EDITOR DUBOIS' PLIGHT PATHETIC! Dancing Every Thursday Evening at Barksdale's Academy, IN UNION IS STRENGTH 10 PAIR TWINS TO EACH 100 BABIES THAT'S PROPORTION BORN IN U. S. AND GREAT BRITAIN, PHYSICIANS FIND Greater Number Found in Cold Countries Than in Warm Climes. In England and the United States there are ten pairs of twins among each 900 average babies born. In countries of lower latitude the proportion is considerably less; so far as the matter has been studied the relative number of twins in a warm country has been found much smaller than in a cold country. For a given proportion of the population nearly twice as many twins are born in Russia as in Spain, for example: It has been found that twins run in families, that is, the tendency to give birth to more than one child at a time is handed down from mother to daughter. If a woman has given birth to one or more sets of twins the chances are that her daughter will do likewise. In about two out of three cases twins are of the same sex. In the case of "identical", twins, however, either both are boys or both are girls. Identical twins are different, from the ordinary kind, being practically one person in duplicate and having almost a single identity, very much as if they were halves of the same individual. The mental, moral and physical attributes of the one are the same as those of the other. While the ordinary twins resemble each other more or less, identical twins usually cannot be told apart. Another peculiar is guilding characteristic of indentical twins is the extraordinarily close sympathy that exists between them, each being apparently connected with the other through some peculiar psychological medium. "Coalesced" twins, as they are called by doctors, are believed by some authorities to be identical twins who for some reason have not been fully separated from each other. Evidently in the earliest stages of their existence they were formed as a single individual, then, through some strange, unknown physiological accident, the embryo was partially separated into two parts. While comparatively rare, these physiological phenomena are by no means unfamiliar to the medical profession. Usually they die in early infancy. In this country triplets occur once in each 7,910 births and quadruplets once in each 371,125. Medical records show only twenty-nine instances in which five children have been simultaneously to one mother.—Pathfinder. TRAPPER HAS FUTURE HOME IN FAR NORTH Driven Out of Other Parts of Land, He Finds Permanent Refuge Perhaps the most romantic commercial industry in the world is the fur trade of the Hudson Bay Co. This organization of "gentlemen adventurers," as it was called at first, has opened the great northland and supplied a large part of the world's fur. Furthermore, time and civilization have not changed its ways nor rubbed the glamour of romance off its doings; for the great northland must be much the same. There are barrens and forests and mountains that civilization can never conquer. Here in the north the trapper, who has been driven out of every other part of the land, has found a permanent home. In some places railroads have carried civilization into the Hudson Bay country, and the great company has met half way by establishing motorboat lines to connect with the railroad, and more elaborate stores to sell the wares it brings. But there are other Hudson Bay posts that are so far removed from the world that it is nine years from the time the goods leave London until the furs for which they are exchanged return. Those remote little posts consist of nothing but a square factor's house, a few tents and a little wooden church where an itinerant priest holds services once a year. And all about for distances that weary the imagination to picture are frozen barrens and forests and lakes. To a white man, this is the most hospitable country in the world; but the ease with which an Indian trapper lives and travels in it is amazing THE GAZETTE What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc.

CARRY THE NEWS TO GOMPERS Local White Waiters' Union Encourages Segregation and Union Headquarters at Washington, D. C. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—The way the Negro is lynched and humiliated in the south is a wrong as great if not greater (from democratic viewpoint) than the cause of the present great world war. It is true that the loss of life in the south cannot be compared with those lost through war, because we are waging war against our allies are a tyrannical class of the German people, who have made themselves believe they are trying to do a most glorious thing. The south of this country is not tyrannized but tyrannizes, and has no excuse for its frenchish treatment of our people. Of course, the following statement only seem nothing when compared with "Kaiser BELL's wrecking crew and wreckage. Still if the Negro does his work he will be. We need lives as well as others. A year ago, late March, our waiters were put out of the Gilby Hotel. They had worked there in least three years. Two or three had been there three years. Their service was the best and every patron we had seen. They were put out by our waiter, which Negro waiters cannot join. Then, we were put out of the Colonial Hotel by the same organization. Now, the Greek, Hungarian, German, Jewish and other waiters have all the "real" hotels. Those they have not, they do not want. The application of local African American waiters to become part of the union, which was sent to the United States in 1865, has been the "real" hotel. D.C. some time ago, although it fulfilled every requirement, was "turned down" flat. Our young men are not turned down when they pass the required physical examination for the army. Samuel Gompers, president of the Federation of Labor, should know about the action of the Wailer's Union as it is one of the many branches under his jurisdiction, and he is claiming to be helping the government to promote stable among all classes of labor during the world war.

