The cruiser division alone is not represented. Of the sixteen battleships, the super dreadnaughts New York and Texas with their great 14-inch g-uns are rated the most powerful.

A handsomely-dressed woman rushed up, with arms extended: ".Vlaißtro," she cried, "I'm so happy to see you; so very happy." "Ah, Kutscherra, Kutscherra," cried one man, and allowed her to put her arms about him. But then suddenly he pushed her away and shouted, "No, no, no. you are a German. Away, away!" And turning to his companions, he beckoned tjiem, and left the dock without another look at the grief stricken woman. Such was the greeting of Camille Saint Saens, the far-famed French com poser, to Sline.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears - Signature of HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH HACKETT Bill IS VETOED BV GOVERNOR State Industrial Board Is Held Competent to Adjust Any Difficulties The State Industrial Board is held to be competent to adjust any difficul ties that may arise under the women's employment law of 1913 by Governor Brumbaugh In a message sent to the Senate to-day giving his reasons for vetoing the Hackett bill to extend the maximum number of hours women may be employed in hotels, boarding houses, restaurants and similar places. The Governor discusses the bill in de tail, saying in part: "This bill re lates to the terms of employment of lemales in hotels, boarding houses and restaurants. It amends existing law by changing the week hours from 54 to 63 and the day per week from to 6 x x x To lengthen the hours ol labor for all female employes in the establishments named is a serious matter. It Is asked for on the ground of administrative necessity. It is op posed on the ground of humane treat ment of women. In the last analysis the welfare of our people is the "su premely vital matter and the Indus trial Hoard is competent under law to adjust any difficulties that are rea sonably capable of adjustment. The cooks in hotels and restaurants get no relief by this measure and the pro prietors are inconvenienced because of the netd for early meals. Here again a reasonable adjustment may accom plish more than a reactionary law. In all such enactments it is difficult to distinguish between those who have never sensed the changing attitude of civilization to our working people and those who really desire to con serve social justice but find it difficult to do so. To the former the Common wealth can of course give no heed. To the latter every aid shall be given to the end that their proper activities may be safeguarded in connection with the welfare of these worthy women who honestly labor to live. Tiio present administration will gladly through its industrial board and its legal department lend every aid con sistent with the most humane and just treatment of the cases concerned." The Governor also vetoed the Thomas House bill directing boards of visitors as to the number of times they shall inspect placeß for the care of children, on the ground that it is loosely drawn and indefinite. Other Bills Vetoed Other bills vetoed were: Horton House bill relating to safety devices on trains at soft coal mines, the Governor saying: "It seems to me a waste of time and money to attempt to do by a new law what sane and sensible administration under existing law can do and do just as well." Hamilton House bill authorizing second class cities to issue bonds for two years instead of five. The Gover nor says it would open the whole mat ter to litigation and confusion and that existing laws afford methods whereby cities can negotiate bonds. Patton Senate bill directing city so licitor to prepare in advance plana of all improvements when a Jury is ap pointed to change a highway or take property for public use.
