On the Screen
Norma Talmadge Charms in
The Secret of the
Storm Country"

The fine art Of Norma Talmadgc
helped to make "The Secret of the
Storm Country" which was shown at
the New York Theatre yesterday. de-
lightful picture.
Some one said TO us last week,
Norma Talmsdge has them all licked
to stsndstill," and after seeing Miss
Talmadge in her new picture We are in
clined to agree with him.
Unfortunately, no programmes are
issued at the New York Theatre, so,
with the exception of Ethel Gray Terry
we do not know who played the various
parts, but the case was more than ade-
quate.
Miss Terry, erstwhile leading woman
for Earle Williams, is the girl whom
Fred marrie5 after being secretly mar
ried to Tess.
IL is difficult to realize that it is
Norma Talmadge and not Eess that one
ia watching, for the illusion is perfect.
Miss Talmadge plays her part with her
brain and her heart as well as her slen-
der little body. She is q very wonder
full person, and her work in her new
picture is one Of the finest things that
has been done on the screen.
"The Secret Of the Storm Country" is
taken from the story, Tess of the
Storm Country" There is something
restfully complete about the titles and
the continuity which makes the story
interesting from the start. There is
none of that jumping back and forth
from scene TO scene, with snatches here
and snatchos there, which is inimical
70 the success Of photo-play.
Tess is the charming little daughter
Of squatter who is also an ex-con-
Wet. although he seems to be a pretty
fine and noble sort of person. The
father has been pardoned, however.
and when the story opens he is just
returning from Auburn Prison.
Tess has some delightful scenes all
by herself when she fixes up the cabin
for her fathers return. She sets the
table with shelf paper and copies the
decorations and the placing of the
tableware from the pictures in Good
Housekeeping
Then at night she goes forth TO meet
her lover. and one feels as soon as he
appears in the offing in exaggerated
riding clothes that he is going TO be
a thoroughly unworthy person Blu.
,etribution is swift, for he soon finds
himself with two wives-and that
proyes quite a retribution But there
is a guardian angel who insures Tess's
happiness at last.
The story holds the interest right
10 the end. and one really has no idea
THAT the final fadeaway will show. But
Il ia superhuous TO enumerate the
.aood noints Of this picture or try TO
snsIvle the charm. Suffice to say that
one Il entertained from start to finish
IA that there is not single Earring
note in the whole performance.

Less Vulnerable
To Torpedo Attack

Torpedo sharps say the explosion
of a torpedo against the sides OF
such a ship would be much more
localized than against a riveted
plate ship. Finally, it is agreed
that cast steel ships can be built to
speed lines, so that it is not neces-
sary to sacrifice speed of motion Of
the ship to speed Of getting it out,
as is the case with the fabricated
ship. To build ships that possess
speed it is necessary to have them
something more than prisms sharp
ened at the ends. This fact puts a
limitation on the application of the
fabrication idea in its fullest mean
ing to large ships, because 1t is not
considered desirable to pu. five or
six million dollars worth of con-
struction and cargo into single
slow ship.
Speed goes with size. The cast
steel ship can be built to attain any
desirable speed without interfering
with its essential virtue Of being
manufactured rather than built, a
virtue that it shares with the truly
fabricated steel plate ship. But as
the size Of the latter Is increased
and additional speed is demanded,
it must depend more and more on
regular ship shapes and old and slow
shipbuilding methods.
AS the cast steel ship, II feasible,
is 10 be built chiefly by unskilled
labor, il will not need to call on
the skilled machinists and metal
workers of the nation, but will leave
them free in large measure to be
concentrated on the propelling
power of the ships, the boilers and
engines, which are even now de-
manded in such unprecedented num-
bers that it is a question whether
the hulls will not come off the ways
faster than the power from the
shops.
And, finally, for the second time
the "monofer" need not interfere
for a minute with the building OF
all the steel plate ships the country
can produce.

