A poor saw lcoks very much like a good saw:a poor hammer looks very much like'a good one. HOW can'you tall what is of good quality and what is not? BY the storelwhich sells it to'you “WATER seeks its level,” A reliable harkware sture will never sell you nnreliable hardware, WE know (hardware from A to Z. We only carry the best lines. We have different gradesin every kind of hard- ware, but we 'see to it that every grade is the best that can be had for the price.

His course of training in the navy is rather se vere, for he requires every man who enlists for service under the Stars and Stripes on sea to become a skilled artisan. Probably the most Interest- Ing of all of Uncle Sam's trade schools I8 the school for seaman gunners, at the navy yard in Washington. It is here that the men who aim and fire the great guns learn their principle and mechanism so thoroughly that the efficlency of the United States navy is unequaled by any navy in the world There are more than 125 men in the | seaman gunners’ class at the present | time, enrolled for six months of the hardest kind of study in the shops} and in the classroom, Every one of these men i picked, and in the serv- | Ice it is considered a great honor to be chosen to join the class. Only ! men who have been in the txervlcel| forr years are eligible, und then only when their conduct and service record are exceptionally good. Graduates of ! the school are the backbone of the | navy. Here the men are taught the | only really distinctive naval trade, and ! it is here that the men who load, train and fire the immense guns are made. Requires Much Study. ! They learn the making of the large | and small guns. They learn by prac- | tical experience how to take them | down and assemble them again, Thoi breech mechanism, everything to do | with the practical part of ordnance, | the manufacture of shells, fuses andi powder and torpedoes all require | thorough and extensive study The | work is equally divided between the naval gun factory shops and the class- room, where they have instruction at | the hands of skilled ordnance experts ' and special instructors. In addition to the ordnance course they are re- quired to become proficient in the sei- ence of metallography and skilled in | the manufacture and principle of the ! storage hattery Work on the big guns start from the' raw casting. ‘This huge, T5-ton eylin- der of stec bored out, trimmed and | grooved he casing, another huge eylinder of steel, is bored out, heated white hot and <hrunk onto the groov- ed lining The manufacture of this part of the monster 11-inch rifles takes about four wecks Then the guunery force enters the forge and hammer shops, where they remain for two weeks. After this tho, class is divided into small squads, some of them poing into the black. smith shop, others to the machinists’ bench, the carpenter shop, the tin- smith, the coppersmith and the plumber for instruction. Each man must hammer and turn out from raw metal every piece of steel which goes into the complicated breech block me- chanism and the firing devices. Pro- Jectiles and smokeless powder also get a great deal of attention, this last phase of the work taking the school to Indian Head, Md. weeks' work When these me| for several n graduate and leave S A WASHINGTON NAVY YARLD | their lessons for the next day M %l o e PRSI S | ( NCLE SAV s 4 schoolinaster Oy for their varoous duties.

Dinner to the seaman gunner’s Cl:’.\h‘l} is always something to look forward | to. The menu s large and the food, ' although simple, is the best that money can buy. The class has a ca- terer who makes it his business to see that the same dishes are not served too often and that the food is of the best quality From dinner until 10:30 o'clock the men are at leisure to come and go as they please. They may “go ashore” or visit friends in Washington, or they may remain in quarters and study The men are allowed to use civiliar clothes For the most part, the stu- dents restrict their liberties to not more than two nights a week and all day Sunday | It is so great an honor to be sent to the school and the advancement, | after graduating, is so rapid that none | of the lucky ones care to risk their chances of being dismissed and re- turned to the service under their old rank. Then, as many written prob. lems are required. and several oral recitations occur each week, they burn a great deal of midnight oil A wis- itor to the pavy ward any night ex- | cept Saturday will find forty or fifty clean-cut young men working out ordnance probiems, studying from a ! dozen text hooks and quizzing fla(‘hl other ou the questions that the officer. | instructor is sure to ask them the | next day Josephus Duniels, seerotary of the navy, is particularly fond of the gea- man gunners' elass To his mind the rushing drcadnought and the erash of mighty puns are not ali that g0 to make up a perfect naval serviee, He believes that a ‘our-year course in the navy should be enual to a four-yeur course in the best voc ational scheol in the country As far as the seaman ginr class i concerned, they get an excelient voeational train- ing in just six months A graduate of this wonderful school can take raw metal and turn out the most complicated steel mechanism turn sheet copper into symmetrical pipe and ducts; make and charge a storage battery, wire a turret for electricity: make a set of plans for about anything., and make and use smokeless powder Plant Grows Under Snow. | The Alpine flower called the sol- danella, produces heat sufficient go that it grows even under a consider able covering of snow.

If the snow {s Geeper the heat melts a little hollow chamber out about the plant, thus giv- ing it room to expand and blossom.
