Sight Hulk of Old
''Santa Claus" Ship

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The hulk of
an old ship said to resemble the old
Rouse Simmons, the Santa Claus"
ship which went down in a gale in
1912 with Is persons on board, has
been reported by the S. S. Carolina.
The remains of the old ship, be-
lieved to have been released by an
artless caprice of nature, was sight
ed in Lake Michigan few miles
from Chicago.
First reports from the Carolina
that the old weather-beaten and wa
ter-soaked hulk might be the old
Santa Claus ship brought the,
coast guard into action, but the
heavy mist hanging over , the lake
prevented locating the derelict.
1t was thought that the old hulk
might be a part of the missing
Rouse Simmons, but since seven
years have elapsed since the Christ
mas ship went down il was said
that no ship could have floated
about the lake during that time
without having been sighted.

FOLKS THRIFTY
Saved Money During Last
Year Despite High Cost Of
Living and Liberty Bond y
Loans.

Omaha people are saving more
money now than they were a year
ago, and this situation exists In spite
of the high cost of living and the
fact that two Liberty loan cam
paigns have been held during the
last year.
Total deposits in Omaha banks
September II were approximately
$26.000,000 more than on August 81.
1918, and a considerable part of
that amount represents savings &C
counts.
The banks do not keep state
ments showing the number of saw
ings accounts, nor of the average
balances, but they have information
at hand which indicates the general
situation. Many new savings ac-
counts have been opened during the
last IL months, and the total saw
ings on deposit have been naterie"v
increased.
Remember War Lesson.
"The economies which were
taught to US during the war have
not ali been forgotten" asserted H.
A. High, cashier of the State Bank
of Omaha. people who never
thought before of saving are saving
now. Our total savings accounts
are about 100000 more than a year
ago, and the accounts are more nu-
merous, but ! am unable to say how
the average balances would COM
pare. One of the far-reaching les
sons of the war was the lesson Of
preparedness, and this is reflected in
all of the savings banks"
Statements of Bankers.
R. P. Morsman of the United
States National bank expressed a
similar opinion.
II have no comparative figures at
hand" he said, "but | know that
there are more savings accounts
and that the total amount. of saw
ings has been increased during the
year. The increase has been sub
stantial, but | would not venture to
give the pes cent of growth"
r. E. Karls, cashier of the Amer
lean State bank, is convinced that.
the savings account of the Omaha
banks during the last l2-month
period have shown an increase that
is regarded as remarkable in view
of all conditions.
Increase so Per Cent.
! Our total savings, accounts has
increased approximately so per cent
during the last year, and l would
say that the number of accounts
has increased rs per cent" said Mr..
Karls. There is no questions that
the people have not forgotten the
lessons of thrift which were inn.
pressed during the period of the
war. This showing is also an ex-
cellent indication of the growing.
condition of Omaha. 1t is really
surprising, when you stop to think
of it, that people are able to save
as much as they are doing. Many
put away small but fixed amounts
each week and in the course of time
they find they have nice little
nest egg drawing interest"

Unearth Wooden Water

Boston, Sept. 20.-Wooden water
pipes, crumbling with age and long
usage, which served the Devonshire
street section of Boston with water
from the stirring times of the Revo-

though the pipes have not been in

Close behind one old pipe were
found two pennies of the coinage

NOVEL PLAN OF
'DR|vEAWAY' FOR
HEAVY TRUCKS
Train Of IL G M c Monsters
Handled by Six Men-Half
of Machines Used as
TraiIers. -.

Something new in the annals of
truck driveaways was undertaken
last week by GMC dealers from
Hooper, Neb, when six drivers
started with IL GMC trucks over
land from the GMC factory at Pom
tiac.
Truck driveaways are, by no
means, new method Of transporta-
ton for GMC dealers, and while one
driver has often piloted two GMC
trucks by mounting one of the
smaller units upon some larger
model, in this instance six of the
trucks were of a. like capacity, max
ing it impossible to use the old
method of one truck carrying the
other.
Novel Plan Used.
A rather novel plan was origi-
mated to handle this situation.
The front wheels were removed
from three of the trucks and the
front axle placed on wooden string
ers at the rear of another model
of the same type and weight. The
rear wheels of one model rested on
the ground and the front was fas-
tened to the rear axle of the first
truck with swivel, so that it could
turn. This virtually made a two
wheel trailer out of the rear truck.
Made in Six Days.
The long journey to Hooper was
made in six days actual running
time without mishap to any of the
trucks Anthony Tonberg, GMC
dealer at Hooper, on arriving at his
destination, telegraphed the factory
as follows: Arrived here this
morning in excellent shape. Could
easily have made the trip in day
or two less by hard driving. The
motors acted wonderfully we'll and
we did not have the slightest bit of
trouble. Our new method Of truck
transportation can be used without
the slightest doubt of results" y

