Judged acceptable by the society. individuals dis
tinguished for their patriotism were to be adj
mtted as honorary members for life and the
state branches always to meet on the
Fourth of July, while the general society was
to meet every third year on the anniversary OF
It's founding, May 10, 1888
1t was agreed at the first meeting that In or
der to secure the fund for the desired relief of
the widows and orphans that all the officers
should contribute full months salary, as soon
as congress appropriated an equal amount. This
would make very considerable pension fund.-
the interest which alone was to be expended.
Strange as 1t may seem, the organization of
this patriotic and fraternal organization soon
became the object Of bitter denuncaton by
large number of citizens of the new nation. The
first mistake on the part OF Its founders had
been In limiting the membership to officers both
native and foreign Unlike the G. A. r., which
followed the Civil war, and the American Lee
gion which followed the World war, the Society
OF the Cincinnati did not include In its member
shin the common soldier.
Then the memberships were made hereditary,
to pass down to posterty by the rule Of prim-
ogenlture, and In this provision the patriots
detected move toward the perpetuaton of
military aristocracy." And then, to cap the
climax there was the golden decoration" which
went with a membership. We're not such deco
rations of the very essence of the Old world feu-
da1 aristocracy?
So In spite of the fact that the great "Tather
of Our Country vouched for the patriotic spirit
of the new society and honored 1t by becoming
Its first president, the tribunes of the people
ragged against 1t and acclaimed against 1t as an
insidious influence to such extent that the
time came when 1t was as much as a mans
political life was worth to appear In public
with the insignia of the Cincinnati pinned to
his bosom. France, just swinging into Its bloody
revolutionary period took hand in the fight
and even the great Mirabeau Numbered against
the Cincinnati and warned the young Republic
against its dangerous tendencies.
The young Republic was quite willing to believe
him. 1t was not only the tavern orators and
the political pamphleteers that pitched into it.
not merely the rabid republican followers Of
Jefferson who viewed 1t as a dangerous menace
to the Republics new observation-disclosures of the
most conservative statesmen and publicists OF
the time raised their voices and employed their
pens against 1t.
Jefferson was publicly hostile to It, Benjamin

court of France. wrote home ridcnling the pur-
poses of the society as an attempt to form an

Since the storm Is then six miles

Benjamin Franklin, though prob
ably not the first to suggest that
lightning was electrical In Its nature
was the first to suggest a reasonable
mechanism for lightning.
He first suggested that lightning
resembled an electric discharge In
November, 1749. In 1850, he speaks
of "the fire of electricity and that OF

NOT HARD TO TIME
TRAVEL OF STORM
Simple Way to Estimate Its
Approach.

Two questions enter most peoples
minds at the approach Of a thunder
storm. One is how fast the storm
is approaching. The other Is the dis
lance away of the lightning flashes.
It is easy to estimate the distance
from the observer at which flash
of lightning has taken place by
counting the seconds which elapse
between the sight of the flash and
the sound of the accompanying thun-
der.
Light travels with speed of 1885,
900 mile a second. A beam of light
could encircle the earth's equator
seven times In less than a second
For all practical purposes, therefore
the observer may assume that he
sees the lightning flash at practically
the second 1t occurs.
Sound, on the other hand, travels
much more slowly than does light
The speed of sound is measured In
feet rather than in miles. Its speed
is about 1,066 feet per second.
This means, therefore, that If you
hear the thunder one second after
you see the flash, the flash took
place LOGS feet away. Since the
method is fairly crude, 1t may be
assumed for the sake OF simplicity
that every second elapsed denotes
1000 feet. Therefore. II you count
three seconds Z between flash ant
thunder, the flash was 5000 feet away.
Estimating the distance away o.
the lightning flashes will help one tt
estimate how fast the storm is up
preaching. Obviously, as the storm
draws nearer, the elapsed time be
tween flashes and thunder will grow
shorter and shorter. g.
Occasionally thunder may be heart
when the storm Is ten miles away
In that case the lapse Of time be
tween the flash and the sound woult
be fifty seconds

Is to ascertain It's course. II TIL

Only One Other in Country
SpeciaIizes in Same
Type of Work.

