Italians Revert to Sails for Training Rome.--Giant modern three-masted sailing vessels, bnilt of iron and with a speed up to 14 knots, are being used by Italy as training craft for naval cadets and seamen. After several years wherein steamships were employed for training purposes. the navy department has decided to return definitely to the sailing vessels. The opinion here Is that the Instruction the- midshipman receives aboard these boats is superior to that gained aboard a steam or motor boat. The Italian navy now has one superb three-master, the Cristoforo Colombo, completed last year. In June of next year another, the Amerigo Vespucci, will be ready. The Cristoforo Colombo Is a copy of the old Italian frigate Vlttorlo Eramanuele, but i«as an auxiliary Diesel engine. Quarters for crew and officers vie with those aboard anyjjattieship. And it carries usually 120 midshipmen. Washington Was the ^ '/y%Father of West Point Bs Dream of a Great Military Academy Will Be Fully Realized in 4932 Another project dear to George J act upon Washington's idea, and such Washington will take on final form \ wer® the beginnings of West Point, with the addition of 15,000 acres of land to the reservation of the United States Military Academy at West Point, thus rounding out the scope of the school as Washington desired it to be. The dedication of this additional land, it has been learned by the Division of Information and Publication of the George- Washington Bicentennial Commission, has been most appropriately set for next year, WS2, the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Washington's birth. Probably no military locality figured more often than West Point in Three rough buildings had been erected, to house a library, an engineers' school, and a laboratory. Preliminary practice in gunnery also was set up. That Washington had in mind the future development of West Point is shown by the fact that at Newburgh, in 1783, he laid before his generals further plans for a more extensive academy there, for artillerists, engineers, and cadets. But not until after the War, when he was President, had he the tim£ or the authority to give effect to his ideas. In 1794, during his Administration, he recommended to Congress suggestions for the upbuilding of a school for thorough and complete military JOHNSBTO<f TVfr. and Mrs. George Obenauf of Grayslake were callers at the Ben Schaefer home Friday.

How Cracible Is Made Numerous materials are used In thje manufacture of crucibles, each having its own peciyiar advantages and disadvantages. Platinum is an ideal material for many purposes, but it is exceedingly expensive and it cannot be used for the fusion of metals. Nickel is sometimes used Instead on account of Its cheapness. Clay, or mixture of clay with sand, graphite, or old broken crucibles, Is a favorite material, and Hessian crucibles, composed of equal parts of clay and sand, are In very general use. |Bttchlnfti»m Pboto-J T.
