AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING
"Jost about two year ago, some
Sana af humor appeared on my scalp.
Tfca beginning was a slight Itching but
It grew steadily worse until, when I
arabed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
voald be wet with blood. Most of the
date there was an intolerable itching,
la a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad. raw burn. If deep, will Itch

HE modern battleship Is
a marvel of concentra
tion and space economy.
There is no room for
things purely ornamen
tal, but every foot of
space is used to some
purpose in connection
with the storage or op
eration of the myriad ad
juncts necessary for the
work, the safety ami tne
comfort of the hundreds of men who
crowd one of these floating fortresses.
If one were to choose, however, the
one section of a battleship which
aLove all others is a veritable nest of
wonders and surprises choice would
unhesitatingly fall upon the "bridge"
that elevated structure which Is so
appropriately named and which ex
tends the full width of the deck on the
forward part of the ship In front of
the huge smokestacks, as a "land lub
ber" might designate its location.
For one thing, wo find on the
bridge an even greater array than any
where else on the ship of those re
markable mechanical and electrical
devices which do so much of the
work on shipboard that would seem
to require human intelligence. But
the bridge has in addition a spe
cial significance which multiplies
many times its importance and the
interest of its equipment It is the
"nerve center" of the ship, the seat of
authority and command which directs
all the operations within the bounds
of the big armorclad. and also the in
telligence office through which this
warship community communicates
other vessels of the fleet and. indeed,
with the entire outside world.
Under ordinary conditions when
the battleship is cruising at sea. par
ticipating in battle drill or target prac
tise or engaged in any of the other
important functions of a sea warrior
the captain commanding, the navigat
ing officer and other responsible offi
cials of tli ship have their positions
on the bridge. In time of actual battle
those directum heads of the fighting
machine would not expose themselves
on the bridge, but they would not be
far away. Sheltered by conning tow
ers or some other, protective screens.

they would be as near as possible to the vantage
points to be found only on the exposed bridge
and from those substitute observatories some of
them located directly behind or otherwise adja
cent to the bridge would direct the action of the
battling armorclad.
In order to enable the officers on the bridge to
be at all times closely in touch with all parts
of the ship this elevated promenade Is made the
nerve center of elaborate telephone, telegraph
and signaling systems that afford instantaneous
communication uith the engine and fire rooms,
the ammunition magazines, all the different "gun
stations" throughout the ship, and. In fact, every
scene of activity that has part in the complex
mission of one of these great fighting machines.
The telephone system on a battleship is much
like the private telephone system in a great store
or manufactory, but with the difference that on
shipboard most of the receivers are of the pattern
which fit close to the head, covering both ears
and strongly resembling those used by the hello
girls in telephone exchanges. This special equip
ment is designed to shut out disturbing noises
and is very essential when officers and men may
be called upon to listen to telephone conversation
when the guns are roaring or against the opposi
tion of the various distracting noises always to
be encountered on shipboard.

