MAKE NEW LIFEBOATS
 FROM TREATED PAPER

Some time ago notices of a collaps- ible paper lifeboat, the invention of rear admiral of the Japanese navy, ap- peared in several journals. This boat was said to weight but few pounds and could be folded up into very small compass. Upon investigation some very interesting information re- garding the paper used in the con- struction of this boat was secured
 The rear admirals invention con sists, not of a new paper, but rather of a chemical process whereby very tough fiber paper is rendered water proof This paper has been manufac- tured by the Japanese for centuries from the fiber of the mulberry tree. The paper is made up into any desired shape by cutting and cemenMng with an especially prepared adhesive; a lapped joint of one-eighth to five thir- ty-seconds of an inch has as much strength as the surrounding material.
 With the above mentioned adhesive any number of thickness can be ce- mented together and an almost unbe- lievable strength obtained. The paper is nearly as pliable as cloth and no amount of folding or crumpling seems to diminish it's strength. A hole made in the body of the paper shows less tendency to enlarge than a similar hole in cloth. When desired the paper , can be treated with an antiseptic which renders q sack made of this material capable of holding water continuously for several months.
 Owing to lack of capital the admiral

AUTO \ PASSENGER
 NDT PLEASURE CAE

Now that the war is over. there is a tendency on the part Of a few individ- uals connected with the manufacture. sale and use of passenger automobiles to resume the use Of the ter "pleams- ure car when speaking of them" says Bert O. Brown. local dealer in Cheyro- let passenger automobiles and trucks.
 Nothing could be more unjust or unruthful than to connect the name "pleasure' with as indispensable d utility as the automobile has proven to be during the past four years, es- pecially. lt is not a pleasure car. but passenger car. and it has never rightly qualified for such a misleading designation since the early days of use, when as nnnoVation radically dif- fereut from anything htheirtObeforc used for travelling purposes it was adopted by some who chose to mako Use Of its utility purely for plcasurable purposes The same Is true of railway coaches and steamships. There are @ certain number who always have and always will use them with recreative aims. Yet no one ever refers to- eveh a psrlor car as @ pleasure ear or 10 a steamship as @ pleasure boat. Then why label the automobile with such dn appellation9
 "lf the automobile. in spite Of it's util- ity. was SO high priced as to he within the reach of only a limited number, then it might rightfully he regarded sS luxury. The term pleasure car might then be used with some modifi cations But such Is not the case.

TWO LEFT OF SEVEN
 WONDERS OF WORLD
(Harfford TimesN


 Attempts have been made to list the seven wonders" of our present. day world. but without much success. There are. indeed, too many of them the puzzle being to chOoA the most important.
 The seven wonders of the ancient world were mostly architectural. Our wonders Of today are inventions.
 One might mention the flying ma Q chine. the dirigible balloon. the talking machine, the electric light. the moving picture, electric transporta ton, the telephone These are seven. to he noted offhand: hut there are so many others. one might easily enumerate 70 wonders"
 Six of the original "seven wonders of the world" were contained within territory which at the outbreak of the war was tincluding Egypt under tho sovereignty Of Turkey. The exception was the Colossus of Rhodes. gigantic statue of bronze that. according to tra . dition. straddled the harbor of that city with it's legs. between which tall masted vessels were able to pass.
 As a matter of fact it did nothing of the kind. The Colossus stood on the shore at the entrance Of the harbor. the vemenuoned city being the prin- cipal seaport of the Island of Rhodes, now belonging to Greece.
 'Frightfulness' Is nothing new in war. Of the civilizations Of past ages few structural memorials remain. be- cause of wholesale military vandalism Chiefly owing to destruction thus caused, there are now in existence only two of the ancient wonders. and these in a damaged condition-nsmeiy. the so-called vocal Memnon and the Pyra mids of Egypt. The remaining five were the Temple of Diana at Ephesus the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. the Pharos at Alexandria. the Mausoieum of Queen Artenisia and the Rhodes | Colossus.

There is nothing that creates more meriment (barring Nick Altrock) on the diamond than when the umpire behind the catcher stops a foul tip with his chest protector. The ball hits the pad and sounds like the boom of a bass drum. The fans chortle for the umps seldom is a popular man.
 But would the fans laugh if they knew the umpire had been badly hurt? Would they not, instead, admire the man who can proceed at his job when a couple of his ribs were cracked by the blow?
 It has been a secret but the secret is hereby revealed-Ollie Chill played his part on basebal's stage during two weeks of pain that at times almost forced him out of the game.

He winced with pain but continued the game. The ball had landed in one of the seams" but he didn't know his ribs were cracked un- til after the game.

So We Hear

Vernon seems to have struck some thing of barrier in Oakland, the lat ter club having scored two straight victories over the Tigers As a result, Essick's men are only half a game to the good now.
 And still that Salt Lake club con- tinues to win games. They are now in third place and going strong, only three and a half games behind the leading Tigers. The Bees are going to be a factor in the Coast league pen nant chase yet.
 If this boy Lincoln wants to retain much of a reputation as a heavy weight battler, it would seemingly be advisable for him to let Jack Dempsey do little vaudeville work. Of course every one realizes that Lincoln's chal- lenge was made merely for publicity purposes as he has no hope that Demp- sey will even think the matter over twice.
 This bout between Jack Britton and Mike ODowd, scheduled for next month, should be a real battle. Brit ton, a welterweight, will make the middleweight scale for this match,
