Unless Central Power Shows Disposi

Claim, Officials Feel Diplomatic Es

Westtru Xewiptpcr Union New Scrvlc.
Washington, D. C. Unofficial ad
vices received confirm that Austria's
forthcoming reply to the Ancona note
will fail to meet the demands of the
United States, and Teutonic diplomat
ic circles here were authoritatively
v represented as being prepared for a
break lu diplomatic relations between
Austria and the United States.
Various developments, it was agreed,
might avoid such an eventuality, but
none of the counter proposals which
it had been Intimated the Vienna for
eign ofilco might advanco have been
v regarded so far as coming within Sec
retary Lansing's renewal of the de
mands for disavowal, reparation and
punishment of the submarine com
mander who sunk the Ancona with the
lo3s of more than a dozen American
lives.
It has been charged that tho Aus
trian submarines are in some instan
ces furnished by Germany, and some
times are officered and manned by
members of the German navy.
Such a situation, It Is being pointed
out, amounts to practically a defeat
of tho submarine negotiations with
Germany.

questions and Rlvo ndvlco FIII2B OV
COST on nil mibjccts portnlnlnK to tho
subject of bullilhiK work on the tarm, for
tho readers of this paper. On account of
his wlile experience ns IMltor, Author ami
Manufacturer, ho Is, without doubt, tho
hlRhest authority on nil theso subjecti).
Aililresn nil Inquiries to William A. Hud
fonl, No. 1827 I'ralrlo avenue, Chicago,
111., and only lncloao two-cent stamp for
reply.
A uhed to hold farm Implements
may not look us lmportnnt ns somo
of tho other buildings, but It Is nocos
snry to prevent waste. Tho depreci
ation In tho valuo of farm Imple
ments and machlnory is about 10 por
cent per year undor good enro. Whon
tho machines aro loft to weather and
rust In tho rain and wind tho loss
Is simply ruinous. Moro mnchlnory Is
required on farms than formerly, nnd
It is not a question whether n farmer
can afford n machlno shed or not; tho
only problom Is to find out how to
build it and how largo to build it
In tho first place tho implement
shod should bo big enough to hold all
farm tools and It should bo well built
and tight enough to keep out tho wind
and small animals, Including chickens.
Tho plan shown hrrowlth Is 1G foot
In width and GO foot lu length. Tho
width is all right fo," any length shed.
It may bo built shorter and tho length
contlnuod at any tlmo If moro room
Is nocded. Tho doorwayB provldo
headroom sufficient for tho highest
machines, nnd tho width of the widest
opening when tho double doors ato
opened and tho center post romoved
la nearly 20 feet, which is sufficient
for a binder In Hold condition or for
a two-horso spring tooth horso rake.
Ono end ot tho building is lntondod
for a machlno shop, to bo partitioned
oft by enclosing tho first bent. This
glvos a shop 1G feet squnro for a black
smith shop nnd gonernl ropalr work.
Tho machlno shop part of tho build
ing will bo arranged according to tho
mechanical Inclination ot tho farmer.
A real, genulno, Buro-onough farm ro
palr shop is a rather olnborato mo
chnntcul proposition. Thero lu a good
brick chimnoy to carry off tho Bmoko
and gases from tho blacksmith flro,
and tho chimney should havo a sepa
rate fluo for a heating stovo. Farm
ropalr work Is dono mostly during tho
winter months, when a flro in the
shop Is necessary for comfort and effi
ciency. A person cannot work to ad
vantage with cold fingers. Paint re
quires modorato heat to work to ad
vantage Painting farm implomonta
is a vory important part of ropalr
work.
A good shop arrangoment 1b to havo
an iron work bench across the end,
lighted by a wldo window, built In
(mop fashion. in tho far cornor
against tho back wall is a good placo
for a woodworking bonch. It is too
mussy to havo tho blacksmith work
and tho carpenter work mixed up.
Also different stylos of vises aro
needed. A high, boavy iron vise for
blacksmith work and a low-down vise
that is fiush with tho top ot tho bench
for carpontor work. Besides the forgo
and anvil, tho farmer needs a good
drill press. Tho upright pattorn that
bolts to a post is moBt satisfactory.
Itooni is needed in tho front and at
tho right and loft-hand Hides ot tho
drill, with tho post at tho back. It
often happens that a farmer wants to
drill holoa through a long piece of
iron, nnd this arrangemont pormlts
passing it through from end to end.
Quito a number ot hand blacksmith
tools aro needed. A partial list would
Includo about four pairs of tongs of
dlfforont shapes and sizes, a black
smith hammer, ono lighter riveting
hnmmor with a flat peon, a slcdgo
hammor, an anvil hardy, ono pair of
horseshoo nippers, and a small assort
ment each of drills, cold chlsols,
punches and files. This outfit would
not bo oxponslvo and It is sufficient
to do a great many jobs of repair
work. It may bo added to at any tlmo
when other tools aro really noeded.
Tho farm carpeutor tool outfit may
bo less oxponslvo, becauso fewer tools
aro -needed. A good crosscut hand
saw, having nine teeth to the inch,
will bo found useful for. farm work.
A good haud rip saw is moro neces
sary on a farm than in town, because
'.Jwafer2 - ' A?'$- , ? SA v t -,y - x
powor woodworking machlnorjr 1m
within roach of tho town workmen.
A farmer needs two or three nail
hammers, together with tho hard aatf
fast rulo that ono belongs exclusively
In tho shop and must bo loft there.
Tho farm shop should also bo sup
plied with a good braco and a sot of
bits 5-lGtliB to 1 inch. Pod bits are
better up to and including i inch.
A Ja,ck piano and a draw shave, with
somo smallor odd tools, will comploto
tho necosenry carpontor outfit; to start
with.
A supply ot red paint and two or
threo brushes of different sizes aro
necessary to comploto n repair job on
a farm implement or machine. Thero
is only ono kind of red paint for a
farmer to buy, and that is puro red
lead. It penotrates bettor when mixed,
with puro raw Unsoed oil, but boilod
oil Is hotter for somo purposes. The
word "puro" in this connection means
a good deal to a farmer. Brick dust
resembles red lead very closely, but
brick dust la not much good to protect
olthor wood or Iron from rusting. Cot
tonseed oil roscmblcs linseed oil, bufci
It won't mnko good paint
A farm Implement ehed, built nnd
equipped In this way, is a strong in
ducement to kcop tho tools nnd ma
chlnory in good working) ordor. It
means a great deal at seeding tlmo
In tho Bprlng, whon ovory mlnuto
ohoutd count, to havo tho tools nil
ready to hitch on to and to havo them,
lu condition to do their very best
work. A farmer's time In winter is
woll spent by gottlng things ready
for tho busy season In tho spring.

