LOCAL AUTO MANAGER
EXPLAINS HORSEPOWER
Average Dobin Has Ability to Lift
Four or Five Times the Techni-
cal Strength Described. d..

What is horsepower? This question,
while we'll understood by engineers In
general. is a hard problem for the auto
owner to grasp said the general man.
ager Of a well-known automobile factory.
Horsepower provides a never-failing
source of discussion for him. No other
term in his vocabulary is so misunder-
and at the same time it is a subject of
vital Importance to him. for the reason
that il affects his comfort. his pride and
his bank account.
There are many laymen who think that
by horsepower is meant the average load
which horse can pull in continued serv-
ice. This is not true. however, as the
pulling power of horses varies and no
definite point could be reached in this
way. II is evident that a large horse Is
capable of pulling a greater load in con-
tinued service than smaller animal
THE term was first used by James
Watt, after numerous tests of the load
which the average horse could pull in
continued service. AS the word is used
today, it is simply technical term of
power measurement, and in no way re-
lated to old Dobin.
Horsepower as a technical term ex-
presses the number of pounds lifted one
foot in one minute. One horsepower
equals the lifting of $500 pounds one
foot in one minute. or 1000 pounds thirty
three feet In one minute, or one pound
100 feet in one minute.
Generally speaking, a horsepower in
motors as compared with the horsepower
of the animal would mean that the live
horse has about four or five horsepower
Of the technical kind. OF course this Is
the maximum power Of a horse when he
is straining every muscle. and could not
be continued for any great length of
time. Furthermore. an animal horse
could not develop this horsepower from
q standing point

AN ANTI BILL BOARD
CRUSADE

There is movement just now IN
the state Of knode Island against
roadside billbcards and the subject
is getting good deal of attention
al over the country. Quite a num-
Der OF states now have protection
against bill boards within the high
way limits, but II has proved next
to impossible to stop the erection Of
defaclng s4gns on private property.
The practise among retail mer-
chants OF using these signs along
highways seems to be decreasing.
They appear to realize that there is
a lot of e.ings against this sort OF
advertising and that a merchant
makes himself unpopular in this way.
The worst offenders are national
advertisers who string along promi-
nent motor roads and railroad lines
a row of these ugly signs which trans
form pretty country scenery into a
sordid suggestion of commercialism.
In former days you could plant
circus posters all over farmers
barn by giving him tickets to the
performance for his family. But
today the enterprising farmer realiz
es that the appearance which his
property gives to the passerby is the
best way to advertise his business.
When building is covered with pat
ent medicine, circus, or other adver-
Using, 1t looks as If the owner had
no public spirit, as If he was hard
pressed for money. The place is
made unattractive to all who may
visit 1t in search of farm products.
The same is doubly true of resi-
dence districts. You could lower
real estate values 25 per cent in any
locality merely by erecting few ug-
ly bill boards. Similarly the remov-
al of bill boards will turn an unpleas-
ant neighborhood into a homelike resi-.
dence section.
The countryside along railway
line is defaced by these signs. The
traveller looks at 1t as an uninterest-
ing region without local pride or APP
probation of its own advantages. 1t
would seem as If oranges, boards of
trade, business mems associations,
and the like should try to start
national movement to get rid of de-
facing bill boards.

THE LOT OF THE
UMPIRE

Editorials are noted in several eX-
changes protesting against the char
acteristic habit of batting the base
ball umpire. A heavy dose of con-
tumely and active insult usually goes
with the modest sum of money given
for this service. Also there are even
times when he needs very consider
able knowledge of the manly art OF
self defense.
Good umpiring calls for a quick
wit, ability to concentrate the mind'
a faculty for accurate observation, q
judicial spirit, a cool temper, and
familiarity with baseball rules. A
great many men are umpiring very
considerable games who are lacking
in n number OF these qualities, some
times about all Of them.
Yet cases where the umpire Is de'
liberately unfair are not common
What happens is that from failure
of eyesight or proper attention, OF
ten from judging play from too
great a distance, decision Is made
that is clearly wrong. 1t is a very
difficult thing not to make at least
one such bad decision in game
The fair minded umpire usually tries
to square it up by giving the next
close decision to the side that lost
the first. This may not be strictly
rulable, but 1t works out a rough
sort of justice.
The trouble with the crowd is that
1t begins to below the moment one
poor decision Is made. Players and
spectators become wild with rage.
This rifles the umpire's dander. To
show that he is not moved by the
taunts and threats hurled at him
may continue to favor the side that
lost the first decision. The game
will thus likely break up in a row.
1t is very poor policy for special
ors or players TO try TO bluff an UNI
pire. 1t merely invites further trou,
BILE and puts a man in a state OF
mind where he can't see things
straight If he tries. The time to pro-
test is after the game Is over and
the proper persons to protest to are
the men that have in charge the hir.
ing Of the umpire.

GYPSY STORY
ON PARAMOUNT
PROGRAMME

An obstacle to most, an opportun-
ity to a few, the title role in Kill
meny, the new production of the Oil
Yer Morosco Photoplay Company,
taxes practically every resource in
the equipment of the actress. This
striking story of present day gypsies
is the attraction on the Paramount
Program week after next.
In one part Kilmeny is laughing,
ingenious child of the woods, tender
hearted and loving and fearlessly de-
Tending bird and rabbit and wood
chuck against the hunters rife. In
the next she has to flash into the
full caliber of suffering womanhood;
has to denote with all the power at
her command that gripping scene In
the tents Of the gypsies where she
breaks down under the pressure Of
their iron wills and at last resigns
herself to Barouche.
So powerfully is one swept along
by Lenore Zurich, the nineteen year
old girl who was the sensation Of
The Bird of Paradise, and who plays
Kilmeny, that when the story ends
with the heroine's unexpected tri-
umph over the baleful gypsy the au-
dience evinces sheer relief as tho
the tension of her previous hold upon
them had positively hurt.

MAKING MILITIA SERVICE
ATTRACTIVE

II is generally admitted that mi
Iitia organizations of the several
states as a whole are not efficiently
developed, and would be a weak re-
source in case of war. Some states
have very good militia forces, but in
the country as a whole this is not
the case.
In many localities the National
Guard is not popular organization.
his may be partly because these for
ces are sometimes used to put down
strikes. If state officials resolutely
prevent the soldiery from favoring
either side in such quarrels, and
merely protect life and property this
element of unpopularity would large
ly disappear.
Some Of the states build handsome
armories with pool tables, bowling al
leys, dance floors. They turn the
boys loose in this pleasant club life
WITHOUT eApeuse'
Yet there is in many localities
tendency to slur the militia forces.
Many humorists always refer to them
as tin soldiers. Considering how
these tin soldiers responded in the
Spanish war, these humorists prob
ably never offered themselves for
any purpose of national defense.
Militia regiments have sometimes
discredited themselves by too much
high links at their encampments'
With lot of young fellows loose by
themselves, red blood boils over.
These sporty encampments have not
been nearly so much of factor IN
recent years, since efforts have been
made to improve these organizations.
There is lot of warm patriotism
in the average young American.
This feeling is very much OF q mo-
tive in seeking enlistment. A well
conducted militia develops manliness
and physical self command, and Is
entitled to support from all good
citizens. =! AZ /
