Norfolk Bidè Fair to Break all Rec- ords at Her Present Rate of Progress. Not Only That, but Enormoui Number Many Tillamook Women are Learn- A true incident that reveals the re- spect shown by allied aviators for the memory of a daring enemy flier is told in "Tam o’ the Scoots,” by Edgar Wnl- lace, writing in Everybody’s. Tam, an Intrepid Scotchman, was told that the man he had brought down the day be fore was a well-known German aviator named Von Zeldlltz, and on behalf of the Royal Flying corps, Tam was se lected to take h wreath to the funeral. "The wreath in n tin box, firmly corded and attached to a little para chute. wns placed In the ftisllnge of a small Morane—his own machine being In the hands of the mechanics—and Tam climbed Into the seat, In five minutes he was pushing up at the stet p angle which represented the ex frame angle nt which n man can fly- Tam never employed a lesser one. "Evidently the enemy scout realized the business of this lone British flyer mid must have signaled hl.s views to the earth, for the antiaircraft bat teries suddenly censed fire, and when, approaching I.udezeel. Tam sighted tin enemy squadron engaged In a practice flight, they opened out and made way for him. offering no molestation. “Tam began to plane down. He spotted the hlg white-speckled ceme tery and saw a little procession mak ing Its way to the grounds. He came down tn a thousand feet and dropped his parachute. lie saw it open and sail earthward and then someone on the ground waved a white handker chief. “‘Guld,’ said Tam." There Is not a city In this country, perhaps none tn the world, that Is growing nt n more rapid rate than Nor folk.” remarked G. IV. Sizer, manager of one of the leading hotels of that city, at the Raleigh, the Washington Post states. "The last census gave the population of Norfolk a» less than 70.900. Today It is estimated that Nor folk is a city of 140.000, or more than double the size it was in 1910. Wash ington prides Itself on the tremendous growth attained in the last tw" or three years. I take considerable pride in the growth of Washington, for I lived here ninny years, but the pro- isirtlonate increase In the population of the national capital cannot compare with that of Norfolk. (If course, both cities are helped by war business. Washington, I presume, Is tlie busiest city in the world, but Norfolk Is al most next. "Hampton Roads Is filled with ships. Battleships are passing in and out every hour, and soldiers and sailors are filling the streets, hotels and resi dences of Norfolk. Only recently I saw some 2,000 soldiers from New Zea land parading through the streets of Norfolk. Many of them were not young. New Zealand already lias sent close to 150.000 men to the front In France, and Belgium, out of a popu lation of 1.500,000, mid is still sending men, which should be an object les son to us. “Business Is booming In Norfolk ns never before. The hotels are filled to overflowing just ns they nre in Wash ington, New business blocks nre go ing up and the residence sections of the city are being extended far into the outlying districts. I venture to say that in another decade Norfolk will come close to being the leading city in the Gid Dominion, both in population and Importance.” The largest single Item tn the labor of fabricating a steel ship Is in the riveting of her hull; therefore the driving of rivets Is taken as u standard of size and of progress by most of the shipbuilders. To build a 10.000 ton ship a week means the driving of about 650.000 rivets in that time. The Union shipyards of Sun Francisco, ns at present equipped and freed from la bor troubles, can drive about 300,000 rivets, although lu a record week it drove 411.000 rivets; the four next largest yards in America—at Fore Riv er, Mass., at Newport News. Va.. at Canulen. and at Philadelphia upon the Delaware—can drive 200,000 to 275.000 rivets a week each. A half dozen smaller steel shipyards will drive from 50.000 to 150,000 each seven days. Riveting, despite ail the inventions devised to speed it up, remains hand work anil slow work. A riveting gang consists of two men mid two boys— the riveter, his "holder-on," the passer boy and the heater boy. The gang drives from 800 to 375 rivets In the course of a ten-hour day and la tired at the end of It. But when you know that It takes four men nil of a working day to drive an average of a little less than 350 rivets, you can begin to see the full size of the labor problem of driving nt least 060,000 rivets a week necessary to turn out a 10,000-ton ship at the end of that length of time. In other words, you need 1.200 men for the riveting gangs alone. Look at the matter from another an gle. writes Edward Hungerford In Har per’s, Ten ships a week—the tremen- dons program for 1918 to which we stand committed—means 6.500.000 riv- ets a week. And the rivet rapacity of our five greatest yards—with a total working force of 50.000 men at th** end of 1917—was but 1.350.000 rivets a week. And riveting represents o.ily about 20 per cent in the construction of a »hip. RECRUIT HAD OWN METHOD Showed He Could Do Some Shooting When Sergeant Let Him Do It as He Wanted. C. I. CLOUGH CO.

