ARMORED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found 1t of
the Greatest Value In Their
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare,
the armored motor car has proved ex-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and
mobile, it covers a vast amount OF
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field Of war in western
Europe. Most Of the cars are incased
in a light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
sixteenths Of an inch to a quarter of
an inch, and that is impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire. All the vulner-
able parts Of the motor, such as the
radiator and steering gear, and IN
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to withstand the toughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than anyone would
expect. The cars carry light arma-
ment-one or two machine guns so
mounted that they can be swung
through a complete circle-and a
large supply Of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel superstructure that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that Is capped with domed roof,
from which bullets and shrapnel usu-
ally fly off at sharp angle without
even denting the steel.-Youth's Com
panion.

point of debate in bond elections. 1t
Is argued that because large part Of
the county wealth is within the cor
porate limit of such cities and towns
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets. 1t is
even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city linn
Its. If the proceeds of highway bond
Issues were distributed in this way,
their purpose in many cases would
be defeated. The primary object of
the county highway bond issue is to
build county market roads and not
to improve city streets, although
high percentage Of the assessed valu-
alton may be city property. 1t is now
known that the expenditure of city
taxes on county roads is a sound prin-
ciple and that it is one of the best
features of state aid for highways.
In Massachusetts the city of Boston
pays possibly 40 per cent of the to-
tai state highway fund, but not a
mile of state-aid highway has been
built within its limits. New York city
also pays about 60 per cent of the
cost of the state highway bonds. Some
state laws prohibit the expenditure of
proceeds Of state highway bonds with
in corporate limits Of cities or towns.
The improvement of market roads
results in improved marketing condi-
tions, which benefit the city. Most
cities are essentially dependent upon
the surrounding country for their pros
perity and development. The devel'
opment Of suburban property for res
ldence purposes is also dependent
upon highway conditions, and it is
becoming evident yearly that what
ever makes for an increase in rural
population must be encouraged. Since
the introduction of motor traffic coun.
try highways are used to an increas-
ing extent by city residents. In fact,
the cost of maintaining many country
highways has been greatly increased
by the presence Of city-owned motor
vehicles. The general advance in ia
cilities for doing country business
from town headquarters when roads
are improved is no inconsiderable fac
tor in the commercial life of the com
munity.

ALI There Was for Him.

A poor shoemaker's apprentice was
sent to his masters home with some
work. 1t was early in December, and
when the lad arrived at the house he
found the good wife engaged baking
the spiced bread ready for Christmas.
The smell was delicious, and, shifting
strongly, the apprentice exclaimed
heartily:
"Eh, missus, but your spice loaf
smells grand"
"Ah, well, lad, thee nun TAX some
good smells, for it will be all thou will
get."-London Tit-Bits.

'they want to teach boys how to operate
machines, they should set apart an in
structor who could devote his time to
that purpose"
He said that Zion City was not built
up by Marshall Field & Co. and it's
agents, and Zion City owes them no
thing, for if the company were not max
ing money out of the people here, they
would be like the Arab, they would fold

wanted was the golden rule. That it is

DECISION AGAINST EASTMAN
KODAK COMPANY

On August Oath, decision was handed
down by Judge John R. Hazel, of the
United States District Court, to the effect
that the Eastman Kodak Company. of
Rochester, New York, is monopoly re-
straining trade in violation of the Sher-
man Antitrust Law
Opportunity is given the company to
present on the first day of November
plan "for the abrogation of the illegal
monopoly" The government in it's suit
leged t h a the company w s
monopolizing u per cent of the trade in
Photographic supplies, and that by pro-
hibiting Eastman dealers from selling the
goods of any other manufacturer and fix
ing the retail prices, restraints had been
imposed on the business of competing
firms. The government asked for a dis
solution of the company by receivership,
if necessary The company, in it's reply,
stated that dissolution was impossible, and
would work great harm.
Litigation against the Eastman people
has been in progress since June 9, 1913.

THE NEW BOOKS
The Human Side of Plants.

How many people know that vari-
GUS plants appear to do many things
that human beings do? Royal Dixon,
a naturalist, tells us about plants
that go to sleep, plants that walk,
others that swim, defend themselves,
rob, fish, eat insects, foretell the
weather dance, keep servants,
change color, blossom underground,
build airships or even kidnap. He also
tells of plants that are so near to be-
ing animals that it is hard to tell in
which kingdom they belong. And it
is all scientifically accurate.
Plants which fish, for instance,
spread a net around themselves, and
place lures at the corners Of the net.
When minnows get caught they are
deyoured by the plant little by little.
Other plants shape their leaves un-
der water to initiate the month OF
the mother fish, into which the baby
fish run for protection; the leaves
then, with a rough. spiky inside, close
up in such a manner that the min
nows cannot escape Plants which de-
fend themselves sometimes use dag
gers (the cacti), others rattle their
seeds and make cattle think they are
rattlesnakes, others escape being eat
en- by covering themselves with f.
brous growth which causes indiges-
ton, or by covering themselves with
oil or poisonous substances, or by
hiding under water.

A NEW LIBRARY! YES.

Columbia is famed for its educa-
tional advantages. Yet many of its
citizens are failing to reap any bene-
fit from the state institution within
its confines. One of the beneficial
features at the disposal of every citi-
zen is the use of the University libra
ry. But few avail themselves Of this
privilege.
Since the library is located at one
side of the town and in a group of
University buildings, citizens seem
TO feel lack of freedom IN calling
there for books This our-of-place
feeling is increased by the constant
crowd of students encountered. There
is no good reason for this attitude,
but that it exists few viii deny.
Some good women are pushing a
movement to establish a Carnegie Ii
brary. The plan is to make the build
ing one of a group forming civic
center, preferably using the court
house as the nucleus.
The central location of the library
will make it easily accessible to ev-
eryone. Since the library is a city
institution, each citizen should feel
that he has a personal interest in it.
In South Dakota city this summer
it was noticed that a large per cent of
library visitors were of the working
class. Some went to read the daily
papers and magazines, others to
spend an hour or two with a book and
still others to select books FOR home
reading.
The civic center idea deserves con-
sideration. Adequate grounds for the
library, the courthouse and the city
hall could be made beauty spot that
would be a source of general salts
faction. The city already having a
courthouse, an adjacent library site
ought to be secured

TRAMPS, THEN NO TRAMPS.

Agitators of the Federal trespass
law believe it will effect an immedi-
ate solution of the hobo problem.
Citing England and Germany as
countries where tramps are never
seen on the railway right-of-way, they
say that the same thing will be seen
here six months after the law would
take effect Without means TO travel,
the bo will be forced to go to work
and crime will be decreased 60 per
cent, they say.
But will such a law accomplish
this? The tramp, the real bo, is not
a person who loves work. To en-
force such law rigidly would neces-
state vigilant work on the part of
many detectives in addition to the
train crews. Then when he is forced
he will in all probability resort to
more crime rather than go to work.
And unless cities change their poll
cies of arresting him one morning and
kicking him out the back door of the
jail the next morning to avoid feeding
him, he will have no more fear of. the
law than now.
A Federal trespass law might be a
good thing. 1t no doubt would be
effective in cutting down the number
of temporary tramps, in keeping men
out of work from going about in
search of work, but it would not at
one sweep clean up the situation for
ever. Reforms don't work that way.
