all done not in years. but in eighteen
months
The Navy manned and operated over
1000 vessels, more than FIVE times as
many as were in naval service pre-
vious to the war. The larger number
were troopships, cargo transports, pa
troll vessels and district craft. But the
number of naval vessels and auxiliaries
in service at the armistice was ia, as
compared with 342 on April 6, 1917. Be
tween Jan. 1. 1917, and Oct. /, 1919. 645
vessels were built. Most of these were,
or course, submarine chasers and mine
sweepers, but the number included three
battleships, 139 destroyers 81 submarines
and 80 Eagle patrol boats.
BIG SHIP
YARDS BUILT.
To build these vessels new facilities
had to be created-new ship yards, new
plants to build engines and forgings and
all the complicated machinery to pro-
pei and operate vessels. Early in the
war we contracted for every destroyer
the yards could build. Then. in October,
1917. we began enlarging old plants and
building new ones, to produce $50 more
destroyers. By that time we had con-
tracted for 270 of these swift and capa-
BILE vessels, the greatest enemy of the
submarines At Squantum, Mass, we
built the largest destroyer plant in the
world. and in six months after ground
was broken in that swampy location l
witnessed the laying of the keels Of FIVE
destroyers there in one day. Before the
war, from twenty months to two years
were required 70 complete a destroyer.
We turned out some of them during the
war in a fraction of that time. The
Ward. at Mare Island, was launched In
seventeen and one-h half days after its
Keel was laid, and commissioned in
seventy-one days. Others were com
pleted in a few months. But we were
Just reaching the peak Of production
when hostilities ended.
BUILT 400
SUB" CHASERS.
The Navy built more than 400 sub
marfne chasers, fifty of which were
turned over to the French government
and fifty more built on its order.
The Navy converted 1897 merchant yes
sells, yachts and other craft for naval
purposes This work was continuous all
during the war Navy yards and plants
were enlarged and turned out an enor-
nous amount of repair and conversion
work, as well as building ships of al
| types The number Of Navy yard cru
ployes was more than doubled running
to nearly $4,000.
The Navy built up aviation force OF
more than $4,000, of whom 10000 served
in Europe, where we had fifty avia-
/ ton units including twenty seven bases
! and stations, in operation, on the coasts

or more if you want a rather thick
sauce; add a scant pint Of milk
and allow it to thicken slowly, stir
ring all the time to keep it smooth.
Stir pint of canned or fresh corn
into the sauce after it has been
taken from the stove, and season
to taste. Put corn thus prepared
into Dap. well-greased baking
dish, cover with fine bread crumbs,
dot with butter, and spread a layer

Miss Lucille Moore

The younger business women
of Des Moines, who are self-sup-
porting and not holding executive
positions, have formed a Business
Girls League under the super
vision of the department of wo-
mems affairs of the Chamber of
Commerce. Miss Lucille Moore
is chairman.
There are three study groups
pursuing the subjects of business
efficiency, craftsmanship and adver-
Using, and political education.
The young ladies who are be-
tween the ages Of l8 and 80 are
under the leadership Of older wo-
men who have achieved success in
these lines.

Not All Are Worthy

The natives of India are believers
in the black magic when it comes
to dealing with their government.
One of their practices is to burn
an old woman alive whenever they
have a grievance against the state
as a means of calling down the
vengeance of heaven upon it.
A few weeks ago the people Of
Malawa became incensed over the
high taxes. They selected an aged
widow, prepared pyre, and in
vited her relatives to attend the
tragic ceremony. British officers
heard what was going on and
troops were called out to prevent
it. When they arrived, they were
attacked by the angry multitude
who did not propose to be thwart-
ed in their purpose. The woman
could be seen making frantic eff
forts to save herself but every
time she struggled she was pushed
back into the flames. Finally the
soldiers we're compelled to open
fire upon the mob, killing seven
persons; but when they arrived at
the pyre, the woman was dead.
1t is a little puszling to reflect
that all this took place within the
past month among a people that
are clamoring loudly for the right
Of self government.

