What Will Good Water Do?
If Tulsa has made this phenomenal growth in spite of its
past and untcnabe water supply which from
the muddy and salty Arkansas river is logical for to
wonder what lies in store for this city when its water supply
emanaes from clear sparkling MOUNTAIN stream-when
water bid goodbye to bottled water and drink
pure paaabe water that from the faucets in their
homes.
Plumbing bills caused by rusted water pipe through
which Arkansas river water flows, destroyed boilers in
gnes that must be replaced at heavy expense to the
and operators and countless other things must be taken
into consideration in connection with the water supply.
No other city in the southwest will have supply equal
to Tusa's when it completes the Spavnaw project For

u. s. s. New Mexico. Flagship
Cal, July 8. - I'VE learned
Pacific Fleet, Los Angeles Harbor,
many things during the recent
war. The most pertinent of all
this knowledge is that the Amer
lean navy must be 100 per cent
efficient at all times to be really
efficient at all"
A naval officer recently made
this remark to me during a con-
versation aboard the superdread-
naught New Mexico, where | had
a remarkable opportunity to note
for a few days the routine of a
great capital ship.
Every sailor and officer on the
New Mexico, as well as of the
whole Pacific fleet for that mat
ter, takes a great pride in back
ing up Admiral Rodman's decla-
ration that ship for ship, the
American navy is without a SUI
perior on the worlds seas"
In this article a brief outline
will be given of the New Mexico's
mechanical equipment which is
regarded the best in the navies OF
the world
Electric Throughout
The New Mexico is practically
controlled at all times by cleo
trical devices, and is generally re-
ferred to among American naval
men as "the electrical ship"
On the New Mexico electricity
hoists the ammunition, rotates the
huge turrets. operates the fourteen
inch guns, steers the ship, raises
and lowers the anchors, pumps
fresh and salt water, disposes of
sewage, congresses and heats air,
operates the machinery and tools
in the machine shop. carpenter
shop and printing establishment.
Electricity is the medium for
operating the intricate intercom-
municating systems OF the ship,
including the many telephones
which keep the officers in con-
slant touch with the crew; oper-
ates the fire protection system and
supplies the artificial cooling sys-
tenn with refrigerating power.

Largest Watch
Is Exhibited
by Government

Washington, July 5. - The
largest watch ever known to be
manufactured is being exhibited
in the priceless collection of the
government and housed in the ma
tional museum. 1t was manufac-
tured by big watch making com
pany of Lancaster, Pa, and was
loaned to the government for two
months for exhibition purposes.
This mastodon among chronOm-
eters measures 1914 inches in di-
ameter is " inches thick and has
main spring feet long. 1t is
an exact duplicate of the standard
23-jewel watch of commerce, the
Jewels being synthetic stones. The
timepiece was constructed at a
cost of $500 and represents some
Of the finest workmanship of its
kind in the country. The train
the wheels run in, is of solid gold,
with the coks in the teeth treated
specially to harden them against
wear. The winding wheel is of
steel. Although it has a nine-foot
handspring, the watch is run by a
weight.

Paris. July 5. - All FEMININE
Europe is suddenly turning TO
black gowns and the women VINO

The running of the Prix de Dl-
ane at the reopening OF the Chah-

fashionable event of the summer
IN the continent. Promenadlng
before the stands were thousands
of the elite of Paris, London, New
York and scores of other cities and
fully 80 per cent of them were IN
black. The wave of sombreness
has struck Berlin, Rome, Vienna
and all other European capitals.
Edouard Ponti, noted French
writer. thinks he knows the reason
why.
Fashionable dressmakers did
not launch this mode deliberately
for it takes money out OF their
pockets" says Ponti. "A woman
must have many gayly-colored
dresses. because they are conspicu-
Gus and the same color cannot be
worn every day, whereas she may
do very well with two or three
gowns in black.
1T is not a measure OF econ

of recent cruises show that on jan
airy 29, during a cruise to South
America, the superdreadnaught
Idaho burned 213 tons of oil; the
New Mexico, 10, and the Missis-
sippi, another superdreadnaught,
1872 tons. All other daily records
showed about the same ratio in
fuel burned.
One of the effective arguments
in favor of the electric ship, "
aside from economy of operation,
is cleanliness. The New Mexico
is free of dirt in the turbine or
furnace rooms, and it has the ap-
pearance of ship In commission
but few days, instead of having
been operated three years.
Great economy Is practiced In
the use of the steam! The ex-
haust steam coming from the tur-
bine generators is used in the op-
Grafton of auxiliary equipment.
Then 1t is put into evaporator coils
and distills sea water into fresh
water. About $4,000 gallons of
ocean water is converted into
fresh water on the New Mexico
every day. This is used for all
general purposes, from drinking
to laundry work.

