LARGEST FROZEN
FISH SHIPMENT
OF SEASON OUT
Salmon and HaIibuf Total
ing 372,7Q7 Pounds
Sent on North Coast

Stevedores were busy from 10
O'Clock Wednesday night to sailing
time at 10 o'clock last night loading
the holds of the North Coast with
the largest shipment of frozen fish
to clear from Juneau wharves this
season.
A total Of 372,797 pounds of frozen
salmon and halibut were trans
fererd from the refrigerating rooms
of the Juneau Cold Storage Com
pany for shipment TO markets
abroad and in the States.
Largest portion OF the cargo is
destined for foreign markets in
France and England, 305200 pounds
consigned there. The remainder will
be sold through domestic outlets.
The heavy shipment is partially
accounted for by the seasonal up
swing of the fish market.

BY ALEXANDER II. GEORGE

~ WV
WASHINGTON Little boats that
look like toys are playing the first
important role in the development of
Uncle Sans bigger and better fleet.
These boats are tiny models of the
super dreadnoughts, the speedy
cruisers and the giant airplane car
riers which are to be built under
the billion dollar naval expansion
program.
Naval engineers at Washington's
historic navy yard are making scien-
tific tests of the water behavior" of
these models in order to determine
the performance possibilities of var
ious types of warship hulls. particu-
larry their FRACTIONAL and wave-mak-
ing resistance.
The underwater bodies of the
model boats are exact small-scale
representations of the proposed hulls
for war vessels, their resistance to
propulsion being relatively identical
with the resistance of the big ships.
Show Power Needed
The amount of pull required to
move the little boats through the
water at different speeds is record
ed by special instruments. With
these measurements, the engineers
can determine how much engine
power battle ship with similar
hull will need to travel at various
desired speeds.
The tests, engineers say. have
proved to be SO per cent accurate as
indicators of actual performance.
So, no naval vessel of consequence
is constructed without tests at the
experimental basin.
A Acton carriage, a sort Of trav-
cling crane which runs from one end
to the other and lows ship model
at any speed desired up to Is knots,
has q dynamometer which registers
the amount of pull required to pro-
pei the model at various speeds.
Some models are fitted with small
propellers rotated by electric motors.
Propeller performance is studied
with a view to developing the maxi
mum in ship-driving efficiency.
Speed Increases Resistance
Friction between the skin of
ship and the water is the cause of
nearly all the resistance to propul-
sion at low speeds. The waves made
by a ship travelling at low speeds set
up practically no resistance but
when the speed is increased the re-
sistance increases rapidly. For ex-
ample, the Leviathan had no wave
making resistance at knots but at
% knots that resistance was 35 per
cent.
In testing projected battle ship
hulls, naval engineers try out 20
or more different shaped bows,
usually several years ahead OF actual
designing. Some models now being
tested may not be Incorporated in
ship design for 10 years.
Meanwhile, a new $3,500,00 model
testing station for the navy is being
built at Cardarock, Md, few miles
up the Potomac from Washington.
Expected to be the finest plant OF
its kind in the world, it will have
four basins of varying dimensions.
Just a Small Drop
Model boat testing is only a small
drop in the big bucket of naval
planning. Building a 35,000-ton, $70,-
100000 battle ship. crammed with
intricate machinery and bearing
ponderous turrets and gigantic guns,
calls for 10 separate preliminary
design studies and requires from four
to six years time.

and sedition legislation threatening
civil liberties of all Americans. This
legislation introduced quietly and
some of it struggled past on unsus-

strikes and smash unions in a serious

organizations. Dempsey BILL
3. Registration and control of the

4. Deportation of active trade
unionists who are not yet citizens.

an apt description of southern tories,
like Sens. George 3D., Ga.) and
Smith ID, S. c., who belong to the
Democratic party because of heredi-
tary reasons but who have long
since become attached to "the
enemies of liberalism"
when they have succeeded" the
President continued, they have not
infrequently been successful in their
efforts to supplant a Democratic adj
ministration with a Republican adj
ministration. Such happenings,
though they have brought dismay
for a period, have not been suffi-
cient to stop the general and in
evitable movement to make our
country a better country for all of
us rather than to make it lush pas
ture for seekers and holders of spe-
cial privilege"
Following the reading of the Presi-
dents message to the Young Demo-
Gratis the general impression here
was that the blunt warning of the
President would have some effect
on the 1910 Democratic convention
and the preparations leading up to it.
Conservatives by inclination, rath-
er than conviction, will be able to
"rise above principle if the ques-
ton is one of jobs resulting from q
victory at the polls, it is felt. Oppo-
sition of the President or his nom
participation in the 1910 campaign
is sure to spell defeat for the Demo-
cratic nominee.
