IDEAL METAL FOR MOTORS
German Airplanes Superior to 9th
ers Has Been Discovered.

The United States government has
learned that the success Of the Ger
mar airplanes is largely attributable
to what is known as kaiser zinn metal,
which is used for the motors. A
piece of this metal was picked up by
a British soldier who brought down a
German taube. 1t interested him so
much hat he subjected 1t to a scien-
tifc test and discovered that 1t con-
sisted of the following: Copper, 1.5S
parts; tin, 92.98 parts, and antimony,
ga parts.
This alloy, which is somewhat akin
to Britannia metal, was discovered by
the Germans aboat so years ago. They
first used it as a substitute for silver
in the making of all kinds of articles
for the dining table, never dreaming
that some day it would prove so serv-
iceable in military affairs. 1t is as
light as aluminium, has great tensile
strength and unusual resisting power.
A prominent American manufacturer
Of motors has succeeded in duplicating
this alloy perfectly, and In a short
time several thousand motors made of
1t will be ready for use. 1t is claimed
that 1t can be turned out at small ex-
pense.

AMERICA Is MAKING TILES
Decorations in Spanish, Moorish and
Other Designs of Past Centuries
Add TO Beauty of Homes.

In this country the making of tiles
has been taken up with enthusiasm by
potters. The styles vary greatly in
color and texture, showing Spanish,
Moorish, German, old English and 9TH
er designs. The interesting way in
which they may be used to decorate a
modern facade is shown in a house
on Nineteenth street, New York city.
The tiles are set Off with especial re-
inement and brilliancy by the rough
cement background.
The large panel ove the door is Of
a pleasing, medium blue color, and the
decoration is of a peacock, the whole
panel being in four parts. These were
taken from the Basilica of st. Apollin-
arts at Ravenna. Around 1t is a border
Of filing and cement and the small
tiles which ornament the ground show
two swastika forms.
One of these is copied from a tile
at Tyro, the other copied from one ex-
cavated at Persepolis. This doorway
is further enhanced by large garden
pots, one on either side. These are
made of the same materials, a gray,
negative concrete, with tiles of his
toric design In dull greens and blues
and browns imbedded In the material
of the vase. The tulip design or one
Of these vases is eighteenth century
German.

SHOULD RELY ON ARCHITECT
Common Sense Owner Will Make No
Suggestions Within Province OF
Expert, II Is Asserted.

Architects face several hard prob
lens in the construction of a house for
n new owner. The latter believes that
since the money which pays for the
house is his he must be given the lib
erty to declare what builder Is to get
the Job after all bids are In. The
owner forgets that the architect knows
more about building than he; that he
is an expert in that line and for that
reason the owner has hired him. The
common sense owner makes no sug-
gestions within the province of the
architect, but relies on his Judgment.
Should the owner be allowed his own
way, he would oftentimes get into hot
water, says an exchange.
Naturally the owner In awarding the
contract would select the lowest bid
der because he Is the lowest bidder.
The lowest bidder may not be of suf-
ficient financial means to meet obliga-
lions in Ease he is given the contract,
and mechanics liens tie up the con
struction of the house, making the
owner the loser and not the builder.
The architect, who probably knows
the builder is not the proper man to
build the house, advises against him.
In this way the architect protects his
client because he, by reason of his
work, is able to discriminate between
the INSCRIPTIONS and the scrupulous
builders, and the financially-fitted and
the builder with weak finances.

MAY HAVE BEEN INDIGESTION
indianapolis Man Is Puzzled over Pc
cullar Action of Hitherto Well
Behaved Automobile.

The accustomed peace and quiet in
the village of Woodruff Place was
harshly broken late the other evening
by a disturbance that caused A. l..
Smith, living In the East drive, to won
der what particular brand of spooks
finds lodgment In the innards of motor
cars, says the Indianapolis News.
Smith put his car in the garage at a
decent and respectable hour, turned off
the lights, locked the door, hung the
key on the nail in the kitchen and vent
to bed. But that motor car did not
seem to be fully satisfied. Perhaps
the heat and the stuffy garage had
something to do with 1t.
Whatever the nature of the bug In
der its bonnet, the troubled soul of
the automobile found voice along
about midnight. From the dark re-
cesses of the garage rose a %quavering
howl that put to shame all ROSTERS
within half a mile. Slumbering neigh
bors turned over, muttered "What the
deuce?" or other synonymous classical
references, and peered out of the
bathroom windows, while Smith, trust
ty revolver in one hand and fiashlight
in the other, padded cautiously garage
ward. Peering within, nothing ap-
peared, but the car still yelled its head
off. Advancing boldly. he commanded,
"See here, now, that's enough of this
nonsense" and stepped on the running
board, at which the car gave a final
yelp and subsidized. "Now somebody
tell me what started it," said Smith
next morning. at the caucus of neigh
bors in the alley. Sounded mighty
spoooky, anyway"

May Have Solved Old Problem.

