“We want the farmers to know that
we are anxious to help them secure
farm hands,” Mr. Myers said, "and a
request for laborers to either of these
officials wi>i bring a quick reply.”
Mr. Myers said that Deputy Domin-
guez at El Paso had found a surplus
of farm hands there and was divert-
ing them to the fields of West Texas.
The most of them have immigrated
into this country from Mexico.
Mr Myers is also planning to make
a survey of the laborers who have mi-
grated northward in the last four
months. This will be made through
the fifty-odd licensed employment bu-
reaus scattered over Texas. The sur-
vey will extend from June 1 to Sep-
tember 1.
There has been no noticeable migra-
tion of negroes from Texas to north-
ern states, Mr. Myers said. A survey
of the migration from March 1 to June
1 of this year showed that only 16 ne-
groes had been sent from Texas by la-
bor employment agencies, he said.

MYERS HAS PLAN FOR
RELIEVING LABOR SHORTAGE
Austin, Texas, Sept. 5.—Labor Com-
missioner Joseph S. Myers has an-
nounced institution of a plan for re-
lieving the farm labor shortage that
will bring the quickest results to the
farmers. He said that some farmers
balked at the idea of taking the prop-
osition of securing farm hands up
with the slate labor department, be-
cause they thought it would involve
a great deal of “red tape.” Mr. My-
ers’ plan is to bring the farmers in
direct touch with deputy labor com-
missioners over the state and there-
by eliminate necessity of bringing
their requests for laborers to Austin.
Deputy commissioners have been re-
cently stationed at San Antonio, El
Paso, Dallas and Waco, Mr. Myers sm-
nounced, and farmers seeking help
should get in touch with these depu-
ties. The deputies and their address-
es follow:
M. A. Dominguez, McCoy Hotel, El
Paso; J. M. Denton, Texas Hotel, Dal-
las; E. H. Banks, 309 1-2 Austin Ave-
nue, Waco; A. L. Garrett, Travellers
Hotel or Market Plaza, San Antonio.
Requests sent to either of these
commissioners will bring immediate
replies, Mr. Myers said. South Texas
farmers should communicate with the
San Antonio deputy, West Texas with

Washington, Aug. 31.—The addition
of the battleship Colorado, which was
commissioned at Camden, New Jersey
today to the United States battle fleet
once more places the navy in undis-
puted possession of that trophy of
marine construction, ‘‘the most power-
ful fighting machine afloat.”
i Navel engineers of the principal
maritime powers practically without
exception have conceded that the 33,-
000 ton, 21 knot monster, electrically
equipped throughout and with the abil-
ity to toss eight tons of metal and ex-
plosives 34,500 yards, is without an
tequal on any of the seven seas.
Formal acceptance of the Colorado
by the Navy Department today marks
the end of the work of rounding out
the first line of the United States bat-
tle fleet as alotted by the five power
treaty. During the next eight years
—until 1931—no keel will be laid in
any American yard for a first class
naval ship. In that year, work will
be begun on ships to replace three of
the present fleet.
The new Queen of the Seas Is de-
scribed in marine circles as a “vast ex-
perimental laboratory.” The most ad-
vanced designs in ship equipment of
every sort have been installed, from
her huge propelling motors to the
dainty electric potato peelers in the
galley. These will be tested arduous-
ly and the results placed at the dis-
posal of American shipbuilders for
their guidance in building the nation-
al merchant marine and the future
navy.
Authorized in the navy bill of 1916,
the Colorado was constructed at the
Camden yards of the New York Ship-
building Company on a “cost plus fee’’
basis which brought her total cost to
$27,000,000. Her main offensive arm-
ament comprises eight 16-inch guns,
the largest permitted under the Wash-
ington convention treaty, mounted in
four turrets. To make these terrific-
ally effective, there is a system of fire
control declared to be superior to any
yet emplaced either at sea or on land.
The main control station is located at
the top of one of the 140-foot cage
masts, with several duplicate stations
in more protected parts of the ship
for use if the mast is shot away in ac-
tion. Preliminary tests of the control
resulted in the statement by naval
gunners that the Colorado’s entire
broadside can be released in less than
one minute after the enemy's posi-
tion is reported by the accompanying
sir force.
The defensive equipment also in
a feature oi the new ship, tests having
proven she can be brought to a full
stop from a forward speed of 21 kuots
in 3 minutes and run backward at not
les3 than 15 knots. This was impos-
sible in the steam turbine driven ves-
sel.
The Colorado will possess all the
conveniences of a well equipped city.
■Within her hull are spacious quarters
for her complement of 1,469 officers
and men, as well as reading and writ-
ing rooms, a recreation room, special
ladies’ room for visitors, laundry with-
out limitation as to the number of
pieces to be handled, a barber shop,
a tailor shop, cobbler shop and mov-

SHOULDER STOOP
CMS OLD AGE.
SAYS PHYSICIAN
By Associated Preaa
Portsmouth, Sept. 1.—-Dr. Peter Mc-
Donald startled the British Medical
Association conference here by stat-
45 calibre ing that a stoop of the shoulders
causes old age—a direct inversion of
the popular theory.
He said that by following the advice
of a laymen he threw a score of years
50 from his shoulders.
' “I was feeling old and decrepit,” ex-
planied Dr. McDonald, “when I picked
up a book, published by this layman,
from a bookstall. 1 was then a pre-
maturely aged matt.
1 saw the author, and he told me
that I was old simply because I stoop-
ed. Under the treatment lie laid

The actual work of the session then
begins wtih a discussion of the an-
nual report of the secretary general,
Sir Eric Drummond, on the activities
of the council during the past year
and with a statement of what has
been done to make effective the re-
commendations of the previous as-
sembly. After a debate, the assembly
usually divides itself into six general
committees. These include constitu-
tional and legal questions, such as
amendments to the covenant of the
league; the work of the technical or-
ganizations on economics, finance,
transit and health; the question of re-
duction of armaments; the budget
and other matters of internal adminis

such as the admission of new states.