An Absurd Feminine Notion

1t happens that the group of
men who are accused above of try
ng to dictate to the women Of the
land what they may and may not
do are the duly elected lawmakers
of the nation. They are supposed
to make the laws for all the people;
and further all the people are sup
posed to obey the laws which they
enact.
Is there any reason why the wo-
men Of our country should demand
special exemption from the laws
which are enacted? Are they a
privileged class outside the law?
And are our lawmakers supposed
to make laws for men only?
The truth is, of course, that this
contention is extremely foolish
Women are subject to our law.
making bodies just as are all the
rest of the people; and our law.
makers in turn have precisely thu
same right to make laws governing
women as men.

tends to make a child sullen or
vicious according to his disposition,
certainly not less hayward.
Christ discarded the doctrine of
violence and advocated a more
mild system of government. He
was especially gentle with children.
1t is a serious thought that we
are in a measure, at leasts respon-
sible for our children's misdeeds,
for if we direct their developing
thoughts and activities in a chan
mel which will give them a morally
wholesome viewpoint Of right and
wrong there is not mnch danger
that they will choose the wrong.
Cruelty, selfshness and deceit
should not go unpunished, but
there are more effective methods
of punishment than using the rod.
Scolding and nagging do more
harm than good but a good, clear
headed talk is often effective.
When we tell them why, and point
out the wrong-meet them like
understanding human beings-ten
to one they will respond.

Some Curious Reasoning

An interesting little incident oc-
Cured a week or two ago during q
meeting of a House Committee to
consider the johnson Bill, which
would prohibit women from smok-
ing in public in the City of WASH
ington.
Miss Alice Robertson, the only
woman member of Congress, took
an active part and gave evidence
by her remarks that she did not
favor the measure. Besides the
committee members, nearly fifty
spectators were present; and f.
nally when the committee found
itself unable to make further prog
ress, it decided to poll the audience
and find out what they thought of
the bill. Of the twenty-five wo-
men in the room, twenty-four were
found to be against it; and Of the
twenty male spectators present, all
but one seemed to be likewise OPP
posed to the measure.
The opposition was not due to a
willingness to see the women of
America become users Of cigarettes.
Instead, the reason given by prac-
tically all persons for their votes
was that they did not approve of a
group of men trying 70 dictate to
the women of the land what they
might and might not do.

Parents Too Often Use the Rod

The subject Of punishment
which children should receive for
disobedience or wrong doing has
received much attention and
thought, but no conclusion has or
can be reached, from the fact that
there is such variation in their
understanding of things.
Too often the parents do not
stop to consider the motive for an
offense but punish bhndly, often in
anger and without question.
This is all wrong. A child has
as much right to have a hearing
before punishment as do his par
ents in court of law. Circum-
stantial evidence should not con-
Wet without thorough investi-
cation.
A child is not blind to injustice
and too often the very end sought
is defeated by Furnishing him for a
fault without giving him chance
to explain why it was committed.
1t is true that Solomon, the wise
king, advocated using the rod for
correction, but we must bear in
mind that Solomon lived before
the advent of Christ with his con-
quest of love.
King Solomon ruled under the
Livitical law mode of govern
ment which used force to accom-.
plish it's ends,-'Thou SHALT" and
"Thou shalt not being the mode
Of it's expression.
There may be times when it is
necessary to use the rod, and il
these cases it should not be usec
sparingly, but these are exceptiona
cases and not the rule.
The habit which some parents
have of striking their children
whipping them for every offense
real OF imaginary, is perniciou
custom,-brutal and cruel. l

Cleaning Panama Hats

Take off bands and Innings and
prepare a warm (not hot) suds
made with CASTLE soap. To each
quart of soap-suds, add one teas
poonful of ammonia. Use a nail
brush to scrub the hat with this
mixture, not neglecting the under
side of the brim. Rinse off with
clear water and scrub again with
the soap-suds. Rinse again in
clear water, then rinse with a COM
bination of one quart of water,
a Tablespoonful of glycerine and a
few drops of bluing. Rinse we'll,
using the brush to work we'll into
the straw. The glycerine prevents
the hat from getting hard and out
Of shape. Pat the hat with clean,
dry cloths, then lay it in the sun
on a fiat surface which has been
covered with a clean towel. When
the hat begins to dry, shape it as
desired, then let it alone for two
or three hours and it will be as
nice md fresh as when new.
Straw hats can be cleaned by rub
bing them with cornmeal dampen-
ed with peroxide.

