The modern dreadnought, able to

gunfire, and protected with heavy
armored decks from bombs from

eleven miles away. The one-ton
bomb Of the Army Air Service. de-
signed to explode beneath the water,

crush in the bottom of most modern
ships of war. A two-ton bomb has
been developed, which is thirteen
feet six inches in length, capable,
the general believes, of lifting a
dreadnught bodily out of the water

With such weapons as these and
an efficient air force at strategic
points, General Mitchell claims no
enemy fleet could safely approach

(By International News Service)
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. lit is the
observation of Mrs. .. Scott Parrish,
of Richmond, Va, and president
of the city's Y. w. c. A., that the
girl of a score of years ago got
just as much pleasure out of ex-
ceeding the social speed limit as
does the girl of today, and that at
heart she was just as blase and
took just as many chances as the
modern girl with bobbed hair and
never-tiring vivacity.
"Inwardly the girl of twenty years
ago loved all the things our modern
girl does, She took just as many
chances, but she was less open about
it and consequently got by, as
we would say today" declared Mrs.
Parrish in an interview here, where
she was attending the Southern Con-
ference OF the Y. w. G.. A.
Mrs. Parrish, who is a mother,
said she could not agree with the
popular version regarding the pres
ent generation.
But our bobbed hair, never-tir-
ing vivacious girl of today will be
the mother of tomorrow and she
will make good one. | cannot be-
lieve otherwise.
81 have all confidence in our
happy-g o-lucky, frank and above
board girl of today" continued Mrs.
Parrish. "She has so many virtues
that typify the real American girl"

rom Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly
 First take half a dozen large baboons and fit around the middle of each an iron belt with ring at the top. Then attach chains to the rings and suspend the balloons above an amphitheatre dike the Roman Coliseum, for instance) so that they will dangle in air in circle, but too far apart to reach and attack one another. Then bring into the ampht- theatre cages filled with white geese. And lastly, an elephant with his Iu- dian trainer.
 Then, when the amphitheatre seats | are filled, the white geese cackling, the baboons chattering and trying to climb up their chains, and the hot sun shining down on it all the train T CT gives the command, the elephant sticks his trunk into one of the cages. pulls out goose, whirls it in the air, and filings it through the dangling circle of balloons. This maneuver he repeats with one goose after another. The baboons, furious at their treatment, grab at the geese and when they catch one, kill it and tear it apart.
 In doing this they begin to swing on their chains. and presently two get near enough to seize each other. Then they fight until one or the other or both are Killed. The game con- tinues-the elephant cunningly throwing the geese, the baboons catching and tearing them into a mass of bloody feathers, or missing them. to sending them quacking about the arena. the great monkeys fighting-until all are dead, or no more can reach and kill the others
 This, according to Mir. F. L. Whites new novel, "Andivius Hedulio," was a characteristic Roman notion of good out of door sport in the latter days of the empire.
