passive majority support. That was the
IJredicament i'm which the legislators found
themselves.
Long before suffrage became national in
character the women OF Kansas gained the
ballot. They were eager to use it and were
not without their own notions of how 1t
should be used. In the rural districts women
in church societies and clubs banded in a
crusade to wipe out the cigarette.
Taking a determined and active stand on
the question the members of the State Leg
islature soon found themselves in danger If
they refused longer 90 deny the demands
people as a whole took the matter as joke.
They considered it something to laugh at
and did not work against II. The result was
that the measure came up and was passed.
The legislators acted in all honesty, for they
were urged by political necessity and the
pressure brought TO bear on them. They
could have followed no other course without
destroying their political chances
out of this peculiar situation rose the
gnti-cigarette law The state as a whole did
not desire IT, but the legislators succumbed

Kansans awoke 10 the invasion that had
been made ON their liberty the thing had

That is what they doing in the Sun

light Of violation TO buy all the cigarettes
he desires. u Is not really I'm a strict sense

of the ban which was placed on them. II

The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-12-26

No provision of the law prohibits smoking
cigarettes It only places a ban on their
sale One has no right to inquire where or
how they are secured. That secret still re-
mains as a measure of the Kansan's liberty.
state agents seeking contraband have
found by approaching unsuspecting smokers
with an air of fellowship they. may learn
the location of cigarette sales centres and
secure evidence for a raid. Their most pop
ular method has been this casual CONVERSE
ton with some chance smoker they see on
the street Which method as kansans have
grown wiser In the working of the law. mas
gradually been losing its effectiveness.
A minor cannot appear in Kansas smok-
ing either n cigarette a cigar or corncob.
The first intention Of the law was 70 take
under wing the cases of boys, but the Legis-
lature soon saw a chance TO correcP the
morals OF adults and took It.
Kansas stood behind the statute prohibit
ing smoking among boys. But the Jay
hawkers do not stand behind the blue law
which deprives them Of the right to enter
a store and make a purchase of a package
OF cigarettes in n peaceful manner.
With the people Of the state as whole
arraigncd against II. how did the law come

asked of New Workers. concerning the Eigh-
teenth Amendment. New Workers had just
about as much To do with~the passage OF the
prohibition act the kansans as q whole
did with the anti-cigarette law

Attempt by Woman Superintendent
To Coerce All Men Teachers

Lizzie Wooster who was Superintendent
OF schools for the state for two terms. at
tempted to impose the law on the men
teachers under her direction.
IA man who smokes cigarettes or any
thing else is not fit to teach children" she
said. II will have none OF them i'm the
schools OF the state while I am Siperin-
tendent'
But Miss Woosters task was more diff
cult than She had reckoned There was
nothing in the law prohibiting the smoking
of cigarettes and there was nothing in the
nature of the instructors which would per-
init them 10 succumb to such a ruling The
: men teachers went on smoking. Miss Woos-
ter forced many designations. But all OF
them were more willing TO quit the profes-
sion than TO give up their habit
In theory Miss Wooster never gave up her
fight. In reality it became a necessity in
order to retain the staff Of male instructors.
Some of them who had never touched a
corncob pipe took up the habit on general
principles
Another step In the direction of tho blue
reform has been taken locally by practically
all Kansas cities This Is the prohibition
Of motion picture shows or any form of
theatrical entertainment on Sunday SO far
this ban has been local in nature. but the
performers are now directing their efforts to
having II placed on the statute books Of the
state.

tleships or battle cruisers because of its
greater economy in fuel, in space and
weight and especially because of its greater
fexibity An electrically driven ship can
utilize full power when running astern as
well as ahead while 40 per cent. of power
astern is a good average for other forms OF
propulsion.
The electrical equipment has also proved
more durable and repairs, when necessary,
are more readily made. according to the eX-
perience of navy officials.
Electrical Propulsion Protects
Against Shell Fire and Torpedoes
Another important advantage of electrical
propulsion in a ship of war is the greater
protection against shell fire or torpedoes
afforded by that type of construction. In
The case OF the new battle cruisers, for eX-
ample the two turbo- generators and -four
motors are in separate water tight compart-
ments. If one turbo-generator were disabled
the ship could still operate at three fogrths
speed and il half the motors We're put out
of commission half speed could be main
tanned.
II would be impossible to build reciprocal
ing engines sufficiently powerful and sufii-
GENTLY compact TO perform the work the
turbo- generators In the new battle cruisers
we're designed for. According to naval ex-
perts the limit for reciprocating engines
was reached in battleships of the type of the
Texas and New York. The new battle
cruisers are oil burners and have a cruising
radius of approximately 5000 miles
No definite plans have been made for the
distribution of the six cruisers when they
are complete. According to tactical experts
their assignment would depend entirely
upon circumstances. They might form A
single permanent division with either The
Atlantic or the Pacific feet, or 1t might be
found advisable to have them alternate be-
tween the two fleets. II is also possible. they
assert. that conditions might arise which
would make II desirable to keep half the
battle cruisers In the Atlantic and half in the
Pacific.
AS the vessels were designed 10 pass
readily through the Panama Canal. shlftirg
Of their base of operations would not be
difficult The canal locks are 1000 feet III
length. 105 feet i'm breadth and 40 feet deep.

itless competition among the nations in the

America Takes First Place by
These Monsters and Other Ship

In addition to the six battle cruisers OF the
Constellation type which are now building
and must be completed by 1928, there are six
battleships of 80, 800 tons and six others OF
1920 tons to be completed and delivered to
the American navy by 1928.
Aside from the battle cruiser Hood, the
biggest ships Great Britain can boast OF are
those of the Lion and Tiger class, which
have displacement of 2S500 tons. The
Queen Elizabeth, flagship of the British

AS previously intmated. the battle cruiser
is a comparatively new type OF war vessel.
1t is the result of years of effort on the part
of naval designers to produce ship with
the heavy armament of battleship, coupled
with the speed of a scout cruiser. Thouga
American naval strategists were alive to tire
possibilities of this type of craft. Congress
was somewhat slow to accept their recon-
mendations and it was not until 1916 that
battle cruisers were authorized for our navy.
Work was Immediately begun on the six
battle cruisers authorized but was discon J.

the battle of Jutland had opportunity to see
the soundness of their ideas tested. The
Queen Mary. Lion Tiger and other splendid
examples of the type participated in that
engagement, and. according to naval ex-
perts, proved beyond question their useful
ness. both in locating the enemy and In
dealing with him afterward.
1t was Admiral Beatty with his battle
cruisers who penetrated the German screen
at Jutland and engaged the main body oi
the German fleet until the British main

ships, such operations are not her primary
function. A battleship ordinarily has from
ten TO eighteen inches of steel armor to pro-
tect her from enemy shells. whereas the bat
tie cruiser would rarely have more than five
or six inches. II is this sacrifice of armor
which makes possible the greater speed.
Obviously, no battle cruiser could stand
broadside and at close range and exchange
shot for shot with battleship.
The ideal work for the battle cruiser lies
in another direction. When a great fleet
sallies forth on the warpath 1t puts out a
SCREEN" both in advance of the main body
and upon its TANKS. This screen" is closely
analogous to the advance guard" "rear
guard" and patrols which an army sends
out. and its functions are exactly the same.
II must screen" the main body 80 that
the enemy cannot learn its true position,
prevent surprise attacks and If possible
penetrate the screen" of the enemy. For
such work only fast vessels are used. but If
in addition TO the requisite speed a ship has
great gun power I, will obviously prove
doubly useful Here it is that the battle
cruiser comes into its own
