PUTTING OF LAKE
 SHIPS ON SEAS IS
 CAUSING PROBLEM
Many Craft From Great Lakes Now in Ocean
 Going Service.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 22.-While ves- sel owners on the Great Lakes have pledged their undivided support to the war, they, had related business inter- ests are viewing with more than pass ing interest the taking of a large number of package freighters from the lakes for salt water service. That there will be scarcity of small carriers on the lakes, is freely admit ted. Millers of the northwest contend that all tonnage of that class will be needed in the 1918 season for the movement of flour from upper lake ports to the east.
 It has been pointed out also that the movement of coal to small docks will be affected b ythe removal of vessels ranging in capacity from 5000 to A. 900 tons. Vesselmen face one of the biggest seasons on record and coal shipments are expected to play large part in their activities. Present indi- cations are that navigation season opens.
 IWenty-three steamers were sent to the coast in 1917? probably a score more have been taken over since then for delivery at seaboard by May 15, and many more are expected to be lin- ed up before the lake season opens. In addition to these Al vessels, ten steel tugs, and the wrecking tug Fa- vorite were sent to the coast last sea- son.
 Capacity operations will rule in ship yards along the Great Lakes this year eto fo, water service, the American Shipbuild- ing company's plants are booked vir- tually to capacity. The Toledo Ship building company has contracts fol IA steamers for ocean service. Simil- jar conditions prevail at other plants.
 The Toledo company expects to seno eight of these vessels to the seaboarC before the end of the coming season and six will come out early in 1919 A majority of the vessels to be built bv the companies named, will be 261 feet long,43.5 feet beam and "A feet deep.
 The supplying of man-power that will be needed for the new ships tc be added to the country's merchant marines, has been the subject of sev. eral conferences between representa-. tives of the seamen's union and the United States shipping board. Sever. al training ships to school men in the work of sailors, foremen, oilers, stew ards. etc., already have been provid ed by the shipping board. In addition to these, 3S government navigation ant marine engineering schools have beer established through out the country where experienced seamen are being trained for officers. An interesting feature of the training ships is tha they are officered and manned exclus ively by American citizens.
 It is understood from reliabl, source that more than 4,O00 new off cers have been licensed since the Unit ed States entered the war.

 The Arkansas Democrat publishes the following interview with Mr. Reno squadron.
 MT. Reno was granted leave of ab- sence until March 1, and arrived in New York on January 1. He was wounded in an accident and came to America to recuperate. Since his ar rival here he has been notified that his leave will be extended until May 1. MT. Reno's home is in Chicago. He was born in Little Rock, but was taken to Chicago by his parents while a baby. While in the city he is a guest of his aunt, Mrs. Richard w. Rightsell, 615 West Sixteenth. Mrs. l.. D. Reno, his mother; H. D. Reno, his brother, and Lorton Bryant, a friend, are here with him.
 The "Storks," French flying corps of which Capt Georges Guyenemer was member corresponds to the Ger mans "Traveling Circus" MT. Reno said Wednesday. "Wherever the fighting is the thickest YOU can al- ways count on the "Storks" having their share of it. It is the crack fly flying corps of the French army and while on duty in Belgium was under British orders.
 Reno is the only American left with the "Storks," both Chadwick and Turn CT having been killed. He is a pilot of a Spad, one-man machine, which he MT. Reno says the Americans learn says is fast replacing the Nieuports. much quicker than the French because ftheir store of energy and "pep."
 "The United States" he said, "can- not expect to build an aeroplane on short notice that would excel the machines used in Europe at the pres ent time. The fighters over there have had about four years experience in the air and they have taken every advantage to perfect the machines However, if America sends a suffic- tent number of aeroplanes to the French front it will have a telling effect on the Germans. The Germans will not fight against odds, neither will they fight with even numbers. If five French planes advance on five German planes the latter will retreat TO make landing. They figure that if the five aviators in eac hsquad are killed neither side will gain an ad- vantage"
 MT. Reno has had several falls and numerous daring engagements with German aviators, but declined to say much about himself, adding: "Come to the theatre and I'll tell you all about myself. Pm saving the story of my own experiences for the au- diences.

