CONTRACTS LET FOR AIRSHIPS.

Secretary Daniels has awarded contracts to four American firms, for the constiuction of sixteen nonrigid dirigible airships, to be used by the. navy for coast and harbor patrol, says a dispatch from Washington. The contracts are for $6-49,250, and the specifications call for the delivery of these airships lin the remarkably quick period of 120 days after the date of contract, or by the middle of next June. The airships are the first of such type to be bought by the navy under the $5,000,000 appropriation for aeronautic machinery made available by the sixty-fourth congress. They will be 160 feet in length, 31% feet in diameter, or 50 feet high over all; will be

Under the designs drafted by naval constructors the dirigibles will be able to operate from sfiore bases, and alight on a water surface in good weather.

SPRING WHEELS WILL NOT DO.

After something like one thousand patents have been granted for a substitute for the pneumatic tire, efforts are still being made to solve the problem. Far be it from <uts to try to discourage the ingenious, but the main difficulty is that they are working upon a falefe basis. The inventor of a substitute for

the pneumatic tire should first find something that, is as light as air, as durable as air. as cheap as air, and as resilient as air. No spring ever made possesses a single one of these qualities. Springs are not permanently durable, they hare weight, they cost money, and they absorb Shock at the hub of the wheel and not at its periphery, which is a decided disadvantage.— Automobile Dealer and Repairer.

A fund of was raised at a hurriedly gathered meeting of citizens at the city hall, au»d committees appointed to undertake the work of relieving tWji whose homes had been destroyed. This fund was increased by contributions from many cities and individuals throughout Indiana. With aa ample organization perfected the most insistent need, according to J.

A call to Masonic lodges of Indiana to 4rt?ke contributions to relief funds for New Albany, Newcastle and other places affected by tornadoes was issued yesterday by Harry B. Tuthill, grand master. Mr. O’Connor made a report of the situation at New Albany to William Fortune, president of the Indianapolis Red Cross, and sum-; jmed up the situation as follows: j “Well organized ’general executive Committee, excellent group of men. and Ray Ellis, chairman relief disbursements, on my suggestion, an admirable man.

Remedies For Colds Wash a lemon, leave it whole, With the peel on, and bake like an apple until the pulp is thoroughly cooked; then cut through and scrape out the pulp and juice, rejecting skin and seeds. Sweeten with sugar, or preferably honey, and take when necessary to soothe the irritated membranes. This is an old fashioned coiigh mixture, but is still useful, and it may often be taken by persons whose digestions are up-/ set by other cough remedies. of the old time cough remedies is seed tea, sweetened and flavored with lemon and licorice. Enough flaxseed is boiled in water to make the mixture mucilaginous. It is then strained and flavored while hot with sugar, lemon the licorice. If stick licorice was used it was boiled with the flaxseed. Freckle Removers Commercial preparations for removing freckles are often injurious to the skin. The following remedies are harmless: Grate a fresh horseradish root very fine. Cover it .with fresh buttermilk. Let stand overnight. Strain through cheesecloth. Wash the face night and morning with this liquid. Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a glass. With a small brush touch the freckle with the lemon juice several times daily.

Clean Oil In Crank Case Cuts Auto Repair Bill

Commercial gasoline, as secured from the average auto filling station, contains small quantities of water, kerosene and other impurities, says the Farm and Fireside. These are usually in too small amounts to interfere with the successful running of the machine, but in time a considerable quantity of such impurities accumulates in the crank case and reduces the lubricating value of the crank case oil. The oil furthermore wears out as the result of heat, friction and • chemical disintegration. Although the instructions which come with a car advise the owner to drain off the old oil every 1,000 miles and replace with fresh oil, these instructions are not always heeded, under the false conclusion that as long as there is oil in the crank case there must be lubrication; Hence burnt out bearings, fouled spark plugs, worn cylinders and carbonized motors are the result. The inexperienced car owner sometimes prides himself on his low outlay for lubricants, little? realizing the high price he must eventually pay for a premature overhauling. Use good oil and plenty of it, drain the crank case at. least once every 1,000 miles.

Industrial concerns all over the country are insuring their workers against death, sickness, accident and old age under the group system, and insurance companies are garnering in millions of dollars in premiums. This new manifestation of the employer’s concern for the members of his industrial family may not be founded entirely on altruism. If it were it would probably revolt the self respecting worker.
