AN OLD FOOT RACE
BROUGHT TO Mind

J. C. kaufman, formerly a
prominent business man Of Yer
ington, but now an expert poultry
baron of California, is looking
over the scenes OF his former
activities.
His coming recalls to memory
a celebrated footrace which took
place in Hawthorne many years
ago between Rom Barton, a feet
footed resident of Yerington,
then Greenfield and Ben Ros-
enthal, a speedy sprinter of Haw-
thorne. A large number of sporty
Mason Valley folks accompanied
their favorite to Hawthorne and
took along lot Of money to back
their judgment as to his ability
to beat Rosentfal.
The hackers OF Barton included
Mr.. Kaufman, the late Charles
Snyder and son Salty" Fred
Fairbanks and many others. Salty
then little fellow in knicker-
bockers, had both hands full OF
twenty dollar pieces, and he was
told to bet on the Mason valley
runner. He had no trouble in
getting takers, as the Hawthorne
gains were sure of Rosenthal.
Well, Rosenthal won the race
and the visitors lost about s., 600,
Mr. kaufman being the heaviest
loser. 1t was said that he had
to "soak" his watch to get money
to pay his fare back home.

Constipation

Most laxatives and carthartics afford
only temporary relief and should be
used only for that purpose. When
YOU want permanent relief take Cham

serve the directions with each pack
age These tablets not only move the
bowels, but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

ARRANGEMENT OF MACHINERY
Negligence Of Company Docs Not
Free Employe from Blame.

The suit of Sharp VS.. Athletic Min
ing and Smelling Co. COS Southwest
ern Reporter, $3.50, recently before
the Arkansas supreme court, involved
the liability of the defendant for in
jury to an employee in it's smelling
plant. He sued for damages for per-
sonal injury claimed to have been
sustained through negligence of the
defendant company in constructing a
track and bull wheel in such close
proximity to a supporting form for a
pier of an ore drier at which plain
tiff was working, as to make his work
hazardous. He also asserted negli-
gence in starting a rabble rake with
out notice or warning to him while
he was imperiled thereby.
Granting the employing company a
new trial after verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, 1t lis held by the supreme
court that the trial judge erred in in
structing the jury as to the law of
! the case 1t is decided that, notwith-
standing any negligence on the part
of the employer, the plaintiff must be
held to have assumed the risk of be-
ing caught by the wing of the rabble
rake and injured if he knew the char
acter of his surroundings and volun-
tarily remained at work.-Engineer-
ing and Mining Journal.

Spot welding is the ordinary Amer
lean process and it is used almost en-
tirely for heavy work. The steel
plates are brought together under a
pressure of rs tons and an electric
current is sent through them until
they are welded solidly. This welding
leaves spot on the metal, hence its
name. The apparatus required for
the work is much more expensive than
that used in the arc process, but It's
action is quicker, its cost of operation
less and 1t requires less labor. Fifteen
seconds are sufficient for spot weld
lng-less time than it takes an ordin-
airy riveter to set one rivet An a ship
yard.
Electric welding would not be pos
sible of adaptation but for the use OF
ton. "A fabricated steel ship means
nothing more than that the plates fol
| the ship and for score of others
have been cut out at the same time
just in the same manner that manu-
| featuring clothier cuts out scores OF
suits at one time. The plates are cut
to an exact scale, so that the welding
| is simple matter.
| The fabricated steel ship with elec.
| trio welding means that the American
merchant marine can be increased
vastly faster at much less cost thar
| would have been possible year ago
II also, in all probability, means thu
definite passing of the wooden ship il
50 far as large vessels for ocean trad,
| are concerned.

SHIPS WITHOUT R|vETS
ELECTRICALLY WELDED
REDUCE CONSTRUCTION TIME
AND COSTS BY AT LEAST
ONE. THIRD.

A steel cargo ship. built without
rivets in about two thirds of the time
now necessary to build steel ship
and at from one-half to two-thirds OF
the present cost, Is almost certainty
in America within the next year, in
the opinion of experts OF the electric
welding committee of the emergency
fleet corporation. SO confident are
these experts that they have solved a
very important shipping problem that
they have recommended the construc-
ton of 9500-ton freight ship by the
new process, and as a preliminary test
a 42-foot amidships section of one of
the fabricated steel ships now in the
course OF construction will be put to-
gether the same wac.
The new idea, in brief, is the adap-
tation of electric Welding to ship
construction. There is nothing new in
electric welding, but the proposition
to construct ship by that means is
novel In the extreme, for 1t means that
the steel vessel will be built without
rivets. Inasmuch as between 100000
and 100000 riyets are used In the con-
struction of steel ship of today, and
as considerable skill and a great dea
Of strength are necessary 20 set these
rivets, while a one-armed man OF
even woman can successfully oper-
ate an electric welding machine, the
tremendous saving in expense anf
labor Is at once apparent. And do.
ing away with rivets will save abou
500 tons weight in a 9500-ton ship
giving just that much more cargo
space.
Electric welding has been in use II
this country for about a quarter of {
century, chiefly in railroad repal
work and other kindred tasks W'her'
II has been necessary to fuse together
pieces of metal Several years ago !
was first tried for marine use and
60-foot tug was launched at Ashta
bula, Ohio that has been in use eve
since In all kinds of weather, givint
perfect satisfaction. Early this yea
275-ton steel barge was launched IL
England and 1t was stated at the tim
that she was the first craft of her siz
ever built by the electric welding pro
cess. She has given satisfactory ser
vice.
There are two methods of electro
welding which reach the same result
One Is known as the arc process an
Is largely used in England In thi
process wire an eighth of an inc1
in diameter is brought in contact witt
the steel sheets to be welded and the
drawn far enough away to form a.
arc. This melts the wire and the met
al with which 1t comes in contact an
the molten metal is deposited in tn
Joints, fusing the plates together a
solidly as though cast in one piece.
