MoToRIzE ENGINES OF WAR
How Expert Automobile Men Are Aid
Ing Uncle sam.

In the ordnance department of the
United States war department, the
need for motorization of artillery and
the handling of ammunition by means
Of motor-driven vehicles are fully ap-
preclated, and rapid strides are being
made toward what will doubtless be
the most completely motorized artil-
lery equipment of any of the allied
powers. Tsis motorization involves
not only the use of numerous trucks,
most of which will be of the four
wheel-drive type, but also the use of
numerous tractors. In this work the
Society of Automotive Engineers is
represented by its president. Closely
associated with this are the design
and construction of any apparatus
like so-called tanks. A past presi-
dent of the society is commissioned
to work upon the development of these
special engines of war. Another s. A.
e. engineer has just been assigned to
take charge Of the design, operation,
and upkeep of motor-driven ambulance
equipment.
No less than so s. A. T. members
are now located in Washington giving
active assistance and advice to the
government in the design Of the mill
tary trucks. In connection with the
aircraft program the standard U. S. A.
aviation engine has been designed by
two well-known 8. A. e. engineers.

How Binder TwIne 10 Made From
..n Palmetto Trees. ..s-sx,~s


AT last the palmetto tree Is coming
into Its own. 1t has been posing for
two-thirds Of a century In Southern
poetry and Southern oratory, and now
Florida and South Georgia and other
Southern states have turned upon IL
and said: "Now you be useful IN
well as ornamental. You shall take
the place of Mexican slsal for the
manufacture of cotton bagging ana
binding twine and, instead of being
used for broom-making to sweep igno-
BILE floors, you shall become useful to
the nation"
A newly invented machine spins the
fibre out of the palmetto leaves. They
nre stripped green from the trees, fed
into one end Of the machine and
emerge balls Of binder twine from the
other end.
In four months the stripped tree win
have another coat Of leaves which will
be cut off ut their stems and fed to
the machine, and 80 on three times

BIG FLOCKS ONLY SOLUTION
Why Idea Of "A Sheep for Every Fam
lily" Would Be Of Little Value.

The idea of "a sheep for every fam

Both manufacturers of woolen goods
and meat distributors would like to
see n larger supply of raw material.
Sheep raising, however is not like
gardening. says the Albany Journal.
To be successful 1t must be conduct
ed In the open and on II large scale
Breeding itself is large and com
plicated matter. Also, the nature of
the wool-growing animal Is unsuited
to combined commercialism and do
mesticity. The family who had n sheep
running around the dooryard would
form an attachment for the animal
that would cut the latter on the foot
ing of n family pet that could be
separated from its valuable wool only
If the Sleeps comfort were consid-
cred.
AS for the use of family sheep for
meat, such would be rare. LED like
II lamb TO the slaughter" has more
than Il literary meaning. One who
could see sturdy steer felled by a
hammer blow or an uncouth and
squealing pig slashed In the throat,
would turn from the sight of lamb,
without fight, held helpless while slow
ly bled to death. Most people like
lamb or mutton. and most people re-

HOW OCEAN CABLE DIFF
~ w FERS FROM TELE-

hOW FERs FROM TEI.E-
GRAPH LINE.-Although an
ocean cable Is in fact n telegraph
line, 1t Is so differently construct
ed that the rules for working
land lines are almost entirely dis
similar. With the first long cables,
great difficulties We're encounter
ed in sending through them n
current of electricity of sufficient
power to record the messages
rapidly. The methods for over
coming these difficulties, and in
use at present, are described as
follows:
. Keys which, when depressed,
transmit positive and negative
currents. are employed at the
sending station in connection
with the regulation battery. The
current of the battery does not
pass directly into the cable, but
into n condenser, which passes
1t into the submarine line.
This greatly increases the
force of the current used and
serves to cut off interfering
ground currents.
The instrument first employed
In receiving cablegrnms was a
rejecting galvanometer. Upon
the magnet of this instrument is
carried small curved mirror.
A lamp is placed before the mir
ror and behind n screen In which
there is vertical slit. Flashes
of light moving across this slit
as the needles moved from left
TO right, indicated to the trained
eyes Of the operator the letters
In the message being trans
mltted.
But this method of recording
messages was found to tax the
eyesight of the operator severe
ly, Il few yedrs' work often rem
dering them almost, If not total
ly blind. Recognizing the fact
that there must be something
wrong with such system, in
ventors set about repairing the
defect, which resulted In perfect
ing the syphon galvanometer,
which has all but superseded all
other receiving devices.

than one place may borrow through
more than one association.
1t is recommended that II there is
more than one association tributary to
a town that the employ the same sec

METHODISTS TO HOLD
TWO CONVENTIONS
MEETINGS IN BOISE AND TWIN
FALLS WILL MARK THE cUL-
MiNATloN OF GREAT EvANGE-
LIsTlc CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

Active steps are being taken to as
sure the success of the evangelistic
campaign conducted by the board of
foreign missions of the Methodist
Episcopal church throughout the state
of Idaho. Five men who have seen
service in South America, China, ia
pan, the East Indies and Africa, are
now in the state preparing the
churches for the elimination of the
campaign in the great central conven-
tions to be held in Boise, April Is to
IT and in Twin Falls, April Is and 10.
The leaders of the educational, hos
pital and evangelistic work from all
over the world will be at these two
registered conventions. Bishop Rich
ard I. Cooke is expected for the Sun
day service in the First Methodist
church in this city. Before becoming
bishop, Mr.. Cooke was the book editor
of the publishing houses Of the church
and was personally author OF many
books in church law.
Rev. James M. Taylor, d. D., of
New York, is another of the famed or
ators who will take part in the two
conventions. He Is the leader of the
movement and is famous not only for
his southern humor, but for his grip
upon the problems of South America,
over which he has travelled a number
of times, giving lectures and taking
pictures. His illustrated lecture on
the Continent of Opportunity" has
commanded the attention of large au-
diences wherever heard.
The joint session of the official
boards of various Methodist churches
in the city resulted in committees be-
ing appointed to plan the details for
the Boise convention. It is planned
to make the convention one of the
most notable held in Boise in many
years.
The complete list of speakers and
their subjects will be published later
Among the other speakers who will
