Peculiarities Of the Submarine.
From st. Nicholas.

From st. Nicholas.
1t is not always safe to judge a
thing by its name; it is apt to lead
to sad mistakes. Now. one would
naturally suppose from its name that
submarine is a boat that lives under
water. like a fish. But it is not a
fish: it is an air-breathing animal that
prefers to stay on the surface, only oc
casonally diving under to hide from
danger or to, steal upon its prey. Prob
ably submarines. do not average more
than three hours per day completely
submerged. A U-boat cannot float
under water without swimming; in
other words, it must keep its pro-
pellers going to prevent 1t from either
sinking to the bottom of the sea or
bobbing up to the surface. To be sure.
it can make itself heavier or lighter

out of its ballast tanks, but it is i'm

VOICES CONFIDENCE m FUTURE
OF MOTOR CAR INDUSTRY
r. II. Collins Considers Past Growth 1nsig-
nifcant to What Future Holds
.L for Business.

Intensive confidence in the future OF
the motor car industry. coupled with
an unbounded enthusiasm. marks the
attitude OF R. H. Collins, president and
general manager OF the Cadillac Motor
Company. Despite the gigantic strides
Of the motor industry. Mr. Collins
considers the growth insignificant to
what the future holds. He believes that
the manufacture of automobiles is to be-
come our first industry. For every man
who deserves to succeed he sees the
most successful years in the future. He
predicts a record demand for cars dur
ing 1918, and he also predicts the great
est shortage in automobiles since the
beginning of the industry The short
age. he says. will be caused by the
shortage of labor. In this connection he
sounds new note in connection with the
development of the young men of the
country.
4 believe that aircraft will develop
after the war faster than the auto
mobile has since the days of the one
cylinder" says Mr.. Collins. The en-
gineering of every government is being
directed to the development of air
planes, and 1 firmly believe that within
five years all mail between the Atlantic
and Pacific Will be delivered by air
planes. In other words, the great dis
tances between the east and the west
must be cut down. Modern develop
ment demands it and the airplane is
the best method that suggests itself
for cutting down this distance.
Mail From London.
British engineers expect to ultimately
see mail between London and the colonies
delivered by airplane, and it is also their
opinion that the United States is neg
lecting important work in not mapping
airplane routes and providing landing
places that will be required in the large
centers.
This entrance of the airplane in our
modern business life will in no way affect
the automobile business. The building of
airplaues and airplane motors has already
become a business of tremendous proper
tiens in this country. In our factories,
for instance, many airplane motors are
being built at the present time, and we
will soon reach a capacity Of fifty motors
q day.
"A shortage of high-grade motor cars
is already being felt and this will become
more acute as the months go on. 1t is not
so much a question of factory capacity
or material as 1t is problem of getting
men to build good motor ears. Never in
the history of this country has there been
such a shortage of skilled mechanics.
To-day many of the boys of this coun-

try are already automobile experts. AL
most any high school boy can describe
the various types. of motor cars. and
there are few things regarding the gen
eral construction of cars which they
do not know. As result, this country
never had such material from which TO
pick the future heads OF Its manufac-
turing enterprises. There is no limit to
mobile industry, and there is no better
place to start than in the automobile
factory. Possibly the young mans tai
ent may be that Of q salesman. or an

Ready for Young Men.
Here is a business ready for young
men which offers abundant returns.
The man with factory production knowl-
edge has a great advantage over the
man who begins in any other depart
ment The big men of the automobile
industry today started in the production
department where they become familiar
with the manufacture of the automobile
tanned in automobile manufacturing will
fit a young man to enter almost any
other manufacturing field. If he so de-
sires.
ne greatest years Oh the Col .
are before US. and the grammar school
and the high school boys of today
should give the matter of their future
career very serious consideration. The
years to come will be big manufactur-
ing years. The world Is constantly
changing for the better all the time.
ITO return to the question of the
shortage of skilled labor-this Is GER
tain to mean a shortage of quality
motor cars and l believe that In an
other year high-gr cars will be at
premium everywhere. Automobile fac
tories can easily be adapted to the
manufacture of war necessities and
many of the plants are already doing
considerable work. This. coupled with
the pronounced shortage of men, means
less automobiles available.
There can be no such thing as an
oversupply of automobiles. This holds
good after the war. as well as at pres
ent. Only the manufacturers whose
goods do not come up to their claim
will be in danger.
There was never a greater injustice
done any industry than that OF calling
the automobile non-essential. Today
It is only the man who is pre1udtced
through lack of information who even
thinks of this great industry as nom
essential It Is, in fact, one of the most
essential of all the Industries OF this
country today, and will play larger
part in the world development in the
years to come"

