FLYWHEELS IN WARFARE.
As Proiectilos They Would MOw Down
 Everything In Their Way.

Az proisctiIes They Would Mow Down
 Everything In Their Way
 A big nywheeI spinning rapidly in wolves 9 much greater danger than that of merely exploding. The explosion of a fvwnecI is due 10 centrifugal force and causes pieces of tue wheel to fly off at a tangent in the plane of the wheel. but in practically every urec- ton in this plane. But consider for moment what would happen if a fly wheel were to become loose from It's bearings and stay whole.
 The great velocity of rotation would be changed to velocity of translation and the wheel would travel with light nfug swifmcss along the floor in the direction of rotation. It would act like a locomotive wheel going at tremen- 1pus speed. Of course. if it were to drop in a puddle of oil it would not go rar but simply slip like an engine wheel un an oiled track. But with no oil to check it's course the results would | be awful to contemplate.
 Suppose that the wheel was forty feet in circumference and was rotating
 at 500 revolutions d minute. A point nn thc wheel would then be travelling l 7auu0 feet a minute or about 500 miles am hour. This is as fast as a cannon baII and. of course, the wheel would 1 arf in a similar manner tO a cannon baII-it would be a mighty projectilc 1 that would go through almost any thmg. It is this danger which keeps l the size and speed of dywhecIs down ] in practice, especially aboard ship.
 It is possible that projectilcs will yet
 be made on tMs principle for certain purposes. Think what am army could
 do at short range if it was equipped ] with hundreds of big dywhccIs thai 1 could Da released. They would travel along the ground at great speed and
 would simply mow down everything in ] fbpfr way. The only drawback to tho ! use of fywhceIs iu this way is the re- ! sfstaure of fbe ground, and that would
 not hold for a dlstaRce as short as half l a mile.
 While am ordinary projectile hits in
 one spot only, the nywheel would cover an area as wide as the wheel and as ! long as the path over which it travelled | Therefore it is hardly possible that any wheel would become spent without do ing great damage It could be pretty | accurately aimed and, on account of its ] gyrUscUpic effect, would travel in prac l ticaUy straight line. Its gyr0scopic
 effect would not. however, ke6p it from
 going mp or down a bill, but would pre-
 vent it from deviatiug from it's path ! otherwise
 Defense against such a projectilc
 would be hard to get.-New York Amer l iCan.

MANUAL TRAINING
STUDENTS WILL Do
PRACTICAL. WORK
STUDENTS WILL ALSO CLEAN UP
ATHLETIC FIELD-LIST OF
NONRESIDENT SCHOLARS

The manual training classes at the
public schools will be given practical
work to do at the school building.
The first exercise in this direction
will be TO remove scratches and other
distiguring marks from the fixtures in
the school toilet rooms and also to
replace boards too badly disfigured to
be allowed To remain. In this con-
nection il might be mentioned vigo-
rous war has been started against the
Disagreement Of school property.
After the repairs have been made in
the toilet rooms the tops of disfigured
desks will be smoothed and polished
and then some very much needed cup
boards will be built.
All this work will not only be good
dren but will save money for the city.
Another bit Of practical work which
will be INDUCED i'm by the students will
be the cleaning Of the Athletic field
in the rear of the Central building so
as to put il i'm condition for playing
football'and other games. At present
the field has a splendid crop of sand
burrs and rag weed.
Superintendent Osborne has ar
ranged To have a good share Of the
office work attended to by second year
commercial students. This will give
the students practical experience.

new CITY PARK is
ALMOST COMPLETE

The new park at the corner of Con-
gress and Pleasant streets is almost
completed. The drinking fountain is
in operation on the corner and the
large basin which has been built under
the trees adjacent TO the drinking
fountain is filled with water. A
center piece will be added to the ba-
sin later and possibly some fish will
be placed in il.
The ground has all been thoroughly
worked, the stones removed and the
whole plot graded. The seed bed for
seeding is as well prepared as any
garden could be. Along the outer
margin of the park the curb has been
made and the ground graded to it,
The new park wiz be a beauty spot
in the city. 1t comes as a natural
adjunct To the new city hall of which
all Belding citizens are proud. 1t will
be a convenient place for tired shop
pers to rest and lhnch, a quiet corner
to which a mother may bring her
for the afternoon while she
is shopping or To meet friends. Beld-
ing will be proud Of the new park.

