Washington, Jan. 17.—"Our enemies
are sinking our snips at the rate of
$6,000 worth per minute. We can get
our ships across the sea without .
having them sunk as sure ns gospel." 1
Hudson Maxim, the inventor, np- ;
peared before the Senate commerce
committee to-day to tell It how Gen- |
eral Goethals, Admiral Capps and
other officials of the Emergency \
Fleet Corporation failed to give him
a chance to prove his nonsinkable
ship theory. His testimony, found
climax In the emphatic declaration al- ,
ready quoted.
He added that Thomas A. Edison,
with whom he had discussed his plan, '
had agreed with him that it appeared
feasible.

To Overcome
Nervous Dyspepsia ;
• <
A SPECIALIST'S AIJVICE
Nervous people, as a rule, suffer j
greatly from dyspepsia. The minute
things go wrong, or something upsets
the nerves, or they are tired and over
worked, they feel it in their stomach.
Appetite vanishes and gives way to ,
dull, dread uneasiness, and what they 1
do eat doesn't digest properly. Then 1
comes belching, heart burn, sour ris
ing, and a whole train of distressing
symptoms. t
Nervous Dyspepsia should never be 1
tTeated with pepsin pills or artificial
digestants. The stomach fs a sensitive 1
organ, and the nerves that control it
should at such a time, be calmed and
strengthened, when all stomach dis- '
tress will quickly cease, appetite will \
return, and the stomach will digest its
food properly, and as nature intend. '
ed. (
Thanks to a remarkable chemical ,
discovery, it is now possible to feed
ihe nerve cells with the exact '
*imulus they require when over- <
worked and unstrung, and a prepara-l
Hon called Margo Nerve Tablets is I <
producing remarkable results in the j,
treatment of Nervous Dyspepsia, and ' .
other nerve disorders. It makes a re-i'
markable change in any person In ten 1
inicutes by the watch, strengthening : '
the stomach and charging the nerve
i.ells with strength, poise, power and (
tremendous reserve energy, and giv- s

brain, courage, power, quick wit, and ,
real vital vim. Margo Nerve Tablets 1

Give Your Stomach
A Magnesia Bath
A Wonderful Treatment I-'or IJys- i
pepitla, IndlKextlon and Sour,
I pnet Stomach.
No man or woman who suffers from I
acid indigestion or dyspepsia can i
make a mistake by giving their stom- i
ach an occasional internal bath with i
a little bisurated magnesia, says a !
well known authority. Ninety per !
cent of all digestive disorders are i
' aused by "acid stomach." Nature I
provides hydrochloric acid as one of
the digestive fluids but a great many !
stomachs generate too much acid! i
which irritates and Inflames the stom-I I
ach walls and causes partially di
gested food to sour and ferment
Thus the stomach while fundamental
ly all right develops gas, wind and !
the pain commonly mistaken for in
digestion.
This harmful, poisonous excess acid
in the stomach should be neutralized
before it works its way into the blood
and is carried all over the body
The moment your stomach burns or
feels sour or the food you eat begins
to hurt get a few ounces of Bisurated \
Magnesia from any reliable druggist t
and take a teaspoonful In a little
water. Relief comes in five minutes
by the watch. The Bisurated Mag- '
nesia washes down Into your acid- r
inflamed and burning stomach and a
soothes and cools the heated walls i
and takes up or neutralizes every 1
trace of excess acid present much as
a piece of blotting paper or sponge „
might do. Every symptom of stom- f
ach distress vanishes and natural 1
easy, painlesrf digestion follows. ' £

