The senate subcommittee will get nowhere in it's

by taking the testimony college professors who
quire their information their Libraries
There was for instance Prof Harper, of the Uni

planning the development OF tho bolshevik theory"
added the assertion that there had been much msep
resentation OF Russia in the American press. but

Pay him promptly each week for your

all the papers he uses. If you do not pay him
he is not only short his profit, but also the
price of the paper.
The boy gets commission for all new sub

The Melting Pot

Crowds surged in and out OF the
stores in South Bends business dis
trict all day Thursday. 1t was Dol
lar day" and the great impulse Of
the crowds was TO take advantage
Of the bargains being offered at the
various stores throughout the city.
In one store there was an unusual
crowd, and the bargains offered were
Of the exceptional sort to be found
everywheEe in the business district
One could buy a suit OF clothes for
stated sum, and by the payment OF
an additional dollar. duplicate the
article for which stated sum was
asked.
In this particular store were be-
ing offered beautiful green colored
silk underskirts at an exceptional
bargain. One rotund lady admired
these bargains in particular, but try
as she would, she could not find one
that would fit her They were all
too small around the waste line.
After trying on all the green col
ored underskirts on the bargain
counter. the rOtund lady left the
store, but she returned a short time
later, forcing her way through the
throngs that crowded the aisle, and
made a purchase.
She bought one of the beautiful
understands anyhow. She made the
purchase. however. from another of
the clerks than the one with whom
she had been negotiating few mo-
ments before.
AS she was leaving the store she
met the clerk with whom she had
tried to find an underskirt that would
fit her.
II bought one of those skirts" she
told the clerk gleefully.
why did. you buy one Of them
when none of them would fit your"
inquired the clerk.
I'm going to make a beautiful
lamp shade out Of it," the lady re-
piled, as she happily left the store.
In another store they were selling
beautiful. clinging dresses at a bar
gain. A tall. graceful young lady was
working her way through the
crowds trying to get to the counter
Ell
lady was accosted by a large lady
who was holding at arms length one
of the beautiful clinging dresses, ana
gazing at it with admiring eyes.
Don't you think that this would
look like fine on my Lena?" asked
the large lady Of the tall. graceful

ELECTRICITY IS BOSS
ON LATEST D. S.
BA1TLESH|P
SAVES THIRTY PER CENT OF
FUEL AT CRUISING
SPEED

SAN FRANCISCO. Eoy. 2i--rhe
superdreadnought California, which
was launched at Mart Island near
here yesterday, is a vertaDie cleo
trio ship.
Besides supplying her driving
power, electricity is used 10 holst
the ammunition. rotate the tlrrets,
operate the 14-inch guns, steer the
ship, raise and lower the anchor,
pump fresh and salt water, operate
the machinery in the machine shop,
carpenter shop and printing estab-
lishment, supply fresh air for ven
t~ilation, raise and lower the boats,
operate the refrigerating plant, oper-
ate the searchlights and radio equip
ments. In the kitchen electricity
peels the potatoes, washes the
dishes, makes the ice cream, grinds
the meat, mixes the dough, cuts the
butter and in many other ways
lightens the labors of the sailor
lads.
The chief advantage of electric
drive for a battleship is fuel econ
omy. Fuel economy is far more i'm
portant aboard ship than ashore,
naval officers point out, for a ship
must carry her own fuel, and the
longer a ships fuel will last, the
greater her radius of action. The
greatest saving occurs at the usual
cruising speed Of about Is knots. AS
compared with the battleships driv-
en- by turbines directly coupled to
the propellers, 1t is estimated that
the California will save, while cruis-
ing, about 80 per cent of her fuel.
This is because both the turbines
and the %propellers can rotate at
their best and most economical
speed, which, 1t is commended, is
often impossible when steam is used
to drive the screws.
Energy to operate the great bat
tleship is taken aboard in the form
Of crude oil. This is burned under
boilers hat develop the steam power
which in turn generates electric
power.
The nozzles underneath the boil
ers are adjusted to mix the air with
the oil so that the oil will burn COM
pletely without smoke. However,
il it is desired to throw a smoke
screen, by merely increasing the oil
supply inky blackness will vomit
from the Califoriia's single smoke
stack.
From each of the two generators,
large copper cables convey the cleo
tricity to the control board. The
control board is equipped with
levers and handles whereby the en-
gineers of the California will control
the electrical propelling machinery.
The navigating office sends word by
loud speaking telephones or cleo
erical indicators. 'One engineer

GREAT AMOUNT OF RECON.
STRUCTION WORK STILL 4
TO BE DONE

BELGRADE, Nov. 2f.-Belgrade
remains today as the Germans and
Austrians left it-shell-shattered,
~bomb-torn and d~esolate. Owing to
lack Of materials. money and labor,
no steps have been taken by the
authorities to restore the scores of
residences, public buildings and
other property that fell under the
enemy bombardment. Nothing has
reen done TO repair even the royal
palace, which, windowIess. Scared
ard neglected, looks like a great
empty barrack.
The Serbian capital has a gloomy.
depressing air about it, and this
atmosphere is shared to some ex-
tent by the people, who go about
with sombre faces. Belgrade never
itself. There are few cafes.
restaurants. theaters, cinemas, or
rlaces of diversion or entertainment
iii belgrade. At night the city has
all the stiffness and repose of a
tomb. 1t may be, quite naturally,
that the country is still mourning
it's losses, for it has been continu-
ously at war for eve years.
The retail stores display only
scanty stocks. Some of them are
closed entirely. Cheap articles of
and tinsel find their way from Aus
tria and Germany. while perfumes
of all kinds are high in price. The
Serbian franc has fallen to low pur-
chasing value.
As in most war-afflicted coun-
tries there is a tremendous amount
of reconstruction work to be one in
Serbia. Broken bridges, shattered
railways, ruined factories and de-
ssroyed machinery will have to be
replaced. Serbians a the material
and. to some extent, the money and
labor, will have to come from the
outside. for Serbia, strained and
strs ightened by seven years of war,
is almost destitute of the ean to
accomplish this task herself. She
is looking hopefully to the United
States to help her in this direction.
There is a constant plea for Ameri-
can engineers. business men and
materials.
