The Cold Nerve
Sticking Out Of Him

U. S. S. KIT carries two officers
and twenty-four men. Her senior
two striper is her captain. Her
junior is her second, combining the
functions Of executive officer. chief
engineer, navigator and torpedoist.
Ten of her crew are her black gang,
seven are gunners' mates and five
are electricians. The rest are her
listener and her cook.
Her captain is a herring cho!ler
from Maine, who takes butter on his
potatoes, and you can see the cold
nerve "sticking out ali over him."
You gather the impression that if
you were to walk up to him with a
revolver and begin shooting at him
it wouldn't necessarily annoy him
unless you kept it up too long, in

W. lTH an American subma-
" rine tlotilla at European
base tby U. S. naval cou-
rier), July 25.-Having completed
her patrol at sea, U. S. S. X-17 came
home to mother early on Tuesday
morning. While she was yet long
way off the breakwater U. S. S.
Mark, to whom all submarines look
alike, sighted her.
H ell'sbells- e-it-is-pen-
eral--quarters,' said the officer of
the deck, all in single breath. The
captain bolted out of the cabin in
his pajamas, made the bridge in a
jump, ordered full ahead and
started out to sea, dragging his
mudhook and calling out to his Of
ficer of the deck:
"Where is he now Where is he
now"
But U. S. S. X-17 paid no heed.
She knew that every binocular On
every ship at the base was Watching
her, but she was wearing the rccog-
milton signal of the day and her
Sunday go-to-m&eting colors, and
there her responsibility ended. SO
her captain sat on the rail of the
little chariot bridge around her tall
periscope fairwater and conned her
inside the breakwater with all her
matches open and the machine shop
roar of her engines echoing to the
hills back Of the admiraps house.

I orpedo a Jewel
Of Delicacy

Now, the torpedo is in reality a
immature submarine without crew.
Looking at a number Of them with
their dull red warheads on, strapped
by steel bands into the side of the
torpedo compartment, one imagines
That d torpedo is as tough as the
rickelled steel Of its long body-its
long, slim body ending in twin
screws and small rudders. But it is
not. Within it is jewel of delicacy,
adjusted with microscopic precision
and as exquisitely fashioned as a
chronometer.
The submarine itself is not exactly
delicate. but every little handle in
her central operating compartment
has meaning all it's own. She aims
her torpedo with her own helm, and
whenever it plcases her captain at
the forward periscope to touch the
torpedo key she sends it away with
10000 pounds Of compressed air, a
reluctant "whoosh" and farewell
nod at the bow. And she says, as
she fees to fifty fathoms with ten
tons negative buoyaNcy and no bot
tom:
There's my Youngest daughter.
Take look at her, take a look at
her. y

central operating compartment, the
after battery compartment and the
engine room. The officers hang out
in the torpedo compartment. The
crew hangs out in the forward bat
terry compartment. And they all
mess together in the after battery
compartment, where the cook hangs
out.
1t ought to be mentioned, how
ever. that her captain says the air
is usually good from the coming
tower aft. There may be an inch or
two of pressure, although eve try
to keep the pressure down.
Fatter Than Other
Navy Crews
Yet the total effect of it is that
the heat and sleep they undergo
make submarine men fatter than
other navy men. Although they are
given waterproofs and "submarine
clothes" for protection against ex-
tremes of heat and cold, they all
wear dungarees except the captain,
who wears dungarees and dancing
pumps. For submarine is as cold

THE VALUE OF A HOME


Is most keenly realized and the home
itself most thoroughly enjoyed if you
own it.
There is an even greater benefit
than the personal, as evidenced by the
timely and sagacious words of Gov
ernor Gardner of Missouri, who spoke
recently to the Negro Industrial Coun-
Gil meeting in Jefferson City, Jan. IL,
1918. He said to them:
Cultivate the habit of thrift
and economy. Become property
owners and thereby better citi-
zens. This can only be done by
the exercise of economy and stern
self-denial, but the reward is worth
the effort. I give it for my opin-
ion that the surest way for the
members of your race to overcome
the prejudices that have existed
against you for so many years is
for them to become a race of
property holders. y = ="

business is at your service. Property

and business property.
