The board advised that the old type twelve-inch guns and mortars “are not equal in range and power to major caliber guns afloat.” Mr. Garrison recommended the im- mediate improvement of some of the coast defenses so that the range of the old twelve-inch guns could be Increased to 20,000 yards, and the board suggested that wherever it was «necessary to construct new works the larger guns should be sixteen-inch forty-five caliber weapons. ° Secretary Garrison’s statement to the committee reviewed the program for construction of coast defenses, which he said would require $40,000,- DANGEROUS DEBILIY Debility may result from a number of gauses—worry, aiter-effects of acute’ ill- ness, lack of nourishment due to di ordered digestion, or anything that mak the blood thin, thereby preventing it from carrying health and nourishment o the tissues of the body.

Soon Become Outlaws. When the war came to an end they were hunted far and wide by rela- tives of those who had met death at their hands. Driven here and there, they soon became outlaws. Many no- torious crimes of the decade follow- ing the war have been laid at the door of the James-Younger gang of which the surviving members were ¥rank James and Cole Younger, the latter of whom is now living at Lees Summitt, Mo. Among these deeds were: Raids on the Commercial bank, Libert Mo., in 1866. The bank defender was killed and $70,000 was stolen. Looting of the Russellville, bank in 1868—for $50,000.

Although the James | boys participated in hundreds of rob- beries it is now generally believed that there were also hundreds of robberies charged up to them of which they were innocent. In 1882, after Jesse James had been shot and killed in his home in St. Joseph, Mo., by Bob Ford, also | a bandit, for a reward of $60,000, Frank James surrendered in Jeffer- son City Mo.
