T0B0GGAM FOR GERMS LATEST
Health Officer Plans to CircumVent
Bacteria Which Dance on Water
and Wait for Victims.

A germ toboggan is the big fea-
ture Of a perfected type of drinking
fountain designed by DR.. H. A.
Whitaker of the sanitation division
of the state board Of health, follow
ing a recent discovery that in some
types of fountains the germs dance
on the water and wait for victims,
says the st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
After eastern investigators an
nounced their findings, Doctor Whit
taker began experiments on " foun-
tains at the University of Minnesota.
These disclosed that all of the Is diff
ferent types were improperly con-
structed to prevent contamination by
the consumer and that 80 per cent
were infected.
Then Doctor Whitaker designed
a fountain which throws a slanting
jet Of water and makes it impossible
for the germs to- dance as on the
vertical jets.
One of the perfected fountains was
built and installed and the results
have been entirely satisfactory.

SNAILs AID THE WAR FLIERS
Apparently Useless Creatures Show
Aviators When Machines Are Out
of Balance.

The variety of material used in
modern war is simply extraordinary.
A large price was paid last summer
by the French for dried walnut
leaves. 1t is said that these are used
for staining the faces and hands Of
sharpshooters so as to darken thei1
compilations.
White mice used to be kept in sub
marines to give timely notice of the
escape of injurious gases. 1t appears
that there is now demand for snails
for the French aircraft service. These
apparently useless creatures have, it
seems, a most amazing sense of bal
ance. They know instantly when one
side or the other of an airplane is
higher or lower than the opposite
side, and Immediately begin climb
ing up the incline so caused.
A pilot, therefore, has only to
place a. few snails on the fuselage of
his machine, in front of him, and
can then get an indication of his bal
ance with minimum of trouble. It
should be added that, when in a
cloud, it is next to impossible to
judge of the tilt Of plane without
some special telltale.

Joy Ride Less And
Save Your Gasoline

New York, Aug. 2-As
patriotic measure, pleasure rid
ing in automobiles-the favorite
holiday pastime of millions of
Amerlcans-will have to be cur
tailed, If not abandoned.
A shortage of gasoline is
threatened and likewise short
age of crude oil from which gas
oline is extracted. The govern
ment will need for it's own uses
and that of our allies all the
crude oil il can obtain, and pleas
ure riding is a useless wastage
of both gasoline and crude oil.
This situation was revealed in
a statement made public by A.
C. Bedford, chairman of the
Committee on Petroleum of the
Advisory Council of the Council
of National Defense, as we'll as
president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey.
Bedford's statement, issued
off cially from the governmental
Office says in part:1
This country is producing
crude oil at the rate of about
300 0OC 900 barrels a year, it is
using it at the rate of 335, ,0OO,0 900
barrels a year. The amount of
crude oil in storage, all grades,
May /, 1917, was l65, ,688,797 bar
rels. The country is absorbing
the entire current production
and drawing very rapidly upon
it's reserve supplies.
"The rapid development of the
automobile IS largely responsible
for present conditions. In 1910
there we're 100000 automobiles
in use IN the United States; in
1916 the number was 2,35O,0OO.
Today there are more than
1000, 900 cars, demanding over
4O,OOO,OOO barrels of gasoline
year. Other uses of gasoline
and oil are expanding upon an
enormous scale.

Big Fair And Race Meet
To Be Held At Liberal

The Southwest Fair Associa.
ton of Liberal is to give Race
Meet and Motor Show on the
regular fall Fair Dates this year.
This promises to be one of the
big events of the southwest for
the fall season.
To strengthen the program
over the program of former
years the business men of Lib
eral have raised $1,000, to be US
ed in furnishing free open air
amusem ents for the patrons of
this show.
One of the features contracted
for is Wild West or Frontier
exhibition. This performance
will take place in front of the
Grand Stand.
Another big feature will be
balloon ascension every day by
an employee of the Thompson
Bros. Balloon Mfg. Co. of Aurora
III. large manufacturing com.
pany and their performers are
doing some very clever work in
the balloon line. One big feature
of this act is that they make
three parachute drops from one
balloon. The operator takes
up with him, three parachutes,
and drops first from the balloon
and then from one parachute to
the next until three drops have
been made.
The Fair Assn. has also en-
gagged the services of a slack
wire performer of wide reputa.
tion. He does some very daring
stunts on wire.
The racing program this year
will be very interesting, as the
purses for the races amount to
nearly $4,000, and horses are be-
ing entered from several differ
ent states in these races.
They will have Motor Cycle
races every day of the meeting
and a big free for all auto race
on the last day.
1t looks like Liberal would |
have three big days, and the
editor hopes to take in some of
these days.

TWENTY THOUSAND
A|RPLANES COMING
EMENSE FLEET OF AIRCRAFT TO
BE BUILT AND SCHOOLS FOR
FLYING ESTABLISHED.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Report is Civ
en- out by the government today that
!, twenty thousand airplanes will be
manufactured at once for the Ameri
can fighting forces in Europe.
1t was further authorized that these
planes and their motors are to be
manufactured. under the estimate ex.
penditure contained in the $500, ,00O
600 aviation bill
TWenty-four government schools for
flying will also be established immedi
ately to prepare thousands of young
Americans for this branch of the ma.
tior's military service.
Many of the American airplanes are
to be built abroad, where practical
facilities and more direct application
can be obtained.
The thousands of young men in this
country who have their hearts set
on air fighting will likely be accom-.
modate in the near future.
The participation of Major General
GOethals in the manufacture of air
planes is also stimulant, principally
because the major has made an early
and thorough success of gigantic un
dertakings in the past

SPLENDID TRIBUTE
BY GREAT ITALIAN
NEW AMERICAN ARMY is HIGHLY
PRAISED IN ITALY BY
HISTORIAN.

Milan, Italy, Oct. America is
declared Guglielmo Ferrero, the noted
Italian historian, in the statement
published by the Secolc.
"The United States" asserted Sig
nor Ferrero, are preparing the new
American army to defend their most
sacred interests, to prevent Europe
from falling under hegemony which
would menace the liberty Of the world
and in order to have at the peace con.
ference the necessary authority to
summon the great states of Europe to
lay down their arms.
General disarmament after this
war will be necessity if the states
of Europe do not wish to rush into
barbarism and anarchy America will
rapidly create a vast army because
she could not, without very grave
danger to herself and to the equilib.
rum of the Who'll world, neglect to
make d cOunlerpOlSo IN the new con
t:nent to the monstrous development
of armaments in the old.
"The United States were never dom
mated either by militarism or imper-
ialism. They have, indeed, been gov
erned for five years by that one OF
the two American parties which is the
more averse from imperialism and
militarism. To submit to conscrip-
ton and to be sent to fight in Europe
is for the Americans a much greater
sacrifice than that OF any other of the
peoples of the entente had to make
for the defense Of its frontiers and it's
very existence"
