ferred to the ship as a pocket bat
tleship": and 1t is worth noticing that
that is just about what these new
warships are, in spite of the fact that
technically they are not battleships at
all.
Treaty limitations prevent the build
ing of new capital ships. Neverthe-
less, there is In existence today a ma
val armament race, and in it the
heavy-duty cruiser is the most i'm
portant element. This ship would be
unable to fight for q minute against
. dreadnaught: but since the dread
naught has suffered a decline in rela-
tive Importance, it is the treaty
cruiser which would be apt to bear
the brunt Of the heavy fighting in
any naval war now. These ships are
cruisers, but they may yet have to
till the role additionally filled by
battleShips.

Fbr instance, the New York state
Bulletin Of September q, 1854, listed
q deposit In - Bank for Savings In
the names Of james 4. and Mary
Hackett. Nobody In New York seems
to have noticed or remarked upon
that solitary item, nor to have
grasped an inkling Of the drama
there expressed.
For James Keteltas Hackett. in case
you don't remember, was one Of the
grandest old shakespearean actors Of
his time. He made his debut in the
Park Theater In Philadelphia In
1892, soon became leading man Of the
New York Lyceum, trouped all over
the country doing Hamlet and Mac
beth, took the latter production to
London and Paris, and twice was q
guest at Buckingham Palace. He was
the first to appear on the screen for
Famous Players, making 1.-THE Pris-
oner Of Zenda" in 1912. In 1918, on
Broadway, he put on q play called
"Out There" that netted 3700, 900 for
the Red Cross in three weeks.
In spite Of his accomplishments
and the houors that were heaped on
him when he was active in the the.
alter, Hackett was in Strengthened cir
cumstances when he died about three
years ago. He didn't remember that
he had money In the Bank for Saw
ings. And, apparently, his heirs don't
know it yet.
ART FOR GROCERIES
OF all the New Workers who have
been finding themselves short Of cash,
those least affected by the holiday

to the various mutual exchanges
which have been operating for months
without 50 much as q dime changing

in the Village, hundreds have pledged
their services, their paintings and
their sculptures, in return for neces-
stiles. Grocers, butchers, laundry
men, landlords, dentists, doctors and
lawyers are cooperating and are be-
coming art-conscious as they acquire
pastels, etchings and such In trade.
And at st. Nicholas Arena the other
night, 500 penniless fans bought their

THE TONsIL VOTE Is COUNTED

Last October we invited readers to
tell us their experience with the vari-
Gus methods of tonsil removal. We
particularly desired the opinions OF
patients who have had tonsils re-
moved in the ordinary way (by gull
lotine and snare or by diSsection ana
OF those who have had tonsils re-
moved by diathermy.
The vote Is not all in yet but I
am, and SO we'll call it counted. At
any rate I've counted all can. Too
many who voted in the plebiscite or
referendum seem to consider both the
old Spanish method and the dia-
thermy method not good but not bad.
AS fairly as can tabulate the vote
this Is the way 1t stands:
Sixty-Six readers have had their
tonsils removed by the ordinary
method, guillotine and snare or dis
section. under general anesthesia or
in few cases under local anesthesia,
and they are quite satisfied and con-
slider the method all right.
Fifty-one readers who had tOnSilS
removed by the old standard method,
nearly all under general anesthesia.
report unfavorably and declare they'd
never 60 thru with such an opera
ton again, and some of them claim
they suffered lasting i'll effects from
the operation.
Two hundred eighty-six readers
have had tonsils removed by dia-
thermy and declare themselves, en-
phatically in favor of this method.
Thirty readers have had diathermy
treatment and vote it unsatisfactory.
Besides these votes which were def
mite enough to be tabulated there
were more than 2 hundred which
did not permit of tabulation-voters
still under treatment and hence not
qualified to give mature opinion, or
voters forming judgment from hear
say or without personal experience.
or voters attempting to elucidate good
points and bad points Of both meth
DDS.
The result of the plebiscite indi-
Gates that the diathermy method Is
most popular among our readers.
In another talk we shall analyze
the vote and give some Of the rea-
sons assigned by the voters for their
preferences.
Besides the vote cast, the invitation
brought out some excellent criticisms.
For example:
"Your wisecracxing knocks
against skillful surgery are fur
nishing excellent ideas for adver-
Using doctors or quacks, who
appear to have taken up tonsil
coagulation by diathermy.
That's too bad, Of course, but ! can
not remain silent lest quacks twist
my teachings to their advantage. I
constantly try to make credulous lay
men understand that II a doctor or
specialist Is good his satisfied patients
and his medical colleagues will see
that he Is kept busy. II he Is not 50
good he has to use other means TO
attract the unwary public.
81 am confident that the ma
jority OF the testimonials In this
referendum you announce Will be
from people who have not had
good tonsu surgery. Those salts
fled with results from surgery will
not, g q rule, waste time to reply
to such questionnaires."
This Is . valid criticism. It y quite
true that people generally remain 81
lent about medical skill that has given
satisfactiou-but then. my comments
must have provoked quite few peo-
pie to break that silence.

that the money exists. Meanwhile,
the accounts are carried forward year

This isn't true of New York, how.

who have gone down to the sea and

Attended by good crowd, mem bers of the, Girls Scouts yesterday afternoon were hostesses at a pub lie silver tea given in the Pres byterian Church Parlors, which was a success both financially and so- cially. The members of the Cir Scouts were delighted with the patronage given their first public venture and those attending thor oughly enjoyed the delicious food and interesting and entertaining program presented during the tea hours.
 The program, which was under the direction of Mary Campbell Rogers, began with a short talk on the routine and activities of camp life which was interspersed with amusing incidents of the first Girl Scout camp held at Eagle River recently, given by Miss Mar garet Sanborne. The second fea- Iture was a Schottische dance by Miss Carol 1-ansSn and Miss Viola Converse which was we'll received A three-act comedy, Enter the Hero" provided amusing entertain ment and the five girls in the cast gave excellent performances Those taking part were the Miss es Nancy Ann Kann, Alice Curtis, Emily Dalton, Margaret Sanborne and Lillian Kiloh.

 Miss Stewart was assisted ir planning the tea by Mrs. Frank Metcalf, chairman of the troop committee, Miss Marian Linehan and Miss Rogers, who is assisting her during the summer as heuten- ant of the troops.
