RELATIVE OF LOCAL WOMAN HUGHES WIFE
Presidential Nominee Was Started on Career by Second Cousin of Mrs.
 James Shepard.

Of particular interest to MT. and Mrs. James Shepard of 139 Lake street is the nomination of Charles E. Hughes for the presidency. MT. Hughes father-in-Iaw, the late Wal ter $. Carter, famous New York lawyer was a cousin of Mrs Shepard's S father and often visited at her home in this city.
 Justice Hughes was born in Pleas ant Valley, Connecticut His wife was formerly Miss Antoniette Smith Car ter. Her father moved to New York where he established large practice, particularly among the foreigners, and he rapidly forged to the fore as a jurist. He took many young men into his office to study law and 1t is safe to state that no American lawyer

NO MILITARISM

Standing on the banks of the his- toric Hudson, facing the graduating
 class of the United States Military
 Academy at West Point, President Wilson yesterday afternoon gave these l young gentlemen some excellent ad-
 vice as to their conduct in the future.
 He placed clearly before them the
 patriotic duties that fall in the sphere I of men connected with the military 1 organizations of the United States, of two great units of defense, the Army and the Navy. The President drew a sharp line of differentiation between the terms military. and militarism. In fallen into disrepute. It is the one check-mate that will hold "prepared- ness" in it's place, will keep the move- ment from gaining such headway it might override everything else, while at the same time it allows the idea to spread until we set up sufficient power of defense. Our army and our navy were never builded for aggres- sion. The officers in both of these or ganizations were not drafted from 8 special class, but were taken, and are taken, from the great bulk of the American people, from all parts of the nation, from all conditions. The poor boy has as much chance to reach the top-most position in the army, or in the navy, as has the son of the wealthiest man in the United States, providing the poor boy possesses the initiative for study and progress along this chosen line. TEis is exemplified in the latest report from the Navy Department which shows that twen- ty-three enlisted men have passed the qualifying examination for ad- mission to Annapolis, the Naval Academy. Under the law which makes it possible for men to go up from the ranks every year fifteen en- listed sailors are allowed to take the course at Annapolis, providing they pass the examinations. Because there are eight more this year than the stip- ulated number Secretary Daniels has appealed to Congress asking for au- thority to appoint all the successful candidates. It is hoped this will be granted When men are allowed to go from plain ordinary seamanship to commanding officers the democracy of the American military organiza- tions need never be questioned. So long as every American boy, physical ly and mentally and morally fit, has a chance to gain admission to either West Point or Annapolis, so long will militarism be a bQgaboo in the United States. There can never be built up here a system such as those known in other countries where men who hold office in the military organiza- tions look down upon their civilian brothers. In this country there is no chosen class, there never will be any so long as we adhere to, the funda- mental principals of Americanism and do not surrender our right of free government to some aristocratic Flu ropean power. These are the things that must be safeguarded

Measures Force Required
to Break Gear Tooth

Another triumph for automobile en-
gineers is recorded in the develop
ment of gear impact testing ma
chine which actually determines the
exact force required to break a gear
tooth. Heretofore, although tests of
this nature have been conducted since
the beginning of the industry, it has
been possible to estimate only approx
mately the force expended, without
taking into definite consideration the
force left over. 1t is in its ability to
record the latter that the machine re-
Gently perfected by the engineers of
the Dodge Brothers physical labora-
tories differs from earlier designs. In
TINS respect 1T is distinctly new and
superior.
AS indicated by the accompanying
Illustration, the gear under test is set
in an iron base. A sharp steel blade
is inserted between two teeth. The
blade is at the end of a heavy steel
arm which extends out into the path
of pendulum-like weight. When
the weight falls, it drives the blade
through the tooth. AS the weight
strikes the gear, the dial at the top to
which it Is attached, records the left

by the falling mass is a known quan-
tity, it is a simple problem in arith-
metfc to compute the total energy ex-
pended.
The development of this machine is
characteristic of the Dodge Brothers
policy of rigid tests for all materials
and dependable instruments for do
