Ideas OF the extent 10 which the

normal activities OF the automobile
Industry are given definite shape by
the DISCLOSURE that motor vehicle

total OF sl,at6 machines OF an aE-
greEate cost OF approximately tb4,-
ooo,0e0 These include passenger
cars FOR officers use. hight and heavy
tra}4ts. special cars and motorcycles.
Further items giving an idsa Of the
huge quantity requirements OF this
one phase OF war activity are the
appropriation OF ts.ooo. 900 Cor heat
ing $50 garages and motor, vehicle
shelters already buiit. and the pro-
posed expenditure Of e6,70e.ooe IN
building motor rcpAtr shops
These figures were brought out II
the course OF hearings on TIA urrpnf

ter greater power aircraft designers
have learned many things In regard

The Importance OF ieak-proof gas
ketink to Withstand the high COM
preston OF the airpiane engine had
added TO our knowledge immensely
and unquestionably the lessons Will
be applied In proportion TO engine

knowledge In IN Increasing compact

plano engine must take up Just as

OF accessibility. Now. our present
automobile engine types are credit

hat the Airplans engineer has car
ried this quality to far greater

But the airplane designsrs ana
their helpers have demonstrated
that certain improvements may be
made IN engine constrvction by the
use OF certain expansive steel al

commercial producer to find way
OF getting those alloys and special

them available for his uses. After
the war when secrets come out. we
venture to guess that all these I'M

More Powerful Motors Will Follow.
In summing Il up. II may be said
that after the lessons learned In
military airpiane design and con-
structlon have been applied In the
automobile field We shall have
power plants that ars smaller

nomical than thoes OF today. We
know. too, that lighting generators

Save The Seeds.

Hundreds of thousands of peach
seeds and nut shells have been
collected IN LOUISIANA, Mlssiss-
|ippi and Alabama in the last two
weeks and made into carbon to
be splaced IN gas masks for
American soldiers IN France.
While the American Red Cross
workers are fighting influenza at
home with "Flue Masks, MAX
ing them by the many hundreds
at a time, soldiers over there
must not be forgotten.
Every chapter in the Gulf Dl.
vision composed of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama has
been urged to renew it's efforts IN
the collection of the peach stones
and nut shells now. Two hun.
dred peach stones make enough
carbon for one gas mask, while
Z pounds of nut shells Will pro.
tect one American soldier from
German poison fumes.
Reports are beng received
daily at the Gulf Division head
quarters telling of the collection
OF seeds and shells. Albert
Kraemer, Assistant Director in
the Bureau of Development and
IN charge OF the Bureau of Con.
servation work, is enthusiastic
over the results so far. He urges
all chapters, however, to renew
their efforts.
Food Administration officials,
Juniors of the Red Cross. Boy
Scouts and many other govern
ment agencies are cooperating
IN this emergency campaign. In
hundreds of grocery stores, de-
partment stores and elsewhere,
the proprletors have placed small
boxes for the collection of the
nut shells and seeds.

symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover

develop pneumonia, or Inflammation

these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
Identical with the epidemics of infuen-

"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t Is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time, there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis.
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
OF influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ.
lilized world. Three years later there
was another fiare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide.
ly over the United States.
Although the present epidemic ia
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that 1t originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at.
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"

: There Is as yet no certain way In
which a single case of Spanish influ.

and colds, which usually occur In the

may occur at any season of the year

through the community so rapidly or