'It is not only the most logical loca-
tion for the automobile business, Due
venture to predict that inside OF nve
years every motor concern in the city
will have drifted down on Pennsylva-
mia avenue with their salesrooms anu
service stations"
Thus spoke Col. Cliff Long. local rep
resentatiye of the Studebaker Corpora
tion. when asked by the writer what he
thought of the rapid influx of automo-
bile and truck establishments on the
noted thoroughfare of late.
Continuing. Col. Long said:
"a few months ago there was some
talk OF the government taking over the
building I am In, but I have heard no
more about it. / had fully made up my
mind that in case did have to move I
to transfer my place Of business to that
section of Pennsylvania avenue between
7th street and Peace monument. With
the broad expanse OF space. scarcity OF
private dwellings and large. roomy al
ieys to be found in this vicinity. con-
slider it the ideal spot for the location
of an automobile establishment.
The truck people were quick to ap-
preciate the features OF the locality, as
I notice every day where some new
along the big street. and I feel con-
ddent that once the representatives of
the different passenger cars in the city
wake up to its advantages they will
flock down to that section in droves."
Bears Out Prediction.
From the way the truck companies
have been opening their doors in the
past six months along Pennsylvania
avenue certainly bears out the predic-
tion made by Col. Long.
Only in the past week two local con-
cerns-the Record Auto Company. dis
tributers Of the Smith Form-A truck,
and the Schenck Company. representa-
tives of the Guaranty truck-have
closed their former places of business
to reopen on Pennsylvania avenue.
There is no doubt but what compact
automobile sections In city are an
advantage to both the purchaser and
the dealer. It saves the former a great
deal of extra travel, and by co-opera-
tion with one another the dealers are
almost certain, one or the other, to sell
the prospect before he leaves the neigh
borhood.
Seems to Have Worked.

bers of the automobile fraternity are
generally to be found together, and

JUDGE HOLDS BAKER,
NOT M'AD00, SHOULD
DIRECT RAILROADS

Louisville, March A. Federal
Judge Walter Evans in an opinion
rendered here, denying Federal
courts exclusive jurisdiction in dam
age suits against transportation
companies solely because, they are
under government control, indicated
that he had failed to find any stat
ute authorizing Director General Nc
Adoo to take control Of the railroads
of the country.
War Department Function.
The text of the opinion, which be-
came available here, in this connec-
tion says:
"Under no established rule of in
depreciation can it be doubted that
Congress authorized in time Of war,
the war department, and no other, to
take over the railroads. If we as
sumo (Which is inconceivable) that
the Secretary of War declined for
that department, we can find no
statute authorizing the control Of the
railroads under the Treasury depart
ment nor by director general of
railroads."
McAdoo Lacks Authority
Judge Evans cited the law empow-
ering the government to take over
the railroads., pointed out that Con-
gress specified it should be done
through the War department, of
which Newton D. Baker is the head,
and asserted that w. G.. McAdoo,
"who was and is Secretary of the
Treasury" has been appointed by
President Wilson as director general,
an office which the court says, the
law does not recognize.
Would Compel Baker to Act.
After remarking it is inconceiv-
able that the War department was
asked and refused to take over the
railroads, Judge Evans declares, if
the letter of the law were applied, it
would be a question whether Baker
and not McAdoo would not be COM
PEELED to operate the railroads Sin
person."

BEMIDJI H. s. GIRLS
BEATEN AT AKELEY

The Bemidji high school girls
made a trip to Akeley on Saturday
and were defeated in a hard fought
basketball game played that after
noon. The game started rather
slowly but had reached an exciting
pitch by the end of the first half,
which found Bemidji with three
field baskets to her credit and AXE
ley one field basket and one foul,
making a total Of to in Be-
midji's favor.
Between halves, Akeley must have
acquired from some source great
deal more speed and some real fight
ing spirit, and they were able to run
up their score with some very good
field work. The final score was 26
to 12 in Akeley's favor.
In the absence Of Carrie Brown,
the Bemidji center, Josephine Par
ker played that position and scored
all of Bemidji's points. Pearl Phibbs
and Madge Trafton did some good
work as forwards. Lucille Young and
Elsie Mus played as guards and
Emma Golz acted as substitute.
J. G. Peterson of Akeley refereed
the game in a fair and square man
ner, say the girls. The next game
will be with Walker at Bemidji on
Friday, March 8, in the armory.

Canada and America Join
Hands In Recruiting Work

The, United States and Canadian
recruiting offices have BEEN moved
to new quarters, which are on the
ground floor at 220 Beltrami avenue,
between Second and Third streets.
The two offices are being housed
under one roof and will coordinate
in the work of securing volunteers
for the allied armies. The plan is
to keep the offices open evenings
with an officer in charge.
The rooms are large enough for
both, and will afford a private com
partment for the examining OF vol
unteers. The cost of rental will be
between the two govern
ments. Local expenses for the Unit
ed States office will be maintained by
popular subscription. Already thirty
business men have signed a sub
scription petition, agreeing to keep
the fund in the local treasury up to
at least $40 monthly.
The civilian recruiting committee
also circulated a popular contribu-
