the worlds second largest vessel, the
Leviathan.
For the purpose of comparison, the Ma
jestic might be likened to floating town,
with homes for $500 people, since she will
have capacity for carrying that number,
including 400 passengers and crew of
about 1,1O0. She will have quarters for
about 1000 passengers in first cabin, 700
in second, and 2,4OO in third.
The space in the great ship, occupied by
her housing facilities, so to speak, and her
engines and other machinery, is equal to
that in 400 average detached suburban
residences of eight rooms each, or of about
800 average four-room apartments.
To accommodate its passengers with
sleeping quarters, the ship will have 1,245
staterooms- these being 472 in first cabin,
212 in second, and 81 in third-besides
enclosed dormitories for single men and
single women respectively in the latter
class.
The staterooms range from a neat little
one-bed room for single traveller to
elaborate suites of half a dozen rooms
each, with parlor, private sun verandah,
dining room and bedrooms, with private
baths.-Ex.

WORLDS LARGEST SHIP

the new ship for the White Star Lines
Southampton Cherbourg New York
Service. Her 4S boilers will consume $500
tons of liquid fuel in a single crossing,
and her storage tanks will have capacity
for a round voyage supply.
About 275 men, from chief engineer to
boiler-room attendants, will be required to
run the huge power plant, as against the
46O men who would be required if coal
were burned.
Under normal conditions, the four tur-
bines of the Majestic driving as many
propellers, will attain a speed of 23 knots
and under favorable conditions they may
make 26 knots.
Passenger accommodations will be in
stalled for 4,100 persons.
When the Majestic is put into service
next Spring, the White Star line will have
three giant liners of $4,000 or more tons
each, the Majestic, Olympic and Homeric
(ex-Columbus). Shipping men are agreed
that ships of this size must run in trios,
in order to operate economically and secure
the greatest amount of public attention.
Dimensions of all kinds on the great
ship are Gargantuan.
The hull itself, for example, if stood on
end beside the Woolworth Building, would
tower 164 feet above that champion sky
scraper.
Four times around the ships promenade
deck is mile.
Two trains could pass abreast through
one of her three smoke stacks, which are
thirty feet in diameter.
The tops of these stacks are IA feet
above the waterline of the ship and 1874
feet above the keel, or a total height about
equal to that of an ordinary history
building:
When the lookout in the topmost crows
nest on the foremast climbs into his place
by means of ladder inside the mast
he will be 1870 feet above the water, in the
loftiest lookout perch ever carried on
steamship.
To make journey from the upper deck
to the lower hold one would have to travel
down nine decks. To facilitate passage
from deck to deck the ship is equipped
with electric elevators one being fitted in
the engine room.
The public rooms of the ship are great
halls in dimensions, with clear spaces and
lofty ceilings not usually associated with
marine architecture The lounge has a
ceiling 26 feet high, and its floor dimen-
sions are Is by 81 feet. The main dining
room has an area of more than a quarter
of an acre, or 1856 feet, being III feet
long by 90 feet wide. Its ceiling over an
area of $500 feet is 81 feet high. A
restaurant for first class passengers is 110
feet long by 81 feet wide, with ceiling
q feet high There is an unbroken view
through the centre of these apartments ESQ

AS to size she will stand alone, since
she is nearly 10000 tons larger than the

KEEP OVERLOOKING THE BET.

1t is evident that the people of Kenosha, and
especially men vitality interested in the devel-
opment of better transportation facilities,
have not paid much attention to the demands
of the Kenosha harbor, or they have not been
successful in bringing the needs Of Kenosha to
the government engineers, as the report of the
engineers made public in Washington this af-
ternoon suggests an appropriation of but $4,000
for the Kenosha harbor. This means the bare
amount which is necessary for the mainte-
nance of the harbor, and it includes nothing
for the betternent of it. There is no sugges-
ton of a survey to see just how the Kenosha
harbor may be improved, no suggestion Of a
development which would make it -of greater
value in furnishing more transportation facili-
ties.
vi course, the government engineers do not
pay great deal of attention to harbors at
places where the people most vitally interested
show no effort to claim their attention. This
same report suggests an appropriation of
Sl20,000 for the ManitoWoc harbor It sug-
gests similar amount for the improvement of
the harhor at Green Bay AFox River is to get
Sl8O,00O, Sturgeon Bay $4,000, st. Joe, Mich
igan, $4,000; Manistee gets $34,500.
In fact, the suggested appropriation for Ke-
nosha is the smallest named in the district re
CARELESS of the fact that Keonsha is one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, industrial center
in the district outside of Milwaukee.
Recommendations for harbor appropriations
do not just grow in the minds Of the govern
ment engineers. They are planted and fos-
tered by people who take personal interest in
these harbofs Government engineers are busy
men, and they have no time to go out and look
for chance to spend the money of the federal
government. They must be coaxed cajoed and
humored, and above all, they must be convinced
that local communities are worthy of expendi-
lures being made.
Kenosha has not taken one definite action to
urge the Improvement of the Kenosha harbor
Some people seem to think that the harbor is
unnecessary, but it is certain that these people
are looking through very 'short distance"
glasses. II Kenosha gets a $4,000 appropria-
ton for the maintenance Of the harbor, it is
just an indication that Kenosha is taking
$4,000 interest in it's own development. Mani
towoc is taking $4,000 interest.

STREETS
BY BERTON BRALEY

You like straight streets that are met
aled and paved
And lead to definite place,
Trim, regular streets that are we'll be-
haved
And easy to map and trace
They lead from home to your daily job
And back to your home again,
Broad streets worn smooth by hum
drum mob
Of patiently Flooding men.
But 1 like streets that are queer and
quaint
That lead-well, know not where;
That dwindie at length to a trail that's
faint,
Where the wandering pilgrims fare.
You like the streets where you can't
get lost,
I'm fond of them where I can,
The wavering, aimless road, Embossed
By the practical paving man."
You like the streets that from end to
end
Are old familiar ways,
love the byways that wend and wend
Till lost in the distant haze;
So keep your street that is straight and
fine,
carefully measuredtrack,
And I'll light-heartedly follow mine,
All over the world and back

be exchanged for the best securities issued in

1t would be wonderful advance in the great
thrift movement if every one of these stamps
could be converted into government bonds to be
laid away and have an earning power for the
future. They form a splendid basis for saw
