PRACTICE SEA BATTLE
' TO TEST SHIP TACTICS

A spectacular battle at sea with
the battleship Iowa making des-
perate efforts to escape the guns of
a fleet is planned by the Navy De-
partment, II was learned yestc rday.
The experiment is to show that a
skillfully directed battleship can
be kept out of a dangerous line of
fire. The I-wa will be steered by
radio from the battleship Ohio.
A shot that hits a battleship at
an angle of less than ten degrees
is hardly ever effective. AS the
battle progresses and shots fail
close to the iowa, her course will
be changed that she will receive ths
fire from Il less destructive angle

It consisted Of beef or mutton made
into a broth, thickened with brown
bread, which was then thoroughly
boiled after raisins, currants, prunes

though "Poor Richards Almanac"

city, gives recipe for making II,
while Brand, the popular antiquary,
tells how he partook Of 1t at Christ
mas dinner in the mansion Of an old
English gentleman in 1901, but 1t has

latter is yelled into obscurity. The
