thus expanded to, desired diameters then
are lowered over smaller members, upon
which they are shrunk. AS the hot
metal cools it grips the forging, upon
which it is shrunk under enormous
pressure. Ten of these ,forgings. are
assembled into one composite-the To-
inch war gun, goliath armament of the
United States Navy. ~
An 8-inch gun weighs 10 tons and
fires 260-pound proiectile. A l2-inch
gun tips the scale at Sc tons and shoots
a deadly charge of 870 pounds of metal
The 14-inch, gun has a volume of Sc
tons, a muzzle velocity OF $500 feet a
second and a maximum range of $4,000
yards. .... .
Naval ordnance of any ship of the
American fleet which needs overhaul
ing may be sent to Washington, either
by water or rail, from the drydock
where that particular vessel is under
going repairs. The maintenance opera
tionS at the ordnance base must be
conducted speedily, as all repairs are
made on schedule, ana the work is
rushed to the limit, in order not to
keep the big battleship or cruiser wait
ing for her fighting equipment after all
the other repairs are completed. Usually
the guns need to be rerifled or equipped
with new liners.
The machinery installation in the
huge gun factory includes 10 mighty
lathes, ranging in size from 102 inches
swing by 100 feet long to 100 inches
swing to 204 feet long. These machines
are driven by electric motors OF vary
| ing capacities, ranging up as high as
| 100 horsepower One Of the lathes is
extraordinary, in that it has feed
screw which is 5 inches in diameter and
| 202 feet long. This screw is made in
| two sections, which are joined together
so expertly that the average layman
cannot discover the union. Two rif1ing
machines of amazing efficiency are
adapted for handling the heaviest rifles
made.

almost human intelligence, lift and

| power muscles. They are operated from
! central control stations, where pilots,
by means of many electrified levers,
make the burden-be do their bid
ding. Three of the largest cranes carry
loads which would test the capacity of
a small freight train.
Huge guns which weigh as much as
some Office buildings are moved from
delivery cars or ships to lathes and
from lathes to electrified furnaces with
ease and dexterity. After the ordnance
is repaired it is loaded on barges and
freighted down the Potomac River to
Dahlgren, Va. the ordnance proving
ground of the Navy. There the repaired
guns are tested under firing conditions
more severe than any ever Experienced

him.
They hurried down to the yard. The
shot had awakened the Waterman and
they found him numbering about con-

The three bent over the still figure
and the Waterman struck a match.

high, historical. Its Dennis O'Brien's
son. Jimmie!"
The body was brought into the house
Blood was streaming from the left
side Mr. Sinclair felt for the pulse;
then looked at the face that must
have been ruddy only few minutes
before. The linen bleacher was OPP
pressed with a sense Of guilt. If this
was a thief it did not show in the
youths face.

said slowly. "And I didn't think his
son would turn to-what he did"

voice shaky. And thought him

THE police came with the coroner.
- "A search or the yard was made.
On the ground near where Jimmie had
fallen a claSp-knife was found.
On the horn handle were his initials.
All about the yard lay bundles of
linen, tied up apparently in haste.
The extinguished lantern, as well as
the knife, WE'RE identified as belonging
to Jimmie
They we're identified by his father,
who had been summoned. The far
mer's face was almost as white as his
sons. The death of his son was not
the only tragedy that was his that
night. When the police asked him If
he recognized the knife and the lans
tern, the farmer slowly nodded.

No one could doubt his sincerity;
few would have had the heart to re-
fuse him. Halloran heSitated.
But what will your father say?" he
asked.
"He-he needn't know. I've lost
other things"
And Jimmie insisted so hard that
finally Halloran pocketed the knife.
"All right" he said. IT shall prize
your gift all the more because your ini-
tials are on the knife. But what I
came to ask you is ttis-will you have

THAT evening Mr.. Sinclair dined at
home and was, as usual, waited on
by Halloran. The two men, while Hall
loran served, discussed the thefts,
which for the time seemed to have
stopped.

time as of late" Mr.. Sinclair yawned
I'VE seem to have scared the thieves

Halloran said as his employer rose to

small unit of what it is now-was re-
sponsible for the conversion OF smooth
bore guns into rified armament and the
substitution of cylindrical-pointed pro-
jectiles for the historic round shot used
formerly. From then to now it has fos-
tered the cherished traditions, ideas and
ideals of our Navy and has originated
ordnance masterpieces of eyerincreas-
ing efficiency.
During peace time. in order to maintain
its skeleton organization in prime condi-
ton for expansion if war should develop,
the great gun factory manufactures mail
boxes for the Post Office Department,
paper currency plates for the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing and various
repair parts for the aircraft which
now deliver our mail from here and
there to distant points by air.
These activities are sidelineS to the
major work of maintaining huge war
guns for our biggest battleships fit for
lighting.

BY GEORGE DACY.

