CAPITAL
NAVAL BOARD RECOMMENDS
SALE OF CRAFT UNDER
CONSTRUCTION.
WILL JUNK CRUISERS
ESTIMATED COST OF TREATY
FULFILLMENT IS
$70,000,000.
(Western Newsptper Union News Serrice.)
Washipgton. Recommendations that
capital ships to be scrapped under the
navul limitation treaty be disposed of
by sale on the stocks in the case of
thoue urider construction, and by sale
for junk or sinking by gunfire in the
case of completed ships, are contained
in the report of the board of naval of
ficers appointed to consider ways and
means of carrying out treaty provl
sions. A preliminary estimate of $70,
000,000 as to the cost of operation Is
included in the report.
The board recommends that the ship
ping board battle cruisers Lexington,
under construction at Fort River,
Mass., and Saratoga, building by the
New York Shipbuilding Company at
Camden, N. J., be concerted into air
plane carriers under the treaty pterins,
the other four battle cruisers to be sold
on the stocks to the highest bidder.
The board in its report urged that
the $70,000,000 be made available im
mediately, stating that a considerable
saving on ships building under con
tract ond to be scrapped could be
made if the terms of settlement were
worked out promptly with the contrac
tors. It was pointed out at the Navy
Department, however, that the figure.
of $70,000,000 was purely tentative.
Existing battleships, which the board
recommends for sale or for destruc
tion by gunfire, are the Virginia, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Georgia, Nebras
ka, Connecticut, Louisiana, Vermont,
Minnesota, Kansas, New Hampshire,
Michigan, South Carolina and the Del
aware or North Dakota. One of the
last two ships, to be designated later,
is to be used as a target ship under
the treaty.-
Ships under construction and recom
mended for sale as junk on the stocks
or to be cut up under contract with the
builders include the battle cruisers
Constellation, at Newport News;
Ranger at Newport News, and Consti
tution and United States, both at the
Philadelphia navy yard.
As to the battle cruisers the board
says none of the four to be scrapped
is near enough finished to be com
pleted and launched and that all four
must be "disassembled or cut up." The
hoard considers it possible, however,
that the Constellation can be sold on
the stocks.
The ships building at navy yards are
recommended for sale as they stand to
private firms for disposition as re
quired by the treaty, but the board
urges that "usable material" from all
ships , such as guns, machinery and
other equipment "be reserved for use
in the proper accounts."
Fires Sweep Massachusetts Forests.
New York. The seriousness of the
forest fire situation in Massachusetts
was emphasized by William L. Bazeley,
commissioner of conservation, who an
nounced that more than 2,000 fires had
been reported, two lives lost in fight
ing fires. Every available., state and
town agency was mobilized to meet
conditions which were described as
the worst in years.
Underground Hotel Is Planned.
San Francisco. An automobile ho
tel, several stories deep, under Union
square, a plaza in the heart of the
downtown district, is proposed by A.
H. Rhine, owner of an automobile
parking station, to the board of super
visors. Rhine has asked the board to
submit the question to the voters in
November. Rhine advocates removing
the statue in the center of the park,
the trees and the sod while excavation
is being done. He would make the
automobile hotel of cement, then re
place the statue, grass and trees.
Fire In U. S. Treasury Building.
Washington. Flames which burst
from the roof of the Treasury Depart
ment, eating their way through a su
perstructure and spreading to the cen
tral portions of the roof, were brought
under control after threatening heavy
damage to the building. Leaping thir
ty feet or more in the air, the flames
lit up a large part of the downtown
section and sparks were wafted across
the street to the White House lawns.
President and Mrs. Harding watched
the progress of the flames from a win
dow.

HARDIN PUT BACK
ON HIS FEET TWICE
Was Relieved of Both Rheumatism
and Stomach Trouble by Tan lac,
States Los Angeles Man.
"For the second time Tanlac has put
me on my feet, and you may know by
that what I think of It." said William
T. Hardin, 1409 Garden St., Los An
geles, Calif.
"Three years ago, I had rheumatism
In my shoulders and neck so bad I
could hardly work. I tried medicine
after medicine only to get worse, but
Anally I got hold of Tanlac, and I
haven't had a trace of rheumatism
since.
"Then last summer my stomach got
out of order, I lost my appetite and
what little I did eat made me feel
bloated, all stuffed up and miserable.
I always felt weak, tired and worn out,
and was so nervous I couldn't sleep.
"Well, Tanlac did a good job for me
before, so I just got some more of it,
ond now it has again fixed me up, and
I'm feeling strong and energetic like
I used to. I'll tell the world Tanlac's
the medicine for me."
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y., for a sample- bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.
