Conservation of Leg Power.

pulley attached to the rear wheel of the
bicycle, which runs a small dynamo rig
ged on a board behind the seat The
dynamo operates a Six-volt, ten-candle-
power lamp. There Is enough power left
above the requirements of the lamp to
ring bell continuously. The belt, which
connects the pulley wheel with two other
pulleys on countershaft. is SO sized as
to increase the speed four times. Thus,
the dynamo attains a speed of 5000
revolutions a minute when the bicycle is
travelling at a rate of five miles an hour.
Before the rider has gone fifty feet his
lamp is brightly lighting the way. There
is no chance of arrest for the violation

grinding away at the pedals he is bound

Speeding on Moth Balls.
A process for the manufacture of a
synthetic gasoline at cost Of about
2 cents a gallon has been evolved.
The basic ingredients of this fuel are
napthaline, the white powder of which
moth balls are made, and water. When
the automobilists consider the moth ball
in this new light the housewives Of the
land will have to find some other means
for banishing the moth. Gasoline at a
cost of 2 cents gallon! If this can
be verified, demonstrated and upheld the
speeders on the speedway will be ticking
off their miles of road on moth ball fuel
next year.
have already disposed of a patent on ar
NOR plate to the United States govern
ment for $350,OO0. He Is a Portuguese
American, formerly sailor and later a
mill worker in Pittsburgh. Motorists
will probably build for him a handsome
statue, while bis memory will live in the
whirr of many wheels through long, hur-
rying years of racing hither and thither
over the continent.
There are some other chemicals used
in the new gasoline besides moth balls
and water. What they are the inventor
will not say, nor will he permit his mix
ture to be analyzed. He maintains, how
ever, that all of these various ingredients
are very cheap and that they are only
used in relatively small proportions.
Moth powder is the mainstay.
The new fuel was tested on a car
weighing $500 pounds, and it ran 12.5
miles on a measured gallon of the fluid
1t had a range of from four miles to
dfty-five miles on high. With gasoline
the same car ran upon one gallon Ito
miles, with a range OF from three to
sixty-one miles This looks bad for moth
balls-as such.

the fine architecture of the buildings. The
municipal government offers an annual
prize for the most artistic building erect

supplements this prize by exempting the
building from taxation for certain num-
ber of years. Again. under the building

Principal Money Loss.

The principal money loss caused by the
latter pest occurs at the summer resort,
where the prevalence Of what has come
to be known as the ''browntail rash"
keeps people away. The hairs Of the
browntail caterpillar are finely barbed
and brittle, and where they come in con-
tact with the human skin these hairs
enter the skin pores break Off and cause
a severe irritation. 1t Is not always nee
esary for the caterpillar to come in con-
tact with the skin. for at certain times
of the year the hairs are floating in the
air.
The more recent recruits in the war
against the moths are numerous species
of true parasites. which have been i'm
ported from Europe and Asia. Chief
among them is the Calosoma beetle,
whose specially is the devouring Of leaf
get a start, these beetles are now thriv-
ing in this country, and are expected to
exterminate millions of the moths dur
ing the present summer. Another recruit
is the japanese egg parasite, the Sche-
dius kuvanae. which undergoes Its en-
tire development in a single gypsy moth
egg.

How the Moths Spread,

Since the young of the moth prefer the
leaves Of certain trees for food, the states
are removing these trees from the forests
subject to the moth attack In some
cases the problem may mean ultimate
reforestation. The female gypsy moth
does not fly. but the species was spread
when the insect, while in the caterpillar
stage, crawled on trolley cars, automo-
piles and other vehicles and upon the
clothes Of pedestrians
rms condition was remedied by driving
the pests from the highways for a dis
lance OF 90 to 100 feet. Enormous wire
screens, coated with sticky substance
to entangle them, erected to the wind
ward OF infected woods, demonstrated the
lact that many young caterpillars, sus-
pended by their silken thread, were car
rled by the wind to distance of six
miles or more. and the attacking forces
are now concentrating their efforts along
the border of spread. AS an added pre-
caution against spread of the pests, all
products shipped from the infested re-
g1on are rigidly inspected for the larvae
Of the insect.
The female browntail moth is a strong
flyer, but fortunately she is not 80 hard
to control. Early spring and fall spray
ing and the cutting OFF and burning of
the characteristic winter nests have
brought wonderful results.

FOR CLUB HOUSE AND WARk

The plans for the Dornick Hill
country club house have been drawn
and accepted by the board OF direc-
tors and work on the building will
begin within the next thirty days.
The building is to cost approximate
ly $4,000 and will be a comfortable
place for the members to spend an
afternoon Perry Maxwell recently
purchased the county farm at auc-
ton and it .adioins the country
club has added sixty acres to The
club grounds and a full IS hole golf
course will be laid out.
Too much praise cannot be given
Perry Maxwell for his untiring ef.
fort in establishing a country club
in this city, when the idea was first
hroached many of the members were
skeptical and did not believe it could
lie done but Mr.. Maxwell weht to
work and the first that any one in
the city knew outside of himsels WAS
when he invited several ont to try
their hands at the game on ground
that had been roughly prepared by
him. Once the bug got tc work
there was no stopping them and now
with 125 members the Dorn'ck Hill
club is going to be the best thug
of the kind in the stlIe. Golfers
from other cities who have access
to great country clubs sta.e that
without doubt the grounds here are
the best that could be 'a3ired in
fact 1t is as near a perfect course
as will be found anywhere and al.
ready some of the state experts, in.

out. BY the first of Septembe" the
club house will be finished and when |
the house warming takes place the |
citizens of the city will be shown |
what few devotees of the ancient
game Of golf can do when they want |
to play.

chosen for the ensuing year and the

APPROVES WEST EDITORIAL
Does Not Like Proposed Prohibition
Amendment. Reviews News
of Week.

Editor Ardmoreite:
Notwithstanding | have been very
busy this week fighting weeds and
grass | devote a time after supper
in reading your daily, and discussing
the important matter it contains with
my family
Attorney General Vests defense of
democracy was one of the most time
ly articles we have seen for many a
day. Whether it was the mature
product OF true and patriotic demo
crat or the mere pirate of the poll
tician is a question | shall not at
tempt to solve, but the article was
timely, manly and aprOpos. All he
said has been done by the democracy
of Oklahoma and the party deserves
praise for these good things Like
another contributor to Ardmoreite
don't know that | shall vote for Mr.
West for governor but we might do
worse by voting for some other man
To say the least | am satisfied that
West is not only a good democrat,
but that he is an honest man.
The next important news item dur.
ing the week was a proposed amend
ment to the state constitution il
regard to prohibition, Just such
stuff as is proposed in the new bill
would make a wooden man laugh.
The politicians of Oklahoma have
been wrongly taught Every new bill
initiated is full of graft While
am an anti-prohibitionist I can't vote
for such a measure as is proposed
in this amendment. | favor high IL
cense for saloons and that the law
regulate the manner in which they
are run. l also favor a law that
places no restriction upon the num-
ber in a city or county. If a man
wants to run a saloon let him go
to the proper authority and purchase
his license
If you empower board to pass
upon who shall have these licenses
you open wide the doors of graft

he noticed the unfOrtunates, their hair
disheveled, who seemed to be calling

to rescue them when a young actor,
hero of the drama, picked them up,

King finding he had been included in

the desire that it be destroyed. The
last half of the drama had to be played
without his assistance.
