'A T Interest In the western motor world today Is ngain centered on Durant automobiles following tho tevorU-maklnp performance of a ljuiarit tUx -Sixty juailster . roceutly ' in Snnta: Cruz, Calif., uonuietiiiK lor a perpetual trophy offered by the Santa, Cruz Evening wvthe Durant,' ; according to press uis .Vjmtches tb Nick Ulndt, of tfnbln A jTRlndt,' local Durunt dealers ur muuiued the steep slopes of "Mo torcycle Hill," near, the outskirts - of thn city, for thn first time in the history of moionlom. , The hill Is known . throughout northern California for its stepp Kradlonts. These reach in a num ber of sections as hili as G3 pr cent. It has been u ustiritf wound lor motorcycles fur a number of yt-ars and long has been considered by Santa Cruz automobile men ns inHurmountablo by motor cars. Countless deep ruts and furrows, and a tall, thick growth of grass on all sides are but a few or the many barriers to motor vehicles, wiy motorcycle riders here who havo covered th approximately GOO yards from the bottom to the crest. . The Durunt roadster, which, Under the rules of competition - must be a strictly stock model nutomobile piloted by an amateur driver, was driven by H. T. Kuhl inun of Oakland. It is the same car. according to officials of the Western Durunt ' factory, which, with Kublmun at the whet!, re cently captured the famous chal lenge trophy offered by the Oak land Post-Knquirer for the fast en t time made by an automobile up the famous slope of Mount Diablo. The record for that event, 23 min utes 15 and 4-5 seconds, and the coveted cup still are in the posses sion of Durante It Is said. 1'rlnr to the Santu Cruz perfor mance, the car was certified by those in charge to be the same Durant in every respect as those sold by Durant dealers as model Six-Sixty. "The Spectacular feat of the Durant, which was witnessed by hundreds of Sunday motorists from the Han Krancisco bay cities, Santa Cruz and neighboring towns, . was accomplished following a short run ut the bottom of the hill," says a newspaper account of the event. "Kuhlman thrilled the spectators with a skidding turn up the mountain-side from the level terrain and his path was marked iby great clouds of dust thuown "sup ' by the chain covered rear wheels. The car was obscured at times in the tall, wild grass, but it never faltered during the pteep ascent, t.'pon his arrival at .the summit, Kuhlman was the recipient of a throaty chorus of cheers from his amazed audience. . "Not satisfied With attempting the difficult feat but once, the pilot tore up the precipitous hill seven times in succession. The lastest time recorded for the numerous ascents was 55.3 sec onds. It is thought In motoring circles here that this record will remain unbroken for some time to come." il-c1es Fifteen to thirty thousand miles Is not unusual for a Fisk all-cord tire of modern construction, as compared with half the mileage as recently as ten years ago, ac cording to Sam Jennings, local Fisk dealer. Among the reasons for the modern durability of Fisks is the so-called "all-cord" process of construction. In non-technical language n tire is built up of sheets of rubber pressed Into and around a founda tion or "carcass", of twine or covd. For a six-ply tire, half a dozen thicknesses of this rubber-and-cord sheeting are laid one on top of the other to make up the casing. Formerly Fisk followed the prac tice common to tire building of ty ing the cords together with crop threads nt intervals. Thus the cords running parallel to the wheel track were akin to the warp In a fabric, while the widely spaced cross fiords were comparable to the woof or filling threads found in cloth. liecauso the fitting cords ran at right angles to the course of-the main cords, and were subject to Innumerable strains as the tires went over bumps, they stretched and broke far more -than tho cords running parallel. Fisk" developed methods and machinery to make the methods practical, of dispens ing entirely with the cross cords. Thereby came tho present practice, and with It a greatly increased mileage, of pressing the rubber firmly Into a warp of closely laid curds all running parallel and with no cross threads to stretch or break.

The dark-haired, athletic-looking premier has Just added a new feather to his cap. He has, ordered the dismissal of a number of pro vincial functionaries who were ad hering to the old tradition, dear to Balkan officialdom, of "dolce far nlente."

General Zlvkovltclt is mak ing surprise visits to every town and village of the kingdom. As the press is severely censored, the movements of Jugoslavia's Crom well are carefully kept from the public. Sometimes King Alexan der's righthand man appears in disguise, mingles with the public, hears their views and offers sug gestions, i In one of these visits In a small village In Ialmatia, the premier saw the door of the small court house wide open. Ho strolled in but found nobody. The judges, clerks, and even the doorman were away. He remained there for two hours. When he left he scribbled a severely-worded message dismissing everybody from the Judge down to the Janitor. Sept. 21. RACriAMKXTO.

The clerk laboriously counting Items on the schedules iind adding columns of figures may be com pared with the old-time shoemak er, turning out completed shoes at the rate of three pairs a week, while the present day organisation, equipped with the various kinds of tubulating and computing mach ines, may be compared wmi win modern shoe factory turning out twenty-five or thirty pairs ol shoos a week for each employee. Tho first task in tabulating the population census is to transfer the Information reported for each person to a punched curd on which the position of the holes Indicates the characteristics reported. The 120 million cards required for this purpose, slacked on racks seven feet high, will occupy moro than a quarter of an aero of floor apac; After the cards aro punched the. ..e nuien to the eleeU'lc sort ing machines and sorted by sex, color and nativity. Then they are run through the tabulating mach ines, which count numerous other Items, such as age, place of birth, Illiteracy or occupation. These machines will county sixty items or combinations at the same time and print tho totals. Slums' Towns or all Sizes Tho census must show the popu- I lati.ui of every political subdivision In the United Slates. I'onsider what that means! There are In the coun try about 3.1110 counties; there are about 17,0110 incorporated cities, boroughs und villages, ranging in size from the village of Dering Harbor. X. Y., which at the last census boasted three Inhabitants, to the great metropolis of New York, which lias n. population of I more than fi million. ! There also are about 4r,.000 townships or similar political units. At the coining census we must as : certain the population of each of these political subdivision .o.ooti or more and before wo can do that we must havo mnps showing the location and boundaries of all these areas. Before wo can tnko tho census, the entire area of tho United States must lie laid off Into enu meration districts, each large en ough, but not too large, to be can vassed by a singlo enumerator. In the cities these districts will in clude about 1,800 persons. In the rural areas, whero the enumerator must cover more territory, the population will ho smaller; hut the rural enumerator has to get data for tho farms ns well ns the peopl".
