WASHINGTON.—Supplies needed for the battleships now under con struction in shipyards in the United States emphasize that the modern warship, aside from its primary function as a fighting machine, is a floating community which must be wholly self-sufficient, for consider able periods of time. ”A battleship’s full complement of about 1,200 officers and men needs supplies and services almost as varied as those of the average town,” says the National Geograph ic society. “Three meals a day must be served seven days a week. The large quantity of food required at each meal is indicated by the equipment of the kitchen’s or ship’s galleys which, among other utensils, includes 10 or 12 enormous soup kettles of 60 or 80 gallons each. “Machines peel potatoes and on ions. The chief cook and his sev eral assistants preside over three electric ranges, three electric cook ing tops, four three-deck electric roasting ovens, five electric fry ket tles of 90-gallon capacity, 10 electric griddles, and several ice cream freezers. Other equipment includes an electric coffee grinder, a dish washing machLie, and tumbler drier. “The bakery would be a credit to the average small town both in size and equipment. Main Street Ahoy. “The butcher shop has two meat blocks, meat grinder, electric meat slicing machine, electric meat, bone and fish cutter, and also large elec tric refrigerators in which other perishable foods are also kept. The ship has its own ice-making equip ment. “The bajrber shop has six barber chairs. The shoe shop is mecha nized with stitching machine, patch ing machine, and finishing machine, with the necessary hand tools. There is a blacksmith shop, also an electrical shop, a foundry with pattern-making equipment, machine shop, carpenter shop, metalsmith shop and electric welding machines. “It is doubtful if any town of 1,200 has a printshop comparable to that on a battleship, which has the latest improved printing presses and lino type machines. “There is also the dentist’s office with a modern dentist’s chair and all the accessories, including his own X-ray machine. The surgeon has his operating table, surgical beds, and other provisions made for the care of. the sick in his own hos pital or sick bay. He has his elec tric bacteriological incubator, 60 oxygen rescue breathing devices, and other scientific aids. Soda Fountain for Gobs. “The ship’s service activity fur ther meets the needs of the com munity with a soda fountain where drinks are listed over the counter at less than land prices. “A small hotel could be equipped with the 150 tables, 250 chairs, rugs, sofas, china and silver cabinets, sil verware, glassware, chinaware, car pets, table linen, bed linen, electric fans, floor waxing machines, mat tresses and pillows. The missing item would be beds which are large ly dispensed with. Tiers of nar row bunks, three deep, constitute the standard sleeping equipment in the limited space aboard ship, and there are the traditional hammocks for emergency use. “One feature that would measure up to many larger hotel require ments is the ship laundry. Feeding and ‘sleeping’ 1,200 men, and keep ing officers in white uniforms, re quires a large laundry adequately equipped with washing machines, starch kettles, flat work ironer, col lar shaper, drying cabinet, and oth er machinery. “Entertainment aboard ship is contributed by a band of 20 to 24 pieces, as well as radio receiving sets. Each battleship has its mov ing picture equipment, including two motion picture projectors and a screen. Ships also have their own cameras for making motiop and still pictures, with the necessary dark room equipment for developing. “The navy has taken stock and finds that every state in the Union contributes in some measure ma terials and supplies which go into the construction of its vessels.” Expert Training for War Portfolio *~{> , j-'O’ >v i „ < „ ,> Robert P.

