New Liqht-Weidht Allows.

Two new lightweight alloys are in.
teresting recent patents. The alloy of
aluminium with 10 per cent Of calcium,
produced by somewhat difficult OPP
GRAFTON, is claimed to be not only much
harder and more durable than alumni
mum alone, but to be more easily ma
chined. It is also to 10 per cent
lighter, unlike aluminium hardened
with copper or zinc. 1t is pronounced
especially suitable for automobile and
aircraft castings and for other pur-
poses requiring lightness, strength and
resistance to corrOsion. The other al
10y is heavier one of aluminium and
iron, containing at least 20 per cent Of
the former, with one to six of the lat
ter. A small amount of zinc, copper,
nickel, cadmium. magnesium or man
ganese is allowable, but the proportion
OF silicon must be kept very low. The
special claim for this alloy is that it's
freedom from risk of cracking and it's
increased density, preventing leakage
OF gases that might cause premature
explosion, adapt it for fuses and de-
tonatOrs for explosive shells.

Explosions Compared.

A very worthy little effort that ex-
plosion of ours, which Mr.. Lloyd
George heard at Walton Heath-but,
compared with what nature can do in
this direction, popgun affair, says the
London Chronicle. When Krakatoa
blew her crazy old head off four and
twenty years ago, her rage was heard
5000 miles away. Her committed dust
drifted, miles high, round and round
the earth for three years, and gave US
such sunsets as had never before been
recorded. As to damage, the vixen set
up wave which rocked the waters Of
our British lakes and swallowed 800
villages and $500 people in Java and
Sumatra.

PAST MASTER or TRAckERs
Motive Australian 10 More Deadly
Than Oieedheund When Trailing
Criminal Through oOoeet.

! The art Of the professional tracker ID
. fascinating thing to watch. The old.
time western plainsman could trail Q
deer for two days through the forest,
the modern White mountain Apache of
Arizona will follow q moccasined man
over broken Jagged lava country; there
are said to be tribes in the interior Of
Brazil who can track for short dis
tances by scent. But the king and past
master Of all crackers, the man who
can make an Apache look like an an
prentice Boy Scout is the black fellow
of Australia. He will perform feats Of
tracking that are almost beyond belief
The native Australian peoples are
ranked very low in the scale of human
ity and 1t may be because they are the
most primitive Of all races that they
retain an almost animal delicacy of
perception. They add to it. however, a
very fine reasoning power in the things
of the bush. and by combining the two
qualities they can tell not only where
the man or the animal they track is
going. hut even what he is doing on
the way.
The most spectacular exploits of the
truckers have been accomplished in
the pursuit Of criminals. on whose trail
they are more deadly than blood
hounds. The Australian mounted no
liceman takes a black tracker along
when he follows criminal into desert
or bush. and that settles it. The track
err will stay on the trail until the end
of 1t is reached. 1t may take dav or
week or month-in one instance II
took ten weeks-but the black fellow
never loses the trail for long. He will
trail across rocks. across wind-blOwn
sand. through a tangle Of other foot
prints, he will pick up the track again
If the quarry takes to the water, and
nc will report accurately the condition
Of the man pursued, whether he is
strong or weakening.
So expert do these natives become in
that they can recognize a
friend or an enemy as readily by his
as by his face. Personal
Identification Of footprint by an ex-
pert black tracker is accepted as good
evidence In a court Of law. Such a
racker can even recognize the hoef.
mark Of almost every horse that Is
Known to him. I

EFFICIENCY FOR WHAT?

