HYDROPLANE is FASTEST
Boat Shps Over Surface Of Water
Like q Flat Pebble.


Like a Flat Pebble.
When W. H. Fauber OF bicycle
crank hanger fame invented the n.y.
droplane he conceived and perfected
what many people believe is the ship
of the future; a craft the design of
which will revolutionize water trans
portation and will eventually make
ocean voyages at the rate of a hun
dred miles an hour a reality.
A hydroplane is exactly what the
name implies: hydro-(water), plane
-(skim), "a water skinner.
Skip q nat pebble over the surface
of water and II 1t skins or planes
right 1t viii go q Long ways, because
there is no resistance and the power
behind II is sufficient Throw a rock
with twice Of three times the force
through, instead Of over the water, and
IT stops almost instantly. This Is the
principle of the hydropiane. Instead
OF encounterfng and displacing water,
creating suction and a friction, like
the old style boat, the hydropiane,
through its design, II forced to the top
Of the water, then ghdes over instead
of through IT. Therefore the hydro
plane boat has az much opportunity
for speed over the old-style boat as the
rock you skip" has over the one you
pushed through the water.
When FaUber thought he had the
hydroplane idea perfected he built
fifteen models before he secured one
which demonstrated the success OF his
theory. Each Of them rose to the sur
face Of the water under power but az
the power was increased the bow
would sink and the motors had TO be
shut on to preFent them from zofng

A New Back for an Old One-How It
Is Done in Rock Island.


The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are SO
lame to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply a plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach
the cause. Exchange the bad back
for a new and stronger one. Follow
the example OF this Rock Island citi-
zen.

Only One Trunk. for Him

From the National Magazine.
 A quiet young faced, white-haired man leaned over his Morris chair be- fore one of the big fireplaees on the Lusitania as she was pounding her way through head seas in a westerly gale on her trip to New York. just be- fore last Christmas and said, addressing g the young man beside him, John, per haps you had better put all your duti- able things In one trunk in order to facilitate the customs examinations at New York"
 The young man replied instantly: "Why, dad. I've only got one trunk you know that!"
 There was silence for moment and then a short, hearty laugh on the part of the father. The little instance was not discussed, but those present knew that the father was proud in his heart because of the genuineness of the boy s answer, the entire absence of pretense, and his unconscious refusal to stand for what might have been a pretty good bluff on the modern trans Atlantic voyager's allotment of unnecessary baggage.
 The son was clear-cut specimen of the young American; the father was James A. Farrell, who has ecently be- come the head of the greatest industrial combination (other than the German empire-the real and model article In the way of business cobination) that the world has eyer known. tsa
