Alice's hair ribbon seems very short
these days to her thrifty mother. No
matter how fresh and dainty the dress
of little girl, If it is topped with n
soiled and wrinkled hair ribbon her
whole appearance is spoiled. In Sc
ries of thrift leaflets issued Jointly by
the United States department of ag-

ury, one of the directions which will
leave the fabric looking like new is
given for cleaning ribbons.
Spread the ribbon fiat on smooth.

with the hair is greasy and the stains

portion of the ribbon. Rinse the ribbon
by holding It stretched between the
hands and passing 1t through bowl
of clear. lukewarm water.
Do not wiring or crease. but dry by
spreading 1t out straight and fiat on

care should be taken with the edges
of the ribbon in order to make them

The experience of Mr.. E. ]. Tou-

on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: "I have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for

eight weeks. / could get only tenn

"This winter I was taken with

PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that

bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.

to America. Originally, it was
planned that the voyage should be
made by the R-33 also, but it was
decided that too much time would
be needed to remodel the sister
ship.
The R-34 was built in Inchinnan,
little village near Glasgow. In
size she rivals all but the very larg-
est ocean liners. Her length is $40
feet, her beam 70 feet and from the
bottom of her lowest gondola TO
the top of the gas bag, measures 70
feet Her measurements are very
closely those of the liner Adriatic
and if she was stood on end she
would overtop the famous Singer
building by u feet. Two million
cubic feet of hydrogen gas are i'm
prisoned in the enormous balloon.
Her resemblance to monstrous
fish is heightened by the fact that
she is painted silver color, proved
by experiment to be the most sue
cessful in resisting the action of the
sun in expanding the gas bag.
1000 Horsepower Engines.
The driving power of the airship
is supplied by five Sunbeam motors
with a total of 1000 horsepower,
sufficient to give a speed of close to
70 miles all hour in favorable
weather. To feed these motors the
airship carries between $500 and
5000 gallons of gasoline, weighing
sixteen tons and giving her cruis-
ing radius of 1900 nautical miles or
considerably more than the distance
between Europe and America and
return. Her lifting capacity is 50
tons, of which Fl IL tons is dis
chargeable weight, or weight which
can be disposed of from the ship.
Five gondolas are swung from the
gas Bag. connected by a 600-foot
platform. In these care there are
comfortable accommodations for
tie crew of thirty with sleeping
quarters for half that number. Ra-
diators on top of the motors supply
them with hot water and electric
stoves assure them of hot meals.
Communication with mother earth
is provided for by wireless equip
ment with receiving radius of 500

many OF the pilots were utilized with
British bombing squadrons.
The work of railway batteries, sup
piled, manned and equipped by the
United States Navy, is also described.
They operated the longest range and
most powerful artillery on the western
front and fired total of 1872 rounds
from their five guns, which proved
exceptionally accurate at long ranges.
The first shipment OF material arrived
at St. Nazaire on July 25, 1918, and
the first gun was at the firing point
thirty days later.
Piped Fuel OIL.
Another effort of the American
Navy about which very little has been
said in this country is the oil pipe line
laid from the Clyde to the Firth of
Forth. This work was decided upon
by reason OF the fuel oil requirements
of the Grand Fleet and the shortage
of shipping and was designed to shor-
ten the voyage of the tankers and
enable tAem to avoid the highly dan
gerous waters on the west coast of
Great Britain. Work on the line,
which was of eight inch pipe with a
capacity OF 100 tons OF fuel oil per
hour, was begun on July IL, 1918, and
the completed line passed a successful
test on November 9.
The success which attended the I'M
restricted submarine war and led in
the spring of 1917 to the introduce
ton of the convoy system is treated
in a chapter by Sir Norman A. Leslie
K. B. E. A calculation made at the
time showed that il the results at
tanned by the enemy in sinking mer-
chant tonnage during the last fort
night in April, 1917, were to continue
the end OF the war could be fixed with
arithmetical precision at no distant
date. The rate OF loss was such that
out of every 100 ocean going steam
ers which left the British Isles TWEEN
| ty-fite failed to return. The plan OF
assigning patrol craft to certain areas
had utterly failed, in fact, It probably
assisted the submarines in locating
/ the exact route likely to be followed
| by their prey. Embargoes on outward
| bound tonnage because Of submarines
reported in certain areas had become
of such frequent occurrence that they
amounted to the equivalent of q AZ
per cent. blockade of the coast.
The two main objections to the
adoption Of a system of conveying
were that it would result in delays to
shipping due to vessels having to wait
for convoy bound on the route they
were to follow, and second, that un-
trained merchant captains would be
unable to execute the required maneu-
vers in close formation. The delays
already imposed on shipping under the
cmbargoes then in force answered the
first objection, but the second seems
to have been waived by the Admiralty
authorities in their desperate effort &c
do something to meet the alarming
conditions.
AS events proved the second objec-
ton was based on an entirely faIlacioui
assumption Sir Norman Leslie dis.

sion. and if the careful analysis of
the Ndrdt Annual is TO be credited
even the original plans for the unre-
stricted submarine war were rather
the product of the Admiralty General
Staff than of the Imperial Naval De-
partment, of which he was the head
and which was charged with the up
keep of the fleet, as distinct from the
method of it's employment in war.
In this connection the editor of the
Annual says: "There is good ground
for believing that long before the bat
tia of Jutland the German High Seas
Fleet had surrendered it's functions, or
lad its functions surrendered for II
by its administrative chiefs, who had
ceased to regard it as an efficient
fighting machine to enforce Germany's
will. Toward the end of 1915 the Ad-
miralty Staff, asserting their indie.
pendence of the Imperial Navy De-
partment, seriously considered the
necessity and probable success of ar
unrestricted submarine campaign con-
Quoted against England and prose
cuted without any limitations of {
political nature.
in August OF that year they dis
cussed the question with a numbel
of bankers, industrialists and politica
economists. The result was the prep
aration Of a secret memorandum, tn,
arguments in which conveyed the i'm
/ preston that the chiefs of the AID
miralty Staff had already determined
to prosecute the submarine war in un
restricted form, and that they hoped
by basing their contention on eco
nomic and not on purely naval grounds
to convine the Emperor. the Imperia
Chancellor and the diplomatists Of tn.

certainty of favorable results in iso-
lating and starving England. In all
this argument the High Seas Fleet did
not figure.
'rHerr Won Bethmann- Hollweg re-
ceived the MEMORANDUM in February
1916, and asked Herr Helfferich, then
Minister of Finance, to give his opin-
ion on the proposals. The latter re-
garded the official findings as nom
conclusive on economic grounds. There
was no certainty that England would
break down under the pressure, and
the gravest doubt would exist as to the
effect of naval ruthlessness upon neu-
trails and especially upon the United
States. The original author of the
staff memorandum replied, developing
| the argument that the internal situa-
! ton of Germany was too serious tc
permit of half measures. The war
must be brought to an end If national
collapse was to be avoided, and with
that object the sharpest weapons must
be employed"
