TO BUILD CONCRETE SHIPS
Norway, Sweden and Denmark Have
Embarked on Construction of This
Type of Vessel.

Norway, Sweden and Denmark
have already embarked on the con-
struction of ferro-concrete vessels,
and very extensive tests of this
point have been conducted by the
German Concrete union, in the
United States and elsewhere. One
point that appears to be currently
accepted is the unfavorable influence
OF lime in the cement, which is at
tackled by various ingredients in salt
water such as magnesium sulphate,
says the Scientific American.
There are, however, varieties of
concrete such as 'puzzolane," which
contain no free lime; also, if very
dense concrete is used, it is not ma
terlally penetrated, and any decom-
position is only surface process.
Inc chief precautions against preiu-
dlclal action Of salt water appear to
be; O The use of rich concrete,
(S) the use of cement with little
free lime, gypsum and alumina, (3)
the addition of puzzolane, contain
ing slllcic acid to fix the free lime,
az the use of coarse sand, (5) the
use of dense concrete, (e) special
surface treatment.

No Sale by Baptist Improvement
Band this Year.
Aug. %, 1917.

At a recent meeting of the I'm
provement Band of the First Baptist
Church, it was decided that, owing
to the war in which the United
States is engaged and the great de-
mand for supplies for the Red Cross
Society, the ladies will not hold their
sale of embroidery, fancy articles,
ETC., this year. In order, however,
to accommodate their customers,
they will endeavor to fill any orders
sent in. Orders may be addressed

REWARD FOR SAVING BIRD
'Ten-Year-oId Boy Given Medal for,
Rescuing Imprisoned Robin by I,
Daring Ascent Of Tree.

The Connecticut Humane society
through it's president, Rev. William
Deloss Love. has informed ten-year-
old Michael Ravolefe of the Second
North school, East Hartford, that he
is to have medal for rescuing an
imprisoned robin.
Little Michael had to climb an
elm tree rs to IS feet high to effect
the rescue, says the New York
World. The robin had flown to one
of the topmost branches with long
string in its bill for nest building
The string caught in stoutI twig
and as the robin worked to get it
free, the string tangled itself into a
double hitch about one of its legs. 1t
was thus held prisoner and was no
ticed for two days helpless trying to
work itself loose and squeaking
plaintively.
MlchaelS SchOOltelloWS were Talk
ing about the bird and he asked them
to lead him to the elm. 1t took him
more than half an hour to work his
way to the top Of the tree. And at
the last of the job it required nerve
and GOODNESS, for he was out on very
slender and swaying branches.
But he managed to reach the twig
to which the string had fastened it.
self and snapped it off. With this
hanging to its legs the robin fut-
tered to the ground, was released
and flew off wildly chirping at its re-
stored freedom.

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
Lineman Resuscitated After He Appar-
emily Had Been Killed by Touch
ing Heavily Charged Wire.

A remarkable case of resuscitation
after electric shock is narrated IN a
recent report of an inspector OF a
New York power company, which
gives particulars of the recovery OF
one of his men from the effects of an
electric shock.
The man, when about to erect pri-
mary wires, was apparently killed by
accidentally touching wire carry
ing current at 1890 volts. A line
man Immediately took hold of the
ankles of the limp body, lifting it
until the whole weight rested on the
neck, and letting it fall. He then
took a pair of connectors and ham
mered the soles of the injured mans
feet without removing his shoes. An
other lineman opened the mans
mouth, pulled forward the swallowed
tongue (Which occurs in electric
shock), and was about to begin the
Schaefer prone method of resuscita-
ton, while the man returned to life.
He was removed to the hospital, and
is now well, though suffering severe
ly from his burns.
. Similar cases of recovery are men
toned in connection with the plan
of striking the feet without removing
the boots or shoes in case of electric
shock.-Scientifc American.

HAYHURST THE HIGH MAN

1t must be gratifying to Walter F. Hayhurst forme
prosecutor of the pleas Of unedon county, and candidate
the primary ticket in the city of Lambertvie, his
home town. and condentiay predicted by his friends
that he will have majority vote, locally in the general
election.
While Republicans have not been especially abundant
in Hunterdo1 county Offices they have been coming into
their own lately and the election of Mr. Hayhurst to the
New Jersey legislature is not such impossbiy as his
opponents pretend to believe
Probably the best thing that has been said for Mr.
Hayhurst by either friend foe is that his integrity is
unquestioned. His ability is generally admitted, and
should he be the victor at the polls Hunterdon county
well feel that its interests are in safe hands.

