Roumanian Railroads Using Oil.

The consumption of oil for fuel puf'

took UP the use of it in earnest. For
the first year the consumption was
10000 tons. The extension OF Its use
has been wonderful, reaching $4,000
tons during the last year. To-day
Roumania has GAO engines in constant

To Pass High Water Mark.
According to a statement given on,
by Chairman Hover in Chicago yes
terday. the previous high water mark
for the Glidden tour has been seventy
six entries. More than this number
he says, is already assured for the
tour this year. Commenting on the
tour he said:
Detroit manufacturers already
have nominated fifteen cars and we
have their deposit OF $4,000 to guar
antee that this number of cars will be
at the starting point. Deposits have
been made for twenty-three other cars
which is phenomenal so far in ad
vance of the tour, which does not start
until July.
st is possible for us to go around
Chicago by way of Indianapolis. Joliet
and Milwaukee, although that part OF
the route as given out has been ap
proved. My ideas are vague on the
definite route from Omaha to Den
yer and from Denver to Kansas City
I'VE are not afraid of the sandy
roads from Minneapolis to Omaha
through Sioux City. but If this route
is proved impossible by the official
pathfinder we will come south through
Iowa.
Mr.. Hover admitted that he is
somewhat afraid of the Missouri val
ley mud, but contended that a little
rain would make the test harder than
ever before. If the weather is dry q
very fast schedule will be arranged
across the plains of Nebraska, and
again in Kansas on the return trip.
Scout Car to Start April I.
At a later conference between Chair
man Hover and e. Leroy Pelletier, OF
the Undergraduates company
of Detroit, the concern which will
send out the Glidden pathfinder, it was
decided to start the scouting for the
Glidden route April l rather than the
middle of the month. This decision
was reached because of the rough
and muddy condition of western roads
during the spring.
Mr. Hover considered month as
sufficient time for the work of map
ping out route. but Mr.. Pelletier's
experience with this part of the coun
try influenced the chairman to give
at least six weeks to the scouts.
