Oil of the Porpoise,

The porpoises killed in winter are, the fattest and. produce most oil. The largest size measure about seven feet in length, five feet in girth and weigh about 300 pounds. Such a porpoise yields from six to seven gallons of oil. The blubber of a big porpoise weighs about 1Oc pounds and is one and al half inches thick in summer and two in winter. The jaws of the porpoise yield a superior quality of oil. When hung up in the sun 1t readily drips away into cans provided for. the pur- pose. the quantity of oil thus procured. however, being not more than half a pint to the jaw.

Portland, Maine, Aug. 29.-William M Ingraham, Assistant Secretary. of War; in a speech here last nighe de- clared that the Wilson administration has given the country the best Army bill that has ever been passed. He said that the measure, recently passed by Congress and signed by the Presi- dent, was the beginning of legislation of a character that means in a com paratively short time the United States will have an army adequate for de- fense in any emergency.
 MT. Ingraham discussed the subject Maine, returned today to make a se- ries of speeches in behalf of the Demo- cratic state ticket.
 "It is a struggle" he said in part, "between a party that has been tried and not found wanting, and a party that seeks to gain the power by means of general criticism and cannot offer any constructive plan of legislation to supplant that which 1t seeks to des- troy"
 MT. Ingrahan discussed the subject of preparedness. He said:
 'The Republican candidate is doing all he can to make political capital out O1 IIl0 u6AlCdu SlIudllOH. u0 troubles in that country started dur ing the administration of President Taft and were consequently handed down as a legacy to the present ad- ministration. The policy that Judge Hughes now cricticiZes is a perfectly natural one to have followed in the face of events as they occurred in Mexico. Hindsight Is very much. bet ter than foresight, and it is easy to criticize as Judge Hughes is doing. But I doubt very much if he would have pursued any other course had he been President, because I believe that with the responsibility resting on his shoulders he never would have plunged this country into war knowing the expense both in lives and treasure that must necessarily follow.
 "This administration wants to do the right. thing in protecting it's cfti- zens and its honor, but it is not going to get itself involved prematurely. If

 Attorney Cummings sought to me- diate. Gossipers said he was threat ened but this he denies. He summon ed Constable H. R. E1wood, but the man in the drivers seat escaped with the car, leaving the woman and a man who, she said. was her husbands valet
 A telephone call to Norwalk result ed in the capture of the man who said he was Fritznave. A. H. Canfield of the H. c. Garfield Vo., this city, bai1ed him out.
 The next morning the woman told her story. She said she had tried to take the wheel from the man, because he was too intoxicated to drive prop erly. He objected, she said, and they had fight. The story was accepted.

shr.nk,nq Billiard Balls.

AS ivory dries it shrinks, and exper1- ence has taught the ivory billiard ball turner that a tusk shrinks more in width than in length. To meet this peculiarly the best balls are made from tusks little thicker than the ball. The tusks of COW elephants are best for billiard balls. They are not so curved as bull tusks. and the fine nerve passage is not so plainly seen. The billiard ball is turned in the rough and kept in a warm room for two years. It is then, after shrinking, turned again to true. .
