THE KEY METAL
Depriving Nation Of Tungsten Is to
Cripple Its Military Power.

GOVERNMENT officials recently
nabbed three men on a ship in
New York who were trying to snug
gle 200 pounds of tungsten to Sweden
and thence to Germany.
The United States district attorney
said Of the discovery of the plot: 1T
is equivalent in Importance to the
sinking of ten German submarines"
Many who read that statement
wondered, no doubt, how the stopping
of shipments of tungsten to Germany
was equal to the destruction of ten
submarines.
Because, without tungsten, Ger
many couldn't build submarines fast
enough to keep up with the loss; nei-
Their could Germans make cannon nor
any of the metal equipment of war
fast enough. Prof. Colin G. Fink,
president of the American Electro
Chemical Society, writing in the last
issue of Metallurgical and Chemical
Engineering, said;
To deprive a nation of tungsten is |
TO cripple its military power in time of |
war, and its industrial power in time
of peace. Without high speed tung- |
stem steels, machine tools could not |
be produced nor operated in sufficient |
quantities to make the Seventy five"
and its thousands OF shells, the rifle |
and machine gun and its millions of
cartridges, nor could automobiles, sub
marines nor engines be made fast
enough to replace the wastage of war.
That is the story in nutshell.
Tungsten is the key metal Of this war.
Just as iron gave the Greek and Ro-

Murdoch, the Mysterious

Murdoch and his company of mys-
tic entertainers has been secured by
the manager of the Ideal theatre of
this city for a two day engagement
commencing Monday, October 20. This
attraction comes direct to this city
from four day run at the Pinney
theatre in Boise, and is the highest
class mystery show in United States
today. The performance is far out
Of the ordinary in stage productions.
1t is divided into two separate parts.
The first part is a series of the most
battling magic and illusions ever Of
fered before in any theatre The sec
ond part of the performance styled
the Spirito Seance is wholly the most
exhibition of mind over
matter and thought projection and
thought transmission ever witnessed
Further enhancing the performance is
the dancing and singing of a bevy
Of Oriental dancers and singers with
the Murdoch show. This entertain
ment is two and one half hour show
and is one mystery after another from
curtain to curtain. You will leave
he theatre puzzled and bewildered
albeit entertained throughout. Ask
anything that bothers your
self or friends. He will answer any
md all questions pertaining to any
hing that is of interest to the ques-
ioner. Murdoch will play two open
ates in this city en- route to the lar
.er cities in the middle West and
last.

1 man armies advantage over the bar
barian hordes with their flint tipped
weapons and shields of bull hide; just
as lead later became the most inn
portant war metal when made into
| bullets; just as the invention CEN
fury later of the percussion cap made
copper the key metal of war, so tung-
stem today is an essential war metal.
Germany is said to be so short of
this precious metal that every effort
is being made to smuggle it in at
any risk or cost.
Iron is comparatively soft metal.
Mix small quantity of carbon with
molten iron and it hardens the iron
into steel Mix a small quantity of
tungsten with molten steel and it
makes the steel very much harder
and stronger.
Before tungsten came in manufac-
ture was a slow process compared
with now, because even the hardest
steel tool would heat if worked fast.
An oak wheel spoke might be turned
so fast in the lathe that the steel
tool cutting it would become red hot,
lose the temper, and set the wood
afire. Steel tools cutting iron had to
move very slowly.
But tools hardened with tungsten
cut four times and more as fast as
ordinary steel; and they heat much
more slowly. Intense heat has no
effect upon tungsten; and in the Paris
exposition of 1900 the machinists of
the world were astounded to see tools :
of tungsten hardened steel cutting =
steel so fast and deep that they de-
ivered steel chips at blue heat and
IN amazing quantities. Since then u
he machine shops of the world have :,
)een equipped with tools of tungsten NJ
steel. lie
Tungsten is not found as a native m
METAL, but in other metals, from which o
t has to be extracted in the form of
powder. The bulk of the worlds
tungsten comes from Burma, Austria
ia, South America and the United GO
states. The product of Germany and W
Austria is small. Undoubtedly, how hi
yer, Germany had made large accu-
mutations of the precious metal be- m
ore the war began, because up to v
hat time Germans controlled the ex-
ensive mines of Burma. The reserve
not so large, however, that Ger
lany can afford to overlook any OPP
ortunity to replenish it by snug III

Sour Stomach.

Eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, abstain from meat for a
few days and in most cases the sour
stomach will disappear. If it does
not, take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets Immediately after supper. Red
meats are most likely to cause sour
stomach and you may find it best to
cut them out.

DON'T NEGLECT CHILDREN'S
KIDNEY WEAKNESS
Emmett Parents Should Not Over
look the Little Ones Kidney Ailments

One of the most annoying ailments
of childhood is weak kidneys and in
ability to control the kidney secretions
Not only is this a discouraging trou-
BILE, and one that every mother is an
xious to get rid of, but it is in many
cases a signal of danger, of trouble
that will get worse constantly if not
attended to. If your child is frail
or fitful, doesn't run around or play
like other children, complains of back
ache and of feeling tired-suspect
kidney weakness. Doan's Kidney Pills
are very effective for kidney weakness
in children and are perfectly safe
Emmett parents recommend them.

NJ HIGH JUMPER.
An African Antelope That Can Cles,
More Than Twenty Feet.

