RESEARCH CENTER IS
URGED FOR ENGINEERS
Would Have Laboratories Like
Those Of Germany.

New York.-Research laboratories the
equal of those of Germany are under
consideration by Columbia university,
according to the report of Dean Freder-
lex A. Goethe of the Graduate Engi-
neering school.
After outlining the successful re-
search work accomplished by DR.. Wal
ter Rittman and Professors Armstrong
and Pupin In the field of wireless te-
lephony and telegraphy Dean Goetze's
report says:
There is no doubt that much could
and should be done to extend our engi-
neering research and to make it of
even greater value to the university
and to the Industries of our country.
MANY Of us are firmly convinced
that this can best be accomplished by
easily accessible to the university, but
among neighbors who will not be too
particular as to the smells and noises
which we will create, laboratories ade
quately equipped for all branches of
Industrial engineering research and adj
ministered by the heads of our engi
neering departments, to which manu-
facturers and practicing engineers
could turn for the solution of problems
which are beyond the scope of their
equipment or the capabilities Of their
force.
"In my mind these laboratories
should be patterned after those of the
German Reichsanstalt, connected with
the Technische Hochschule at Chariot
tenburg, and located in the outskirts
of Berlin.
"If Columbia We're to establish lab
oratories Of this kind, equipped with
every facility for experimentation and
research, with the staff of our techni-
cal schools available for consultation
and advice, manufacturers and indi
vidual experts would be glad to avail
themselves of these facilities and to
establish research fellowships for solv-
ing their Industrial and engineering
problems.
1.-THE cost will depend largely upon
the site, which should be close to tide
water and railroad facilities. We would
need at least 100000 for a start and
for extension and endowment later on
from 100000 to $5,OO0000 will be
needed"

"But perhaps the most interesting
part of our day was the distribution
Of prizes to the winners in the various
contests. In order to afford a study In
Eskimo psychology there was In each
case a choice between prizes. Tookoo-

women's race, had a choice between
three prizes-a box of three cakes of

thimbles and several spools of differ

man did not hesitate. She had one

what 1t was meant for. The meaning
of cleanliness had dawned upon her
a sudden ambition to be attractive."-

FIELD MARSHAL PUTNIK.

against the Bulgars. In 1912 he was
fighting the Turks with the Bulgars as
allies in the first Balkan war, and at
Kumanovo his gallant Serb army as
tonished western Europe, unacquaint-
ed with its ancient history or its mod
ern prowess. The Turks were COM
pletely routed at Kumanovo, the Serbs,
under their Crown Prince Alexander
and General BOZovitch, capturing near
ly 200 guns of different kinds.
In 1918 Putnik directed the Servian
army which fought with the Greeks as
allies against the Bulgars in the second
Balkan war, and 1915 finds him strug-
Cling without hope Of success for the
existence of his nation against the Bull
gars, aided by the soldiers Of the two
great Teutonic empires.
During the reign at Belgrade of King
Milan, who was favorable to Austrian
influence In Servia, General Putnik
was deprived Of his military command
because he was too friendly to the
Russians. When King Peter succeeded
to the throne after the assassination of
Milan's son, Alexander, and his con-
sort, Queen Draga, Putnik was rein
stated. During the interval he devoted
himself to military studies and to the
preparation of the war against Turkey
which he clearly saw In Servia's ambi-
ton to extend her territory over what
was in the brave days of old the Ser
Wan empire and which the sultan pos
sessed.
He was often present at the military
maneuvers In Russia, France and Ger
many, and from each of these armies
he adopted reforms for his own. The
French methods In artillery practice
were introduced in Servia as well as
the Schneider Canet guns, while his in
fantry was armed with Mauser rifles.
Speaking and reading five languages,
the military history of the world was
open to him, and his soldiers were
drilled I'm tactics as good almost as the
Germans.

Rheumatism is disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms are
Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheu-
matte Headaches. Sciatic Rheumatism
and Lumbago. All of these types can
be helped absolutely by applying some
good liniment that penetrates. An ap-
plication of Sloan's liniment two or
three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's lini-
ment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrates

DECATUR (CA,) WOMAN
GOOD POSTMISTRESS
Succeeded Her Husband In
CIGVeIand'S Days.

Savannah, Ga.-By efficiency which
neither Republican nor Democratic al
ministrations can doubt, Mrs. Kate w.
Kirkpatrick postmistress at Decatur
has held office longer than any other
postoffice head in the country. Wheh
she was recently reappointed on Con-
gresham William Schley Howards
recommendation she had held office for
twenty-one years.
Through all that time she has seen
that Decatur and all the country round
about get its daily mail without trou-
BILE or delay and has kept the needs OF
her community so persistently before
the postoffice department that Decatur
never fails to get its share of new car
riers and equipment, although, OF
course, 1t needs any number of things
as all postoffices do.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's husband was ap-
pointed postmaster at Decatur by Gro
yer Cleveland, but he died soon after
taking office Mrs. Kirkpatrick was
then commissioned to succeed him,
since which time she has continued to
do the work he was forced to lay down.
In a way it has been work of love-a
work that her husband began and she
is completing. But at all times 1t has
been an ambitious effort to make the
Decatur postoffice second to none In
efficiency.

