SHIPS ARE BEST
O. Vessels Electrically Driven
Are Better Than Others.
Secretary Daniels Tells of Ex-
perience With the Warships.

Washington, Jan. AMERICAS
capital fighting ships of the future
will be superior to those of other
nations, because of their electrically
driven machinery, Secretary Daniels
told the house naval committee today
in disclosing remarkable results at
tanned by the new dreadnaught New
Mexico, equipped with the electric
drive, which is to be feature of all
the big ships authorized since 1916.
The New Mexico's turbo-electric ma
chinery was designed to develop &c.
500 horse power at full speed and to
give the ship a speed of p knots.
She actually developed more than
$1,000 horse power" Mr.. Daniels said,
speed of 21A knots and this when
running at a displacement of 1000
tons higher than her design called
for. If she had been tried at her
designed displacement, as is custom
airy with all new ships she would have
made 21.5 knots without any trouble
whatever; and what is still better she
could have kept up this speed as long
as her fuel lasted, for, like all dread
naughts, she is an oil burner and
there would be no reduction in speed
due to the necessity of cleaning fires,
ships after a run of four hours at top
speed"
The secretary said fuel economy at
cruising speed had been one of the
things sought in substituting electric
drive for the ordinary turbine equip
ment.
''And I am happy to say" he added,
that this requirement was also met.
AS a matter of fact, the New Mexico
will steam at ten konts on about 25
per cent less fuel than the best turbine
driven ship that preceded her.
HOn fhe whole 7 think the country
has cause to be proud of this achieve
ment in engineering not alone because
of the pronounced success in this par
ticular instance but because of the

OYSTER STEW AND BEANS.
I'm feeling sort of silly. or rather,
willy nilly. I don't know just exactly
what that means. But what 1 meant
to mention was that it's my intention
to write a rhyme on oyster stews and
beans. However, I'm so lazy, I know
you'll think I'm crazy if I should say
that beans were lovely food. So. after
quite some thinking and with my old
heart sinking, I'll just forget the beans
they're SO blame crude. Now that,
of course, has brought me to some
thing that has caught me. I don't
know what to say of oyster stew.
Some people think it dandy and some
prefer it to stick candy. So, what
on earth, ask you, can L do? Some
oysters are delicious, of some I'm quite
suspicious. I wonder why said that
It's dawgone near unlawful. Let's