Editor: Wendling Leeson TP 1: FANGUS TENTH CAVALRY Gets into Action Down on The Border—Kill Mexico Invaders. Norvaye, Alain H. became necessary to press the famous Tenth U. S. Cavalry. After American into service in pushing the Mexicans, who sought to play barge with American citizens, in the U.S. recently, when availables the U.S. upon American service in the war, they were sent over the border, Captain J. B. Hungerford and Corporal Barney Latz were killed and several wounded. It is estimated that the Mexicans surrendered a Diss above the century mark, so deadly was the aim of our troopers. The firing lasted about one and one-half hours, and when the cavalrymen got too hot for the Mexicans they boat a heavy retreat and were members of the Tenth Cavalry was part of our soldier unit that saved Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" at San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War. 10550 EUCLID AVENUE PRUSSIANISM AND SOUTHERISM MUST BE FOUGHT NOW! Others Are Contending for Their Rights and We Must Do So Also--O! DuBois! We had hoped that the September issue of the Crisis would remove the cloud of mist that had hovered around its editor for more than two months. Instead of removing, it has plunged into deeper gloom. It seems incredible that the editor of the Crisis would be the editor of the department to have been. He seems to have moved to accept as captainy, with station in the latefederal Department of the War Department, which it now appears was never in its time. It appears that he (and the advisers who 'consoled him') moved to enter the War but with the captain and among that he should only be on channel two. Opportunity to the adopted team was up the Crisis in financial loss and accept the captainy only to be informed that present his services were not needed in that capacity as the War should not be changed its mind. This is an invasion to him. Consequently he has lost the high-powered one in the numbers he held him in. M. B. Editor W. E. B.

IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DETAILS NOT USET TO PUBLISH Says Dr. Carleton (white) in Referring to Southern Lynchings—High and Low Blood-Pressure and the Lookworm. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—Lynch "punishment without law," that is the definition. From time to time we hear of Nero Lynching in the south with all Tats, bribe and disgusting details. (The detail, not fit for publication but if any one will write one I will gladly tell all I know). The fact is no Democracy in the southern state in Texas perhaps less than in the others. In Europe the fight is on to make Democracy safe in the world but back here in many of the states there is no Democracy. Visit with me any or all of the southern states and I will show you. There is no respect for law and where that is mob law rules which is animated by a set of cowards. All mobs and mob law rules are carrying out a suicidal policy by driving the colored people to the north or elsewhere. All whites in the south have low blood-pressure. Hence have a less of from 25 to 40 per cent, in efficiency and so cannot do the best work needed, on the farms and other work of the high blood-pressure people all have work required of them and, much more efficiently than can the white people. Again, two million people in the south are infected with hookworms and that reduces very greatly their efficiency, or nearly 50 per cent. The south cannot support—itself without the help of the colored race and the north cannot afford to feed the south. At present the south is receiving from the northeast and west a thousand and a half million of food* stuffs, and as the Negro is living bill against the south will be much greater. Ninety per cent. of the food* stuffs now consumed in the south must be raised by that section. The poor south does not know how to treat the Negro rightly and justly and not far in the future will have to pay nearly for its inhuman treatment of the colored race. M. B. Carleton, M. D. Wooster, O. Oaly Afro-American Regiment in the Battles: The Colors Shot-Torn. Albany, N. Y., Sept. 9. The state flags of the old 15th (colored) Inf. Reg., and the 22d Engineers, which were carried by them when they aided in repelling the German offensive in the Champagne, will soon be unified. The flags of the state capital here have been turned to the state by these units. The flags are stained and show bullet holes. In a letter to Gov. Whitman telling of the action, Col. William Haynes (white), former Public Service Commissioner, commander of the regiment, says: "It was a tremendous party! We were proudly a part of that splendid French army which stood and slew and stood and slew more, just as