STATE MAY NOT CON FOR TAC PLANT AT PEN Exhorbitant Cost of Machinery at Present’ Probably Will Defer Action on, Plan MANUFACTURING END OF FROPOQSITION Is SOUND Because of the exorbitant price of machinery of all kinds, it is probable that on recommendation of Secretary of State Hall the, state board of con- trol will Not for the present consider the installation at the state peniten- tiary of a plant for the manufacture of automobile and -motorcycle tags, road signs and similar sheet metal devices whicn are or may be handled by the state. The project has been under consid- eration for some time, the recommen- dation coming originally from Secre- tary of State Hall. Tecause’ of the rapid development of the’ automobile, the few manufacturers who produce license tags have found it impossible to supply the demand. The manufac- turer from whom the state has beea buying recently suggested that North Dakota engage in the manufacture of its own ‘tags by installing a plant at the prison. aa! Building Available building and stack erected as a incinerator but never factory for that purpose was considered as quarters for the proposed plant, and it was found that. the operation of the tag factory would require the services of six men about two months during the winter and of only two men for a short time during the summer, when the demand would be light. The secretary of state on his re- turn from Fargo today cast cold w: ter on the plans with his report that a plant would cost approximately $9,000 at the present price of machin. | ery. It had been estimated thai this original expense would not exceed; $2,000, which probably would ‘be a reasonadle maximum for any but war times. The plant, even at'a cost of 000, would pay for itself with two ‘ars’ output, it is claimed, but the state has so little ready money in any fund available, for this purpose that the board of control this morn- ing was not inclined to regard the scheme with favor. North Dakota will use more than 60,000 tags this year. Next year the number will be probably 10,000 great- er. The state’s investment in tags up to July 1, this year was more than $8,000, upon which it is reasonable to estimate a profit of about $3,000 for the manufacturer. With the same machinery used to stamp and enamel license tags, highway signs and other sheet metal work could be turned| out. Little power would ve required to operate the plant, arid a good prof-; it might reasonably be expected. SUBMARINE IS ONE BIS ISSUE BEFORE AMERICA (Continued from Fage ned on the world.

It is not conceivable that even if the attack failed the allies would lose enough cap! hips to give the Ger- man high seas fleet a chance to de- feat those left in a sea fight. The all could lose half their big ships and be strong enough to control the seas against the German fleet. That this plan, fraught as it is with such tremendous possibili- ties, not only is being urged by more daring naval officers, but is being seriously considered by the highest officials, is an indication of how grave the submarine men- ace is Koewn to a TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR RENT-—Modern Second St. Phone room 44X. wide wers to name for return. strap collar; of.

Changes in Boards. Changes are. being made daily in the personnel of the county exemp- tion boards.

Washington, D. C., July 26.—‘Good morning! How are your semi-circular canals?” You may not know you have any, but if you have any idea of flying for Uncle Sam, your will mighty soon find out’ the semi-circular canals are the most important part of your anatomy. The man whose semi-circular canals are not perfect has no chance of be- coming an aviator. The semi-circuiar canals are the human equilibrium apparatus. With- out them you could not walk; you could not even stand up. You would be wobbly on.all fours. ‘Phe reason you tack all over the highway when you get “three-sheets-in-the-wind,” is Not that there’s anything really wrong with your legs, but simply that the booze has upset the workings of the semi-circular’ canals whica control your balance. These’ little equilibrium adjusters are part of the structure of the inner ear. They are like three tiny spirit- levels, lying in three different planes, practically at right angles to éach other. They are all connected through channels and are filled with a peculiar kind of lymph. Just as the bubble in a spirit-level tells the eye the angle of the level; so: the moventent of the . plymph in these canals sends a mes- sage to the brain whenever your head | changes position. If not working right they may send the wrong message to the brain .or they may not send it quick enough. When yo uare flying, where balance is of supreme importance and where ac- tion must be quicker than thougtt, any imperfection in the SCCs would | be fatal. That is why in testing applicants for the aviatian corps mofe attention is paid these tiny organs than to all the rest of the body. Here's a little’ inside tip for pro- spective aviators: One question the examing surgeon asks is, “Have you ever been sea-sick?” . Most applicants apparently think admission of sea-sick- ness might disqualify them, so they take liberties with the truth and an- swer, “No.” But it’s wrong and puts the appli- cant under suspicion. Surgeons know every man whos mi-circular canals are in good condition is sure to have! been sea-sick if he has had the chance, | unless he just happens to have an iron clad stomach that simply can’t | be turned inside out. So if you are | up for aviation examination and strike this question, don’t try to play foxy; if you've ‘been sea-! mck say so.
