'Vigor Of Youth In
 A New Discovery
Science Produces Vitalize1. Superiol to Famous Gland Treatmenf-
 Magic Power of a Bark
 From Africa

f. Have you lost your youth, vigor and a grind? Don't worry. Science has dis covered a new vitalizer superior. even to the much discussed '-goat gland'' and
 monkey gland'' treatment.
 The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree It is said to be the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with it are other tonic and vita1izing clements of proved merit In most cases, the com pound produces marked improvement in a day CT two, and in 9 short time the vitality is raised, the circulation inn proved and the glow of health is felt in every part.
 The new vitaIizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enor- nous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all. Furthermore the laboratories producing this new vii ta1izer, which is called Re-Nu-Tabs, are so confident of it's power that they offer 1t on the basis of mo results, pay.'s
 Any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk Send money, but just your name and address, way Station, Kansas City. Mo. and a full treatment of Re-Nu-Tabs will be mailed Deposit g and postage with the postIran on delivery. If not delighted by the results at the end of week. notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about accepting this test offer, as it is fully uaranteed.-AdV.

and 2,3O0 volt generator driving a 3 1000 h. D. motor at 100 revolutions per minute and suitable control ap- paratus for maneuyering the yes sel. A five thousand mile trip through heavy seas was finished without any mechanical trouble and with exceIlently maintained speed.
 An engineer aboard the Eclipse" on her five thousand mile run in report to the General Electric Company, said: "I have had many years seagoing experience in differ ent types of vessels with various equipments, but I have never been on any vessel which showed such marked steadiness and was so en- [ tire1y free from vibration
 "I wish to add that the congenial and harmonious feeling among the entire crew would He hard t6 find on any ship, which would say was due to the satisfactory perform l auces and results shown Following the lead of the Eclipse" the sister ship "S. s. In- vincible," equipped with tbe cleo l tric drive, has just completed her sea trials with most gratifying re- suits.
 Another interesting development in ship propulsion apparatus is the l generation of electric current by generator driven by Diesel oil en- | zine instead of a steam turbine. The traw1er Mariner" was the first craft to adopt Diesel electric drive. | She was kept in service when steam trawlers were tied up at the dock due to the poor market for | their catch. Yet the Mariner" with her steady, economical cleo tric drive went out and made profit.
 A Diesel electric ship larger than tae Mariner" will be in operation | as soon as a recent contract has been carried out It calls for the reitting of the motor
 ship "Fordonian"1 with Diesel electric drive She is a single
 screw freighter 257 feet long, Her
 new equipment will consist, of twin Diesel engines connected to two generators furnishing power to an $50 Il. D. motor coupled direct to the propeller shaft, and a complete control system arranged for engine room control. This type of drive will be installed to secure for the larger ship all the advantages which it 90 brought to the trawler
 Mariner"
 The electric drive ship is here to stay. It has established itself in the estimation of leading marine experts, and engineers expect the next ten years will show an even greater growth than the last dec aGie has shown.

Centenarian Gives
 Three Rules To
 Assure Longevity

Defiance, O., Sept. 17-Living a hundred years or more is a simple matter if you take the word of Francis Ferdinand Mekus. who a few days ago celebrated his 10th birth day,
 When asked his recipe for a long life he said:
 ''Qudt eating .rick-nacks' Eat only solids substantial food
 Walk when you have to go any where. Forget +he hivver. Use your legs, and. finally
 Play lots of pinochie.''
 Sounds simple, but the Defiance centenes92a says that observance of these three rules has seen him safe P to a life span far beyond that en- joyed by the average man, and from all appearances he is good for many a year more
 So far as food goes he is a lover of plane and simple fare Pie and cake he long ago marked off his menu as being neither wholesome nor satisfying. but as for meat. Hageta- bIes and bread-hot and eold-he workngman-
 Long walks and cards are his di- version On his one hundredth th birthday he walked six miles and then sat down to hearty noon-day
 Although a resident of the United States for more than fifty years he speaks no English His formula fo1 long and happy life was translated from his native German by a daugh- ter.
 s@what does he think of prohibi- ton ?'' the interviewer asked.
 s1t wouldn't be safe to ask him. : the daughter said. and refused te translate the query.
 On the tobacco question sfr, tfe- kus is a distinct liberal. When moi eating during his walking hours, he always has a pipe in his mouth.

DOROTHY OGDEN WED NEW HAVEN
 MAN SEPT. 10TH

A quiet but pretty wedding took place in St. Johns Episcopal church rectory on Saturday evening, Sept 10th, when Miss Dorothy A. Ogden. charming daughter Of MT. and Mrs I. W. Ogden of 105 Sherwood avenue became the bride of Harold w. Wheeler. son of pr, and Mrs. Frank Wheeler of New Haven, Rev. Stephen Fish sherman. pastor at the church performed the ceremony.
 Miss Ogden was attired in hand some suit of dark blue tricotine with a small hat of honeydew velvet and a eorsage of orchids. The attendants were Miss Helen Schwerdtle and James Wheetexs brotAer. of the groom,
 After a small reception to only the immediate family the couple left, on an extended honeymoon trip. After October 18th they will be at home temporarily on Sherwood avenue.
 The bride is exceedingly we'll known in this city and has taken a t.s,af.ijaent part in amateur dramatics. She was graduated from Bridgeport Eiga- school in the class of 1919 and fram the City Normal school last June, She is one of the most active members of the Little Theatre Eeague. MT. Wheeler is a graduate of New Haven High school,

