ALUMINIUM BUBBLES
The Latest Thing in the Auto Line
"Down East"
LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS INTERESTED
One of the New Light Weights
Tried in New York d"
-. Monday. }. 11.r@.a-..s...'.. ~

Automobiles Of aluminium are now being
made in this country. Machines have been
made before with bodies of aluminium on
wooden frames, but the first American
machine made entirely Of aluminium was
given trial in New York: on Monday.
Minneapolis chauffeurs are interested, and
one local enthusiast, whose business will
look at the new machine, and 1t. liz likely
that an American made aluminium dub
BILE" will be the next new thing In autos
to be seen on Nicollet avenue. -.
The machine tried in New York on Mon
day is all of aluminium except for the
motor, which is an import ed ( sixteen
horsepower Pannard. The new machine
was put together for Thomas "A. Griffin,
the wealthy car wheel manufacturer
the white metal being warped and stitched
over the tenders, the slit ching in red
showing up very prettily on the tenders
of patent leather. ......- =. -. n ! q
Emerson Brooks planned the new ma:
chine, and he believes that in short
time anything else but an entire alumni
mum machine will be placed in the back
number lists. ...
The advantages claimed for aluminium
are that 1t is almost as strong as steel
and that, although the light est of all
metals, it can resist the severest strains.
A large tonneau body Of aluminium
weighs less than $50 pounds, while an or
binary one-seat body can be made that
will not weigh more than seventy-1ve
pounds. Another advantage is in the beau
tiful effects that may be obtained. AL
uminum can be worked up into many
graceful designs, Not much has been
said Of the expense of the new machines,
but what does an automobile enthusiast
care about expense, anyway? --s-. ~.

ROCK ISLAND
Full Details Of the Merger
Leeds as President-W.
II. Moore Chairman.

New York, July Silt is authoritative
~ stated that under the Rock Island plans
OF readjustment each holder Of 100 shares
OF common stock is to receive a $4,000
bond, secured by collateral trust mort
gage upon. the present Rock Island stock
In addition to this they receive In tie
Rock Island Company of New Jersey sew
tenty shares in preferred stock and 100
shares in common stock; the preferred
stock is preferred to the extent of per
cent from the earnings of each year for a
period OF seven years. when it becomes
preferred for per cent for an additional
seven years, after which it is preferred 20
the extent of per cent per annum.
The dividend requirement on the pres
ent Rock: Island stock to meet the 4 per
cent on, the bond and per cent on the
amount Of preferred issued, is Z per cent;
and to the common stock accrues all the
net; earnings of the company over and
above the per cent required by the bond
and the preferred stock.
The bond is put up on the present Rock
Island stock by means of Iowa operat-
ing company which buys the stock of the
present Rock Island company. In turn,
the Iowa corporation deposits the stock in
new Jersey holdlng corporation which
issues against it its preferred and com
mon stock. By this means the Iowa COR

tire value of the present Rock Island

company being able in no way to affect
the value Of this underlying issue of COL

WORKING THE SCHOOLS
Eye Specialists Get After the New
York Children.

New York, July advantageous eye dis
eases have reached the proportions OF a
full-fedged epidemic among the school
children of Manhattan, according to re-
port by Health Commissioner Lederly to
the board of education.
f. "a few weeks ago." said he, Gin order
to learn the extent of eye diseases in the
schools of Manhattan appointed twelve
SPECIALISTS to go as far as they could in
the fortnight of the school year then re-
naming. They examined 55.l70 children
in SO schools, and learned that no less
that $50, or II per cent. exhibited con-
tagious eye diseases. OF these 1928
were the severest type of trachona, ne
cessitating almost immediate operation"
In the opinion of the commissioner
these children should be prohibited from
the schools to prevent further contagion.
The commissioner aked that room be
set aside in each building suitable for med
1cal examinations. To this the board
agreed.
Several of its members expressed an
opinion, however, that the reports eff the
special examiners had been grossly ex-
aggerate6. -

FOOD PRICES ALL HIGH
THE RESTAURANTS MOVING UP
Summer Resort Hotels Also Feel
the Strain and Raise
Nosy Yor1s sun Special Service