Against Turks and In All Balkan
Wars-Going Through His Sixth
Campaign at Sixty eight.
Paris.-Field Marshal Putnik, chief
of the general staff of the little Ser
Wan army, is writing a memorable
page of history with hiss troops, out
numbered more than two to one.
Putnik is going through his sixth
campaign at sixty-eight years. A semi
invalid from asthma, he is compelled
to spend the greater part of the day In
an overheated room and never in the
midst of his troops. He Is the son Of
schoolmaster who left the Banat of
Hungary and the Servians there and
emigrated to Belgrade. The son, the
field marshal, has been soldier all his
life. His ability was early recognized
by the Russian agents at Belgrade, and
they arranged for his education at the
military academy at Petrograd, where
Grand Duke Nicholas obtained his
training. From the Russian capital
Putnik went to France to study at the
Polytechnic and st. Cyr, this last full
of memories Of the great Napoleon.
AS soon as his education was COM
pleted and he returned to his native
land he was intrusted with the reor-
ganization Of the Servian army. 1t is
the product Of his labors He got his
baptism Of fire in 1875 in fighting
against the Turks. In 1877 again he
was campaigning against the sultan's

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 7, 1915.

The calling of a conference of repre- sentatives of the South American states to assist Secretary Lansing in the solution of the Mexican problem seems to indicate that the administra- ton Is about to substitute active measures for the so called policy of "watchful waiting" with a view tol bringing the long existing reign of that such action Is eminently desira- ble. both from the standpoint of hu- manity and the benefit of the Mexican people. II is difficult to conceive just why the government has decided to take active measures just at time when the matter seems about to resolve Itself. It would seem that having tried the policy of watchful waiting for such an extended period, the administration might allow matters to continue as they are for a short time longer, espec- tally as there are no more Americans or other foreigners left in Mexico to be killed off during the interval. in view of the fact that the present outlook seems to point plainly to an early end ing of the disturbances through the elimination of Villa as an active factor in perpetuating the turmoil
 If We may place credence in the re- ports. the situation seems about to ad- just itself in an entirely logical way through the defeat of the Villa army by the all conquoring forces of Car ranZa. Villa has of late been forced to fall steadily back on his last remain ing stronghold in central Mexico. his armies everywhere defeated and brok- en and with every indication pointing 10 their ultimate disintergation. It is also reported that the following of the ex-bandt has fallen away to about one-fourth of what it was when, as the leader of a constantly victorious army, he extended his sway over the greater part of the Mexican territory Villa is apparently on his last legs and it is in- dieated that the next clash between his decimated army and the oyerwhelm- | ing forces of the Constitutionalist lead CT will send him reeling back into the oblivion from whence he came On the contrary. the strength of Carranza has and his well equipped armies have been'

so consistently victorious that the complete downfall of Villa at the next meeting seems inevitable unless by some prodigy of valor he can snatch a victory from what seems certain and hopeless defeat In view of these con- ditions 1t would seem to be good policy for the government to allow things to take their natural course. This would probably be more satisfactory in every way to the Mexicans themselves than would the intervention of the United States or any other power and would also be equally agreeable to the people of America who. have little desire to see their troops slaughtered in a cause from which they can expect no profit whatever.

Returning travellers record the ap- pearance of women in great numbers in new lines of industry for them in the British Isles. Tn Edinburgh and Glasgow, for example, women are now found running elevators. driving wa gons, operating street cars and clean ing the streets as efficiently as the men employees whose places they have taken.
 More significant than this. however. is the recent announcement of the British ministry that from this time forward all departments of the public service will be open to women. This. however, is not a concession to the feminist movement. It is one of the war emergency steps. Lord Kitchnef recently appealed to the government to release all of its able bodied civil em- ployees for trench duty. It was in re- sponse to this demand from the war
 minister that the civil service was opened to women.
 It is a fact, often overlooked. that our own civil war resulted in the ap- pearance of women in various oecupa- tons in which they had never before
 been seen. It was the civil war which opened the federal public service to women, for one example. Saleswomen in stores were rarely seen at any time previous to the civil war. although they are in the large majority now There have been hosts of occupa- tions opened to women in England dur ing the present generation from which they were excluded in past generations but outside of the postal department. which includes in England the opera : tion of the telegraph and telephone lines, it does not appear that civil ser- vice positions have been opened to them before this time
 Women are in the ma joritv in the population of England. They were so before the war. and the war has nat mally increased their relative prepon- derance in numbers. The new status of women as the result of the war is one of the legacies which will be left when peace Is finally declared-Ex
