WIND RESISTANCE.

The problem of wind resistance to
a steamship at sea has just been
studied in very exact and careful
manner A miniature model of a g.
000-ton freighter was build in exact
proportion and tested against an
artificial breeze N a specially built
tunnel. 1t was found that a 30-mila
gale exerts resistance of approx
mately $500 pounds against a steam
er of the 3,000-ton size, and that
such wind alone will cut down her
speed per cent. When the indirect
effects of the wind in raising a rough
sea and making it difficult to hold the
course are added, the net loss in
speed may be as high as Is or 20 per
cent. In a dead calm, the air re-
sistance is responsible for a lowering
Of the theoretical maximum speed by
almost per cent.

HOMEMADE WASHING MACHINE.
Miners in Alaska Construct Ingenious
Device to Take the Place of
dashboard and Tub.

In parts of Alaska many of the mi
ners do their own housekeeping and
laundering. To accomplish the latter
they use as a substitute for the wash
board and tub a device made of an old
barrel-churn mounted on runners so
that the miner can take it along to his
work.
A cylinder about 80 inches long and
Of the same diameter as the head of
the churn is first constructed of heavy
galvanized iron. One end of this cylin-
der is left open, and the head of the
churn is fastened to the open end. The
cylinder is then carefully balanced in
the churn, and the churn-bearings fast
ened with rivets and solder to make
them water-tight.
Two screens are made Of galvanized
wire of one-inch mesh. One of them is
suspended from the movable head by
One-quarter-inch galvanized iron rods,
and the other is fastened to the cylin-
der, so that the two are about ten
inches apart in the middle Of the cylin-
der.
The clothes are confined between the
two screens. The water surges back
and forth through them until they are
clean, or as long as the churn is in
motion. A large pinwheel attached to
the bearings furnishes the turning
power.

Advice for Husbands.

Most words of wisdom that fall from
the pens of experts on the subject Of
love are written for women. Appar-
emily these little sermons are written
with the idea that only mans love is
worth keeping and that woman's cam
not possibly last.
We are told that man must never be
bored by trifling domesticities, but in
stead be encouraged to talk about his
business, and so on. Why should it
be addressed to one sex only?
Why not say to husbands: Remem-
Der that women are women and that
their great need is for love. Love is
their vocation, the thing they do best,
their greatest need In life. Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly to the husbands tale Of routing
Of a commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences Of the day?

GOODRICH MAN SEES RUSSIAN
REVOLUTION.

Some new interesting viewpoints Of
the world war were disclosed by Vic
tor van der Linde, Goodrich, repre-
sentative who returned from war-rid-
den Europe, June 18th.
Starting last Christmas, Mr.. van
der Linde Travelled through Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Russia, doing
special technical work for the Good
rich Company. He spent considerable
time in Moscow and Petrograd. Mr..
van der Linde was in the Russian
Capitol when the revolution broke
out and witnessed the exciting times
attending the abdication of the Gar
and the Selling Of the Government by
the council of soldiers and working
men.
II have great confidence in the new
Russian Government doing its share
in the struggle against German au-
tocracy," said Mr. van der Linde.
1.-THE new Government is determined
to stand shoulder to shoulder with,
England, France and the United
States. The soldiers are overanxious
to continue the fight. But the dis
sension has been among the work.
ing men engaged in manufacturing
munitions of war. The workers are
virtually on general strike for
higher wages"
1.-The American Commission headed
by Elihu Root have put new conf
dence into the Russian people. When
the workers return to their shops and
supply the soldiers with clothing,
food and ammunition, Russia will
tight as she never has before in her
history"
Before Mr.. van der Linde's recent
trip, he was associated with the
Paris office of the B. F. Goodrich
Company. Since the outbreak of the
world war, he was in close touch
with the Goodrich factory at Colon
bes. France. You have no idea. {"
said Mr.. van der Linde, "of how i'm