ToDetect
Icebergs
French Inventor To
Make Tests of Ap-
paratus Made After
Years Of Effort

Paris, July s. - A device to
guard shrps against approaching
or distant icebergs is claimed to
have been found by NJ. Larigaldine
Of the French Society of Eletcri-
ciDns.
Ever since the Titantic disaster
in 1912, this inventor has been
working on a scheme whereby Ice
bergs will be visible at many miles
distance. Experiments conducted
of the north coast of Newfound-
land aboard a French gunboat are
said to have been conclusive tho
not absolutely perfect. In working
on his invention M. Larigaldie
considered the dangers of icebergs
to shipping and the delays and ex-
penses incurred by ships having to
take more southerly courses dur
ing cold weather. If his invention
proves successful the inventor
claimst hat ships will henceforth
be able to navigate in more nor
theriy waters and, he hopes there
by to reduce both the danger OF
cross-Atlantic travel and the
time NEEDED to make the crossing.
The apparatus M. Larigaldie
employs on his trials consisted OF
q gilded parabolical mirror, which
can freely oscillate around It's
horizontal diameter. A heavy lead
weight reduces its period OF oscil-
lation so as to render is insensible
to the rolling of the ship, The axle
OF the apparatus directed toward
the bow Of the ship directly cuts
the horizon. In the center OF the
mirror special thermoelectrical
coupling is placed, which, care
fully calorified, is protected by
sylvine. a highly transparent sub
stance. Despite serious difficulties
due in some measure to the mar
row surface Of the mirror, 1t was
possible to notice a diminution Of
the current produced by the ther-
mo-electrical coupling when an ice
berg crossed the horizon at a dis
tance OF six knots. Expecting offi-
cial aid. M. Larigaldie Is fully con-
fident he can greatly improve his
apparatus and that 1t will be rap
idly adopted by all ocean going
ships.

feet shapes, all exactly alike, and
bake bread. In the laundry cleo
tricaI machines wash and dry

Duplication of Utilities
In the depths OF the ship are
the great motors that provide the
driving power. And in every part
of the great fighting craft are
lights that feed on electric cur
rent.
The New Mexico is said to con-
tain $4,000 miles of electric wir-
ing. The superdreadnaught is
therefore so scientifically fitted,
and it's construction so up to date
that any order can be executed in
few minutes after it has been
flashed from the captains bridge.
Great care has been taken in
all the designs, finished machines
and war equipment, to have prac-
tically everything duplicated.
Within a few seconds after some
vital equipment is put out OF com
mission in time of battle, its ef-
fort could be duplicated with an
other device.
The total horsepower energy re-
quired cooperate the New Mexico
is 32,4S0. There are seven oil
burning boilers. fed by slightly
warmed fuel under pressure. Each
boiler has seven burners, and IL
takes only the turn Of a screw to
bring a boiler into commission.
The great flagship has two main
turbine generators, each with 17,-I
00Ohorse power. The generators
make 2100 revolutions a minute.
The current they generate is con-
veyed to four driving motors, each
with a capacity of about 5000
horse power. These motors oper-
ate the shafts of the vessels four
propellors, giving the huge sea
monster 21 knots an hour when
running full speed.

Buckwheat and Cakes,

Even though there is great sarisfac
ton at the breaking of five crop records
in the tinted States this year, many
an American must heave a sigh as he
reads that the buckwheat crop has
never exceeded the production of 1856,
and that tbs season it is S,O0o,ON
bushels below the top yield of that
year. Who does not know that the de-
cline of the buckwhpat cake as the
backbone Of a hearty breakfast is the
cause Of the falling Off:
The huckwheat cake was once an
American institution. 1t followed the
pioneer from the Atlantic coast into
the depths of the Middle West Its
allies were homemade Sausages and
sugar-housc syrup. II held the lines
from early November until the sap be-
gan to run in the spring. Then there
followed plentiful doses Of sulphur
and molasses TO rid the blood of i'm

States to Canada. They say $4,000

Maybe so. But when we look up
our own immigration figures it APP
pears that, up TO about October /,
something over 10000 Canadians
lhiked over to the United States with
their worldly goods. At best, the fdsS
of this country is about 10000 peo-
pie, which is only one in every ten
thousand of our population. You can
quickly estimate how serious the loss
il when you reflect on what it means
when one person moves away from 4
town of 10000 inhabitants.
Incidentally, the 10000 net that we
lost TO Canada is just about the num-
her of people who moved from only
one western state to California last

Canada is a fine country, if. you
can stand the climate and our neigh

pie. We begrudge them nothing.