" VEN when the dove of peace has
l. backed the dog of war into tenn
porary oblivion, the mammoth
IL gun factory at the Washington
Navy Yard maintains its forging
fires at industrial temperatures.
It's national assignment of keeping
our naval armament fit for fighting is
apparently unending.
This important business OF making
new guns and repairing old ones is
stupendous. When naval amicability
patrols the seven seas and when Uncle
Sans tars rest temporarily from the
duties of war, the ordnance of Americas
fleet is allowed neither to rust nor to
deteriorate. Our peacetime fleet con-
sists of Is battleships. 8 armored
cruisers, IL scout cruisers, in excess of
300 destroyerS and over 80 submarines.
The maintenance of the ordnance of
this feet is vital and big job.
The largest gun factory of the United
States Government Is in more ways
than one an industrial miracle designed
to shrink on short notice from great
giant into midget's shadow-and then
on demand to swell to maximum ca
pacity again as though by magic. Dur
ing hectic war days it is qualified to
work 10000 men and to produce $685.
10000 worth of ordnance year. When
peace pilots the sea it shrinks to per-
sonnet of $500 and does a business OF
only 100000 the annum.
This Washington gun shop is one Of
| the finest plants eXtant, while the roar
| of it's ordnance has reverberated around
| the world. It manufactures a multi
plicity of war gunS-from 1-pounderS
up to Is inches and so caliberS in
length. The largest of these guns

This core of naval ordnance produc-
| ton makes the best war guns ever built
under the Sun--or rather under roofs
of slate, steel, concrete and glass. 1t is
remarkable hub of industrial and
manufacturing efficiency. For as long
as war endures and governments engage
in international strife, the boxing gloves
Iof mortal combat must be supplied &C.
cording to rigid specifications.
The most of us think OF our National
Capital as an immaculate City OF Law
making and Diplomacy, divorced com
pletely from the CRIME of industry ant
SCOT of manufacture. We are amazed II
learn that one of the record gun fac
tories of all creation, massive struc
ture of concrete, brick and steel, COW
ering ga acres, is only one mile from
the United States Capitol.

come to the house quietly and by the
back way, so that Mr.. Sinclair would
not be disturbed
Jimmie used to arrive with the quiet
of one who is taking part in pleasant
conspiracy; and would leave as quietly,
feeling the conspiracy success.
Then the thefts at Sinclair's seemed
to take up Halloran'S whole mind; for
Jimmie had no word from him for a
long time. One noon, however, when
the youth was alone in his fathers field
eating his lunch he saw Halloran APP
proach. Jimmie stood up respectfully
How are you, Jimmie?" Halloran
said in warm greeting. ITS a long
time since you've been to see me-"
II didn't think you had time for
me-" he said.
Like yours, Jimmie, my work day Is
q long one and hasn't much pleasure
in it. But after hours I'm more than
glad to have a chav and bite with a
friend. And an old man like me has
not many friends like you"
At his urging Jimmie resumed eating
while they talked. Suddenly Halloran
asked:
"Where did you get that beautiful
claSp-knlteV
Jimmie wiped the blade and handed
It to Halloran.

birthday"
Halloran examined it with growing
interest JinmieS initials were en-
graved on the horn handle. The more

seemed to like it.

By WILLIAM BRADY. M. d.

of 'enn did. Dad also had hay fever.
These conditionS-and we might include
hives, hyperesthetic rhinitiS, some cases
of periodic sick headache (migraine)
and engioneurotic edema giant hives)
are likely to run in families, the rea-
son for that being failure of the child
to inherit the normal immunity against
incubation by foreign protein.
The child first developed eczema at
the age of 2 weeks, and asthma at the
age of l year. The asthma was almost
constant, and became greatly aggra-
waited when the baby was taken on an
auto ride in the country. His parents
had discovered he had an idiosyncrasy
| against eggs.
The child was given a series of skin
tests, and showed positive reactions to
these items: Egg white, egg yolk, cod
| fish, peas, and strong reaction to silk
| Not so dreadful to worry along without
any of these items, except silk. But 1t Is
wonderful how parents will deny them
selves for the sake of children. The
baby's parents now recalled that when
they took him for ride he always sat
on mammals lap and mamma always
wore her silk coat You'd naturally
think they'd quit taking the baby on
rides. But no. These parents made no
bones at all of discarding all silk from
their lives, even removing silk things
from their home and struggling along
for many weeks without the luxury.
Imagine dad trying to hold up his head
with a mercerized tie oni But think
of the awful predicament of mamma
in Isle hosel Plenty OF parents prac-
tice immolation in bringing up Their
children, but whom do they practice
it on?
Throughout the dreary period the
baby was given homeopathically in
creasing hyperdermic doses of silk in
EQUATIONS. Then the ban on SILK was
lifted and the baby never uttered g
wheeze about it. AS for the eczema
that had disappeared as by magic with
in "a hours after the removal OF silE
from the environment, and along with
it went the worst of the asthma.
In reporting this case DR.. T: Woo
Clarke of Utica reminds us that We
can't always blame it on the country
or the climate If the patient suffers
while out taking a ride.
DR.. Salvatore j. Parlato Of Buffalo
has reported similarly instructive cas-
in which the patient suffered witt
asthma when on excursions back int
the country from her shore residence
The inference would be that she camt
in contact with some pollen, but. b.
some pretty keen study Or. Parlat'
discovered that the patient was sensi
tive to the fuzz or hair on sandhies, anC
with that knowledge he was able u
give relief that could not have beer
possible otherwise.

Reducing.

Reducing.
A woman I know who was suffering
from q combination Of too much fat, q
bad skin and almost constant indiges-
ton was put on the following regime
by her doctor.
Having been told to eat as light a
dinner as possible the night before, she
was given before breakfast next day a
very large close of castor oil with orange
Juice. Following this she had a very
hot cup of coffee and nothing else for
breakfast.
One of the beauties of starting to re-
duce by this method is that you don't
want very much to eat for a time.
Castor oil, as every one knows, is the
ideal internal cleanser. It takes all the
impurities from the system and leaves
it fresh and clean to carry or its work
more efficiently. Lunch following this
consisted simply of a cup of beef tea
and a slice of toast. About four in
the afternoon she was given cup of
hot, weak tea with sugar and lemon and
a slice of toast, and for dinner a soft
boiled egg and slice of toast, and
before she went to bed, as she felt
