Among the Dead Are u
Women and e Children
Victims of "KuItur"
OF THE SIXTEEN RAIDERS
THREE ACCOUNTED FOR.
43 Women and 10 Children
lnjured---Great Battle
IN the Skies
By Ed L. Keen.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, May 26.-Death dealing Ger
man attacks by 16 aircraft, resulting
in the killing and injuring of scores of
women and children and followed by
battles in the clouds between British
and enemy airplanes, yesterday, mark
ed the bloodiest Teutonic aerial attack
on England since the wars opening.
Details were revealed today in admiral
ty and home defense statements.
The casualty list was officially fixed
at rs killed and ia injured, 81 women
and % children among the dead. and
AZ women and 10 children among the in
jured.
Royal naval air service airplanes at
Dunkirk, called into action immediate
ly, swung into battle array above the
channel. Here a series of thrilling en-
counters occurred. One British machine
gave battle with three of the enemy
craft-and shot one of the trio down.
The two sped on with the other raiders
to encounter more naval planes over the
Belgian coast. Far aloft the two forces
sailed and maneuvered and fought Be.
fore the enemy forces could escape, two
twin engine machines were shot down TO
the ground. OF the 16 aircraft partici-
pating in the raid, six were therefore
accounted for.
Damage in the Town.
The raid occurred over the Hsouth-
east coast" according to the official
announcement. Most of the damage was
done in one town.

the southeast coast last night,' Lord
French's statement said. "Seventy-six
killed and 174 were injured. The raid
occurred between 5:15 and $3.50 .. m.
Bombs were dropped at number of
places, but the damage was mostly in
one town. Three enemy airplanes were
downed. r. F. G. aeroplanes pursued
the enemy and they were also sought
by r. M. A. forces at Dunkirk, in re-
firing"
"All our machines are safe, !" the ad-
miralty announcement declared.
Assuming all casualties in this raid
were of non-combatants, the total num-
ber Of civilians killed since the start
of the war by German air raids-Zeppe-
Inns and aeroplanes both-is raised to
305 killed and 729 wounded in today g

The only air raid which approached
the present one in destruetiveness of
human life was that of March 81, 1916.
Six Or seven Zeppelins were part of this
raiding force and their depredations ex-
tended over six eastern counties, the
victims totaling SO killed and 1O1 in
jured

these air battles, the admiralty an

EIGHT CYLINDERS IS
LIMIT, SAYS ENGINEER

With the gradual increase from
time to time in the number of cyl
inders In the automobile power plant
one of the questions occasionally
heard is, When is it going to stop?"
Writing on this subject in the An
'tomobile Imperial year book, pub
lished in London, w. @. Aston, an
English engineer, comments in these
words:
at may now be asked why not con.
tinue 10 multiply cylinders and gain
an even better result. The answer TO
this is very simple. Eight cylinders
are only two more than six. and the
improvements which they produce
are very marked. Now the next size
of engine would be l2-cylinder, or
half again as many cylinders, which
would not possibly give so per cent
better results, and so on. An inspec-
ton of the torque curves will show
that as the cylinders are increased,
the difference in the characteristics
OF the curves tend to become Tess
marked Drawn to the same scale.
the curves OF a 16-cylinder engine
would hardly be distinguishable from
the 12, and the ~ scarcely distin-
guishab}e from those OF the eight For
ordinary purposes, therefore the
eight may be considered to be the
ideal as well as the practical maxi
mum, for motor car work at all
events"

FIXES TRUCK TIRE
CUT WITH A NAIL
Then Demountable Tire Gives
i22,OOo Miles of Uninter-

It's a fact. Their name is the Phil
lips Hardware company, and their
place of business is in Easton, Mary
land.
One day they were out driving their
one ton Kelly Springfield truck equip

States Demountable tires weren't
made to run over broken bottles.

and various other sharp reminders tof
the shortness of tire life
So, not knowing what better TO do
and being in a big hurry to get back
to the beefsteak, they decided - nail
the cut together--and nail t they did
with the largest spike they could use. ?
Then, for some twenty-five thousand
miles more they left the imprint of a
nail head wherever they ran the truck.

