IDEAL METAL FOR MOTORS
Secret of Material Which Has Made
German AirpIanes Superior to 9th.
ers Has Been Discovered.

The United States government has
learned that the success of the Ger
man airplanes is largely attributable
to what is known as kaiser zinn metal,
which is used for the motors. A
piece of this metal was picked up by
, q British soldier who brought down q
German taube. It interested him so
much that he subjected it to scien-
tifc test and discovered that it con-
sisted Of the following: Copper, l.5S
parts; tin, 929S parts, and antimony,
5.44 parts.
This alloy, which is somewhat akin
to Britannia metal, was discovered by
the Germans about so years ago. They
first used it as substitute for silver
in the making Of all kinds of articles
for the dining table, never dreaming
that some day it would prove so serV"
iceable in military affairs. 1t Is as
light as aluminium, has great tensile
strength and unusual resisting power.
A prominent American manufactures
Of motors has succeeded in duplicating
this alloy perfectly, and in a short
time several thousand motors made OF
it will be ready for use. 1t is claimed
that it can be turned out at small eX-
penSe.

MAY HAVE BEEN INDIGESTION
indianapolis Man Is Puzzled Over Pc
culiar Action of Hitherto Well.
Behaved Automobile.

The accustomed peace and quiet in
the village Of Woodruff Place was
harshly broken late the other evening
by q disturbance that caused A. L.
Smith, living in the East drive, to won
der what particular brand of spooks
finds lodgment in the innards of motor
cars, says the indianapolis News.
Smith put his car in the garage at
decent and respectable hour, turned off
the lights, locked the door, hung the
key on the nail in the kitchen and went
to bed. But that motor car did not
seem to be fully satisfied. Perhaps
the heat and the stuffy garage had
something to do with it.
Whatever the nature Of the bug un-
der it's bonnet, the troubled soul Of
the automobile found voice along
about midnight. From the dark re-
cesses of the garage rose a quavering
howl that put to shame all roosters
within half a mile. Slumbering neigh
bors turned over, muttered "What the
deuce?" or other synonymous classical
references, and peered out of the
bathroom windows, while Smith, trust
ty revolver in one hand and flashlight
in the other, padded cautiously garage
ward. Peering within, nothing ap-
peared but the car still yelled its head
off. Advancing boldly, he commanded,
"See here, now, that's enough Of this
nonsense" and stepped on the running
board, at which the car gave final
yelp and subsidized. "Now somebody
tell me what started it," said Smith
next morning, at the caucus of neigh
bors in the alley. Sounded mighty
Spoooky, anyway"

Nav Have Solved Old Problem.

A German scientist claims to have
solved the problem Of transmitting
photographs under the ocean by cable.
His process, if successful, represents
the solution Of an old problem. Photo
graphs have long been transmissible
by telegraph by the use Of seleniun,
metal whose electrical resistance va
ries with the intensity Of the light
striking it. But similar process for
cable work has never been perfected
hitherto, because of the extreme feeble
ness Of the electric current that must
pass through thousands Of miles of
wire without q relay. The new process
is said to make use Of the selenium
principle and an elaborate system of
relays at each end.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

"LOve or Justiee?" is the name or the new Triangle-Ince play starring Louise Glaum at the Orpheo theatre today. It was written by Lambert Hillyer and produced under the SUI pervision of Thomas H. Ince.
 The story deals with the under world and holds to view two charac- ters who enact the big moments of their lives while swayed by an over mastering passion.
 Louise Glaum as Man. leader of Bohemia. covets that which she has not within herself-culture and re- finement. When newcomer to her little, world arrives who possesses these things, her sudden savage inter- est causes eyes that have smouldered for years to flash. and the only real affection that sne has ever known is awakened. The Ince siren is said to have proved herself as admirably suited to this role as to that of Hon. ore Zonlay in Sweetheart of the Doomed.'
 Charles Gum as the lawyer who sinks to the lowest depths by the drug route and Jack Richardson as Paul Keeley. the leader of the gang of crooks, ably support Miss Glaunl in this drama. Walter Edwards di- rected the production.

Today Marguerite Clark in Wild flower" appears at her very best and is most charming and fascinating. Those who saw her in Goose Girl'' and Miss George Washington and "The AmaZons' know how charming 2 she can be, but "Wildflower" suits her talents even better than "The AmaZOns," and she will win much ad miration for her splendid work in this picture. The story deals with the love of two brothers for the little woodland nymph. Lefty, who is swept off her feet by the tempestuous love making of the younger brother, with whom she elopes but the older brother finds her and takes her away and protects her from his brcther's designs and then gradually falls in love with her and forces her to see that his is the greater and finer love of the two.

 Taylor is known as very hard working negro, having worked for some time for the Standard Lumber company of this city. several months ago Taylor was compelled to lay off working on account of rheumatism which confined him to his home for some time. He then resumed work at the Standard mill.
 Before Taylor took sick he carried insurance on his household goods to the amount of S300.0O which would easily have replaced his loss, but during his sickness he get behind ! and let his insurance drop thus caus- ing him to call upon the Associated Charities for assistance, which was very gladly given.
