Perhaps the most unique training
school OF applied mechanics in this
country is the one conducted by the
Cadillac Motor Car company, where
young men OF eighteen years and older
are taught not only the basis principles
of mechanical engineering, but the
ideals that underlie the construction
of Cadillac cars.
The idea was original with Henry
NJ. Leland. president of the Cadillac
Co. In 1907. Mr.. Leland foresaw that
the growth of the motor car industry
would create an abnormal demand for
mechanical workers OF high ability.
and determined to begin to train men
in his own shops.
The Cadillac school Is special
training department, with equipment
of machinery and class room facilities.
Under the direction OF competent me-
chanical engineers. the students are
given class work in mathematics and
mechanical drawings. obstruction IN

for the production of work of the
highest grade, and daily lectures. H.

responsible positions. Youths under
eighteen are not eligible to the course.

AUTOMOBILE IN
FIRE PROTECTION

To successfully motorize the horse
Of the big problems of the fire en-
gineer. A new method by which the
boiler. engine and pump are all
mounted on q fire truck chassis has
been worked out by the Peerless Mo-
tor Car company.
One of the first engines to be re-
built in this way went into service in
Cleveland recently at the Woodland
avenue and East Seventy-ninth street
station. Safety Director Benesch de-
clared after witnessing a demonstra-
ton of the machine that 1t was as
good as II ever had been as a pump
while the speed and rang of opera
ton made possible by the motor
chassis raised 1t to the class or the
most efficient modern gasoline motor
engines. 1t cost the city only half as
much as a new engine Of that type.
Fire chiefs everywhere are agreed
motor apparatus Is much superior to
horse drawn. Statistics show in fact
that whereas the horse drawn chemi-
cal wagon was not very efficient
piece Of apparatus, motor chemicals
because they reach the spot so much
quicker, have extinguished 80 per cent
Of the fires to which they have re-
sponded in the United States during
the past five years.
Practically every city Is now pre-
pairing to motorize it's equipment, as
fast as money can be secured for tho
purpose. In developing a line of fire
apparatus the Peerless company has
put much emphasis on motorizing
present horse drawn equipment so
that IT need not be strapped. and
much expense can be saved. while the
Are department is still brought fully
up-to-date. Hook and ladders and
water towers are motorized by means
OF a four-wheel tractor.

Newport Gets
The Polo Games

Newport probably will get the cham
pionship polo matches this year. The
Point Judith club has had the cham
pionships for several years. but one
thing or another has cropped up this
year which has made 1t question
whether that club will again receive
the premier event outside the interna-
tional matches.
II was said that the chief bone OF
contention was the appointing by the
Point Judith clue as polo manager OF
George Miller. an Englishman. to run
the tournaments during the year. This
was done without the sanction or con
sultation OF the association, 1t was said.

Roadsters For
Cigar Statesmen

The increasing adoption of utility
cars for the use of statesmen and
others who must cover large terri

Of Ave White roadsters by the firm

OF well known cigars and 1t Is the In
tention of the firm to have their sales
men cover their territories with these
roadsters.
An unsual feature of this purchase
is the fact that the company bought
cars of a highed grade and higher
price than are usually employed in
this line of work. having had a
grievous experience with their former
equipment Of low priced cars. Each

Miss Agnes. Berry. for three years a

company. was in New York during
the Fourteenth annual automobile
show. and, while there. visited the
Hudson motor car exhibit at the
Grand Central Palace and was ex-
tremely pleased with the streaml!ne

Because Of Miss Berry's interest in
the Hudson models displayed, she was
given an opportunity to ride in one of
the nan-six-farty- models, -aneE her
appreciation of the favor took the
form of a letter from which the fol-
lowing remarks are quoted:
I'm visiting the motor show this
afternoon, I was much interested In
the Hudson display. Ones eye is un-
consciously drawn to this car by its
graceful outline and. upon closer in
spection. Its beauty OF color. finish and
upholsterfng are revealed. Later, dur

easily operated self-starting system,
any woman should be able to drive
the car without fear"

MILK AND CREAM AWARDS
State Board of Health Calls At
tention to the Danger of
The So-called Mild
Diseases
Next meeting OF the Governor and
Council, q p. M Wednesday,, Dec.
80,


The Maine school report for the
Year ending July ], 1914, contains the
first official statement of the operation
of the new pension act passed In
1913. Commenting on this report, it
is found that for the year ending July
l, 1914, ISL pensions were held. Three
of the persons holding pensions died
during the year, leaving las as fol-
lows on July /.
Thirty of the pensioners retired
since the school year next preceding
Sept. l, 1918, and were therefore ac-
cording to the terms of the law en-
titled to receive full pensions on the
basis of their terms of service. TWEEN
ty-siX of these had served 35 years
or more and hence were awarded the
maximum pension of $3.50. Three had
served up to the 30-year limit and
received pensions of 5000 while one OF
the 25-year basis received a pension
of $3.50. 1t will be recalled that the
law makes provision for those who
had retired prior to the date of the
provisions of its enactment being
granted pensions on the basis of one
half that given to active service af-
ter its enactment. OF those pension
ers to whom the retro active feature
of the law applies, 55 received $125.
81 on 80 years of service received one
half the medium pension or 800.
while 20 on the 25-year basis received
one-half the medium amount or $1o.
Relative to the claim that the en-
actment of this pension law would
increase the efficiency of the public
schools, the report says:
Not only have teachers whose eff
ficiency has become impaired been re-
tired. but a burden of anxiety has been
lifted from the lives of great many
teachers who have hitherto been OPP
pressed by the knowledge that their
meagre wages were affording little or
no opportunity for saving against ap-
preaching age. The cost of this act
will be but a fraction of one per cent.
of the total expense for education ami
will yield advantages that will di-
rectly or indirectly reach every
school,"

Danger from SOL Called Mild Diseases

In the bulletin of the State Board of
Health of Maine which recently made
it's appearance, the. public Is warned
of the seriousness of some of the So
called mild diseases. The article reads
as follows:
1T is about time for some of our
local boards of health, our school au-
thorities, and the public in general
to awaken to the seriousness Of the
danger from some of our so-called
mild diseases. We are making good
progress in lowering the death rate
from tuberculosis, typhoid fever.
diphtheria and scarlet fever, but the
much needed work for the control of
measles and whooping cough Is badly
neglected. In two years, 1912 and 1913,
3S deaths were due to scarlet fever;
but scarlet fever as a cause of death
Is far outdone by whooping cough
with SO deaths charged against it. and
124 against measles. The 213 deaths,
which, in those two years were caused
by measles and whooping cough, is
greater than the number of deaths
from diphtheria, which was 1856.
Again, the 213 deaths from measles
and whooping cough lacks only six os
being equal to the combined deaths
from scarlet fever and diphtheria
And the deaths charged up against
these two mild" diseases is not the
whole story. Children who survive an
attack of measles or whooping cough
are very often left puny and with 4
lessened degree of immunity against
any other diseases, tuberculosis for in
stance.
IN view of this statement 1t is
time for parents, especially, to get
some correct ideas Of the danger to
their little ones from those two really
dangerous diseases. measles and
whooping cough, particularly to chill
dren during the first few years Of life,
and to throw away the old and very
