There were two principal faults oi newspaper English. First. incorrect ness. which might be due to haste or ignorance. and. secondly, bad taste which showed itself in a striving smartness. a desire to write in what these writers themselves called a "crisp style" The latter fault was the worst of the two though he had no desire to excuse incorrectness. Bad taste was not only seen in the abuse of language; it was shown also in the protrusion of the writer's personality It might be said that he was an unduly severe critic of the halfpenny papers. But he thought he was justified in his criticism. These papers were often enormously wealthy. and could well afford to employ better writers or to encourage a higher standard of writ. ing in their columns. Moreover. from their great circulation they could in huence far larger section of the public than could any other form Of literature Sir Robertson Nicoll. in London Home Messenger.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 14--At 10 o'clock the ice gorge here has piled up against the bridge. Traffic has been stopped. electric lights and all power has been shut of. Schools in North Lawrence have been closed down to enable persons on the north side of the river to get across. The only thing that can prevent a catastrophe will be an easing up of the velocity with which the gorge Is coming down the river.

BRIDGES IN DANGER
ICE AND HIGH WATER IN RAW RIVER THREATEN DAMAGE
 AT KANSAS CITY.
UPSTREAM STRUCTURES out
Bridges Across the River at Willard, Valencia and Lecompton Have Been Swept Away-Ice Piled Against Structure at Lawrence.

Kansas City, Jan. 14.-A combina- ton of ice gorges and high water threatens the bridges across the Raw river at Kansas City. Already several structures above Topeka have been carried away and the heavy Ice Is moving swiftly down stream.
 A heavy body of ice is In the middle of the river here with a swift current flowing on either side next the banks. Above Kansas City, the rain and melt ing snow has been pouring great vol umes of water into the Raw. softening the thick ice and threatening a general breakup.
 Old residents recall a great ice gorge near the mouth of the Kaw in 1856 that damned the streams and threw tons of catfish out on the banks They say the January thaw of 1910 may repeat the performance, but that little damage probably will result.
 Fourteen heavy steel bridges span the Kaw river within the limits of Kansas City, Kan, and the many piers and abutments would be a hindrance to the flow of ice down stream she uld there be a general break up.
 Early to-day there was narrow channel open in the Missouri river, and the Raw was pouring into 1t great volume of water and ice The Raw practically was free from ice below the elevated railway bridge at Central avenue. Above that bridge, however, there was large stretch of Ice 250 feet wide with swift channel 50 to 100 feet wide on either side. The current was carrying down the float ing ice from above and gradually was eating away the broad field of thick fee in the middle of the stream. If this condition could last 24 hours the river men say there would be little danger. But with a rising stream and walls of Ice coming down the river it may be different.
 At l o'clock ice was piling against the piers of the West Kansas avenue bridge across the Kaw near the Proc tor & Gamble soap plant, in Kansas City. Kan. Men were at work with long pick poles pushing the large cakes back into the swift current and send Ing them down stream.

tween the stearing gear and the speed
ometer."
The demand for cars seem to be for
cOlOTs, according to the dealers. The
essentials are often overlooked If the
desired color can be obtained. Some
people do not even know the names Of
the best known cars. According to one
of the dealers, a prospective purchaser
same into the auto establishment one
day Of this week and wanted to know
if the dealer there handled those big
pearl gray cars that are running around
the streets Of Salt Lake"
THE ignorance some people have for
the names and makes of the various
automobiles is sometimes amusing"
said Sam Sharman Of the Sharman
Auto company. lone day this week
prospective customer came in and
wanted to know if handled the 'Weo'
machine. 1 told him no, but that we
had one Just as good, and a few days
later 1 succeeded in selling him a Stod-
dard-Dayton. The names and makes of
cars, according to the portion of the
public which is not Yersed upon auto
mobiles, are as numerous as the stars.
1 am glad that the auto show is coming,
so that the people will have a chance
to learn something more about the ma
chine"
"A great many Of the people who buy
machines nowadays judge almost en-
tirely by the appearance of the car"
said Frank BOtterill Of the Tom BotteriII
company. "One day 1 was showing q
car that was without a doubt the best
in the city. The prospective customer
was not at all interested, however, ana
turned to another, much inferior. and
said that he liked that one better. The
car was beautiful shade of pearl gray,
and I afterward discovered that the
color was what the man was after.
People Becoming Educated.
''The people are becoming more edu-
Gated, however, as each year rolls
round, and before long I believe that
autos Will sell on their merits, and not
on the shade and color decorations"
One woman would not buy machine
because it did not have a Gabriel horn
attachment, according to one Of the
dealers. She started TO walk out with
out making q purchase when the dealer
explained that the matter of a Gabriel
horn was an incidental and could be
supplied easily. With that she was
pacified and later bought the horn with
the auto along with it.

