Along the
Automobile Row

The Mitchell Motor company OF Omaha
is keeping pace with their factory, de-
livering the new Mitchell models as fast
as the factory can ship them out. Three
shifts Of men are employed at Racine
keeping the schedule Of shipments sent
in by the dealers August 1 filled. The
new cars have made the same big hit in
Nebraska they did In New York. the
only difference being that our Nebraska
people are more modest in their tastes
than gay New York. and are ordering
the black wheels instead OF the bright
red. In New York City purchasers OF
the Sixteen Six Mitchell are demanding
red wheels Deliveries Of the new
Mitchells recently are to the following:

received on Friday last that several more
carloads OF Oldsmobiles had left the fac
tory with promises Of further shipments
to follow without delay. The factory has
advised the distributors for this section
that in order 20 accommodate them with
these extra cars. II has been necessary
for them to deprive some OF their other
branches. but approaching the Importance
of this section as n consumer OF automo-

Add Graphite to Oil
For Motor Cylinder

Buying a cheap grade OF oil because
Of the low price il not true economy,
but will eventually prove to be a very
expensive practice" asserts G. J. Cork
hill, manager OF the Nebraska Haynes
Auto sales company, distributor for the
Haynes Light SIX.
THE principal lubrlcating mediums
commonly used are fluid oil aud semi
fluid oils and greases derived from both
mineral and animal sources. Graphite.
one OF the most important lubricants
known, is q form OF crystalline carbon.
The mediums best adapted differ with
the nature OF the work the parts are TO
perform. An OIL that is suitable for one
portion of the automobile mechanism
may prove actually injurious to other
parts.
by adding about one teaspoonful Of
ground flake graphite to every gallon OF
cylinder oil, II Is possible 20 carry TO all
surfaces a material that Is finer than the
most minute pores OF the metal and
which will gradually cover the metal with
film which heat cannot easily destroy.
The benefits derived from the use of
graphite in oil are accumulative, for
with continued use all the bearings, oylin-
der walls and piston rinss are protected
by a lubricant which IInpregnates the
metal. All graphite Is not lubricating
graphite, however. nor Is all lubricating
graphite suitable for use IN cylinder oil.
Care must be exercised and only finely
ground flake graphite OF the best quail
ity should be used.
Cylinder oil should be derived from a
Crude petroleum base, because oils OF
this nature are Inorganic and are not liza
able to decompose by exposure to the air
or by heat as are the organic lubricants
derived from animal fats or vegetable
sources" fS

Time In Europe.

Despite the war, a conference is to
be held to attempt to standardize time
on the railways Of Europe Anyone
who has travelled even little on the
continent will know how bewilderingly
diverse are the railway times Of diff
ferent countries. Dutch and Spanish
railways keep time Of Greenwich, and
SO did those Of Belgium until the con
quest" when their timetables were
synchronized with the German. Our
three enemy countries, together with
Italy, Switzerland and Scandinavia,
keep railway time Just one hour ahead
of us. Bulgaria and Roumania are two
hours ahead, and Russia two hours
and one minute Other countries have
time standards OF their own. differing
by half-hours and half-minutes.-Lon

WOMEN AND TOBACCO
MANY SMOKERS AMONG FAIR SEX
A CENTURY AGO.
Mother of Thomas Carlyle Was an

Snuff Commonly Used by Pio-
neer Women.


"As a matter of fact, is the use OF
tobacco by women more common now
than II was century ago? The moth
er of Thomas Carlyle was an inveter-
ate smoker, and as her habit In that
regard is not spoken of as singular In
any way the inference is that smoking
among decent Scottish women OF the
peasant class was rather general"
says letter to the editor OF the B3s-
ton Herald. Whether they smoked
in church or not, who knows? Their
husbands did so. when they had

Rebuilding Bridges.