Among a batch of recruits sent up from the recruitin,-, office was a tall? lanky, tow-headed East Tennesseean, whose habitat stuck out ail over him. He took to the training nil right enough until the company went to the target range for rifle practice. i The sergeant In charge of the prac tice showed the recruits the regulation position for firing—left elbow resting against the side and all that. But to his disappointment the Tennesseenn could not hit the target at a range of 100 yards. Finally In disgust the ser geant blurted out: “Say, Jim, I thought you told me you used to go out in the mornings and shoot the head off a squirrel for your breakfast, and now you can’t even hit that target I” To which came the drawling re ' sponse: "Wai. sergeant, we all do do that, an’ if you’ll let me shoot the way I’m used to I enn knock all h—1 outen that target." The amused sergeant agreed and the recruit proceeded to spread his legs wide apart, extended hfs left arm to its full length—grasping the rifle near the muzzle—and put ten shots through the center of the bull’s eye. ".Um’s performance with the rifle was spectacular." added the narrator, “and put an abrupt end to the ser- geant's efforts to teach him how to shoot. In after years he enrried off the highest shooting honors three years in succession—won the Buffalo i medal." Made 10,000 Shark Hooka.

Aerial torpedoes—thc bane of Ger- man submarine crews and first-llne trenches—have been called ‘‘flying fish,” because their tapering cyllndrl- cal bodies and huge alr-tins suggest the, tropic sea creatures, The torpe- does are held upright In tlie air and given a diving velocity by the air re sistance which strikes tlie fins, spin ning them round and round. Con trary to popular impressions, certain forms of air resistance speed up rather than retard falling objects. Not only the aerial torpedoes, but all air plane bombs and darts, are now groov ed or finned to whirl in fall- Ing. The German Zeppelin bombs are similarly constructed. Use* of Potatoea in Sweden.

I RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES Strange foods, such as potato flour, artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust preparations, tabloid soups, pudding powders mid other unusual things, have come into use during the war anil their adoption serves to remind us that much good food material is neglected in or dinary use. Only a few people eat snails; most of ua would starve amidst plenty of locusts; and the thought of snakes as food would give those who call themselves civilized the shudders. But’unusuai food, once braonie fa- miliar, is often relished. Colonel Roosevelt got the best work from his men on his African expedition by promising them raw steaks from slaughtered hippopotamuses. Cap tain Bartlett, who carried Stefunsson to the arctic water, found raw polar bear flesh more appetizing than any thing he had eaten at home. Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks cost there more than mutton. Some arctic tribes prefer to have their fish decomposed before eating them, and even then perhaps they smell no worse than Llmburger or Brie cheese.

When the aurora borealis, or “north ern lights,” pay us a visit there Is trouble on all the telegraph mid tele phone lines. The reason for this seems to be that the aurora borealis, which is really an unusual electric emanation from the sun, sets up ab- norinal earth currants. The streugtl) of those currents has been measured J*?n_PN time« and found to have a poten- tint varying between aoa 425 volt» vnit» positive and 225 volts negative and a resist ance of about 2.000 ohms. Donald McNIcol, assistant electrical engineer of the Postal Telegraph com pany, who has given much study to this subject, made an official report in 1892. quoted In the Electrical Experi menter, in which he described the ef fects of earth currants on the ten At lantic cables then In existence. Most affected was that from Rrast to Mique lon Island, and the disturbances were greater at the western than at the eastern end. so that often St. Pierre could send messages to Brest but could not receive any.
