JESS WILLARD SAYS HE
IS TOO BUSY TO FIGHT

Lawrence, Kans, Nov. 22.-Arriv-
ing here today from his farm in Shaw
nee county, where he had completed
putting in 800 acres of wheat. Jess
Willard denied he had wired or writ
ten to Tex Richard about re-entering
the fighting game.
He said he wanted to see Richard
about oil and moving picture interests
which they had in common and ex-
pected him to come west in December
II am too busy to fight" was the
only answer Willard would make to
a direct question whether he planned
to enter the ring again.

Homer Acreage

The Shreveport Times of Nov,
nth states: what is reputed to be
the biggest deal in the North Louisi-
ana fields, was consumated when
George O. Baird sold his holdings n
Section "a, Township 81 Range s.
Claiborne Parish, for two million
dollars. The property involved con-
sistS of 81 acres out of Section %. An
interesting feature of the transaction
is the test run made by the purchas-
ers. Wealthy capitalists of Pittsburg
made a test run on the producing
wells now on the tract which showed
81 600 barrels in twenty-four hours"
The dispatch adds that the aver
age for each well was 1900 barrels
and the average depth of the wells
less than 1900 feet"

FIRE DESTROYS
REIDY FARM HOME

A fire which started early yesterday
morning by an explosion in the kitch-
en- range, completely destroyed the
farm home Of Fred Reidy. a farmer
residing six miles north of Grand
Forks. The explosion occurred when
Mr.. Reidy attempted to start the fire
early in the morning by pouring gas
oline onto a few live embers. The
entire house n all of its contents
were burned and the family barely
escaped in their night clothes. .
When Mr.. Reidy poured the gaso-
line onto the burning Goals. the gas
generated. caused an explosion and
ignited the entire room and Mr..
Reidy's clothing. He rushed out
doors to extinguish the flames from
his clothes. and when he returned,
the fire had spread to the other
rooms The family escaped, and with
the exception Of the baby. three weeks
old. who suffered somewhat from ex-
posture, are all safe. They were. taken
to the home of David Brown where
they are now residing, and have been
supplied with clothing. According to
Mrs. Brown any donation in clothes

ciated by the destitute family. ~

capacity. However, in practice this
theory yet is to be proved, and the
engineers will not stake their word
that the theory and practice will
'jibe." But at least, the do say, one
Of the chief objections to the new
ship has been overcome.
1t is known the concrete ship is a
better carrying medium than steel for
the transportation of oils. This is
because the concrete is oil-tight, while
steel is not. Oil also is harder to
contain than water. according to en-
gineers. The, steel plate joints Of a
steel ship allow seepages, while the
concrete is entirely tight.
As an engineering problem 1t is
agreed that the concrete ship is prac-
teal, but performance on the high
seas yet must prove it's worth as q
competitor Of the steel ship in all
lines, the engineers and builders say.
II the concrete ship proves heavier
than steel 1t will displace more water,
and more displacement means more
propulsion cost. Yet this may not
always work against the concrete
ship, because most ships cargoes are
of cubic-measlred. tons instead Of by
actual weight. Thus a concrete ship
carrying a 7.500-ton cargo Of manu-
featured goods might still be carry
ing less weight than a steel ship load

This was believed true until Wis
and his associates evolved a new mix
ture for their concrete. the chief in
gredient of which has been likened to
puffed brick that have been pulver-
lied before mixing with the binder
cement. Formerly the usual concrete
mixture weighed 145 pounds to the
cubic foot. Now the government use
a mixture weighing but 100 pounds
to the cubic foot. .,
The new mixture reduces the
weight of a %7.500-ton ship to a total
of 1900 tons.
But the lightened mixture has Gre
ated another problem and forced a
new design for the ships. Designs
had been made for a ship made from
the old mixture. Tightening the con-
crete one-third would create too
much ~freeboard above the water-line.
When empty the ship would have a
tendency to behave much like a cork.
Stresses were made different through
out the ship, the center Of gravity
was changed, and in fact, the engi-
neers say, every vital point in ship
construction vas in some way at
fected.
Because Of the hew mixture the en-
gineers can theoretically prove the
concrete shin of 1880 tons will be of
less weight than a steel ship of equal

Opinions regarding concrete ships

skill will solve when called upon to
