SCHWAB THANKS
 PRESS FOR AID

Philadelphia, Dec. 25-Charles M Schwab in retiring from the post of Director General of the Emergency Fleet Corporation expressed his ap- preclation of the cooperation Cf the press of the country and the news paper support of his efforts. As host at luncheon to the heads of de- partments of the Corporation he said:
 I wish to express my sincere an- preC'ation to the press of Philadel- nIa and to tile press of the +atI"e country for their splendid co-opera- ton. The spontaniety of this CO., operation was for me an inspiration which ever served to tighten the great tasks that confronted me dur ing my service as Director General. Newspapers throughout the lard worked in concert to give the proper impetus to the shipbui1ding program their work was constructive and American to the core. At all times the newspaper workers, from the managing editor to the reporter, dis played an intense, patriotic desire to aid in making the work of the Elmer gency Fleet Corporation a success.
 ''The splendid work of the news papers is reflected in the shipyards where hundreds of thousands of em- ployes are turning out our ships. The newspapers did lions share in the work of keeping up the morale of the shipbuilders and for this I am grate- full more than words can express. ] am proud of the press of my country proud of the work that thousands of individual newspapermen every where did to mould public opinion in favor of the shipbuilding program.

New DreadnOughts For U. s. To Outrank
 Worlds Greatest

Washington. Dec. 26.-The new su- Ing built for the United States navy mig built for the United States navy will tower in fighting strength far above anything now in the American or other navies of the world.
 Some idea of the fighting power of the new dreadnought may be gained from the statement that it's gunpower will be greater by 33 per cent. than that of the New Mexico, the greatest battleship yet built.
 The gun power of the battle cruis- CTS will be equal to that of the battle ship New Mexico.
 The greatest feature of the new bat tie cruisers is that each will be driven by 1SO.000 horsepower, the greatest propulsive force ever contemplated for a ship of war.
 The calibre of the guns on the new warships will be 16 inch, one inch greater than thea largest in the Eng fish or any other foreign navy. Some of the European navies have guns of IS inch calibre, designed for a special type of monitor, but they proved to be mere freaks of construction, rather than of real fighting value.
 The statement is also made that a peculiarly designed ship was built for one of the European navies that had a speed of 45 miles an hour, mounting but one gun fore and aft it proved to be of little practical or naval value and has been discarded.
 The American dreadnought is in- tended to be fighting craft that can- not be outstripped by rival navies for at least a, quarter of century.
 The battleships will have a speed o1 23 knots and will carry eight 16-inch guns.
 The battle cruisers will have a speed of not less than 35 knots an hour anG each will carry eight 16-inch guns. the same as now mounted on the New 1 Mexico.
 It is planned to build 10 of the SUI per dreadnoughts and six of the bat | tie cruisers, and they will be com pleted as quickly as possible.

 The thieves escaped in an automo- bile, the policeman being unable to pursue on account of the numerous Christmas shoppers.

 EGG CONTEST

During the seventh week of the laying contest at Storrs, the total production of all pens amounted to 1,4S4 eggs, which was at the rate Of PIP per cent. This figure represents a gain of 27 eggs over the preceding week, as compared with a drop of 4O eggs in the corresponding week Of last year. The four pens which were on the honor roll last week repeated their performance in the seventh week and maintained the same rela- tive positions. The White Wyan- dottes belonging to Laurel Hill Farm of Bridgeton, R. l., won first place with a production of A eggs. A. P. Robinson's White Leghorns from Calverton. N. Y, were second with a yield of 40 eggs. Obed G. Knight White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, R I.,-were forced to share third place with a pen of Barred Plymouth Pocks belonging to Jules F. Francals of Westhampton Beach, L. l. Two pens of Barred Rocks belonging to Samuel M. Monks, Hartford, and Rock Rose Farm, Katonah, N. Y, tied for fourth place with produc- tior. of 35 eggs.
 The leading pens of Wyandottes and White Leghorns are considera- blv ahead of the leading pens of the same breed at the same time last wear. On the other hand, the best pen of Barred Rocks is at present over 50 eggs behind the corresponding record last year, and the leading pen of Rhode Island Reds lacks about 4o eggs of equalling the seven weeks record of the best pen last year.

NINON DE LENCLOS.

Ninon was born in Paris in 1915 and was brought up in. an environ ment of pleasures and dissipation. Al 16 years of age Ninon was left an orphan, but even at this tender age was famed for her charm and wit. Men of distinction frequented her house, among. them being the Mar quis of Gersey, to whom she bore son. This son later became the vic tim of an unhallowed passion for his own, mother, unknowingly, and when he learned that he was the son of the woman with whom he had fallen in love he committed suicide. Queen Christina of Sweden offered to attach Ninon to her household, but this of fer was rejected. Up to the very end of her life Ninon attracted men. When she was 80 years old she ex- cited the violent passion of the Abbe Gedoyn, who was then only 2S years old. Ninon died at the age of 90.

A white flag is the signal most

TO SAVE CARGO SPACE

Maj. Gen. George w. Cocktails,
chief OF the division of purchase,

of the army, has commissioned Arth-
ur A. Hammerschlag. president of
the Carnegie Institute. and Lieut..
Col. j. w. Mcintosh. subsistence di-
vision, Q. b. c.. N. A.. to cooperate
with the Chicago packers In the ex-
leriments which may save up TO 40
per cent OF the tremendous cargo
space now required for shipping fresh
beef. President Hammerschlag and
Col. Mcintosh have already reached
lie stock yards and the experiments
have begun.
The experiments contemplate not
only the conservation of shipping
space, but also the problem of having
the packages small enough to be
handled by the class OF labor avail
able at unloading ports overseas and
the quick and convenient issue at
supply depots in France.
They range from the mere cutting
of the carcass into more convenient
sizes and shapes to the entire boning
of the carcass to be packed in boxes

meat products being prepared for

Pigeon training has become an in
teresting as well as valuable activity
in the new army OF the United States.
Pigeon lofts are maintained at many
of the army camps and aviation fields
throughout the country. Each loft
is numbered just as every air squad
ron and every regiment of infantry,
cavalry and artillery is numbered.
The birds are taken over by the gov
eminent before they are old enough
for raw recruits; are fed and condi-
toned to make them strong and then
are given a course of training Just
as are human recruits in the regular
establishment
When the training of these young
pigeons is completed they go over
seas, the same as the soldiers. The
birds play their part on the battle
line, are killed and wounded and
some are taken prisoner, but like
the horses and dogs with which they
serve in the great war, they are new
er decorated, never cited for bravery
in action and never appear in the
reports of casualties.
Two of the flying centers where
pigeons are specially trained are
Kelly and Carruthers fields in Texas
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1918-10-17

Not fewer than rs pigeons are sent
overseas from Kelly field every six
weeks. They come to the Kelly lofts
when about three months old and
are trained by experts over period
of six to eight weeks before they are
considered fit for duty. The lofts
are mobile, corresponding to those
in use in France and when the train
ing of the birds is finished at Kelly
field they are ready to go directly TO
the trenches.
The first period of advanced train
ing of these pigeons comes with flock
tossing, after which they have been
taught to return to their lofts when
liberated at distances of from two to
twenty miles from the field. This is.
they are set free In groups to pre-
vent their being confused and con-
sequently separated and lost. AS
soon as they have been liberated sew
eral times in this manner and have
found their way home again they
are taken out and tossed individual
| ly. Each pigeon has a number, and
by bell devices at the entrance of
the coop their arrivals and the time
of their flights are kept on record.
