Three yeara ago the number of horses in America began to dwindle and last year no less a jrtisan of the horse than the aeerftary of agricul ture ai.l in hia annual report: "Slow ly but surely the auto truck it driving dray horse from the eity street. Al ready the automobile has effectually put the driving horse off the country roads. The farm demand for aeveral yeara has been the mainstay of the horse market." But just at the moment that the au tomobile had the hone dangling over tho ropea ready to sag under the fin ishing wallop, America entered the war and under the stimulating effect of a heavy demand far eavalry horses and for increased motive power through out the nation, tirel Mr. Epulis got back his wind and now is battling away with all four teet determined to last out several more rounds. Oa automobile enthusiast has point ed out that the horse eats so much that there would be au immediate de mand for liig destruction were it pos sible to repLaco him quickly foT the work which must be done. By way of statistic this enthusiast points out that while only 60,000,000 acres of farm hinds in this country are devot ed to wheat growing, 41,000,000 are ' given up to oats and 54.000,000 acre to hay, two articles of diet which are essentially horsefeed. .Ninety five million acres for horse feed and only sixty million for wheat in these times when every , acre counts, shows alto gether too much favoritism to the horse, in this man's opinion. The motor truck easily demonstrates its superiority over the horse drawn truck in tho preseut national emergen cy in which 'the automobile has been called on to help out the railroads.

Clough gZ.TSZ j """""" ""MMMMHMMHMM I Copvrighl, 19 IS, by Tho fwleniodonal Syndicate, Warming The Engine On The Road. N CONNECTION WITH the campaign for saving gasoline there Is one wasteful and very common practice of motorists to which, attention may properly be called. It Is the long continued Idle running of engines for the purpose of so warming them as to secure perfect per formance. It In the custom of too many drivers to start their engines and allow them to run fast or even to race, with the car standing, until they run reliably on the mixture normally furnished by the carburetor. Several minutes are sometimes required for this, when the weather Is cold, espe cially when, as often happens, the radiator Is not covered and the fan Is In operation. What Is the use of burning gasoline and wearing out an engine In Oils Idle running when, by tailing a few simple precautions, an engine ran Juki as well be warmed up on the road and be driven a long distance toward Its destination on the gasoline that Is otherwise wasted? Besides, this noisy racing of engines, with frequent nuitller and carburetor explo sions, for the purpose of getting them going Is highly offensive to the publte and wastes a lot of time tor thoughtless drivers. It Is perfectly true that a very cold engine, unless It is fed an excess of gasoline, will often stall, when 'he throttle Is widely opened under load, but almost any cold engine, that will turn Itself over, Idle, will move a car on level going, with the low gear engaged. One docs not have to drive always on high gear and even on low gear, a car makes more progress toward its destination than when standing with the engine racing. After a cold engine has moved its car for a while on low speed, It will usually be found that second speed can be engaged, without causing stalling and, soon after, that high gear can be made use of. It Is well to remember that missed explosions are much less disagree able .when a low rather than a high gear Is engaged. Here are a few sug gestions for warming up an engine on the road and avoiding useless and offensive Idling at the curb or in the' garage: Cover the radiator front as aoon as the engine starts. Employ some means for providing excess gaso line to the cylinders at starting and discontinue Its use as soon as practic able. Make use of a heated intake if possible. Run on low gear at first and change to higher speeds as soon as the engine will run on them. TIRE TROUBLE We specialize in taking care of this.

FTEL ECONOMY OF STEAM A XI) CAS CARS. N. E. E. aoks: Which is the more economical with respect to the fuel used, a steamer or a gasoline ear? Answer: The engine of the gaso line car turns into power more of the heat In the fuel It uses, than does the engine of the steam car and If frasollne were used as fuel in both the gasoline and steam cur. the for mer would prove the less expensive to operate, assuming weights and conditions of service to be similar. However, kerosene Is generally and very successfully used In steam cars, but is not as yet applicable as fuel for the Internal combustion motors of gasoline cars and the ability of the steam car to utilise the cheaper fuel may counterbalance or even mora than overcome .the superior efficiency of the ftuoline engine and render the fuel expense of a steam car fully as low aa (hat of a gajni'.lne car. indications, to Hat wood.
