Polls.

With a young woman leading the
orchestra. and plenty Of chorus girls on
the stage, Pretty Baby" lived up to
its name at Polls last night, providing
fun and music until the curtain went
down. 1t Is no disrespect to the show
to call 1t a ''hodgepodge." since Jimmie
Hodges dispenses his infectious and clean
humor throughout the many scenes and
songs. and provides the background"
around which this none too closely
knit musical play is built.
Elmer Coudy proved the big find" OF
the show, dividing the honors Of the
second act with Hodges. Coudy. in black
face, presented delicious dissertation
on courtship from the days Of Adam and
Eve even unto the present, put over
with humorous reserve, which marked
him an artist of black face comedy. His
singing of That's Why Never Married"
the most humorous and tuneful song of
the show. disclosed a pleasing and capable
voice. 1t would seem that Mr.. Coudy is
Baby pretty soon.
There Is absolutely no plot to the show,
and when one gets the spirit of the en-
tertainment he Is glad there Is none.
II there ever was a show that would not
tire the most tired of tired business
men, Pretty Baby" ia it. With the ex-
ception of wholly unnecessary song in
the first act last night, there Is not a
word or action in the play that could
offend the most serious.

For pupils above the first grade it is six hours and on Friday afternoons may be shortened to five and one-ha1f.
 On a school day when teachers meeting comes in the afternoon some arrangement should be made for keep ing the school in session for at least four hours; in which case the at tendance should be recorded in the register as for a whole day of two sessions.

BODY OF FAMOUS
 GERMAN AIRMAN FOUND
Lieut.. Vosse, Who Was Killed Sept. 2
 in a Spectacular Combat.

British Headquarters in France and Belgium, Monday, Oct. 1-(By The Associated Press).-The body of the famous German airman, Lieutenant German official communication as missing, has been found within the British lines, and British airmen al ready have dropped messages behind the German front giving notification of his death.
 vosse was killed Sept 23 while en- gagged in spectacular combat with a British airman. He died fighting a peculiar coincidence that the famous French airman, Captain Guynemer lost his life about the same time in battle over enemy territory and was reported missing until the Germans found and identified his body.
 The opponent of Vosse is one of the most brilliant British aviators, who for the purposes of this narrative may be referred to as Brown-not his real name. Here is the story:
 number of British planes were patrolling on the 23d flying at a height of 1000 feet, when one of them was attacked by a German red-nosed Alba tross and a triplane. It appeared later that Nosse: was the pilot of the tri- plane. Two other planes rushed up and engaged these two, with third enemy scout who appeared on the scene. About II other enemy air planes were waiting ar distance to join in the fray, but did not attack, as some 10 British planes were cir cling about keeping them off.
 The third enemy scout. who had joined in the combat vanished but the Albatross and the triplane fought in wonderful form. Brown sir rgled out the triplane and hard fight ensued. Brown got in a number of good bursts from his machine gun and several times nad to change drums on the gun, so furiOusiy was he firing.
 For long time the two opponents circled, dived and manouvred for ro- sition. and so. close were they at times that only a few inches separated their wings. Eventually Brown got a little above Vosse and made for the tri- plane. the British airman working his m chine gun stead dilv all the time
 Vosse passed Browns right wing by inches and dived. Then the British airman wheeled into position and ob- served the German gliding westward with his engine shut off. He dived again and got good shot at his op- ponent: then followed this with a heavy burst from his gun, and Vosse did slight right hand turn and con tinued to go down until he disappear ed.
 This ended the adventure so far as Brown was concerned He flew away not knowing who his opponent had been or what had become of him. Later the shattered machine was found and the body identified.

CAN TRAVEL LIGHT
ON LINCOLN HIGHWAY

Motorists contemplating an extend
ed drive over the Lincoln highway dur
ing the 1917 season, can start their
trips unburdened with cumbersome
extra equipment for themselves or
their cars, travelling with the assur-
ance that anything they need may be
obtained at convenient stops along the
way.
This is welcome news to those
whose experience in long distance mo-
toring, gained in earlier days, led to
the conviction that it was a wise pro-
vision to carry everything wanted in
the car, due to the uncertainty Of be-
ing able to secure it at any point far
distant from the starting point.
Heavy traffic on the Lincoln highway
has remedied this condition. Merch-
ants in every line along the way have
been quick to realize the advantages
of providing for the tourists needs and
anticipate all demands by carrying an
up tC- the minute and wide range OF
the best of all supplies.
With the automobile in good condi-
ton, no special preparation need be
made for the cross country journey
over the Lincoln highway, save the
purchase of a couple of extra tires, a
tow line, and such things as should al
ways be carried on any tour.

also capture substantial award in

LITTLE ATTENTION
TO COOLING SYSTEM

Motorists pay too little attention to
their water cooling system nowadays
with the result that the motor becomes
short Lived. The water cooling sys-
tenn of a car was designed and in
stalled to give the maximum power
of which 1t is capable, and to use the
minimum amount of gasoline and oil
at a certain temperature.
The rust and corrosion which ac-
cumulates on the walls of the water
jackets and in the radiator forms an
insulation which keeps the heat i'll
cooled surface of the radiator from
coming In contact with the water.
thereby causing the engine to over
heat. This condition means that more
oil Is used, mileage is reduced and
bearings begin to show wear. This
wear, in the form Of fine dust, is taken
up by the oil and instead Of lubricat-
ing to it's full extent 1t tends to has
ten the wear. The final result Is that
the motor has a breakdown and de-
spite an entire overhauling, if the rust
and corrosion is not cleaned out, the
evil still exists and the same process
Of trouble will be repeated.
A number of chemists have sought
a remedy for the prevention of rust
forming in radiators and they have
finally succeeded in their efforts and
have brought out non coroso after, eX-
haustive tests. The preparation is in
the form of small soluble tablets to
be dropped into the radiator after
draining and refilling with clean
water. The action of the compound
is the same winter and summer and it
is not affected by anti-freezing solu-
tons. 1t is a rust preventive-not
rust remover and it will not injure
metal or rubber fabrics.

self, vet which is very important in
the building of an automobile motor,
is the balancing of flywheels, clutch
cones and other parts of a motor car
requiring an even distribution of
weight.
One of the very interesting features
of automobile construction at the

alton of balancing flywheels and clutch
cones. Peculiarly the trueing of the

men.
Weights are then mounted on the
gears to determine how much over
weight is the marked point. After
sufficient weight has been added to
the lighter side to properly balance
the wheel, drill, exactly the size of
the weights, takes out the required
amount to properly balance the fly
wheel. Thus, if two weights have been
used to equalize the weight of the
wheel. two holes are drilled on the
heavier side; if three weights, three
holes, and SO on.
Clutch cones, however, are balanced
by plugging the lighter side with lead
in manner similar to the balancing of
flywheels.
