BEANS A MEANS
TO AID MACHINES

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10
The war department, through Major
General Squier, chief signal officer, has
contracted for the planting of larga
tracts of land in Georgia and other
Southern states in castor beans
While the humble castor bean at
first blush may not appear to have
much to do with the work of the
army signal corps, as matter of fact
| it has been found that highly refined
oil made from this bean is the only lu-
bricant which permits the air service
to get 100 per cent. efficiency out Of
the new Liberty motor.
One of the early problems develop
ed by the powerful Liberty motor was
that of finding lubricant that would
keep the bearings in perfect running
order order for a maximum Of thirty
hours. This is the ordinary working
life of a motor, after which it must be
| taken down, thoroughly overhauled
and new bearings provided
The United States bureau of stand
ards made exhaustive tests of lubri-
cants. 1t was found that almost with
out exception the oils in most COM
mon use caked, leaving the bearings
dry and in danger of cracking long
before the thirty hours period ex-
pred.
Many tests were made with refined
castor oil before it avs developed to
point where it did the work satisfac-
tC riIy.

ATLANTA SCHOOL GIRL
SELLING BABY BONDS"

ATLANTA, Ca, March 13.-Erect-
ing thrift stamp booth on the corner
of Edgewood avenue and Pryor street
in front of her fathers place of busl-
ness, little Robert Harbour, a pretty
10-year-old Atlanta school girl, is SELL
ing the little green baby bonds and
signing up war savers at rate which
promises to put her far out ahead of
Atlanta's $4,000 school children in the
great contest for commissions to be
issued by the governor, carrying mill
tary rank based on the number of saw
ers enlisted.
Little Miss Harbour spends her Sat-
urdays in front of her daddy's store,
which occupies one of the most prom
inent corners in the city, and as the
days grow longer she expects to put In
a couple of hours every afternoon.
Having worked out the territory in
the neighborhood of her home, she de-
cided to come downtown and tackle the
throngs of the business district, and
her enterprising idea has brought fine
results.

IS CAVALRY UNITS
PLANNED In AMERICA

WASHINGTON March 13.-Elever
cavalry regiments to be formed from
the national army are now being as,
sembled. Four regiments more will
be added in the near future.
1t is understood that it is the pur-
pose of the War Department to create
others, although the exact figures are
not known, out Of the second draft.
In the early days Of the national army
some cavalry officers were assigned
to field artillery regiments in an
ticipation of the great expansion that
was believed to be needed in that
branch of the service. Some of these
officers have been returned to the
cavalry.
1t is also thought probable that
some Of the commands originally ma
tional guard units of cavalry will re-
turn to that branch of the service, as
conditions in Europe indicate the need
of that class of troops. The quarter
master department is accommodating
the necessary horses for the increased
complement.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little .zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, SLIGO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pinples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zeno, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