or smell badly" said one woman. 1.-The
people next door have a car that smells
something awful and makes a lot Of
smoke. I want one that doesn't smoke"
She was advised by the dealer to pur-
chase an electric machine or get a chat
feur that knew his business.
The manufacturers have made a spe-
clal effort this year to meet with the
queer demands Of the public in the way
of colOrs. Almost any machine sold in
Salt Lake can be made in any shade or
color demanded by the purchaser. Wait
until you have decided upon the ma
chine you want advise the dealers, de-
termtne which is the best for the use
to which you want to put (which has
the best brakage and carries the best
make of tires, and is the best all around
machine, then go to the dealer and ne
will see that all Of the inctdentals are
supplied.

Energy is generally measured in horse
power.
Horsepower means quantity.
Let's measure energy in inches-which
means distance.
A motor, let say, has 5-inch stroke.
Power (energy) is produced in each
cylinder on only As of the stroke-a dis
lance of four inches.
The piston in each cylinder travels
down and up twice on each cycle, or (4x5)
20 inches.
In a one-cylinder motor, therefore, the
engine produces four inches Of power in
20, leaving on each cycle 16 pOweriess
inches.
In a four-cyIinder motor the engine pro-
duces (4x4) 16 inches of power in 20, leav-
ing on each cycle four pOWeriess inches.
In a six-cylinder motor the engine pro-
duces (6x4) "A inches Of power in 20, CIV

ing inches more power than the distance
of the cycle.
Thus the four-cylinder motor has not
enough power to equal the distance Of
the cycle.
This shortage means intervals of no
power.
The Six has more than enough to equal
the distance Of the cycle.
This surplus Of power makes II impos-
sible for the Six to be without power.
Hence the Six (and only the Six has
continuous power.
Every motor (while rUnning) is either
making or using up power.
If this were not so We would have Per-
petuaI Motion right now.
Every one, two, three and four-cylnder
motor uses up it's own power TO drive it
self through those inches in which It Is
not making power.

POWER MEASURED IN INCHES

What would you have your motor do;
waste power in driving Itself, or use every
ounce of its power in driving the car?
Foolish question? Not at all.
If your motor could talk, It would tell
you that IL cant drive the car as well
when it has to drive itself also as Il
could If 1t had only to drive the car
That's where the Six his the big ad-
vantage over all motors having less than
six cylinders.
The Six has continuous power.
1t is always driving the ear and never
wasting power in driving itself.

q believe that the bill is a good one, 4"
said one of the dealers. 1T is just what
the auto owners of the country have
been after for some time, namely, the
uniformity Of laws concerning the own
ership of the machine. The clause in
the proposed bill in which it viii re-
quire the applicant for the license to
prove his ability to operate his car, will
be one Of the means by which many
accidents will be averted."
The members Of the committee who
will act upon the bill, and who will be
requested by most of the autoists pres
ent at the meeting to act favorably, are
as follows:

= . THE SPITBALL.

Il Takes Great Strength and Speed to
Pitch Il Properly.
Describing the spitball In baseball
and the way it Is pitched. Hugh s.
Fullerton in the American Magazine
says:
There came into baseball in 1908 a
ball which came near revolutionizing
the game and brought a new era of
pitching. made great pitchers out Of
q s-beens' and poor hitters out Of once
e,hty sluggers.
The ball is pitched with two. some
times with three. fingers held on one
side Of the ball and with the thumb or
tip Of the thumb and nail being grip
ped hard against the seam at the
opposite side of the sphere. The top of
the ball is made slippery at the point
Of contact with the fingers, 80 that the
sphere slides OF the fingers with the
minimum Of friction. while the thumb.
pressed hard against the seam, gives
the maximum Of friction. the result
being that the ball, leaving the hand,
takes heavy English from the thumb
and starts revolving rapidly In the d.

naturally would rotate. Therefore 1t
whirls rapidly for q short distance I'M
til the natural but suspended motion
OF the ball overcomes the false Eng.
lish' applied by the thumb ana q con-
test between the natural and unnatural
forces ensues. The ball ceases revolv-
ing unnaturally and floats and wabbles
until the natural twist overcomes the
false one. and then the ball darts just
as 1t would have done II 1t had been
curved naturally. shooting in the direc-
ton in which the heaviest friction was
applied. A spitbau II pitched direct
ly overland darts almost straight
downward, and II pitched side arm
with the thumb toward the body II
shoots outward and down as a fast
outcurve does, the quickness and speed
Of the break depending entirely upon
the amount Of force with which II
Is thrown and IN ratio to the amount
Of friction applied by the thumb OF
lack Of friction BY the fingers. Great
strength and speed are essential to the
best pitching Of this kind Of ball"
