TOP MUST BE A
 PART OF THE JAR Lines of the Famous "One- Man" Should Melt Into
 Those of the Body

The first one-man top ever exhibited on an American car appeared on Cole. The original had been imported from Europe by the Cole designing staff. Since that time the one-man top has undergone many improvements to fit it tc meet modern day requirements.
 The top of today must be foldable, again and again, without impairing either it's appearance or it's usefulness. But due to the more and more popular fashion of keeping the top up perman- ently, it must also be carefully tailored and padded to present smooth con- tour it's lines melting into those of the body, making the top appear not as an afterthought accessory. but as an actual component of the car.
 A special pattern jig is set up to fit individually, each Aero-Eight for which top is, built. The bow frame is placed upon this and stretched into the exact position it is to occupy on the body.
 The interior lining of the top is made from selected extra heavy whipcord. Strips six inches wide. of long-fiber cot ton padding are securely fastened along the back, front and sides of the top encased in light duck covering. These give the Cole one-man top it's substan- tial rounded contour over the padding are stretched several lengths Of ncuvy duck webbing. This webbing serves al

Low Cost of High Flying

 We have in the United States the helium that will enable us to have the safest arships in existence At the beginning of the war helium cost s1S00 a cubic foot It has almost the same lifting power as tydrogen. but instead of being highly in- flamable it is non-explosive and non-com- bustible We should have been delighted to secure sufficient quantities of it for use in our balloons on the western front but it's high cost was prohibitive. To have used heliuin in the same QuanitN that we ueed hvdro~en would hove coe the United States thirty-six billion dol lars or more than the total of all oul liberty loans. Just before the armistice however, our scientists In Washington learned to extract helium from natural gas in Texas and Oklahoma at a cost of 1n cents a cubic foot. The first of this cheap helium was actually on the docks when the fighting stopped.

 The outside covering is either panta- |sote, patent leather or real Spanish lea ther.. It is carefully tailored to fit the individual top, the lines of fle seams to be sewed being marked out by the top maker with chalk, just as cutter marks his cloth before making a suit of clothes. The material is cut to exact shape and sewn together then nailed and sewed to the top.
 The finished Aero-Eight top is char acterized by many conveniences ana re- finements. A leather strip, sewn along the edge of the lining between the rear bows and the windshield, carries the snap fasteners for the curtains. Being attached to the lining rather than the outside top edge, no water can seep In behind the top of the curtain. The lea ther strip carrying the fasteners snaps up out of sight when the curtains are not in use.
 The bow holders at the rear are re- movable and are carried in the tool box while the top is up, nickeled filler screw being placed in their sockets. Thus another unsightly protuberance is done away with.

If the Germans had possessed the secret and had used the forethought to store up a quantity of helium for use during the war, their Zeppelins. instead of being so vulnerable to the attack of single ex- plosive bullet would have been able to accomplish their missions of destruction in England with horrible efficiency and frequency.

 A concerted campaign among the mo- tcrists of the city will do much toward stopping the bad practice of using the street as a receptacle for broken bot ties By setting the proper example and dropping a tactful word here and there much can be accomplished.

William Lester.

That William Lester has made
good in his chosen profession. and
stands high among American music
ians and composers of today. has been
common knowledge in Keokuk for
several years. But there are few IN
his home town who realize the extent
of his achievements.
During the past six years ne mas
placed many important works with the
foremost publishers in this country
and abroad. Massive choral works,
as well as numerous songs, anthems
organ and piano pieces, and part.
songs for all combinations OF
voices are now catalougued by
such first class houses as Oliver
Ditson, H. w Gray, c. Fischer, G.
Schirmer, J. Fischer & Bro, White
Smith, John Church. Breithopf and
Hartel, Clayton F. Sunny, etc., etc.
Among the young composers largest
could be mentioned "The
Tale of the Bell" a dramatic cantata
for solo, chorus and orchestra. This
fine work has been given by some OF
the foremost choral organizations in
the country, such as the Lyric club
of Fort Worth, Texas, the Bach Choral
society, of Chicago, the Rubinsten
club of New York, the Treble Clef
club of Philadelphia-and it created
a sensation at the Maine festival last
wear, when it was given by a chorus
of 1900 voices with orchestra.

TomoRRow's TROUBLE.

New York Sun: Tomorrow's trou
bile is, causing a good many of us I'M
necessary worry. Tomorrow trouble
is always much wore than today's. In
prospect it is impossible to avoid, al
wavs of a kind which permits no miti-
cation. 1t has, however, one re-
deeming quality; usually it doesn't
come to pass.
In spite of this, most OF us to meet
tomorrow trouble spend strength
and thought we need to solve properly
the problems of today. We fret about
what may happen if something else
does or does not happen. To do this
we waste energy and will power need
ed for the task at hand. We exhaust
ourselves fighting phantoms. We
grow weary battling with the conceiv-
able. and are not able to meet the &C
tual as we should. We con1ure up
a mountain of difficulties we must
climb as soon as the sun rises; we
fail to see the mole hill Of difficulty
at our feet. We trip, lose our bal
ance. fall. When the new day
dawns the mountain of difficulty has
receded into the remote future. All
we have to remember it by is the
bruise our preoccupation with it yes
terday brought to us. We might
have. been spared the bruise had we
not been nervously too farsighted.
Just as the explorer cannot conquer
the summit until he has passed over
the plain and through the foothills. so
the adventeurer in life must overcome
the obstacles which surround him be-
fore he can attack the fear-inspiring
terrors of the future. 1t is con-
soling fact that when these terrors
are faced squarely, when tomorrow's
troubles are brought into today and
tackled, they either vanish or shrink
to proportions which render them east
Iy manageable.
/ 1t is well to have foresight, but we
ought not to let foresight wear magni-
fving glasses. We should not equip it
with telescope.
The best way to meet tomorrow's
troubles is to confront today's with
singleness of purpose and entire con-
centration of the mind. The dark
form in the rear Of the enemy may be
a friend and not foe.
