NO. 38 FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION game law Yale Professor Declares Made Easier by Change in Public Sentiment A lew years ago it was impossible t o g e t a j u t y to convict people in certain parts of the s'ale for viola tion ol game laws. This is grad ually changing. Farmers and other landowners have become more in terested in game protection. They have come to understand that game is one of our most valuable resour ces • From the time the Fish and Game Commission took office, on May 21, 1911, to December 1, 1912, 632 ariesls were made for violation of the game laws Out oi this num- bet, 420 convictions were secured, or 66 yi per cent ol the persons ar rested Were convicted. During the year 1913, there were 312 arrests and 229 convictious, or 73 per cent of those arrested were convicted. During the past year of 1914, there were 333 arrests and 307. or 92 per cent ol those arrested were coovicted. In the biennial report of the Cal ifornia Fish and Game Commission recently published, concerning the arrests and convictions during the past two years, it says: “ The percentage of convictious obtained, 83 per cent, is, so far as we know, the highest ever obtained iu the country by any Fish and Game Board.” The credit lor the high percentage of convictions in game cases, and for the improvement of game con ditions in Oregon, must be given to the warden service throughout the state. These men have worked caielully and intelligently to inter est people in the value of our game resources, and to get co-opetation in making Oregon a great game state. --- > — —— ----- Shriners are Active Seattle, Wash.— Seventy-five per cent of the tourists who visit the California exposition and do not intend to remain in the southern state for a long period of time, will return home through the Pacific Northwest, according to prominent Shriners returning to Seattle from extended trips through California While the past winter’s “ crop” of touiists has not been up to the usual standard, due to business conditions, the tide has already turned and immediately alter June first the hordes will begin to toll in. 1 he European war has compelled many to turn westward for their travel and the entire North west will profit immeasurably from it this summer.

Outcry is Hysterical The billowing p;otest against the antagonistic attitude toward Get mmy displayed frequently in Amer ica was wiitteo lor the New Yolk Times by Yandell Hendjrson, pro fessor of physiology at Yule univer sity. Professor Henderson was bom in Keutucky and educated at Yale and in Germany. He served es ensign in the United Slates navy during the war with Spain and as naval aid to General Miles in the Porto Kican Expedition. He has taken an active part in politics. He is a member of many learned soci eties and is the author of numtruus scientific articles. Prolessor Hen derson’s letter to the Times follows: “ Yale University, May 18, 1915 "Now, if ever, those who do uot agree with the popular outcry against Germ ny should speak out and should stand stubbornly against are the rapidly multiplying bleed of Anglomaniacs. “ Many ol the Atiglomauia> s among 41s seem to have lorgolten that the Lusitania was not an American ship and to care more for British ships than for our own.

What part does glycerin play in an anti-freeze aolution? Glycerin ts used In antt-rrecze solu tions for tbe reason that It prevents tbe alcohol In such solutions from evap- orattug rapidly and thus preserves the power o f the mixture to resist the cold.

Spinning alwaya atarto it, but this I am unable to do. It alwaya otarta readily if thrown into high whan rolling down a grade. The fact that you have no trouble tn starting tlie motor when cold would In dicate Immediately that the trouble ts not In the Ignition system. If you will try a slightly richer mixture on the car bureter It may relieve tbe trouble. An other possible cause Is that the valves nmy be udjusted too close so that when cold they close, but wheu warm there Is an air leak that dilutes tbe mixture. Carbon trouble also acts this way at times, aud if tbe motor has not been cleaned out lately It Is suggested that tbe carbon be removed. Another possi ble feature which does come under tbe bead o f Ignition is that tbe dry bat teries may be weak.

Would a good iron rivet be auitable to rivet a front croaa member to the frame on a light car or ehould it be put on with eteel rivete? Good Iron rivets would be suitable to use on the frame of a light car. The principal stress endured by these rivets Is one o f sheer through the tend ency to rack on the part o f the frame. A great deal depends upon the manner lit which the riveting Is done. For Instance, It hns been shown In experimenting that a rivet U 0 .S per cent weaker In a drilled bole than In a punched bole and that by rounding tbe edge o f tbe rivet bole the apparent sheering resistance Is Increased 12 per cen t It Is also true that sheering re sistance Is probably less for double than for single sheer, and this Is prob ably due to tbe unequal distribution of the stress ou the two rivet sections. Experiments on tbe sheering strength of Iron und steel rivets would Indicate tbnt tbe proportion o f Iron to steel la as 19 to 22.1. This ratio Is said to be valid only If the sheer is In a plane perpendicular to the direction o f roll ing, which would be approximately tbe case In your cross frame connec tion. What are tha advantages and disad vantages of the disk friction chain drive compared with other typea of tranemieelon now more commonly used? The advantages of the friction trans mission are that It offers an Infinite number o f gear ratios. Is silent, cheap to manufacture and simple. The dis advantage Is that tbe friction disk must be renewed every few thousand miles. This Is a small matter, hot worth noting, and tbe amount of horsepower It will transmit under tbe conditions found In automobile design Is limited. Therefore It has never been used to any extent on large cars, but lias found favor on some cars of medium size and on more small cars. The gear set of my car is of the plan etary typo. When the low speed pedal is pushed down to start there is a knock hoard from the goer sot at regu lar interval's. What is the cause of it? Owing to the speed of the motor In stnrtlng out on low speed the knock you siicnk of possibly Is at the outer bearing or transmission shaft bearing, where the car Is cranked. The dust and dirt continually working In this babbitt cut out tbe bearing sufficient ly to produce a knock at this point. This bearing has a babbitt lining and must be poured to fit tbe shaft.
