THE MODERN
 BATTLESHR'

The super-dreadnought of today. a floating fortress d1splacfng thirty
 thousand tons of water and armed
 with gigantic guns capable of hurlfng
 projecti1e weighing tons for many
 miles, owes it's existence to the battle
 during the civil war between the
 Monitor and the Merrimac. This bat
 tie was fought off Hampton Roads, Va, and 1t heralded a new naval era of steam and steel.
 Europe was not slow to profit by Americas example and all the lead ing powers at once commenced to ex- pertinent with steel in the construc- ton of warships. The first naval battle in European waters between steel clad vessels occurred on July ! 20, 1866 This was the battle of Lissa fought by the Austrian and Italian fleets The outcome of the battle was I an Austrian victory.
 It was in 1866 that Prussia de. c1ared war on Austria Followed the
 whirlwind triumph of the house o1 Hohenzollern. By means of a prom
 ise of the redemption of a part o. Italia Irredenta" Prussia enlisted | Italy as an ally. A defeat was ad | rninistered to the Italians in the lat

THREW WALLET OUT OF
 TRAIN WINDOW

New Haven, July 20.-Banente An tonic, an immigrant who had S2, 900 in Italian bank notes stolen from his pocket at the local railroad station last Wednesday, has had the money returned to him by Chief Special Agent James R Mddahon of the New Haven road.
 Anton1o's loss was promptly report ed to the railroad detectives Wednes- day, and two officers went aboard his train. They carefully scrutinized the passengers and searched two suspects, but found no trace of the missing wallet or currency
 However, last Friday, John Hoff- man, a lamp and bridge tender at Mi anttc, reported that he had found a pocketbook containing foreign bank notes This was turned over to Chief Special Agent McCMahon and he notf- fled the authorities at Stafford Springs where Balcnte had gone later, to send the man to New Haven for his prop cray. He has just received it.
 It is believed by the railroad officers that the two men they searched were the guilty persons, but that they be- came frightened when they saw the detectives questioning other passen- gers in the train and threw the wallet out of the window before they were approached

highly trained troops Of Prussia they were at a disadvantage: Hence Paris finally fell and France was forced to sue for peace. By the terms of ca pitulation France lost Alsace-Lorrafne and paid ,1,ooo.ooo.ooo war in dempity.
 The war of 1870 and the recent great war offer interesting contrasts One is the speed of mobilization. In 1870 both sides began to mobilize July 15. It was not until IS days later, however, that the first skirnfsh occurred at sSaarbrueeken and met, until August was a pitched battle fought between entire armies.
 In 1914 mobilization began on the last day or so in July. The attacks on Liege on August 5, less than a week after mobilization began, was an engagement of greater magnitude then that of Wessenburg fought August 4, 1870, after each side had more than three weeks to prepare.
 Another difference lies in the fact that while in each case Germany was victorious at the start, in 1870 her victories were decisive, while in 1914 Joffe managed to keep his troops in hand and while forced back at first held his armies together and finally stopped the Germans at the Marne.

vensky was attacked by Admiral Togo in the straits between Korea and Japan. This action resulted in a com plete victory for Japan. Togo's bat tie fleet sunk six Russian battIeshfps, four cruisers and eleven other vessels while they captured two battle and three other craft. Four thousand Russian seamen were killed and 1882 were captured. The Japanese loss in ships were three torpedo boats and in men 116 killed and 538 wounded
 The greatest naval battle of steam and steel which ever took place was of course the engagement in 1916 be- tween the English Grand fleet and the German High Seas fleet off the Skagerack. This battle having been so recent, it is needless to go into de- tails regarding it.

FRANCo-PRuss1AN WAR.

