American Casually
List Is Growing

Washington, Nov. 10.-The mounting
American casualty list since the first
German torpedo struck the side of n
United States patrol boat in the war
zone, had today reached 81 killed, 10
wounded and II taken prisoner or miss
ing.
The sinking, October 10, of the trans
port Antilles with loss of 43 Americans
among the 81 who perished, and the
November 3 trench raid, in which
three Americans were killed, five
wounded and twelve captured, are the
most memorable losses so far.
However, sinking of the patrol boat
alcedo, on Monday, with 21 members
of its crew, is regarded as another cost
ly naval loss.
Other transports have been hit by
German torpedoes, the Finland, on De-
tober 2s, with eight drowned and one
man unaecounted for, being the sec
ond.
The latest loss of Americans occur
red when the steamship Rochester was
torpedoed with death to four on board
and four missing.

"The food administration has avert

Answer: You can operate this
horn on three of the six cells of your
present battery. but this will require
running one special wire back from
the horn to the battery, another
connection at the battery and a hole
through the battery box for the spe-
cial wire, all of which will involve
some labor and complication. You
can. of course, wind a resistance OF
iron or German silver wire and con-
meet this in series with the horn and
button-using the IL volts. BY pro-
portioning this resistance correctly
YOU can cut down the voltage at the
horn to about what 1t was intended
to take. Everything considered we
should advise you to return this horn
to its manufacturer and have It re-
wound for 12 volts or get credit on
It for new 12-volt one.

CAR PAINTING BIZ oWNERs.


w. X. writes: The paint on my
car is in bad shape. Can an owner
paint and varnish a car so as to
produce a credItable result or should
the work be done by IA professional? e?
Answer: Whether one can or can
not depends upon his knowledge of
the materials to use and the method
of their application and upon wheth-
er one has a room in which the work
can be done, where the tempera-
ture can be kept correct and dust
can be excluded. The painting of
cars is a trade of itself with very
considerable technique but, If one
has correct detailed directions for
doing the work and follows them
closely. one can obtain fair results,

A novel use for motorcycle, dis
covered by Everett Colhurn of Los An
geles, is the collecting of specimens of
birds and ANIMALS for museums. He ear
ries gun in a specially arranged device
on his motorcycle and has acquired the
art of bagglng his game without reduc-
ing the speed of the machine.
Colbun is taxidermiSt and has
found the motorcycle indispensable in
his numerous hunts for specimens.
That the sale of Liberty bonds aids
the bicycle business is asserted by enc
enterprising dealer, according to Motor
cycle and Bicycle. He argues that if a
man rides a mile and half or two
miles four times a day on a bicycle in
stead of ON trolley he will save enough
in year to buy $50 Liberty bond
and he offers to furnish the bond, to
be paid for along with the bicycle.
Several wheels have been sold in this
way, and incidentally additional seeur-
ity has been received ON the bicycle
purchased.
The now universal practice of econ
omy should be an incentive toward BIZ
cycle sales, for the bicycle is one of
the cheapest methods of transportation
known.
First the marine corps, then the navy,
and now the army-all three are using
motorcycles in Seattle for recruiting.

report the aid of the "benzine bikes"
made indispensable to success. Seattle
has made quite record in recruiting for
the three branches of the national fight
ing service during recruiting for the
present war, and the officers in charge
in all cases agree that a large part of
the success has been due to the great
mobility Of the recruiting forces made
possible through the motorcycle.

This matter of saving wheat offers

us have liked this cereal from the very
first spoonful that found its way to
our mouths-whieh was probably in
the nursery. Then why don t you make
oatmeal more than an occasional Visit

SURVEY OF JUNK
IN INDIANA IS
BEING PLANNED
State Council of Defense
Sends Out QUESTIONABLE on
Waste Material.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. ga survey
of junk metal and waste material that
may be made of value to the govern
.ment in the manufacture OF munitions
is being taken by the Indiana State
Council of Defense.
A general bulletin addressed to
county councils has been sent out,
asking that an investigation be made
and reported promptly, showing the
quantities of scrap iron available and
the practice OF farmers and manufac.
turers who ordinarily pay little heed
to the possible economies in the right
handling OF junk.
The following questions have been
sent to the county councils Of each
county by the Indiana State council,
which in turn will turn the informa
ton over to the commercial economy
board of the Council Of National De-
tense. which is directing similar
survey over the entire country:
1. Do the farmers regularly sell
their old iron, metals. ruber and rags?
Has there been any apparent increase
in the disposal Of such junk since the
first of the year?
2. Is there still any considerable
quantity of valuable junk on the
farms?
g. Why is such material not sold
more rapidly?
4. What means would you suggest
for stimulating the sale Of waste ma.
terial or junk by the farmers?
Information as to factories:
I. Is it general practice among
the factories in your state to regularly
dispose Of their waste material for re.
use?
3 Can increased quantities of waste
material be reclaimed from factories?
3. In what way. or through what
channels, Is such waste disposed of?
Do the methods used today insure the
largest possible quantities being re-
claimed from factories?

Gary Snaps Fingers
at Lighfless Nights

GARY, Ind, Dec. 2a.-Gary is one
OF the few cities in the country that
can snap it's fingers at the fuel ad-
ministration order to observe light
less nights" in order to conserve fuel.
1t is not because the city is unpa.
- triotic. but because If it does not use
the electricity it has on hand to light
the city, the current will have to be
dissipated in the blue, thin atmos-
phere.
The peculiar condition is the direct
result, moreover, of war necessity.
The government must have steel. In
order to have steel it must have coke;
in order to have coke certain amount
of coal must be burned, and in the
coking of the coal so many by-products
are formed that it would be sheer
waste not to use everything.
When coal is cooked there are $50
by-products taken off. The most
worthless Of these is gas and the most
valuable is benzol. The gas obtained
here drives Sc engines in the power
houses, each of $4,000 horsepower, be-
sides running the blowers for the blast
furnaces and performing other tasks.
The gas engines, in turn, generate
electricity, not only all that is used
for the steel mills, in which there are
twelve blast furnaces continually turn
ing out pig iron, but also enough to
operate the cement plant, five miles
away; a bridge company's plant, some
big tin mills, lighting for the entire
city. and to run couple OF street car
lines.
The coke ovens also make enough
gas for all purposes--too much. in fact
for at each end of the steel mills
there is a four-foot exhaust pipe which
sends tongue Of flame, four feet
thick. fifty feet into the air at all
times when the ovens are running
full blast.
