POWER OF SUBMARINE MINE
Small Weapon Which Will Sink Ship
Almost Instantly One Of Most
Important Coast Defenses.

Not the least important weapon for
defending our coasts and our harbors
from the attacks of hostile warships Is
the submarine mine. Though it is per-
haps the least ominous looking Of ma
val defenses, if it is once hit by an
invading warshlp its tremendous explo"
siye power will sink the ship in less
time than any other weapon could.
The shock of the striking vessel ar-
tomatically explodes the mine and the
violently expanding gases from the
powder crush in the hull Of the ship
in a twinkling.
Submarine mines are made Of an
outer caspg Of steel and an inner
charge of high explosive. A separate
chamber, containing nothing but air,
gives the mine buoyancy. The mines
are carried in small light draft boats
to the positions previously mapped out
The boat simply drops the mines with
their anchors overheard. When the
cable is all paid out the buoyant mine
will be floating about ten feet below
the waters surface.
The mines lying far outside OF
harbor contain their ignition system
within themselves, says the Popular
Science Monthly. This may be num-
Der of percussion pins placed all
around the outside of the mine. When
a ship strikes one Of these the heat OF
the impact ignites the powder Instant
ly. Or an internal ignition system
may be employed. When a ship hits
the mine it rolls it over. This re-
leases the iron ball which is ordinarily
held in a small cup In the center OF
the mine. The ball falls out OF the
cup and pulls upon string, releasing
. trigger and firing OF the charse.

WHY "RED" IS NOT SURNAME
Not Used Like Black, White and
Brown, Because It Is Modifea-
ton Of the Original Word.

Black, white and brown are common
surnames in English, but there is no
English family called Red. The for
mer names were given originally be-
cause of the complexion Of the persons
who received them. It seems strange
that in a people among whom red
heads were common none should have
acquired the name "Red," especially
as this is frequently bestowed as a
nickname.
The Century Dictionary explains this
as follows:
"Red, like lead (led), with which 1t
is phonetically parallel, had in Middle
English a long vowel, which has be-
come shortened. The long vowel re-
mains, however, in the surnames Read,
Reade, Reed, Reid, which represent
old forms of the adjective, and the ex-
istence Of which as surnames explains
the almost total absence Of the expect
ed surname, Red, parallel to Black
Brown, White, ETC."
The equivalent Of "red' in foreign
languages is just as common sur
name as are the equivalents of "black,"
"white'' and "brown," for the reason
that in them there has been no modi-
fication of the original word. In French
we find 'Lenoir, Leblanc, Lebrun and
Leroux; in German, Schwartz, Weiss.
Braun and Roth; in Italian, Neri, Bian-
chi, Bruni and Rossi; in Spanish, Ne
gro, Blanco, Moreno and Rojo as the
corresponding surnames.

Like Brothers and Sisters.
Mrs. Miller's success in maintain
ing her garden of Persian cats is
due to an untiring care for them.
Ever since she was a child, family
pets, such as dog or a cat, have
kept her interested. An incident is
related of her love for pets: When
Mrs. Miller was child, S years old,
she was asked this question by a
man who CHANGED to be delivering
coal to her home: Have you any
brothers, little g;rl?" "Sure, l have"
she replied. "A brother. Fido, and a
sister, Tabby,"
That was the beginning of Mrs.
Miller's interest in family pets. To
her 7-year-old daughter, Winifred,
shown in the picture, is due the
credit of the beginning of the Miller
cattery. Mrs. Miller first became
interested in raising Persian cats
three years ago when her daughter,

Columbia Motor Company
Forced to Add to Factory

The question-"How is the auto
mobile business?"-is being asked
this spring by thousands of people
both in it and out of it.
In view of the tremendous pro-
portions in which the business has
grown in the past three years, the
subject is of vital importance to a
very large percentage of the popula-
ton of the country.
One answer to the question ap-
peared several times in the Detroit
papers during the past week, in the
shape of a display advertisement
run by the Columbia Motors COM
pany, manufacturers of the Colum-
bia Six, advertising for 100000
square feet Of additional floor space.
1t seems that the Columbia Mo-
tors company have made all plans
for the erection of new plant,
which they will get into next fall.
But the demands for automobiles
this spring have far exceeded their
calculations and have made it neces-
sary for them to get additional space
immediately.

TRUE WORTH OF.
CARS WILL TELL
| SAYS RUESCHAW
Mitchell Executive Explains
Why New Victory Model
\ Is Making Such a
Hit.