A German scientist claims to have
solved the problem of transmitting
photographs under the ocean by cable.
His process, If successful, represents
the solution of an old problem. Photo
graphs have long been transmissible
by telegraph by the use of selenium, a
metal whose electrical resistance va
ries with the intensity of the light
striking 1t. But a similar process for
cable work has never been perfected
hitherto, because of the extreme feeble
ness Of the electric current that must
pass through thousands of miles of
wire without a relay. The new process
Is said to make use of the selenium
principle and an elaborate system of
relays at each end.

ISeall
Spiders Ride on Flies.

There is an aspect of spider and fly
relations which fabulists and natural
lists alike have overlooked. A CORE
spondent who has brought the micro
scope TO beer on many housefies, finds
that the parasite upon that hateful in
sect is often an immature spider, says
the London Chronicle. Too weak yet
TO spin its web, 1t makes the fly its
winged palfrey, and courses from place
to place at the will of it's captive; eli.

or, presumably, until the rider is able

THE UFFRAGE
AMENDMENT

The House of Representatives, by
the necessary two-thirds vote, ha
lone It's part towards amending the
federal constitution so as to give the
ballot to women on equal terms with
men. The project now goes to the
Senate, where it seems likely to be
defeated. If hat proves the case the
state legislatures will not have the
question to act on as a result of this
seasons work.
Nobody a study this vote, taken In
connection with corresponding devel-
opments elsewhere, and no conclude
that woman's suffrage is sure to come,
and that we might as well put our
house into readiness therefor. The
action of New York settled that ques-
ton. The country will not continue
indefinitely with the ballot on one
basis in the Empire state-and a
dozen others-and on a radically less
liberal scale in the rest of the country.
People constantly tell us that
woman suffrage is working badly in
this state and cite instances to sup
port their claim. This may concelv-
ably true, but we see no state repeal
ing woman suffrage. If there was
such a case in New Jersey snce. il
was so long ago as to bear no relation
to present conditions. Wyoming has
Lad woman suffrage from eally ter
ritorial days and has not reversed its
POSITION. Colorado has he'd 1t Slice
the radical era of Governor Waite,
Two decades ago. While the CentcG-
NAL state has grown more conserva-
tive, it has not on that account re-
pealed equal suffrage.
The way to judge of things in this
world is by the direction in which
they IRE moving, and not by the
length of any particular step. The
world over woman suffrage is grow
ing. The two-thirds vote in the ma
tional House recently, whatever the
motives hat may have actuated those
who contributed to it; whatever may
have been the pressure on President
Wilson. pro and con, goes on the rec
ords as a distinct victory. We can
not go into motives. All we can judge
is by the footings of the roll-call, and
on them the s~uffragists have won
something more than a preliminary
Standardization Herald.

THE KNIFE
BROKE

The rejection of an amendment to
the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment resolution, limiting the
time in which the states might ratify
it to seven years, marked the defeat
of an attempt on the part of a Demo
crat from Ohio to cucumber it so as
to accomplish it's defeat. 1t has been
contended by some of the best lawyers
in the Senate and House hat Con-
gress has no power to limit the time
in which the states may ratify a con-
stitutional amendment. If Congress
may limit the time to seven years, by
the same power they can fix the limit
at any time-seven days, it may be-
and thus practically destroy the right
of the state to act on an amendment.
Such a provision was included in the
national prohibition amendment, and
it is the hope of the a~nti-prohibi-
tionists that the supreme court will
eventually declare that Congress ex-
ceeded its authority in the matter.
The attempt of the Ohio Democrat to
embarrass the suffrage amendment by
a time limit was a palpable attempt
to kill 1t.

Mistakes In DRAINAGE.

1t has been learned by experience
as well as by experimental investiga-
ton that the influence of a tile drain
in removing water from soil Of uni
form character is increased by low
ering the drain. A drain laid at a con-
siderable depth along one side of a
road Is better than two drains at less
depth. one on each side of the road,
provided the soil is of a uniform
character. Unfortunately, this quail
flying provision In the general state
ment is often forgotten, and a single
line Of tile is laid along one side of
a road where the conditions are such
that 1t cannot possibly perform the de-
sired work. In a subsoil which changes
from sand to a compact, fairly imper-
vious clay at six feet, 1t would be I'M
wise to install drains deeper than six
feet, for otherwise they would be in
material yielding very little water. and
might even prove less effective than
drains laid at the level Of the clay
surface.

BUSINESS AT COUNTY JAIL
FALLING OFF

On Friday last the County Jail
was empty for the first time since
1906. Due to some unknown cause
the boarders at the jsil have, been
very scarce of late and from the rec
ords there must be some sort Of a
reform movement on foot in the coun-
ty as there have been very few ar
rests Of late. Perhaps we can lay
the trouble to the dry season we have
been having and the fact that the
country is growing drier every day.
We would suggest that our sheriff
advertise in some of the other sur
rounding counties and perhaps he
might be able to put the county
boarding house on paying basis
again.