wonderful Gen. Gouraud told us to, with machine guns, heavy and light artillery, grenades, gas, mines, tanks and planes, planes, the Boeche no longer came and then came war and picked them out of the front trenches we had evacuated purposefully and left full of trouble and death for them. Only the 15th and 60th were in it, and we were the only Afro-American regiment. So just imagine, if you can, our pride to read in the German communique, in General Ludendorff's petulant list of the Allied Americans' and "black Americans' We were certainly happy to be among those present." We are back in the front line again tired but contented. My officers were reduced to thirty-six at the time of the battle; four company commanders were—carried through on stretcherers. I was on crutches. The boys were splendid. The boys with the boots now. Helmets by the boots. Mauser rifles (which, by the way, they are using because they are similar to the Springfield) and thousands and thousands of rounds of ammunition, overguns and field glasses." Chairman Hays on Lynching. Under head of "Some Suggestion" in Committee With Witness Before Us" Will H. Hays, Chairman Republican - National Committee, in speaking of Lynching, says: "Lynching, under any circumstances, or conditions, is a crime. It is a crime against judgment and justice, reason and righteousness. It is an affront to the accumulated wisdom of past ages. It is a condemnation of Christianity. To resort to it can be justified on no grounds. It merits the emporiation and detestation of every high-minded citizen, and must be forever prevented in this country."

The people may ask: “Why elect a Republican Congress?” They wil certainly ask: “Why a Democratic Congress?” Has there been a sufficient secking of Republic- an co-operation in the war? Has there been a generous acceptance of the proferced service of the Repub- Tica leaders in the great matters porlaining to the conduct of the war? Has there been a full and complete utilization of the well-known capaci- ties and abilities of the Republican party and of its leaders? If there kus not been, then there has been a distinct locs to the nation. Manifest- ly whese there has been a compul- sory drafting of almost the whole physical manhood of the country. be- ‘couse it is needed, there should cer- tainly be a complete acceptance and ‘utilization of the acumen, experi- ence, and approved executive ability of a great, loyal and patriotic party. ‘The clection of a Republican Con- gress this fall would guarantee the ntilization of the talent of that party, -As it stands now it can only proffer. If, on the other hand, the Democratic Congress, or a large part hereof, has been reluctant in its ac- ‘ceptance of certain great war meas- ‘ures, notably the conscription act; if it has been dilatory in initiative; if it has been hesitant in the assuming of responsibilities; if it has voted with- out full concurrence on certain war measures and has “rubber stamped” others without enthusiasm; if it has een sectional where it should have been national; if there is general fecl- ing that it lacks in the highest ability that the great occasion demands; would it not be the part of patriotism and of wisdom to set aside the pres- ent control of Congress? For here is a basic fact. The Democratic Con- gress, its members and its leaders, was in a large degree soaked, steeped and saturated with pacifism. It was much in eamest in its desire to be kept out of war. It has been difficult, therefore, when war came, for it to enter into the spirit of war with iron purpose. They have in instances merely “gone along.” ‘The Repub- ican party has been in deadly ear- nest for the winning of the war. So much so that it has often furnished the determination and the leadership necessary to put through war meas- ures.

In the local “white” waiters’ union are men of about every race repre- sented in this country, many of whom are not even. American citizens, and yet they would segregate local Afro: ‘American waiters. The Gazette is Just as much opposed to this seerea- tion as it was, years ago, when its editor appeared befor the local “white” waiters’ union executive com- mittee and plainly told them so; alsc that the standard of intelligence among our waiters, as well as the proportion of American citizens, wa: decidedly in favor of our waiters. What local Afro-American waiters should do is to carry a fight to Sam uel Gompers, at Washington, D. C.. that will result in opening the local “white” waiters’ union to them as well as to every other race represent- ed in the membership of the organiza- tion, The foregoing is suggested by the excellent letter elsewhere in this issue sent to The Gazette by Royal A.

