most surprising comes when he visits

In all Of downtown Havana. with its
population Of some 100000, space is
at a premium. Streets are narrow
and houses are Joined together and
are flush with the sidewalk. When
the automobile came along many fam

able to pay garage rent, or did not
care to have their machine kept
blocks or even miles away. Praeti-
cally all OF the front entrances have
wide double doors, and so the cars
found parking space indoors. usually

found in an American garage are

presiding over the cabinet session thi;
morning when the socialist party's
ultimatum was to be considered. II

that the governments reply to the
party's demands would not be forth

The socialist demands were formu-

ton declaring the party could re-
main in the coalition government only
on these conditions.
Abolition of the military state OF
emergency; treatment by the govern
ment of the Bavarian government S

dismissal of the supporters of ma

joined the reichswehr.
Want Staple Money
Another resolution passed by the
party provided that the party leaders
demand in their conference with the
government that wages be paid in
future in stable currency and that
the farmers be forced to sell food
stuffs. The resolutions were pre-
scented TO the chancellor and a reply
by noon today was requested.
The newspapers supporting Chan
eellor Stresemann expressed belief
this morning in commenting on the
situation that the demands of the
socialists were so formulated that an
amicable understanding could he
achieved. on the other hand, thu
anti-government press views the do

MARYLAND GUNNERS
perfect MARKSMEN
Hurl 1000 Pound PrOlectile
Through Floating Target

Aboard the L. s. s. Maryland, off
San Pedro, Calf. Nov. IA new
chapter in the history of naval gun
merry was written on floating targets
by projectiles from the superdread-
/ naught Marylands 16-inch rifles, fired
yesterday for the first time in actual
battle practice,
1 Gunners of the Maryland celebrated
/ the initial firing of the big rifles by
hurting a a,Oo0-pound projectile
straight through the bulls-eye Of the
distant target, their second shot split
/ ting the raft squarely in the middle.
Targets were changed twice during
the gunnery drill, yet both sets looked
as though they had been riddled by
! giant buckshot.
During the two runs on the target
all four turrets sent their charges to
the mark with startling regularity.
What officers said was most remark
able, however, was the fact that not
one of the gun pointers ever had fired
shot before. The Maryland's per-
sonnet consists largely of recruits and
more than so per cent OF her gun
crews are inexperienced men.
The firing was accompanied by
spectacular sights. The explosive
necessary to hurl 1000 pounds of
steel several miles within few Sec
ends, rocked and rolled and shook the
1 33,500.ton guperdreadnaught as II II
were a canoe. Port lights and other
( glass were smashed paint was
Clipped from stacks and sides, and.

like so much tin.
Longer Range Next Time.
The short range battle practice was
only an elementary gunnery exercise,
IL was explained by Commander J.,
NJ. Perkins, gunnery officer of the
battle fleet the distance from muzzle
to target being about six miles, Next

from winter mancuvers In the Carib-
bean target shooting at a range ex-
ceeding 10000 yards will be tried.

Washington, d. G, Nov. l.--AeN
Britain had 1855 residents who werr

about two per cent of the 1926
people filing returns in the entire
state, and more than seven per cent
of the 1921 who reported from

Tabulation of the figures Just an

residents of the twenty-five larger
towns and cities of the state, the TO-
tai number of reports from these be-
ing S4,O4l.
Hartford, with 1875 residents
making reports of their incomes to
the government, led the state, with
New Haven, having 1901, a close
second. Bridgeport was third with
1l,467: Waterbury fourth with 1889,
and Meriden fifth with 1895. The
numbers for other cities were: STAN

Mississippi river, now advocated by
business men, conservationists,

League of America, one of the great
est breeding grounds in the United
States will be founded, according to
Will H. Dig, president of the league.
The 309 miles of land stretching
from Lake Pepin, Minnesota. to Rock
Island, Illinois, on the south, consti-'
tute the NEST prolific spawning
grounds for all warm water game
and food fishes, Mr.. Dig said. as well
az an exceptional breeding section for
small game mammals and the great
est hatchery for birds in the country.
He asserted that in 1921 nearly ga
100000 fish were rescued from the
land locked waters of the lands of
this region, which the biological sur.
vey estimated at a value Of $1,000, 600.
Agitation toward setting aside this
section as a preserve began after q
group of real estate operators pro-
posed to dyke and drain the Winne-
shiek bottoms of the Mississippi riv.
er, lying on the Wisconsin side be-
tween De Soto and Lynxville. The
war department had granted permis-
sion to drain the land when it came
to the attention of the league and an
appeal to the supreme court OF Wis
consin temporarily held up the plan,
according to Mr.. dig.

Tightening as well.
The cities manufacturing complete
automobiles and trucks within the
Sixth Congressional District of Mich
igan are Highland Park, River Rouge,
Hamtramck, Lansing, Pontiac and
Flint.
There are within the cities named
81 plants manufacturing complete
automobiles or trucks. There are
probably twice this number of sub
sidiary companies furnishing parts
for the completed production.
Figures Show that there are en-
ployed in these plants, producing
automobiles and trucks 1920 peo-
pie.
They are producing within this
territory 2,S62,S50 completed auto
mobiles or trucks, this number rep
resenting a value of $1,615. 949,245.
Figuring that there is an average
of four person dependent upon every
one employed by the industries, we
find that a total of 532,0S4 people are
entirely dependent upon the indus
tries without taking into considera-
ton the outside factors.
Figuring an average day wage of
$500 per day the 1920 employed
would receive a daily wage totaling
$916,050. or for a years period, using
210 days per year, $247, 333,500.
