'0NLY A TRAMP" SAYS
HERO IN Brave DEED
Rescues Child From Track just
In Front Of Train-Made
Thrilling Dive.

Dubuque, la. Aug. 3l.-After maxi
ing n of the most daring rescues that
has been witnessed here in many years,
one in which he had but one chance
ont OF 100 to save his own life, a
roughly dressed man when asked for
his name replied:
Tell EN- I'm only Il tramp-just a
common hobo what amt no good in
this world. Put it in the paper that
way" He then turned his back and
walked away.
tramp near the Cascade crossing Of
the Illinois Central railway. George
Culver, 10 years old, was carrying his
baby brother in his arms. crossing a
bridge. When but q few feet from the
other end the Shrek of an engine
whistle was heard and the boy saw
an Illinois Central train bearing down
on him, less han two block away. He
turned around and saw his dog Spot"
about one-third of the way across the
bridge. He dropped his brother be-
tween the rails and ran back to get the
dog.
When the train was but a half block
from b bridge, the tramp appeared
from some underbrush and rushed to
the roadbed. He literally dove at the
and the pair rolling down a short en-
banlsment.
Eye witnesses who We're running to
the spot, stated that the man had less
h n foot to spare and that the
train was less than is feet away from
him when he made his famous dive.
Incidentally, George got his dog
safely to the other side of the bridge
before the train crossed.

Spirit of the Guardsman.
From tho Outlook.

Last wesk we printed a letter from an
enlisted member of a New York national
guard regiment. The simple facts which
that letter related showed the inefficiency
OF our present state militia system. The
writer of that letter expressed the opinion
that when the national guard returns
there won't be any Seventh, Twelfth and
S~eventy-first left; that every one was
going Ito get out as soon as possible
The attempt to federalize the militia has
resulted, as it was bound to result, IN
failure: and the member of the national!
guard know it.
1t is the system that is wrong, however,
not the men. The spirit of the national
Suardsman in the face of a bad system
and a Numbering policy is Illustrated by
the following extracts from a letter. The
writer of the following letter, like the
writer OF the letter we published last
week, is Il member of d New York regi-
ment of the national guard which is sta
toned on the Mexican border:
Recently there has been a good deal of
SruInbllnS among the men, several of
whom have gone home because their en-
listments have expired. There is a feel
ing down here that the administration is
using us as Il political eNpedient in order
to secure a trained body of men in case
OF an actual crisis. OF course there are
a number here who are really needed at
home or else are physically weak. L
and / don't come under either one of these
categories, so long as our pay continues,
but even if We did l shouldn't feel much
different than l do now. Surely 1t is a
great asset for our country to nave a
trained body of men. if not to perfection,
at least having a general idea Of military
affairs. This is the fundamental truth to
consider. not what the motives or personal
profits OF any one man are. but the good
OF the whole u. S. A. L can't see the sit
nation In ;:ny other way. | can't help but
feel that this is an era of sacrifice; that
1T is vitality necessary that some of us
obtain this training, and that the national

Some people have 1t in rose-blooming

acid, and 1t causes the inside of the nose
to be representative. The nerves running
to the eyes becoming infected would cause
itching and swelling. Nerves running
back of the throat, down to the bronchial
tubes. carry the Inflammation, and a case
of asthma results. Now Il substance to
counteract an acid is an alkali. Bicarbon-

Use Substitute for Gasoline.

The following is taken from an article
on a mixture of alcohol and benzol as
fuel for motor cars which appeared in
lie Progress, a daily newspaper pub
lished at Lyon, France:
Among the many efforts made by
Germany to counterfeit the effects of
a blockade. one of special interest is
h replacing of gasoline for motor cars
by a mixture OF alcohol and benzol
With the cessation of imports of gas
oline into Germany the supplies of PEE
troleum drawn from wells in Galicia
proved inadequate for the needs of the
central powers. For this reason the
German government instructed the
technical department of the Transport
tation service to seek a conbustible
that would effectively replace gasoline.
The outcome of these experiments
was the employment of a mixture of
alcohol and benzol. A Mercedes car of
1914 touring model, having an ordinary
purposes.
Results show that for equal parts
of alcohol and benzol a speed of AZ
miles an hour could be attained and
that 4.66 miles We're covered on one
pint of the fuel. When two parts of
alcohol to one of benzol We're used a
speed of Al miles and Az miles to a
pint Of fue We're the records. With
three parts of alcohol and one of benzol
the speed of 80 miles and the distance
covered on each pint 4.3A miles; with
four parts of alcohol the speed was SO
and the distance Al; with five parts of
alcohol the speed was 36 and the dis
lance 3.72. On pure benzol AZ miles an
hour was the speed and 3.79 miles the
distance covered IN one pint of fuel.
On pure gasoline the speed was "A
miles n the distance per pint 3.6
miles.
Even if the alcohol be figured at be-
fore the war prices the use Of such a
mixture is an economy. One pint Of
gasoline costs S.55 cents, benzol SIT
cents and alcohol 7.79 cents.
However, there remained q serious
drawback in connection with this mix
ture, and that was the difficulty in
starting the motor car. This was over
come by installing On each car Il small
supplementary reservoir containing
gasoline, benzine or ether, which is
drawn upon when starting the car, and
the alcohol benZole fuel then substi-
tuted.
Germany now makes current use Of
this mixture, which is readily manu-
featured by distilling beets and coal
tar. both of which products abound in
that country.