J., of Aug. 17, in which it was’ re ported thet several men were killed and wounded, were ascertained in an interview with Col. J. A. Marmon, gomimanding officer of the eamp, by Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the NAL A.C. P. On the night when the trouble oc- curred two colored soldiers were ejected from Y. M. C. A. 2, by two southern white’ soldiers, when’ their presence was. resented by the south- ‘ern whites, although there is no. dis- crimination allowed in any of the Y. M,C. A, buildings, and the colored soldiers had a perfect right to be there. As they left the building a chair was thrown at them. Previous to this incident there had been one or two minor clashes between soldiers ‘of both races who were quartered in ‘adjacent sections of the camp, whieh necessitated both using the same gen- eral street. ‘The white soldiers in- solved were from Mississippi, while the cotored were from Camps Dodge, ‘Taylor, Grant and Sherman. Aboui half an hour after the ejection of the two soldiers from Y. M,C. A. 2, 2 white soldier was cut by a colored soldier.’ Contrary to press accounts, he was not badly cut, nor has he died. Gol. Marmon stated that his wounds “were so trivial that it has been un- necessary for the wounded man to ap- ply at a hospital for treatment. For ‘this reason they have been unable to learn who the wounded man is, “nor has it been possible to learn who the assailant is. Shortly after thi occurrence, groups of soldiers ot both races gathered in one of the ‘camp streets and threats were passed.

TIME TO-DO IT NOW! ‘The Race Has Waited on Others and Heped Too Long—Must Do For Fi ait Sia joes ane Mak: New Albany, Ind., Sept. 12, '18, Editor’ Gazette, Dear Sir:—With great interest and pleasure, we have been reading your red-hot editorial punches. You certainly know when, Where and how to hit the evil that is affecting our race. Every Saturday We wait and wateh for sour paper “We are anxious to know what Editor Smith has to say upon the hig qies- tions that are confronting us today It is good to have somebody that you ean depend upon to take the right stand for our people. Tn the din and noise of this great world war, in our titanic preparation to fore autociacy to retire in favor of democracy, we sometimes wonder What will be the outcome of this struggle for the race. Will our cry for justice and equality, man to man, ‘be heard above this aveful carnaxe? Let us, at least, hope so and to that ‘end woak. T say hope—about all that we have ever done is to hope. There is where our great trouble lies, hop- ‘ing that the other race will give u “justice and put us upon a plain of ‘equality with them. We have yet to learn that these things do not’ come that way. No race or peoplo ever had any- ‘thing given to them that was worth while, If we get anything worth while, we must pay the price! Tt is a ‘notorions fact that we have tried, by Jollying and eajoling, to induce them ‘to give us fair play and have failed. It is about time that we adopt othe: ‘methods, We have tried by protest- ‘ing and holding: indignation meetings, ‘calling: upon them to observe the laws ‘of their own making and failed times ‘without number. After all, the ques- ‘tion that confronts us today is not what the other races are going to do with us but what we are xoing to de with and for curselves. No one else Dut ourselves can decide that ques- tion, ‘There is nothing that will im- ‘press our neighbor so favorably, as the exhibition oJ an independent spirit, ‘The big question with the white ‘race is not ony how to win the war ‘but also how to take care of the situa- tion after the war is over. Our share in the benefits of the successful pros- ecutian ef the war will be deverminod Jargely by what we have done for ourselves and. the race during. the war. A man who provides well for his own household ean be trusted to take care of others. We, as a race, in the past have been busy helping the other races to build great for- sunes for themselves and no one has given us credit for doing so. It is time now. to begin to do for our- selves and the race. Gab. Chetan: Americans Every One.