WAR WILL GIVE
SILK INDUSTRY
A NEW IMPETUS
j.. w. HOWARD GIVES TO THE
BANNER ARTICLE DEALING
WITH SILK AND THE WAR

+. w. Howard has given to the Ban
ner an article from The Textile Ameri-
can dealing with the silk industry and
its relation TO the war Mr.. Howard
states that the article exactly re-
presents his views in the matter.
The article which is very optimistic
in tone is given below:
The War and the Silk Industry
The commercial beans have been
spilled in Europe and the various in
dustries in this country are being
vigorously whipped into line to meet
the new set Of conditions. The silk
industry at large and one of the
countries most important business
units is no exception TO this general
rule. There is heavy work to be done
therein, but there is no gainsaying the
fact that within the next short half
year the silk industry will be given
new and forceful impetus by the de-
mands made upon it from sources that
have hitherto formed no part OF our
commercial structure.
In the first place there seems to be
no good reason why the domestic con-
sumption will not at least remain near
the normal point. The Canadas must
be supplied with silk goods from this
market because Of the stoppage of
French, Swiss and German looms. The
Latin Republics TO the south of us.
provided they are approached in the
right way and with an intelligence
brought about by a careful study by
the way in which these people handle
their imports Of silk merchandise, will
surely prove to be rare outlet for
our surplus stocks.
The only stumbling block that
seems To be the path Of this fruit
ful program is enough dyestuffs to
color the production. Careful in
quiries into this matter bring out the
facts that there are enough
dyestuffs and chemicals within our
TO supply the demands of the
industry for the next three months;
that unquestionably Germany will
make vigorous attempt TO get her
stock of dyestuffs into this country,
by way of Rotterdam, which
is an open port; then again this prob
lem can be solved by a concerted eff
fort on the part OF our dyestuff and
chemical people to fall to and manu-
facture these important commodities
or substitutes which will take the
place of them in dyeing operations
The outlook is certainly more rosy
than some Of our pessimists would
have it, and while ii may be some little
lime before matters are working
in both the productive and
fields, there is every rea-
son to believe that the silk industry
n all its ramfying branches will drive
forward and reach a mark which has
never been attainable because of the
sharp competition of the old World

WOULD TAKE HITCHlNG
RAILS FROM MAIN ST.

Considerable comment has reached
us favorable to a removal of the hitch
ing rails from the main street.
one of the principal reasons given
for the removal of the rails from the
city's street is that the rails are often
jammed up full of young men and
sometimes older ones who are not
overly busy at times. In their leisure
moments the occupants of the rails
are said to make comments which
many women fel to be uncomfortable.
Several ladies have expressed them
selves as hating to pass by this leisu-
rely jury.
Another reason given for desiring
the removal Of the rails is that it
might be better To provide a place es-
pecially devoted To the hitching of
horses with perhaps a man in charge
to afford farmers who come here to
trade every possible courtesy and con-
venience.

WHEEL TAX IN CITY
FOR ROAD BUILDING

Considerable comment is heard
favoring a wheel tax to be laid by the
city on all vehicles owned in Belding.
The purpose of the tax would be to
provide funds for the building of
drives in and around the city or the
Improvement of present drives.
Such tax if ii were levied would
bring in from $400 to $500 if autos
paid $1.00 To $3.50 each and carriages
IS cents or 81. Four hundred dol
lars would help considerably toward
the building of drives such as Belding
should have and the amount to be
collected from any individual would
be very small.
1t is suggested that the Park Board
should have control OF the fund and
use the money at its discretion.
one of the road improvements sug-
gested is an auto drive around the city
utilizing. for the most part present
roads as a basis.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
HAD REGULAR MEETING

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Board OF Education was held at the
city Hall last Wednesday night.
E. b. Lapham's bid OF one hundred
dollars for the old building was the
only one received and was rejected.
Lucille Bricker was elected as assist
ant teacher in the kindergarten de-
partment at twenty dollars per month.
An additional supply OF tools will be
purchased for the manual training de-
partment. The maximum amount
voted for the purpose was fifty doll
lars. Lumber will be purchased for
making cupboard in which TO keep
the tools, for the storing Of books,
papers, ETC., and also enough to build
a locker in the office of the superin-
tendent.
Zeth w Gooding was hired as
Truant officer for the coming year.
The contract for the installing Of
the fan ventilating system in the Cen
tral school building was awarded to
the T. Frank Ireland Company, on a
bid Of twelve hundred dollars.
