Washington, Feb. 18.-Promises Of

airplane and rubber manufacturers at
a conference here today with Rear
Admiral David w. Taylor, chief in

and the cooperation Of plants. they

Much information has been received
from England and elsewhere as to the

during the present war.

Some Of the German craft arc able
to attain upwards Of 1000 horsepower
furnished by gasoline motors. since
American automobile manufacturers
have made rapid progress recently in
reducing engine weight without re-
ducing power. no fears are expressed
but that the efficiency Of the German
engines can be equaied.
The only dirigible craft for which
the navy has contracted is a small

to overcome. The boy or girl who is
industrious enough to keep the witch
grass out of their garden this year has
learned one Of the lessons essential
to success in life On the whole the
children's gardens in this section are
well cared for and are looking most
promising. About the best kept fields

The Overt Act AGAIN.

Billy and Memo were great friends.
Billy was goat and Memo a young
thoroughbred bull. They spent many
hours each day, heads together, push
ing one another about the bulls great
er weight doing all the pushing. The
whole barn lot was dug up by Billys
sharp hOofs. One day, when engaged
in their favOrite pastime, Nemo's stub
by horns became locked in Billy's curly
ones. 1t seemed for time that they
could not 'let CO." Then Memo gave
mighty toss of his head, throwing
Billy clear over him. Billy landed
right side up with a shrill cry that
seemed to say, you're too dinged
rough" He pranced around in front
of Memo and with a mighty burst of
speed planted a knockout blow in
the center of Nemo's forehead. With
q stified moan, Memo fell to the ground
'for the count" Billy surveyed the
wreck, then strobe haughtily away,
but never after were Billy and Memo
seen in their old sport.-Indianapo

FAN MEANS MUCH In JAPAN
Every Native Carries One and II Has
Much Significance, According
As 1t Is Used.

1t is no exaggeration TO say that in
Japan everybody carries fan, and a
fan means a great many things, ac-
cording as it is used.
There is an enormous variety of
fans. The cheapest and most usual
forms are familiar to everyone. One
of the most curious varieties is the
iron war fan. This was invented in
the eleventh century for the use of
military commanders, either for direc-
ton of their soldiers or as shield for
defence. 1t is made of leather or iron.
The water fans are made of bamboo,
and are thinly lacquered, SO that they
may be dipped in water to secure extra
GOODNESS while tanning. Another kind
is the revolving white fan, which clings
around it's stick. and can be rolled up.
Another strong, fiat paper fan is used
as bellows to blow the charcoal fire in
| the kitchen.
The "agi" are folding fans. They
| are painted with flowers and tied with
| white silk. These are the court fans,
and different flowers are appropriated
by different great families.
Sometimes an innocent-looking fam
case holds a dagger, while preachers
carry notes on their sermons in theirs.
All the old legends are told by the ar
rangement of houses, figures and birds
painted on the faces of the fans. An
endless etiquette is involved in the use
of fans.
With the Japanese. in fact, the fan
is an emblem of life. The rivet end is
| the starting point, and as the rays of
the fan expand so the road of life
widens out towards prosperous fu-
| ture.

Caring for Watch at Night.

The care of the watch at night or
when it is not in use is an important
item, concerning which the bureau of
standards states: "At night, or when
the watch is. not in use, it is desirable
to leave the watch in the same posi-
ton as during the day, and preferably
in some place where it will not be
subject to any great temperature
change. If it is desirable to leave the
watch in a horizontal position during
the night for the sake of compensat-
ing any considerable gaining or losing
of the watch in the pendant-up posi-
ton, to avoid marked temperature
changes should be observed, and the
regularity with which such change
of position is carried out may be as
important as regularity of winding.
