OUR FIRST DREADNAUGHTS.
And the Paper BattIeship the U. S. S.
Scared %. Nothing.


One Of the most interesting episodes
in Vice Admiral Sims career was his
championship in the years 1904 of
the all big gun ships, the dreadnaughts.
This was two years before the British
brought out their first dreadnaught
reyOlutiOnizing the naval construction
policy Of the world. The progenitor of
the dreadnaught idea in the American
navy was Lieutenant Homer G. Pound
stone. PoundstOne for months had
treasured the idea of all big gun ships
hoping to win the support of the navy
for such a construction change. Meet
ing Encouragement, he sought out
Commander Sims. He quickly won
Sims support.
Poundstone was good craftsman,
and he and Sims in 1908 and 1904 made
sketches and drew plans for big gun
ship. The navy heads vetoed the plan
Of the two officers as often as they
brought it up for consideration, but
Sims never abandoned the idea. The
ship became a great joke around the
navy department. 1t is a striking CO.
incidence that the name given by these
two officers to their paper battleship
and the name by which the ship was
known in the navy offices was the
u. S. S. Scared-o' Nothing. Two years
afterWard the British admiralty called
its first all big gun ship Dreadnaught
Commander Sims convinced Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the dreadnaught
was bound to come. As a result the
plans for the battleships Michigan and
South Carolina, which had already
been authorized to be built in the old
way, were changed so that they slid
from the ways the first American
dreadnaughts.-WO Work.

1T WAS VERY GOOD COAL.
That 1t Was Spiced With Gunpowder
Made 1t All the Better.

Made 1t All the Better.
In reviewing his early life in Con-
stantinople Sir Edwin Pears tells an
amusing story of coal contractor who
was supplying the British feet with
fuel. A cOmmissariat officer on one &C.
casion went to him to say that man
of-War had just arrived in the Bos-
porus and was ordered to proceed to
the Crimea with distinguished officers
on board, but it was short of coal.
The contractor answered that one of
his small sailing vessels had just ar
rived laden with a cargo of coal and
that he would arrange to have it dis
charge the fuel directly on board the
man-OfWar.
A day or two later when the contrac-
tor saw his manager he asked what
had been done with about ninety kegs
of gunpowder that had been slowed on
the top of the coal
ooh, we found all the kegs empty"
said the manager. There was no pow
der to remove"
During the next three weeks the
contractor lived in constant dread He
feared that every ship coming from
the Crimea would bring. news Of an
explosion on the man-of-war and an
order for his arrest. He became i'll
from anxiety.
One day, fortnight later, he heard
with fear and trembling from his inner
office the voice of the commissariat
officer asking to see the merchant who
had supplied the ship with coal. He
put on a bold face and went out.
Eyes, you're the man." said the COM
missariat officer in loud voice. "You
gave us 300 tons of COAL It's the best
we have ever had. Instead of our
having to stop the ship while we clear
ed the tunnels whenever there is a new
firing up the smoke goes with a puff
that clears the funnel itself. I want
300 tons more; but, mind, it must be
of the same quality"

a Freak of Death Valley.

Saratoga springs is one of the freaks
of Death valley and has probably
caused more profanity than anything
else in the region. The waters are as
clear as crystal, and they bubble up
from a deep, sand basin like a we'll
spring of joy. But they are strongly
impregnated with sulphur and other
minerals, are tepid in temperature and
act instantly like an emetic upon any
one who drinks them.-Exchange

That was 800 years ago Today
Priscilla Standish Alden, 18 years old
and just as dainty as her grand
mother ten generations removed, is en-
rolled with the first unit of Health
Aides at the Milwaukee County hos
pital.
Priscilla Standish Alden is the
daughter of Arthur Alden Of Lady
cmith The family history goes back
in a direct male line to the log house
which John Alden built for his bride.
The family traditions have lived
through three centuries, and the
Priscilla of 1917 is just as brave and
just as ready to sacrifice herself as
the beautiful maiden Of Plymouth"
Priscilla Mullines nursed the sick
during the dreadful winter which car.
ried off half the Plymouth Colony.
Her parents and only brother died OF
the 'fever" that winter but when an
opportunity came to return to Eng
land the orphan girl decided to re.
main. She became the first mother
of the Colonies for her daughter was
the fest white child born in Plymouth
according to historians.
The Priscilla of 1917 will not have
to fear Indians, but she will fight
disease. She is going to be one of the
first Health Aides to be ready for
service in the state.
The State Council of Defense be-
neves Priscilla's example will be fol
lowed by other Wisconsin girls when
they understand the service they can
do for their state. The registered
nurses must care for the soldiers,
The Health Aides will help care fol
the sick at home.
Any member of County Council
of Defense can explain to those who
want to enlist.
The campaign by the State Council
of Defense to organize automobile
SQUADS in the state during the busy
days OF harvest time will show %
suits during the next few weeks
Kenosha county was the first to on
ganize such a squad,
Langlade County has such a squad
but there the business men of Amigo
decided also to furnish help for the
farmers In many other cities the
automobile will take idle labor to the
country districts. In Amigo the high.
way committee suspended the work
on the road for ten days and the en-
tire crew has been taken to the bar
vest feds.