A super suction turnbler for dry
ing and removing odor from cleaned
garments is a recent improvement of
the WaSh-Rite Laundry, 1412 Cor
nell avenue.
The laundry, started in 1919 as a
family wash and industrial plant,
was converted in 1924 to the clean
ing of overalls and industrial rags,
exclusively.
To care for this business, the
laundry installed Holland Writ dry
cleaning machinery, known as the
continuous flow system, used by only
one other laundry in the United
States for cleaning overalls.
In changing from washing to dry
cleaning, George Fry. president of
the laundry, explains shrinking and
fading were eliminated and life OF
garments heightened.
According to Fry, ordinary wash
ing thirty or thirty-f1ve times wears
out overallS, whereas the dry
cleaning method can be used 90 to
100 times.
With the continuous flow system,
the cleaning fluid is used over and
over, the only loss being due to
evaporation.
Three tanks comprise the system
at the Wash-Rite plant, and $50
pairs of overallS can be cleaned at
one operation.

used day and night to haul tons OF
rock and dirt blasted from the cam
yon sides. In all, with the heat, the
roads and the loads, the tires used
must stand more punishment than
can be given on any man-made tire

1T is interesting to note that
elly-Springfield tires are now be-
ing used in the Boulder Dam prof.
ect. When the work was in its
early stages, several makes of tires
were employed and their lasting
power checked. However, Kellys

and are now being used almost eX-
clusively."

Largest August Business in
Three Years Claimed by
Graham-Paige.

BIZ Times Special
DETROIT, Sept. 1.-THE largest
August business in three years was
reported today by Robert C. Graz
ham, executive vice-president of the
Graham-Paige Motors Corporation.
Graham shipments reached the
largest volume in three years. Ex-
port business showed a marked in
crease, while retail deliveries Of
Graham cars in Wayne county de-
troi0, the infallible sales barometer
of the motorcar industry. were more
than double those in July, Graham
said.
Factory shipments during the
month totaled 1854 cars. are third
largest total for the year to date.
The total was virtually 90 per cent
greater thar the 1858 cars shipped
in August, 1882, and almost 70 per
cent more than the 744 cars shipped
in August, 1881. Export shipments
were So per cent in excess of those
in August last year, indicating
marked improvement in Graham
business abroad.
Normally, August is a month of
diminishing volume for the auto
motive industry" said Graham.
The past month, however, reversed
the usual trend in a most encour-
aging manner. There is no deny
ing the fact that national recovery
is well under way and the record
in August augurs we'll for our BUSH
ness during the balance of the

City Dealer Says Strain Is
Toughest in World
for Endurance.

The toughest place in the world
for tires" was described here today
by Hollis Nay, tire and auto supply
dealer, 1913 Kentucky avenue. His
company is the local Kelly Spring
field tire dealer. According to Nay,
this is Boulder City, New, where the
gigantic Boulder Dam is being built
to harness the power of the Colo
RADIO river.
Boulder DAM" he declared,
combines everything that the most
imaginative automotive engineer
could think of to give a grueling
test to tires. The heat of the place
is terrific. From the bare, rocky
canyon sides the glare of the sun
is magnified on to the roadwayS
used by the huge trucks.
The roads themselves, in addi-
ton to being intensely hot from
this focused sunlight, are merciless
on tires. They are winding and
steep. requiring strenuous brsking.
To top these things off, the tires
must bear tremendous weight.

CUT IN PRICE OF
STEEL RAILS IS
ROOSEVELT AIM
Reduction Would Result in
Large Sales, View of
President.

By Scripps-H Ocdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is using his own i'm
mense influence to bring down the
prices Of steel rails, maintained by
the steelmasters over a long period
Of years while other prices have
gone steadily downward.
He and his Public Works Admin
istrator, Harold L. Ickes, are working
on plan to advance a large sum
of money to railroads to bring their
plant and equipment up to date, but
this loan is dependent upon the
steel companies reducing rail prices.
Since the railroads are ready to
cooperate, the issue is directly up
to the steelmasters, with whom Mr..
Roosevelt said he expected to talk.
This latest development in the
long light against maintenance of
steel rail prices is in addition to the
ObNP Az COcDG CclA ~ 4doO WOCh,
when it was reported that the gov
eminent would exert further pres
sure on railroads to borrow and
spend public works money for main
tenance.
This pressure is being eXerted for
two reasons: to provide work for
part of the approximately 10000
railroad men now unemployed; and
to maintain the safety of the car
riers.
The three recent railroad wrecks
resulted in some demand for further
expenditures for maintenance. But
before they occurred, Joseph East
man, federal co-ordinator of rail-
roads, appealed to arrangements to
borrow public works money to put
men back to work.
The President said he had dis
cussed the matter with Eastman,
who time and again has condemned
the stupidity" Of the pegging of
these prices.
1t has been estimated that as
much as a billion dollars could be
spent by the carriers in rehabilitat-
ing their roadbeds, bridges, locomo-
tives, freight and passenger cars.