A strong raiding party, ent ting in from both sides, with the aid 01 a barrage, managed to isolate four of the allio: combat posts. In one of these posts ‘was Ticutenant A.M. Jenoe ‘of Butlev’s company, “who stopped over to light a star-shell, Five Gorman soldiers sprang upon him, He and four of his men were pulled from the trench and shoved toward the line of the Germans, long an old trench in disuse, which had been used for ‘ymiunieation purposes in No Man’s Lend. Right here is where Sergt, Butler “got onto the job.” He and txo comrades were crouching in a little ailvaneed post when the taiders, with their Ameziean prisoners ahead of thom, passed within fifty yards of them, Seeing the predicament of his liculenant, Sergeant Butler yelled, “Lock out, you bush hikers, | am eom- ing.” ‘The captured lieutenant called cut, “Hon't fire, Sergeant!” “Not vet, sir. but soon,” was the reply. This collogay, not understood by the Ger- mans sot them into a most exeited tate and thinking they had fallen into an arbuseade, they wheeled toward Ratler’s hiding place. AS the five American soldier-prisoners fell back towwrd the American fines, Lieut, Jones evicd, “Now let them have it, Scureant.”' Well did he “let them haye it.”" Butler aimed his automatic rifle se aecuvately that he killed four and badly wounded an officer who died later, besides putting a score or more to 2’ disgraceful rout, This ig why Sergeant Butler had” the Croix De Guerve bestowed upan him, recently. Butler chased them to within their own wire, and doubiless slew some more with his hand grenades. He rambled all over the sector in search of gray-green prey, returning to the combat port oniy when he was com- pletely exhausted. “Guess T just ran amuck,” he said afterward,” Lieut. Jones. whose presenee of mind won him the highest: recommendation, also received the Croix De Guerre. Aa hour after the fight Capt. John Out- water, of New York, commanding the company awainet which the raid was launched, jeard groans just beyond oar barbed wire. He érawled’ out here and. found’ a German officer with his right 21m torn elean off by Butler's bullets and otherwise wound- xd. Hetearried him into the Ameri- can trenches. Before he died the Prussian gave Capt. Outwater, who interreweted hin, in German, valuable ‘ata about the cnemy dispositions of troops. Capt. Outwater's courageous conduct gained him the War Cross.

In spite of the fact that crystal detectors play so important a part in experimentation of electrical amateurs, their use is not understood as well as it should be. There are various combinations in use. It will be found, in general, that the more sensitive a crystal is, the more readily will it lose its adjustment or "knock out" from loud signals or static. The average amateur will get more satisfaction from using a single crystal than from a combination. For example, although a perikon has many desirable characteristics, there is apt to be trouble from particles of one of the crystal rubbing off and adhering to the surface of the other. This is constantly occurring. Chalcopyrite and zincite, arsenic and silicon, and antimony and silicon are all used in combination, and are remarkably sensitive. An occasional wrist with carbon disulphide helps to remove grease and dirt from the surfaces, and often restores them to sensiteness. Carborundum is proof against all manner of knockouts, but is unfortunately not very sensitive. A stiff wrist or needle makes the best contact with this substance, and should be pressed down into it with considerable force. A battery must be used with this detector. Silicon is more sensitive than carborundum, and is correspondingly more easily knocked out by static. A light contact is required, and the efficiency is often improved by applying an exceedingly small potential. Galena is probably the most sensitive of the crystal detectors, but is hard to keep in adjustment. It is especially sensitive to static. The wire used should be as fine as possible. Certain violin and mandolin strings are wound with very fine silver wire; this wrapping is more suitable for use with galena. A minute fraction may be cut off the end of the wire from time to time, thus always insuring a clean point. Cerusite requires about the same treatment as galena. Iron pyrite works best with a firm contact and is almost as sensitive as silicon.—Popular Science Monthly. U. S. ROYALTY, VOLCANO When the Hawaiian islands decided to become a part of the United States, we acquired, besides our first royal family and our most beautiful and exotic tropic garden spot, the largest active and up-to-date 'ocano in the world. Kilauea has not been advertised like Vesuvius and Pelee, by virtue of recent destructive eruptions, nor like Popocatepeti, by a jewel of a name that would have made the fortune of anybody perspicacious to apply it to a new brand of chewing gum. Retiring by disposition, of recent years at least, and attending to business in a good natured way with only a few minor eruptions to show that he is still on the job, Kilauea needs advertising. His advantages as a volcano are many. He does not perch up at the top of an inaccessible cone, like less considerate volcanoes. He can be reached by nervous ladies in an automobile with ease and safety. He lies in a country that revels in the luxuriant vegetation of half a dozen Italian gardens. He is the ideal tourist's volcano—and his crater is nine miles across, the greatest on