CORPS OF ENGINEERS WILL RUN PRE-
LIMlNARY LINE FROM MILLBOR0,
THROUGH BATH And HIGH
LAND.

On yesterday, Mr.. j. IL. Nrogg,
of ParkerSburg, treasurer OF the u.
S. Lumber Company. which owns
$4,000 acres of timber land in High
land and Bath counties. came to
Stanton in his automobile, accom-
panied by Mcssrs. r. c. Grogg, p.
r. Stephenson, r. W. Dunbar,
VIM. Starbuck, of Parkersburg,
Chas. Mooney, of Athens, Ohio, and
j. V. Dunbar, n civil engineer.
They found the old Staunton and

ties, w. Va, b t first rate IN Nlr-
ginia. They we're looking over the
country generally, that is, those
who had not been over it before,
and at the same time getting some
pleasure and health from their out
ing.
Mr.. j. II. Grogg, of course. has
often been over this country, as his
connection with the U. S. Lumber
Company dates back to its incorpo-
ration.
Mr.. J. V. Dunbar, the civil engi-
neer, will begin one of several, sur

railway. near Millboro, through
Bath and Highland Counties, pass
ing, in the first survey, by Williams
vile, along the Bull Pasture River
on toward Petersburg, in Grant
County, w. Va, which is now the
terminus of the South Branch Rail
way recently built from Romney
via Moorefeld.
The starting points of the other
surveys may be, one east of Mill
boro, say at Goshen, the other prob
ably west of Millboro and east OF
Clifton Forge. The idea just now
seems to be to get accurately the
best location for a railway through
that country for which no previous
data is accessible, inasmuch as there
never has been more than a horse
back trip by an engineer over the
routes. The eastern terminus OF
the road, beyond the c. e. O. june
ton is not yet being discussed, but
it is believed by Mr.. Grogg and his
associates that a road through be-
tween the points named, that is
from Petersburg eastward, woulo

much timber and iron ore exists
and give a very direct and easy
route to the seaboard for heavy
freight from Pittsburg and possibly

Mr.. Grogg admits that it is a little
difficult to get money for railroads
just now, but he says there is a
spirit among the people of High.

such an enterprise, vastly more
friendly than ever before, and his
company, if it undertakes the line,
will meet the people in the same
friendly spirit in which they seem
willing to meet it. He and his as

sible for only a part Of the trouble Is con-
ceded. Manufacturers are now beginning
to realize the size of the tire is the deter
mining factor. A tire with a greater road
surface, 1t is found, is considerably mini
mlzing the trouble, and together with the
continual Improvement of road surface will,
in a few years. entirely eliminate the
nuisance.
A small touring car which, a year ago,
was using a SOxSh or SOx3h tire is now
using a tire at least 31x4. The greater
width is, OF course, an easy matter, but
to enable the larger diameter to fit on the
smaller size wheel the tire has to be spe-
cially designed or the rim differently
equipped.
The large machines, which until quite
recently, we're equipped with tire S4x2h
or S4x4, are now made for tires Ska or
37x4k, This change has brought entire
freedom from puuctures.
While the price charged for the larger
tires is somewhat in excess OF the small
size price, yet it is contended the tire is
not so subject to wear and tear. while un-
questionably there is not the same danger
Of heating, which Is so noticeable In the
smaller tires But principally II helps along
towards the solution Of the punotura
problem.

empty out the electrolyte and wash the
case thoroughly with soft water. Pour in
only about seven-eighths OF acid solution
and fill up with distilled water to cover the
top of the plates, The battery should then
be charged with a low current until the
plates are restored to their normal condi-
ton. If very badly sulphated, the white
coating should be washed off with a rag, in
case this fails to remove 1t, scraping must
be resorted to. 1t the electrolyte is not
sufficient TO cover the top of the plates,
fiji up with distilled water so that the
liquid viii just cover them. The specific
gravity of the electrolyte should not be
less than 1.15O, and, although varying
somewhat, a hydrometer reading OF 1880
is recommended. This is approximately one
part Of %sulphuric acid to ~ parts of'water,
which will be found sufficiently accurate

lyte should test lower thanithe first figure

Examine the brakes TO ascertain II the
lining is in good condition. II worn. the
old lining should be replaced with new.
IL the brakes are of the iRternal-expanding
type, the shoes may have become worn, in
which case they should be renewed. Tog-
gle joints and adjusting nuts should be in
spected and any looseness taken up. Brakes
should be adjusted on the road, as any
improper adjustment of the equalizer bar
win have a strong tendency to make the
car skid. Both brakes should be adjusted
alike, that the braking force applied by the
equalizer nay be transmitted to the wheels
equally.
The tires should be cleaned of the old
chalk on the inside OF the shoe, II they
are badly worn on the treads, but other
wise In good shape, send then to the fac
tory to be rethreaded. A tire should never
be kept on the car after the rubber tread
wears down so as to expose the fabric. Any
small cuts and holes should be washed
out and filled with rubber solution.
lime tubes should be tested for leaky
valves and patches attended to at once
The old castings and tubes may be made
to give considerable additional mileage by
using them on the front wheels. while the
strain is not so severe.
Look over the electrical plant and re-
place worn wires with new. Clean out the
timer with gasoline and lubrleate with

