M. P. Stamm Suggests Changes in Proposed
City Charter Which VIII Make Il Entirely
Satisfactory to Those Who Oppose 1t
Editor Evening Herald

Editor Evening Herald o
II is apparent that the principal objection by the morning paper
to our proposed city charter is on account of the words used by the
committee in framing II, The editor of the Journal conarues these
phrases as the exclusive property of the Socialist party, and his argu.
ment seems to be that if any man or group of men use them for some
other p~urpose-why, that, perforce, makes them Socialists.
Now, there is nothing nicer than harmony in a little community
such as ours and to make the vote for the charter practically unani-
nous let the committee get together and change, at least, the one
word that seems to ranlle most in the bosoms of the opposition. Cut
out that word Recall and substitute discharge bounce, -
fired " some other of the numerous phrases that signify that
Jones is TO be separated from his meal ticket
OF course, everyone admits that the city must have some quick
way of getting rid of the services of an undesirable employe-Mr.
McMillen has made that plain-and by making the slight changes /
suggest there can be no possible objection to Albuquerque taking
this forward step
II one is possessed with a desire TO shake a rag before the male
bovine and still wishes to avoid a scrap, prudence would suggest that
the color of the rag be brown, black, yellow, green, or any other
than red.
Trusting my suggestions will be speedily carried out by the com.

AIRSHIP IN BIBLE PLANS
Gotham Genius Builds Flying Craft
on Designs Of Prophet
Ezekiel

Taking his plans and specifications
from the Old Testament and the
vision Of the prophet Ezekiel. first and
tenth chapters, A. NiAot has built an
airship which he is now exhibiting.
Through this Mr.. Nilot attempts to
prove that the first flying machine
dates back $500 years. He has pre-
pared q mode. of the airship con-
ceived by Ezekiel, which stands about
ten feet high, and in which he found
all the parts Of the machine described
In the vision. He even suggests that
the burning Goals taken from be-
tween the wheels and thrown over
the city" implies prophecy of air
craft as a means of destruction. The
model was made by Mr.. Nifot, who
is official interpreter in the city bu-
reau Of fire investigation.
The Nifot model has all the essen
tials of a hot-air balloon, from which
evolved our present-day dirigiblcs, and
more. for it has a car o. carriage
capable of moving along the ground
in any direction without turning, this
according to the Biblical 'escription
of the wheels that went In their four
directions and turned not when they
went"

THIS TOY AIDED THE WORLD
Designed as Christmas Present II
Has Revolutionized Com

Tinkering in his machine shop to
design novel Christmas present for
one of his boys, Elmer A. Sperry, a
few years back, stumbled onto half
dozen new applications OF what had
previously been regarded as a merely
interesting mechanical curiosity-the
gyroscope.
Now his inventions will keep a ship
from rocking and the passengers from
seasickness; an airship from air pock-
cts, and furnish the only true COM
pass that the mariner, guide or air
pilot knows, Making the gun deck of
battleship as steady gun mount as
may be had on land, the gyroscope
eventually will double the efficiency
of the navy, it is said. Anything that
needs stability, excluding possible
Central American governments and
street cars, needs a gyroscope, Mr..
Sperry told Detroit audience.
The use OF submarines and airships
has been made possible largely
through the gyroscope. Before the
stabilizers were put aboard the under
sea boats, because of their cigar-like
shape, rolled SO frightfully that no
man could live in them. With one Of
the little tops" aboard the Deutsch-
land can ride as evenly as mammoth
liner on a smooth sea. The principal
advantage to airships has been in the
gyroscope compass, which possesses
the advantage Of always pointing
north. An ordinary magnetic COM
pass, in practical use under stress
points anywhere from northwest to
northeast--and sometimes southeast.

The attitude Of conservative banks

But the Smith Motor Truck eor-
poration, manufacturers of the famous
Smith Form-a-Truck attachment, has
broken so many records in the matter
of business development and achieves
ment during the initial year of it'd
growth that the stand taken by tho
most prominent banking connections
in New York City in regard to the
future developments of the Smith Mos

added indication of the remarkable
strength developed by this organiza-
ton in such short time.
Not only has the Smith Motor

on the job in hurry, but even trans
ports few pieces of extra equipment
The machines clean up their work and
are Immediately ready for another
job. Can you imagine our using
horses on such contracts?
Motor truck delivery of material
and equipment from our Pittsburgh
warehouses and shops to. Jobs any
where within radius of eighteen to
twenty-five miles is more quickly and
economically accomplished than by
any other method. just the other
day one of our contracts in Bentley
vile, thirty-fve miles from Pitts
burgh, required the immediate deliv-
cry of a concrete mixer to, replace
one which had failed. Shipment by
rail would have been a matter of
days; horse transportation was not
to be considered. You can imagine
the mental relief afforded the fore
man when motor truck No. 3, which
left Pittsburgh at noon on the day
of the accident, pulled up to the job at
5 o'clock in the afternoon with a new
machine.
One Instance.
Last month we were starting a
hurry-up job at Harmarville, which
Is twenty-five miles from here, and
discovered at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing that, although we had a house
tor oux workmen, there were no beds,
stoves or cooking utensils available.
Pretty much worried at the prospects
of a cold night without food the job
foreman called in for help. One of
the old 1913 Packards was piled high
with the necessary equipment and be-
fore 3 o'clock In the afternoon pulled
into camp. How would we do that
without motor truck?
I'VE had a breakdown at Charlton
sometime ago which meant replacing
a centrifugal pump. The only imme-
,diately available pump was here In
Pittsburgh, and it could not be
shipped by express because of its size
and the delay in getting 1t out of
the car. The ever-ready motor truck
proved to be our only salvation.
Motor trucks are as essential in
our business as almost any other
piece Of equipment. Even if the cost
of operation were greater than that
Of the horses they replace, this time
saving ability would make them in
dispensable."
