Gypsy Forsakes
Wagon For High
Speed Autos
(Bv United Press

Springfield, Ill-No more does
the Gypsy, like the Arab. pack W
his tent and steal away for the Gyp
sy of today is as modern as the
Flapper and the Sheik.
For when the Gypsy nowadays
prepares to move he ropes up his
luggage, drops the Slated doors on
his poultry and other livestock,
bundles up his bed-clothing, rolls up
his tents, rounds up the numerous
rollicking children and then
chugs away in a high powered au-
tomobile
And he does not travel in the
lowly flivver. He uses a high pric-
ed car or often three or four, de-
pending on the number in the tribe.
Mudbespattered, perhaps scaly and
bedraggled as to paint, the car may
be, but the motor is shining and
purring tune that bespeaks the
well-kept engine. Equipped with
spot lights, windshield wipers, and
all of the newest in appliances, the
caravan rolls along through cities
and villages, until likely spot for
the camp is found.
But the Gypsy, although his mode
of travel is changed, has not him
self changed. The men still wear
non descript clothing, the trousers
held up by a strap, gayly colored
shirts with perhaps a bright colored
handkerchief knotted about the
throat. The women retain their
gaudy and picturesque attire, with
beads and earrings adding a bizarre
touch to the oddly of their cos
tunes.
The children, too, are unchanged.
Usually dirty as to face, their num-
bers seemingly never decreased but
always increasing, they fill every
nook and Granny of the heavily
loaded monster cars which their
parents drive majestically along.
Central Illinois this year, it seems
has had more than her share of
these nomadic visitors. Several
days each week see a caravan chug-
ging through the streets. stopping
for the women to tell fortunes and
give home-stayers a peep into the
past, present and future" The
men, meantime, seek, perhaps not
over eagerly, odd jobs. Spring

InUentS Process
To Lock Doors
Of Freight Cars

Madison-An automatic car lock
and sealing system by which it is
hoped millions of dollars will be
saved to the railroads through
prevention of thefts has been per-
fected by a Madison man, James
Garrett, 1927 Upham street. Mr..
Garrett has obtained patent for
the invention in this country and
in Canada.
The device which is operated
by air makes it impossible to OPP
en- a box car, once it is locked, un-
til the proper pressure is arrived.
The air is btained directly from
the locomotive which carries
from 100 to 100 pounds pressure
all the time. The engineers con-
troll valve is sealed when he leaves
on his trip so that if anything is
stolen from the car it is easily
traced directly from the shipping
Office.

GIANT ENGINE
IN MILWAUKEE,
Machine, Largest Ev-
er Made in u. S., to
Be Used at Panama

acknowledgements of 4
600 horsepower Diesel engine, the
largest ever built in America, was
announced by E. c. Bayerlein, vice
president of the Ncrdberg Manu-
featuring Co. The engine was es-
pecially constructed for the Unit
ed States government for use in
the Panama canal zone.
According to Mr.. Bayerlein a
small army of workmen has been
busy for the last eight months to
complete the engine. 1t will be
placed aboard a specially con-
structed railroad car soon and ship
ped to New York to be loaded up
on an ocean vessel for its final
destination.
The weight of the engine and
generatr is more than 100000
pounds. 1t is 1914 feet high, rs
feet wide and 81 feet long.
Before shipment the engine will
be given an acceptance test which

ending with FIVE hours at full load
and one hour with 10 per cent ov-
erload. IN order to complete the
tests, according to Mr. Bayerlein,
preparations are neces-
sary. Test loads on the engine are
applied by loadin gthe generator
and facilities provided for measur-
ing tie different temperatures and
pressures. The tests will be made
under the supervision Of govern
ment engineers.
The engine is the first of three
to be built at the Nordberg plant.
Work will start Immediately on
the others, Mr.. Bayerlein said.
The three engines. when complete,
will form a unit which will gener

the real beauty of voice possessed
by a number of those who have
studied vita him and the audience
was generous with appreciative
applause at last nights program.
In addition to the numbers

sion in the hills furnishes a gate
way for the Chicago and Northwes-
tern R. R. to build it's tracks along
the North shore of the lake, where
The frowning cliffs and waters
edge grudgingly allowed just room
enough for the double track. The
rough hillsides are scanned with
crags and curious rock formations,
among which are the Turks Head,
Cleopatra's Needle, Elephant Rock,
etc. The south shore is edged
with private cottages, built before
it became a StateePark.
With our kind friends we are
luartered in a commodious cottage
with a perfect view of the lake.
Lounging on the .veranda, the sun
sinks below the hills behind us, and
it heightened shadows creep slowly
across the waters and up the hills
beyond. Later, lights appear a.
long the waters edge, reflections
from the COTTAGE windows, and a.
way to the northgthe Chateau, and
numerous campffres of tourists and
picnickers, draw long lines of light
on the smooth surface of the water.

hall at the Chateau, and the merry
aughter Of nearby belated bathers'
llone break the stiffness of the
night. We satahere till the lights

Union Song
Service Is
1. Well Attended

A union service of sacred song
at the First Methodist Episcopal
church on Sunday night was un
usually well attended. The church
auditorium was filled to capacity
and the Sunday school room and
gallery were also filled. The pro-
gram was under the direction of
Erie Faber who sang one much
appreciated number, Comfort My
People," by Handel.
A fifteen minute organ recital
by Phillip McDermott Of Chicago
opened the program Mr.. McDer-
mott is an organist of exceptional
ability and those who heard him
last night prophecy an evening of
rare enjoyment for those who
will hear him tonight in recital
with pupils of Professor Faber at
the Methodist church.
Two short addresses were on
the program of last night, the Rev.
E. G. Henke of the Presbyterian
church speaking on "The Orator
la and the Rev. j. E. Kundert of
the First NJ. E. church taking for
his subject Revival and Song"
In his discussion of the Ora
toria. Rev. Henke gave short
resume of handlers life and work.
His talk was appropriately pre-
ceded by Mr.. Faber's Handel sell
ection and followed by duet from
the Messiah. He Shall Feed His
Flock, by the Misses Ruth Nc
Gilvra and Helen Hazeltine. Rev.
Henke pointed out the religious
value of Handlers compositions in
which he has made the scripture
live, singing it into the hearts of
many people who would not be
reached by preaching.
Rev. Kundert traced the history
of song as related to revival, show
ing the prominent part which
music has taken in the work of
such world known revivalists as
Moody-and his Sankey- Alexand-
er who was accompanied by Cor
rey-and Billy Sunday, who was
helped by the songs of Rodeheav-
er. Rev. Kundert stated that the
revivals of Luther did not make
marked progress until he started
to "sing' his theosogy.
