NEW FACTORY WiLL BE ALL FIRE PROOF Arranéement of Rooms of 6-Story Building of Falnir Bearing Co. The new six-story factory which is be,ng erected by the Fafnir Bearing company, is to be absolutely fireproof, according to Raymond IR. Searles, general superintendent of the. fac- tory. The sixth floor of the building will contain an up-to-date research, experimental and testing department. This department, says Mr. Searles, will have much hew equipment and many special testing machine: The other floors of the factory are to be used as follows: The ground will be used for general storage, and the second floor is to be an extension of the grinding department and all the horigs and facing will be carried on h The third foor is to be an ad- dition to the machining department. The chucking- machines with maga- zine attachments’ will be moved from the old building into the new, and the forged rings will be machined there in the future. Mr. Searles said that it was at first intended to make the fourth floor into an extension of the tool room, but the plan now iz to move the second operation on that floor of the new ‘building. According to the present plan, the tool room will be moved to the west end of the same floor which it now occupies. Anev department is to occupy the fifth floor of the building. The arrangements in regard to the Hart & Cooley buildings, have not be decided upon there after the concern moves out. The final inspection, a: sembling departments and the plac- ing and shipping rooms will be trans- ferred from the Fafnir Bearing com- pany to the Hart & Cooley plant. Iixtensive alterations, said Superin- tendent Searles, will be made, includ- ing a smoking room for the men and a comfortable rest room for the wo- nen. In addition to this, a first aid departent will be installed. TYPHUS EPIDEMIC IS NOW CHECKED Norifiern Serbia Is Now Believed ' to e About Free From Ravages of Disease. Saloniki. June 10, (By Mail.)—The typhus cpidemics at Kavabla, Monas- tir, Uskub, Leskovatz and some other smaller places in southern Serbia now ate believed to be checked, say Red Cross reports received here. At all these points small typhus hospitals have been set up under the diréction of American physicians and #'nurses. Disinfecting stations have tieen established and in them thou- sands of refugees and soldiers are cleansed. Serbian officials have thanked ghe Red Cross for its help in suppressing the epidemics, both of smallpox and typhus. The food supply of hundreds of thousands of Serbs who have returned to their homes in Usgub, Monastir, Pi- rot and Guevgeli is now believed to have passed the critical stage as the American food administration has shipped large quantities of flour to those places and the grain harvests are reported to be fairly good. The Red Cross is taking steps to insure the permanency of its institu- tions established in Serbia, particular- iy the orphanages.

Washington, Aug. 2.—Indestructi- ble gasoline tanks, automatic cranks and portable hangars are a few of the airplane equipment devices which the army air service’s engineering section is seeking to perfect. American in- ventors have been asked to assist. The gasoline tank desired would withstand “a salvo of 15 shots fired at a range of 30 yards, the ammunition consisting of service, tracer, incen- diary and armor-piercing bullets, without fire resulting.” A maximum weight limit of 75 per cent. more than the ordinary tank has been fixed. An automotic cranker, mounted on a truck and electrically driven, is un- der experiment. This instrument is designed to offset the great difficulties now experienced in starting the big bombing planes which are expected to be the type adopted in aerial com- merce. A flexible arm is attached to the propeller, giving the twist neces- sary to start the cylinders to firing and is then automitically disconnected. Portable hangars of canvas, of the type now used, are very unsatisfac- tory, according to aviation officials. They either are too small for the pur- pose or are easily blown down by a moderate wind. The hangar sought would be large enough to hold four planes and would be capable of being solidly fixed when erected. RUMANIANS POOR BUT PROUD. Bucharest, Aug. 2.—Red Cross field workers here have noticed that one of the most striking traits in the Ru- manian people is their sense of pride. With all the misery and poverty of the poor, they never beg. They are always content with what the Amerl- cans give them. At the distribution centers there is never complaint, protest or clamor. The Rumanians are always grateful for what they get, however little it may be.

STORE 380 Main Street FIST FIGHTING IS WORST IN CHICAGO Bloody Rioting of Past Few Days Has Entirely Disappeared and Calm Returns. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Calm prevailed throughout the black belt district of the outh side today and but for the presence of soldiers and policemen, there was little to indicate that for four days and nights the district was terrorized by fights and negroes that resulted in 35 deaths and the injury of hundreds of peo- ple. One fist fight between a white man and a negro was the only report of trouble for the 12 hours preceding this morning. Scveral fire alarms iwere answered during same perfod, but in each instance it was reported race feeling had nothing to do with the origin of the flames. With quiet restored in the “black belt” the legal machinery of the county began active operations in in- vestigating the riots. More than a hundred of the pris- | oners held at the police stations in the riot zone have thus far been in- terrogated, it was announced today, and from them conf ions were said to have been procured which will lead to further arrests on more seri- ous charges than those on which the many prisoners are now held. The officials declared conspiracies among negroes to snipe policemen and whites had been revealed, and also similar combinations among whites to burn the homes of negr GEE, I'Ve GoT A DATE WITH A PEACH OF A GIRL - I’M GOING TO TeEACH HER How To Swim DOINGS OF THE DUFFS between whites | FOREIGNERS ENJOY THEIR FIRST PARTY Those Attending Classes at Normal School Have Pleasant Evening's Entertainment. .

The evening school pupils, especially, were sorry that all was over at 10:30.

Boston, Aug. 2.—Connecticut’s claim to the German howitzer which now stands on Boston common has caused the issuance of orders by the war de- partment for the collection of evidence regarding the capture of the big gun. The question who mthe howitzer was taken. necticut, which wishes the gun remov- ed to Hartford, claims that-the 102d infantry was chiefly responsible for obtaining the piece. The gun came into possession of the Yankee division at Trugny after the fighting of July 21-22, 1918, It disap- peared shortly aft rd, but was dis- covered in the possession of an engi- neers’ outfit and subsequently, restored to custody of the Twenty-sixth divi- sion. Recards indicate that there were four organizations of the Yankee | division in the vicinity when the Ger- mans were driven from their big gun—the 104th infantry, 102d infan- try, 102d field artillery and 101st ma- chine gun battalion.

Paris, Aug. 2.—The peace committee of the chamber of deputies which, by a vote of 34 to 1 yesterday, recom- mended to the chamber that the German peace treaty be ratified, before balloting, listened to Georses Leygues, minister of marine. The minister stated that the efforts of the government tended toward the recov- ery of the entire tonnage lost by the French during the war and also the tonnage which the government had been unable to construct in the same period. Unfortunately, M said, part of the guarantee disappeared at | Scapa Flow, dut the sinking of the | German fleet was a violation of the armistice and thus involved the re- sponsibility of Germany, which might | be called upon to answer with what | ships remained or the delivery naval material. After recalling the magnificent role | played by the Irench Navy during the war, and especially in the ranean, the minister said France could | not rival England or the United States, but must have a fleet assuring her naval position.