When it is remembered that there
are today under arms more than a.
100000 soldiers in the European war,
the immensely of the task Of keeping
them supplied with the munitions
with which they wage war will ap-
pear. It has been estimated that 1t
costs approximately 500 to outfit
soldier. OF this $25 goes for a gun
and $35 for his 1000 rounds of car
tridges. The average life of uniform
under modern service conditions Is
very short; that Of the ordinary rifle
is six months. In all Of the history
Of war there never has been such a
rapid exhaustion Of all Of the materi-
ais with which it is made, says the Ma
tional Geographic Society Bulletin.
A 75-centimeter gun can fire about
400 projectiles a day. Each Of these
projectiles costs approximately Sc.
Counting this and the depreciation Of
the gun, which is particularly rapid,
the daily outlay for it's operation
amounts to $1,000. 1t is estimated that
the 120 75-centimeter cannon in an
army corps, fired all day, cost in mu-
nitions and depreciation $4,000. In
addition to this, each army corps has
about forty pieces of heavy artillery.
Explosives and depreciation for a sim
gle days work for them totals $780,
600, making the total artillery expense
of an army corps $4,000 day.

der is heavy, it is no more so than the
outlay for materials demanded by the
present necessities Of trench warfare.
An officer who has studied this phase
of the present war carefully says that

Another picture Of the vastness OF
the munitioning trade and the I'M

er produced war materials before the
war broke out. They employ nearly
100000 men and nearly 5000 wom-
en-. The vastness of the industry in
England is not out of proportion to
that in France. Although Germany
holds 20 per cent of Frances coal and
some 80 per cent of it's iron, France
has been able, by the opening up of
new furnaces and by immense impOr-
tations Of ore and pig metal, largely
to overcome this handicap.

Wedding Cake Of Ancient Origin

The wedding cake is of ancient
origin. In its earliest form it was moth

or barley. Half of this was eaten by
the bride and half by the bridegroom,
as a token that they were Joined to-
gether for life. The wedding ring, a
symbol Of everlasting love, is derived
from heather source. The giving Of
an engagement ring. also dates back
many, centuries, for in the time Of the

with a ring Of iron, without q stone

HOW TO BlANCH CELERY.

A writer says in Farm and
Fireside, the national farm pa
per published at Springfield.
Ohio:
when the plan of banking
with soil is used for blanching
celery, the rows must be so
wide apart as to waste much
valuable land in small garden
areas. But by using paper sold
in rolls for the purpose. and
which is treated to make it
tough and moisture-proof, much
garden space and time may be
saved.
Celery set with the inten-
ton of using paper for blanch-
ing need be only far enough be-
tween rows to allow convenient
cultivation with wheel hoe, and
two rows can be set not over 8
or 8 inches apart, with spaces
Is to Is inches on each side of
the double rows. When ready
for blanching, the paper can be
quickly stretched each side Of
the double rows. The roll is
unwound along one side and
back the opposite side of the
double rows. thus requiring no
cutting of the roll. While one
person stretches the paper and
holds it in place, another
thrusts the long wire staples.

HOW PENNSYLVANIA
Did Away With Working Out
Road Taxes.

In 1905 the Pennsylvania
Legislature, convinced that so
much money was being lost by
the system of working out road
taxes that some better plan had
to be introduced, passed law
promising to pay ;ny township
which would abo! sh this sys-
tenn and collect tie road taxes
in cash, a sum e"lal to fifteen
per cent. of the annual cash
road collections. In some sec
tons of the State this proved
a sufficient inducement to
abandon the olds system of
working out road taxes, but it
was a failure i'm other sections.
In 1909. after experience had
shown that bette work was OBJ
tanned where al road taxes
were collected in cash, the leg
islature passed another law
abolishing everywhere the sys-
tenn of working out road taxes
and raised the stote contribu-
ton to the townships to so per
cent. of the cash collections. It
is one thing to pass Jaw but
very different thing to make
appropriations to carry it out.
The State is now indebted to
the townships to the amount of
nearly 100000, but it is
gradually paying up the deficit.
This year about $4,000 will be
distributed and provision will
he made for distributing about
$944,00O next year. which will
leave about $1.142,000 deficit
to be made up a'ter 1918. This
money is not given outright to
the township officials but must
be spent for constructing per-
manent culverts; for grading.
widening or Strengthening
roads: for suitable surfacing for
the rOadwavs, for building re-
tanning walls along the high
ways. or for meeting the share
of the townships in the cost of
State-aid road construction.
Although the State has been
delinquent in meeting it's obi
cations to the townships. the
effect of the abolition of the old
corvee system of working out
road taxes has proved so bene-
fetal to the tax payers that it
is doubtful if it has any sup
pOrters anywhere in the COM

