Liberty Street, both of Paterson, were
found lying helpless in the street in
Clifton and were removed to General
Hospital N Passaic. 1t was said that
they too, had been drinking wood

Copeland Calls Conference
Health Commissioner Copeland said
he had called a conference yesterday
of the officials Of his department with
a view to revisin, tho Sanitary Code
so that wood alcohol would have to
be sold under another name-such as
wood acid or mentholnted spirits. At
the present time, he said, any one found
to be selling wood alcohol as bever-
age could, under the Sanitary Code, be
fined $500 and sentenced to one year
in the penitentiary.

2l0 Belmont Avenue, Newark, was ar

Eleven men were under detention here

Mix or of Federal authorities in the
course of inquiry into sales of wood

Hartford remained at thirteen, with
one at Meriden making the total in
Connecticut and Massachusetts seven

A Question Anssuered

To some people our rapid
growth from one small Office
twenty years ago to twelve to-
day seems almost miraculous.
But there are many reasons for
ulis, as we'll as our large number
ef/satistled clients.
Perhaps the most important is
that we give the combined services
Of oculist, optician and mechanic
sallup pder- roof"
Then. too, each member of our
staff is a specialist in his particular
line.
We use the latest and most sci
entifc equipment in all our easily
accessible Offices.
Such specialized service insures
complete satisfaction with the eye
glasses as we'll as the moderate
cost.

Sign Posts

1920 brings us to another sign
post on the road of Time. Which
fork?
The one called "Extravagancc"
leads nowhere. It's trick of
old man H. c. L. If we take it
we help to keep him on his
throne another year.
The one labeled Thrift" is
short cut it leads to normal
conditions.
We believe the public can have
what it wants-if it wants high
prices, they can be ENCOURAGED
by extravaganza; if it wants nor
NAL prices. thrift is the way.
The wheels of industry will
not turn out high-priced luxuries
instead OF necessit;es--if there
is no market for the luxuries.
Paramount Shops are founded
on firm belief in thriit-good
merchandise at moderate prices.
Guaranteed shirts at $500 foy

GIANT DREADNAUCHT
TAKES WATER TODAY
IN MARE ISLAND YARD
"'California' Greatest Ship of
the United States; Every
thing Electrical
(By United Press.)

Mare Island, Calf, Nov. 90
Americas greatest superdreadnaught
the California represents the last
day.
Electrically driven, and said to be
proof against torpedoes and mines,
the California represents the last
word in naval perfection. She car
ries the greatest armament OF any
vessel in the world.
Mrs. Randolph Zane, who died OF
wounds received in France, christen-
ed the vessel. She is the daughter
of Gov. Stephens.
The California has twelve 14-inch
guns, four submerged torpedo tubes.
Is two-inch rapid fire guns, four g.
pounds, two 1-pounders, four 3-inch
anti-aircraft guns and other guns OF
small caliber.
The ship will be manned by L.
AO22 men and So officers.
J The keel of the California was laid
out October Is, 1916, but during the
war, work was diverted to smaller
vessels to combat submarines. The
work was rapidly completed after
fighting ceased.
The dimensions of the ship are:
Length over all, 624 feet; breadth,
SO feet; depth, At feet; 2 inches;
mean draught, 80 feet inches; dis
placement, $4,000 tons. She will
make Fl knots and has normal fuel
capacity Of 1900 tons.
The California is veritable elec-
trical ship. From firing of guns to
ventilation, all is done electrically.
Her protection is said by naval ex-
perts to approximate 80 per cent over
the best of pre-war battleships.

Insects That Walk on Water.

Insects that walk on the water by
means Of pneumatic floats are the
familiar spider and the pond skater.
The pond skater really walks on
pneumatic floats. There are tiny hairs
on the feet of this insect, so fine that
they cannot be seen, that are arranged
to collect air. The amount collected
in and about these hairs is sufficient
to allow the insects to walk or float
on the surface Of the water. As each
foot is put down it forms q cupllke de-
preston, or tiny pit, In the water. The
foot does not sink, because the air
bubble that has been formed Is too
light to let it. A fine covering Of hair
protects the water spider, too, and even
II it Is submerged in the water it is
never really wet; the hair keeps lay
er of air between its body and the
water. It looks like a white pearl
when below the surface.

Fish Has Horns.

Some very peculiar fish have been
caught in a pool on the Conley farm,
near Osceola, Ia, and one Of them is
now on display in a store window
there. Despite the fact that hundreds
have examined the fish no one can
identify it. 1t is four inches long and
in color and shape resembles catfish.
1t has gills and fms on the top of lite
tail. It also has horns on it's head
and four legs similar to frog.