George the official text Of the pro-
posal, the same official one, in that
same envelope which I have just
shown to you. He had previously
read it, it having been telegraphed
from Helsingfors. As he had pre-
viously read it, he Merely glanced it
over and said:
Afraid of Daily Mail.
"That is the same one I have al
ready read" and he handed it to
General SHUTS, who was across the
table, and said, General, this is of
the utmost Importance and interest
and you ought to read it right
away" General SHUTS read it i'm
mediately and said he thought it
should not be allowed to lapse; that
it was of the utmost importance.
Mr.. Lloyd George, however, said
that he did not know what he could
do with British public opinion.
He had a copy Of the Daily Mail
in his hand and he said: Gas long
as the British press is doing this
kind of thing how can you expect
me to be sensible about Russia?"
The Daily Mail was roaring and
screaming about the whole Russian
situation.
To Impress Public.
Then Mr.. Lloyd George said: "Of
course, all the reports we get from
people we sent in there are in this
same general direction, but we have
got to send in somebody who is
known to the whole world as a
complete conservative, in order to
have the whole world believe that
the report he brings out is not sim
ply the utterance of radical"
He then said: II wonder if we
could get Lansdowne to go?" Then
he Immediately corrected himself
and said: mo, it would probably
kill him." Then he said: II wish
l could send Bob Cecil, but we have
got to keep him for the league of
nations" And he said to SHUTS: at
would be splendid if you could go,
but, of course, you have got the
other job" which was going down
to Hungary. Afterwards he said he
thought the most desirable man to
send was the marquis of Salisbury,
Lord Robert Cecil's brother; that
he would be respectable enough
and we'll known enough. so that
when he came back and made the
same report, it would go down with
British public opinion. Mr.. Lloyd
George then urged me to make pub
lie my report. He-said it was abso-
lutely necessary to have publicity
given to the, actual conditions in
Russia. which he recognized were
so presented.

BABY PLANE

F. Singer has thus designated his
new machine, which he is just COM
pleting.
Fhe finished product. according to
Singer, will represent FIVE years Of
good work, although the plane is
one of the smallest ever built. 1t is
the result of Singers experiments
while working in an airplane fac
tory in the east, and from what
those who have seen it say, it WV
do all its designer claims for It.
Within Everybody's Reach.
"Too much emphasis has been
placed upon the construction OF
larger machines" says NSlinger.
what the public is interested in"
he declared, "is not a machine cost
ing $4,000 or $4,000, but a ma
chine which will solve individual
problems and which will sell on the
market within the reach of every
one. Most people could not afford
to builda hangar for an ordinary
machine, providing they had SUI
heient money to buy it and keep it
In repair"
Singers machine weighs less
than 200 pounds, has motor which
develops 22 horsepower and weighs
20 pounds wings which have no
wire braces and hence 4 minimum

Ing device which will make it posi-
bic for the owner to house it in the
ordinary garage.
Costs Less Than $500.
The approximate cost of the ma
chine is 5000 and perhaps less under
quantity production. Singer claims
the machine can be kept in yepair
for less than the ordinary motor
cycle.

D. Is the plane has tube controls
for Elevators, thereby eliminating
the danger present in most ma
chimes from the wearing and break
ing of control wires.
The machine will be able to get
Soff the ground within 200 feet under
favorable wind condition, Singer
says, and due to the slow landing
speed a plot the size of an ordi-
nary city plot free from bordering
distractions will suffice for land
ing place.
Safety is Big Feature.
With the advent of small ma.
chine Singer predicts the use of
the air machine will be greatly in
creased. All that is necessary to
bring about general use OF such a
machine, he says, is to show that
its selling price is about the same
as small automobile and to prove
that the machine is safe, which he
claims has been done with his ma
chine.
"The housing and landing prob
lens are the most difficult ones to
solve today for the individuals who
desire to own a machine" Singer
saws. With these two problems
removed aerop1anes will become: as
common as motorcycles and light
automobiles"
As soon as the machine has been
thoroughly tested, which will be
within a few days, Singer proposes
to start a factory here where he
will manufacture planes on a com
mercial basis.
