HOW GERMANS USE ALUMINIUM

Austria and Germany use more
aluminium for war purposes than all
the other warning nations combined.
1t has been known, in fact, that Ger
many has for some years been COL
Letting and storing the metal for war
uses.
The great majority Of the drinking
mugs, cans and cups Of the German
soldier are made Of the light metal.
The frames for Zeppelins and the
fuses for shells are made from
aluminium.
One Of the difficulties the Germans
have had to face is the shortage Of
copper necessary for the rings round
shells. Many of the German shells
are now provided with aluminium
rings.
Although aluminium does make a
substitute, even in cartridges "a well
as shells and fuses, it is not so good
as copper. The French authorities ex-
perimented with it some wears ago
for artillery purposes, but rejected it.
The Germans are using it in such
large quantities because Of the short
age Of copper-Pcarson's Weekly.

Music BY 18th Cavalry Band.

AT the exercises held at the
Crystal Sunday afternoon, music
was furnished for the occasion
by Chief Musician Luedtke's
famous Thirteenth Cavalry Band.
This band makes a still better
showing than ever with their new
instruments. 1t is not often that
the people of Columbus are per.
mitted to hear this band since
the arrival of the ott2r military
bands, but it can most always be
recognized by it's music, and Co.
lumbus naturally believes it is
the best what u.s."

WHEEL MAKES LITTLE NOISE
Recent Invention Practically Ellml
mates Racket That Has lona
Been Complained OF.

A silent car wheel has been de-
signed by Edwin c. Madden, former.
" assistant postmaster general
which is asserted to have a number
of important advantages over the
old-fashioned wheel. II is said to
consist Of two wheels, one within the
other, and separated from each other
by means Of a rubber filling, and the
combination is said to take up all
vibration and shock, 80 that the noise
is reduced to almost nothing. Some
of these wheels have been in use on q
trolley line at Portland, Me-, for
nearly a year, and the degree Of sue
cess which has attended their use
has resulted in declaring the inven-
ton a success, and a factory is now
being reared where their manufac-
tufe on a large scale will be engaged
in. Not only is the noise eliminated,
but the riding qualities of the car are
greatly improved and the life Of the
rolling stock prolonged. The tires
and cushions are renewed easily and
economically, and the life Of the
wheel itself is far longer than that of
the ordinary cast wheel.