points and continue to slowly turn in
the shaft, in direction of rotation,
until the interrupter points just begin
to open.
Z. Fasten the shaft, being careful
not to change the setting and also be

s. Connect the secondary cables to

There is one difference in the in
struction as given above. and the in
struction for timing as given b. one
of the magnetic manufacturers, name
ly, in the fact that | have told you to
set cylinder No. !. at top dead center,
and spark fully retarded. while the
magnetic makers instruction is to set
cylinder No. / about one half to five
eighths of an inch of piston travel
before dead center and to have the
spark lever fully advanced. Where
the flywheel is marked by the manu-
facturer of the car or engine with an
IN" or Magnetic" then the advance
setting should be used, as when the
mark NJ is on top, the piston will be
about one half inch before dead CEN
ter. IT, however, you do not have this
guide. you will find it almost impos-
sible to set the cylinder the proper
distance before dead center, and L
would then use the retard setting.
Note that the lever is not slightly
advanced as it is with the distributor
system This is because the magnetic
has what is known as lag, so that
the spark actually comes slightly
after the fnterrupter points open.
A large proportion of magnetos
have the distributor plates designed as
shown in Fig. No. |. obviously, II
would be bad practice to cross the
wires running from the segments To
the binding posts on top, and these
wires will, therefore, be cast in the
plates, as shown by the dotted lines.
From this you can readily reason
why, when the brush revolves in
clockwisc direction, the lower LETT
hand segments is. chosen as No. /.

would be connected were the firing

ARE MANY USELESS MOTIONS
Shaving, for Instance, Is Field in
Which Services of Efficiency Elk
pert Are Greatly Needed.

One Of the most fantanstic per-
sons in the world is the public Off
cial who before he can write a postal
order or tax receipt has to make
preliminary curls Of penmanship in
the air. Observed by the scientific
eye, we are much more fantastic our
selves.
If our effective motion could be
registered on visual target our rec
ord would be found to resemble that
of savages who use ammunition
without sight on their guns. If we
think that the ordinary soldiers
craftsmanship is wasteful, we may
well look to ourselves. Our life is
peppered with motions that fly wide
and wild, 1t begins on awaking. We
stretch our arms-waste motion |!
We ought to utilize that gesture for
polishing our shoes. We rub our
eyes-more foolishneSs. We should
rub our eyes on Sunday for the rest
of the week.
But it is in processes like shaving
that scientific management is really
needed. Men fatter themselves that
they shave with the minimum of
gesture. They believe that they COM
plete the operation under FIVE min
utes. But excusing their inaccuracy,
do they know that under the inspec-
ton of the scientific manager their
performance would look as jagged
as their razor blade under the micro
scope? The day will probably arrive
when a superman will shave with
one superb motion as delightful to
the soul as the ncoiling of an
orange-skin in one long unbroken
peel.-New Republic.

OIL AND TIDES.

It is reported that the production
of the oil fields bordering the gulf
coast and even of the wells them
selves, varies with the flow and ebb
of the tides. Certain members of the
oil fraternity with an investigative
turn of mind studied that matter
until their conclusion was that in a
way the ocean is connected with the
wells and influences their produc-
ton. A recent heavy offshore wind
drove the waters back SO that the
normal low water line was high and
dry, and at the same time the pro-
duction of the oil and gas wells fell
off appreciably, those nearest the gulf
being most affected.

AIRPLANEs AND ASH TREES.

A timber expert states that the de-
mand for ash has gone up so enor-
mously since we went in for airplane
construction on the present big scale
that prices are fully three times what
they were in pre-war days. Moth
ing but the very best English ash
serves the purpose. "The finest in
the world" is his verdict. Experl-
ments with other wood, notably
American spruce, have yielded most
disappointing results, and it is GU
rious fact, due to climatic causes,
that Irish ash is unsatisfactory too.
But an ash tree cannot be grown IN
q dav. The timber is utterly worth
less for airpIane purposes unless 1t
is at least sixty years old. 1t is all
the better if it is double that age,
when some of the trunks can show a
clear, straight run of 80 feet or more.

The money was returned to her BY
a blind peanut vender who has a
stand at Twenty-eighth and M
streets.
Miss Williamson bought a bag of
peanuts from the man and acciden-
tally gave him a fye-dollar gold
piece instead of a nickel. She missed
the coin not long afterward, but it
did not occur to her that she had
paid it out accidentally until some
one suggested that possibility sew
eral days later.
She went back to the vender's
stand and asked him if he had acct
dentally taken in fve-dollar gold
piece instead of a nickel. He put
his hand into his coat pocket and
took out scrap of paper in which
the missing gold coin was wrapped.
He explained to Miss Williamson
that one of his customers had been
honest enough to return it to him
when he gave it out as five cents in
change. He had put it away safely,
for he expected that sooner or later
it would be called for.-Youth's
