AERIAL TORPEDOES
LATEST SEA WONDER
Turkish ship With 5000 Troops, Is
sunk just Before E.mi Of Hos
tili1ieN

London, Dec. 26--.Phantom tor
pedoes. from the clouds sank a
Turkish ship carrying 5000 troops
just before the end of hos.ilities. Only
the armistics prevented other aerial
phantonls' from operating efYec-
lively against the German warships
in the kiel canal and other German
naval shelters.
These hydroplanes discharging tor
pedoes above the water have been the
great secret OF the British navy dur
ing the closing month OF the war
Scientific officers of this branch of
the navy agree that these mysterious
planes are designed to accomplish
from the air more effectively and
more swiftly what the torpedoes from
ST. bynarines can achieve.
Universal Service learns from naval
authorities that an armored ship
carrying twenty Of these machines
met the German surrender feet at sea
ready for action in case the Germans
should attempt some eleventh hour
trickery. The same authorities de-
clare II would have been simple work
for these twenty machines to leap
into the air and wipe tho German fleet
from the face of the sea
These amazing planes ascend from
land or deck, climb thousands Of feet
for sudden dive from the clouds at
speed OF / so miles an hour. straigh-
ten out fifty feet above the sea and
discharge torpedo direct at the
enemy ship. Then they disappear
I into the clouds as suddenly as they
appeared. and so swift that the enemy
craft has no chance of training it's
guns or machine guns on it.
How the difficulty of discharginfg
| a torpedo in the air IL overcome liz a
naval secret. 1t is known that serious
accidents marked the experimental
tests with those wonder machines:
! The sudden tightening OF the air
plane by the discharge of heavy
| torpedo sometimes causes the wings
to collapse and the pilot /. hurled to
! death
! On one experimental occasion such
an aiYplane discharged o. torpedo
whichshit the water, ricohcetted. rose
and demolished the plano before the
latter could get out of the way.

ACTING MUST BE VITAL
TO ONES HAPPINESS
TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS

New York, Dec. 2s.--Should you
become an actor? Or an actress, OF
course. Sam Forrest, engaging di-
rector for Cohen H. Harris, and pro-
Queer of Three Faces East" "on
Trial" etc, says. You should IL you
can say yes to the following aues-
tons:
/. Is acting vital to your happi-
ness?
=. Do you feel that you have In
you the making of a great artist
g. Are you prepared to devote your
life to the theater?
He or she who hesitates, ruminates
or equivocates an easy answer is lost,
according to Forrest. Such stage
aspirant can never hope to reach
above the great mediocrity" which
now crowds the theater to confusion.
1t is estimated by Forrest that
there are today in New York city
5000 more actors and actresses than
can hope for engagements. even If
these piping times OF peace treble
theatrical production. And the roll
call. OF the stage strtick averages
fifty additional names Il day.
Overwhelmed by numbers when
casting a play. argues Forrest, how
can q manager detect budding
Booth or kernhardt? He must sub
nit to the old rule of the survival Of
the fittest. Forrest himself believes
that genius, talent. even aptitude for
the stage will eventually be recoE-
nized. But IL the superfluous ones
who take UP acting as a pleasant
profitable pursuit would leave the
field clear for those who really be-
long to the theater, recognition
would come sooner, he asserts.
so those who are on the stage and
those who want To go. on. think well
over the Forrest QUESTIONABLE. If
you are In doubt---"the stage is no

q Before we can properly under
stand the troubles OF the transmits
sion. their cause and remedy we
must see what the purpose of it IS,
sits action and its design. Let us,
therefore, look into the latter.
The purpose OF the transmission Is
.three-fold; first, It can give the en-
gine leverage for hill-climblng;
secondly, to permit the engine TO re-
volve faster than the rear wheels
when the car must travel very slow
iy. thus preventing the stalling Of the
engine. and thirdly. it provides a
means for driving backwards.
When the designer has TO decide
upon the size of his engine bore, he
mus, consider what the engine must
accomplish. Upon investigating he
will have 10 overcome the friction Of
the car and the resistance OF the
wind but that when climbing a hill