One OF the most gratifying results
Of the present war excitement in
treat Britain is the action OF the
house OF lords providing for gen.
eral strengthening of the bridges
,long the main roads OF MOTOR traffic.
These bridges were mostly under the
management of the big railroad com
1anies, and the heavy truck traffic
did not appeal to them enough to
cause them to expend either money
or labor In strengthening the bridges.
The heavy traffic in motor trucks for
the British war department has
brought the question Of strong bridges
vividly before the people. and strong
pressure is being brought by the
courts. officials of the government
and the press on the railroads. The
result is that bridges are rebuilt all
over the country.

John Molin, an Italian marble work
er who was employed by the Vermont
Marble company, threw himself in
front of q moving train at Center Rut-
land after midnight Wednesday night
and was ground to pieces. Molin had

he was going to take his life. Molin
was unmarried and so far as known he

shot herself with suicidal intent Wed
nesday with a 32-calibre revolver, the
bullet entering the side and piercing
the stomach lining. She was taken to
the BrightIooll hospital in st. Johns
bury, where DIR. J. NJ. Allen removed
the bullet. She has a fair chance of
recovery. The young woman came from
Lancaster, \. H., and it is thought that
dependency, due to separation from
her husband to whom she was married
but short time ago, caused her to try
to take her life.

The war has not only hit Canada in
taking eight per cent of its manhood
for military purposes, but a serious in
dustrial depression has set in through
out the provinces. A Hartford man
who is just back from q trip across
the northern route on his way home
from the fairs stopped at Winnipeg
and found that the city was in the
midst of business depression. Fifty
thousand of its 10000 people have
gone to the states. Houses which have
been tenantless for months, are being
sold under the hammer, to pay for tax
es. He found business was also dull
in Toronto, but that city is not nearly
as hard hit as Winnipeg.

that it did not conGne itself to the simple

secretary of the New York State Char
tiles Aid association, gave at Rochester
yesterday before the American Public
Health association; ''Printers' ink
should be entered in the pharmacopoeia
as an accredited remedy fer human
ills. Among other things, it prevents
tuberculosis and builds hospitals to cure
it; it saves the lives of children and
controls epidemics of smallpox. Thous-
ands of babies are today alive in New

of printers ink were administered to

Should Pay for Baggage.
(Randolph Herald and News.)

Why not make baggage pay its own
way on railroad trains instead of in
Guiding it in the passenger ticket?
This is the practice almost everywhere
in Europe. The passenger pays his
fare. If he has baggage checked he
pays extra for that. The result is a
lower passenger fare. 1t also equalizcs
service. Here, when passenger cai
ries no baggage, he helps pay for car
rying the baggage of someone else.
Some passengers pay for more than
they get and others for less; there i
no equality There are also a great

have tendency to keep fair visitors
in town during the evenings and no
doubt act as a stimulus to trade. Rut-
land S carnival has been developed into
one of the big features Of its fair
largely through the enthusiastic efforts
of the business men of that city. and it
is doubtful whether they would con
tinue to boost the enterprise unless
they felt that it was a good invest
ment, Anything that the local trades
people can do to get fair visitors out
of the habit of hustling from the sta
ton to the grounds and back without
taking even look at the town s places
of business ought to be worth while
Brattleboro people as well as resi-
dents of Putney will have more than
passing interest in the developments
that follow the sale of the plant of
the defunct StowelI Manufacturing
Co, in the latter town. Although tho
firm that have bought the buildings are
in the wrecking business there is good
reason for believing that they DO not
intend to demolish the structures. but
| expect instead to dispose of them fer
manufacturing purposes. Putney would
certainly feel as if it has taken on a
new lease of life If the Stowen plant
were reopened with anything like the
force which used to be employed there.
And as The Meddler has said on SO
many previous occasions, the benefits
aecruing to Putney would be shared in
large measure by Brattleboro.
If President Blakely of the Below
Falls association really wishes to bring
about an impartial enforcement of see
ton 1886 of the Vermont statutes he
should not stop with a request to the
governor to get after players of base
ball and golf. The law does not single