Its Only question Of value for
the money" said Vice President R.
c. Rueschaw of the Mitchell Motors
company, Inc, of Racine, Wis,
when questioned by reporter
about the wonderful impression
made by the New Mitchell Skies.
Eighteen months ago we decided
that the one way to put the Mitchell
on the map at the head of its class
was to give the buyer an unheard
of value for his money. We did it,
and the result is this stampede to
the new Victory model"
a"By the greatest value, don't
mean the biggest car or the shiniest
car for the money! A long wheel
base and shiny coat of paint are
cheap and easy to turn out But
the public isn't fooled long and they
soon find out what's under the
paint
"The car that has endurance. in
chassis and body, the car that has
economy, that has ease of handling,
and comfort of riding, such a car at
a reasonable price is what consider
good value. We have built that
kind Of car in the New Mitchell
Six"
"And after it was all built, tested
out and finally approved as being the
best car we knew how to turn out,
then-and not before then-we sat
down and figured out the cost. The
narrowest margin which sound bus
mess would permit was added to the
cost and as result we have q de-
gree of value for the money that is
unique in my experience"
Human nature is human nature"
concluded Mr.. Rueschaw, Whether
you are merchandising buttons or
battleships. People will go to the
shop where they can get the most
for their money just as surely as
water seeks its own level. They get
the most for their moncy-highest
value-in the New Victory model.
So after all it isn't surprising that it
lis the preferred car this wear"

Lexington Tourabout
Is Recent Creation

The Lexington Tourabout." the
Lexington Motor company's latest
creation, is among the really new
models, asserts w. L. Killy of the
Noyes-Killy Motor company.
The "Tourabout" is a rakish-look-
ing car, just unconventional enough
to be distinctive, but retaining the
comforts of the larger touring
models. 1t has a capacity of FIVE
passengers. 1t boasts a 122-inch
wheel base and 56-inch semi-elliptic
rear springs, which combine in max
ing it comfortable riding car.
The "Tourabout' is equipped with
all the Lexington engineering fea-
lures. The Moore multiple exhaust
system, an exclusive feature, affords
an increase of 22,8 per cent in horse
power and materially reduces fuel
consumption, thereby insuring nom
iral running cost. The one
finger emergency" brake, controlled
by a lever readily accessible to the
hand, is ..-lrance against accidents.

FASTEST AUTO
IN WHOLE WORLD
IS IN JUNK Pile
Barney 0Idfield's Famous
Christie Was the FIeeteSt
Of Its, Generation;
Wicked Old Freak.

Cleveland, April 20. - When
Barney Oldfield retired from rae
ing to enter the manufacturing field
at the head of the Oidfield Tire
company, one of his first acts was
to reduce to junk the famous old
Christie racing car that had served
tor som any years as his pet war
horse.
For distances up to two miles,
the Christie was probably the fast
est car of its generation. 1t car
ricd to the boneyard the official
worlds speedway records up to two
miles, as we'll as the record for one
lap. on the Indianapolis speedway
time l:27.40. Its total Of state and
track records mounted we'll into the
scores.
Headstrong and Treacherous.
Due to its unique construction the
Christie was undoubtedly the most
whimsical, as we'll as the most dan
gerous of speed cars.
Its front wheels keyed solidly to
their axle which also served as the
crankshaft of the engine. This con-
struction permitted no differential,
thus making it necessary for both
wheels to turn at the same rate, re-
CARELESS of the direction in which
they might be pointed.
When a front tire collapsed, the
driver lost all control and the car
either somersaulted or turned off
sharply and rolled over several
times.
Because of its bloody record the
Christie had lain for several years,
virtually abandoned in leaky shed
where Mr.. Oldfield found it and
bought it for $780,
The master Driver" Immediately
proceeded to give the car infinitely
more severe use than any of hij i'll
fated predecessors, yet it was always
well behaved in his service and only
the pilots close friends knew that
lie was deliberately placing his life
in peril every time he drove it.
Watched His Tires.
Barney made the Christie's tires
his especial study. He INDUCED in
uOle Vi MS tliC experiments WIN
this car. 1t was given the best
tried and tested tire equipment at
his command. Whether or not he
could have survived the bursting of
one of the Christie's tires remains
forever an unsolved mystery, for no
tire ever burst under him.
Repeatedly warned that the
Christie would get" him, Barney's
only concession was to hold it in
reserve. When strenuous measures
were needed, however, he would al
ways call on the fleet old freak.
Crankless--it had to be started by
= towline; clutchless-there was no
way Of stopping it except by stop
ping the motor-the gigantic two
cylinder engine would begin its de-
liberate succession of bangs, and the
wicked old car would spring into its
hair-raising dash.
incidentally, the Christie proved
Z veritable gold mine for the junk
men who resold the bronze and
bearings alone for $3.50.

Corn That Bought Car
In 1918 BuvS Car TODAY

It is far cry from the old days
of barter and trade to the present
system of commercial exchange.
Today corn, steers and alfalfa are
transmitted into dollars, which, in
turn, are exchanged into automo-
biles, sewing machines and reapers.
The dollar, originally intended as
the idle wheel of trade, has now be-
come the governor. When the dol
lar shirks in value distributors are
prone to say that the price of auto
mobiles, sewing machines and reap
ers has risen, and vice versa.
1t remained for an astute Cadillac
distributor of the middle west to
point out the fallacy of such talk.
A few days ago a farmer walked
into the salesroom of this distribu-
tor, who had sold him a Cadillac
six years ago. The farmer asked
the price of the current model.
''Whew!" said the farmer. "You
want $500 more for this car than
| paid for the one / bought in 1918.
1t will cost me a carload of steers"
