Coastal War Craft
 Are Added To Navy

Washington, May 3-The American Navy has just acquired two little war rcraft which for contrated damaging liability are known as the ''Davids" in "a world Of battleShip "Goliaths.' The "ffIcial designation, however. is coastal motor boats.
 : Developed by the British as ''mys- ! tery boats" in the late var they prov ed themselves such venomOus little sea fighters that the American Navy : has decided to try them out.
 In appearance they are simply sheu-like speed-boats such as thrill devotees of motor-boat races every summer. They are built in 40 and 55 foot lengths. the Navy having ac- quired one of each type. They travel at speeds from 30 to more than 40 sea miles an hour.
 These little boats differ from the ordinary racer, however, in that for conditions they are hard to equal Their ordinary method of fighting is to dash at their prey in a cloud of spray and when within range unleash a torpedo. This missile is carried in q trough in the stern and is launched from this position, the boat depend ing on its own speed to carry it . ahead of the torpedo until 1t can veer . to ore side- Usually they only carry . one torpedo, but can carry several when only slow speed is required. For submarines they can carry depth i bombs, which are simply rolled over
 
 the surface. In addition to this they were also used to lay mines in enemy waters during the war, their shallow drat carrying thmem safely over the enemy's fine fields.
 During the British naval attack on sthe Bolshevik strongholds in the Bal ttic in 1919 the motor boats account ed for at least two Bolshevik battle cruisers and a number of destroyers. This took place during the British attack on Cronst adt, when the Brit ish motor boats dashed into the Rus sian harbor under fire. torpedoed the enemy cruisers at anchor and whirled countered enemy destroyers. one of which shot up one of the motor boats. Another of the little boats, dama ged while in the harbor, was blown up by her commander when he got outside.
 They did heroic service during the British attack on the German subma- rine bases at Zebrugge. where they bombarded the enemy batteries with mortars. Their most deadly enemies were aircraft. which being more speedy were able to cause them some trouble. The launches carried an as sortment of machine guns for this foe and even beat off attacks from the air.
 The Navy will try them out as soon as the fuel allowance permits.

Egyptians Peeyed Over Framing Of
 New Constitution
Rv ALEXANDER R. KHOORI, International News Service Special
 Correspondent.


 Alexandria, Egypt, May 3.-There is great dissatisfaction here concern ing the methods adopted in the fran ing of the new Egyptian Constitution. The task Of drawing up the Constf- tuition has been entrusted to a com- r.1ittee of three lawyers, and there have been long protests from orgai- cations of Egyptians, who believe that this task should be given to a legis- Iatiyc body.
 Despite reports to the contrary the path ahead of Sarwat Pasha and his Cabinet is not an easy one, for there are many leaders who are urging that there can be no real peaceful in dependence in Egypt until Zagh1oul is returned. The ZaghlouliSts are using the exile of their leader as a talking point in a campaign to con vince the people that the promises of the British Empire are not to be trusted.
 Although many of the most tnflu- ential political leaders are offering their support to Sarwat 1t Is fact in favor of the Zaghiloulists is strong and growing. The masses feel that if Zaghloul were in Egypt and permit ted to represent his followers that there would be greater confidence in tE proposals for the independence of Egypt.
 Stunts are the chief opponents of ZaghlouI, and they are held in re- straint only with great difficulty, Frequent demonstrations are staged by these student Zaghluolists, but thus far there has been little or no actual conflict with the police.

Pipes are usually smoked in the country, or when the smokers are at home reading. Women mostly prefer the fine cut tobaccos, but we have lately had big demand for the coarser blends. Shell briars are the pipes mainly in request.
 British women no longer ask for scented cigarettes. and the Russian variety has entirely gone out of fla vor. But they all like mild tobacco and delicate aroma Moreover, we have to take special precaution that teeth do not get discolored.
 When a woman first comes to us we ask her whether her sense of taste or smell is the more acute. Then we have to blend accordingly. Some tobaccos we have to blend sole 1y for smell.
 We have three thousand and four teen different blends on our books. Fifty per cent. of these are for women