their careful use of water during
the present dry season. A few con-
tinue to waste the water by unneces-

have refrained from such excess
sive use.
There is sufficient water on hand
to carry US through the dry season
if the water is used sparingly and
no waste is permitted.
Until further notice there is to
be as little sprinkling of streets as

KNOWING ONES ! DO NUT WANT
 TONNEAU SEAT

Did you ever go touring with friends when you were given your choice of q seat in just about such way as which would you rather do or ride in the rear seat" asks Frank Harrington, writing in the current issue of Ameri- can Motorist.
 Continuing MT. Harrington says:
 Some people like to ride in front and some like to ride behind, but it is my observation that the people who like the tonneau are just as likely to have the front seat wished upon them, while those who want to get in behind the windshield quite frequently have to take the breezes in the rear.
 q don't think the driver, or the per son in control of the driver, gives suf- ficient thought to the comfort of those poor, luckless wights back there at the mercy of the gales and the swaying and swinging and skidding of the car on poor roads.
 Plenty of owners, thinking to give the old lady pleasant afternoon, have put Aunt Emma through such an eN- perience as she would not undergo again for peck of potatoes or a bush el of onions. The carefree individual who habitually drives the car knows mighty little of what it is like to ride behind with a feeling that there is nothing between life and death but a trust in Providence and firm grip on the topbraces.

ity for the statement that more than half of the inner tubes returned for ad justment are nothing more or less, than victims of abuse, and are not defective, as claimed by the purchasers, says AL bert Marble, writing in the current is sue of American Motorist. This is rather a sweeping statement, anu, 1T true, it appears as though the tire user in general might, with profit to himself and the tire companies, be enlightened as to the proper care of the automobile inner tube.
 Says MT Marple:
 There are number of things which absolutely must be done if the tube is to give it's best service. In the first place. it must be realized that the tube is made of rubber, and that rubber has a number of natural enemies. Among these are sunlight, oil, grease, acid. water and the very atmosphere itself. One of the worst of these is sunlight, which has an effect of drying up the rubber whereupon it becomes brittle and loses its elasticity, when it is known as 'macaroni (brittle) rubber.

OVERLAND LIGHT
 FOUR MAKES A|I
 ENV|ABLE RECORD

Samuel Pullman, theatrical manager of Dallas, Texas, arrived in St. Louis, Mo, the other day with a remarkable story about the touring efficiency of the Overland light four, according to Manager H. H. Hotchkiss, of the Over land Arizona company, local Overland agents.
 On May 25, with his wife and daugh- ter, Bullman left Dallas, and up to his arrival in St. Louis, on his return nome he had travelled approximately 5000 miles over treacherous roads without having lifted the hood of his car except for oiling purposes.
 Bullman's tour took him through Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Mon tana, Yellowstone Park, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, H. linois and Missouri. His car without trouble climbed the famous Rattoon Pass, which rises 900 feet at d dis tance of 12 miles. In one day it had to ford IS creeks and small rivers Time after time. Pullman said, he had to turn out for other makes of cars, which were in distress, and more than once he aided much larger and more powerful machines.

WOMEN AUTO|STS FIND OlDS ARE
 EASY TO HANDLE

Mrs. Y. S. Johnson of San Diego is accounted one of the cleverest motor ists among the fair sex of southern California. Mrs. Johnson has owned and driven three ears and by those who know her deXterous handling of the wheel and her general knowledge of the operation of an automobile she is considered no mean opponent on the road.
 Recently the fair San Diegan made three trips between San Diego and Los Angeles and her running time was close to the four-hou mark and on each occasion she declares there was DO shifting of gears All three trips were made in her new Oldsmobile eight cylinder club roadster.
 "i don't think any woman is fond of shifting gears" remarked Mrs. John son. The dislike may be accounted for by our skirts more than anything else. I have throttled my Olds down to one-half a mile an hour on high and I have yet to encounter a grade between here and San Diego that has necessitated my shifting gears-and you must admit there are few be-

the rubber in the places touched will quickly deteriorate unless the tube is soon cleaned.
 "The method of carrying the spare tube is also important It should never be carried loose in the tool box, for if carried this way It cannot help becoming injured. If folded and car ried unprotected there is danger of the tube becoming chafed at the points where the folds occur. then when these chafed places are put under pressure, there is great danger of their proving unable to stand the strain.
 Never should the tube be carried anywhere near the battery box of the car, as the acid of the battery means certain death to the tube, and no one can say just when the battery is going to spring 8 leak and splash over every thing in sight.
 Placing undersized tubes in over sized castings is another common fault fof car owners. This practice will ruin a tube within a short time"
