In his development of a rocket for
uso in warfare which was invented
by Robert H. Ooddard, professor of
physics at Clark colleg', the doctor
was acting under the patronage of
the war department, tho Smlthson
ian institution, Clark university and
Worcester Polytechnic Institute,
which is reported to bo a terrible
engine of war, with an altitude rnnge
of at least 200 miles. At tho ending
of tho war some of these wore bolus
built for trial on tho battlefield, bui
the signing of the armistice prevent
ed. The Goddard rocket Is propelled by
a perfected gas engine, installed in
the lower part of the shell, the ex
plosions which generate tho power
coming from cartridges which are
,fod Into tho chamber by a clockllkc
time device. The range of the rock
et is limited only by the amount of
propelling cartridges It could bo fit
ted to carry. The rccket does not
require a cannon to start it on its
flight, its journey being started from
any point which a man can reach.

The suggestion that the city and
the citizens of the town erect and
maintain a public library appears to
us to be a step in the right direction.
St. Helens needs such an institution.
It la not our Intention to discredit
the efforts of the public spirited
women of St. Helens through wnose
etrorts the present library is main
tained. It waa through their faith
. ful work and In rany cases, self sacri
fices that a library was made pos
sible and has been maintained. .The
burden of the work should not, how
ever, fall upon them all together
A good publis library is pust as much
the city's business as Is a public
school. Both of them are education
al Institutions and at the present
time, perhaps n'ore than ever before,
do we need ed ication
A St Helens Public Library own
ed and operatad by the city, perhaps
under the dlrestion of a committee
from the Chamber of Commerce and
the Womans Club, would add further
prestige to tho city. The idea of
having a combination rest room,
community house and library to
gether, would fill a long felt want
and the Mist hopes that a definite
plan of action in tl'.'.s rega-d avIU be
outlined and carried to a successful
culmination.
PLEADS FOR EDUCATION"
Mr. S. C. Morton,
Editor St. Helens Mist,
St. Helens, Oregon
My dear Mr. Morton:
My attention has just been called
to the hearty support which you are
giving to tho higher educational re
lief bill and I want to let you know
that it Is appreciated.
The crisis Is really acute at the
higher educational institutions and
relief must, be secured as speedily as
possible. It Is just a question, it
seems to me, as to whether Oregon
is going to take a first rate or a
second rato position in Pacific Coast
matters. A groat Immigration is
coming to the Coast, and the Btato
must be In a position to attract the
best class of families. If the higher
educational institutions are not ade
quately supported, we Bhall undoubt
edly lose to Washington and Califor
nia. The most Important argument,
however, is of course, tho duty that
we all have of taking the right care
of our own sons and daughters. Tho
statement made by Mr. Fisher, min
ister of education' in England in sup
port of a bill greatly Increasing ex
penditures for education in England
that "education is the eternal debt
which maturity owes to youth" is u
profoundly true one. In the face of
enormous war expenditures, England
mado the heaviest appropriations in
her history for popular education
It is both an investment and a safe
guard for civilization.
Again thanking you for your deep
interest and hearty support, I re
main, Very sincerely yours,
R. C. CAMPBELL.

Genuine Ford parts made by the Ford Motor Company
They are made by concerns who have no connection
whatsoever with tho Ford Motor Company. These Imi
tation parti are not even made from the same grado
of tteel, orz under the tame formulas used by the Fotd
Company. They are counterfeit parts. Tests have
shown them to break when the genuine Ford parts didn't
even bend, and they are from thirty-five to one hundred
per cent lower in quality.
The Authorized Ford Dealers are your protection. As
such, we handle nothing but the Genuine Ford parts.
They are made from the famous Ford Vanadium Steel
and each part according to Its use Is heat-treated In
the way that will give It the longest wearing qualities.
Every part Is the same as Its original In your Ford car
or Ford truck.
Our stock of parts is complete. And our Ford garago
and Ford mechanics are at your service at all times.
Drive In when replacements or repairs for your Ford
car may be necessary. Save your Ford car and also
