A Runaway Kitty.

By Opal Gatewood, Aged IL, Box l29
Morrill,, Neb. Red Side.
One Of our neighbors gave us a
cat one day. 1t has never had any
name, as we always call it Kitty
One day we missed it, I thought per-
haps it was down in the cellar, so I
opened the door and, to be sure, there
it was eating big rat.
Another day saw it coming from
the field with a small rabbit in its
mouth, ....
One day it disappeared and about
two months after that we saw it in
town at one OF our friends house.
The only way we could imagine how
it got there was that it had gotten in
the buggy and when we stopped in
town it jumped out
We gave it to them because we
were going to move. Not long after
that we found it in the church sit
ting in chair in the choir

Shall II Be "Lanaleys7"

As a tribute to the memory of the
man who was first to discover, and
partly to apply, the rule In aero
states, to which the world Is in
debted for the modern advance In avi-
alton, it is proposed that the United
States government shall designate the
airplanes which 1t Is to send to Eu-
ropean ~battleields "Langleys." Great
er recognition than his work has re-
ceived should certainly be given to the
modest professor, who, theoretically,
at least, proved 1t possible to navigate
the air with heavier-than-air machines.
But, then, there are the Wrights. No
Injustice should be done the men VINO

practice. Would not "Langwrights" be

IDEAL METAL FOR MOTORS
German Airplanes 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
a British soldier who brought down a
German taube. 1t interested him so
much that he subjected 1t to a scien-
tifc test and discovered that 1t con-
sisted of the following: Copper, LBS
parts; tin, 92.9S parts, and anthony,
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 a substitute for silver
in the making Of all kinds of articles
for the dining table, never dreaming
that some day 1t would prove so sery-
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
1t will be ready for use. 1t is claimed
that 1t can be turned out at small ex-
pense.

Indianapolis Man Is Puzzled over Pc

Smith put his car in the garage at a
decent and respectable hour, turned off
the lights, locked the door, hung the
key on the nail in the kitchen and vent
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 1t.

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 selenium, a
metal whose electrical resistance va
ries with the intensity of the light
striking 1t. But a 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.

WATCH WEST FRONT FIGHT
Outcome May Decide Whether v.
S. Sends Troops Abroad.

Operations on the Western military
front in Europe are being watched with
unusual attention by high officials Of
this Government and by leaders in Con-
gress.
1t is beginning to dawn on these Off
cials and leaders that on the result Of
the present conflict on the western front
is likely to depend the decision OF this
Government as TO sending American
armies to France and Belgium.
If the Germans are kept moving back
toward their own boundaries, then
American troops obviously will not be
seriously needed on the western front.
but IL they should recoup and again
drive with staggering blows against the
French and English that would be a
different story.
The conviction Is growing here and Il
freely declared both in Congressional
ard official circles that II the United
States goes into the war II cannot halt
until Germany Is decisively defeated.
Under the circumstances. anything like
a successful or even menacing offensive
by Hindenburg would greatly strengthen
the movement in this country to send
forces abroad.