On July 19. 1870, France declared
 war against Prussia, and the conflict which followed lasted about seven
 months, ending in the overthrow of the French Republic. For a long time the rivalry between France and Germany had been intense. Napoleon III. of France viewed the growth of a great power on his frontier with con- stantIy increasing trepitation. The decade succeeding the war saw great gains made by Prussia both in land and commercially. 1t was inevitable

A NEW MODE FOR PLEATING

Have you decided that you would like to use pleating in some manner for that new summer frock? Pieat- ing is really very fashionable this season, and you cannot go wrong fin using 1t to trim the new frock.
 Here the collar and girdle are one and the same- This unity is secured by means of the pleating. That part of the collar which extends around the waist is edged with pleating which is a trifle wider than that about the collar itself, for it has to form the gfrdle and help form the bouffant lines over the hips.
 Orchid-colored organdie with the pleating in pale pink would be ideal for this frock. Pink stitching may be used to outline the tucl1s.
 This summery model would also look well in one color. such as ca nary, or apricot or bluebird blue. Do not omit the dainty bunch of flowers with their attending streamers of two-tone ribbon. Dotted swiss, mar Quisette. voile or taffeta may also be used with good effect.

WOMEN EXCEED Men
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$50, 900 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage of Ten
to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.

There are more women in industry
In Japan than there are men, accord
to statement recently made by the
War Work Council of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Of industry according to this state
ment; 10000 of them little girls under
fifteen years of age who work twelve
hours at wage of ten to twenty cents
a day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, a city Of two and
one-half million people, there are 1O0,.'
900 women employed in :sixty-two in.
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks,
stenographers and bookkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts OF fac
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these woe
men 60 back to their homes in the
country, broken in health and victims
of tuberculosis because of the poor,
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed In dormltories
in the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The.
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, oftentimes a
bed which a girl who works at night
has been sleeping in all day.
AS part of its world service for wo-
men, the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitorles
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
physical and social conditions, to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound and
direct games and social life.
This is done with the cooperation
Of the factories managers and pro-
prietors. One of the most influential
of these is Mrs. Suzuki, the most
prominent woman manufacturer In
Japan, who is owner and manager Of a
firm which exported $11,000,OOO worth
of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women In her
offices. She could not find enough
well trained ones SO she established
q permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained to enter the busi-
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead of Japan, she says, Is in its
growing materlalism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development Of her
women.

MCCORMICK HAS PROSPEROUS
YEAR

Mccormick, Jan. 4.-The year
1919 was remarkable one for Nc
Cormick county in many ways. Like
the year 1918 over the previous year
and every other year since 1914,
every line of activity has been on the
boom, but especially since the year
1916, when the county of Mccormick
was formed.
The progress of the county is per-
haps best estimated by the deposits
in the banks of the county. One of
the banks-and this particular bank
has had no unusual success over the
other banks-had a total deposit of
SIG, 900 in 1914, and in December
1918, this same bank had deposit
of $4,000. This same bank today
has deposit of s356,OOo. All banks
of the county have increased in their
deposits in about the same proportion
and today the banks here have total
deposit CT $1,500,OO0.
Nothing has been more active, how
ever, than the real estate market and
more than 100000 worth of real es-
tate has changed hands during the
past year. Several new residences
have been erected throughout the
county, farms have been improved
and the whole atmosphere seems to
be one of prosperity. There are two
new churches being erected at this
time in the town Of Mccormick. The
Baptist church at cost of approx
mately $4,000 has been about half
completed while the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church at
cost of approximately $4,000 is well
under way. Quite number of new
residences in town are in course of
construction and others will be erect
ed as soon as labor can be had. There
has been marked shortage of car
penters here fer the past year and
another year will doubtless find
number of other residences occupied
by new comers and every store in
town is occupied.
The farmers of the county are
holding meetings monthly in an eff
fort to get organized to meet the boil
weevil and are preparing to plant
crops other than cotton, to use i'm
proved implements and do not seem
to dread the coming of the boil wee
vii as much as they might.
One of the newest enterprises in
Mccormick is the wholesale grocery
company, the Mccormick Grocery
Company with an organized capital
stock of $4,000 backed by men OF
marked ability and experience. This
new enterprise is bound to meet with
success and will in a few days open
it's doors for business.
A petition is being circulated and
in a few days an election will be or
dered for the purpose of bonding Nc
Cormick in the sum of $4,000 for
the purpose of erecting a court house
and this public building is to be erec-
ted during the year 1920.