Near the bridge of a battleship Is the wireless
telegraph ttation which is one of the newer yet
easily one of the most important adjuncts of the
up-to-date battleship. However, the wireless tele
graph is not used for interior communication
aboard the battleship but solely for the exchange
of messages with other ships and with shore sta
tions. What are sometimes referred to as "tele
graphs" on shipboard are not telegraphs at all.
as the lav reader understands them, but are
rather signaling systems. The most common of
these communicative systems is that whereby the
pressure or a button or lever at one station on a
battleship say en the bridge will cause a print
ed command to suddenly appear in illuminated
form in a distant part of the ship. For Instance,
the movement of a certain lever on the bridge
of the battleship v. ill cause an illuminated sign
to smldcnlj appear before the eyes of the rngi
noers. "way down brtlow the water line, reading.
"Full Speed Ahead." or "Full Speed Astern." or
any other command which it is desired to give.
By means of this method of signaling a command
ran, if need be. be communicated simultaneously
to a number of different stations scattered
throughout the ship. Indeed it is by this expedi
ent that the captain of the battleship insures uni
formity of action during target practise or in
battle. In a twinkling he can send the command
"Begin firing" cr "Cease firing," or any other in
structions to eacli and every gun crew scattered
throughout the length of the ship.
On the bridge,
likewise, we find all
the paraphernalia
for steering the
ship, including the
great wheel, the
electrical control,
the compasses, the
chart board, with its
stores of charts and
ail the other me
chanical adjuncts
for keeping the
huge vessel on the
proper course. Here,
tco. are the seeming
ly simple devices
which now con
trol the manipula
tion of the huge
searchlights perched
up aloft on skeleton steel towers-a means of manag
ing the searchlights v.hich In not only more rapid but
more effective than the old plan of turning them this
way and that bv manual labor. On the bridge too. are
no end of signaling devices for supplementing the
wireless telegraph In communication with other sh ps
or with the shore. There are signal flags for use with
various codes ami with the always useful 'wigwag;
there are the semaphore and Ardols systems for signal
ing at night by means of different combinations of red
and whit" lights, and there is the electric torch
for unofficial messagc-s.
The American navy has been the most suc
cessful military organization, from its very incep
tion, which the world has ever seen. That is a
pretty broad statement, but It is absolutely true.
There are good reasons for this.
In the early days we were a commercial people.
We were naturarsailormen. Our people lived
along the shores. They made their money in
commercial pursuits. The men who commanded
merchant ships were not only good sailors; they
were good merchants, and the foundations for
many of the great fortunes of this country have
come from that source. In order to protect them
selves they were obliged to go armed. Their
ships were" armed as were privateers In time of
war. The result Is that they not only knew navi
gation, bat they knew gunnery, and combined
with these qualities the intelligence which makes
great merchants.
Naturally, when those men came into positions
where they commanded men-of-war. they were
equal to the occasion, although they had had no
naval training. As time went on they acquired a
naval training, so that in the later wars, in the
early part of the nineteenth century, they met
every requirement, and in the recent wars the
graduates of the Naval academy have been equal
to every duty which has been imposed upon
them. They have made a record of which every
American citizen should be proud.
The American saiiorman has always been effi
cient. They were good men In the time of the
Revolution; competent men in the time of the
war of 1S12. They are better men today than they
were in those days, because today 95 per cent, of
them are American citizens, and not a man is
shipped in the American navy who has not de
clared his intention to become a citizen. Twenty
five years ago not more than CO per cent, of our
men-of-war's men were American citizens.
The American navy has been successful be
cause our ships have always been as good ships
as any that were built in the world. Our merchant
men, in the Revolutionary times, and down to
the Civil war. wore the best merchant ships sail
ing the seas. They were, no doubt, the best
manned, and they made the fastest time. During
the pericd of wooden ships, when wq built men-of-war
ihe were of the same general character.
Our men-of-war. gun for gun. were equal to. and
irobably superior, to those of any other nation.
We have always been able to shoot bsttcr than
most people. Go back to the early times, to the
revolutionary war. We lost 24 men-of-war. carry
ing less than SCO guns, in the Revolutionary war.
while the British lost 102 men-of-war. carrying
more than 2.300 guns. We captured S00 or their
i-ercbant ships, and it is not tco much to say
that if it had not been for the damage caused by
the American navy we would not have
won the Revolutionary war at all;
that is. It might have been necessary
later to have fought that war over
again.
The same relative skill prevailed in
the War of 1812. Our ships of the
same class were superior to the ships
of our opponents. This statement is
confirmed when we study the exact
figures. For instance, in the Hornet
Peacock contest the British ship lost
five men killed and S7 wounded, out of
a crew of WO. while the American
ship had but three wounded this in
eleven minutes. In the Wasp-Frolic
fight the British ship lost 15 men
killed and 47 wounded, out of a crew
of 110. while the American ship lost but five killed
and five wounded from a crew of the same size.
I could mention a number of similar Instances
which demonstrate my statement that at that time
we were able to shoot well, and we have been
shooting better ever since. Not only the men of
the north, but the men of the houth. shot well dur
ing the Civil war; they shoe well during the Span
ish war; and we can shoot half a dozen times as
well today as we could during the Spanish war.
Never has the American navy made such a rec
ord as it Is making today, anil never has there been
a navy having a record excelling the one which
our navy Is now making for capacity to hit the
target. That Is really the whole war problem
to hit what you are bhooting at.
Wc have not In the past built homogeneous
fleets. We build a surplus of battleships and then
provide the men to man them, and frequently pro
vide more than we have ships for. We build auxil
iaries and torpedo boats. If we do It at all. without
any regard to the relation which such craft should
bear to the battleship fleet, and while we have
built or have in construction 29 battleships, we have
practically no means of furnishing tenders for them
under service conditions.
When the battleship fleet was sent to th Pa
cific recently it was necessary to charter 40 foreign
ships to carry coal for it. If it had been found
necessary to send the fleet around the horn in time
of war it could not have been attempted, because
we could not have furnished American vessels in
which to carry the coal.
Very few people realize the deplorable condition
we are in. as far as our merchant marine is con
cerned. If we had a large merchant marine we
could draw from It without having special auxil
iaries for the navy, hut we are so lacking in both
that It makes our present situation almost hope
less. When the Spanish war broke out it was neces
sary to purchase colliers and transports. One hun
dred and two vessels were bought at a cost of some
thing over $17,000,000. but they cost a very large
percentage more than their market value, and more
than twice as much as they could have been sold
for If they had been put on the market at the ter
mination of the war. In other words, we paid out
millions of dollars because we had not provided
ourselves with suitable auxiliaries for our battle
ship fleet. We should have a navy adequate for
our needs; not only adequate in battleships, but
adequate In every other respect.
Surgery on Heart
Surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less of a commonplace In medical history.
Something approximating 100 cases of the sewing
up of heart wounds are on record, and the recov
eries have been considerable when one considers
the highly dangerous character of such work. Hith
erto, however, heart surgery has been limited to ac
cident cases.
In a recent Issue of the annals of surgery one of
the workers at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research discusses the possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
numerous experiments on animals and believes
that such operations will be successfully performed
on human beings In the near future. His tests
have convinced him th.tt the heart can b opened,
scraped out (cleaned, so to speak), sewed up and
started off on Its "beating" path agiln without any
great, at least insuperable, difficulty. By an in
genious system of side piping and new channeling
he Is able temporarily to cut out of the circulation
portions of such important vessels as the descend
ing aorta the largest artery in the body, without
killing the animal. Among his supested opera
tions is one on the coronary arteries of the heart
for the euro of angina pectoris.
This doctor has apparently proved to his own sat
isfaction on animals that successful surgical inter
ference with the great vessels and the heart Itself
Is a possibility. It Is. of course, a long step from
these experiments to actual operations on human
beings, but there Is every indication that the latter
feat will be attempted In the near future. The in
tractability of cardiac affections and their high fa
tality make the proposed new surgery a thing of
great general interest, and may justify the extreme
boldness of the proposal.

