A Chorus of Mixed Voices

A big chorus Of mixed voices is be-
ing organized by Miss Gertrude Conn,
who made such distinct success as
director of the St. Cecilia Chorus last
year. 1t is felt that still larger and
better results may be obtained, how,
ever, by the combination Of mems and
women's voices. With this object in
view Miss Conn will be glad to hear
from any singer, man or woman, who
will enjoy doing first class choral work
under a capable director.
Neither is the social side of the
chorus to be sighted. Once month
after the rehearsal, the chorus will
enjoy jolly get together time, when
dancing and good eats will be the or
der of the evening. Along with the
concerts which will be given in Feb
ruary and May, it is planned to give
at least two big public dances during
the season, which will be sponsored
by the chorus. The particulars as
to the details of the chorus work may
be obtained from Miss Conn, the dir

ABOUT NAVY SHELLS

The average layman is accustomed
to shells. particularly along the sandy
sea beaches and tho inland lakes and
rivers. yet he very seldom comes
across shells as large as those pic
tured above A good idea OF their
size may be gained by comparing
them with the men at the top of the
picture
These shells are for the great guns
Of the overwhelmingly Oklahoma,
one OF our largest and latest addi-
tions to the great gun navy" And

evolution of warships, the big guns

ALL BOW TO SUPERSTITION
AZ Least, Few Of the Fair Sex Have
Not Firm Belief In Marriage
- Charms.

In the great Cave of the Winds. in
Colorado. a place visited each year
by scores of tourists. in one corner
the visitor is always impressed by a
curious thing that looks Ike a mat
tress and that turns out. on closer
acquaintance, to be an immense pile
OF hairpins. combs. barettes and hair
ornaments.
1t seems that there is superstition
afoet that every widow and unmarried
woman who leaves a hairpin or hair
ornament there will be married within
the year and, though most Of the
women who visit the cave laugh at the
story and look very incredulous, not a
few surreptitiously shake out an in
visible or two before leaving, "just
for luck"
Nor is this the only mute testimony
to the ever-feminine credullty and be-
lief IN marriage charms. At Ramona's
Wedding Place. also out West. is a
well, the bottom OF which CLEANS
bright with countless pennies and 9th
er coins. left there by passing visitors
who were told that tossing coin
down the well would bring them each
a husband within q year. So the pen
MES accumulated. and already there
is small fortune lying at the bottom
of Ramona's well.
Nor is this superstition of travel
ers the only evidence in the case. One
has only to see the Young girls (and
some of the old), waiting TO catch
the brides bouquet at wedding In
order to be the next bride, TO know
that they are all ready to test out any
husband-geftlng charm. And one may
look in vain for the single girl brave
enough to take the last piece" of
cake or candy on the plate and thus
run the risk of becoming an "old
maid. Record.

known that the slip of the Wood
pump has increased, but the exact
cause has not been ascertainsd.
The operating reports show that
the efficiency of the station IS
whole has decreased in later
years, and it is especially impcrS-
ant in these times of high fuel and
labor costs to discover and cor
rect such defects as exist
Another known defect is that
the condenser of tho Nordberg en-
CINE does not operate properly
and apparently is too small
There are two return tubular
boilers, sizes so and 125 horse

smaller boiler was condemned for

only at reduced pressure on ac-
count OF the thinness of the she'll.
The present boiler situation at
tho pumping station is very unsat-
isfactory. TO say the least. There
is no reserve boiler capacity; the
present boiler is not large enough
to operate both pumps at once;
the small boiler, even if retubed,
could not carry enough steam to
operate the large pump, and ow-
ing to the absence of separate
steam lines, both pumps cannot
be operated at the same time by
separate boilres. An increased
boiler capacity should be provided
at once.

monly known to the civilian. Big
guns have riding in their bores jus.
the same. as rifie--we call them
lands and grooves. Since the shells
fired by these monster guns are made
OF steel there must be some way to
keep them from tumbling; a way TO
give them a rotating start. This is
overcome by the rotating band" a
copper strip around the base of the
she'll which is slightly higher than
,ho she'll itself The copper grips the
rifling in the bore and the desired
wllirl is accomplished.
The combined broadside fire from
the Constitution, which licked the
Guerrero in the war OF 1872 with her
81 guns was about $50 pounds. the
new battle cruiser of the same name
will fire three times as much steel at
one single shot The new super
dreadnaughts will have twelve of this
type of gun and a single salvo from
them will weight 24,192 pounds. This,
of course, does not include her small
or calibre guns. 1t takes 72O pounds
of smokeless powder to fire these
monster projectiles or 40 pounds more
powder to fire a single she'll from the
new guns than the combined weight
of the broadside fire of the old Con-
stitution. Some shells!

absurd" says Andre Tridon, New
York psychoanalyst. according to the
Evening Sun of that city. "Every
branch of your complex. busy organ
ism is on the job "a hours a day. Your
heart never rests; neither do your
lungs nor liver nor brain cells. But
you do need to dream. because only so
can the ordinary man relieve all his
urges"
Napoleon Bonaparte had things all
his own way for a spell, and just so
long he guided the worlds destiny In
no sleepy style without being abed
more than two hours night. But
when the world baked at gratifying

up his ego urge In st. Helena, he slept
ten hours day. That is, he dreamed
that long daily.
TO sleep is to dream, whether or not
you remember anything about it next

an amazing speed rate, all the while
you're unconscious, and every dream
acts out, dramatizes, one of your
wishes, gratifies an urge.