Wednesday night when he was

The young boy received a
number of shots in the arm and
face and was taken to his home
in a serious condition. DR.. Fos-

wounds would not prove fatal.
No arrests have yet been made

APPLES GROWERS
MAKE OWN BARRELS

In Farm and Fireside, a writ
err says.
For twelve years apple
growers here i'm Lawrence
county, Ohio, have been buying
cooperage to make their own
barrels at home before the time
for picking. We have them
ready when needed. and we
save i'm several ways. Gener-
ally the barrels are better than
those made in factories that
are rushed with orders. We
also get our barrels for less
money. Sometimes as much as
10 or Is cents is saved on each
barrel. The material can be
hauled much cheaper than bar
rels that are set up, and can
also be stored i'm less space. If
one is short of storage space
he can make up his barrels a
short time before they are to
be used. Where the orchards
are located several miles away
from the shipping point. We
find it a great saving to haul
the material rather than: the
barrels"

JURY BAFFlED
When Trying to Establish Own
ership of Turkeys.

Dawson Springs, Ky.-A trial
somewhat out Of the ordinary
was held in police court here to
decide the ownership of a flock
of thirteen young turkeys, to-
gether with the mother turkey.
1t was a civil affair between T.
H. O'Bryan and James Handy,
both of this city.
From the testimony. it APP
pears that both Mr.. O'Bryan
and Mr.. Hambly are the own
ers of a flock of fourteen tur-
keys. The mother turkey of
each flock has beard, which is
unusual for a turkey. and they
bear the same resemblance. Mr..
Hamby'ss turkeys were missed
from his lot and after a search
were found in a wooded lot
neaby. and were driven home.
In the meantime Mr.. O'Bryan
missed his turkeys and another
search was begun. He found
them, he thought, i'm Hamby's
chicken lot and drove them to
his home, quite sure they were
his. However, it was the same
flock that Mr.. Handy is quite
sure belongs to him.
These incidents led to the
airing in police court to decide
the ownership of the turkeys
and the jury rendered no de-
cision. 1t now appears that II
another flock of turkeys is not
found there will be some fur
ther litigation over the question
of ownership.

STATES SWEETEST SONG Bird
Entertains Kentucky and Indi.
ana Boys at Camp
Shelby.

Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg,
Miss, Sept. 17.-Indiana, Ken
lucky and West Virginia sol
diers now at Camp Shelby, had
the pleasure a few nights ago
of hearing one bf the States
sweetest song birds sing more
than a dozen solos, and were so
charmed with the music that
they exacted a promise to again
appear at the Y. M. G. A. hall
and repeat the impromptu con-
cert.
The song bird, Miss Gladys
Akin, a Mississippi girl, was
visiting friends in Hattiesburg.
Some one suggested that she
sing for the soldiers. Anxious
to do her bit in the war, she
readily assented, and arrange
ments were quickly made for
her appearance in the hall at
camp at a given hour in the ev-
ening. 1t so happened that a
heavy rain fell while she was
en- route, with friends, in an au-
tomobile. to the camp, and the
heavy car met with a mishap
about a mile from its destina-
ton. Nothing daunted, Miss
Akin insisted upon walking
through mud and water to the
hall, arriving thirty minutes
late. She was cheered by sew
eral hundred soldiers as she
and her party arrived. Imme-
diately the concert began. The
boys were thrilled as the clear,
sweet notes from a grand So
prano voice flOated throughout
the building Miss Akin was
compelled to respond to repeat
ed encores and she smilingly
obliged every request. Later
the boys gathered around the
piano and sang patriotic and
college songs, the clear, high
soprano notes of Miss Akin in
spring everyone, as they arose
above the lower ones of the
male voices.
AS Miss Akin left the hall she
was vigorously cheered. IF
that's the way these Southern
girls are going to welcome us.
and show they feel an interest
in us, we want to stay here al
ways" said one Indiana SOL
der.
Miss Akin has agreed to re-
peat the concert towards the
latter part of the month. The
affair she gave for the boys in
khaki was the very first event
of the kind at camp. The boys
admit that they felt uplifted by
reason of the concert. All ap-
preciated the spirit in which
the Southern girl went to Camp
Shelby and sang for the soil
diers.
