Roats Which Push Themselves.

Boats that push themselves along, and that can be steered without rud- ders, will soon be seen on our rivers and canals. The barges fitted with this new invention travel by means of water which they first pump up, and then force back again into the stream with sufficient power to drive the barge forward. The manner in which the water propels the barges can be regulated; and by exerting greater pressure on one side or the other the direction in which the barge Is moving may be altered at will and so the need for a rudder Is done away with. Another advantage of this meth cd of propulsion is that weeds cannot get entangled in the machinery as when screw is used. Also, very lit- tie depth of water Is required for these barges. Still another peculiar ity is claimed for this invention. It Is said that boats driven by this means will be able to travel sideways as well as forward, as the waterpower can be regulated to act in any direc- tion.

TIRE PRODUCTION
 REACHING 'N0RMALCY'

Akron, Ohio, Feb. 28.-This city which was one of the first cities in the country to sense the approaching period of business depression last summer and began reducing produc- tion accordingly, will be one of the first to feel the effects of a return to normal conditions.
 Business in the tire industry al- ready is showing improvement Each week sees a quickening of the busi- ness pulse. Orders for tires are be- ing received in larger numbers. The open winter has been a God-send to the industry, creating a demand for tires greater than in any other year. The effect of this demand is now be- coming apparent.
 Rubber manufacturers here feel that the depression will ultimately re- act to the benefit of Akron's indus trial life. They believe that the fu- ture growth of the rubber industry will be gradual and healthy. They ex- pect no sudden leap back into the peak" activity of a year ago, nor will there be lover night" expansions which brought thousands of laborers to this city as in the past.
 In announcing that the number of employees would undoubtedly be ma terially increased within the next three months, tire company executives emphasize the point that only Akron men will be taken back first. Men who have their homes here will be given first chance at the jobs. Many months will probably elapse before men from other cities can find work here.
 In commenting of the prospects for the future the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company issued the following state ment:
 Each week is showing improve ment over the week before. How long it will be before a normal status re- turns is merely matter of conjec- ture, and one persons guess is as good as another's. It is certain how ever that Spring will bring with it an increased demand for tires. We confidently believe that the last six months of the year will be nrmal.
 'In considering what the future has in store, one fact must be taken into consideration. That is, that the tire industry differs from other industries in respect to the certainty of the de- mand for it's products. Over period of time, two years for instance, the demand can be estimated to very ac- curate degree. The number of tires needed during that period will not fluctuate greatly regardless of the business conditions of the country.
 "For a time motorists may stop buying tires, using their spares and their old castings until they are worn

PRESIDENTIAL NOTES

Warren G. Harding, who takes of- flee today as the twenty-ninth presi- dent of the United States, is the first president to be elected to that high office on his birthday. He was 55 years old November 2, 1920. He is the first U. s. Senator elected to the presidency.
 President Harding is the seventh president contributed to the country by the state of Ohio. Only Virginia, with a total of eight presidents born within her borders, outranks Ohio in this regard. No president has been born west of Ohio. Nc president has resided west of Illinois.
 President Harding is the seventh president of Scotch-Irish parental an cestry. Fifteen of our presidents, over period of 133 years, have been of English descent, three of Scotch, one of Welsh and two of Dutch.
 The average age of our presidents at inauguration is 54 years, approxi- mately, while the approximate aver age at death has been 66 years.
 President Harding exemplifies the rapid rise possible in American life better than any of his predecessors. He was not included in the 1914-1915 "Who's Who."
 Like many of his predecessors also, his parents were not wealthy and he has risen to the highest office within the gift of the American people through frugality, industry and thrift, of which he is a warm exponent, as evidenced by his recent approval of the Governments Thrift and Savings work, represented in the sales of Thrift, Treasury and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi- cates.

to ribbons. The cessation of buying, however, cannot exist over a long period of time, simply because with out tires passenger cars and motor trucks are useless. Sooner or later new tires must be bought, and the longer the period of non-buying the greater the accumulative demand.
 "The Goodrich company which has been affected less than the business Hull than probably any other Akron rubber company, sees nothing but bet ter times in the outlook for the fu- ture."

 by all the statesmen and prelates in the country" exclaimed Mrs. Curfew. 'I don't want to be a sunbeam, expe- rience having taught me that can get along better and have less trouble and tribulation, when I look as much like a meatax as possible.
 "Last evening before I went to bed l was reading book called Sunshine Susan.' It was about a woman who just made up her mind to be happy no matter what happened. Then her husband was brought home with a broken leg, and the two children had number of measles simultaneously, and the house burned down, and the bank in which she had deposited her savings closed its doors, and in spite of everything she went around singing and dancing.
 eff I had thought 1t over I might have realized that 1t was too good to be true. No human woman could be gay and happy m the midst of so many calamities. But I was in a sentimental mood, and when I turned out the light and went to bed I thought that ought to be ashamed of myself for not being like Sunshine Susan, and made up my mind would turn over a new leaf first thing in the morn- ing.
 "So I came downstairs smiling, and was singing all the time was get ting breakfast, and when MT. Curfew came down he said 1t warmed up his whole being to see me in such a cheer full frame of mind. It reminded him of him of the time when I was sweet seventeen, and as pretty as a red wagon. Then he gradually drifted into a story to the effect that he had great opportunity to make the finest horse trade of his career. All he need- ed was $7 in cash to close the trans action, and he would make at least $15 by it.
 "He knew had $7 put away in the clock to buy myself some clothes I need the worst way. had saved that money, a nickel and dime at time, and was looking forward to the time when I would have enough to go shop ping and buy myself an outfit good enough for the queen of Sheba.
 MT. Curfew had been trying to bor- row my savings for long time, offer ing to give me his note as security, and before read that Sunshine Susan book I always refused him, and nearly snapped his head off doing 1t. But that morning I was anxious to make every body happy, so I handed him the money, and he went and made his horse trade and brought home an old crowbait that has been sick ever since, and he spends all his time out at the barn, feeding 1t pills and powders, and can't get him to do any of the chores around the place.
 "The same morning Mrs. Turpentine heard me singing in the back yard, and she thought 1t would be good time to borrow my patent electric washing machine, and came over for that purpose. She had asked for 1t dozen times before, but always told her to go to. Being full of sunshine on that occasion, however, told her she could have 1t and welcome, and I've never been able to use 1t since. The man who sold 1t to me says 1t will cost $6 for repairs, so you see what Sunshine Susan did to me.
 "No mister. I don't want any recipe for being a sunbeam, and you can take your book along to Mrs. Fur williger, in the yellow house across the street. She's the champion middle weight pessimist of this neighbor- hood"
