The United States has begun to move forward toward its goal of armed peace by joining hands with private enterprise, without congressional sanction or action, to meet urgent navy requirements. Majjting a new policy in the national defense program, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey has signed an agreement with the maritime commission to construct d twelve tankers which could be transformed overnight into auxiliary fighting vessels. During times of peace, the vessels would go about their own business, transporting oil. But, in the event of war, the ships literally would be thrown into high gear, guns and navy searchlights would be mounted and the cruising range extended. United States Pays for Arming. Standard Oil and other oil companies probably will take part in the program has agreed to pay for the construction and maintenance of the tankers, with the maritime commission standing the cost of the auxiliary equipment. Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman of the commission, announced the company had awarded contracts totaling $37,556,004 for the twelve tankers to four shipbuilding concerns, each to build three. The latest agreement, plus cond struction of twelve cargo vessels, for which bids will be opened February 1, and a modem safety liner to replace the Leviathan in the North Atlantic, will the number of bring to twenty-fiv- e ships now a part of the commission's ambitious building program. Jobs fer 10,000. Cost of the ships was estimated between $60,000,000 and $75,000,000, unofficially and would give employment to an estimated 10,000 shipyard workers. Kennedy pointed out that the agreement did not represent a subsidy to Standard Oil but constituted a step in national defense. The commissions share in the cost of construction will be $10,563,000. The ships will have a speed of 16Vi knots fully loaded compared with 12ft knots of the ordinary tanker. They will have a tonnage of 16,300 tons dead weight, a length of 525 feet and a cargo capacity of 150,000 barrels.

Usually the gulf is calm, the heat tempered by cooling winds. But in blazing summers the water heaves in great swells, forecasting a cyclone, and then old sailors recall that this gulf has been known throughout the seven seas as the graveyard of ships. There are strange features about this vast gulf, states a Sydney, Australia, correspondent in the New York Times. It has onlv one tide each 24 hours. And at night its waters glow more vividly than any other waters. Nowhere else, it is said, are those minute marine organisms known as plankton, which give this phosphorescent light, so plentiful ns they are in the Gulf of Carpen- taria. At night, in line weather, the waters show all colors. Every wave, every ripple, is marked with lines of light blue and pink, the gleamings of a tiny creature no bigger than a pin's head. The sea is full of moving points of light. Scattered about the gulf arc many islands, romantic, little known. One is Swecrs island, which many years ago was the site of a flourishing settlement owing its existence to yellow fever. In the early 1800s two sailors arrived at Uurkclown dying with yellow fever. As the dread melody hit others in the town, the population fled, nrost of it to Swccrs island, where it ;ivcd for years before returning home. milk-whit- e, rejected by U.

White and Dark Clothes Only in bright sunshine are white clothes in general materially cooler than dark ones, the white reflecting more light and affording the body protection from the sun. The United States bureau of standards has tested various fabrics to determine their reflecting power, and has found that the tropical closely-wove- n white fabrics not only reflect much of the sunlight but also prevent the transmission of ultra-violrays to the skin; according to the tests of the bureau, it makes little difference whether the color is black, white, red or green. Under ordinary weather conditions, that is in the absence of bright sunshine, there is probably little difference in warmth between light and colored clothing of the same material. et Dutch Olykoeks Dutch olykoeks, or stuffed raised doughnuts, were made with great ceremony.