, THURSDAY EVENING,
| dence," Mr. Maxim asserted, " to say
I Mr. Edison is strongly of the opln
| ion that the concrete ship offers re
markable opportunities.
Under questioning by Senator Nel-
I sen and others, Mr. Maxim described
his theory. The prevention of the
; sinking of ships, he said, is not a
problem for ship architects, but for
an explosive expert. He approached
I the problem with that idea in mind
1 and conceived the idea of nullifying
] or minimizing the effect of the tor
pedo explosion.
i Explains* Corerete FrmnfWOrk
Without going into details In open ,
session the aged inventor explained |
that concrete framework, in the first
place, lessens tUe lateral spread of
torpedo damage and localizes the ef
fect of the explosion. Tests have
proved this point, he asserted.
Inside the outer framework he pro- j
posed to utilize a space between it
and the bulkheads with either water
cylinders or moist, watery cargo
stuffs. Loose vegetables, Mr. Maxim
suggested, would serve the purpose.
Ir. any case, his idea was simply to
get sufficient water or moisture be
tween the shell and bulkheads to
minimize the explosion and prevent
the spread of explosion gases.
By means of the concrete covering
to localize tne impact and the mois
ture to absorb the explosion gases.
Mr. Maxim declared a ship could be :
made virtually unsinUable by tor
pedoes.
"We've either got to stop the Ger- |
man submarines from coming out," lie
said, "or build torpedo-proof ships, j
They couldn't sink one of these ships •
with half a dozen torpedoes."
Klillmlrn "l'-Bon Kodder" riun i
• |
The inventor pooh-poohed the idea |
of trying to build ships faster than
the Germans can sink them. He said 1
i. not only seems impossible, but is
resulting in a terrific and needless
waste.
Mr. Maxim said that when he bad
completed all his plans he submitted
them to General Goethals, then gen
eral manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. Getting no satisfaction,
he continued, he later put the plans
up to Admiral Capps and "then on
down tile line through their succes- I
sors and subsidiaries."
After some time he heard of an in- i
vestigation of his theory made by the
ship protection executive committee
of the corporation. He said he re- i
reived a letter from Senator McCum
ber. of North Dakota, containing a
report by this committee which at- ,
tacked his theory on several points.
He had no opportunity to answer
these attacks, the inventor declared.
At this point the committee closed
the doors and went Into executive
session with Mr. Maxim.
EVERY CHINAMAN MAY
HAVE FIVE NAM K.N
Portland, Ore.—Every Chinaman
has three names. Gong Woo, secre
tary of the Suey Sing Tong, testifted
under cross-examination at the tr'&l
of Chin Jung Hi for complicity in
the murder of Chin Hong, June 2,
last.
Deputy District Attorney John Col ■
lier was attempting to impeach the
witness. It had been testified to
previously that Gong Woo at the time
of the murder was living under tbe
name of Gong Woo. He subse
quently moved to Lents and vms
there found living under the name
of Fan Lee. Two electric light *>il's
were procured in evidence showing
a charge for current under two j
names. The witness admitted hav-■
ing paid both bills.
He said at birth a Chinese is giv
en one name; when he first goes lo
school another name, and at 111'.'
marriage he receives still another.
Fan Lee, he said, was his married
name. He explained further that i
Chinaman gets a fourth name when
he is appointed to an official posl
- and a fifth when promoted.

1 Ing Is of great benefit to a commun
lty.
"Music is of great advantage to
men," said Professor Westbrook.
"It equalizes them, creating a spirit
of brotherhood, and takes their
minds oft business. It gives them a
1 new and different insight, which is
accomplished not by singing the
common popular songs, but by really
1 good music that can be appreciated.
"The value of music In bringing
together socially disorganized com
munities has never been fully real
ized. By choral singing, people in
any one locality can be brought into
certain sympathy with one another.
Wherever there is a neighborhood
there is a chance for singing. A lead
er is needed who will select only the
best music. Where neighboring
groups have been singing the same
kind of good music they will find in
any large community gathering that
they have something in common and ]
will be ready to take part in choral
singing on an even larger scale.
"If an orchestra playing Beethov- '
en played in a community unused to <
such music, there would break forth 1
from the audience an unrestrained 1
applause such as comes only from 1
people who are really hungry for j
good music—the kind of music that 1
community musical societies will 1
bring to them."
