The late census returns show that
Sterliug is city Of three thousand pop

from the correct figures but not enough

Future Living Conditions.

M. Jules Bots, the distinguished
French writer, who has discovered
much concerning ancient civilization,
predicts that in hundred years time
the great cities of Europe will be
practically uninhabited except for
business purposes during the daytime.
All classes will live in the country
or in garden cities, to which access
will be cheap and extremely rapid,
owing to the development of pneu-
matte railways o. flying cars. The
motor car will have gone completely
out OF fashion, but the bicycle will
come again in favor. for sort of fly
ing bicycle will be invented, which
will enable the rider to soar In mid.
air.

The master looked down very kindly
at Polly's flushed cheeks and shining

Scott Fairfield's face was white and

he called on Tommy Brown for the

The schoolroom was very quiet.
The master sat at the desk, YEARLY
leaning his head on his hand, his eyes
fixed on a boyish scrawl decorating
the blackboard across the room.

Women as Inventors.

A writer in Casters Magazine cele-
brates the inventive skill of women.
He notes in the long list of me-
chanical devices "springing from the
fertile brain of American womanhood"
a machine for driving barrel hoops, a
steam generator, a baling press, a
steam and fume box, an automatic
floor for elevator shafts, a rail for
street railways. an electric apparatus,
packing for piston rods, locomotive
wheels, railway tie, stock car, a
boring machine for drilling gun
stocks, etc. That is all very well, but
no woman has ever invented a Ca-
chine that will button her up c.ae
bank. She has to marry man to get
that done with neatness and dispatch.

AUBURN CARS ARE
HIT IN The NORTH

L. A. Renif of the Wagner -Renif
motor car company has returned from
Eureka, where he delivered three 40
horsepower four cylinder Auburn tour
ing cars.
Reniff was expected to return after
delivering the cars, but remained two
weeks on account of the great demand
for Auburn cars. The roads around
Eureka are exceedingly rough, and the
showing made by the Auburns was so
pronounced that before returning Reniff
secured six additional orders for cars.
He will leave this week for the south
ern part of the territory handled by
his company to deliver several cars.

FAVORS THE LONG
STROKE FOR AUTOS
Louis Renault Tells of His Ex.
perience in Making Lead
ing French Car

Rene ]. Marx. Pacific coast manager
of the Renault Freres selling branch.
has received the following interesting
information in a letter from Louis
Renault:
In the early stages of the automo-
bile industry the tendency was TO
manufacture motors of small stroke;
for many years. even. factories were
turning out motors using the same
measurement for the bore and the
stroke. but it was perceptible that
these motors were not mechanically
right First of all. they were found TO
be too noisy. owing TO their great
speed; much fuel was required on ac-
count of the friction and great loss OF
power in relation to the number OF
explosions a minute. Furthermore.
these engines. while able to give plenty
of power. were entirely inhexible. and
as soon as the speed ratio began TO
decrease the power also decreased IN
a great proportion.
1T has been found by constant prac-
tice with motors. that to have an easy
running car the gears nOiseless and
the chassis without vibration, the
motor at its full power must not exceed
1,200 to 1 400 revolutions minute II
the motor is running at a higher rate
of revolutions a minute, il will be
found that the inconvenience, as al
ready stated. will be unbearable.
The longer the stroke of a motor
the more suppleness it gives to it-that
is, the engine is susceptible to giving
more power at slow speed, and In this
manner doing away with the change
of speeds and allowing faster picking
up
From what has already been stated
it will be found that there is a benefit
In having the longest stroke possible.
but at the same time the engine will
have to give its full power in the
neighborhoOd of 1900 to 1.40O revolu-
tions a minute. To conclude the fore
going statement. it all sifts down to
the one point-that the greatest ad-
vantage in a car viii b. obtained BY
having the longest possible stroke

MOTOR CARS ARE
EASY TO OPERATE
Mrs. j. w. Leavitt Tells of the
knowledge Needed in Or
der to Drive Automobile

The operation of a motor car. even
a high powered car, is not a matter Of
strength, but rather of knowing how
says Mrs. J. W. Leavitt, president of
the California woman's automobile
club. who recently demonstrated this
fact for The Call before the camera.
'Even the cranking over of an engine
with "a inch cylinders is not ques-
tion Of strength, but rather a matter
Of letting the fywheel do the work,
using the hywheel momentum.
The correcting of little irregular
running Of the engine is not serious
matter; it is usually a case of a little
adjustment of the gasoline spray noz-
zle of the carburetor or possibly the
cleaning Of a spark plug.
The shifting of the transmission
sears is not at all a complicated prop
osition; all that is necessary is to shift
at the proper speeds of engine and
car: not TO shift into the low gear
when the car is moving faster than five
miles per hour; not to shift into the
reverse when the car is going forward
and not TO shift into the intermediate
Hr high speed gears unless the car Is
under Eood headway, although. OF
course, many cars can be started from
a standstiu by engaging the clutch
gradually and giving the engine ample
throttle.
The matter of tire repairs is no
longer serious one on account of the
several quick detachable rims. now al
most universally used In the Older
days when the clincher tires had 10 be
uriad of from the solid clincher rims
The operation was quite a strenuous
one. particularly If the tire fitted the
rim snugly. but with the quick detach-
able rims the locking ring can be cas-
IIr removed, the tire slid of the rim, q
