British Capital Will
Have New Garden City
Suburb Within a Year

LONDON, Oct. 3. - London is to
have a new garden city suburb. to be
the first of a series Of such satellites
to suck away London's over-popu-
lation.
This garden city will house 10000
persons. be independent and self-sup-
porting so far as food is concerned,
and be an actually in some four
years.
The project is backed by the gov
eminent. Ultimately it is hoped to
have a ring of such cities around Lon
don, say, within % minutes train
service.
Building operations will begin next
year. Some 1000 acres will be re-
quired for the new community, $500
OF which will be devoted to intensive
agriculture within the suburbs limits.
Small inductries will be fostered.
The whole idea is to prevent Lon
don from growing larger. London to-
day is tOp-heavy, from whatever angle

ON WHAT CLASS OF VESSEL DID YOUR
SON serve? M'NEELy Identifies EN-

Editors Note: Do you know what
is meant by the strange technlca!
terms which many Richmond boys
have brought home from their adven-
lures in the navy? Do you know the
difference between destroyer and a
torpedo boat? Richmond has an eX-
pert in the person Of Naval Recruiter
McNeely, and he has written the fol
lowing article on the classes of vessels
in the American na-y)
BY r. E. M'NEELY
Vessels of the Navy are c!assed as
battleships first line; battleships sec
Ond line; armored cruisers; cruisers
first. second and third class; gun
boats; monitors; torpedo boat de-
stroyers; torpedo boats; submarines
and auXiliaries.
First rate vessels are men of war
of 5000 tons and above; second rate
are men of war Of 1000 to 5000 tons
converted and auxiliary vessels of
5000 tons and above, except GOLFERS
and other vessels constructed or
equipped for special purposes; third
rate are men Of war 900 to a 900 tons,
converted and auxiliary vessels 1000
to 5000 tons, GOLFERS, refrigerating
hospital ships and other vessels con
structed or equipped for special pur-
poses, of 1000 tons and above; fourth
rate are all other rated vessels. Tor
pedO boat destToyers, torpedo boats,
submarines, torpedo or submarine ten
ders while so acting, tugs, sailing
ships, and stationery receiving ships
are not rated.
70 81
Battleships are vessels supposed tC
be able to fight any vessel anywhere
The older type of battIeship varies
from II 900 to 10000 tons in displace
ment and generally speaking, carries
four Il or 10 inch guns mounted in
pairs in turrets forward and aft; from
II to 16 guns Of intermediate calibre
and from 20 to 80 small secondary
guns.
The authorization in 1906 Of the
dreadnaught "DelaWare" marked q
revolution in battleship design for ou1
Navy. Since then vessels have varied
from 10000 tons to $4,000 tons dis
placement. The "all-big-gun" feature
is the important consideration in this
type Of battleship. The vessels carry
from eight to twelve y inch or IA
inch guns mounted two or three in a
turret and all turrets on the center
line; and 16 or more secondary bat.
terry guns Of 5 or 6 inch caliber for the
purpose Of torpedo defense.
Battleships carry heavy armor on

tons. They have two steel cage masts.
Their speed and power are moderate
and their coal capacity is about 300
tons. The latest use no coal, but oil
for fuel
Like all other steel ships they have
cofferdams along the unarmored pOr-
tons of the waterline to protect the
ship from being flooded if hit by a
shell between wind and water
All machinery necessary to the ship
in action is installed below the pro-
tected or armOr deck nd behind the
thick waterline belt; the vessels are
fitted with an extensive system Of
Watertight compartments and With q
complete double bottom. All the later
type carry underwater torpedo tubes
Battleships of less than 10 years Of
age are classed as of the first line,
those of greater age are of the second
line.
Not So Powerful.
ArmOred cruisers are vessels not so
powerful as battleships, combining
high speed and considerable offensive
and defensive power. They are about
$4,000 tons displacement with a speed
of 20 to 26 knots. They carry guns of
a caliber not greater than 10 inch and
are not SO heavily armored as battle
ships.
In other words their gain in speed
over battleships is at the expense of
their protection. They have moder-
ate armOr on turrets and barbettes,
light water line armor with a heavy
protective deck and large coal capac-
ity. They have one or more military
masts.
Cruisers are vessels of from 1000
to 10000 tons, divided into three
classes according to their displace-
h2ent. They have no armOr except on
turrets and barbettes-Which is rarely
carried on that class-a complete pro-
tective deck, varying coal capacity,
numerous Intermediate and secondary

guns and one or more masts either
military or for carrying sail.
Are Unarmored.
Gun boats are light unarmored and
unprotected vessels of less than 1000
tons. They are so variable in size and
type that they are difficult to describe.
They generally have a fairly good
speed good coal capacity, moderate
battery and sail either for steadying or
for auxiliary propulsion.
Torpedo boats and destroyers vary
In tonnage, torpedo boats from SO to
800 tons, destroyers from 400 to 400
tons. They are entirely unarmored:
they have very high speed and very
poor coal capacity. The latest de-
stroyers use nothing but oil for fuel
They carry four double or triple tor
pedo tubes and a number Of second
airy guns. They are usually fitted
with one signal pole and the latest de-
stroyers carry 4inch guns.
Monitors are vessels of moderate
displacement, 5000 to 5000 tons, with
very low free board, waterline heavily
armored, armored deck, very poor coal
capacity, low speed and one military
mast. The battery generally consists
OF one or two pairs OF heavy guns
mounted in teurets, two or four inter
mediate guns, and a few secondary
guns. They make a very unsteady
gun platform at sea as they roll quick
ly; for this reason they are designed
entirely for harbor defense.
Auxiliaries consist Of transports,
supply ships, hospital shi<, fuel ships,
converted yachts and tugs also certain
special types Of ships such as ammu-
milton, torpedo practice, repair and
mine depot ships.
Sailing ships are of steel or wood.
They are used in the navy principally
for training purposes. With one or
two exceptions all Of the sailing yes
sells now in the service are ships OF
the old navy and are classed as "un-
serviceable for war PURPOSES"

P0SLAM HELPS
Skin over NIGHT

Poslam soothes, refreshes and heals
suffering skin, with never a possibility
OF harm. A brief experience with Pos
lam will prove its value. For instance:
apply little on some affected part
at night. In the morning, your own
eyes find evidence of it's healing work.
If the trouble was light-a piuple or
infamed spot-the chances are that it
has disappeard If a virulent erup-

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is a sign you have
been eating too much meat,
which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with baekache and
dull misery in the kidney region il
generally means that you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed and
ioggy. When your kidneys get slug
|gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; removing
all the body's urinous waste, else you
have backache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
Iyou have rheumatic twinges. The urine
lis cloudy, full of sediment, channels
Ioften get sore, water sealds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
clan at once or get from your pharna

take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys viii then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acids OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been nsed for genera
tions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.

If Mr.. Hoover is correct in his pre-

Vermont farmers to SOW as much wheat

as they did last year, but the other fell

great world shortage of wheat to give

Roland S. Morris, who celebrates his
10th birthday today, has been United
States. ambassador to Japan since 1917.
Mr.. Morris is a native of Olympia, Wash,
but he comes OF an old Philadelphia fam
lily that goes back to the founding of the
city. He graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania in 1886, and then entered
the university law school. Settling in
Philadelphia to practice he soon acquired
creditable clientele and at the same
time became influential in politics as a
reformer of the Democratic party work
with Vance Mccormick of Harrisburg.
1t was largely through Mr. Mccormick :
influence, as chairman of the Democratic
national campaign committee in 1916, that
Mr.. Morris was selected to succeed the
