Surveying like this has been already done
in the Alaskan waters over territory as
big as the state of Missouri. In some parts
of this area the waters have been tested at
every few feet, and you can tell the exact
depth over which your ship has to sail. In
other places the soundings are far apart, it
having been taken for granted that there
was no change in the bed of the ocean be-
tween them. This does very we'll for the
smooth parts of the sea bottom, but it does
not do for much of the waters of Alaska. In
the Panhandle, where | now am, the islands
are really half-submerged mountains, and
the ships sail in and out above the needle
tipped peaks of great mountain chain.
These mountains have spires and cathedrals
OF rock and in places there are rocky ODE
lisks that rise to the height of the Washing
ton monument or higher When such i
shaft comes out on an island it is covered
with green and is delight to the eye Of the
tourist When it rises from the bed of the
ocean and its peak is still concealed below
1t is then one of the deadly swords Of old
Father Neptune, ready and waiting to cut
the heart out of any ship that comes in its
path. These rocks are often of such small
area that they escape the soundings of the
coast survey They can be detected only by
the wire drag, which, sweeping along at a
given depth, is sure to strike against them
if they rise above the height at which is is
gagged.

WHAT WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
THINKS OF WILSON

IF1lNNS OF WIESON
William Allen White OF Emporia,
Kan, is one of the best known writ
ers and progressiVes in the U. S. Re
Gently in his newspaper, the Empo-
ria Gazette, White paid the following
tribute to Pres. Wilson:
How well he (Pres. WILSON,
seems to have managed it-this
whole sOrdid business of going to
war; how fair he has been; how pa
tient, how dignifed, how infinitely
gentle and kind!
mo buster; no threats; no snick-
er of anticipation; no licking of ma
TONS chops - just a simple-souled,
brave, soft-hearted, hard-headed
man. 1t is sad enough to go into
war of any kind at any time; but it is
less sad to go knowing that every
honorable means has been taken to
keep away from war. And this con-
ISOLATION Pres. Wilson has given US by
his wise, forbearing Christian atti-
tUde before the proVOcation of foe
mad and desperate and foolish. The
good God, who knows and watches
over all and sees all and directs all,
was in our hearts deeper than we
knew when as a nation we chose this
great, serene soul to lead u.s."

GREAT BRITAIN WILL CARRY
WAR TO U. S. COAST
London, Oct. 9.-Possible disagree
ment between Great Britain and the
U. S. as result of German U-bOats'
depredations off the American coast
was forecast by the Daily Chronicle
today.
Counter measures taken by allies
will hamper American trade and also
make it unhealthy for American
submarines off coast of the U. S.,
the newspaper asserted.
"The United States disagreed with
us when it admitted the Deutschland,
but the disagreement is much sharp
er when it admits a pirate craft like
the U-53 and fraught with many
more inconvenience for the United
States" said the Chronicle. What
is to prevent the U-53 being replen-
ished at American ports and practi-
caly using the American coast as
base for preying on French and Brit
ish steamers?
obviously, if Germany is allowed
to wage such a war off the United
States coast we must take counter
measures. American trade will be
hampered, and, incidentally, the
other side of the Atlantic will become
very unhealthy, not only for German,
but for American submarines"

The man who does this is simply
working for the tire companies, al
though he may not realize 1t. Keep
the small stone cuts in your castings
filled with some good tire filler. This
will keep out water and oil, two of the
worst enemies to tire fabric, and put
hundreds of extra miles on every cas-
ing. Get in the habit of looking for
these small cuts and filling them up
every week or so. Then there is the
matter of inner tubes. Oil will ruin
an inner tube in a week. Don't throw
your extra inner tubes in promiscuous-
ly with your spare tools and your oil
can. Wrap them carefully in cloth
or, better still, get a couple of good
strong cloth bags for them. Some of
the tire companies supply these bags
free or they can be made at home with
very little trouble
But the real big rule of all is, keep
your tires blown up to the proper pres
sure recommended by the maker. Sup
ply yourself with a good pressure
gauge and be sure that it is accur-
ate, and then use it.
''If motorists would observe these
few simple rules and occasionally read
some of the literature published by the
tire companies, they would find that
their tires would last them a whole lot
longer and that most of their tire
troubles that have been taking the
fun out of their trips would disappear
for good"

Stout Appointed Sales
Manager For Scripps-BoO

In line with the usual progress
which is being made at the Scripps-
Booth factory. under the new man
agement of Clarence III. Booth, comes
the announcement of the appointment
of William b. Stout to the position of
general sales manager. taking the
place of r. II. Spear, resigned.
Mr.. Stout was first known as engi-
neer for the Scripps- Booth Company
during the design period of the luXur-
ious light roadster for which the or
ganization has become famous. The
of the car, with its wide ap-
peal in a new field, made the Scripps-
Booth Company at once factor in De-
troit motorcar circles. When the car
was ready for distribution, Mr.. Stout
was placed in charge of advertising.
Scripps-Booth advertising within a
year was as much talked about and
copied as was the car, this, too, being
accomplished from an appeal of orig
inality and a new spirit of progress.
Scripps-B Booth affairs have been en-
tirely reorganized; the new building is
completed, and production under a
new system is now under way. Changes
in the organization are but an indi-
cation of extreme activity at the
Scripps-B Booth plant, which offers

great promise of record production
for this plant for next month.

changes in any of the laws has not
been determined, for the members
doubt if they were appointed for that
purpose. Several have expressed the
opinion that they we're appointed only
to expose any graft or wrong doing, to
hear any charges and to find out how
the law had been administered.
The committee has already gone
upon record on the only complaint
made and that was against Judge
Meningitis approval of road warrants.
By unanimous vote his course was
approved from start to finish. The
members also expressed the opinion
unofficially that no county Judge could
personally examine into and determine
personally whether every road warrant
issued by district commissioner was
properly issued. That manifestly
would be impossible.
