BY LIEUT.. ]

One of those "Iknowaguy' persons was on the train today He said q friend had collected from newspapers nearly a thousand recipes and ways for curing a cold. Some day the friend was going to combine the whole outfit into one grand cold-slaughtering remedy and make his fortune.
 l know better one than that.
 Every day ships are going down. Some are going up. Not few are going on and up until they are high and dry. 'Tis the age of wrecks and salvage. And salvage-for with all the wonderful advances the war has brought about in surgery, aviation, ordnance and avoiding the bone dry laws and income taxes we cannot over look the uncanny cleverness with which our Sand Blowers (wrecking engineers) are hauling ships up and off and rejuvenating them.
 Remem Der the other day when an American Genius cut a Great Lake steamer in half-she was too long for the locks-and lowed the two chunks to the sea. He rejoined them in the holy bonds of drydock; and today this marvel of modern marine sur gery is helping feed our Allies.
 Why not clip all these tales from the papers, save them, and after the, war with one gigantic method, begat of tens of thousands, pile up a bank account that would make old Rams pyramid look like an after dinner mint
 This bit I'm about to write would make an excellent beginning for the collection.
 The American submarine H-3 went ashore on Samoa Beach, California, a year ago Since it was too foggy to select a good place for the accident her plucky skipper was forced to re- port, Ion the sand and going deeper" Which needed the loud pedal to make 1t really true. For a "Quicksand wreck" goes out of sight like a spoon in custard. And worst of all the tides left her clear less than five hours a day At high water the waves ran up 250 feet inside of the boat. Every sweep of the great Pacific surf carried tons of sandcharged seas around and over the smooth steel hull. In few days she was almost buried

More Chinese Eggs.
(POrtland Oregonian) )

\I oi C1dIlo oISSOuldn)
 Although there has been a letuD in importation of Chinese eggs into the United States, due in the main to shortage of transportation facilities, there promises to be a revival imme- diately after the conclusion of the war. Then we shall be called on to compete not only with the Chinese producer, as at present, but with or ganized Japanese capital as well.
 Consul Peck, at Tsingtau, tells about it in a prosaic report to the De- partment of Commmerce. He says that wealthy Japanese investors, among whom are some of the most prominent business men of Japan, have organized company with large capital for the manufacture of egg products in China. Two factories which formerly turned out these pro- ducts have been standing idle since the outbreak of the war. These fac tories are to be enlarged to a capa- city of S0O,000 pounds of dried yolk and 341, 900 pounds of albumen a year. The new buildings are ;o be under construction by next month and the machinery installed by May. Once started, the Japanese are not letting any grass grow under their feet.
 The most significant statem ent of the Consul, however, is the following: "The originators of the enterprise hope to sell mainly to the American market although they will attempt to develop the Japanese and Euro pean markets as well.''
 The manufacture of egg products will not meanwhile interfere with the usual shipment of Oriental eggs for direct consumption. This was just beginning to be established when the war broke out. When commerce has been measurably restored to the seas it is to be expected that Chinese egg i'm ports will be resumed on a larger scale than ever

CLOSING THE SCHOOLS.

Complaint from teachers that the properly heated did not take into consideration the extremely cold period preceding the Christmas holi- days. The action of the school au- thorities in extending the vacation period one full week because of this present wave of cold weather over rides all former criticism. There is plenty of coal on hand; but it is prac- tically impossible to keep the class rooms heated at the regulation tenn perature
 Sending children to school in weather such as this, when the rooms of the school buildings cannot be kept heated close to the mark set by hygienists, is waste of time and money. A week lost by the pupils at this time can be made up at the end of the scholastic year, when the early saved from now until January four teenth can be expended in an effort to combat even colder weather in March should such weather present itself
 Superintendent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes has been guided by dic- tates of public necessity in keeping the schools closed a week longer than usual at the Christmas holidays He is supported in this by the experiences of the past two weeks when weather conditions made it almost impossible to maintain a comfortable tempera- ture in the school buildings of this city. Many colleges and universities throughout the land have been forced to resort to the same ruling, closing their doors for longer period.

It was hardly necessary to print name under the above photograph re- production. Nearly everyone in New Britain knows "Dick" Nygren because of his prominence in aeronautics. Ny gren is now located at Kelly Field, San Antonio, where Uncle Sam is preDar- ing his flock of human eagles, who ex- pect to sail across the German border and pay an informal visit to the Kali ser, leaving their cards in the shape of bombs and other explosive imple- ments. He is an officer in the avia- ton corps.
 Ever since flying machines were proved to be practicable Nygren has been interested in rising above his fel- lOWmen. He has made a number of flights in this vicinity and has had several narrow escapes from death, which resulted in broken bones when he came in contact with trees and oth- CT obstacles nature puts in the paths of those who would defy the laws of graVitation. Despite his many mis- haps, NNgren continued to follow the flying game with Nels Nelson, another intrepid Columbus of the air. Nygren's home is at 766 East street.