revolved by the engine were often smashed by the heavy seas; but by the invention of the screw pro- peller and the further development of the compound engine, steam be gan chasing the white winged sail CTS from the sea.
 For several years the recipro- eating engine was the popular drive for men of war and merchant ships but with the perfection of the steam turbine, marine men turned from the old engine to the compact turbine drive in which the rotary motion of the turbine was trans mitted to the propeller either di rect, in a few fast ships, or through speed reducing gears, such as are now common.
 The idea of driving huge mer chant ship through the seas with the ease with which a motormar drives a street car may seem al most humorous, but today ships arc riding the waves, and many more are to be equipped, whose basic scheme of drive and control is sim liar to that of car.
 The first trial of electric drive or board ship was made in 1908 or two Chicago fireboats. It was ar unqualified success on the little fire | fighters.
 The drive was next used by tho United States Navy on the collier Jupiter, now the U. S. s. Lang lev" a mother ship for airplaDes l and its success on this ship led tC it's adoption by the navy as stand | ard drive on the new battleships ant cruisers now being built.
 A comparison of the operating records or the New Mexico wftl those of her sister ships, the Nils sissippi md Idaho, brings out somI interesting facts. Ste8ming at low speed the turbine driven siste ships burn 20 per cent more fue than the electrically driven Nev Mexico, while at full speed the. burn 322 per cent more, a con vincing argument for electric drive Greater and more flexible power i attained with fur simpler mechan ism, requiring fewer operatives. l is even possible in emergencies fo this huge ship to run at cruisn! speed with an engine room crew O
 one man, the electric mechanism
 requires so little attention.
 Today, we are watching with in
 terest the development of our mer chant marine. The maiden trip o
 the 44O foot Eclipse" Q steame converted into the first electricall
 driven cargo carrier in the Unite States, is convincing proof of tn fitness of this type of drive fo merchant ships. Her electric equir ment consists of a steam turbin

STOLEN LIBERTY BONDS
 RED E,IEMELD AT WASHINGTON

Herkheimer, N- Y, Sept. 17.--Lib- erty bonds. stolen in g. mail robbery here last January, have turned up for redemption in Washington. They az gregate S1,600- The robbery totaTed
 more than $25,00O. Three young Herkimer boys stole mail sacks from Q. truck in the railway station here. Discovered and arrested, the young bandits stated that some of the bonds had been thrown into creek; other bonds were concealed in lumber yard From the creek a few bonds were recovered. It is believed the boys were seen concealing the bonds by someone, who, to leash in,'' fer- warded the bonds to Washington.

 ton, Q. C.. E TITLE shfpbuilding Is in prog AA ress today except in the Navy, but several crafts are being over hauled to have their worn engines replaced by Turbine Generators and Motors.
 Ships ranging from eTeboats and fishing trawlers to great freighters and huge battleships have been electrified.
 Thirteen electrically driven mer- chant ships are being outfltted or are in operation.
 Nineteen electric U. S. warships are either being equipped or are in service.
 The advantages of the electric drive have been adopted by the Coast Guard Service and four cut ters are being equipped with cleo tric propulsion equipment.
 The first two cutters, the Tram pa" and "Haida," have already been launched in San Francisco.
 The total electric ship tonnage is 1,6oo,0Co. These ship power plants could supply light and power for seven cities of the size of Boston. The world is getting used to see ing its land transportation systems give up horse cars, and steam loco motives, and the substitution of electricity as propelling medium, and today water transportation is passing through the same cycle of changes. Equipment on ships to enable wind to drive the craft and the older type of propulsion unit the reciprocating steam engine-is being discarded, while electric gen orators and motors take their place. Turbines transmitting their power through speed reducing gears to the ship propeller-makfng steam'S fin est record on sea = have by no means been superseded, yet cleo tric motors have won such recogni- ton by their performance on such vessels as the battleship New Mex leo that they are now being pre- pared for installation on fourteen merchant ships and nineteen war ships.
 As time went on man learned to build better and better sea craft The raft preceded the dugout which was followed by q seaworthy boat propelled by oars and a single bellying sail. Oars were finally superseded and for hundreds o1 years sailing vessels held sway.
 Then came the reciprocatine steam engine. At first It's adoption was rot general, as the clumsy wooden paddle wheels which were

SHAPING THE FINGER NAILS
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

SHAPING THE FINGER NAILS
 An immense amount can be done toward improving the actual shape of tthe hand and fingers by shaping the finger nails in different ways
 For instance, if your fingers are very short it is obvious that a fairly long nail will make the fingers seem longer, but you must be very careful about the length of the nail. A nail that is too long will only be ugly and vulgar looking and will not be an inn provement even to the prettiest hand.
 A blunt finger will be improved by 8 pointed nail which will give a taper ing effect, but here again you must Fbe very careful, for a pointed nail can falso be very ugly and only a detri- ment to an otherwise pretty hand.
 A very long finger should never thave a long nail, at the same time it should not have too short a nail be- tcause this will bring the finger to such a sudden end only to attract lattention to it's length.
 In other words you must be very moderate, you must never have the nails too long or too short, too point ed or too square. Yet by varying very slightly the shape you can always improve the shape of the fingers. The point which should extend beyond the length of the finger when the fingers are snort, and about to it's edge when the fingers are long. It should be
 
 tSer, less sharply on a tapering finger. Always be careful in cleaning the nails that you do not push the skin underneath too far back, for this makes the nail seem rather short.

RIGHT AND
 WRONG WAY
 IN DANCING

There is a right and a wrong to
 everything and especially to position when dancing. What is more dis gusting or vulgar than a position in which the young man holds his part ner so closely that they are cheek to cheek. if the couple is of the same height, or in which she must lay her head on his chest while he effects the round shoodered position if he is a bit taller than she. One may smile at such description but it is exactly one of the many freak styles
