INTEREST SHOWN
IN CARTER AUTOS
TWO-Engine Cars Attract
Much Attention From
Enthusiasts.

The current Of favorable comment
concerning the exhibit OF The Carter
two-engine car Is a prominent after
math Of the recent Automobile Show.
Even though the weather conditions
have been vile. the two-engIne en-
thusiasts have increased. rather than
diminished. public interest in the car,
and the constantly Frightening pros
poets II the company. In the offices Of
the Carter Motor Car Corporation. in
the Mursey building. there is now on
exhibit the recently patented double
radiator for use on all water-cooled
cars. which was delayed IN transit and
failed to reach the city before the close
Of the show.
The principle Of the double radiator is
identical with that OF the two-engine
car. in that should one radiator become
disabled, through leakage or mishap,
the other one IS Immediately available
for use To all general appearances the
radiator is like any single radiator. with
the exception II two filler caps instead
OF one. The method Of distribution Of
the water through the honeycomb or
cells OF the radiaung surface is like the
radiat rs Of the usual single pattern.
After. however. the water has been
pumped into the double radiator. II
passes through two separate tubes. pro-
vided both engines are working. or NAV

and through one engine by the use Of

loss 10 the company would arouse II 10
the kcerest desire to place the respon-

gineers at sea In a fog, the engineers
OF these trains claim they could not see
the lights on the rear Of the train at
the station.
It Is claimed that the block system Of
signals is the best that has ever been
discovered. Now the question arises
What can be done TO enable the man IN

and storms. so that no such accidents
could happen in the future? In this day

Railroad companies. like individuals
are at the mercy Of employees. and II IS
not TO be expected that there viii ever
be time when there VIII not be disaster

with proper vigilance accidents can
surely be minimized
Some Of the survivors OF the most re-
cent catastrophe are positive that II
was chargeable TO gross careIessness on
the part of some OF the employees OF the
company. II II is proven that this Is
true, the guilty should be hunte.I down

Only a few days previous a similar
collision between a stationary and

fifty human lives were blotted out and
more than half a hundred more so

probably not recover.
At that early hour the fog was so
dense and the sky SO overcast with
mUrky clouds that no one could see

SUCH A HANDSOME BEAST
IS THE RED RIVER HOG

That really beautiful species. the Red
river hog OF South Africa, is now well
represented in the London zoo. In COM
mon with other Juvenile pigs. the Red
liver hog is striped in the early part of
its life. When about three months old
II loses these markings and the body
has spotted appearance.
The adult is one OF the most brilliant
ly colored Of mammals In existence. but
its bright red hue no doubt harmonizes
with its surroundings. the soil in many
parts Of West Africa being red. 1t is of
an elegant shape. and. with it's tufted
tail and long. penciled ears. has cOnsid-
cradle pretensions to beauty
Though IL has not the enormous uusks
found in many of the wild swine, the
Red river hog is not devoid OF means of
defense. Its face is protected by hard
callosities on each side just below the
eyes. and there is a bOny ridge on each
side of the upper jaw. And that these
growths are not merely ornamental is
proved by the fact that the animal can
hold its own with the wart hog. a spe-
cies provided with formidable upturned
tuskS.
