THE DUTY NEXT YOU

Do the duty that lies next you. not
the one that because it is far of seems
more picturesque.
It is well-knOwn that the person
who gives his best efforts to his pres
ent work will be the man who does
the big things of life, because he will
also give his best efforts to those
The old saying that 'the rolling stone
gathers no moss" nearly always
proves true. If one leaves a job un-
finished to go to another, when he gets
what he has coveted, he will find that
it was not what he thought and will
move on to the next-and so accomp-
lish nothing. Habit is a great thing
If one does not get when young the
habit of doing his best with the job
In hand, he will not be entirely faith
tul to any trust that he has in life.
Now is time when everyone has a
loh to do. His neighbor cannot do

THE LIBERTY MOTOR

Even the most optimistic must ad
NIT that the Liberty Motor has moi
come up to expectations. But per
haps the fault has been with the ex-
pectations.
The motor was evolved under tre-
mendous pressure and its production
was Immediately started on tremend-
GUS scale. The public then assumed
that all difficulties had been over
come, and that the motor was the
panacea for all aircraft ills.
The airplane is not, however,
simple matter OF a motor. 1t is said
that a mere scratch with knife blade,
almost imperceptible to the eye, upon
its main shaft will cause it 10 break
instantly under pressure. Also, the
slightest imperfection or lack of bal
ance makes the air machine without
value.
Each engine must be adjusted to
its particular machine, and as the
motors are made in all parts of the
United States, the result was that
much adjusting had to be done. Diff |
culties began to manifest themselves,
and it was found that many minor
changes had to be made-which was
not surprising, as the aircraft field is
largely one of experimentation.
Also, and this the layman never con-
sidered at all, there are two types OF
motors, the small fighting craft and
the heavier observation one. Only for
the latter can the Liberty Motor be
used For the former Spanish motor
has been found most satisfactory
And here the authorities were perhaps
more to blame than in any large order
Tor the Spanish make. A deplorable {
lelay was the result.
However, that was not the fault OF !
he Liberty Motor, and to condemn it
S as unthinking as was the unreason-
lble belief in its power to do away
With all troubles. The motor has come
I'D to sane prediction. c

DECLINE OF THE U-BOAT

When the war began, Germany made
the boast that through her submarine
frightfulness she would bring England
to her knees in two months. The Ger
man admiralty thought that seaman
would refuse to go to sea in the face
of such a danger, and that the worlds
shipping would be locked up in port
and England starved into surrender.
1t was this belief that the U-boats
would drive shipping from the sea
that made Germany so reckless in the
matter of bringing the United States
into the war. They thought that we
could not send our troops across for
lack of transport, and they made a
statement that 100000 men was the
most that we could get across and
maintain.
We have already exceeded that num-
Der. Soon we shall have a million
there, and before this time next year,
our soldiers in France will number
100000.
We are encouraged by this, by the
activity of the American destroyers
and by the statement that there is
now in useSa device by which subma-
rines can be definitely located; also
by the British operations against Zee
brugge and Ostend, which have Grip
pied U-boat bases, and by the number
of ships that we are building.
But it is not enough to replace the
sunken ships. We need constantly in
creasing tonnage for a constantly in
creasing army. Too, Germany has
way of springing surprises on us. and
she may do it again. We must be pre-
pared for any emergency. We should
not rest upon our oars because it
seems that the submarine is declin-
ing, but should build a fleet capable
of beating the worst that the U-boats
can do for us.

"A man is considered within the new

''The minimum age limit of Is years

NEW RULE GOVERNING SALE OF
WHEAT FLOUR AND SUBSTITUTES

The United States Food Administration
rules governing the sale and purchase of
wheat flour and substitutes, up to August
81, have been rescinded. New rules
went into effect upon September l.
Persons are no longer required to
purchase an equal amount of substitutes
when buying wheat flour. One may now
purchase four pounds of wheat flour to
one pound of substitutes.
Moreover, instead of buying only
thirty days supply, one is now permitted
to lay IN supply for sixty days. All
wheatless days and meals for America
are abolished, but all bread used in this
country must correspond to the bread
to be used abroad. 1t must not exceed
80 per cent wheat.
Exact proportions for mixing vic
tory -four" are given:
Four pounds of wheat flour to one
pound of barley.
Four pounds of wheat flour to one
pound of corn flour
Eight pounds of wheat -four to one
pound of barley flour and one pound
of corn -four.
Three pounds of wheat flour to
not less than two pounds of rye -four
Whole wheat, entire wheat or gra-
ham flour or meal must contain at least
o5 per cent of the wheat berry
Dealers may sell these hours with
out accompanying substitutes, but where
straight wheat -four is sold 20 per cent
substitutes must be sold coincidentally.
Cornmeal for corn bread should be
purchased separately, as its purchase
with wheat -four would disturb the
proportions of substitutes which the
administration prescribes.
