INDIAN NAMES FOR WARSHIPS
Suggestion Made That Vessels of the
United States Navy Be Called
After Famous Red Men.
A correspondent of the New York
Times advocates Indlnn nnmes for
United States warships. "How to
nnino the ships of our vnstly extended
navy is an Interesting question. A
- lnnco down the list of the names of
our naval ships does undoubtedly give
the Impression that 'they had been ac
cepted by a weary man as a choice of
evils.
"It seems to me that from the men
of the race longest Identified with our
history the noble red men nnd from
their tribes, most befitting titles could
be found for applying to our warships.
From early childhood the lives of the
foremost Indlnn chieftains have in
spired intense admiration in Ameri
cans. They are the Ideal embodiment
of the greatest naval battle prowess
of their time.
"What names could imply the Idea
I of, indomitable fighting force in the
I American mind equally with Powha
tan, the powerful sachem of Virginia;
or Pontine, "the Red Napoleon," chief
of the Ottawas; or Tecumsch, chief
of the Shnwnecs, or (Shnwnnoes) nnd
celebrated fighter, diplomat, nnd ora
tor; or Black Hawk, noted warrior
chieftain of the Sacs nnd Foxes?"
JUST MATTER OF PERCENTAGE
Legislator Had Figured Out Method
by Which He Voted Right In Ma-
Jorlty of Cases.
During the Inst session of n western
legislature one member, n tnll, angu
lar man with a white mustache of the
walrus pattern and the faculty of be
ing able to throw both his thumbs out
of Joint at wlU, made himself conspic
uous by voting "No" on every bill, res
olution, or other form of business that
came up. However Innocent a meas
ure might be, this man voted ngnlnst it
stentorlously.
Finally n legislator weakened under
the strain nnd approached the gentle
man with tho walrus whiskers.
"Why is It?" asked the man, "that
'you vote 'No on everything?"
"I'll tell you," said he of the walrus
mustache, with a confidential nir. "Seventy-five
of those bills nnd resolutions
are bad and ought never to be passed.
And I flgger that any man who votes
right 75 per cent of the time is n pretty
durncd good legislator."

fThero't a Reason"
In Woman's Realm
Practical Sports Clothes Have Been Designed by the Leading Paris
ian Modistes, of Which This Skating Suit Is a Sample
Bridesmaids' Hats That Have the Sanction of
Recognized Leaders of Fashion.
There are plenty of practical sports
Clothes for those who really take part
in winter pastimes, and there are Just
as many sports -lothes de luxe for
those who dress with an eye to placing
themselves In harmony with their en
vironment These are made to be
looked at and are marvels of adapta
tion of exquisite materials to sports
styles.
A skating suit, shown In the picture,
Is made for real service. It Is a middy
blouse of a special knitted mnterin?
In Scotch colorings, trimmed with u
plain knitted material. The plain
trimming matches the predominating
color In the middy, and the skirt Is
made of the same plain cloth.
For real utility sports clothes, soft,
lightweight but warm materials, like

Jersey and camel's -hair cloth, are
most satisfactory. The sweater goes
without saying ns the most important
feature In the sports outfit, nnd some of
tlie smartest ones have wide belts,
while practically all of them have
pockets. Matched sets Include
sweater, cap, and scarf to match, or

something new, In n long scarf which

Eiderdown is a familiar material
that serves the purpose for making in
expensive sets. In white trimmed with
white yarn It makes a cap, scarf and
bag for the skates, of much distinction.
PRETTY HATS
The henvy yarn Is used for overcnstlng
Reams and edges nnd for tassels which
Qnlsh tho scarf ends and decorate the
rap and bag.
Theso yarns nro used In tho same
way on hats nnd bugs of silk for

novelties is a set of lint and bag of
bluo silk lined with gold. Blue and
gold yarn overcasts all tho seams in
the bng and in tho crown of tho'hat.
The tassels, of the some yarns, nro
fastened to tho top of tho hat and tho
bottom of tho bng with snap fasteners,
and may bo removed so that the set
may be worn either side out, Mustard

chooses It. Ait Indian summer setting,

than June when all the details of the

In the three hats shown In the Illus

herself or for hei maids, that cannot
go wrong. Each one of them repre
sents a tjpo recognized as appropriate
In any season. The largest hat, with

ever-present metallic touch appears In
the lacing of sliver cord across tho
crown nnd In a heavier cord of sliver
on the brim. Large, full-blown metal

