Mutt. v:34-37 Sialic mill t iimhIiik. The following minute description of the government dry dock. "Dewey." now being towed from Baltimore to Manila, Is from the Blue Book, pub lished In Baltimore by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad: The great steel dry dock named after Admiral Dewey.' which was bulk at sparrows Point, Baltimore, started on Its famous voyage to Manila on Thursdav. December 28. This great structure, finished over the severity of the weather abated. Tile expedition Is in the charge of Commander H. H. Hosley. United States navv. He will make his head quarter on the supply and refriger. ator ship Glacier, directing the move ments of the big dock from that point It was he, who, two years ago, had charge of the United States steamer Buffalo, which convoyed the torpedo flotilla from Key, West to the Philip pines.

Is announced from the navy depart This undertaking has no precedent ment at Washington, It Is subject to and the big dock will be the subject such ennnges as circumstances ma of deepest concern to the navy de ' pnmrnil In he mmlp. Conditions will be met and weighed as they arise and decision rested on them, The route as announced officially Is as follows: From the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay across the Atlantic to Maderla; through the Mediterran ean to the Sues canal; across the Red sea and the Indian ocean to Singa pore; thence to the Philippines across the Sea of China. This Is a distance, counting the variations that must be made, of about 13,500 miles, making the longest tow ever attempted In the history of marine engineering. The crews on board the colliers and consort of the expedition will be the same as when In regular service. The crew of the big dock itself will consist of about 35 men. Twenty-two of these are regular sailors, whose sole duties will be to watch out for the Jow lines. The rest of the crew will be made up of engineers, electricians and other mechanical experts. In order to get the very best men possible extra In ducements were made to ship aboard the dock, and the result Is a magnlfl cent body of men. Bight of the ex perienccd mechanics and engineers are to remain attached to the dock, which Is to be their home for fou lears. the contracts being for that length of time. The dock was floated on the morn partment of the United States and other countries as well, until she safe ly drops her anchors In the quiet waters of Sublg Bay. There has been much doubt ex pressed as to whether the trip can be made In safety. The floating dock at Havana, Cuba, was towed to that port from Scotland, but that voyage was short In comparison with that which confronts the Dewey; as the perils of the sea were much fewer with many more chances to make safa harbors In case of bad weather and to enable the tugboats to take on coal. Every precaution known to expert naval men will be taken on the Jour ney. The size of the dock and Its un wleldliness can be appreciated when It is known that the mere work of rais ing her anchors required two full days. The anchor equipment is very Intricate; regularly she uses eight 4fl00-pound anchors at either end these will be used when she reaches Olongapo. On the voyage she will use her specially made S000-pound emergency anchors, two at each end The expedition will comprise, be side the big dock, the powerful col Hers. Caesar and Brutus, both of nihleh have undergone special prep arations for their strenuous undertak ing, to do the pulling, and the naval lUB , .,... .... ,B..a .... , io, and It was Immediate- supply ship Glacier, to be attached " ti.i to either side of the dock to hold her straight under her voyage. This ar rangement will follow in channels where there Is not ample sea room. It Is estimated that the tow, when stretched out, will reach for a mile and a quarter so It w ill be seen plainly of sea room will be needed. The commander of the expedition is of the opinion that It will be neces sary to place one of the steamers be hind the dock in certain weather con ditions In order to make her follow straight. While in f;ilr weather the big dock will draw only about seven feet, when a blow comes on it will be submerged to about IS feet. Cn account of the shape of the dock it is estimated that the wind pressure in a blow will be something like 350 tons. Against this the combined strength of the tow can Just about hold steady against wind and sea. Left to Itself In a gale, the big dock would he much the same as a full rigged ship with all sails set, and would be speedily driven from Its course. The matter of speed of the tow Is altogether conjecture. The only basts for calculation is the tow of the big dry dock Algiers some years ago from the Capes to the mouth of the Mis sissippi river. This dock was 100 feet shorter than the Dewey, and even then many troubles were encounter ed, and the average speed equaled only 100 miles a day. Enough water will be admitted Into her compartments to bring her drift down to 12 feet, to give her stability, ana the sections or tne uock nave been so strongly braced and keyed together that It Is believed by con structors that there Is no danger of the structure collapsing or "hogging" when It rides two or three big Atlan tic rollers. It Is calculated In case of severe storms and high winds to throw off the tow lines and submerge the dock 30 or 40 feet below the sur face of the sea, leaving only the up per work exposed, which would, In case of need, make a very safe lee for the towing vessels to Me in until Eleven American horses will run Defines "Swear" Words.

