AUTO BUSINESS

NOW CONSIDERED ONE OF BIG
GEST INDUSTRIES IN
THE WORLD
School Boards In Various places Ar

Businesa

ocnoOi oosTos IN various places Ar
range for Study OF the
Business.
In the last ten years the automobile
business has grown so fast that to-
day IL is one OF the big industries OF
the country. Many things have been
said pro and con about the automobile.
but there is no denying the fact that
II has been the means OF putting ciaes
on the map and OF opening up oppor-
tunities TO the skilled working man
such as never before were heard OF
According TO ]. F Hartz. president
OF the RICH Corporation. Detroit. this
great demand for skilful and intelli.
gent workmen has had it's effect on
the pubic school systems n a number
OF cites. The school boards have rec
ognized the opportunities given young
men In the automobile business and
have arranged a special course where
by they can cooperate with automo-
bile factories In giving the young men
practical knowledge OF the trade.
So FAR the most successful plan has
been 10 let the student spend his first
year wholly IN high school studies
The second year he divides his time
equally between school and shop.
working one week at his school stud
les and the next in the automobile
plant Naturally this work Is not com
puisory. as the young man does not
have to select his course until the be-
ginning OF his second year in high
school. At that time he generally
knows whether he is going TO prepare
FOR college or business. and IL the lat
ter. he usually selects the trade
course. This not only gives him good
practical training. but also teaches
him the value OF money. as he Is paid
for the work he does at the factory.
This cooperative educational plan
has been successfully carried out in a
number OF cities In many cases the
hrst year students were found TO be
failures in regular high school work.
but later on showed natural liking
for the practical work ia the shop.
When they leave school, these Young
men md no difficulty IN securing po-
sitiOns and commanding salaries Of
hrst-class mechanics mere are a
number % men filing important posi-
lions IN the RICH plants who got their
start IN this NAV They all credit
their success 70 the early training ana
70 the FACT that they found ont in tho

Central Me. POWerCO.
Declares Dividend.

The Directors of the Central Maine
Power Company held a meeting in Wat
eryille, Tuesday. and voted to pay the
usual quarterly dividend of one and one
half per cent. on the preferred stock.
This is the 2sth regular dividend cover
ing period OF a little more than ~
years, the earlier ones having been paid
semi-annually but all at the rate OF SIX
per cent. per year.
No dividends have ever been paio on
the common stock but the surplus earn
ings have all been used in the purchase
of new apparatus and general improve
ment of the service.
The net earnings for. this year Will
probably not quite equal those OF last
year but there will be no such heavy
falling off as many railroads and other
large companies are reporting. Pubic
confidence in the company's property ana
prospects is well shown by the fact that
its sales of preferred stock have con-
tinued through the past months or de-
preston at the regular price of 800 per
share.
The managers believe the territory in
which the company operates is entitled
to a large measure of prosperity when
normal business conditions return ana
are ready to do all in their power to
bring about that prosperity.

lus-nimbus clouds accompanying thun-
derstorms.
At 10000 feet lie the eirro-cumulus
clouds, producing the effect know as a
mackerel sky. At 10000 feet are the
cirro-stratus clouds, composed of ice
crystals. Whether aerial warfare will
be carried into this frigid region is one
OF the interesting problems of the future
Nimbus rain clouds at height of
about 5000 feet will afford the most per-
feet protection for airships wishing to
conceal from the enemy entirely that
they are operating in the neighborhooa.
An ingenious arrangement has been
planned whereby the airmen can over
come their own inability to see the earth
when sailing above such clouds.
The airship will let down an observer
in basket through the cloud until he is
able to see the earth. As he goes down
he will communicate with his companions
in the ship by telephone. telling them
when he has dropped through the clouds
far enough to see the earth, and finally
what he sees on the earth. 1t may be
necessary to drop the man in the basket
two of three hundred feet. He VIII be
quite invisible from the earth. Needless
to say it will require remarkable courage
and self-possession for the man in the
basket to perform his duties efficiently.
The aerial soldiers of opposing sides
will have terrifying and deadly encoun-
tiers with one another. Here again the
knowledge and use of clouds will be of
vital Importance. \ skiliful air staregist
will note the whereabouts OF a distant
aerial opponent and then fly above a
black rain cloud until he has the enemy
beneath him. Then he. will come crash
ing down through the cloud upon the
unsuspecting foe.
Sometimes aerial opponents will run
against one another unexpectedly in
thick cloud masses and then will come a
horrible combat for each can send the
other to certain death-Spok esman.s

lous. The eggs and larvae require
assiduous and unremitting attention.
At first the founder of the colony at
tends to these humble duties, but pre-
sentlv there are produced great forces
of workers. These are divided into
squads of nurses, soldiers, foragers,
sentinels, explorers and general off,
GERS. The complicated machinery and
autonomy of a general government
come into existence. One of the most
striking characteristics of the ant den
is the observance of sanitary require
ments. Among ants. as among human
folks, the first thought is necessarily
of food While the nurses remain at
home attending the helpless young. the
foragers go forth and tap plants for
Juice, which they carry home for the
general consumption. The young are
fed by reorganization. Many birds
have the same habit of feeding their
nestlings, for instance the cumming
bird and the dove.
The soldiers and the foraging par
ties are perhaps the most interesting
contingents in the ant community.
The ant soldier is valiant fighter. As
a duelist the black ant has a. record
by any student in a Ger
man university. The ant duel Is 10
the death. The ferocity of the efea-
ture in a fight is the most terrific IN
the whole range of Nature. The COM
batants seize each other and close
their powerful mandibles and death
itself will not suffice to break the hold.
The terrible laws seem to become set
and will not loosen
even when the head is cut Off. The
surviving and victorious antagonist
may go about his business with the
dead ant clinging to him.
But duels in antdom are infrequent.
The black ant is an affectionate crea-
ture.
Like all hearted people.
the ant delights in the comforts anu
coziness of warm fire, as the eool
weather approaches. On frosty
morning squad of formica was shak-
en- out of a candy box, where they haa
beeu feasting, but we're now euried up
in the embrace of death. They were
suread out on a piece of brown paper,
which was placed before the crate.
Tho warmth revived the dormant cam
Az eaters and in a few minutes they
we're skipping and frisking about with
great animation. In their JOY tuss
embraced each other most aHectioh-
City Star.