nlze beautifully with the gray velvet

ropes of silver he Is a hardened and

It has a soft puffed crown nnd n brim

UNCLE SAM'S AIDS
SOLVING PROBLEMS
Experts of Bureau of Standards
Coming Into Close Touch
With People.
SCIENTIFIC WORK 8F VALUE
Governmental Agency, Little Known
In Past, Proving Bio Help to Man
ufacturer, Business Man and
Housewife.
The bureau of standards Is one ot
I'liele Sam's numerous governmental
agencies with which the great mass
of people of the country have come
little Into touch lu the past, but as
manufacturers and business men
throughout the country are coming to
understund the value of applied sci
ence, the work of this bureau Is be
coming of more and more importance
to the people.
The scope of the bureau Is varied,
and not only Is It proving a great help
to'the manufacturing and business ele
ments of this country, but to thu
housewife as well.
The bureau has not so long ngo
completed an investigation of elec
tricity and the danger of fatal acci
dents from electric currents and from
lighting. It has worked out the safe
guards and precautions to be taken
to avoid such accidents. It has re
cently constructed a building contain
ing fill panels of practical size, com
posed of nil kinds of cements nnd plas
ters, and subjected them to weather
exposure1 tests to determine the best
materials obtainable for use In build
ing construction. Tests are now being
made also with full-sized walls to learn
which construction Is the most resist
ing to lire.
Testing Structural Steel.
Tho bureau has undertaken the' test
ing of full-sized structural steel gird
ers and columns for buildings and
bridges. With these tests completed
will come positive knowledge of the
laws governing these members.
On the recommendation of the bu
reau, congress has provided for the
important practical work of color
standardization, which affects the In
dustries which produce dye-stuffs, Inks,
porcolnlns, paper and paints. There
has been no scientific means hereto
fore of specifying color In terms of di
rect measurement.
When It was found that nearly two
billion dollars In freight rates were
being collected on railroad track scales
beyond the capacity of the Instruments
of state and county Inspectors to
make tests, the bureau obtained from
congress a special fund to co-operuto
with the manufacturers of such scnjrs,
with the railroads and with the. In
spectors. This was primarily In the
Interest of the shipper, who wns en
titled to know from nn olllclal source
that such scales were accurate. Dur
ing one year 08 per cent of the scales
were found to be defective.
Standards for Public Utilities.
Work Is proceeding by olllclal h of
the bureau on the development of mod
el standards for such things us elec
tricity and gas and for other formsf
public utilities, to assist the public
utility commissions, who net for the
people, in making such service most
elllclent nnd uniform.
A Iendless glaze has been found by
experts of tho fturenu to prevent the
truly terrible effects of lend poisoning
In pottery works, heretofore exacting
a vast toll In sick und injured.
A very Important work which the
bureau has begun to develop within
a -short time Is tho manufacture of op
tical glass from American materials.
Heretofore optical glass was exclusive
ly Imported from abroad. These are
only u few of the mnny Interesting
things that are going forward by one
of Uncle Sam's most Interesting bu
reaus. GIVE INVENTIONS TO PUBLIC
Uncle Sam's Scientists Gain No Per
sonal Profits From the Results
of Their Investigations.
Uncle Sam's experts nro always"
busy trying to Jnvent some new way
of doing an old thing nnd doing it
better than It was done before. Theso
experts gain no personal profits how
ever valuable their discoveries may
be, for the results of their work nro
given to the public.
Twenty-nine vnldablo Inventions nnd
discoveries were mnde by tho scien
tists of the department of agriculture
alone during thu last, fiscal year and
nil .were dedicated to the public.
In accordance with the policy of tho
department, its workers, when they
discover valuable processes or devices,
obtain what Is popularly known as a
public-service patcut, tho chief pur
poso of which, is to prevent nnybno
else from patenting the Invention. This
Insures to tho public the free uso of
theso processes nnd tho investigational
work of tho department.

Tho stand of timber on tho two
great national forests in Alaska is es

You Must Have Plenty of Iron in Yoay
Blood to Be Strong, Says Doctor
. 'uxnted Iron .Will Incrcnsc Strength of
Delicate, Nervous, Run-Down Peo
ple 200 Per Cent In Ten Days
In Many Instances.
New York, N Y. Most people fool
ishly seem to think they ate going to
get renewed health and strength from
some stimulating medicine, secret nos
trum or narcotic drug, said Ir. Saner,
a specialist of Ibis city, when, as a mat
ter of fact, real and true strength can
only come from the food you eat Hut
people often fall to get the strength out
of their food because they haven't
enough Iron In their blood to enable It
to change food Into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they
know something Is wrong, but they
can't tell what, so they generally com
mence doctoring for stomach, liver or
kidney trouble or symptoms of some
other tillment caused by the lack of
Iron lu the blood. This thing may go
on for years, while tho patient suffers
untold agony. If you are not strong or
well, you owe It to yourself to make
tho following test: See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take
two live-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxatcd Iron three times per day nfter
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I have
seen dozens of nervous, run-down peo
ple who were ailing all tho while,
double nnd even triple their strength
