HE CAPTURED THE BIG BOMB Delivery of Locomotives Ordered by Government Starts In July Ger. many Limit Spending Money of American Prisoners and " Interned i Civilians. Delivery of the first of the 1,0:; locomotives ordered by the rallroi.' administration will start in July, an deliveries will continue monthly dunn; the rest of the year. The locomotive, are of six standard types, with on heavy and one light style in each" type. They vary In weight from 200.00:; pounds to 540,000 pounds, and the en-tire order will cost about $00,000,000. The six standard types are expected to eventually supersede (he manv kinds now in service, which embrace engines built according to 500 or more specifications. According to the rail-road administration, this is the firs: real step ever taken toward the wide standardization of locomotives. . An order has also been placed for 100,000 freight cars of standard type to cost between $250,000,000 and $300.-000,00- Negotiations for the construc-tion of many thousand additional eteel freight cars are still pending. The five types of cnrs ordered represent the Frora Commute on Publie Information.) Washington. Muny members of the United States army and navy are be-ing commended for bravery In action or In emergencies. A typical case is that of John Mackenzie, chief boat-swain's mate, of the naval reserve force, described in a navy department statement. The case Is unique In that It hps to do with one of the latest engines of j war. As is well known. United States destroyers and other submarine flght- - rs carry depth charges containing a large amount of high explosives which . are dropped in the path of enemy sub-marines and explode under water. These have proved effective weapons In the destruction of and they . , are safe enough when the safety pins are affixed ; but when they get beyond control and the safety pin comes out they are a source of serious danger to the vessels carrying them. It will be recalled that the men on the U. S. S. Manley who lost their lives in the col-lision of that destroyer with a ISrltlsh vessel were killed by the explosion of standard forms of freight cars adopted by the railroad administration. The adoption of these standard types, It Is believed, will eventually substitute a few scientifically worked-ou- t designs for the numerous miscel-laneous varieties of cars, representing probably more than a thousand differ-ent old styles and specifications now In use, the accumulations of the past. Before an airplane can be put into military service it must be equipped with at least nine delicate aeronautic Instruments, some of which are abso-lutely pssential to exact flying, and ail contribute to the successful operation of a plane. One gives the pilot his lo-cation as to height and direction ; oth-ers tell his speed through the air, the speed of his propeller, the amount of gasoline carried, water temperature, operation of the oiling system, and guide his "bunking" on turns. An-other, necessary article Is the oxygen-supplyin- g apparatus, without which an avlntor could not climb to any great one of these bombs. In a heavy gale on the morning of December 17. 1017, a depth charge on the Remllk broke loose from its posi-tion on the stem. The box went over-boar- d, but the charge was hurled in the opposite direction and weut bounc-ing about the deck. As It weighs turn-- : dreds of pounds It was Impossible for ' anyone to lift the bomb and carry It to safety. It was even dangerous for anyone to go to that part of the ship, ' as the seus were washing over the 1 stern. As the officers and crew ' watched the bomb some one shouted: "The pin's come out!" Realizing the danger, Mackenzie, exclaiming, "Watch me; Til get It," dashed down the deck and flung himself upon the charging cylinder. Three times he almost had ills arms about the bomb, but each time It tore from him, once atmost , --crushing him. The fourth time he got a firm grip on it nnd heaved It up-right on one fist end. Then he sat on It and held It down. The charge might linve broken loose again and exploded st any moment, blowing Mackenzie to bits, but he held on firmly unNl lines could be run to him and man and depth bomb safely lashed. Soon afterj ward the ship was headed up into the sea and the charge carried to a place 'of safety, The commanding officer of the Item- - For operation of actual combat planes, such as observing, photograph-ing, bombing, and fighting plan.es, other complicated and expensive In-struments and sets of apparatus are necessnry. Among them are machine guns, gun mounts, bomb racks, bomb-droppin- g devices, bomb sights, radio and photographic apparatus, electri-cally heated clothing, lights and flares. These bring the total cost of equip-ment for an airplane to several thou-san-dollars each, depending upon the type of plane, Nearly 2,000 types and sizes bf farm Implements which have been gradually developed by manufacturers during peace-tim-e competition have been rec-ommended for elimination during the war by committees of the National Im-plement and Vehicle assoointlnn. The object, according to a statement by the Council of National Defense, Is to conserve materials, labor, capital, and manufacturing facilities for war use. In the report of the committee meet-ings to the commercial economy board of the Council of National Defense It was stated that no machinery recom-mended for discard was believed to be necessary to modern economical agri-culture. The lines considered by the committees consisted of steel and lik, In his report recommending that the medal of honor be conferred on Mackenzie, says: , "Mackenzie, In acting as he did, his life himI prevented a serious .accident to the ship and probable loas V - of the ship and entire crew.

ARE GN' STRIKE f I J ' i They Demand a Pay Day Every Two Weeks Instead of Monthly, Accord-ing to J ease Knight. A number ot Tinti'c miners employ-ed In the Knight mines have quit work, according to reports brought to Provo. Mr. Knight said yesterday that so far as he knows the only trou-ble is the refusal of the companies to accede to the demand of the miners for a two-week- pay day. When this matter was considered a short time r.go in connection with a demand for an increase in wages, the Increase in wages was granted, but the two-week- s' pay day wat not, for the reason that to pay every two weeks instead of monthly will make a great deal of ad-ditional office work without being pro-ductive of any particular benefif to the miners. In fact several of them have told Mr. Knight that it makes no par- ticular difference to them whether tfiey are paid every two weeks or once a month, and so far as he can see the only question involved Is that of the ability of the miners to make the operators do what the miners ask them to do, and Mr. Knight does not think any large proportion of the miners will insist on this. He states that his companies don't want to close down the mines, and he does not think they will have to do bo, and that men are being hired to take the place of the miners who lune left. Mr. Knight says that after ie wages was made a big majoritv of the miners agreed to accept the de-cision, adverse to the two weeks pay day. but he supposes other influences have been at, work to change this de-cision of acceptance on the part of some of the miners at least. FORMER MAYOR OF B11GHI, M ENDORSES TANLAC "You Will Hardly Know Me When We Meet Again, For I Am Getting Well," He Writes Friend One of the latest additions to the list of leaders of thought and action who have come forward with their un-qualified endorsement of Tanlac Is the name of Hon.

For weeks I could not sleep on my back, "One week ago, upon recommenda-tion of friends, who had tried the medicine, I purchased one bottle of Tanlac and began taking It. Since my second dose I have suffered none of these troubles to which I refer, and really believe I am going to get' per- - fectly well and strong again. Won't that be wonderful at my age? Well, ' certain It Is that Tanlac is a wonder- - ful. medicine, and you know that I am not given to 'puffing mere experi- - ments and am rather orthodox as to materia medica. "I shall continue the treatment with perfect confidence in the final re-sults. ' (Signed) "Frank V. Evans." 'Commenting on this sjilendid en-dorsement of Tanlac, G. F.

But a suf ficient number of the foot garments can be supplied if all Red Cross branches, chapters and auxiliaries send in, at once, all socks they now have on hand.