little surface cleaning, a few drops Of old,

coupled. which gives sufficient room be-
tween clutch and gear box to take the
clutch apart. IL the latter is OF the cone
type, It may be found that the leather
face is badly worn and that a new leather
is necessary. This is not a very difficult
job, but requires painstaking work.
Remove the old leather by cutting off the
rivets on the underside and driving the
rivets through to the outside. Keep the
old leather and use it as a pattern by
which TO cut the new piece. 1t will be
much better. however, TO purchase from
the factory a new leather Of the proper
width and thickness. AS a new leather
will nave considerable give" it must be
stretched tightly over the cone. First cut
one end OF the leather square and fasten
II to the cone with two rivets. The other
end should not be cut at this stage of the
work, but brought around to meet the
fastened end, and, after tightly stretching
It over the small end of the cone, fasten
II with a single rivet. Then force the
leather up onto the cone, drill out and
countersink the holes and rivet up Sc
curely. The only knack IN the operation
is to keep the leather tight that it may
be a snug fit on the cone. A loose leather
win. naturally, be a dead failure. After
the leather has been forced into its place
the uncut end should be trimmed to make
a good Joint. Any unevenness may be
trued up with a file. The new leather win
readily absorb several applications of cas-
tor oil before it becomes smooth and plia-
bile.
Care should be taken that the rivet heads
are eountersunk below the surface OF the
leather. In case they work flush, owing
to the wearing down Of the leather face,
they should be reriveted. The biting" or
jerky action OF a cone clutch may often be
traced to the rivets working out, and this
will frequently prevent the clutch from
being readily d~isengaged. Reriveting will
prove an effective remedy in this case, and
considerable additional service may be had
from the leather before It wears down to
the rivet heads.
The differential gear should be tested
with a view to locating any wear or side
play. This may be done by jerking up the
rear axle and shaking one wheel forward
and backward while the other is held sta
tionary. and noting how far the wheel
must be turned before the movement IS
taken up by the nywheel OF the engine
Any noticeable play will generally be found
either In the center pinions or studs Of the
differential gear. In the large and small
bevel gears. in the clutch sleeve, or in the
universal joints. The differential gear and

ting down any sudden uprisings. Their
ability to be on the scene of action almost
at once. it is believed, will have a strong
Influence toward preventing any demon
stration on the part of strikers or mobs,
TO say nothing of their value in times OF
war.
The rapid transportation of even light
field pieces has always been one of the
great difficulties In quick maneuverlng and
Indications are that some form of auto
mobile mounting for these guns will event
uaily be the result OF the present expert
ments. In a few instances even larger
and heavier rapid-fire guns rave been
mounted on trucks accompanied by motor
driven ammunition wagons for the purpose
of demonstrating the possibility Of quickly
placing into position on the firing line guns
thus mounted.
The action taken by the English govern
ment in regard to pressing into service
privately-owned automobiles in time Of
emergency will probably be followed by
other foreign countries, and perhaps In
time by our own government, as this is
very much along the same line as the
present regulations which make is possible
for the government to draft any able-bodled
man when needed.
All indications point to the development
and use Of special types Of cars for carry
ing rapid-fire guns and also for the trans
portation Of troops In quantities, these be-
ing machines designed for this purpose
alone. The part which is to be played by
the automobile in future wars will prob
ably be an important one and give consid

before any considerable amount
of play is evident. The joint pins of the
shaft may become loose through
wear, IN which case q. knocking noise in
the transmission gear will indicate the
cause and location of the trouble These
pins may be readily replaced with new
ones at small cost. II the play is found in
the bevel gears, the small gear should be
adjusted TO mesh deeper with it's larger
mate. This may be done by means of an
adjustable locking ring or by inserting a
washer OF the proper thickness. 1t may
be found, however, that no adjustment is
necessary, and a thorough cleaning with
gasoline to remove all oil and grease will
be all that is required. The case should
then be refilled with the quantity of oil and
grease recommended by the manufacturers.
oil pipes or leads which conduct the
oil TO the bearings should be removed and
all old oil washed out by forcing gasoline
through them. Care should be taken that
passages OF all oil leads are clear and
unrestricted. The oil pump should be
taken apart and given a thorough cleaning
with gasoline. The sight feed lubricator
on the dash should also be cleaned out and
the glasses wiped and washed out with
gasoline.
Look at the Steering Gear.
The steering gear is a. very important
part Of the car, and, as the safety OF the
occupants may be endangered by any
binding. the reader should give It even
more careful attention than the other
parts. The gear should be taken down,
given a thorough cleaning and examined
for possible wear. In case the steering
action Is stiff and the wheel turns hard
the ball point may be out of adjustment
due to wear; the steering link may oe
bent or the cause may be insufficient
fabrication. II there is any considerable
amount OF blackash, the cause may be
looked for In the Joints OF the levers, In
the swival pin, in loose bearings. or in
wear OF the form and sector. Another
common cause OF blechash is, often found
In the wheels. which work out OF align
ment. II Is essential that all moving parts
OF the steering gear be well fabricated.
The distance rod Is easily bent which
throws the front wheels out OF line. This
Is a common cause Of "side Slip and