Verbal Conflicts With the Stage

I could write pages concerning my
verbal conflicts with the stage director,
and most amusing they would be; only
1 am certain he would publish his
own reminiscences of the same pe
riod. "Authors seem to be absolutely
opaque to all dramatic situations!" he
would exclaim; and I would retort:
"And stage managers seem to be blind
and deaf to anything that is simple
and human and natural."
"That will never go over the foot
lights," he would assert.
"Then let it go through them for a
change!" I would reply.
He was wonderful with the children
as well as most ingenious In Inventing

ences we each preserved respect and
admiration for the other's work. I
"wrote In" bits of dialogue at rehearsal
for delightful persons who had not
nearly enough to say for the salaries
they received. I took home certain
pathetic scenes very dear to me. and

is used not only for entire dresses and
for trimmings, but aho for lining
loose coats, being especially favored
with those of shantung and like ma- i
terials. It is an excellent material to
choose for a frock for week-end visits,
as it packs well, and is '-asily shaken,
after unfolding, into smoothness and
freshness.
Plain foulard is supplemented for
these purposes with the dotted and
striped weaves and there printed in
tiny flowers or in oriental designs. Al
together it is a wise choice for the
woman who must be economical in
dress.
Dress Trimming.
A charming Paris mode! for an aft
ernoon gown was seen recently, which
depended for its adornment entirely
upec a iort of fagoting of self-material.
The gown was a light fawn
colored challis, and on tunic, under
skirt and girdle and down the front of
the blouse the material was slashed
tions. A huge one of this pattern
Is very effective on the center of the
table under the bowl of flowers.
For the long place card tho ar
rangement of hearts Is extremely
easy. Two red ones on a white card
and the little string of hearts at each
side, also red, are very elective. This
idea is good for a red luncheon or
tea.
A garland arrangement of roses and
a bell Is shown In an attractive de
sign. Trace the design on gray paper and
paint the bell and ribbon white, the
leaves a delicate green and the roses
white. You can allow for an exten
sion one-half inch wide at the top. to
be bent over and hung on the rim or
a glass.
These place cards can be quickly
made at home; or if you have a facile
brush and pen and you wish to do a
last little favor for Miss Laura, who
will soon be Mrs. Petrarch, why not
make a set for her farewell luncheon?
and reconnected by crossed intersec
tions of the challis. rolled tight into
tubular pieces and sewed to straight
hand so as to give the appearance of
fagoting or of catstitch.
Tho same effect has ben seen in
silk, ami it is very pretty on a rather
thick material, though not suited to
fabrics very thin or delicate in appear
ance.
To Keep Young.
Think that you are young.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are another
year older.
Keep mental cobwebs, dust and
brain ashes brushed off by frequent
changes.
Don't be too ambitious; the cankei
of an overvaulting ambition has eat
en up the happiness of many a life
and shortened its years.
Put some beauty into "your life ev
ery day by seenig beautiful works of
art. beautiful bits of. scenery, or by
reading some fine pcin or selection In
prose.
