The most interesting announce.
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White. Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos.
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public.
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos.
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in,
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one

Brooklyn Flag Factory.

One of the biggest official flag fac.
tories in the world is in the Brooklyn
navy yard. Between eighty and one
hundred women work there all the
year round making flags for the use
of Uncle Sans fighting ships. They
use up 10000 yards of bunting year
and fashion 41S different kinds of Off
cial flags. The flags cost 100000 a
year.

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer Is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple Of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that II is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.

WHO PAYS FOR MILK AT SEA
Owner Of Cows Thinks Steamship
Company Should Reimburse Him
for Product Enjoyed by Crew.

Seattle. Wash.-A puzzling milk
problem has been presented to steam
ship owners here. The cows gave
milk while they were aboard the
steamer; they were MIXED punctual.
ly each day and the milk was used by
the crew. These facts are admitted,
but now the question is, who is to pay
the owners of the cows?
This is the knotty problem which
has been put upt to Albert Schubach,
president Of the Schubach- Hamilton
Steamship Company. Mr.. Schubach
says this claim is the most absurd of
the thousands which big steamship
companies receive annually.
John Kehoe Of Tanana is the claim.
ant. and he declares that unless the
company pays for the milk used by
the members Of the steamer Mackin-
avs crew he will seek legal redress.
Mr.. Schubach has replied, stating that
the company is in no wise responsible
for what disposition was made of the
product from the gentle bovines.
When the steamer left Seattle in
June kehoe shipped four fine cows to
st. Michael. The Mackinaw was Is
days en- route, having spent several
days ashore on the Yukon flats. The
COWS gave their milk each day, and il
helped to elaborate the bill Of fare
Now kehoe wants pay for five gallons

gallons.
In replying to Kehoe President
Schubach tersely says:
"As to the milk you say was used
for Is days, | would like to know
what you would have done with it
You would have had to leave it in the
cows. thrown it overheard or drunk il
yourself. You had a perfect right tc
refuse it to the crew. as the milk was
yours. You gave 1t to them without
understanding on our part. 1t is VI

NOTES OF PROGRESS AT
HOWARD UNIVERSITY

Work on the Carnegie Library IS
being pushed. It's dimensions have
been increased and a granite floor
with marble base has been provided
for the first floor. An expert cata-
loguer has been added to the force
and Miss Lula Allen has been elect
ed assistant to the Librarian.
Plans for the new Science Hall
were adopted by the Department OF
the Interior, which has entire charge
of the building, after competition in
which eight architects took part.
The Department has advertised for
bids for building and ground will be
be broken the middle of September.
The hall measures I25 X so, and will
be provided with the most advanced
scientific equipment. 1t will be OF
unmeasured value to the College and
School of Medicine.
Until now the School of Law has
had but one regular lecture hall. In
