WARSHIP TO BE
 MOVING TARGET
Navy Department Preparing Famous Battleship Iowa
 For Her Last Role

WASHINGTON, July 27. - The once famous battleship Iowa, which played no small part in the destruc- tion of Cervera's fleet at Santiago, is being prepared at the Philadel- phia navy yard for what naval of- ficers say will be one of the most unique target experiments ever at tempted.
 Proceeding unnamed, but under her own steam and controlled by radio, probably from seaplanes, the old sea-fighter will become the ob- jective of the big guns of the Alt lantic fleet superdreadnoughts in, Chesapeake Bay late this summer This will be the first time that American warships have used a mov- ing craft for target except, in actual war. brig. Jbd sa
 Two of the Iowa's coal burning boilers are being converted to burn oil so the ship may continue under way with no one aboard once her fires have been started burning and her engines placed in motion.
 It is expected that the unique practice will give the gunpointers of the Atlantic fleet an opportun- ity to test their ability under con- ditions as nearly like those to bs expected in battle as can be ob- tained Smoke screens will be thrown around the Iowa during the runs and the course will be changed at will through the radio control system, necessitating a change in range on all the firing ships, ex- actly as would occur in action. The Iowa. has already been stripped of some of it's guns and much valuable metal and the prac- | tice will be continued until the old vessel, mass of twisted metal, sinks beneath the waves to join the | old Texas. which, as the San Mar eos. was used for a stationary target years ago.
 The battleship Ohio has been turned oyer to the Bureau of Steam Engineering for purposes of exper- iment in radio control and a staff of expert technical officers has been placed on board to arrange the Iowa practice.

 House Floor Crowded
 Every decade since 1790, with the single exception of 1840, the House membership has been en- larged to keep pace with the grow ing population Now the House floor is crowded when all members are present; seats nearly fill the chamber; the old Individual desks have been discarded and an increase in membership probably will have to be solved by narrowing the width of the seats.
 Ten years ago the House mem bership was increased from 391 to 435 on the basis of a population oi 91, ,972,266 and the only exception to Such procedure occurred in 1840 when 10 Congressmen were knocked out by the apportionment the membership being fixed at 232 after having been PAP for 10 years
