Vloro Alilco Per CarTi au 222c92ainajra'& wr-- an r-r erv BE CAUTIOUS ON 8TRAXGK , ROAIri In some sections of the USA a short yacation trip of one or two weeks duration will take the motorist oyer every conceivable kind of road condition: moun tains, valley or prairie, with sand. dirt or paved roads. Very often on a trip of this kind a great many motorists j who are not sea soned tourists, or who are only used to the paved streets of their home town, or Improved suburban routes, meet up with a lot of new conditions that they are not famil iar with, and get Into trouble on long grades, wet dirt ; roads, or deep j sand. Even In sections where roads in general are paved obstacles of the above nature are often encountered on detours. Therefore. It ; behooves every new car owner or those living in sections free from hills with good naved highways to proceed very cautiously on strange roads, par ticularly when entering mountain ous sections, sandy or wet dirt roads, until you have had enough of this kind of driving to gain con fidence In yourself, and familiar ize yourself with gear shifting, brake and clutch operation, etc. As an example of how a motor ist, used to flat roads, will be come confused In driving over hills, the writer directod a friend who wanted to know the best road to Chicago from Detroit through a hilly section of Michigan. The hills did not amount to much to any : average motorist who has traveled anywhere at all, ' and knowing thatjthls friend had been driving cars for a number of years and that the Irish hills of southern Michigan, between Saline and Coldwater i are of no conse quence, the old Chicago road was recommended. '. A few weeks later this narty returned to Detroit via Bryan and Toledo. Ohio, a some what roundabout way,, in order to miss the . Irish hills, and with blood In his eyes be stated that this was the most dangerous road he had ever traveled; In fact, he thought it was a frame up on the writer's part.

J Other instances of how slight grades baffle the motorists accus tomed to level roads comes to my attention every day in Detroit on Grand Boulevard. On the north section of the boulevard there is a bridge crossing a railroad with approximately 3 per cent rade approaches. During the evening rush hundreds of - motors are stalled, causing traffic blocks a half mile long, simply becanse the drivers do not know how to handle their throttle, clutch and ejear shift lever when forced to pick up load from stand still on such a slight grade. v ! In addition to the grade over railroad, there are one ; or two other slight grades leading from the river front streets up to Jef ferson avenue, which are used as demonstrating hills. These will not exceed 5 or 6 per cent, but are often referred to a9 15 per cent grade by local auto salesmen. Just recently an account was given In local paper by ; enthusiastic auto salesman telling how he climbed this 15 per cent grade (not over 6 per cent) on high. If you are only used to driving on level roads; you will observe from the above that you must pro ceed very cautiously when first en countering hills. Remember that when your brakes are in 100 per cent condition, you can stop in approximately 40 feet at 20 MPH on a level road with a normal load. Now with a heavily laden car. It might, going down a 10 per cent grade, require 100 feet for, a stop. Therefore, hold your speed down on grades. ' In a tour from New York City to "Thousand Island via Albany and the Adirondak mountains, the ! motorists from New York City and surrounding territory will not find anything very new In the line of hills, until he reaches the long mountain grades above Albany, because there are plenty of steep grades on Manhattan Island. How ever, be may find with his touring equipment and full quota of pas sengers that his brakes are not as good as he thought they 'were, if an emergency arises going down a steep grade, also he may find that the motor does not show as much power because of high at mospheric 'temperatures, heavy load and the consequent . higher temperature in cooling system. Therefore, always give your car a chance when traveling under new conditions. If it won't take the grade on higb, don't try to force it. The same Idea applies to sec ond speed. . If necessary, use slow speed and reduce your touring schedule. You will save time In the long run, for by forcing a car on high : gear, or by excessive speeds in low and second gear, you are liable to damage motor seri ously on the first long grade en countered. i ; ' For the Owner's Scrapbook Last week Hints on - Driving on Transcontinental Tour. r ' Next week Watch Your Cool ing System.

