Every American is deeply interested
today in knowing how the size of the
United States Navy compares with
that of other countries. In discussing
this question Secretary Daniels said:
at is not always possible to an
swer this question accura tely. for we
do not always know whether all the
building authorized has been under
taken or whether all the data of
all nations have been made public.
But as TO the large nations the in
formation is fairly accurate.
"As far as we are able to deter
mine from reliable sources of infor-
nation. it is found that when the
building programs as authorized and
projected are completed. the follow
ing general situation will exist:
In major ships and in great gum
power as compared with the British
navy the United States will be SUI
perior. In total tonnage and effective
fighting ships the United States will
be approximately equal to Great
Britain. The United States Navy,
however. will be considerably weaker
than the British navy in light cruis-
ers and the other ships used for pro-
tecting the main body of the fleet and
in conducting blockading operations
We will be slightly inferior in sub
marines and will have no modern air
craft carriers suitable for operating
with the fleet. The lack of fleet avia-
ton forces will place US at a disad-
vantage in comparison with Great
Britain. This means that while our

Names of Months.

THE names of the twelve months
carry the mind back to Roman
times January comes from Janus
He was a Roman deity and was wor-
SHIPPED as the god of doors and gates
He also presided over the opening OF
each day and had an important hand,
SO the old Romans believed in the
commencement of all human under
takings- He was represented as be.
ing two-faced because he looked into
the past and into the future. Hence.
when Julius Caesar rearranged the
Roman calendar. which calendar we
have inherited he named the first
month, or the opening month. in
/ honor of Janus-or, as he was called
in Latin-Januarius.
February has sometimes been called
| the fever month" because at that
| time OF year the Roman marshes were

But the fact issthat February is not

Of expiation. -

of the Roman-year. and. having such
a prominent place in the calendar, il

the most proMinent Roman gods.

are now becoming of utility in night
attacks on the surface. though they
are useless for underwater attack
after niehtfall because the periscope
is practically blind at night.
The increase in the number of tor
pedo tubes and the greater power OF
torpedoes carried. together with the
larger gun power, also has tended to
Increase their utility in engagements
with surface ships. The fleet sub
marines of the United States Navy
carry five-inch guns. which are
larger than those ordinarily placed
on submarines.
z One decided advantage which the
new American craft will have is that
her submerged torpedo tubes are not
of the type known as fixed" This
means that when one of these craft
wishes to fire a torpedo it will not
be required to maneuver the whole
craft in order to aim the torpedo
tube, as is the case with practically
all other submarines.
Special attention is understood to
have been given to the problem of
ly immune as possible to depth bomb
explosions. On this subject, how
ever. Navy officials are not doing
much talking. as the method of at
tanning this immunity is secret.
Thickness of armor. far from pro-
water explosion, has just the oppo-
site effect the armor being driven
into the vessel after the manner of a
projectile if the explosion is within
close proximity.
Another feature to which American
designers have paid particular atten-
tion is that of habitability. Careful
and detailed study was given all
types of foreign vessels during the
war and it may be safely said that
the fleet submarines will be more
comfortable for their crews than
any other submarines in the world
The emphasis laid by Navy officials
upon this point is due to the belief
that efficiency of the average sub
marine has in the past been very
greatly impaired by living conditions
which the average layman would
consider unbearable. In this connec-
ton it may be stated that the world

Don Hide The
Blind Baby

Notwithstanding the fact that
a law providing for the care and
education of the baby blind of
this State was made in 1915. 6
years ago, very few blind babies
are finding their way to the
institutions prepared for them.
Why do not the mothers take
advantage of the care the State
can give? Every now and then
blind child is reported as too
backward or too crippled to
enter the State school. Why
has not the child heen given the
training to prevent it from be-
coming backward?
1t is learned that the mother,
not understanding the seriousness
of allowing the child to grow up
at home. does not make known
the fact that she has one until
it is TOO big and too heavy for
her to handle. Ats, Sort years
of age it is generally too late to
save it mentally, if it was blinded
IN infancy.
1t would seem therefore duty
for everybody to report blind
baby as soon as it is found, and
urge the mother to turn it over
to the State for proper care.
The New York City newspapers
have just reported the wonder
full success of Rosalie Cohen,
blind, who graduated from the
City grammar school in a class
of 30, rated by the Binet Method
two years ahead of her age.
Rosalie demonstrates the fact
that blind baby can make good
if given a chance. New York
City appointed Resale to the
International Sunshine Home for
Blind Babies when she was two
years old. There she was given
the special care and training for
the "baby blind" as outlined by
BY Mrs. John Alden, the founder
of the institution. 1t was Mrs
Alden, who urged legislation in
their behalf. Rosalie, with
several other older children in
the institution, have made plair
tae need of giving all blinC
children special care from the
day of blindness.
