THOUGHT Cakes Tainted.

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making
special effort to bake a prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done
but when removed from the stove II
fell fiat and had sad streak through

over she exclaimed in great excite
ment: ooh, auntie, mother made three
cakes and two of 'em tainted"

"See?"

There is a little word used in con-
versation by the careless, the ignorant,
that, in the way it is used, notes the
Milwaukee Journal, is almost the sill
Hest, the most senseless expression
in the language. See?
Use of this word at the end of every
sentence in conversation serves only
to clog the thought. See? Yet the
ignorant thrust it in, as if feeling
themselves unable to put their ideas
into clear English-see?-as if they
felt the other fellow were not getting
what they wanted to say. See? In
ninety cases out of a hundred they
merely insult the intelligence Of the
nearer by their insinuatiOn that he
can't understand and follow their sim.
pie train of thought. See?
There is no need of mentioning the
name of the silly little word. See?

Berlin, JAZZ. 26.-Chancellor Won
Hertling, in his address before the

Thursday, said there was no difference

was eminently important for future
free navigation that England should De

fed points of support on international
sailing routes, such as Gibraltar, Alden,
Hongkong and the Falkland islands.
Commenting on the IA points in the
program for world peace set forth IN
President Wilson's address to con-
gress, he said an agreement could De

four points.

Outlines Unsatisfactory.
"Concretely, the outlines are unsat-

sisted.
He demanded that "enemy leaders"
set forth new proposals."
"There are no differences between
us and President Wilson as to freedom
of the SEAS" the German chancellor
asserted.
'But it is most important for future
freedom of navigation that England re-
linquish strong fortified points placed
on important sailing routes-such as
Gibraltar, Malta, Alden, Hongkong and
the Falkland isles"
Restriction of military prepare

cussing President Wilson's demand for
limitations of ornaments, sis open to
discussion. The financial position of
all European countries after the war
will probably work effectively for a
satisfactory solution of this matter"

AT Launching of
New Mine Sweeper
Police Commissioner Calls
Vessel ''Humble Hero of
Modern Naval Warfare"

The Todd Shipyards Corporation yes
terday launched its third mine sweeper
at the foot of Twenty-third Street

navy will employ in keeping open the
Atlantic and North Sea lanes.
Police Commissioner Enright, the
chief speaker at the "knocking off
ceremony, sent the Robin on her way
with good-luck wish for that sweeper
and all of her class.
"These boats have proven them selves
the humble heroes of modern naval
warfare" he said. when the history
OF this war is written students prob
ably will look in vain for the name of
the Robin. But she will have gone
quietly into dangers, nevertheless. and
done her work as we'll as any of the
greater ships"
The Robin is one of the first of q
fleet of forty-four sweepers contracted
for by the government and expected to
be delivered by the various Eastern
shipyards this year. The Todd Cor
poration has launched three, and the
moment one vessel leaves the ways
workmen start laying the keel of the
next. The fourth boat will be sent
into the water on July 4.
The sweeper fleet will be comprised
Of standardized boats, 1So feet long,
of 81 feet beam and a deadweirht tom