OLD MAN COYOTE DINES WELL FVER since he had come to the ■*-' Green Meadows to live Old Man Coyote had taken the greatest pains to keep away from Farmer Brown’s. You see he felt that he was a strang er, and being such he would be quite likely to make mistakes, which might get him into trouble. If there M * * *••• * Cm of More than once a fat chicken or a plump duck had passed almost un der Old Man Coyote’s nose. is one thing that Old Man Coyote prides himself on it is the way in which he manages to keep out of trouble. He is so smart that it is very seldom that Old Man Trouble ever catches up with him. So he kept away from Farmer Brown’s henyard and Farmer Brown’s duck- pond, although sometimes the sound of the roosters crowing and the ducks quacking made his mouth wa ter so that he would trot off into the Green Forest where he could not hear them for fear that he might be tempted to do something foolish. But all the time he was studying and studying. Yes, sir. Old Man Coyote was studying. He was learn ing all about the ways of Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown’s boy and Farmer Brown’s hired man and Bowser the Hound and the hens and the ducks. Day after day he would hide where he could see all that went on about Farmer Brown’s house and dooryard, and no one ever suspected it. He knew just when the hens were allowed to run out side the henyard. He knew just which ones were boldest and went farthest from home and where they usually went. He knew just when the ducks went down to the duck- pond and where their favorite rest ing places on the edge of the pond were. The truth is Old Man Coyote knew a lot more about those ducks and chickens than Farmer Brown’s boy himself. More than once a fat chick en or a plump duck had passed al most under Old Man Coyote’s nose and never guessed how close dan ger was. And he had let them pass, because he was smart enough to know that to seize them would be to give himself away. Now the time had come when he felt that he had learned all that was to be learned about chickens and ducks and Farmer Brown’s folks, and that if he made the most of what he had learned he could dine on chicken or duck when he pleased without running any danger. So that is how it happened that one night Farmer Brown’s boy, counting his ducks before he shut them up for the night, found that one was missing. He hunted everywhere for some trace of the missing duck, but not so much as a feather could he find. Nor could he find a track of anyone who might have stolen and carried away the missing duck. And at that very time, far over in the most lonesome corner of the Green Meadows where he makes his home, Old Man Coyote was smiling to himself as he dined royally. “Duck certainly is very good eat ing,” said he, as he picked the last bone. “It was worth waiting for. I have heard say that these human beings are very smart, but if they are smarter than Old Man Coyote then it is time for me to move away, and I don’t think I’ll do that yet for awhile. When I was just a young puppy I learned that the surest way to keep out of trouble is to lead peo ple to suspect someone else. When Farmer Brown’s boy begins to miss his ducks and chickens he mustn’t think of me. He must sus pect someone he knows has stolen Preparedness Is Speeding Ahead, Says F.D.R. Visiting the U.

Now, who shall it be?” Old Man Coyote stretched out comfortably to digest his good din ner and think out his plans for put ting the blame on someone else. Of course, it was wrong, very wrong, of him. Nothing could be meaner than trying to put the blame for his own misdeed on someone else. But Old Man Coyote didn’t once think of it in this way. You see he has so often been blamed himself for things he didn’t do, that he felt that he was simply getting even. © T W. Burgess.—WNU Service.

Find Civilization of 1,500 Years Ago in Honduras NEW YORK.—The story of a Cen tral American “city of the monkey god," whose inhabitants used razor blades 1,5Q0 years ago, was brought here by two Massachusetts arche ologists. Deep in the fetid jungles of Hon duras, Theodore A. Morde said he and his companion, Laurence C. Brown, discovered the “lost” city, capital of an agricultural civiliza tion of the Chorotegans, probably contemporaries of the Mayan Indi ans. Centuries of jungle growth cov ered the dead metropolis whose buildings had stone foundations and which was surrounded by a stone wall. Mr. Morde, of New Bedford, and his colleague, of Worcester, declined to give the exact location of the city because of their intention to re turn with a larger expedition to start excavations thus far made impos sible by floods. Sculptored idols, stone household utensils, a six-note flute and primi tive razor blades were among the articles they brought back to the Museum of the American Indian, sponsor of the explorations. LIBRARY RECEIVES VALUABLE STORY OF EARLY U. S. TRADE WASHINGTON. — Accounts of trade relations between the 13 col onies and Great Britain in the two years following the Revolutionary war, have been acquired by the Li brary of Congress in the form of three folio volumes of 1,344 hand written pages comprising the min utes and other documentary records of the British board of trade. In announcing the gift “of a pri vate citizen of the United States,” Archibald McLeish, librarian, said the acquisition of the records of the board are “a treasure house of priceless firsthand information.” Re search workers interested in early American trade conditions and stu dents of British empire trade will be particularly benefited by the gift, MacLeish said. The records reveal the many new found problems in trade relations with the new country -uid Great Britain. As the former constituted a foreign power, the Navigation acts closed the ports of British North America and British West Indies to them. This was a distinct hardship on the British, as they were depend ent on the “rebels” for foodstuffs. Britain’s colonial planters and merchants also felt the press of the acts and they frequently petitioned for restoration of trade relations with the new country which had broken away from the British em pire. Sugar growers of the West Indies complained that supplies formerly received from the seceded colonies “are in many instances and at many seasons of the year not to be had from any other country at any price whatever.” In other cases they are only receivable “at prices wholly ruinous,” the loyal planters and growers charged.

That something must be the magnet which will draw us to it irresis tibly. Such striving to reach the goal requires all the strength that is in us. For, this life is an un relenting master who does not waste time with aimlessly wan dering sluggards.