The tests began on June 23, when the cruiser Colorado was placed the dock, and remained for 24 hours, She rested as light as a feather, an the test was proclaimed a success every particular. The next day th battleship Iowa was placed in th dock, and while there underwent Im provements to her hull. The big doc nroved Its self-docking abilities, an the formal handing over of the doc to the United States government took place. To get a proper sense of tho size this dock, it must be seen. To begl with, it contains a trifle over 11,000 tons of steel, the riveting of which required something over 2,000.000 rivets. So great In bulk Is It thn.. when painters gave It Its single coat It required 130 tons of red lead and linseed . The dock Is 500 feet long over all. It Is 100 feet between tho fenders and 134 feet wide over all. It is 42 feet high clear of the pontoons and 04 feet high frqm the bottom. Its side walls are 14 feet thick and Its pon toons are 18-1-2 feet deep. When light -it has a draft of 6 1-S feet, but requires 63 feet of water to give a draft of 30 feet above the blocks. The dock Is fitted up with hand some quarters, equal to the best equipped man-of-war afloat. It has its own electric plant and has Its own apparatus for making fresh water and Ice from the ocean brine. It Is equipped also with a complete ma. chine shop. The original price In the contract was $1,127,000, but this fig ure of the cost has been augmented somewhat by additional machinery Installed. The dock will bo of great usefulness In the Philippines. At the present time the United States government has no docking facilities worthy of the name in the Pacific waters. With the dry dock stationed at Olongapo, and our coal supply there kept up, It will make a most powerful adjunct to the Pacific squadron At present when a cruiser or bat tleship must be repaired, It Is to Japan or Hongkong that the damaged steam er must go and there await Its turn or until the home government has no use for the dock, and then, on top of that, pay a very high charge. It Is In time of war, however, that the true value of the dock would be felt, for then the navy would have a constant base not only of supplies, but for re pairs and ro-coaling.

The nt the nrenosltlon "by wun sev- ral of the words used In the lmagln- rv remark quoted, would cnange mntters mightily and turn slang Into bad words. According to Mr. iu, a nerson can say, "Hell, but I am noi, ...I it is all r ent, proviaea me vi- . , . . . tkA ,,uu nf son does not oujeci - slang. But let him say. "By hell, but am hot," and an oath is uuerea. it and little fishes," Is permissible k tho society, but "lou are a uiu. tin sod" Is all wrong. In the first Instances tne woros hell" and "ye gods" are usea m inc ahstract. When the expression uj hell" Is used the person swears by something, the realm of his satanlc majesty. When a person Is caned a little tin god." there is a profane com parlson with the Deity, which Is not so In the expression of "ye gous aim little fishes," for the application or comparison is with Idols. Damn Not a Swear W ortl, Courts have decreed that damn Is not a swear word, ana tne Ann- Profanity society does not seek to place Itself above the law. "Gosh," shucks." "fiddlesticks" and tne line are slang words, so Mr. Lett sayi the same as "fudge." "darn It," etc. Explaining himself more fully the na tional secretary says: The use of a word used to desig nate the Deity, when used In con damnation or any other sense, is swearing, because It Is taking God's name In vain. The use of the prepo sition "by," In connection with the Deity, such as 'by God,' or 'by the Lord,' Is swearing, because you take God's name In vain. The words 'hell' devil' can be used In such a man ner as not to be considered profanity, but when you say 'by hell" or 'by late the Biblical text I have Just the devil' you swear, because you vlo given you; you swear by him, an evil spirit, or by his satanlc majesty's realm. You swear by something to use profanity. The use of a single word Is not swearing. Then It merely an expression or exclamation. Our society urges upon all moral citizens not to converse with men who swear, without first calling their attention to their objectionable habit That will do more than anything else to stamp out swearing. Men . who swear In the presence of children are the men we are after. Children copy men. We are opposed to slang be cause It Is not polite and Is often the stepping stone to profanity.1 Spring Styles We have just received a complete line of samples in Ladies' Suits, Jackets and Skirts No Two Alike We can save you 25 per cent on your Spring Jacket, Suit or Skirt.