The Swedish government has just published its reply to the lnquirjr circulated by the General Secre tary of the League of Nations as to whether the various members of the League favored a special pact for general reciprocal guar antees, stating . that, in its pres ent form, and under present con ditions, the government cannot endorse the proposal, j . The Swedish reply says that as long , as the United States. Ger many and Russia are not mem bers of the League Tt cannot be looked upon as having a universal character. Although the League has gained In power and author ity during Its . three years of op eration, it cannot yet be consid ered strong enough to deal effec tively with the larger internation al problems which are at present menacing the peace of the world, and Sweden thinks that the guar antee system proposed would be of little value without the power ful authority that might s come universality of membership.' . ' : The government holds that It Sweden, with her stabilised rela tions with foreign countries, were to slga the guarantees proposed she would expose herself to com paratively larger risks than those of other , states. It would be im possible, says the reply, for a Swedish government, under the present status of political unrest in the world, to propose to the re presentatives of the people that they enter Into International ob ligations which might lead to mil itary measures not compatible with Sweden's own vital interests and national Independence. ; Meanwhile, the government re peats a recommendation previous ly made to the effect that com pulsory arbitration should be pro vided for all disputes of a Judic ial nature. : And it hopes that con ditions may develop to such a point in the future that any dis turber of political peace will be considered the enemy of all na tions, and that such a disturber will be furnished by the joint ac tion of all nations. PROBE EXPL Effort Now Being Made to Perfect Successful Test ing Instruments WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. De velopment of a method of testing the amount of explosive dusts In suspension In the air at commer cial plants, with the aim of reduc ing the number of disastrous ex plosions, is under way by engi neers of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture which expects shortly to anounce the perfection of a successful test ing Instrument. Such a device. It Is said, would result In the saving annually of many lives and an untold amount of property. Proa eases lnj many Industries are productive of v considerable dust clouds, which, hanging flne ly suspended In the air, form a combination that Is highly explo sive. Among the establishments In this category are given eleva tors, rubber working plants, spice, flour and feed mills, and plants in, which powdered sugar, corn starch, sulphur and aluminum are used or manufactured. Through a period of many years fires and explosions in these and other industries have taken an Immense toll. The at tention of engineers has been ap plied to their prevention, and the government has organized a lab oratory under the direction of David J. Price, In the department of agriculture, for the sole study of dnst explosion prevention. As a result fires and; explosions in several Industries have been re duced almost to a minimum; es pecially Is this true in flour mills. The problem of . the engineers has been to' discover how much dust must be suspended In the' air to form an explosive mixture. While the lowest limit was not definitely ascertained. It seems to range from a content of from 7 to 35 ounces of dust per thou sand cubic feet of air. The In strument devised by Mr. Price and his engineers is to enable plant engineers to check up on this condition by drawing the dust-charged air through a paper filter, and comparing the weight of the collected dust with .the amount of air thus analyzed.'' Prohibitive Tax Imposed On Gamblers' Uruguay Boat . BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 11. A bill designed to- discourage Buen os Aireans from crossing the River Plate to gamble In Uruguay has been passed by the Argentine Chamber of Deputies. It Imposes a tax of 10,000 pesos a voyage on any passenger steamer from an Argentine port which calls at any port situated within 80 kilometers of Buenos Aires, where 1 roulette or other gaming establishments are maintained. The measure directly affects a river steamer which nightly car ries several hundred gamblers to the Uruguayan port of Colonla. returning in the morning. Sui cides of Argentines who lost for tunes on Colonla's roulette wheels were cited when the bill was proposed. Gambling resorts are prohibited in the Argentine cap ital, but are legal fa Uruguay. British Encouraged By Oil Drilling Processes (" LONDON. Aug. 1 1 The success of recent oil-drilling operations in the Scotland counties of England and in Scotland have led to new drilling operations on p. larger scale. , The oil found, while not abundant. Is claimed to be of the finest heavy grade and has lead many geologists to believe that as phalt deposits lie In this