Candida tew from the various fire companies .for the annual department elections on the evening of April 4 are appearing, and from indication# the campaign will be a quiet one Chief Engineer Timothy J. Slian- ahan is not expected to be a candi date for re-election. His successor te expected to be First Deputy En gineer Bernard Brennan. No other candidate has appeared to date. Geo. Giroux, the present Second Deputy Chief Engineer, will probably be ad vanced without opposition bo First Deputy. Harry Curley, a member of the village police force, who Giroux defeated last, year by two votes, ie again a candidate for Second Deputy. Theodore Hunholt of Woodland Hose was talked of aa a candidate, but has withdrawn in favor of Curley. ROOSEVELT Mra. A. Schlegel of Brookside ave nue received word Wednesday that her father, A Seridler of Woodcliff I^ike, N. J., had died. He was 71 years of ajare. His death is the fourth in the family of Mrs. Schlegel in less than two years. DEADLY WEAPON OF WARFARE Home Workers Wanted G e r m a n Albatross Is Probably th e Most Powerful Machine That Has Yet Been Developed. The tendency In nlrplnnes hns been to run to two extremes—for fighting, ns small nnd fast ns possible; and for bombing, ns large and powerful as possible. In n three-seated, one passenger sits out tn front mounted In n mnehlne-gun turret. The pilot comes next, Immediately behind the motor, white the second passenger sits behind him mounted In another rna- ehlne-gun turret. This airplane ts capable of carrying many bunded pounds of explosives nnd, being very fast nnd heavily armed, generally ac complishes Its mission. The German albatross Is capable of a horizontal speed of 300 kilometers (about 187 miles) an hour. It Is a single seater and carries three ma chine guns, which, being controlled hy the motor, shoot automatically nnd si multaneously through the propeller. The sight of these weapons converges nt approximately 50 yards In front of the airplane, making the chance of hitting the opponent three times as sure. The motor Is equipped with an electric self-starter. It hns also elec trical devices for keeping the water warm In the radiator while flying at great heights. Ttie wing surface Is less than 20 square yards.—Scribner’s. Showing W a r ’s Privations. Tn such sorely pressed neutral coun- trles ns Sweden the war hns resulted In rich nnd poor alike being subjected to many restrictions heretofore un known. An Illustration, of this—not without Its humorous aspect—Is found In a Swedish wedding Invitation re cently received In the T'ntted States hy friends of the bride and bridegroom. The latter were members of two wealthy families In Stockholm, nnd the handsomely engraved missive Included an Invitation to a banquet nt one of the finest hotels in the .Swedish capital. It was In a notation at the bottom page that the hand of war manifested itself, in these words; “Please bring your bread cards.\ This meant, of course, that well-to-do hosts at a wed ding £Ould not provide their guests with bread, except In restricted amounts and In the manner prescribed by law.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Spitzbergen Rich L^md. Spltebei’gen, virtually the only \No. Man’s Land\ of any value left on the earth, promises to present an Impor tant question after the war ends. Jut ting up from one of Europe's most northerly points toward ttie regions of perpetual Ice, Spitzbergen received little attention from world powers, even those near by. until Its Important mineral resources were revealed. By some It Is said the country will prove to be a second Alaska In the surprises awaiting Its complete exploration and study. Coal In apparently Unlimited quan tities, easily mined without shafting, abounds In Spitsbergen. Besides there are found deposits of Iron ore, marble, copper ore, Iron and copper pyrites, molybdenum, galena, line blende and other minerals. Use of Cement Increasing. The popularity of cement us a build ing material may be shown In figures. In a period of 15 years the cement output In the United States has In creased from 17.000.000 barrels to 95,- 000,000. This ts an luureuse of over OOO per cent. With steel a product which It Is extremely dilHcult to ee- cufe at the present time, there Is e great demand for cement to replace steel to some extent.—Milwaukee Journal.