KNOW THE CARS LOAD.
Method By Which a Motoa'ist Can Get
 the Best Fire Service.

Perhaps the greatest and most inn portant thing a motOrist should know about a car is it's weight with the average load Carried,' says an expert. "By knowing the weight of his car when loaded ready to run the motor ist is in a position to regulate his tires so that they not only act as the best shock absorber obtainable, but are fit to offset any injuries which may come from over or under infa- tiOn.
 With the weight of your car, plus the weight of gasoline water and extra tires, with the weight of the passengers added, you have the to- tai running weight of your car.
 For a quick way of determining what air pressure you will carry in your tires if you have no regular ta- Suggested:
 ble of imitation the following table Is
 ''For three-inch tires divide the weight of the load by thirty-two.
 For three and one -half-inch tires divide the weight by forty.
 For four inch tires divide the weight of the load by forty eight.
 For four and one-half inch tires divide the weight of hte load by fifty six.
 For five and one-half-inch tires weight of the load by siXty-four, enty-two.
 ITO further illustrate the working out of the above table suppose your car weighed 2,8S0 pounds and you are using four-inch tires. From the above we find that for four-inch tires the weight of the load should be di- vided by rty-eight. This will give you sixty pounds air pressure, which should be carried in your tires. The tire mileage will be greatly increased if the motorist will regulate his air pressure by the load he carries. - New York Sun.

A Fifty Eight Pound Ham.
(Charlotte OhSerYerl

One of the Bryants of Providence township was in the Charlotte marl>e Saturday with a ham from a hog which he had raised. The ham weighed fifty eight pounds and was of prime quality Bryant had the hog on the market four weeks ago, but the dealers thought it V>s of too enor- nous a size and made no satisfactory bids. So Bryant took the hog home and slaughtered it. Weight pound hams constituted one item. Others were a. large supply of sausage, lard and by y-products, and this young far mer by working up his own product made about double what he would have made if he had sold the hog on the hoof. It is not every farmer in the State who can trot to town with a fifty eight pound ham when he feels in need of a little pocket change, and it is not every county in the State in which hogs like that raised by MT. Bryant are produced.

depressed, and when the whole line had been set the entire line of matrix bars was lowered until the different bars came into contact with their re- spective stops, which were at various heights, so that at certain point the characters on the matrix bars formed a line of reading matter. There was no automatic justification, or spacing to make the line the exact length re- quired but it was left to the operator who struck the space key and filledi in with thick or thin spaces on thx tapering matrix bars. The line Of matrix bars was then clamped to- gether, a mold was interposed be- tween the matrices and a pot of mott cn metal, which moved up to the slot in the mold, and the linotype bar was cast The line was then unclamped the matrices automatically raised to their normal positions and similar op- erations for casting the next line waSS performed.
 Describing the initial test of this lin- otype machine, July, 1884, in the Biography of Ottmar Mergenthaler and the History of the Linotype" the author explains that the spectators gathered at the shop on Bank lane in Baltimore, Maryland, before the in- ventor was ready, and had to wait 1rn- til he made some adjustments. Finally everything seemed to be ready. . MT. Mergenthaler called for the steam power to be attached;, he composed a line, removed the stopper from the metal pump, and touched the line key. Smoothly and silently the matrices slid into theiE places, were stamped and aligned, the pump discharged it's contents, a ffn- ished linotype, shining like silver, dropped from the machine and tho matrices returned again to their nor nal position. All this was the work of but fifteen seconds"
 This machine was never used com merciaily, but if cast & number of slugs, and articles were set up by this machine from which prints were taken. When it was completed the National Topographic company had high hopes that it would be a prac- tical machine, but a number of de- fects developed and it proved slow. The scheme was finally abandoned in favor of single matrix-that is, at short bar with one character stamped upon it, such as Is used today-in- stead of a long bar with the whole alphabet. The application for the pat ent was filed August 30, 1884, but was not granted until March 3, 1885.

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
Salvage.