Many Endings to Novel Probably no novel in history has had more endings than The Mystery of Edwin Drood,"- which Charles Dickens was writing when he died suddenly in 1870. As Dickens left no notes about how he intended to end the story, notes a writer in Colliers Weekly, more than a' hundred writers have attempted to complete it, one being a spiritualist, who claimed that his ending was authentic because he had obtained his facts directly from Dickens spirit. - Lapland The Land of the Midnight Sun" is no misnomer for North Finlanr and neither is Lapland." Lapiam is not a country, not a political unit, not even a clearly defined geographical division, for its southern boundary is not marked. The name is loosely applied to the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, .Finland, and Karelia (U. S. S. R.) to that part of the vast territory of Europe lying north of the Arctic circle and between the Atlantic ocean and the White sea. Earths Rotation Governs Days, Yearsj No Tims lost Time, regarding days, years,' ete., and has not beerrXitt the earths rotation determines day and night, just as the earths revolution around the sun determines the seasons, observes a 'writer in ur-any- ay the Detroit News. The division of the year into months and days by what we call a calendar has been a matter of growth and change. The Roman calendar introduced in 738 B. C. 10 months, or 304 had a year-odays, but as this did not agree with the solar year of 365. days, two months were added by Numa Pom-piliin 713 B. C.f and the year was made to start at the winter, solstice. As this calendar was not based on a knowledge of the true length of the year (365.24224 days) the error accumulated so. that by' Julius Caesars time the seasons were confused and spring came about the first of January. Tho Julian calendar was then established, with the leap year to correct this, end the year 46 B. C. was given 445 days, called the year of confusion." Sixteen centuries later the error from the Julian calendar was found to be 10 days; our present calendar, the Gregorian, was devised to correct this. The Jewish sabbath lasted from sunset of the sixth day to sunset of the seventh day. The Jews, like the Greeks, began their day at sunset, the Babylonians at sunrise. The Jewish year begins ip the fall. f us - Mahogany Has Long Been Used as Furniture Wood Mahogany is one of the royal family of furniture woods. It has been used for centuries and because of its beautiful color, its dignity, its strength, its delicate natural patterns, and its fine texture and surface it will be used for hundreds of years to come. Most of us know we like it, but we do not know why, and many of us are unable to tell one variety from another, writes Edith Weigle in the Chicago Trib- une. There are three localities from which this cabinet' wood comes. (Cuba, They are the Santo Domingo, and Haiti), America (meaning Mexico, Central and South America), and Africa (from the west coast, gold and ivory coasts, and Nigeria). ' When you buy a piece of furniture made of mahogany you are entitled to know whether it is West Indian; American, or African mahogany. There is no such thing as Philippine mahogany. Any wood sold .under that name is a misnomer, says George N. Lamb, spokesman for the Mahogany Association, Inc. Best for the finest furniture are Cuban and Santo Domingan mahogany. It has a golden brown end sometimes a deep, rich, brownish red tone and is heavier than other types. It takes a beautiful finish. West.-Indie- Pollination Agents Pollination is carried on by various insects, by the wind, by water, by birds, etc. Insect pollination is the most common type in flowering plants, those with showy petals or sepals, with nectar or a distinct odor. Gagers "The Plant World" mentions it as a very significant fact that there .were no flowers with showy petals on the earth until the geological age in which insects first appeared, and then these flowers developed. Practically all the conifers, including pinek, hemlocks, etc., and all grasses are Bees are most important to a good crop of orchard fruits and to clover, one authority estimating that honeybees are worth fifty or more times as much for their part in fertilizing blossoms as they are for their honey. wind-pollinate- d. Inserts and Flowers Some flowers are at night and scentless during the day. When this is the case one can be sure that the insects which fertilize the flowers are nocturnal in habit. Flowers which are sweetsmelling during the day are fertilized by insects which fly during the day. Some flowers close up during the day and open during the night; others do the opposite. Insects and flowers are mutual friends, but both of them have their enemies. There are insects which prey upon flowers, and there are flowers or plants which use their flowers that prey upon insects. sweet-smellin- g Mexicans' Grew Pahlias The Mexicans had cultivated the dahlia before the Spaniards arrived in 1519, but it was about 300 years later, in 1791, that the plants appeared in Europe, at the Botanic gardens jn Madrid, Spain. The newer forms have all been brought about since 1800, says the Rocky Mountain Herald. The native Mexican name of the dahlia was acocot-l- i, which means water pipe, end its present name is in honor of the famous Spanish botanist, Dr. An- dreas Dahl.
