Costly Airships.

Airships are an enormous item Of
expense in the accounts of an army
Zeppelins, for example, cost 100000
to build. Their construction takes a
year, yet they can be totally wrecked
by high wind in half an hour. To
fill a Zeppelin with gas costs $4,000
every time full head of hydrogen Is
pumped into the 500-foot envelope of
the airship. The great motors of the
vessel drink up petrol at the rate of
30 gallons an hour. Moreover, these
delicate machines require a $4,000
shed to house them if they are to be
safely anchored away from the pres
ence of boisterous weather.

Chance Rail GAUGE in Poland.

The Russian railroads in Poland, for
strategical reasons, were built on a
broad gauge The Germans have stand
ardized this gauge, but this change has
rendered useless all of the Russian
rolling stock which was left behind.
All freight cars, therefore, had to be
supplied from Germany, and a very
great shortage is the result.
1t is interesting to note that in
standardizing the railroads the Ger
mans have cut the ends of the railroad
ties even with the edge of the tracks,
thus making it impossible in the
event of a Russian reoccupation of
this country, to again broaden the
gauge without laying down an entire
ly new set of ties.-W H. Hamilton,
in Harper's Weekly.

She Runs a Louuinu Camp.

Logging is the vocation of Mrs. Bes
sic Platte of Coos Bay, Ore. Glovet
and aproned, she is on the job from
early morning till late at night, for she
has found that when she wants thing
done well she can do it herself. She
hires her own men and she fires
them herself. There is no camp thai
gets out more logs per man at Coos
Bay than that of Mrs. Platte. Wher
Mrs. Platte went to Coos Bay in 1917
she was cooking for a camp. Later
this camp closed down. 1t opened
again under new management with {
new crew and took Mrs. Platte as
cook. After four months the camp
failed. With the example of these two
failures Mrs. Platte took the camp ant
ran it herself. She had profited by
the mistakes she had seen the mer
make and so her logging was a sue
cess.

Ing. A few sheets can be purchased
for the purpose at a nearby store
You will likely have to paste together
two or more sheets to make one large
enough for your kite framework. The
paper should be placed on the outer
face of the bow-stick, and should be
allowed a little fullness, instead Of
stretching 1t tight as on the hexagonal
form of kite.
Attach a belly-band at the intersec-
ton of the bow-stick and vertical
stick Gig. y, and make 1t of the right
length so when held to one side 1t

Power of Lightning.

Lightning has been proved to have
struck a building with a force equal
to more than 12,000-horse power. A
single horse power, in mechanical cal
culation, is equivalent to raising a
weight of $4,000 pounds one foot in
a minute. The force of lightning,
therefore, has been proved to be equal
to the raising of 3S4,000,00O pounds
one foot in minute. This is equal
to the united power of Il Of our larg-
est steamers, having collectively "A
of 500-horse power each. The

Tribute to Italian Workers,

Italians have made such remarkable
progress in railroad work because
they are willing to begin at the bot
tom. They are not afraid of hard work
and do not start in with the miscon
ception that they know it all" They
are naturally industrious and temper
ate in their habits and are sustained
by a cheerful philosophy of life which
might we'll be emulated in the country
of their adoption. They are intensely
domestic and love Of home and chill
dren is their ruling passion.
Such men make good railroad mer
because they place a high value or
human life and are faithful and loyal
Men who are loyal to their families
are loyal to their country. And these
Italian railroad men have shown theiI
loyalty to the Stars and Stripes BY
becoming citizens of the United
States.-EXchange.

BIRDS CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Many Mishaps on Railroads Have
Been Traced to the Actions of
the Feathered Tribe.

Some peculiar difficulties on rail
roads are caused by birds, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. A fireman on the engine
of a passenger train from Cardiff to
Fishguard, after passing Peterstone
station, while looking out through the
engine spectacle glass for signals, was
injured by an owl which flew against
the glass and broke it, causing a piece
of glass to enter the tiremans eye.
The train was quickly stopped, medt-
cal attendance secured and later the
man was removed to the hospital. The
injury, however was so serious that
the unfortunate victim of this singu-
lar occurrence has lost the sight of
one eye and the sight of the other is
jeopardiZed. A short delay from a
most exceptional cause occurred on
one occasion to the 1920 a. m. passen-
ger train from Paddington to WOrCes-
ter. When the train was near Pang-
bourne a rock flew against the front
of the engine, striking the pipe of the
vacuum brake and causing the pipe to
become detached from the plug. This
admitted air to the brake pipes, caus-
ing the brakes to be applied, thus stop
ping the train. At Cardiff station the

marthen, was one day delayed owing

Authority.

If you must have your meat every

forms uric acid, which almost par
alyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or
sick. headache, dizziness, your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheuma-
tic twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of lad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
ueutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

tary of the Omaha Automobile club.
They buy no guide book or road

club. They make their trips a pleas
ure by stopping in every town and
asking the local club for road infor-
nation, trip slips or road maps, which
they expect free gratis.

them pay for a touring bureau for the
