training in her schools, which
is not yet generally prescribed or
enforced President Finley, says
there is little change in the French
curriculum. France, after al
unsuccessful experiment Is years
go, withdraw military training
from her public schools.
While in France Mr.. Finley took
steps to bring about a closer CO.
operation between the universities
of that country III the United
States.

What a Billion Means.

If a railway train proceeding at the
rate of a mile Il minute had been at
the dawn of the Christian era started
around the earth on a straight track
its object being to run 1,O00,oOO,OOo
miles without stop, it would have been
necessary for that train to circle the
earth 10000 times, and it Woul not
have come to the end Of its journey
until nearly New Years eve, Il SIN
teen centuries after Christ was born.
During its frantic fight it would have
seen the Saviour live and die; Rome
rise. flourish and decay; Britain dis
covered and vanquished by the Roman
legions. and London and Paris built,

eight or nine to ease the situation.
Federal judicial districts, the areas
used for geographical distribution of

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July %. =
The work of checking the draft
tally sheets is nearly completed and
copies will probably be mailed to-
night to local exemption boards
throughout the country,
General Crowder has issued the
following statement:
The drawing is complete and has
apparently been successful. The Of
fetal tally sheets have been COM
pared, sent to the printer and the
proofs have been received. Final
copies will be ready for distribution
not later than Tuesday.
THE next step will be the certifi-
cation of the results of the drawing
to 1857 local boards and the appli-
cation by each board of its chart to
it's serially numbered list. This
need consume but little time and
when done the order of priority of
the nearly 10000 900 res'strants TIC
report for examination will be re-
vealed.
Such additional drafts as may
be ordered by the president will be
filled hy men called in the order of
the established liability and no
further draft will ever be necessary.
Each local board, upon receipt o.
it's chart and upon notification by
the governor of the quota to be rails
ed by it. may proceed at once, under
regulations already promulgated, to
men for examination.

keepinq YOUNG.

When Or. Anna Howard Shaw was
asked how she kept so young she re-
piled that. though it may have been
running for trains all her life, yet she
is rather inclined to think that mental
activity and constitutional cheerful
ness are always responsible for keep
ing young.
"A woman whose mind is active does
not realize hat she is not always at
exactly the same age" said DR.. Shaw;
therefore she never grows OLD. 1t Is
no the mental activity that keeps her

Cuts of Meat and CaIorific Value.

The kind or cut of meat used does
not usually make much difference in
the full or caloritic value.
There is IA popular belief that porter
house steak and other choice cuts of
beef represent the highest forms of
nourishment to be obtained. This is,
however, Il misconception. The full
value of brisket or ribs Of beef, as well
rs mutton and lamb, exceeds the much
desired tenderloin steak.
According to Langworthy, expert in
charge of nutrition investigation of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, for all practical, everyday pur-
poses it may be considered that the
protein obtained from "a given weight
of meat differs very little either with
the kind of meat or the cut"

you make sacrifices SO that he can go

you have seen a case of it and won
dered about it. You have wondered
about the right and wrong of it, the
wisdom or the folly of it. You have
thought sometimes that 10 human be-
ing, however brilliant, has a right to
accept so much from others. Then
there is often the question as to wheth-
er the favored one in such a family Is
really the most gifted n after all.
1t is quite p~ossible-if only II can go
that William should come home from
his musical studies in New York and

a DANGEROUS Precedent.

The worst case of law versus justice
and common sense is one which Mon
taigne relates as having happened in
his own day. Some men were con-
demned to death for murder. The
judges were then Informed by the oili-
GERS of an inferior court that certain
persons in their custody had confessed
themselves guilty of the murder and
had told so circumstantial "a tale that
the fact was placed beyond all doubt.
Nevertheless it was deemed SO bad a
precedent to revoke a sentence and
show hat the law could err that the
innocent mel were delivered over to
execution.-London Mail.

Nevada Pioneer Dead

William Mcmillan, former state
treasurer and one-time republican
candidate for governor of Nevada,
died at Battle Mountain recently
while making a trip from Austin
to Reno, where he was going to
secure treatment for a nervous
breakdown. He was 62 years of
age. Mcmillan was accompanied by
his wife and other relatives at the
time of his death. Going to Vir-
ginia City in the early 7O's, before
the big fire, Mcmillan engaged in
mining and distinguished himself
in the state Legislature as a sup
porter of labor. For his services
in the interest of labor his picture
was hung in the headquarters OF
the Virginia City miners union and
is still there. Years later he ran
for governor and lost a three-cor>
nered fight by 80 votes.

Men Registered For Draft Already
Being Called Up For
Examination
FAILURE TO RESPOND
MEANS COURT-MARTIAL
Master Lists Have Been Mailed and
Race Is on to Fill
Quotas

WASHINGTON, D. C. July 25.-
The race between the states for tho
honor of being the first to fill their
quotas under the selective draf.
has begun. The calling up of men
for physical examination began to-
day in several regions. Refusal to
appear means trial by cOurt-mar>
tial.
With the master lists of FRI
days CONSUMPTION drawing in tbs
mail for distribution to the local
boards, the task of assembling the
national army of a half million has
passed out of the hands of the fec
eral government and into those o.
the civilian authorities who will
notify the men drawn and pass on
exemptions.
AS soon as the lists are receive.
each board will summon for PHI
steal examination double the num-
Der of men in the district quota. II
more are needed the authorities
will keep on calling until the quots
is filled.
The final list shows only a few
errors in the unofficial report OF
the drawing already transmitted
throughout the country by the
press.
Including all the adjustments
found necessary in correcting the
official list there are less than two
score variations between the list
compiled by The Associated Press
and the master sheet.

High Prices For Wool

Twelve thousand pounds of wool.
mostly from Merino sheep, was sold
a few days ago by George Hussman
of Gardnerville to a Boston firm
for So cents a pound. This is
thought to be the highest price
paid to any Nevada wool man this
year for his 1917 clip. Most of
the wool in this state was contract
ed for several months ago at
around 80 cents.
