Picture That Kept Yanks
Healthy To Be Shown Here

A. Stanley CHM of Cleveland, spent
Friday In the city arranging the de-
tails for the presentation here of
film, eft to VIM" the government
motion picture drama which has play
ed an all important part in protecting
the men in the army from venereal
diseases.
1t Is probably that series of spe-
cial performances will be given ex-
clusively for women as we'll as for
men.
Universal interest to this feature
picture owing to the fact that for the
first time in the worlds history, gov
eminent has deemed it necessary to
educate and inform its citizens of that
insidious social cancer.
The story itself is replete with dra-
matte incident, human interest love
and because of it's essential realism
viciousness and dishonor receive the
authors unbiased attention. AS a sat
isfying drama, Fit to Win" leave
nothing to be desired.
It is interesting to note that the
picture has been officially viewed by
representatives of the French and the
British governments and was used by
General Pershing in France and with
our troops in Russia. Unqualified en-
dorsement has been attended in every
instance The picture has heen trans
lated into French.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Three of
the four battleshipS which helped to
destroy the Spanish fleet OF Santiago
in 1898-the Indiana, Massachusetts,
and Iowa-are to be placed out of
commission. the Navy department an
nounced today, and their names re-
assigned to new superdreadn0ughts
For historical ond other reasons, how.
ever the fourth ship. the Oregon,
which circled South America in order
to be in the battle against Cerevera's
squadron, will retain her name, and
will continue serving with the Pacific
fleet.
AS the Indiana, Massachusetts, and
Iowa probably never again will be
placed In active service. they will be
designated as coast battleships Nos.
IL and A." and probably will be sold
for scrap or used as targets.
The name Indiana will be assigned
to battleship No. SO, authorized with
nine others in 1916, and which is to
be built at the New York navy yard.
The names Massachusetts and Iowa
will be given to battleships Nos. 50
and 81, bids for the construction of
which will be opened by the Navy de.

The Indiana, Massachusetts, and Ore
gon were the first big gun battleships
of the navy. and were built from the
same design. They were completed
more than 20 years ago. The Iowa,
completed in 1897. had much greater
cruising radius than the other vessels.

WEATHER AND PLANS
FOR CLEANUP WEEK
KEEP DILLON BUSY

Weather conditions. changing and
installing equipment in factories OF
the city, the re-wiring of alley light
systems north and south of A street
in the business district, and the eff
fort to clean the city's ornamental
lights for clean A up week, have made
the city light plant force very busy.
said Superintendent James P. Dillon.
Friday.
Two little sticks, about two inches
long and as big around as pencil,
which came in with the muddy water
of the. intake. nearly caused havoc
when they got into relief valve on
the big turbine. Thursday, said Dillon.
The turbine had to be stopped while
the sticks were extracted, and the
entire load was thrown on engines
which were not big enough. This
caused the lights to flicker several
times over town.
The new dam on which work will
be started as soon as the water will
permit. will cut out all this trouble,
said Dillon, as it will lead the water
through screens which will hold out
trash.

this system the air is largely forced

the use of the truck would not make

ers within reach by motor truck of
large cities where better prices obtain
for live stock and possibly grain might
be justified in buying truck. but even
in such cases it is probable that hiring

owner would be more economical.
With regard to truck farms, the stua-
ton is somewhat different. Where
produce is taken to market on an
average of two or three times week
throughout the year the use of a truck
makes it possible to get on with fewer
horses. This makes the use of truck
more desirable than on general farms.