After Government help had failed professional hull ghoul, MT. Jam2 Frazer. got on the job. His price 6t $1S,O00 was exactly one-fourth of the highest bid. But his work soon proved that he knew what he was talking about.
 It was too late to try towing the sub out. She was too deep in the sand. Also deep water was too far out She had to be lifted bodily upward. This was done with seven steel cables eacsB- two inches in diameter and having breaking strength of 40 tons. End or each cable was passed under the hull by special high power pumps squirting water through two pipes, one on each side, and slanting down to meet at the same point under the boats bottom. One pipe carried a cable with an eye in it's end; the other a hooked rod for fishing out the cable
 By driving innum merable piles stas@ ing was built for IA screw-jacks. As the boat weighed over 400 tons some idea can be got of the magnitude of the task. And all of it with tides and. breakers crashing in at the most ena- barrassing moments. Enough" ex- plained one of the assistants, 'to drive man raving mad
 But the plan succeeded. Like & great dead slug the submarine oozed slowly up, exuded from her slimy death bed, and lay clear again on the treach erous sands. Immediately heavy tackles took charge and drew her clear of the water.
 She had to be hauled more than mile overland to nearby bay. Two huge pine logs 80 feet long by not less than 40 inches in diameter were rigged under her and lashed together with cables. Wooden supports and rollers under the logs ran on a track of heavy timbers. In one day the wreck was moved 1060 feet.
 Finally after three months of ex- asperation and delay - tides and weather having made the achievement many times more difficult-the sub was launched in Humbolt Bay, Httlae the worse for her behaviour. Chamy pagne was used, but not on her bow.

Salaries for Wives.
(The Christian Herald.)

Chicago club woman wants the Federated Women's clubs to demand of the legislatures of all the state laws requiring husbands to pay their wives a salary.
 Nine-tenths of the wives of the coun- try are home women, declares the au- thor of this proposition, and have no property rights whatsoever. The hus- band can dictate just how much she shall spend. If he wants to buy pair of expensive trousers, he can do it without consulting her; but if she ''wears the trousers he reserves the right to regulate the cost.
 Manifestly this is unfair. Without money of her own to spend as she pleases, and, above all, without inde- pendence from her husbands domina- ton, a woman can never be a man among men in the wOman's clubs. She can never go gadding about to con- ventions, resolving things and de- manding the emancipation of women who don't want to be eman cipated for that sweet dependence in love which is the sacredest part of a womans na- ture. But she cannot clip her hair and split her skirts and stand before the world as an example that woman is equal to man in all thingS-nOt while she must go to her husband for permission to buy a pair of half hose or red necktie.
 Formerly urges the author of this proposition" husbands were held by beauty and sweet disposition. While those attributes were commendable, the husband today wants something more; he wants his wife to know who is mayor
 It would be interesting to have an estimate of the regular salary sup posed to be required by a woman to enable her to know who is mayor. It would be even more interesting to know why the beauty and sweet dis position that once held a husband seem now to be deemed insufficient.
 When women abandon love and their own natural graces as their in strument of power over their hus- bands, and resort to laws they had better see to it that the laws are good and strong.

Suppress Them! (Des Moines Capital.)

Before this war has gone on much longer the government of the United States will in self-defence, be com pelled to prohibit the printing of newspapers, books and pamphlets in the German language in the United States.
 If the disloyal German language newspapers are not suppressed before our wounded boys begin to come from Europe, the boys will do for the Ger man press what the boys of '61 did to the Copperhead press.
 There are people who continue to consider this war primary election. This country makes no apology to anybody for insisting upon loyalty. We are entitled to have it. We are going to have it.
 One of the first and one of the best moves should be the closing of every German language printing office in the United States.
 This is not; question of the beauti- full words of Goethe and Schiller; it is question of taking care of our homes and fresides in old U. S. A.
 Colonel Roosevelt has suggested that the German language newspapers be compelled to print their editorials in English as well as in German. That is a good suggestion, so far as it goes. But these German editors would find so-called lawful means and so- called legitimate language in which to express their treason. If this country intends to live and do busi- ness we must clean house. If we are going to have Russia in the United States we want the trouble to begin in order that the brave men of Amer ica may settle it.
 There is not a loyal German lam guage newspaper in America.

Cotton Spinning Profits.
UOndOn EcOnOmiSt)


 MT. Frederick w. Tattersall, of Manchester, has prepared an analysis of the stOck-taking results of Lanca- shire cotton spinning companies for the twelve months ending November 30, 1917. Particulars are given of fifty concerns all of which have made a profit. The total paid-up share cap- ital of the fifty companies amounts to fl 1,SS5,347, with a loan capital of f1.067,3s7. The total profits of all the mills, after paying interest on loans and allowing for depreciation, amounts to f254,236, being an average profit per company of E5085, as compared with f4034 per company in the pre- vious year. The profit on share capi- tai works out at 13.4S per cent. per annum, as compared with 11.22 per cent. per annum in 1916. The profit on share and loan capital combined is S.61 per cent. per annum, as against 7.30 per cent. per annum in the preVi- Ous year. The present total value of machinery and plant of the fifty mills amounts to f2,10S,273. The spindles in the factories total to 4,578,147. The experience of spinners during the past year has been better than in any twelve months since the beginning of the war and the trade position at the moment is more profitable than for many years back. It is expected that the stock taking results to be an- nounced at the end of this month will show very big gains.