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
A Word from Psychology

Because early childhood is the
great habit-forming age, parents OF
little children would do we'll to
study earnestly the laws of habit
formation.
One of these laws, which tells us
what actions tend to become fixed
as habits in the life of the child,
seems especially worthy of careful
thought. 1t says that the child
voluntarily fixes as habits only
those actions which afford him
genuine satisfaction and pleasure.
This appears simple enough and
commends itself to our judgment
as true. But it means that there
is a reason for every one Of those
disagreeable habits which little
children seem to form spontaneous
| ly, sometimes even while in the
cradle; that this reason in each
case is that the little one is actually
deriving satisfaction from the hab-
it in question:; and that if we wish
to root the habit out, we have
only to see to it that the satisfac-
ton which is coming from it
ceases.
If we could bnt see it, this law
gives us absolute control over the
habits of the child, and so over the
character, which is already begin
ming to take form in early infancy.
For we most certainly have it
within our power to take away the
pleasure which wrong actions may
bring to the child, and likewise to
see to it that pleasure actually re.
suits from other actions which are
good.
There are many parents who SEE
these truths clearly but who still
fail to perform the part which theil
relation to the child demands O
them. 1t may be due to weak
ness, to mistaken sympathy, or t.
sheer neglect. No matter wha
) the cause may be, the parent is il
a true sense responsible for the re
J suit. Society is perhaps to-
: lenient with parents Of spoile'
children. There is probably no
one case in hundred in which tn
fault does not lie rather with tn
] parent than with the child. Ye
it is society and the child tina
= have to suffer; and society IN pal
ticular seems to have a perfec
e right to demand that the mistake
of parents be reduced to the yer
minimum.

Married Folks Cause Trouble

MIR. and Mrs. Matthew Mar
guard, of New Jersey, have had a
lesson in propriety which they will
probably not soon forget.
They have been married two
years, but still seem to be unduly
afectionate. A few days ago,
when they were at one of the
bathing beaches, they thoughtless-
ly kissed each other. Before they
knew it, they were under arrest;
and when they told the officer that
they were married, he refused to
believe them, being convinced
from observation and experience
that married couples never acted
in any such manner.
They were taken before Judge
Miles, of New York City. When
they told him their story, he grave
ly assured them that it was no way
for married people to act and found
them guilty Of disorderly conduct.
He suspended sentence, however,
during their good behavior; and SO
they did not have to pay fine OF
go to jail.
It may seem foolish to hold
married people in such tight rein
as they evidently do in New York
However, there can be no mistake
that the young people there seen
to need it.

Third Time Is Charm
Senator Kenyon's third attempt
to bring the sheppard-Towner
Bill to a vote in the Senate proved
unexpectedly successful; and the
vote in favor of it proved even
larger than any one had hoped for.
There were seventy senators pres
ent at the time; and sixty-three,
or exactly ninety per cent, voted
for the measure.
It provides help and medical
care for women about to become
mothers who for any reason TAIL to
secure same otherwise. 1t is
known that about $4,000 mothers
and approximately ten times as
many babies die each year in the
United States because of the lack
of such attention; and the purpose
Of the bill is to put an end to this
needless sacrifice of human life.
Opponents of the measure, while
few in number, were nevertheless
bitter. Senator Reed, Of Missouri
attempted to get the official title
Of the measure changed as follows

Spinsters to Teach Mothers How
to Raise Babies"
The bill has already gone to tn.

the fight will have to be repeated
