speed at which it travels being estimated
at fifty miles an hour. so that about forty
hours, flying day and night, must be re-

The bird, considered as a piece Of mech
anism, IS far superior to the best flying
machine yet made. 1t remains in the all

Stockholders and Meetings.

The ordinary stakeholder in a corpo-
ration seldom attends annual meetings
or special meetings, continuing his inter
est in his property to signing proxies
and spending his dividends. The af-
fairs OF the company may go hang so far
as he is concerned, yet when trouble
develops in the company in which he is
stakeholder, or the directors do things
which may not have favorable bear
ing on the company s finances, he rushes
into the public prints with letters want
ing to know why such and such thing
was done or not done, and why the di-
rectors fail in their duty. Perhaps the
stakeholder forgets it is within his own
power to make his property a better
property by exercising his rights at an
nual and special meetings instead of per
functorily delegating his authority to
a proxy committee appointed by the
board of directors.-New York Sun.

TUNGSTEN IS
KEY META"
Of INDUSTRY

The National City Bank of New
York, has called attention to the i'm
portance of tungsten as key mater
ial in a pamphlet mailed throughout
the country.
Tungsten is the necessary element
in high speed" steel tools There are
several other rare metals with practi-
cally the same properties, but they
hardly count in practice. America gave
the world high speed" steel, the tung
stem steel, which retains it's temper
and edge even when it becomes red
hot through rapid cutting into the car
bon steel which it is machining. By
means of it a lathe and workman can
de many times the amount of work
that could be done with the hardest
tools of ordinary metal.
1t is very important material 1t is
running short even in England now,
and Sheffield workmen are searching
for it when they leave their machines
after the days work is done. Tungsten
steel is going higher in price.

Cook was given big handicap on ac-
count of not having had much prac-

one expected him to break 95 out of
100 which he did with perfect ease.
David started off in good form

something got in his eye, he dropped
to 81 in last so. Staiger was wild on
the start but finished in good form
with "a Of 100.
Barham broke 88 out of the 100, could
break SO if he would shoot enough to un-
timber his muscles. Smith was smash
ing them right in the eye, but couldn't
stand that whirlwind pace of Cooks
and dropped out of his 25, finishing
with 92 out of 100. Todd was new

week the number of missed patrons

people that he wanted their business

Tungsten is, therefore, an absolutely
essential "key" material in modern
manufacture. A nation that can shut
a competitor nation out of its supply
of tungsten can perhaps shut it out of
markets through forcing up its manu-
featuring costs.
Tungsten might also win or lose a
war between countries producing their
own munitions.
