MARYLAND IS
GREATEST OF
WAR VESSELS
NEWPORT NEWS, March 24 (by
Associated Press).—The battleship
Maryland, which was launched here
last Saturday, is the first of four ships
of her class to be launched, and is one
of the ten superdreadnaughts author
ized in the first three-year building
program adopted in 1916. With a
length of 624 feet over all, a beam of
§7 feet, and full load displacement of
32,950 tons, she is the largest fighting
crafft built for the American navy,
and when commissioned will be one
of the most powerful battleships in
the world.
Originally designed to carry twelve
14-inch rifles, the plans for the ship
were so changed during the war that
she will carry instead eight 16-inch
guns—the first of this size ever mount
ed on a ship. They will be placed two
each in four turrets on the center line,
two forward and two aft. They will
be larger by one inch than the great
guns on the British ships of the Queen
Elizabeth class, which were used in
the bombardment of the Dardanelles.
Battleships designed since the Mary
land was laid down, however, will be
even more powerful. They will carry
* twelve 16-inch rifles and will measure
684 feet over all, with a displacement
of 4^.200 tons. Their speed will be 23
knots, as against the 21 knots of the
Maryland, and practically all previ
ous classes of American dreadnaughts.
The Maryland’s keel was laid on
April 24, 1917, eighteen days after the
United States declared war on Ger
many. Work on her was delayed by
reason of the rush in getting out de
stroyers to fight submarines, but it
has been rushed since the armistice
and the vessel is now nearly three
quarters completed. She will be elec
trically driven by four propellers, the
power for which will be furnished by
turbines of approximately 29,000 horse
Steam will be furnished by eight oil
burning boilers.

As a successful business man you are directly interested I
inefficiency—in overhead costs. You are quick to adopt |
proven methods which reduce operating costs and the la
bor of your employes—men and women. |
Being busy you can not be expected to supervise the
work in the home, but a little thought on the wash-day
problems of the wife might prove interesting. As you
are by nature more inclined to figures, it will pay you to
consider this problem and compare costs.

Besides the saving of more than $4 a month in money,
consider the saving to you and your wife of her beauty,
youthfulness, patience and her health, which are inesti
mable. For these reasons, and for your own comfort, this
question DEMANDS the attention of every husband and
father.
When you figure this home washing question from the
standpoint of dollars, health, comfort and happiness, it is
absolutely false economy for your wife to continue doing
her own washing, or even having it done at home. Re
lieve her of this work and worry of wash day—take the
initiative. Call up Phone 66 and our MR. LONG will
gladly call on you and explain prices and our system.
