Many manufacturers have gone even far ther than the mechanical and struc tural safeguards, and have organiz ed factory Are departments. All of the protective means and measures been adopted In the great plant of Dodgfe Brothers at Detroit, which is as nearly fireproof as modern construction can make it. In addition, a motor fire truck is always ready, day and night, to speed to the scene of a blaze. It has been placed in service not be cause of abnormal liability to or In crease in the number of fires, but as a measure of greater efficiency. The truck is built on a Dodge Brothers chassis, and carries a com pete fire fighting outfit, from small hand extinguishers to 800 feet of 2 1-2-Inch hose. It is painted the regulation fire department red, with brass trimmings, and could easily be taken for a standard fire truck be longing to a city Are department. Apparently nothing useful or es sential In fire-lighting has been omitted from its equipment. This includes two 35-gallon chemical tanks, with 2 1-2 inch base connec tion; two 2 1-2-gallon extinguishers on air pressure; six one-quart ex tinguishers; 500 feet of 2 1-2-lnch liose in 50-foot lengths; 200 feet of one-inch chemical hose in 50-foot lengths; 100 feet of 5-8-inch rope for hose lines; nozzles, hose holders, spanner wrenches, hydrant reducers, axes, crowbars, wire cutters and rubber gloves, lanterns, etc., together with a 26-foot extension ladder, a fii%t aid kit and a stretcher. Friction is a Poor Passenger to Haul Around in Your Car "No matter what kind of a car you drive, how many passengers it holds, or where or when you drive, there's an extra passenger along with you," says a local garage man. . "It's old man friction. You can't see him, but you can notice the ef fect of his sly, damaging tactics. He runs up your gasoline and repair bills and wears out your car a lot quicker as long as he has his own way. "Friction must be eliminated by the use of a good lubricant, and I have found the graphite lubricants manufactured by the Dixon Com pany most effective. The selected tlake graphite In the grease forms an unusually long-wearing coating that keeps the metal contact surfaces from the rasping grind that wears away the parts. Graphite is espe cially good for cars used to travel ing a hilly country." •AMERICAN TRANSPORT PRESIDENT LINCOLN • *?vMmw:uunuyiiwmuM—w—w.n mi _ m i wimw—wwwr-:WiiiiitiUHimiwmuiimtuuJMWKmwtwWJJjmwwwiWWtWWpw TISANS PRWJDEKT W*TCOIr The United States transport Presi dent Lincoln has been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.

ROAD SIGNALS TO BE ADOPTED Overland President Suggests Universal National System John N. Willys, president of the Willys-Overland Company, has sug gested that the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce recommend for universal national adoption three simple road signals, which will increase the safety of traffic. Mr. Willys suggests, arm polnUng ip. turn to the right; arm straight out, turn to the left; arm down, slow down without turning. These Blgnals have the advantage of common use by a large number of automobile drivers. They are the most natural signals and the easiest to remember. They have already been adopted by a number of local automobile clubs. The approval of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce will bring the signals very rapidly into universal use, and it Is likely that this action will he followed by their recognition by law all over the United States. Traffic officials say that the standard adopt ion or a universal road signal of this character will prevent many minor accidents and greatly increase the safety.and convenience of travel in congested streets.

Hammelbaugh, of the city school board, were appoint ed as a committee to confer with Commissioner S. F. Gassier for an explanation of the new water rate charges. Bills against the district presented at the board meet ing yesterday and because of the "ready to serve" bharge made by the city water department under a new city rate ordinance the* directors decided to arrange for a conference Ito see whether rates to the district could not be lowered. City Superintendent P. E. Downes reported that there are three vacan cies on the Central High school fac ulty and four at Technical High school which must be filled and said a special meeting of the board may be called In a few weeks. At Central the vacancies are In the domestic science, French and commercial de partments; at Technical High school two in English, one in mathematics and one in physical geography. A number of teachers were elected as recommended by Dr. Downes and seven girls from the Central High school graduating class were admit ted to the Teachers' Training school. Dr. Downes explained that the low salary offered and the fact that | graduates of the training school [ must take state examinations for several years, were responsible for the small number entering the school. Three resignations were ac cepted. It was decided to use river coal at the school for one of the boilers affecting a saving of about $3,000. on award ing a contract for 800 tons of coal whs deferred pending an Investiga tion of one of the bids received. All the present janitors were re appointed and three vacancies caused by deaths were filled as follows: John Deckard, assistant at Cameron building; William Nowers, assistant at Central; B. E. Smith, Riverside building. Dr. Downes announced that 763 had qualified for entrance to the High schools in September, and 80 more who are conditioned will be re-examined in August. Two new schools will be opened for sixth and seventh grade pupils at the Harris and Shlmmell buildings. Figures to taled by Dr. Downes show that pupils exclusive of the High schools have bought Thrift Stamps to the amount of more than $33,000. The action of the State Board of Education which recommended that the next Legislature Increase school appropriations to the extent of pay ing 25 per cent, of the teachers' sal aries in the respective school dis tricts of the state, was heartily en i dorsed In a resolution passed by the directors. New equipment for the open air school as recommended by Architect C. Howard Lloyd, was purchased, and bonds of C. E. Weber, tax col lector and treasurer, were approved and their cost ordered to be paid. A resolution giving leaves of ab sence to all teachers who desire to engage In government war work other than clerical work, was passed unanimously. They are to 'be rein stated upon their return if they de sire. The monthly report of Treasurer Weber showed expenditures of $106,- 552.12, leaving a balance of $467,- 367.44 in the school general fund. The balance In the teachers' retire ment fund is $4,019,98, the monthly .expenditures being $835.57 to annui tants, and $4,689.78 Invested In Lib. erty Bonds.

PAPERS URGED TO CUT OUTPUT War Industries Board Sug gests Elimination of Free and Return Copies Washington, July 6.—As a first step in the sweeping program for conservation of newsprint paper that may lead to definite limitations as to the size and circulation of all newspapers, the War Industries Board has made public a letter to all pub lishers suggesting the elimination of all free and return copies. Other economies are to be suggest ed through the pulp and paper sec tion, headed by William B. Colver, chairman of the Federal Trade Com mission. As yet none of them has been made obligatory and effort Is to be made to enforce them through patriotic co-operation of the various newspaper owners and publishers. Elimination of reorders, the furnish ing of addiUonal copies above orig inal orders to dealers or newsboys who sell out early may be the next step. Sire I/lniit Planned It.ls known that the pulp and pa- per section is considering ways and means of placing a limit on the size of all news publications. Difficulty is being found in working out one that will be equitable. The letter to publishers states that 1 "it is necessary that all newspapers which publish a daily and weekly edition put the following preliminary economies into effect July 15, 1918: "Discontinue the acceptance of the return of unsold copies. "Discontinue the use of all sam ples or free promotion copies. "Discontinue giving copies to any body except for office working copies or where required by statute law In the case of official advertising. Copies For Dealers "Discontinue giving free copies to advertisers except not more than one copy each for checking purposes. "Discontinue the arbitrary forcing of copies on newsdealers (1. e., com pelling them to buy more copies .than they can legitimately sell in order to hold certain territory). "Discontinue the buying back of papers at either wholesale or retail selling price from dealers or agents . In order to secure preferenUal repre sentation. "Discontinue the payment of salar ies or commission to agents, dealers or newsboys for™he purpose of se curing the equivalent of return priv : ileges.
