the loading and unloading simple, as

traffic to and from Baltimore and the
Shore, both from automobile and 9th

HB. Messenger, of fredericksburg,
who is a strong advocate of either a

business man of the Eastern Shore,
to save time in his dealings with
Baltimore and how a few minutes

he was unable to get here until half
an hour after the time set and that
he was forced to remain in the city

This is the sort Of thing, he said,
which has tended to discourage deal
ing with Baltimore and which has
served to drive trade to Philadelphia,
where there is at least direct railroad

Description OF The "Y" Gun

The famous Navy "Y" gun OF
throwing depth charges is half the
story of the Submarine defense. The
other half is the 500 pounds Naval
Mine. The first idea of dropping
depth charges on subs originated in
a conference of British Naval Off
GERS, when some one remarked, "A
submarine passed directly under the
ship, and it's outline could be seen
clearly from the bridge" The Ad-
miral replied, why didn't you drop
something On him?" From that
idea was developed the depth charge,
an "Ash Can" which would explode
by water pressure, when submerged
to a certain depth.
The Navy "Y" Gun and depth
charge, as developed by the Ameri-
cans, consists of a 140O pound cast
iron gun with two barrels set at a 45
degree elevation, and the base of the
gun securely hoited etU the deck of d
ship so that: one of the barrels point
ed to- oeach Side. The breech block is
Somewhat similar to that of the
three inch field piece. A cartridge
similar, to a I one-pounder charge
=without the shell is used to throw
two of the 800 pound depth charges,
which are held in the "Y" gun bar
rels by carriers that fit, in the gun
like a piston in a cylinder. The idea
is to throw the depth charges about
$50 feet away from the side of the
ship in case the submarine is not
directly under the ship.
When the Sub is sighted, the ship
runs over the spot at full speed,
rolls a 800 pound depth charge OF
TINT over the stern, then after going
about $50 feet, the "Y" gun is fired,
throwing a bomb out on each side or
beam, then after going another $50
feet, another bomb is rolled over the
stern, making a diamond shaped
Pattern" which covers more than
an acre of water.

DON'T WANT ANY CHANGE
SMALLER THAN QUARTER
Nenana Commercial Club, of Sew
ard, Alaska, Thinks Introduction
Of Small Coins Would Sacrifice
SeIf-Respect.

Seward, Alaska, Aug. 21.--The
question of the admission of 5 and
1O-cent coins to circulation caused
near-split of the Nenana Commercial
Club last week. Those favoring the
use of the little coins argued that
new conditions created by the war
could be properly met only by the
introduction of a smaller coin than
the 25-cent piece. Merchants who
feel compelled to increase prices find
it impracticable in many cases.
For example, a 10-cent or 15-cent
magazine or a 10-cent cut of chew
iEg tobacco has always sold for a
quarter. When SO cents was the
Smallest coin in circulation the guam
tity was larger. Where a prize of
10 cents or even 20 cents is printed
on an article the public will not pay
SO cents, but expect to pay 25 cents.
The movie show has overcome the
war tax difficulty by selling a bunch
OF tickets of admission large enough
to adjust the difference made by the
tax. These are good for later shows.
Oldtimers in the club without eX-
ception opposed the proposed innova
tion, claiming that man cannot pay
or accept a smaller coin than 25
cents without sacrificing his self-re-
|spect, and the sacrifice Of self-re-
'spect and thus cheaper the comnu
nifty would be too gerat a price TO
pay for the alleged advantages
from the use of smaller coins; al
though the fear was expressed by
many that Central Alaska cannot
hope to exclude the small coins for
a much longer period, as they are
already in pretty general use along
the coast.
Further consideration of the mat
ter was Indefinitely postponed

