A Winning Play. Sf v4 S
Old Friend—Your plan is a most ex
cellent one. But do you think your
wife will agree to it? Married Man—
Oh, yes. I'll tell her some one else sug
gested it, and 111 call it an idiot's idea.
—Exchange f|f
A plan whereby cargo tonnage can be
created in this country "faster than
Germany can sink it" has been devised
by F. Huntington Clark, a New York
engineer, according to an announce
ment made before a Joint session of
the Automobile Club of America, the
Aero Club of America and the Motor
boat Club of America. The building
of a thousand or more light draft, mo
tor driven wooden cargo ships with a
capacity of about 1,000 tons each and a
length of 1S5 feet with 36 feet beam
was advocated by Mr. Clark. He said
sucli'a fleet would end the German sub
marine blockade and abate at the same
time the stagnation in this country ot
freight that should be moving across
the sea.
In a letter to Henry A. Wise Wood
Mr. Clark gave the details of his plan.
The new type of vessel, he said, could
be built in great numbers quickly, at
small cost and by men of little skill.
Each vessel would be mastless, smoke
less and of ^diminutive size and would
have such low visibility, as compared
with the great steel snips now afloat,
that it could be seen by a submarine
at barely more than a thirtl of the dis
tance at which the 10,000 ton steam
ship is now detected.
It was estimated that 1,000,000 tons
or 1.000 vessels of 1,000 tons each, with
a speed of 9. knots, could be built at
a cost of SI00.000,000 in a year. The
same amount off tonnage, with a speed
of 14 knots, it was .said, could be
built for $150,000,000.
Yarmouth's Naval History
Yarmouth has never beet a naval
base,, but played a strange part in a
sort of civil war with the barons of the
Cinque ports during the middle ages.
The barons attempted to annex the
great herring metropolis, but Yar
mouth, with characteristic independ
ence, fiercely and continuously resisted
their control by force of arms. A des
perate sea fight took place oil the har
bor between a Yarmouth squadron and
a fleet from the Cinque ports, in which
twenty-five ships were sunk and thir
tv-seven damaged.-— London Mail.
Time For Everything.
A celebrated author thus sketched
out his daily program to an interview
er: Rise at 11, breakfast at 12 atten
tion to mail a few afternoon call.-- a
ride in the park dinner the theater
and .then to bed.
"But when do you do your literary
work?" lie was asked.
"Why, the next day, of course," was
the reply.—Pickings. ,,

To Eat One's Boots.
The expression "to eat. one's boots"
has foundation in fact.
Don Carlos, the son of Philip II. of
Spain, once punished his shoemaker by
forcing him to eat a pair of ill fitting
boots the unfortunate man had made
for his royal patr
History does not mention whether
the shoemaker ever made another pair.
Preparing For War.
Yeast—And so you say your wife be
lieves in preparedness. Crimsonbeak—
I should say so. Why, I'll bet she's
sitting up there at home now waiting
to start hostilities as soon as I put the
key in the door.—Yonkers Statesman.
Exhausted.
"Do you think your husband has de
rived any benefit from playing golt,
Mrs. Niblick?"
"Oh, yes I'm sure he has! He used
to be frightfully irritable, but now I
never hear a cross word from him."
"Of course you don't. His vocabu
lary of expletives must be pretty well
used up by the time he gets home from
the links."—Exchange.
Presidential Farewells.
Two of our presidents have delivered
farewell addresses. Under date of
Sept. 17, 1796, Washington issued a
farewell address in anticipation of his
retirement the following March. It
was chiefly the work of Washington
and Hamilton, though portions of it
were taken from a draft prepared by
Madison at Washington's request wlieii
the latter had expected to retire at the
end of liis first term. A farewell ad
dress was also issued by President An
drew Jackson on March 8, 1&57, the
last day of his official life.
Grim Solace.
"Is I'diggins an optimist?"
"Yes. lie's one of the kind who con
vince you that everything is goinft to
the bowwows and then tell you there
is no use worrying about it"-Wash