earth. It lies before you, a flat lifeless plain, in great smooth sweeps of lava run out and melted in long, graceful lines that are a delight to the eye. Here and there a fissure smokes reflectively, just to remind you that beneath the crust are depths unthinkable and temperatures unimaginable. The wary tourist creeps to the edge of such a fissure and toasts bits of paper on the end of a stick by the heat of the fires of hades. It is a characteristic sight. Where the crust breaks off in a pit and shows the living fire beneath, the United States government has erected a station for the study of volcanoes. Scientists peer into the giant pliess throat and make observations and take temperatures. The rain tree of Colombia measures about fifty feet high when at maturity, and about three feet in diameter at the base. It absorbs an immense quantity of moisture, from the atmosphere, which it concentrates, and subsequently sends forth from its leaves and branches in a shower, in some instances so abundantly that the ground in its vicinity is converted into aquagreie. It possesses this curious property in its greatest degree in the summer, precisely when the rivers are at their lowest and water most scarce. Instead of Building Up New Districts, Town's People Dig Out Old Ones. Pompei is the deadest of dead cities, having been thoroughly and completely killed by Mount Vesuvius, but nevertheless it is growing as fast as some enterprising town with a busy board of trade. Instead of building up new and desirable districts in Pompei, they dig out. The town can go on growing for quite a while yet if the appropriation for excavation holds up. There is something exceedingly saddening and depressing about Pompei. Even the approach seems to have been artistically designed to lead up the grand effect. The way runs between the sea on the right hand and an old and battered countryside on the left, with half ruined, run down villas set about with the curiously symmetrical Italian stone pines that look like artificial trees with too smooth perfection of form. At the very gates of the ruined city there is a great display of greenery as though nature were trying to heal the scar of what she had wrought in one of her moments of anger. Perhaps, indeed, she would have covered over the dead cities by this time with a smooth and decent manile, leaving the ruins and skeletons to slumber beneath unspected and undisturbed; but the antiquarian and the shovel gang come along to dig up the dead of another age, and the silent, empty city they have excavated is like one great tomb. Before you come to Pompeii you think that there will be something magnificently impressive about this ghost of an alien time preserved by the wrath of a volcano. It is pathetic rather then impressive, however. You can trace, or your guide in bad English will trace for you, just how the currents of that far off life flowed in the channels of every day domesticity with home and temple and tavern just as the life of today. You come expecting to view curiously the remains of a life infinitely different from your own. As you walk about the empty streets rutted by the wheels of vanished chariots, you are cast down because that life was so infinitely the same. Slight Error. A couple of sailors just returned from a long voyage strolled into the parlor of a public house. Above the rumble of the traffic in the street could be heard a very harsh and unmusical voice. After listening for a moment, one of the sailors turned to his companion and said: "Eh, Jack, lad, it's a long time since we heard that song." "What song?" "The one that fellow's singing in the street—The Light of Other Days." "Stow it!" ejaculated the other gruffly. "That fellow ain't singing! The Light of Other Days' at all. I've been listening to him; he's piping The Banks of Allan Water." Each sailor was certain that he was right, and, with characteristic contempt for money, a wager was made—a month's pay depended upon the result. "Here, Tommy," called out one of the men to the little son of the landlord, "run out and get to know what that fellow is singing." Tommy departed on his errand, which did not take many minutes. "Well," demanded Jack, "which of us is right?" "Nayhur," replied Tommy, gringing. "The fellow is not singing at all; he's hawking herrings!"—Tit-Bits. Silver Tonqued Claim Agent. Up in Minnesota Mr. Olsen had a cow killed by a railroad train. In due season the claim agent for the railroad called. "We understand, of course, that the deceased was a very doble and valuable animal," said the claim agent in his most persuasive claim-agentile manner, "and we sympathize with you and your family in your loss. But Mr. Olsen, you must remember this: Your cow had no business being upon our tracks. Those tracks are our private property, and when she invaded them she became a trespasser. Technically speaking, you, as her owner, became a trespasser also. But we have no desire to carry the issue into court, and possibly give you trouble. Now, then, what would you regard as a fair settlement between you and the railroad company?" "Vail," said Mr. Olsen slowly, "Ay brine poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall give you $2." Placing His Voice. It is not always necessary to go to a singing master to have the voice "placed," as the phrase is. So it would seem, at least, from a story that an Atlanta man tells. One cold, wet and windy night he came upon a negro of his acquaintance shivering in the doorway of a store. Wondering what the darky could be doing, standing on a cold, wet night in such a draughty position, the Atlanta man said: "Tim, what are you doing there?" "Scuse me, sir," said Jim, "but I'm swine to sing bass to-morrow mornin' at church, an I'm tryin' to ketch a cold." The Brazilian city of Bahia has replaced its telephone service with an American system. