WHAT is A "FLAPPER 2"

IN the slang of the day tiapper
is very young woman OF certain
interesting type, easily defined. We
do not, however, speak of her.
"Our concern is with tiapper of
a different sort. 1t is described by
the American Institute of Meat Pack
ers as being readily made by folding
a piece of canvas sewing ii together.
and tacking ii on swiven handle
It lookes as much like big fat razor
strop as any think else. 1t is used
in driving live stock, and it is better
than whip or a prod pole, not only
because it is more humane, but be-
cause it is the biggest sort of money
saver.
"You get the idea when you are
told that the direct loss on account
Of bruised hogs in the packing hous-
es for single year is given as $3,-
5OS,SSO. SO do not kick the animal,
nor beat it with a club, nor prod il
with Il pitchfork. Just slap II with
the tlapper, and save the money men
toned above, because it is only ma
tural TO suppose thta the packers
charge back all these losses TO the
producer And besides, it is no fun,
even to a hog, or COW critter, to
be hurt" so says Farm Life.

Memphis
When Mr. Keener clinched with
Mirick, he knocked the latter thru
a plate glass window and then beat
him up badly If bystanders had
not interferred it is probable that
Keener would have beaten Mirick to
death. Mirick was placed in Jail
later under charge of felonious
assault, but this will probably be
changed following the death of Mr..
Askew, though it is probable, under
the circumstances, he can be charg-
ed only with manslaughter.
1t is said that Mirick had been
watching his wife and Keener for
some time and that the woman had
taken rides with Keener in his auto
mobile. Both of the men formerly

 The Creek Indian nation was once one of the greatest of North Ameri- can Indian tribes. It numbered about 20,0Oo persons and owned in fee more than 5.00O.0O0 acres of Oklahoma lands from which practically all of the vast wealth derived from the oil fields of this state have been drawn. The Creeks migrated to Oklahoma from Alabama and Florida under ar engagements made in a treaty with the United States in 1881. They adopted a written constitution in 1869 and built a capitol building in Okmulgee, the capital of the nation in 1878.
 Tho Crock governmental bodies which used the council house consist ed of legislative. judicial and execu- tive branches of government. The legislative branches were the house of kings and the house of warriors made up of representatives chosen by each of the A clans or towns or the nation. The executive branch con sisted of the chief and second chief and there were the judges. a tribal treasurer and lesser offitals, all elected by the tribe at large.
 The affairs of the Creeks are now administered largely by the U. s. Bureau of Indian Affairs and the chief of the tribe is merely an hon. orarv official with a salary of $1.2OO per year. The prospective chief is a rancher and oil man and independ- entity wealthy.

AIR ROUTE MADE
Two Cuban Sportsmen Make
First Trip on Long
Flight.

A bi-monthly aerial service be-
tween New York City and Havana,
Cuba, was inaugurated last Thurs
day when two wealthy Cuban
sportsmen left the air port, New
York, on a flight to Havana in the
AerOmarine Navy siX-passehger fly
ing boat "Presidente Zayas." They
are F. Lopez de Haro and tiegario
MO7teo. With them went Miss Dona
Mobiey and Miss Gladys Carruthers
of New York.
The new flying boat is on it's way
to take part in the winter opera
tions between Key West and Havana
and is piloted by D. c. Richardson
and Richard Greisinger. 1t will make
two stops during the 1,400-mile
flight to Havana and 1t is expected
to reach the later city Saturday
morning.
The two Cubans were given a re-
markable send-off at the air port
by a large number of friends includ-
ing Roberto Hernandez. representa-
tive of the Auto Club of Mexico and
Cuba, and Fabian Garcia, represen-
tative OF the Heraldo de Cuba.
The departure of the Presidente
Zayas marks the Inauguration of q
direct flying service between New
York and Cuba which is expected
to become more frequent toward the
end of the year and may develop
into a regular weekly service.

There has been of late, consid-
cradle discussion both pro and con
in automotive circles regarding the
Birmingham No-Axle car that has
been putting over some startlingly
effective tests during the past few
weeks. The consensus of opinion Is
that the tests to which this car has
been put, place it in a class by it
self, but there arises in the mind
of some the question that If a car
having shown that it can stand up
under such severe tests, would not
one be inclined to be over confident
in its stability when using it?
To ascertain how justifiable this
fear might be. an interview was had

turers of the Birmingham No-AXle

angularity, says the American Au-

In a six-inch motor the force on
the piston at the time Of the ex-
plosion is approximately 5000
pounds. II the crank were in
straight line with the bore Of the
cylinder there would be no pres

of the cylinder. But as the crank
moves around, the thrust on the
side of the cylinder wall will in
crease almost in exact proportion
to the angularity of the connecting
rod. II this connecting rod should
reach an anglo of forty-five de-
grees, there would be 5000 pounds
of thrust on the cylinder wall.
Under normal conditions. how
ever, this thrust amounts to from
1000 to 1900 pounds only. The
weight of the piston is approx
mately six pounds. From this. it

thus the weight of the piston and

Therefore, why take a horizontal

Muffler explosions while the en-
Pine is running indicate a missing
spark plug. When the spark does
not jump regularly across the
points of the plug. the unburned
gases OF that cylinder pass into the
exhaust pipe. When this is inn
mediately followed by a flaming hot
exhaust OF the succeeding cylinder,
this unburned mixture is ignited.
The explosion actually takes place
in the exhaust pipe. though the
noise reaches the ear from the muf-
fler pigtail. AS IL is necessary for
