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

The engine Of your motor car
weighs from 500 to 1900 pounds, or
more. 1t will average from 20 to 30
horsepower at 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 alr-cooled engines for short
distance, fast scouting whose en-
gines weigh less than pound and
three-quartcrs per horsepower. They
must be quite literally, as an old ad-
vertiscment used to say, "built like a
watch.'
AT present hlgh-pOwered airplane
engine Of the best type-say 120 to
100 horsepower--cnnnot 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 nirplancs, as in England'S pro-
gram, would easily equal, for total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangars and repairs and wustagc,
more than half Il billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age lif" of only about two or three
hundred hours Of active servicc-sny
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplancs on
battle line you have to be able to
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkablc.
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.

How a Diamond Cuts Glass,

It has been ascertained by series
of experiments that Il diamond does
not cut the glass file-fashion, but forces
the particles apart, so that a continu-
Gus crack Is formed along the line of
the intended cut. The crack once be-
gun, very small force is necessary to
carry It through the glass, and thus
the piece is easily broken off. The
superficial crack or cut need not be
deep; depth, according to fine meas
urements, Of 200th part Of one inch is
quite sufficient to accomplish the pur-
pose, so that the application of much
force In using the diamond only wears
out the gem without doing the work
any better. Numerous stones, such as
quartz and other minerals, when
ground into proper form, will cut glass
like diamond, but are not so valuable
for that purpose, lacking the requisite
hardness and soon losing the sharp
edge necessary to make the operation
a success.

JOYS OF HONEYMOON DAYS
as Couple Grows Old, tie Memory
Helps to Brighten the Journey
tho Rest of the Way

Honeymoons have been the fashion
SO long their origin seems enshrouded
IN the mists of antiquity.
just who ever started the first hon
eymoon Is not known, but Its incep-
tion was without doubt happy one.
June being the accepted month for
weddings, naturally 1t is the time when
most honeymoOns are taken.
1t is the grand climax of the we'd
dings. The bride has been looking for
ward to 1t for months, maybe for
years.
After the ceremony (under which
the poor little bride has almost brok-
on down through the nervous strain
and the bridegroom has felt about as
lively and important as the only male
IN the audience of national suffra-
gctte meeting) after the congratulate
tory expressions from friends and rel
ntivcs; after the wedding supper; af-
ter the rice and old shoes have been
thrown-comcs the wedding trip.
On the train comes the prctcnse of
1ooling conductor, passengers and por-
ter; that they are really not newly
married couple must be assumed.
That stunt has been pulled by every
body who ever got married and yet no.
body ever got away with it.
Anybody can spot bride and bride
groom anywhere and any time.
They show 1t as plainly as if they
wore tag upon which in large letters
was printed the words. 1--WE Are New
iy Mnrried-lIave n Heart"
Honeymoons are the happiest times
OF the married state. Can't you look
back across the years and see yourself
when you had the heavy role in that
little drama of your life? Can't you
see again the sweet little star who
played opposite you, SO timidly, so
trustingly, as she kept one eye on her
suitcase and the other on your pocket
book?
Ah, Time, you are n heartless old
thief. You steal away our years of
dew-kissed happiness; you rub out the
rose bloom Of youth and you rub in the
wrinkles, but you can't reach the hui
man heart, you old crook--thank God

you can't tou,n tnut, or you would age
that too.
The heart may remain young for
ever, for we are only as old as we feel.
All you can do Is whlten the hair and
rumple the skin, bend the back and
make slow the step, but when couple
love each other, their hearts often turn
back to the honeymoon days and 1t
helps brighten the journey the rest Of
the way.

Protest Of Men Who Had Given Up

ing Draft Age For Enlisted Men.
TBy E. G.. Doughertyl

washington, Nov. 16.-The official
announcement Of Secretary Of War
Baker that all student officers commits
stoned at the training camps at Fort
Smelling and elsewhere will be called
into active service at once with pay
will be good news to Iowans now at
tending the second Fort Smelling Of
iCer's training camp.
'. was announced last week tisat
there would be places on the active
| list for only one-third or one-half OF
the $4,000 men in training camps. The
others to be commissioned, but held on
non-pay inactive list until places
| were found for them.
There was a widespread protest
against this plan. The friends of the
student officers believed that the gov
eminent could afford to put these
men on the payroll, even If they We're
not Immediately assigned TO duty, bet
ter than the men themselves, who hao
given up jobs to enter camps and
could not afford to be idle for months
or seek new jobs.
Secretary Baker was unable to say
just what duties would be given the
surplus officers. There are places on
the active list Of the line for only about
one third the men at Fort Smelling.
The other two-thrds may be distri-
huted for courses Of instruction among
environments at Des Moines, Battle
Creek and Rockford, while some Of the
number may be assigned to courses

and signal officers camps
Draft Age Not Raised
A general impression has got abroad
in the west mat the government has
decided TO extend the draft registra-
ton age. and that men above the draft
age of 81 for the first draft will be re-
quired TO register for the second draft
call.
Just how this impression got abroad
is not clear. There is an amendment
proposed by the association for univer-
sal military training which would
cause the registration Of men from 10
to 81, the men from 10 to 20, below
the draft age to be sent to training
camp, but not to be called to active
duty until they reached the age Of 81.
| There is another amendment suggested
| by Congressman Kahn to change the
draft age TO 10 to 80, instead Of 81 and
81 as at present.
Secretary Baker has come out Off
cially in opposition TO the Kahn
amendment to raise the draft age. He
has not given an expression on the
amendment designed to put men of 10
and 20 in training, but he is not be-
| leved to favor.
1t is strongly indicated here that
President Wilson and Secretary Baker
will oppose TO the utmost of their
strength any effort to increase the
draft age to 35, or above the present
| age limit, as they believe enough men
can be found within those ages to
give the United States an army up to
the limit Of 100000, the largest num-
Der yet discussed.
