two other engine rooms will be lo-
Gated near the base of the cone In
each end of the ship, the passenger
cabin being located IN the center.
The four engines eaphf weigh III
pounds and generate thirty-Ewo' horse
power. They are of a speciaa gPtaff-g
type and are practically vibrationless.
They have been tested for months and
found to work perfectly under all con-
ditions. Each of the engines in the
end Of the ship is located but twenty
one inches from the propellers.

on flexible shafts and are connected
by ball and socket joints. 1t is there
fore possible for them to be- turned to
pull straight ahead or at any desired
angle. Thus it is not necessary for the
airship to depend upon rudders for
steering and SO be always more or
less at the mercy of wind currents.
Its course can always be altered by
changing the angle at which the pro-
pellers are pulling, and 1t can even
turn in its own length If necessary.
The side propellers are also mounted
on flexible shafts and can be made to
pull straight up or down or forward or
Mt any angle between these directions.
These side propellers, 1t is claimed.
will make 1t possible for the airship
to be almost entirely independent OF
ballast during flight. They will make
1t possible for the ship to ascend or
descend to Its landing place in a YER
teal line or to rise suddenly to higher
attitudes In order to avoid storms and
wind currents. When the propellers
are all pulling directly forward it is
expected they will give the airship a
speed of sixty miles an hour.
The covering of the airship is COM
posed of $500 square ycpds of the
finest pongee silk and is metallized by
a special process so as to increase it's

UNABLE TO FIND
THE STOLEN CANNON

No trace OF the cannon taken from
the city hall early Saturday morning
has been found. Policeman Ira Ware
and state ranger c. H Webster rode
along the river from 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning until 8 o'clock in the
evening Of the same day and failed
to find any trace of it
Rangers Moore and Craighead rode
up from Ysleta along the river bank
and the four met at a point about
two miles west of YsIeta.
Ware says he believes the cannon is
in hiding some place near Washington
park and that no attempt was made
to take it across the river, as the
earth is soft there and the ruts OF the
wheels would have been very plain
There were no marks near the park
to indicate that it had been taken
there, but 1t had been reported that
the cannon was seen passing the park
at $3.50 Saturday morning

WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton OF the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs can
not be brought back to health and
strength
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909, in the state OF New York
alone. Therefore, 1t behooves US to
pay more attention to the health Of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y. Mention this paper and they viii
gladly forward it to you absolutely free
by mail
Swamp Root is sold by every drug
gist in bottles of two sizes-50c and