A young man of "a stepped into a
business office in large city and
walked up to desk where an elderly
man sat examining a bundle of pa
pers.
Look at that, father" the young
man said with smile of pride. GIVE
made nearly one hundred on my eff
ficiency chart? What do you think
of that"
The business man looked up at his
son with a smile and feeling of
pride at his appearance, and then his
eye fell on the list of questions put
by the efficiency bureau that had in
terested the young man to compete
with many others for first place.
/. Are you physically sound and
free from all trace of disease?
2. Can you apply yourself to
mental labor without great fatigue?
3. Are you an exact mathemati-
clan?
/. Do you have any bad habits?
5. Would you be willing to en-
ploy yourself in a business that re-
quired honesty, quickness of judg-
ment, keen intellect?
6. Are you quick to see and take
advantage Of a business opportunity?
7. Are YOU in debt? If SO. how
did you become so?
s. Do you have extravagant hab-
its of dress, amusements, or social
life?
9. Can you secure good letters of
from business men
in the city who know you?
10. How much money have you
ever earned, and how did you earn
it?
The. father read the list and then,
without a word, reached for a sheet
of paper and put down the following:
1. Are you a Christian? Would
you follow the teachings of Jesus if
to do SO should result in the loss of
money and position?
2. Do you have some great cause
Of humanity at heart, and are you
ready to give your hearts enthusiasm
or it?
3. Are you as active and as use
'ul in some church as you are in your
business of money making?
A. Do you pray and read the Bible
laily?
5. Are you planningI to do a
mans part by sharing in the bur-
len Of good citizenship
The father handed these questions
o his son. The son read them, and
lis face paled and grew red by turns.
lie faltered. His father was dis
inguished and deeply consecrated

life outlined in the questions. The

5000 articles of knitted wool have
been required of the St. Mary Chap
ter. The immediate problem is to
secure the funds to purchase the
wool. About $4,000 will be needed
to meet the Parish allotment. When
the wool is secured there will be
knitting work for every woman and
Miss in the Parish. Urgent need
of these wooden articles will soon be
felt by the boys in the trenches and
the Chapter must begin its work as
quickly as possible. When this work
is started it will be impossible for
"flappers" to hide behind excuses
of any kind. The work is momen-
tous and pressing and every willing
worker will be in demand.

Chicago, Bec-s4ee-sz-SsA A warning to farmers not to ship hogs but to hold them back for the present in order to avoid falling prices was sent out to- day by J. C. Cotton, head of the meat division of the food administration. In a written statement he said:
 Hold back your hogs. On Novem- Der 3, I stated that the prices of hogs so far as this division could affect them, would not fall below about S15.5O per hundredweight for the av- craze of the. packers droves on the Chicago market until further notice. That statement I make again
 "The packers inform me they are do- ing their best to aid us in that policy, but largely owing to transportation difficulties in the east, there is now a glut of hogs on the Chicago market and more hogs than the packers can kill and handle.
 "The farmers and commission men in this territory must help by holding back hogs te temporarily, especially from the Chicago market. If there is CO., operation, the minimum will be main- tained- Do not sacrifice your hogs by dumping. them on an overcrowded market"

KING, DEMOCRAT. ELECTED MAYOR OF MERIDEN
Republicans Elected Eleven to City
 Council, Democrats Four.

Meriden, Conn, Dec. 18.-Henry q. King, democrat, was elected mayor today by a majority of 11O votes over Wilbur F. Parker, republican. The republicans elected eleven candidates to the city council and the democrats only four which with the election of the two republican candidates for sheriff. showed that the democratic victory only applied to the head of the ticket. MT. Parker ran 124 votes behind his ticket
 Because of a tie vote for councilman in the fifth ward the standing of the 1918 city council is thrown in doubt. Until the tie is dissolved the stand ing will be 15 republicans and 14 democrats. The council has been democratic the past year and the city administration has been democratic.
 Mayor-elect King made an issue of the increase in salary from S1 900 to $2,500 for the mayor. He promised to give full time and full service for the new salary. The republicans con demned the present city adn1inistra- tion and promised to conduct the city's business on broad patriotic lines on account of the war. The success full candidate for mayor was formerly corporation counsel and park com missioner under Mayor Thomas L. Reilly. MT. Parker has been an al- dernan for eighteen years and re- publican leader.
