The Aiming of Merchantmen.

Our state department, following ac-
cepted principles of international law,
holds that merchant vessel of bellig-
erent may arm herself for defense with
out losing her rights as merchant yes
sell. In prescribing what shall be con-
sidered measures for defense its regula-
tions provide that cannon may be mount
ed at the rear of, the vessel, but not at
the front.
On the other hand, the British admir-
atty holds, in view of the new dangers
to merchant vessels, that ii is permissi-
BILE TO strengthen the means of defense
and that to mount guns on the front is
a reasonable and proper Development
that it is inconsistent to say a mer-
chant vessel may defend herself and
then to deny to her the use of means for
an effective enjoyment of the right. In
olden days, when the guns of assailants
We're of shorter range, the guns mer-
chairman could legally carry were small

argued that as the guns could be in

Some Hints About the Fashions

The fashion editor of the Women's
Home Companion says in the February
issue:
"The frivolous fan has actually gone
off on a utility tangent. It serves a
double purpose. Turn it one way, and
it's a fan, turn IT the other. and Won

estly in the background. 1t is satin with

sides with uncurled ostrich feathers ar
ranged in fan shape. A tortoise shell
bracelet is the finish.
Exquisite Chinese embroidery band
ing is now used for belts. These bands.
with their mingling of lovely colors, are
edged with fur. Some of the belts are
tight fitting and some are long enough
to tie loosely at the sides, the ends are
finished with fur tail or two.

particular times to support principles
What would be valid as defensive meas.
ures now would not have been valid a
few years ago. Elements of absurdi-
ty are contained in seeking to resist
amendments to regulations when the
facts change. Not little of the com
fusion existing as to the armed ship
controversy viii be removed if thought
is concentrated ON the principle behind
our regulations rather than on the reg
themselves. Before the inven-
ton of firearms it might well have been
ordered that merchantmen should carry
only cutlasses. But when assailants
equipped themselves with firearms the
restriction as to cutlasses was proper
ly removed. If merchantmen may
not defend herself from attack by sub
marine except with a forward gun it
would seem to follow that the forward
gun may be mounted, otherwise there is
the absurdity of granting right and
then denying its enjoyment.-New York

Armour Believes in His Mems Judgment

| Merle Crowell has written an article
for the February American Magazine
about j. O. Armour the well known
packer of Chicago, and he says;
'ln the Hurried week before last La.
Dor day. when a nationwide railroad
strike seemed Just around the corner,
an avalanche of messages rolled in on the
Telegraph companies. Business firms
were stampedng to the wires with emer-
Igency instructions to their branch houses
and agents. II traffic tie-up came,
chaos would come with it.
"One organization had superlative
interest in the situation. Much of it's
half million dollar annual business was
in perishable food stuffs; hundreds OF
tons were in transit or temporary stor-
age. Freight stagnation meant mighty
loss, the extent of which would be de-
termined by the agility of its men afield,
by the wits of nearly four hundred
branch house managers.
"In nis crisis there went out from
the company's main office in Chicago to
each branch house single message. 1t
filed perhaps line and half on the
telegraph blank, and read like this:
"'In the event of strike we expect
every man to, use his own judgment
"No instance could be more typical
of the way in which j. Ogden Armour
handles his forty thousand employees.
This quiet, thoughtful-eyed industrial
leader, just turned fiftythree, is APP
plying hand made business gospel to
the twelve companies he controls, APP
plying it in manner so Invested of
show that few people beyond his own
know anything about it.
In its last analysis the Armour creed
runs:
"'Big men are only little men given
a fair chance TO grow"

MOfhcr-Made, Quick
Acting Cough Syrup
should be Kept Handy in Every
Home-Easily Prepared and
Costs Little.

Mothers, you'll never know what you
are missing until you make up this in
expensive, quick-acting cough syrup and
try it. Children love its pleasant taste
and nothing else will loosen a cough or
chest cold and heal the inhamed or
swollen throat membranes with such
ease and promptness. It's equally a.
good for grown-ups as for children.
This splendid cough syrup is made b.
pouring 21a ounces of Pinex $50 cent
WORTH, into a pint bottle and filling til
bottle with plain graduated sugal
syrup. This gives you a full pint
family supply--of much better cougl
remedy than you could buy ready mad
for $2,50-a clear saving of So.
The moment it touches the infamed,
cold-congested membranes that line the
throat and air passages, the healing be-
gins, the phlegm loosens, soreness
leaves, cough spasms lessen and soon
disappear altogether, thus ending a
cough quicker than you ever thought
possible. Hoarseness and ordinary
coughs are conquered by it in "a hours
or less. Excellent for bronchitis, whoop-
ing cough, spasmodic Group, bronchial
asthma or winter coughs.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM

Fortymile Gold District, Alaska.

The earliest placer mining in the Alas
ka part of the Yukon basin was done on
the bars of Fortymile river in 1886, and
during the next two years hundreds of
miners came to the scene of the discoy-
cry. This event opened up inland Alaska
and led to the discovery of the famous
Klondike plaeers, on the Canadian side
of the boundary, some 10 years later.
Over 5000, 100000 worth of gold has been
taken out of the Klondike and the Alas

NATION TO MAKE
IT'S OWN SHELLS
Secretary Daniels Decides That Navy
Department Will Advertise for
Machinery.

Washington, Feb. l.--Secretary Dan
iels has decided that the United States
will make its own navy projectiles if
United States manufacturers can't sup
ply them at reasonable rates. While no
official announcement has been made, it
was officially limited yesterday that the
arrangement whereby Hadfields, the Brit
ish concern, was to supply $3,000,000
worth or more of projecties is off.
The navy department will this week
advertise for machinery to equip gov
eminent projectile plant. Admiral
Fletcher, coincidentally, will look for a
suitable site for the government factory.
He was so instructed yesterday.
This action was decided on despite a
communication from the British minister
of munitions saying Hadfelds might be
able to supply the projectiles wanted
within Is or l6 months.
One American plant, Secretary Daniels
said yesterday, has offered to lease their
plant, or to sell outright to the govern
ment. The department will consider any
that the company may make,
he said. The secretary would not divulge
the company's name.
The communication from the minister
of munitions, Mr.. Daniels said, would
not affect the present status of the pro-
jeetile situation.
The fact that the contract might be
filled later was "merely the opinion of
representatives of the British firm, and
it is not known how long present exigen-
cies will continue" Mr.. Daniels said.

He explained, however, that this
amount is not more than half as much
as was on hand at this time year ago.
and that the present price of about s5.25
