SHOWN new DEVICE
TO STABILIZE SHIPS
Naval Engineers See Demonstra-
ton Of Thyratron Equipment
for Large Vessels.

Members Of the American Society OF
Naval Engineers last night witnessed
demonstration of the possibilities Of
stabilizing large ships by means Of
new type Of Thyratron- control equip
ment, utilizing vacuum tubes and o
small gyroscope. ...e
A small laboratory model was used
in the demonstration, which was given
by DR.. Z: r. w. Alexanderson, con-
sulting engineer Of the General Elec-
tric Co., in connection with the naval
engineers banquet at the Willard.
With the model, Or. Alexanderson
initiated the rolling Of large vessel
and showed how his device would not
only re-sore ship to an even keel i'm
mediately, but keep 1t stable regardless
Of wave motion.
His plan calls for the use of fms re-
sembling stream lined rudders and at
tached to opposite sides Of a ship.
These tilt up or down, their movement
being controlled by the gyroscope, which
relays its tiny impulses, greatly ampI-
fed by means of the Thyratron control,
through wires to motors built inside
the fms.
Fins could be installed on existing
ships without great expense, DR.. Alex
anderson explained, and the fms re-
sistAnce to the water Is so slight that
a ship capable of q 23-not-an-hour
speed would be delayed only 40 minutes
in crossing the Atlantic. In a rough
sea, he added, this loss Of time would
be made up by the stabilizers keeping
the ship on an even keel.

Captured in 1881.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A settlement has been made between
the United States and the owners of the
Josephine K, Canadian rum-runner
whose skipper was fatally wounded as
the vessel was captured near New York
harbor in January, 1881.
Negotiations by the Departments Of
State, Justice and the Treasury, with
the Canadian owners, It was learned
yesterday, resulted IN the settlement by
a consent decree, entered recently In
the Southern New York District Court
The Canadian government entered a
protest against the shooting Of the cap
tain. William p. Cluett What attitude

has not been disclosed.
Z Under the settlement the owners, the
Liverpool Shipping Co. OF Nova Scotia,
agreed to forfeiture of the liquor
between 200 and 800 bags on the YES
sci, and more than 1000 bags which
had been unloaded to New York gar
bage scow-and the United States
agreed to take $500 against $4,000
bond. under which the vessel was re-
leased.

as it Is possible for q person in so
marked position to be. Once at camp,
the rule is pretty much "do as you
please" with breakfast to suit the in
dividual rising hour Of each guest, and
the rest of the day left free for the
family and guests to organize their time
as they choose. The only fixed ap-
pointments in the day are before lunch
con and dinner, when everyone meets
in the big lounge for few minutes be-
fore the meal is served.
The President is said to have gotten
enough horseback riding when he was
a mining engineer to last him for the
rest of his life. But Mrs. Hoover Is
never tired Of the saddle, and If you
choose to ride with her she mercifully
tenderfoot to turn back, because II you
follow her you will be taken over the
steepest and rockiest of the trails and
probably come back exhausted.
Likes Puzzles.
Back In time for dinner, Mrs. Hoover
will often hnger to feed her favorite
horses Jumps Of sugar until she has to
hurry to her apartment In order to
emerge fesh and immaculate for dinner.
Music, good talk, books and q garden
are all part Of the play spirit at camp.
Like a good many intellectuals who de-
rive q kind of sophisticated amusement
from some Of the simple word games or
other pastimes that tax the wits, Mrs.
Hoover gets a good deal of fun out of
puzzles and always has some extra hard
ones on hand with which to challenge
her guests.
In short, whether In khaki at camp
or receiving with the President at
state dinner. the present mistress of
the White House has acquitted herself
with such marked distinction that If
President Hoover remains there for an
other term the entire country, regard
less of political leanings, may take gen.
uine satisfaction In the knowledge that
the present hostess at the White House
is to carry on.

chest well with Vicks VapaRub

form, if you prefer. Spread on
thick and cover with warm flannel
Leave the bed-clothing loose around
the neck so that the medicated
vaporS arising can be inhaled all
night long.
If the air-passages are badly
clogged with mucus, melt some
VapoRub in a bowl of hot water
and inhale the steaming vaporS for
several minutes. Of there is a
cough, you will like the new Wick

with ingredients of Vicks Vapo-
Rub.)

for men. Or with regimental
stripes. Others for children have
whole families of ducks (for one
example), swarming over them.
Hand towels, too, are going in for
interesting textures, and they're
often fringed out at the ends. Her
ringbones and basket weaves are
popular as ever. So are damasks.
Often these have striped borders.
Somebody had the colorful
thought of using hand towels that
contrast with bath towels. Al coral
bath towel with a green hand towel,
for instance.
And by the way, these colors, in
both kinds of towels, are deeper
than they've been. Clear jade green
that reminds you of the water you
often see in pictures but seldom in
a real seascape. Daffodil yellow
that has happy effect in bath
room. Powder blue and orchid.
And if you want to be very, very
smart, (and ahead of your neigh
bors), outfit your bathroom in beige
or platinum (silver gray towels.