An African Antelope That Can Clear
More Than Twenty Feet.
The pallah, a species of African ante
lope. is probably the greatest living
high jumper. Travellers have often as
serted that this beast could jump more
thar twenty feet high. Mr.. Cottar, an
old African hunter, saw a number Of
these antelopes leap over the tops Of
some small trees. and then he meas
ured the trees. They were fifteen feet
high.
The animals have the curious habit
Of jumping over one anothers backs,
either when frightened or when simply
playing. 1t is an ordinary sight on an
African veldt to see a herd Of these
antelope jumping over one another like
boys playing leapfrog. When frighten-
ed the first impulse Of a herd of pallah
is to rush together; then they begin
leaping. n after another, going high
into the air. clearing small trees, their
mates, other antelopes or anything else
that gets into the way. They do not
require a run before the take of" but
jump as well from a standing position
as with a running start
The lion was long supposed to make
tremendous bounds when charging his
prey, but modern sportsmen say that q
lion runs low to the ground, bounding
into the air only on his last leap. when
he expects to strike. Even such
bounds, they say, are of no great
length. Stewart Edward White says
a lion can run a hundred yards In six
seconds, which certainly Is fast enough
to catch most sorts Of game.-Youth's

CALDER OF A GUN.
What the Term Means a. Applied 70
Artillery and Small Arms-

What the Term Means a. Applied 70
Artillery and Small Arms-
Confusion as to the meaning OF the
term caliber arises chiefly from Its use
as an adjective to indicate length. as
when we say "a 90 caliber six inch
gun" The word caiiber as applied to
artillery signifies the diameter OF the
bore OF a gun measured Numerically
from face to face Of the bore, of course
somewhat larger.
A CUR, then, Of six inch caliber Is a
gun whose bore is just six inches For
convenience and because the power OF
a gun when once its bore has been de
cided upon depends so greatly upon Its
length artillerists are In the habit OF
defining the length of the gun in terms
of the caliber.
Thus the twelve inch United States
naval gun, which is forty feet In
length. is spoken of as a 40 caliber
twelve inch, the length being just for
ty times the bore. The six inch RAPID
fire gun is a trihe under twenty-five
feet In length and is therefore known
as a 90 caliber gun.
In the case of small arms the cahber

BROTHER JONATHAN"
Career Of the Patriot Who Gave Us
This Lasting Title.

This Lasting Title.
Jonathan Trumbull, the original
Brother Jonathan" was born on Oct
IL. ITO. In Lebanon, Conn. He was
graduated from Harvard college In
1727, preached . few years. then stud
led law. and at the age OF twenty
three years he was a member OF the
assembly. He was chosen lieutenant
governor In 1768 and became ex oficio
chief justice Of the superior court. In
176S he refused to take the oath en-
Joined on officers of the crown, and in
the following year he was chosen gov
ernor. He was the only colonial gov
ernor who espoused the cause of the
people in their struggle for justice and
independence.
In the absence at congress Of the
Adamses and Hancock from New Eng
land Trumbull was considered tue
Wing leader In that region. and Wash
ington always placed implicit reliance
upon his patriotism and energy. When
Washington took charge Of the Cont
mental army at Cambridge. Mass, he
found il In want OF ammunition and
other supplies. and this want contin-
ued more or less for months. Trum-
bull was then governor OF Connecticut.
On one occasion at a council OF war.
when there seemed to be no way TO
make provision against an attack by
the enemy, Washington said, I'VE
must consult Brother Jonathan on this
subject" He did so, and the governor
was successful in supplying many Of
the needs of the army.
When the army was afterward
spread over the country and difficult
ties arose 1t was a common saying
among the officers as a byword, I'VE
must consult Brother Jonathan" The
origin Of this phrase was eventually
lost sight of. and Brother Jonathan
became a title of our nationality, like
John Bull" of England. Trumbun
died in Lebanon, Conn, on Aug. ".

Great Opportu-
nifty for Local
Boy.

Believing that now is the time
when every young boy should
have military training, the ADJ
VOCATE has made special ar
rangements with one of the lead
ing military schools of the Unit
ed States to give a scholarship
to the best qualified boy from
Knox County.
The succassful applicant will
receive daily instruction and drill
under the direction of a United
States Army Officer, besides car
rying on the regular high school
work which he must pursue.
This training will not only fit
him to enter the Reserve Officers
Corps or the regular army, but
graduation certificate admits him
to practically all colleges and uni
versities, and West Point, with
out examination. Honor gradu-
ates are eligible for examination
as Second Lieutenants in the
regular army.
Applicants must be between the
ages of ID and Is and must have
progressed through the seventh
grade. Preference, however, will
be given to boys who are in the
first and second year high school.
They should be physically fit, of
the highest moral character and
should be recommended by at
least three prominent business
men or business institutions.
This military academy is one of
the most widely known and best
equipped in the United States,
having a national patronage. The
scholarship was only made avail
able to the ADVOCATE through
vacancies caused by Junior Cadets
entering Officers Reserve Train
ing Corps, and makes the cost
of board and tuition very low.
Our nations great need for mill
tary trained men in every walk
of life makes this an unusual OPP
portunity for some Knox County
boy. Application should be made
direct to this office where cata-
logues of the school and full in
formation may be had.
