HUGE DIVIDEND BY FORD
COMPANY DELAYED
MUST WAIT TWO YEARS UNTIL
LEGISLATURE coNVENES TO
REoRGANlZE

Detroit, July 15.-The stock divid-
end of $4S,000,OOO which the Ford
Motor Company voted it would de-
clare at its annual meeting will be
delayed at least two years. This is
due to the fact that the state law
will not permit corpdation to be
capitalized at more than $25, 200, 900.
1t is likely that at the next ses-
sion Of the Michigan legislature,
which convenes two years hence, a
law will be passed which will permit
the Ford company to incorporate for
s1OO,OOO,OOO.
"We do not care to incorporate out
side of Michigan" said James Cou-
'zens, vice president Of the company,
"and as the present law will not let
us go ahead and incorporate for 500,
100000. the matter will be temporar-
lily put over until the law is changed.
which we hope will be at the next
legislative session"

BOLD ROBBERS TAKE
COIN FROM GAMBLERS
USED PROPRIETOR OF GAMBLING
HOUSE AS A SHIELD FROM
BULLETS

Hold-up men entered the gambl-
ing place known as the fortified
place" at Oilton and grabbing the
proprietor, held him as shield in
front while they emptied the drawers
and robbed the gamblers. The total
amount taken by the robbers will
never be known, but it is said to
have exceeded $4,000
The fortified place is said to be
one of the most elaborate gambling
places in the county. To protect the
place from just this kind of an oc-
currance the proprietors had an iron
cage with port holes erected at one
end of the long room, In this cage
were two men with guns who kept
constant watch, When the robbers
grabbed the "boss" the watchmen in
the cage were nonplussed, fearing to
fire on account Of the danger of hit
ting the wrong man. The men es-
capped with the swag.

.HERTzIAN WAVES
PR0PELL|NG FORCE
NEW WEAPON ONE OF THE
MOST FORMIDABLE SINCE
BEGINNING OF THE WAR

LonGon, July 15.-The German mill
tary authorities have succeeded in de
veloping an aerial torpedo which can
be directed by Hertzian waves from
the navigation platform OF distant
Zeppelin. The new weapon possesses
all the destructive properties of the
undersea torpedo and in general ap-
| pearance resembles the weapon which
is fired from submarines.
Until now the Zeppelins have had
no other means of discharging bombs
other than to drop them from high in
the air over the object which has been
sought to destroy. The result has
been that many bombs have gone wide
of their mark, DETECTED during the fall
by currents of air or miscalculation.
Now comes the startling information
that the experimental stations of the
Germans have demonstrated the abb
solute success of guiding torpedoes
through the air by Hertzlan waves af-
ter the same manner in which under
sea torpedoes have been directed byI
electric batteries on land.
According to the information obtain
able the new aerial weapon obtains
its buoyancy through the medium of
water gas and compressed air gas.
The weapon is kept at any desired
height by means of two underbody
screws actuated by a common shaft.
The propelling power is afforded by
two stern screws and both the under
body and the stern screws are under
control of the Hertzian waves sent out |
from the Zeppelin.
The torpedo is composed of two
bodies, the outer composed of chrome
nickel steel and the finer of a sub
stance similar to that which enters
into the construction of Zeppelins. The
torpedo carries an electric accumulation
and also an electric motor generator, /
the latter being actuated by the |
Hertzian waves. These Hertzian
waves are projected on the telefunken
system.
The head of the torpedo is shaped
after the head of submarine torpedo
in order to enable the torpedo to pene-
trate through such material as roofing
and building structures. The torpedoes
arc filled with high explosives, picric
acid forming the base and it is esti-
mated that one of these torpedoes
would of itself be sufficient, If pro-
ected fairly, to destroy the entire
group of parliament buildings.
The method of firing the aerial tor
oedo it is learned, is to detach the
weapon from the Zeppelin after first

There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface, Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake IS
fullyrizcn; then increase the heat,
so as to brown it over quickly.
Extreme heat stiGcns the dough.
If You stiffcn the outside OF the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the lcaveuing gas, forming inside,
will bulge up the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape Of the cake. aa

made from stiff dough, that are rtinta

This IS because the cut surfaces ot the
dough do not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the

penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly, therefore they should be made
