a busy man before and during the
American participation in the war.
The trouble seems to be that in some
cases his energies were m~isdirected.
That is the opinion of one of the naval
officers who testified recently at the
hearing before the. senate committee
which is now in progress. That Off
Ger says that Mr.. Daniels was so busy
with details that it was difficult to
get him to- devote his attention to
matters of greater importance. ~
Ihat seems to be a fair criticism,
justified by what the public has been
able to observe of MI. Daniels activi-
ties. So far as we have seen, nobody
mas questioned, the patriotism of Mr..
Daniels. He is a loyal American.
Doubtless he wished the. country to
have a good navy and doubtless he
Wlshed his country to be successful in
the war. But quite evidently he was
not cut out for a great executive posi-
ton. He consumed his time and wore
out his energy fussing over trifles,
and forgot the essentials. He became

no man could answer. But there was

AMERICAN OF CLEAR VISION
John Willis GrIffiths RevoIutionized the
Science of Merchant Shipbuilding
and Naval Architecture.

John Willis Griffiths was the man
who revolutionized the science of mer-
chant shipbuilding and naval archk
lecture. In 1S41 he appeared before
the American institute in New York
and proposed a model for a new ship.
He succeeded in interesting William
Aspinwall, one of New York's China
trade princes, who in 1912 signed
contract to build a ship of $50 tons
according to Griffiths' designing.
The ship was completed in January,
1915, and named the Rainbow The
Rainbow sailed for China in Febru
ary, and was back home again in Sep
TENDER to reward her owners with 200
per cent over what she had cost.
John Willis Griffiths was born in
New York in 1909, and died there
in 1882. He was the inventor Of the
trap style Of hull construction; the
builder Of the United States steamship
Princeton. the first twin screw ocean
going vessel, and was the inventor
Of the process of bending ship tim

ished privately treatise on naval

heep-Raisinu Old Industry.

Sheep raising is perhaps the oldest
of all industries, for it was practiced
even before agriculture. Wool is a
product of cultivation or domestfca-
ton, for there are no wild animals
which closely resemble the wool-bear-
ing sheep, Floyd w. Parsons, in the
Saturday Evening Post. says that with
the discovery that cloth could be made
from wool came an effort to improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
full in this pursuit, and their endeav-
ors along this line resulted in develop
ing a fleece of great fineness. After the
conquest of the Iberian peninsula,
Roman sheep were introduced into
Spain, where they so greatly improved
the native flocks that even during
Roman supremacy Spanish wool led
the worlds markets, a prestige held for
many centuries.
