Automatic Transnortation.

The fastest idea in industrial rail-
ways is the plant which has been de-
signed for the Trinity Portland Cement
Co. Railway cars without passengers
and apparently running without human
energy will transfer cement rock from
the excavating pit to the crusher on a
railway haulage system. Two operators,
located where they can view the load
ing and unloading of the cars and their
movements, govern practically all the
operations of the cars. The track on
which the cars will run will be divided
into number of sections. Four motor
driven cars will ride over the track,
each propelled by two 50-horsepoWer
motors. Energy for driving the motors
will be supplied from the track and
third-rail system Thus by energizing
all the sections of the track the cars
will run from one end to the other,
The cars will be stopped by interrupt
ing the electric current to the section
on which the cars are travelling. Elec-
trio brakes, operating automatically
will stop the car when the energy sup
ply is interrupted. An interesting char
acteristic of the motors operating the
cars is that they will tend to main
tain constant speed under all circum-
stances. On down grades the motors
will act as generator and the electricity
thus generated will be fed back into the
power system, helping to operate other
cars on other sections Of the track.

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
Good for Luncheon

Cheese is an excellent food to add
to the luncheon dietary. 1t is, of
course, not to be used for luncheon
when meat is uSed-that is to say, it
ought not to be, according to what
we think nowadays of the value of
not eating too heavily of foods high
in protein. But for a substantial
luncheon dish when no. meat is served,
it is very good.
For instance, vegetable salad with
cheese Straws makes a good main
course for luncheon.
Cheese souffle, bread and butter and
raw fruit make satisfying and sensi-
BILE luncheon.
Cheese sandwiches and hot chocolate,
followed by baked apples or sliced
oranges or some seasonable fruit, make
another good combination.
Macaroni All gratin, followed by q
fruit salad, is good.

Presumably we never would have
heard of Goliath if David had not killed
him with his little stone and sling
David won immortality in more ways
than one, but Goliath had to attain 1t
by having his skull Dashed In with a
hard pebble.
Our private opinion always has been
that David got too much credit for his
victory over the big fellow. He was a
veritable crack with a slingshot, and,
consequently, he had practically the
same advantage over his opponent that
a man with rifle would have had
OF course. he took the chance Of
missing-a big chance, too, for If he
had missed things would have gone
badly with him. Goliath. apparently,
could have destroyed him with one
hand.
Samuel's account of the giant is that
he measured cubits and a span In
height. If he intended by this the cubit
of a man-from the f1ngertipS to the
elbow-this would make Goliath 8 feet
9 inches high, but according to the
cubit measure of 81 inches he would
have been IL feet inches high.
Perhaps Samuels figures were little
optimistic. Josephus did not agree with
him, and, on the whole, his conserva-
tism is the more acceptable. He places
Goliath's height at cubits and a span.
In other words, he would have him 6
feet 9 inches tall by arm measure,
which sounds reasonable.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-03

Both Samuel and Josephus agree that
he was not only tall, but enormous in
all his proportions and possessed OF ter
rife strength. The armor and weapons
he carried about prove this to be the
truth. His coat of mail weighed 5000
shekels of brass. the equivalent of 208
pounds. The staff of his spear was like
weaver'S BEAM" The head of his
spear weight 500 shekels of iron-that
is to say, about IS pounds.
David is not to be blamed for adopt
ing a method Of combat which enabled
him to keep far from Goliath's eager
reach.
Perhaps, in whatever state he now is.
Goliath mourns that he had to become
a small mans victim to achieve i'm
mortal fame. But he can reflect that he
was the butt Of stratagem; and In
gloomy moments he can read over Han
nah More's description of him In her
sacred drama of David and Goliath"
written 20 centuries after his dissolu-
| ton.
Miss More pays great tribute to Co
liath's fearful stature" his towering
head" and his great trunk, Compared
with which the amplest oak that
spreads his rugged arms in Bashan's
groves were small. Granted that his
spirit has any pride Of person at all,
he must glow with pleasure at this
poetic tribute to his manly qualifica-
lions.