section. Oil has been found in Derby shire. Staffordshire and Midloth ian, At Hardstof t, Derbyshire, a well drilled about a year ago has produced a thousand tons of heavy oil and the well Is still flow ing. Five other wells In this sec tion have shown traces of oil but have not yet been pumped. Indications of oil ' have been found In the Staffordshlrt coal mines, ; but the prospects are not believed encouraging for: the op erator. ( Most of the ' test wells have been drilled by the government in order to prove the theory that oil exists In many of the sections of the British Isles. English op erators believe that while the re sult of the drlllng so far Is not what was looked for. It is possi ble to produce oil in commercial qnanUUes. . SIGNS FROM DUST CAUSES HEARTLESS LAWS E Foreign Girls Have No Easy Task in Becoming Legal f American Wives MOSCOW, Aug. 11 When the American Congress passed the law annuling the previous rule that a foreign woman automati cally became an American citizen by marrying an American, It put Herculean difficulties in the -path of Dan Cupid in the document cursed countries of Eastern Eur ope most frequented by a certain fine type' of young American men at an age when they are very sus ceptible to pretty foreign girls and matrimony. . The American . Relief Adminis tration, the Near East Relief, the Y. M. C. A. and other organiza tions which; since the war , have conducted relief operations In Po land, Austria, Greece, Russia, the Balkans and the Baltic states, sent hundreds of young Ameri cans, mostly former army officers. Into cities noted for their charm ing girls. Before the law became effective last' September, marriages of Americans to these' girls was rela tively easy, although' even then it Involved digging into records for documents, more documents and still more documents. Once this was accomplished, however, all the young American had to do was to go . to the nearest American consulate, have his wife's photo graph pasted on his passport, and. If he was ready, could take her home an automatic. American cit izeness and show her proudly to his folks. But today things are different. A few weeks ago one young mem ber of the Near East Relief mis sion In Armenia got a brief vaca tion and came through Moscow on his way to Warsaw to marry there a lovely Polish girl who had waited for him two years.! They had met when be was with the American Red Cross and she was a nurse on the Polish battlefields against the Russians. "I'll be back in 10 days; save room for us at the hotel," the American said blithely and confi dently as he left Moscow. Six weeks later he returned, with his bride, having miraculous ly untangled miles of red tape and overcome, with the assistance of every official, Polish and Ameri car. HAM PERMAAAIA6 I F. G.

O'DonnelL, Independence Graham & Calbreath, can alike in Warsaw and Moscow, obstacles that left both bride and groom too tired to jenjoy a honeymoon.'- , , In Poland a woman automati cally takes on the citizenship of her husband and therefore should lose her passport. American rules, due to the new law, prevent con suls from pasting foreign wives' pictures on husbands passports. One cannot enter Russia without a passport, and it is particularly difficult for a Polish subject to se cure a visa to enter Russia at all. American law required this couple to have two passports, his American, her's Polish. Polish law: and the Russian difficulties in the way of Polesentering, re quired them to have one, and this American. Finally the young man prevail ed upon the Polish authorities to give his wife a Polish passport, and upon an American consular ofticlal to give him a letter stat ing the couple - had been legally married, although the bride was not an American citizen. - The worried bridegroom pasted his wife's picture on the letter, at tached the. letter to his own pass port, and finally got through. Communities Still Bid For First City .Manager LAWRENCE. KAS., Aug. 11. When Charles Edward Ashburner city manager of Norfolk. Va.. as sumes his new Job as city mana ger of Stockton. Cal., September 1 at a salary of $20,000 a year, he will cintlnue to be the highest paid city manager in the United States, according to John G. Stutz of this city, executive secretary of the National City Managers associa tion. 'His salary at Norfolk Is 116,000 a year." "An Interesting thing about Ashburner Is that he not only la the highest paid city manager In the United States, but he was the pioneer In the profession be wa. the first city manager," said Sec retary Stutz. "When he accept ed the Jdb of manager of the city of Staunton, Va., in 1908 he received-only a nominal salary. It was largely through the successful demonstration he gave there. that other cities ' .accented the Id a A. When Ashburner was asked by the! city of Stockton to fix his salarv he put the figure so high he did not. Imagine a city of but SO.OOO population would accept. ' Al though Norfolk, a city of 150,000 later met the rise in the effort to hold Ashburner, of course he could not annul Stockton's accep tance of his offer." ,.
