Difference In the Strain That Comet
Upon Its Two Parts.

The rudder OF n wooden ship is com
posed Of the stalk and the backing
which are SO joined together as t,
form in effect single piece. TIL
complete rudder is coppered TO protec
It from worms. and then. besides bein;
practically all in one piece it has tina
appearance also.
The stalk IS the part to which are At
tached the pintles, or pivOts, by whici
the rudder is suspended and held il
place, these going through eyes set j!
the ships sternpost. The stalk runs H.
through the stern of the ship, and f
its head is b0lted a cap to which are al
tached the ropes by means Of which tn
rudder is controlled. The backing is tht
blade part of the rudder.
BY far the greater strain comes OF
the stalk, and the greatest strain of al
comes on the head of the stalk, thu
rudder head, where it is held. tn,
stalk is made of the wood most likel,
to stand the strain, carefully selected
sound, well seasoned oak, while tn
backing is made of spruce or hard pine
The stalk is of a single, solid, massiv
pISCc, otOut as an odh tl1S anu AheASt'
Of the dimensions of a small oak, some
thing that a man can pin his faith to
if he can have faith in any wood, while
the backing or blade is, like many mod
ern wooden masts, built up. 1t would
be difficult if not impossible to FIND
trees that would yield planks big
enough for the purpose in single
piece, and the built up backing, made
of pieces of selected wood, can easily
be made of ample strength to with
stand any strain that will be brought
upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as tbd
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force Of a tremendous blow from
a wave upon the rudder or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the heaC
may split and so make the stalk use
less Then the rudder is taken out an(
fitted with a new stalk. A suita biz
stick is selected and worked down t
the proper size and form, and very
probably the old backing is attached tt
it. The life of a rudder stalk would
probably be twelve to fourteen years
The backing might last as long as thu
ship.-Nav York Sun.

MISS STUBS ASKS
FOR THE NOMINATION
State StatiStician Makes For
NAL Announcement.
CRY OF ELIGIBILITY RAISED

Indianapolis, Oct. S-Before Miss
Mary Stubs, who has been state sta
hstician by appointment since Deem
Der. 1906, announces herself as a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for that office, Attorney General Bling
ham will be asked to give a written
opinion as to the legal right of a wom-
an to hold state office by election.
Miss Stubbs's father, the late Jo-
seph STUDIOS, was reelected state stat
tstician in November, 1906, but died
before his second term began. Govern
or Hanly then appointed the daughter
to serve not only the remainder of her
fathers first term, but also the two
years of the second term. At that time
the question was raised whether a
woman could be appointed to a state
office in Indiana and the governor
sought a legal opinion from Charles
w. Miller, then attorney general. Mr.
Miller was of the opinion that Miss
Stubs could hold the office bv an
pointment, but further than that he
did not go. He said nothing concern
ing the right Of woman to be elected
to the office.
1t is now reasonably certain that
Miss Stubs will be a candidate be.
fore the next Republican state con-
vention. The cry has already been
raised by prospective opponents that
she is not eligible and it is to set
these contentious at rest that she will
call upon Attorney General Bingham
for an opinion. 1t is said on the best
of authority that she has assurance
from a number of the best lawyers OF
the state that the constitution of the
->ate does not bar her

Advantage is Being Taken of
The New Road Law, e.
fective in Indiana.
Red TAPE Is ATTACHED.
IN CASE AT PRESENT PENDING,
FIFTY OR MORE CITIZENS OF
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP ARE
ACTIVE.

The first road petition under the
newly operative Indiana road law has
been filed and the initial steps taken
by the board of Wayne County COM
missioners. There is an abundance OF
red tape" attached to the procedure
and in numerous counties of the state
there have been complaints made that
the new statute will be the means OF
increasing greatly the burden of tax
alton in the townships.
In the case at present pending in
Wayne county, fifty or more citizens
of Washington township petitioned for
a new road and yesterday was the day
set for the preliminary hearing. The
commissioners will, 1t Is understood,
issue an order for viewers to pass up
on the matter The viewers already
have been named, though the formal
order has not been placed upon the
commissioners record. One of the
viewers, under the law. must be civil
engineer, who is required, for some
cause not wholly understood, to file a
bond for $4,000 before he can serve.
A profile of the proposed road must
be prepared and passed upon. If the
road is three miles or over in length
a special election must be held to per.
NIT the voters of the township to de.
eide whether such road shall be built
In the Washington township case
however, the contemplated road is un.
der three miles In length, so no cleo.
ton will be necessary. Bonds must
be issued to pay for the cost Of con
struction, and though the bonds be-
come obligations Of the township fin
ally, the county must dispose of them
meet the expense incurred and then
levy tax against the township to re
lmburse the county.
Under the old road law, a petition
also has been filed for a new road
w. d. Elwood and others ask for the
construction Of new road in Center
township and the abandonment of ar
old one. Lewis Hampton, Theodore
Gist and Samuel Barnes were appoint
ed viewers.
