was taken in the news, because it
seemed to offer a possible solution Of the
problem of how to make a light piston
without having recourse to very thin

1T is well known fact in engineering
that however strong a material may be

it is difficult to so.
For instS..Se, cast iron is stronger
than aluminium, but if it he reduced so
that the piston is really light very con-

has to be taken to insure that Nd one
part is cut shade too fine.
'On the other hand with aluminium
quite a thick piston can be cast. which.
at the same time, is very: light. This
is roughly the attraction of aluminium,
and it does not apply to pistols only.
but to a number of other parts OF the
modern AUTOMOBILE.
Nevertheless, the work imposed upon

The Boy With a Patch.

The editor of Missouri weekly tells
of an incident which prompted him to
write touching bit of truth as fol-
lows:
"We met little fellow the other day
about eight years old who wanted to
sell us a magazine and as he turned
away we noticed a neat patch on his
clothes right where patches usually
are on boys clothes, and We called
him back and bought paper-be-
cause of the patch.
whenever we see a patch like that
we let our imagination go, and can
picture woman-a neat woman, with
rather tired but happy look, and she
is sitting by work table putting a
patch on her little boys pants. She
seems to take great pride in the work
round seam, she goes slower as if she
wished to prolong the excuse to handle
the garment. Then after biting off
the thread she holds them up at arms
length with look which only that
kind of woman ever has, and sigh
ing, lays them over chair at the foot
of the little bed, and bending over the
little sleeper she shakes her head and
says: DO you know you are lot of
trouble, you little scamp? God bless
my little boy--God bless him. If
there is any answer to prayers and
there surely is, God must bless the
little boy with the patch-and double
bless the little mother who put it on"

DIED-One beloved child, re.
ferred to in the vernacular as
Audit the Books. Was gently
laid to rest in Circuit Court
Chamber Wednesday, August II,
1915, at Charlottesville. 1t was
an illegitimate child, born of
fanaticism, spite and political
pertidy, and was about five years
of age. At that, il outlived it's
usefulness and purpose. From
it's beginning it was all fuss and
fury, but more than a year ago
lost it's voice, and went into a
rapid decline until, months be.
fore it died, it was speechless
and cold. 1t never had any real
body. All it ever possessed was
a bawling voice. When that
failed it died natural death. 1t
was a costly child, however, but
never did a particle of good. Its
birth and death cost the tax
payers of Pemiscot county more
than $1,000. When other war
rants could not be cared for, the
support of this child demanded
and received the ready cash.
That is where one big bunch of
the money went. This is what
the cradle song of the daddy of
this child cost the taxpayers of
this county. 1t is one sample of
his reform. But not tangible
reason was ever given for the
support of such child, nor why
the expenditure of such a
large sum of the peoples money
for such tanciful purpose. The
auditors said in their report that
their figures could not be verified
because the records were incOm.
plete, being missing and worm.
eaten. That was a fatal defect,
and more than likely accounts
for all the apparent shortage the
auditors found. No one ever be-
lieved that John Mcfarland or
Tom Patterson eyer stole a cent
from the county. Neither of
them ever showed guilt. Neither
lodged the issue, nor disposed of
a particle of their property,
There was never any evidence
against them but the wall of the
illegitimate child of another's
daddying. 1t would have been
worse than foolish to have spent
more of the peoples money try
ing to keep alive this perishing
creature of af1liction. Fact, at
it's birth, it should have been
taken out in a barn lot some dark
night and buried under a bank of
fertilizer.
But it is buried now-buried
face downward, so that the more
it scratches the nearer it goes to
it's home. The only mourner
who tarries over and remains
around, uttering now and then
weird cries, is its daddy, the
editor of the Argus.
