NEED OF AUSTRALIA
Grain of Little Value Without Trans
portation, as Little Of 1t Is Used
at Home.

"Australia's food production this
year will average normal; 1t Is neither
unusually heavy nor light, but there
Is going to be considerable difficulty
in handling the crops, because there
are no facilities for transportation"
said II. w. Stephens, a merchant Of
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. 1.-THE greatest need of Aus
tralia today is transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided 1t is almost
useless for the farmers to complete
their harvesting. as it requires only
small percentage of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and 1t is still going
overseas, but in not sufficient quantity,
for England needs wheat now as never
before. But without ships it is impos-
sible for US to send our wheat
abroad.
1.-THE wheat crop of Australia was
damaged to some extent by mice, and
until the farmers Learned how to COM
bat this pest 1t threatened to become
a serious menace. The farmers used
poison, water, gas and other means
and finally got rid of them"

ENGINE BUILT LIKE A WATCH
Fast, Modern AirpIane May Readily
Cost From $4,000 to $4,000 and
Wears Out Quickly.

The engine of your motor car
weighs from 500 to 1900 pounds, or
more. 1t will average from 20 to 80
horsepower e. the lowest, says a
writer in Golfers. The new airplane
engines run less than three pounds per
horsepower and the finest Of them two
pounds or less. Airplanes have been
built with air-cooled engines for short
distance, fast scouting whose en-
gines weigh less than a pound and
three-quarters per horsepower. They
must be quite literally, as an old ad-
vcrtisement used to say, built like a
watch"
At present a high-powered airplane
engine Of the best type-say 120 to
$50 horsepower-cannot be purchased
for much less than $4,000. And the
whole airplane, big one, may readily
cost $4,000 to $4,000. You can read
lily see why the construction of only
$4,000 airplanes, as in Englands pro-
gram, would easily equal, for a total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wastage,
more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age life of only about two or three
hundred hours of active service-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
a battle line you have to be able to
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkabIe.
That is why warfare in the air for any
length of time would bankrupt the
world. And that, in turn, is why war
fare in the air means the end of all
warfare.

comrades cry for help, and without

river and swan to the young mans
rescue. bringing him safely ashore.
This is The stun our Annapolis boys
are made Of We knew we would
hear from them sooner or later, but
we did not expect TO hear of their
heroism and bravery in less than a
week after they had left home.
Sergeant Strange's noble act not

are proud of one of our own boys.
