YOUNG SOLDIERS STEAL FORD
Roy Cyrus and Bert Wells, Members
of Co. d, are in Jail Charged With
Stealing J. b. Weber's Car.

Roy Cyrus and Bert Wells, young
men about % years old and members
of Co. d, North Dakota National
Guard, were arrested late this after
noon and placed in Jail by Chief of
Police Dougherty, charged with steal
ing a new Ford car from j. B. Weber

band concert was in progress. Weber
had left his car standing on Second
street S. F., where it was stolen.
The car was driven to the home of
Roy Cyrus father, VIM. Cyrus, who
lives nine miles north of Burlington,
where it is said the car was sold to
the father for $175, young Wells ne
gotiating the transaction. The young
men must have returned to Minot the
same night, reporting to their COM
pany in the morning.
Chief Dougherty learned Of the
cars location this afternoon and with
in three hours had returned to Minot
with it. 1t appears that Cyrus had
done some Dragging about what a
cheap car he got and a neighbor grow
ing suspicious, notified the police.
The young men have confessed to
the theft of a Mohall car in Minot
about a month ago. They drove the
car to White Earth and when the tires
went down, abandoned the machine in
the brush. The car was later found
and returned to the owner.
Young Cyrus is said to be regu-
lar young criminal. He was once an
inmate Of the reform school at Red
Wing, Mimi, and when with Co. D on
! the border last summer was frequent
ly in the guard house.

Vanishing Soles of Boots

In view Of the shortage Of leather and
its consequent increase in price, any de-
vice or process is welcome which will
lengthen the life Of our footwear. In this
connection it cannot be too widely known
that vanishing the soles of boots and
shoes makes them wear four or five times
as long as they would do without this
treatment. An inferior type Of copal var
nish is quite good enough for the purpose,
and half a pint, costing, with suitable
brush, about a shilling, should keep one
persons boots treated for year or more.
The leather must be quite dry and bare
when the varnish is applied. New boots
should therefore be worn for day before
treatment, so as to remove the black var
nish from the soles. The operation is car
ried out by brushing on the varnish, at in
tervals of, say, half an hour, until the
leather will not soak up any more. This
condition may be recognized from the sur
face remaining shiny all over instead of
becoming dull in places. After being hung
up TO dry for about twelve hours, the boots
are ready for wear.
The usual plan is TO wear out the soles
efter one vanishing, but an even longer
life can be assured by treating them once
a month. Those who have never tried var
nish on the soles of their boots will be as
tonished at the length Of time they wear
when so treated; while last, but not least,
the varnish renders them waterproof

and the vertical bearing strength OF the pile
will be but slightly diminished
I'm many concrete structures the members
are considerably oyerrenforced. This is es-
pecially true Of piles. Every effort should be
made 10 diminish the amount Of reinforcing,
and If at ali possible a design should be
adopted which eliminates the metal entirely
for the work above water. Perhaps gravity
sections and massive work will cost more in
the first place, but the additional expenditure
will ultimately prove an economy unless spe-
cial precautions are taken to insure the rein
forcing against corrosion. Frequently, a
combination Of reinforced concrete below the
water line with plain section above will
prove best.
"If the reinforcing is made non-corrosiye
by galvanizing in the vulnerable part of the
structure-that is, above water-the destruc-
tive action OF the moist air will be prevented
or greatly lessened, and the life of the struct-
ure materially increased. Painting or inn
pregnating Of the exposed parts Of n concrete
structure will be at best only temporary
expedient unless better materials can be
found than those now at hand"
