The linters, or short fibers adher ing: to the cotton seed after the long fibers hare been remored for spinning into thread, are received in bales at the Da Pont company's Parlin plant in northern New Jer sey. V 'T t;" - Removing dost rand loose for eign matter from the linters is the nrst operation which is accomp lished by an agitating: machine called" the deTil : duster." The cotton is' then chemically purified by" s,eam'and caustic soda, baths almost two -: hundred ' gal lons of water to each pound of cotton being used. JaYthe process; After purification, the cotton is thoroughly dried, y;- NitratLoois.the next step. This is a immersion, process, which takes place in '.mechanical dippers. which contains a calculated quan tity of mixed nitric and sulphuric acids. ' ' . Following the nitration, the wet cotton is wrung free of. excess acid through' the operation of cenrifu gal wringers, where upon it is de hydrated witfi "alcohol. In the de hydration process the moist cotton is weighed into batches of about forty pounds each. These batches are charged into hydraulic presses a'nd blocked into cakes ; through which the alcohol is forced. The nitrated, dehydrated cotton is now broken up and made fluid by adding solvent mixture, thus forming: what is termed the base mixture. This is filtered and then Incorporated with gum mixtures and also with ground pigments, if a colored finish is being made. The final mixing operation takes place in machines of large capacity, and the'discharge is the finished product, Duco, ready for shipment. were u conunqe to 4 grow- and I reach . anywhere i near our maxi mum in 4 sales,8' e must broaden our field and sell motorcycles to the masses as we do : la foreign countries.

Everyone admires the lovely Diana, gracefully posing on the radiator cap of the car that bears her name. The. graceful wings of the Chrysler, the flying "J of the Jewett and the silver helmet of the Willys-Knight are likewise looked upon with approving eyes.

Such' a platform is greatly appreciated in ratoy wea-. ther or soft earth where the weight of the car forces the jack into the ground rather than the jack lifting the car. Many motor ists carry a small -shovel and this can be used in lieu of a plank for a jack platform. Being away; from home and mingling with other nomads whom you never saw before and who you may never; see again, makes one appreciate the necessity for pro tection to all detatchable part, Make sure of your motor meter by using one of the several reli able meter locks on the market and tie. your spare on by means of ;a leather covered, -tire lock chain. A dollar or two ".spent in this way may save many times the cost and untold'lnconvenience . Too many drivers have the idea that a bumper is needed only' by the metropolitan driver who" is compelled' to endure traffic jams. This erroneous belief has led many tourists td travel without bumpers because, in their opinion they are away from city traffic and there for -have i no need for bumpers. This is fallacious, reasoning. The motor tourist is lust as 11 able to emergencies as the .metro politan driver for which reason he has as great a need for a reliable spring bar bumper. As one auto motive expert has it: "there can be1 no compromise with safety." If a bumper is being selected make sure it has a deep shock space as only through this can a bumper absorb or cushion an impact. More and more highway police are becoming militant in the mat ter of night drivers traveling with only one head, light burning:. 'Dead Eye Dicks," as they call such dirvers, are-to be 'arrested and. fined for lack of proper, head lighting. Now it is not always pos sible for a driver to tell whether both lamps are burning or only one, without getting out and look ing in front of the car. This is in convenient, especially when it is raining or when haste is neces sary. Equipping the head lights with little show-light indicators is further insurance against , trouble either, from the police1 or. from passing motorists.

There has been a. 30 per cent increase in visitation to Oregon Caves, on the Redwood 'highway. during the period January 1 to May 1 this year, as compared to the same period last year. During the past three years', the RedwDod highway is the only main artery in Oregon showing a Steady and consistent Increase In traffic, according ' to 'figures compiled by the chamber , of commerce.

"One raason the Redwood nigh way is destined to become the I .most popular interstate route. declared Frederick II. Meyer, pres ident of the association, "is that it, is the coolest route. The aver- erage summer temperature is only 62 degrees, since the Redwood highway leads through over 100 miles of giant, shady redwoods. and the Redwood highway also follows the shores of the Pacific ocean 'for many more miles. "Another reason is that the Redwood empire offers the great bulbs and spark plugs and ' other I est and most extraordinary variety HOY TO CONSERVE .YOUR TIRES, TOLD (Cod tinned from pas 1.) tires, declare Miller tire men. : -Wheels on which the tires toe- in excessively have h effect of rubbing the tire tread against the road, greatly reducing Its life. Special devices which are in the possession : of many tire dealers greatly facilitate the checking ofJ toe-in and pitch and these things should be checked" by every motor- ist" at least 'once ' each season. ; r " When the toe-in does not agree with, the manufacturers recom mendations it may be easily, ad justed by adjusting the tie rod or distance f rod.