sfootholds that held toughly together
under his weight.
Just behind him the girl came. She
encouraged him at every painful step.
At length he pulled himself. onto
yielding mat of greenLry about
midway up the tree and sank down
with groan. The girl clambered
up beside him.
At once she began the rigging up
of sort of splint and bandage out of
some bits of broken bark that she
tore from the tree and strips from
her one garment of altar cloth robe.
Ramon stood the excruciating pain
without whimper.
Only the great drops of sweat that
rolled up and dropped down off his
face told of the exquisite agony of
the operation. When it was done he
dropped weakly back on the swinging
matted carpet of leaves and twigs
and closed his eyes.
Dolores patted his face tenderly
and stopped to kiss him as mother
kisses her baby AS she lifted her
face faint sound struck her silent.
She sat quite still for moment
then as the sounds grew into a babel
of many voices talking in excited
gutturals in the distance she straight
ened and with eager haste started a
climb into the upper branches.
Up and up she went, hand over
hand, disregarding the pain in her
wounded arm. At length she was
high up among the thinning foliage
of the smaller branches that swayed
far out under the weight of her body
until they were tangled in the neigh
boring high branches of their fellows.
An Awesome Sight
At this point the girl loosened her
hold on the boughs of the first tree
and caught the next, and then the
next-literally travelling high above
the jungle world from tree top to tree
top.
At length when the clearer light of
treeless space filtered in among the
branches of the last tree, she dropped
lightly to lower branch and thus
descended to a level with the mid
forest where she could look out on
the smaller underground and the
short stretch of muddy beach.
Before her eyes she saw an awe
some sight. There were over a score

aof half naked persons assembled. AT
their head and apparently in author
ity was a tall, sinister figure in a
priests robe. One great shoulder
was mis-shapen, and mismated eyes
cleaned from the savage mask of his
copper skinned face.

voice.

saw the tall man turn to his follow

He ended and a great cry went up
from the fantastic group of half max
ed and painted followers. They held
aloft, each in his right hand, bunch
of arrows and in his left his bow.
Swinging them wildly in wide circles
they leaped in high, madly gyrating
bounds into the air amid a great
scattering rain of mud. AS they leap
ed they let out the most appalling
and bloodcurdling cries. The girl,
pale faced and silent waited.
The Ritual of Revenge
After a space, the noise and dane
ing ceased. The group drew to-
gether in great circle and started
to march around chanting in low
minor key. AS they marched they
passed first one arrow and then an
other, around the circle, each man to
the one ahead until it came to the
tall mis-shapen figure that led the
circling march.

Still Working the ''Buried
Treasure" Trick

} The old "doctor" had staged the
digging so that the alleged treasure
would only be a foot down when
night came. He figured, rightly,
that somebody would try to steal
the mythical treasure. If he could
give the would-be thieves a scare
and make them and everybody else
believe the place was haunted by
spirits it was likely no more digging
would be done and the crew would
never know they had been swindled.
If they went ahead with it they
would learn they had been duped,
and might have officers follow and
arrest him. He had delayed things
and held on until all of the men
had paid him.
At the regular church conference
at Attention some two or three weeks
later, Sam Turner asked Professor
j. S. Club, superintendent of the
Lincoln High School of nearby
city, who was present as delegate,
if there was any such instrument as
a genuine treasure finder.

him. Each time the arrow scared
in almost a straight line directly ov-
erhead to an incredible distance be-
fore it descended to stand quivering
upright in the black mud o. the CEN
trail part of the swinging circle.
At last ths chanting ceased. The
line of naked men stopped and faced
inward. They stood in rigid silence
for time while man might count
ten. Then a single ululating, long
drawn cry broke from their Threats
in perfect unison. 1t was answered
from the distance by single BOOM
ing drum-note.

} "There is nothing to this effect in
any book of physics I have ever
read" replied the professor. "That
is, of course, any instrument that is
susceptible to gold and silver like the
needle of the compass is susceptible
to iron and steel. I have heard
there were contrivances purported to
react to gold and silver but they are
fakes, swindles, humbugs."
1t may be stated here, in case any
one is interested, that Tom Sides
and the two men in his company
did not drown when they tumbled
down the bluff into the lake. 1t was
a case of "sink or swim, root hog or
die" so they swan out.
There is one thing Sam Turner
has never understood-just how the
old doctor" got into the excavation
while they were watching it with
out their seeing him and just how
he had produced the apparition and
the unearthly Shrek.
