Reorganization.
Washington, Aug. 30. Organiza
tion of a permanent "transport re
serve" capable of carrying 142,000
troops, is proposed by the War de
department as a part of the army
reorganization plan. This reserve,
with the regular army transport
fleet would make it possible to
move an expeditionary force of
nearly 200,000 men immediately on
the outbreak of war.
The plan as outlined by Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines, in charge of
the army transport service, contem
plates reserving title to 15 of the
former German passenger ships and
a number of cargo carriers, with
their allocation to commercial lines
on the conditions that the crews
be enlisted in the transport re
serve and that no structural changes
in the vessels be made by the
operators. All of the ships are
now in perfect shape for army use
and General Hines would have them
subject to periodical inspection by
army engineers.
The Leviathan, George Washing
ton, Mount Vernon and Savannah
are among the ships listed to be
retained if congress approves the
plan.

Drug Addicts Fearing
Fate of Socrates Quit
New York, Aug.. 30. Fearing "the
fate of Socrates" eight drug addicts
at Mie riverside hospital went on
"strike" today against continuation
of hyoscyamine treatment.
The revolt came after one of their
number consulted a dictionary and
found the hyoscins was the modern
name for henbane, which he de
clared was the same drug with
which Socrates was forced to end
his life.
The "strikers" were sent to the
Blackwell island work house.
Squeaky Springs.
In cases of chronically squeaky
springs, try jacking up the car so
that the weight is removed from
the springs and then soaking these
latter with kerosene. Run the car
fcr a day or so to let the kerosene
soak in and then saturate the springs
with some of the old oil that has
been drained off from the crank
case. After a clay's run wipe oil
any excess oil that shows to prevent
the collection of unseemly dust.

. Building Battery Posts.
It is possible to build up battery
posts that have worn down by slip
ping a section of cast iron pipe, cut
to the proper length over the old
post and then melting new post
metal in by means of an acetylene
torch. The piece of pipe acts as a
cup to hold the new metal as it
is melted.
Moral:
Which shows us that even our
misfortunes
May sometimes be only blessings
In disguise.
