MAKE THE WIND SAVE COAL
INGENIOUS Air Motors That Are Used
on Farms Would Serve Well
Also for Towns.

II would be hard to trace resem-
blance between the picturesque wind
mills Of Holland and the wind-power
electric plants to be seen here and
there on farms throughout this coun-
try. Mounted in steel frames capable
of withstanding even a hurricane, this
type of air motor supplies electricity
for all farm needs, and there is no
reason why they should not be built
large enough to develop thousands OF
horsepower, thereby effecting a per-
manent saving in coal, says Electrical
Experimenter. In fact, such plant
has been designed for the town OF
TOmah, Wis.
The working parts of these mills
are inclosed in weatherprOOf castings,
filled with lubricating oil and mounted
on ball bearings. The power values
turn on their bearings in such man
ner as to expose them to the wind at
the angle of greatest efficiency, no
matter from what quarter 1t may
blow. For only 80 degrees of the
circle does the wind strike the vane
on it's edge or at a point where the
fullest power is not developed.
The most ingenious features are the
automatic controls. When the storage
batteries are charged the mill stops
after they have given up a certain
amount of current the -vanes are
thrown into the wind and begin work
again. If the velocity of the air cur
rents would develop a speed injurious
to the machinery the angle of the
vanes to the wind automatically
changes, preventing the mill from run
ming above a given rate. The plant
requires little attention. Reasonable
care must be given to the generator
distilled or rain water provided fol
the batteries, and once a year the
bearings must be filled with oil.

Many thoughtless ones, seeing strut

little within them, are tempted to
decry the army as an institution, just

and even when the fires of peril do

acters, they will only be what they
are, developed, accented, tempered,
maybe, yet possessing the same fund

prove truly heroic under test speaks

of the race. But the point is, thai
we should laud the army as revealel

RESERVE DISTRICT IS
MAKING FINE SHOWING

ATLANTA, Ca, April 12.-The news
from Washington yesterday that Off
cial returns by Federal Reserve Banks
to the Treasury department show the
Sixth ATLANTA Federal Reserve dis
trict to be leading the districts of San
Francisco, st. Louis and Kansas City
in the third Liberty Loan, has given
great encouragement to the executive
committee here in charge of the cam
paign in this district.
Throughout the southeastern states
the people have responded to the third
Liberty Loan with wonderful patriotic
enthusiasm. scores of towns subscr1b
ing their quota on the very first day,
and many going over their quota. The
committee is anxious that all local
committees steadily continue all their
work without stopping because let
down just now through over confidence
would seriously imperil the success
OF the loan in this district
The campaign in the cities will not
be launched until next Monday, fol-
lowing a week of intensive preliminary
work in the shape of advertising and
organization. If the cities of the dis
trict do as well this time as the towns
ard the country, the loan is an as
sured success so far as this district
is concerned, but there is always the
possibility that the cities may not
come up so we'll, and then it would be
necessary to utilize the over-subscrib-
ed margin in the towns and country
communities to put over the quota 70"
the district as a whole.
