BOAT LAUHCHED
With the Carnegie Scientific
Men Hope to Correct
Magnetic Charts.
(United PreH Leased Wire.)
New York, Juna It. Without an
ounce of Iron or steel in hr con
struction excepting In her auxiliary tn
gines, the queerest sailing vess'l of
modern years was launched at a Brook
lyn building yard today and now J i s
in the Tebo yacht basin, waiting for thr?
stepping of her masts and the complp-
lion of her equipment. The old ves
sel is the non-magnetic yacht Carnegie
and she is built especially for a mag
netic survey of the earth which will
mean continuous cruising for the next
lo years.
The Carnegie, as she lies waiting for
her equipment, looks about as big as
a lifeboat on one of the great ocean
liners. When her masts and spars are
in place she will have a length over
all of 201 feet.
The Carnegie Is built throughout of
the staunchesu and firmest timber ob
tainable. All of her woodwork con
forms to tho requirements of the Amer
ican Bureau of Shipping.
The Carnegie's work Is to be the cor
rection of certain errors which ar-)
known to exist Jn the charts which show
the variation of the compass. Theso
charts were made from data obtained
by vessels which had iron In their con
struction and which were maametlo.
The work will be dona under the di
rection of Dr. L. Bauer, director of the
department of terrestrial magnetism In
the Carnegie institute at Washington.
An observatory with revolving- rinmna
Is a feature of the vessel. It Is hunt I
on the main deck amidships and gives

Chicago, June 12. A national depart
ment .of public works, with the develop
ment of the country s waterways as its
chief care, is proposed by the advocates
f the L&kes-to-Gulf Deep Water asso
ciation, following the refusal of army
engineers to approve their plans. The
suggestion originated with President
-W. K. Kavanaugh of the association,
who believes tho movement he heads
should not depend upon the war depart
ment, but on men more In touch with
the commercial needp of the country.
. The army engineers recently present
id an adverse report on the associa
tion's project to deepen the Chicago
river and canal and the upper Missis
sippi eo as to afford a H-foot channel
from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of
Mexico.
i Speaking of his now Idea today Presi
dent Kavanaugh said:
.. The head of such a department
should be a cabinet officer, a civilian
and with civil engineers and not army
engineers under htm. Every city of
oily manages us great puhilc un
dertakings in this way. and why
hould not the national government"

Washington, June 12. William S.
Rossiter, chief clerk of the census bu
reau, lias handed In his resignation to
take effect when the successor to the
former director of the census, 8. N. D.
North,' takes effect.
It Is denied that Rosslter's resignation
Is due to a feeling of loyalty to his
former chief, who was practically forced
out. ' "
The resignation of Chief Clerk Ros-
slter greatly embarrasses the adminis
tration in the taking of the census.
Next to former Director North, Ros
slter is the best posted man in the
country on census matters. He has had
11 years experience In the office, and It
was hoped that he would be a valuable
aid to K. Dana Durand, who has been
appointed to succeed Director North.
With Rosslter gone, two Inexperienced
men. Mr. Durand and Warren R. Choate,
of the bureau of corporations, who Is
slated to succeed Rosslter, will have to
undertake the big Job without having
had any previous experience. ,
The census taking should be tinder
way within a very short time. Mean
while the appointment of Durand In held
up In the senate while Senator La Fol
lette completes an investigation of the
census office which he Is making. No
concealment Is made of the fact that
the situation is becoming serious.

How toave Gas
The answer is, get a Gas Stove or
Range that Is Vp to Date. The trouble
with most Gas Ranges is that they do
not burn all the gas that passes through
the burner. The gas 4s partly burned
and partly decomposed. The result Is
that one-fourth more gas Is used than
Is necessary, arrtl the decomposed gss
that escapes into the room causes In

course of dieting.
Nowadays a large number keep on

of dieting or exercise to reduce theli
