its own weapons. It was designed to
depend rather upon its maneuvering
qualities, its powerful light guns and
a new American invention for direct
ing its fire at unseen objects.
Its crew, including operating and
fighting complement, numbers approx
imately 80 men. To the, observer, the
first impression Of the Eagle boat Is
one Of wonder that craft so narrow
an possess buoyancy sufficient to keep
it upright in heavy seas. Despite its
length of more than an average city
block, the craft has beam of, only 25
feet, and draws when fully equipped
less than ten feet of water. Is
It's seaworthiness has been demon
strated in the official trials, according
to reports to the navy department.
While it is admitted the Eagle does
not make the speed Of the average
destroyer, it is claimed that 1t can out
distance most submarines and the
razor-like edge Of the bow silently
but eloquently tells what would have
happened had it come in contact with
the German underSea pirate.
Vessel Is Compact.
Built with utility as its prime pur-
pose, seemingly not an inch Of space
Is wasted in the fitting Of the vessel,
and not an ounce of superfuous
weight enters its construction. When
dropped into the water ready for the
installation Of its engines, guns. etc.,
less than 200 tons Of material have
been riveted together to shape the
Eagle boat.
The plates that form the shell OF
the submarine chasers vary in thick
ness from one-fourth to three-eighths
inch, and not a single forging or
rolled beam enters their makeup.
Everything is pressed from sheet
metal, cold, by means of machinery
that cuts every piece to an exact pat
tern, punches rivet holes and bends
the interior part to required shape.

topped by the pilot-house, with radio
quarters, and above all the coming
tower, with the crows nest at the
highest point. Except for this super
structure, the deck of the Eagle car,

CONCRETE NOSE 8
ON EAGLE BOATS

Detroit, Mich.-A long, narrow
wedge, with a steel-incased nose of
solid concrete, tapered to a knifelike
edge, forming considerable part of
its total length Of 204 feet, and de-
clared to be capable of crushing any
submarine is the Eagle, de-
signed originally to help rid the seas
Of the menace of the German U-boats.
Contrary to popular belief, the
Eagle is not motorboat, but an oils
burning, steam turbine-driven craft
with cruising radius of 5000 miles.
The Eagle is not thing of beauty |;
beauty was not contemplated in its
construction. 1t is long, gaunt

crete nose.
Another popular impression that has
been shattered is an idea that the
Eagle boat Is equipped with torpedo
tubes. The submarine chaser was
not intended to combat the major in

Beware of Stocking Bank

Tarentum, Pa.-Grocers who feared
thieves and had little faith in their
strong boxes were sometimes known
to hide their receipts overnight in the
beans, but it took local man to dis
close that dry goods merchants some
times use stockings for the purpose.
AS usual, the stocking as a bank
proved failure. The store doors
were thoughtlessly opened too early
one day recently and a customer made
away with a real Christmas stocking

London.-Britain conquered the

pelins. This was May 81, 1915, and
until the explosive bullet came into
defense work the Germans came over
in their rigid gas bags as their pleas
ure dictated. The British had no
Zeppelins then for counterattack and
the airplanes they possessed were
helpless, because they could not fly
high enough quickly enough.
On one occasion when Zeppelins
were above the city British aviators,
as usual, went up to engage them.
But the British flyers could only at
tain $1,000 feet altitude. There they
sat, looking up at the monsters far
above them, the machine guns of the
,airplanes being as useless as toy pis-
tolls. That is the real reason why
Britain built fast, high-climbing air.
planes. She had to outdo the Zepps.
She won, soon having airplanes that
could reach 10000 feet or more, above
which distance Zeppelins could not
work effectively. These high-climbing
fighting planes, together with the ex-
plosive and incendiary bullets, made
England too hot for the airing Of a
Zepp.
+, The leader of the Zeppelin raids on
London was Commander Peter
Strasser, who had unbounded hatred
for England. He had an iron nerve
and in Germany was regarded as an
authority on air raids against Eng
land. He met his death on August 4.

Cheese Mask Stops "Flu."

Marion. O.-Hearing that the police
would allow no one in the downtown
district who was not wearing a
"cheese-cloth" mask, the nine-year-old
son of G. T. Zachman, president Of the
Y. NJ. G. A. here, smeared a piece of
muslin with Camembert, cut eye and
nose holes in it and proudly paraded
to the Y, where he wanted to see his
father. He didn't catch the "fu."