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them, writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so we'll no' where else. The little writers--hacks, who eentimentaliZe to the latest order, and display tlleir plot novelties like bargains op an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life Niddle-sized authors-the very good and the prob- ably endUring--arc successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed it through to contem- porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Vanity |air," Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton ill ''Thc House of Mirth." But back-tunature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-hogs and turtles that call themselves nature books-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the American sulaconsciousness.

AUTOS IN WINTER
Help Starting Device by Providing
Rich Gas Mixture.
How Antifreezina Solution Should Be
Fed Into Radiator - Proportions
VIII Depend Largely Upon
Temperature.

Every year motorists find themselves
overlooking the fact that Jack Frost
is no respecter of persons and automo-
biles, and that he will go out of his
way to pay his respects to the radi-
ntor and congealing the water therein
and in the water jackets of the cylin-
ders-cause a pretty repair bill and
deny the owner the use of his car for
q week or more.
The first fall of snow is nc longer
viewed with alarm by motor a own
ers-it is no longer the signal for them
to put their ears away until spring.
More and more car owners are coming
to realize that in keeping their cars in
dead storage for three or four months
every year, they are carrying an idle
investment, besides doing the car
harm than good. Disuse breeds depre-
citation as surely as does misuse.
Provides Gas Mixture.
On cold days help your starting mo-
tor by providing a rich a mixture.
Prime the carburetor in the usual
way, or, better still, choke the air in
let. Not all Of the gasoline In the rich
mixture will reach the cylinder-much
of 1t will condense On the cold walls
of the intake manifold. So you will
understand why it Is wise to provide
as rich a mixture at the carburetor as
is possible, and the careful owner will
take this means of removing a good
share of the burden from his battery.
Insure Against Damage.
Provide yourself with a few gallons
of denatured alcohol, and when the
weather turns in a decided manner
feed a little into the radiator, thus
insuring yourself against damage that
surely will come otherwise. The pro-
portions depend upon the temperature.
1t will require a 5 per cent solution OF
alcohol to prevent freezing at 25 de
grees, and a % per cent solution will
take care of the water system down
to zero. As low as 10 below the solu-
ton should be 30 per cent, and If the
mercury happens to drop to 10 degrees
below the percentage win be 50 of al
cohol, whereas 10 more degrees below
will require a 40 per cent solution. At
present prices glycerin is out of the
question as an antifreezing agent--be-
sides, alcohol is far better and cheap
err, even If 1t does tend to evaporate
easily.
Cover your radiator when a is al
lowed to stand idle, and II 1t Is to re-
main in the cold for any length Of time
let 1t face the wind and not back up to
1t. If left in the latter position the
wind has a clear passage under the
car and above the drip pan to the mo-
tor.
1t requires no more effort to do
things correctly than it does to do
them wrongly, and lack of understand
ing is the only barrier. Watch the lit
tie details.

Thought Cakes tainted.

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making a
special effort to bake a prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done,
but when removed from the stove II
fell fiat and had a sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedi-
ately mixed in haste and little Vir-
ginia's eyes grew large as she listened
to her mother lamenting over the first
sad cake that had fallen. The second
baking proved the same as the first,
but the third attempt resulted in a
veritable triumph. Virginia, however,
could not rally from the mornings
tragedy, and when her aunt came over
she exclaimed in great excitement:
"Oh, auntie, mother made three cakes
and two Of 'em tainted"

Show which terminated at the Stock

increase in paid attendance over the
1917 show of 1892 paid admissions,
the attendance last year being in paid
admissions, S0,51s persons. The cat
tie, horses, swine and sheep shown
this year., in addition to the fowls,
have been pronounced in point of
breeding, the best ever seen in Den

never been surpassed. More high
class ring events were shown this
year than ever before, and not only
lovers of horse flesh, but Denver so
ciety, responded with their patronage
in a manner most gratifying to the