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OILIO, SEPTEMBER 14, 1918 BIRDS STILL KEEP SECRET OF FLYING Man Has Much to Learn In Aerial Navigation From Winged Tribe Although of recent years aviation has made tremendous strides, the feats of present day aviators cannot compared with those of nature's flyers in speed, endurance, lifting and sighting power, birds beat aviators every time. A common swallow, for instance, can travel in the air at the rate of 120 miles an hour. The vulture when swooping on its prey cuts through the atmosphere at nearly 150 miles an hour. Some time ago a swallow flew from Antwerp to Compiegne, a distance of 140 miles, in sixty-eight minutes, the flight being timed by observers, who returned the bird's average rate of speed at 128 miles an hour. The fastest an aeroplane has ever traveled is 108 miles an hour, and this speed was only obtained by building a little freak machine, terribly dangerous to handle. Then, again, birds can fly for twenty-four hours at a stretch without descending, even in boisterous weather. After eight or nine hours' continued flying an aviator is weared both mentally and bodily, and, if he had strong winds to fight, he is often in a state of collapse. No flyer could carry out long flights across sea and land like cuckoos, for instance, which, any naturalist will tell you, often start from English shores and find their way to Africa. At a height of 10,000 feet the earth in detail is most difficult for an aviator to see, and it is only with strong glasses that he can discern even large buildings and rivers. But, at high altitudes, hawks and kites can spy tiny lizards and field mice on the earth, for their sighting powers are twenty times stronger than those of aviators—Kansas City Star. The Motorist's Black Plague. Carbon is the "black plague of the motorist. After three or four thousands and miles the lungs of even the best-designed motor may be so thoroughly encrusted with the black deposit that it cannot be expected to deliver its full eiciency. This incrustation interferes with the proper radiation of heat, decreases the compression space so that premature ignition occurs, enters the spaces between the valves and their seats, thus causing a loss of compression and power of the explosive force, and may even curl up into points and projections which become incandescent from the heat of the motor and which thus serve as auxiliary spark plugs, igniting the mixture long before the piston has reached the top of its stroke. And for this "black plague" there are relatively as many so-called "cures" on the market as for any disease affecting the human anatomy. These are in the form of chemicals and mechanical devices which may or may not prove of benefit to the motorist, depending not only upon the individual merits but also upon the manner in which they are used. Carbon formation may be attributed to one or all of three primary causes, as follows: First, the lubricant; second, the mixture; and third, the mechanical condition of the motor. All lubricant contains carbon, otherwise it would not be a mineral oil. But this carbon is combined with hydrogen to form the "hydrocarbon" which is the general classification of all mineral fuels and lubricants. When combined in this state it does no harm, as it is only when the excess carbon is freed from the oil that it will "distill" out in the form of the deposit which proves so annoying to the motorist. Some grades of oil possess a greater amount of free or uncombined carbon than others, and these, it would seem, would be the ones which would leave the greatest amount of carbon when they are burned in the cylinders. But the nature of this carbon residue will largely determine the amount remaining in the engine, for if it is of the dry, powdery type it will blow out with each exhaust stroke, whereas if it is of the gummy, sticky kind it will accumulate on the iron surfaces and gradually harden as it is subjected to continually increasing degrees of heat. But not only should oil of the proper quality be selected, but it is important also that the lubricant should be of the correct thickness or "viscosity," as it is termed. A thin oil may be adapted to one type of motor having but infinitesimal clearance between the piston and cylinder walls, a heavier oil would be needed if this space is greater, or if the engine is to run at a higher degree of heat. For example, a motor having badly worn piston rings or scored cylinders, which permit a thin oil to pass by the piston, would smoke badly if the grade suitable to that motor when new were employed. In this case, a heavier oil than that recommended should be used to overcome the mechanical defects of the worn motor. The proper mixture to be supplied to the cylinders is also an important consideration in overcoming the carbon eve.—Leslie's. Reason. Bystander—But I don't see you questioning the umbrella's decisions, isn't that rather unusual? Chimmie—Hub! When de umpire owns de only bat, bail, glove, and musk in de neighborhood?—Puck.