Patrick Hayes Dead
Oldest Jail Warden
Noted az Political Foe of
Hugh Mclaughlin and
Patrick McCarren

Patrick Hayes, the paddy Hayes
about whom, as warden Of the work
house, centred many traditions, died
Yesterday in his quarters in the Queens
County jail from erysipelas. He was
seventy-three years old and was called
tho oldest prison warden in the United
States. For two years he had been
supervising warden Of the Department
Of Correction.
His strict sense OF discipline was
tempered by sense Of justice no less
strict, and the role of ogre in which
some Of the oldtimers in the workhouse
delighted to depict Paddy" Hayes 20
newcomers was one which did no: At
the man. q IS prisoners who came in con-
tact with him speedily discovered.
During his twenty eight years as prison
mead Hayes never carried a weapon in
the institutions of which he had charge.
Although of late years he was known
chiefly as Warden Hayes. Patrick Hayes
had been figure o. Importance in pol
ltics longer than in the Department of
Correction. In that field he displayed
the same independence which charac-
terlzed his dealings with his charges.
He was the founder Of the lroquois
Club of Brooklyn and the energetic
foe of the old Democratic organization
in that borough as represented by
Hugh Mclaughlin and Patrick II. Nc
Carren. Although the organization
outlawed him. he maintained an unre-
hitting warfare with the aid of the
lroquois Club. II was many years be-
fore his enemies succeeded in ousting
him from the leadership Of what is
now the 9TH Assembly District in Will
iamsburg.
He was borI in Ireland and came TO
the United States as boy. When
only seventeen he enlisted in the Sd
New York Infantry, one of the first
regiments 10 go to the front in the
Civil War, and served throughout that
conflict. After the war he became n
policeman, and in 1889 was appointed
warden of the Kings County Peniten-
tiary. When that ancient structure on
Grow Hill" was demolished he was
transferred TO Blackwell's Island. In
January, 1909, he was made warden Of
the City Prison there.
His home was in "a Palmetto Street,
Brooklyn, but for fifteen months he
had made the jail his residence. Two
daughters lived with him.

Patriot Wanted to Try Out Welded Vessel Idea
That Is Held Up by Official Red
Tape at Washington
By Theodore M. Knappen

America says he can cast the sec
tionS. The master welder of the ma
ton says he can put the sections to-
gether so that the joint will be
stronger than the section Lloyds
says there is no reason why such a
ship should not be passed on its
merits as a ship, regardless Of the
novel idea.
Marine architects say they can't
find any way of keeping the ship
from floating. Steel men say it will
require less weight of steel in pro-
portion TO carrying capacity than the
rolled steel ship. Efficiency experts
say that the process can be reduced
to such a mechanical art that green
workmen can become proficient at
their part Of the task within few
days. Builders of furnaces and foun-
dries see no reason why a great
plant cannot be quickly built that
will take iron ore in at one end and
turn out steel ship sections at the
other.
To say that America cannot pro-
duce enough iron and coke for the
job is to say that we can't build
ships because we haven't the raw
materials, which is to laugh.
No child's play, Of course.
War is the sport Of giants.
Cost calculators say that, while TO
build such a ship to-day, with the
sections cast in existing foundries
would be very costly, $12,000,00C
plant would turn them out for half
to two-thirds what a rolled steel ship
costs.
What's S12,OOO,0o0 among patriots!
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
is admirably spending s35, 100000 on
fabricating shipyards that may have
TO be junked when the war is over,
and Admiral Capps doesn't bat an

Ships Would Be
Cast in Four Parts

The body Of the ship would be
cast in four parts at each cross
section, viz, two sides and two bot
tom pieces; the internal structure
and the exterior surface Of the
chin at each section being cast in
a unit. A ship of 5000 tons would
involve about 800 castings. Ex-
ternally and internally the sections
would be united by the Wilson cleo
trio welding process. The welding
can be done just about as fast as
the moulds are knocked off the cool
