new DESIGN OF
CARGO VESSELS
NOW PLANNED
FIRST REQUIREMENT OF DE-
sIGNERs WAS FOR CRAFT
OF SHALLOW DRAFT AND
SMALL COST
Especial to the CIti.e.,

WASHINGTON, Sept. pa
cargo ship of revolutionary de-
sign that can be produced by hun
dreds has been perfected and
shortly will complete its final
tests, according to a statement is
sued by the navy department to-
day.
Conceived by daring minds and
carried to completion with the ac-
tive, insistent help OF President
Roosevelt, the new ship embodies
a novel arrangement of propul-
sion never before similarly used in
ocean-going freighters. Light in
weight, simple in construction,
relatively cheap both in original
cost and upkeep, this craft, it is
confidently believed, will chal-
lenge the submarine and provide
a new bridge from this country to
the free nations of the world.
The first requirement of the
designers was a craft of shallow
draft, and small cost, which could
be produced in large numbers and.
which would reduce the losses,
both in material and manpower,
in time of war. The Sea Otter,
as the freighter is called, will
carry a net 1900 tons of cargo.
The real revolution in design,
however, was wrought in the APP
plication of power A means has
been discovered of driving six
foot propeller, not on the stern of
the ship, but sunk into the water
amidships. No less than sixteen
gasoline engines, such as are used
in propelling motor boats, drive
the. vertical shaft much after the
manner of the cupboard motor.
The engines are of Ito horse
power, six cylinders, developing
total of 1,700 brake horsepower.
The whole propeller assembly can
be hoisted up and replaced while
underway.
"A valuable feature of the SEA
Otter" will be found in its rel
atively small size. It is only go
feet long overall and when loaded,
displaces 1900 tons. Therefore it
can be built at inland yards and
taken to sea by way of rivers or
canals.
The first proposal to build such
a ship was made early this year.
Many objections were raised and
overcome, due to the intense in

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.--Two
divisions of British soldiers have
left Bagdad to join the Russians
in defense of the Ukraine, Berlin
announced today.
The Berlin announcement of
actual British participation in
the war came as London declared
that Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell,
commander of British troops in
India, and Gen. Sir Claude
Auchinleck, commander of the
Middle Eastern forces, have met
at Bagdad to map British par
ticipation in the war.
British soldiers, according to
Berlin, are moving up from Syria,
through Iraq and Iran to join the

JEWISH HOLIDAY
TO Be OBSERVED
YoM KIpPUR WILL BE cELE-
DRAFTED STARTING SUM-
DOWN TOMORROW

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone
ment, will be observed by Jews
from shutdown Tuesday, Septem-
Der 80. to shutdown Wednesday,
October l. On this day, the most
solemn and sacred of the Jewish
calendar, observant Jews will abb
stain from food and drink and
spend the hours in the Synagogue
praying and asking divine for
giveness for sins committed dur
ing the year. Regular services
will be conducted at the local
Synagogue by Rev. l.. Lehrer.
The Day of Atonement brings
to close the "Ten Days of
Penitence," which began with the
New Year. The traditional music
Of the Kol Nidre is heard at the
beginning of the evening service.
and the whole day is given over
to serious meditation and re-
pentance.
The observance of Yom Kippur
goes back to the time when the
Temple stood in Jerusalem. Spe-
cial sacrifices were offered to
God. The high priest recited a
confession of the sins of the ma
ton, ceremony which filled the
worshippers with awe. AT the
sound of the trumpet the people
Frustrated themselves as the high
priest asked Gods mercy and for
giveness for the people
Though altar and the sacrificial
offerings have long disappeared
the observance of the Day is as
challenging now as it was in
ancient days. 1t seeks to lift
mans character to a higher and
loftier plane; its whole liturgy
stresses the necessity of self
sacrifice and repentance. With
the close Of the day those who
have prayed earnestly and have
sincerely asked forgiveness, may
feel themselves cleansed from sin
to begin anew the duties of life.
During the service Of the Day
of Atonement, an hour is set aside
in remembrance of those who
have passed to their eternal re-
ward. This tender memorial
deepens to the solemnity and APP
peal of the day.

ing the stamp of one of the most
formidable quintets to ever invade
this section. Previous to coming here,
the Colonials defeated Richmond
and South Carolina.
A 69-49 victory over Clemson,
their second this season, added to
the Colonials' stature last night and
served warning on Southern Confer

Joe Conner, Matt Zunic and Roy

up 22-6 lead on the Tigers early

the fort when Clemson rallied in

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The owners
of National Football League teams
finally have concluded that it is time
to hire an all-powerful commissioner
to police their prosperous and thriv-
ing sport.
The magnates had hoped to dis
cuss that at an informal and secret

the meeting now is about as secret
as smallpox epidemic The gath
ering still is strictly off the record,
having no status as league meeting
and at which no official business
can be transacted
A committee of league owners
offered the commissioner job to
Arch Ward, sports editor of the
Chicago Tribune, 10 days ago, but
Ward rejected the offer. This is the
second time in two years that he
has turned down the job.
Carl Storck of Dayton, Ohio, is the
president of the league. but reports
that he would be replaced have been
heard ever since he succeeded to the
presidency upon the death of Joe
Carr two years ago.
Each of the owners is reported as
having his own favorite for the
commissioners job, indicating that
a stalemate is quite likely at this
particular meeting. Two of the most
prominently mentioned are John r.
Fitzpatrick of Madison Square Gar
den, New York. and Jim Farley.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15-Babe Ruth

figures out of the folklore of base

that the Stevens brothers are four

half a century ago and became as
much a part of baseball as the