A word of caution In regard to tha
front of tho building may bo hocob
aary. Whon a front 1b all doors, thoro
is lttlo room for bracing. It is a
good plan to mako tho door posts
three or four feet longer than tho il
lustration indicates, and to extend
them down Into tho ground. This
should bo dono by digging holes largor
than tho posts, then sot the posts with
concrete to mako thorn Bolld and to
preserve them from rotting. It takes
tho placo of bIIIb. This makes a very
solidv building and ono that will stand
plumb and square for a great many
years.
LIVE ON ALFONSO'S PENSI0M
Spanish King Remembered an In
terned Hungarian Musician In a
Most Practical Way.
Tho king ot Spain has a way of ro
mombering people when thoy aro in
trouble Tho celebrated Hungarian
gypsy violinist and orchestra conductor
Boldl, who plnyod dally nnd nightly nt
tho Rltz, Mourico and Cafo do la Pais
iu Paris for some thirty years, was
Bont to a concentration camp by tho
Fronch authorities nt the opening of
tho war, Boldl had brought up a lnrgo
family in Paris, but ho had never
thought ot gottlng naturalized. So
whon tho war camo tho whole family,
along with tho score or moro of Hun
garian musicians in tho orchestra,
wero bundled off to a camp. Tho
property which Boldl had acquired out
of his years of savings was put undor
sequostor nnd tho family found itself
in straits.
Now tho king ot Spain Is passlonato-
ly fond ot Hungarian music and used
to give really royal tips to Boldl ovory
tlmo ho wont to Paris for many years.
Boldl's Bon oven went to play In a fash
lonnblo restaurant at Madrid on recom
mendations given by tho klng.i Whon
tho king heard from Hungarians at
Madrid that tho Beldl family was in
difficulties ho had his secretary sond
thorn a monthly allowance ot 300
francs ($G0), which has gone to tho
camp ovory month since the outbreak
of tho war. Thero is llltlo need for
money at tho camp, so tho whole fam
ily Is qulto conifortablo on King Al
fonso's allowance.
