A 2,500 h. p. engine generates power enough to make a speed of 75 miles an hour in, still water. Accord ing to its commander, the Disturber I VI is strong and staunch enough to make a cruise around the world at a ( high rate of speed. It is to be manned I by a crew of 15 men who will take it east as soon as water transportation opens up through the lakes. Chicago, April 11. (United Press) Two submarine chasors, planned to bo the speediest o; their kind, are being constructed in Chicago and within a few days will be on their way to the Atlantic seaboard. For ob vious treasons, the place of their con struction and the timo of their de parture is kept secret hy their owners and the government. The two boats, which their owners expect to be of inestimable service as submarine chasers, are the Disturber VI, owned by Commodore James A. Pugh, and the Kanawha, owned by John Borden. The Kanawha, which will carry four to six pounders and two machine guns is 225 feet long r.nd has a gross ton nage of 475 tons. It has a spued of 25 miles an hour and carries a crew tif 65 men. It was the first yacht to be offered to the government and is being remodeled under government super vision. The Disturber VI is one of the fast est boats afloat. It is low and almost invisible to an enemy at a distance of two or three miles. Capable of mak ing a milo a minute, the speed boat, with its sharp steel bow can be upon a submarine even before tho com mander can givo orders to submerge. It is to be armed with a 4.7 inch gun. Whether other armament will be cur ned Commander Pugh refused , to state. Tho Disturber is being used by tho government ns a model for the construction of 200 similar boats. It! Beg. C. B. lt.

Gail Kane the Star of a Five-Reel Peerless Production Released by World Film Corporation. (Reviewed by Edward iWcitzel in Moving Picture World.) The five-reel Peerless production, "Tho Man She Married," was adapted from la story by Harold Vickers. It is dramatically effective. Starting with the marriage of the heroine to a sharper who is after her money and who robs and deserts her, tho events are caried along to the big situation. Although far from novel, having re ceived in tho lust 40 years the en dorsement of a number of prominent French dramatists, tho situation has lost none of its ability to score. The preceding threads of the plot aro woven into tho author's design with skill, and tho Tcsult is a story that is theatric, but maintains a firm hold on the interest of tho spectator from first to last reel. Gail Kane, in the character of Be atrice Raymond, tho young heiress who is tricked by a mock marriage, is an excellent selection for the part. She indicates tho confiding nature of the woman, and makes her course of. action consistent throughout. She also meets tho demands upon her emo tional powers with an adequate re sponse. Arthur Ashley's performance of Ralph Somple is a smooth piece of forceful acting of a gentleman who. looks upon the world as his own in dividual oyster. Montagu Love gives a thoroughly satisfactory impersona tion of the likeable Jerry Trainer, and Muriel Oestriche is the light-headed but good-hearted Edith Trainer to the life. Louise M. Bates makes a fair Ada Semple. Travers Vale's direction of the picture sustains his well-known reputation for competent work. This picture will be shown at the Arcade today and tomorrow in con nection with the three act Hippodrome vaudeville show. The first show in the evening will begin at 7 o'clock and tho second show will ibegin at about 9 o'clock. SPRING SIGNS. Sashes are io be un Important factor In the composition of the spring frock. Especially Is this true of the costumes which show the Roumanian Influence, ns well as of the t.VKH which are more directly oriental In their character. In some Instances the front of the sash will show a trimming motif, while again novel uhapod ornamentation will be placed In the sash ends. Tassels will vie with separate motifs In per forming the last mentioned service. ABOUT TRIC0RNS. It Is predicted that tue trlcom, the four cornered but, ns well as tho bl corn, will be quite smart for earlv hats. Many of the shaped bats will be made by band, and tills will, of course. make these bats u bit more expensive. THE NEWEST WAISTS. Sheer hIIU crape retains a prominent place. Crepe do chine, wnsli satin and foulard are also used, either alone or la combination and with a touch of colored embroidery or beading. The best-advertised store in town today ought to be very interesting place to visit.

Many Apply for Patents. London, March 22. (United T.sss) By Mail In the second full year of the world war, there were 18,686 ap plications for patents registered at the British patent office. This represents an increase of 461 applications over the previous year. A good proportion of the applications were made for pat ents on instruments and munitions of war. Artificial legs are being per fected too, the list shows. It is a curious fact that the only patent granted an enemy alien since he war began was issued to a German. It was a process for "grinding swords" and licenses have been issued to Sheffield firms to use the new invention. Still, no monarch abdicates out of love for, his country until his loving subjects show him the door. J. W.
