Our navy department says it has
no reason to believe any of the Ger
man submarines that have been
pirating up and down our coasts have
been destroyed. It is the belief of
some of our naval experts that the
submarines that have been sent over
here from Germany are of extra size
and greater carrying capacity than
the average U-boat, enabling them to
cruise longer, but at the same time
making them of less speed. This
theory is borne out by the success
which several comparatively slow
steamers have had when attacked by
the subs in running. away from them.

its winding rivers run win and rest
the eyes by their loneliness. Galbraith
Springs has a deep interest to many
Ocala people because it was the birth
place and home Of Miss Mary Wyatt
Galbraith, who died while on visit
to this city little over a year ago.
The quiet beauty of her mountain
home entered fully into the soul of
this talented and charming girl and
was given many expressions by her
gifted pen.

KEEP THE FIGURES STRAIGHT

One day last week, Mr.. R. C. Camp
published in the Star an advertise
ment, in which he made the following
statement:
The city records show that the cost
of making power for the first two
weeks of June is as follows:
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-06-24


Mr.. Camps figures would stagger
any taxpayer. They would convince
him that our city plant costs $1,000 a
month in fuel alone, for two weeks is
less than half of month.
Perhaps Mr.. Camp did not have the
matter fully explained to him, or he
would not have made such a mislead-
ing statement. While $491.65 had
been paid for wood in two weeks, not
near that much had been burned The
superintendent of the plant buys wood
when he can, for some times he can't
obtain it. At the time Mr.. Camp OBJ
tanned his figures, there was large
supply of wood on hand. As will be
seen by the superintendent report,
$500, instead of buying wood for only
little over two weeks will buy it for
nearly month
Also, Mr. Camp gives US $80.18 as
the cost of fuel oil used. The superin-
tendent reports $3.50 paid for fuel
oil last month, of which on June 1st
AGO gallons were on hand. During
the first two weeks of June. the oil
engine was in operation thirteen
hours-a little over half day. The
superintendent says he does not know
where Mr.. Camp found that bill for
S81.60; thinks it is an old one picked
up by mistake.
The amount for salary for engi-
neers is also erroneous. The day en-
gineer receives 500 a month; the
night man $50. SO Mr.. Camp was off
$57 on this.
It must be remembered that If the
city takes power from the Florida
Power Company, men and fuel will
have to be kept on hand all the time,
in case of an accident to the line or
at the powerhouse. At least one en-
gineer and one fireman or a CORE
spending force must be on duty all
the time.
IF Mr.. Camp is going to convince
the people of the city of the advisa-
bility of using his company's power,
he must be careful with his figures.
Following is Mr.. Caldwell's report:

What Becomes Of That Cent?

A farmer comes to town with &c
apples, which he sells three for Il cent,
getting. of course, 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with 30 APP
pies, sells them two for a cent, getting
10 cents for his. They get % cents
in all.
The next time they come In, with
30 apples each, they meet at the edge
of town and put their apples together,
making 60 apples. One man having
sold two for cent, the other three for
a cent, they decided TO sell them five
for cents.
They do so, and when they're
through find out they have received
but "a cents.
The problem is, why did they not
get as much for their apples selling
them five for 2 cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or. what
becomes Of the cent?

HOW BIG SHELLS ARE TESTED
HiCh Explosives Subjected 20 Heat
Treatment, Also Tried in a Brinell
GaIl-Testing Machine

If you wish to test the hardness OF
IN apple, the most natural way is to
press down upon its surface and note
.he indentation OF your thumb. This
Is simple and conclusive evidence. The
Trench government employs n very
imllar test TO prove the hardness OF
its high explosive shells, says the Pop
uIar Science Monthly.
To secure the maximum of dcstruc-
tiyeness, it is important not only that
the steel. projectiies should be of a
certain hardness, hut also that they
should not be too hard. After the cas-
ing has been roughly formed and hol-
lowed out the shells are subjected to
what is known as Il cheat treatment"
by which the steel Is brought to the
correct hardness. To make doubly
sure, the shells are tested in a Brinel
ball-testing machine.
This machine tests the hardness of
the shell exactly as your thumb tests
the hardness of the apple. 1t is fitted
with a small, hardened steel ball
which is pressed into the shell under a
specified load. The indcntation made
by the ball is measured. and If with.
IN certain limits, the hardness Is cor
rect. If not, the shell must be fur

POWER OF; JOY RULES WOULD
Pain, Declares Woman Lecturer,
Should Never BE Resorted to in
Correcting Unruly Children.

A woman is lecturing in the East
on "The Influence of JOY" 1t is also
an attack on the influence of pain,
which parents so much resort to in
the management of children. She de-
clares, according to the Ohio State
Journal. that pain should never be re-
sorted to to make children good, and,
hence, she advises that all spankinss
and whippings should he eliminated
There is nothing in pain to recon-
struct a child. JOY Is the only medium
that should be used. Make a child
happy, instead of sad, is the gospel
of child training. The power that
lived, moved and ruled the world. she
said, was the power of joy; and this
was the influence the parent should
use in training the child. This is not
the way Of parents. The rule is to
whip the child 10 make him good. It
cannot result that way. A kind word
and gentle association are far more
powerful than a rod or any other
method for producing sorrow or pain.

i.lEAFlING OF NAME DECEMBER
Twelfth Months Title Derived From
Latin Word "Decem," When There
Were Only Ten Periods.

The name of December is no longer
appropriate, for it is derived from ode
ccn," the Latin word meaning "ten,"
declares q writer. The name was first
applied by the Romans when the year
was divided into ten months, with the
addition of supplementary days TO
complete the period required for q
revolution of the earth around the
sun.
When the calendar of Homulus was
amended in 713 Il. c. by Numa Pom
pilius and the year was divided into
twelve months December became the
twelfth month, but retained its original
name. The Emperor Commolus, who
rcigned in the second century, attempt
ed TO change the name of December to
NmazOniuS, in honor of 81 fair favOrte
of that name, whom he had painted to
resemble an Amazon. This innovation
was not popular, and when Commodius
died from poison administered by an
other feminine favorite the name of
AmaZOnius died with him.
The ancient SaXous called the last
month Winter-mOnut.. which was after
ward changed 10 Heilig-Monat, or holy
month, when they We're converted to
Christianity. The modern Germans
again changed the name to Christ
mOnat, because the month contains the
anniversary Of the birth of Christ.

quieter. but there Is still activity. All