Prices.
Neso Yor1c sam Special servfce
Chicago, July s1.-William e. Curtis in
an Atlantic City, N. j., special to the
Record Herald, says: There has been an
other advance in hotel and restaurant
charges in New York and at the summer
resorts in this vicinity. At first class
houses, which, until this year, have
charged SIS a day for ordinary rooms, oc-
cupied by transients, IS is now the mini-
mum rate, and the rate, by the week is $35
instead of $40. The esS3', and "$R' houses
have followed the example OF more expen-
siYe places and have increased their rates
by 80 cents and a dollar a day. The
room charges at European hotels remain
unchanged, but the prices on the bills OF
fare have gone up from last year at least
25 per cent all around.
During the last week nearly all the
eating places in New York. the quick
lunch counters as well as the expensive
restaurants, have added 5, 10 or Is cents
to every item, and in the meat lists still
more. Twenty five-cent lunches are now
80 cents at almost all the cheap lunch
counters. The proprietors explain that
this has become absolutely necessary be-
cause of the high prices of almost all
kinds of food supplies.
Market prices for all edibles except
milk, cream, fish, coffee, sugar and a few
other groceries and some other little
things have been creeping up ever since
the Spanish war. Nobody seems to UNDER
stand why, but all concerned agree to the
fact. They infer that beef, NUT ton, pork
and other fresh meats have been crowded
up by the trust; that ham, bacon, and 9TH
er cured meats have gone up because peo-
pie eat them inste Of fresh meat-a
sort of sympathetic strike; that yege-
tables and berries are higher because the
summer has been wet and cool and be-
cause garden truck Of all kinds is away
behind the season; but nobody can explain
why eggs should be % and 80 cents doz-

BANK ON NEW PLAN
Depositor's Credit to Be Good at
Some Department Store.
PARENT CORPORATION IN BOSTON.
Branch Concerns TO he Organized
In Large Cities Including
Minneapolis

Minneapolis will soon have a new
banking concern, to be operated under
what is known as the Thomas y. Taylor
system, novelty IN the west. This sys-
tenn Is peculiar. 1t goes q long ways to-
ward proving that a man may really eat
his cake and keep 1t, too. Under its
operation the head of household may
deposit In the bank money on which inter-
est may be paid at regular rates. He may
then secure credit at designated store
without drawing on his reserve or for
feiting his interest. - r
The American rights to this system are
cantrplled by a corporation organized
few days ago in Boston. 1t is known as
the United States Bankers corporation,
and is capitalized at sc, 0O0, 900. It's object
is to purchase a controlling interest in or
establish new trust company In each
Of the forty large cities of the United
States. The cities in which the expert
ment will be tried first are Boston, Chi
cago, New York, Cleveland, St.. Louis.
Minneapolis, Kansas City, New Orleans
and st. Paul. Ultimately the chain will
include trust companies or banking in
situations Of some sort in every large
city OF the country. In each, a}so,s the
corporation will either make a deal with
some Local department store, or Will es-
tablish a store of Its own.
These trust companies are to have a
capital OF 100000 each, and surplus of
the same amount, the corporation taking
one half Of the stock as organized and the
remaining half being offered to local in
vestors. ..r ~ T., 49,. f. .-2
J. Q. A. Bracket, former governor of
Massachusetts, Is president Of the COM
pany; and John G. Carlisle, secretary Of the
treasury under President Cleveland, is
general counsel. So far as could be
learned to-day, no effort has yet been
made to interest local investors in the
plan, but that will come later.

THE "WINE ROOM CASE
The Right of Cities to Prohibit
Liquor to Females Is
49,, ',=2s Questioned.

Washington, July 31.-A case has been
docketed in the United States supreme
court Intended to test the right Of munic-
1pal corporations to prohibit the sale of
Intoxicating liquors TO females. The case
is that Of Daniel Cronin against the city
Of Denver, Col. Cronin is the owner of a
saloon, and opened wine room for
women. The record shows that he asked
for an injunction to restrain the city from
enforcing an ordinance prohibiting the
maintenance of such place for females,
claiming that the law is unconstitutional,
bcause lit discriminates against women,
and also because 1t deprives him of prop
erty without due process of law. He con-
tended that he had as much right to sell
liquor to women as to men, and that they
have as much right to drink as men have.
He also referred to the circumstances
that equal suffrage prevailed in Colorado,
and argued that since women had been
given the right of suffrage they stand on
the same footing in all respects with men,
and hence ARE entitled to the pursuit of
happiness and the same rational enjoy
ment as their brothers, The district
court upheld this contention, but the find
ing was overruled by the state supreme
court. . E@ '.. - = -

will be novel in this part Of the country
in that the vacuum system, such as is
used in the Andrus, Guaranty and Cham