MAN WITH STORE OF

That is, He's Going to Leave Prop
| erty Which Can't be Ltquidated
And May Cause Real Trouble For
His Heirs.
| Whoever first said money was the
root of all evil didn't know what he
was talking about. At least, he
didn't have to deal with the present
day liquor question. Money may be
the trunk and branches of evil, but
the real root, we'll, liquor wins. in a
walk. It isn't enough that "a man
can't drop into his faVorite place
nowadays and get his favorite drink.
He can't even die in peace, when it
comes to the liquor question. l.
Time was when a man with a fam
| lily could work hard and lay UP a few
dollars, keep up premiums on his
| life insurance, and die happy-and
! his heirs wouldn't have any perplex-
| ing problems thrust upon them with
his demise. But those good old days
are gone. Now, when man dies,
especially if he is one of those thrift
| ty, farsighted individuals, who be-
| lieve in preparing for a ''rainy day.
and stocks up wines and Whiskies in
the latter part of June, his family
has a job figuring what to do with
the stuff.
It's this way. When the wise men
who framed the prohibition laws
were doing their bit to make the
world safe for misery and discomfort,
they forgot all about the possibility
of man dying. Funny, they should
have forgotten such a small thing as
a man dying, but they did. 1t was
all right for the head of the family
to lay in a stock of liquor-for use
in case of sickness. But if the sick
ness proved fatal and said head of
the family passed on to that exist
ence that Sir A. Conan Doyle, Sir
Oliver Lodge, and other notables be-
lieve awaits theln-then the rest OF
the family was in anything but a
heaven of a fix. They have the liq-
uor, they couldn't drink it all UP
(presuming that the head of the
family was the only drinking man
in the house,, they couldn't turn II
into cash. There was only one
thing they could, or can, do with it.
That's save it.
When it comes to saving liquor, it
isn't much fun. John Barleycorn
hasn't been dead long enough to
place any of his remains in the GU
rio case of the museum. 1t isn't like
an Egyptian mummy-it isn't a relic
of the dark ages, much as the prohi-
bitionists would like to class it with
such antedeluvian curiosit1es. It's
very real, and it's unnecessary as an
inheritance. One never thinks of in
heriting a quart of swine or a bottle
of whisky.
No one ever thinks of including
the stuff to a codicil to his -Will, and
yet it is property that must be dis
posed of, and, unlike most property,
cannot be turned into cash.. So the
only solution to the problem is to
die in peace and let your heirs Wor-
ry over it. If there are any grown
boys in the family, it probably will
not be such a source of worry any
way.
Lawyers, watch out for the rush.
Maybe some one may call on you to-
day to solve such a problem.-Balti-

Ironing Day Suggestions

A good combination to keep near
the ironing board ON ironing day is a
small dish of peroxide, another of
cornmeal, a soft white cloth and
clean toothbrush and cake of white
soap with a bowl of warm water.
When piece of clothing is scorched.
rub the sop with the white cloth Dip
ped in peroxide.
If a spot is found on something
starched, where the stiffness would
me affected by water, rub cornmeal
over it with the brush. If the spot
occurs where it will not be hurt by
water, the brush, dipped in water and
rubbed on the soap, will remove the
spot
Another suggestion for the same
day is to keep handy to the ironing
board a pencil and pad upon which to
jot down the needs of various ar
ticles of clothing for mending day.
For instance, il a waist neds one
button, and a few stitches on the
cuff, write waist, one button, repair
cuff.
AS such things are noted, the
articles should be laid in separate
pile, with the paper attached. When
mending day comes the time ordinar-
lily lost in once more examining the
clothes to find what is needed. is
gained by glance at the paper.

fish because of the unpleasant doors
that usually cling to the pan which
has been used. Soda and water is
often used, but If the frying pan is
secured out with salt and hot water,
the fishy smell is quickly dispelled.
Stains caused by heated dishes on
polished tables can be removed by
the application of a thin paste made
of salad oil and salt: spread it on the
marked place and leave for an hour
or more. Then rub off with a soft
cloth.
When using The whites of eggs
only in the preparation of a dish,
slide the yolks into a bowl without
breaking them, and put cold water on
them. They will keep for several
days and may be used in cooking as
we'll as if they came from newly
broken shells.
To remove scorch marks, dip in
soap suds, and place in the sun. If
the fbers are not much injured, dip
in saturated solution f borax and
then rinse.
