COMPLETE REMARKABLE
1500-MiLE ROAD JOURNEY
Series of Accidents Fail to In
iure Touring Car

c. W. Matheson Of the we'll known
motor car company bearing his name
is seriously considering the awarding
Of a suitable trophy to Mr.. and Mrs.
George Burton of Springfield, Ill, to
commemorate a somewhat remarkable
road journey recently completed. To
quote Mr. Burton:
Notwithstanding the fact that we
skidded into a canal bridge, went full
tilt into a fractions COW and were in
collision with a high-pOwered touring
car through no fault of our own, my
wife and l brought our Matheson silent
six through from our home in SPRING
field, Ill, to New York without bolt
or nut missing, the engine running in
perfect shape, and even more extra
ordinary to relate, without having had
a puncture or blowout on the entire
trip We had all kinds of road condi-
tions for the 1500-Odd miles we covered,
and under the circumstances We con-
slider ourselves somewhat fortunate"
Mr.. Burton and his pretty wife are
now doing the New Jersey shore points
and in two weeks time will make the
return journey by road with Mr.. Math-
eson's admonition mot to tempt Provi-
dence too severely"

BY DIR. CHARLES W. SNYDER
Local Agent Middleby Cars

Every once in while we hear Won
derful stories about grades, some car
climbing a 80 or 40 per cent grade on
tn. high, and other nonsense of this
kind. l don't mean to imply that it's
impossible for a car to actually ever
do this, in a certain way; in fact, 1
am driving a Middleby runabout with
a 26 H. P. engine in it and l will guar
antee this little car to climb a 80 per
cent or 75 per cent grade on the high
with a string on the guarantee. There
was, a short time ago, a single-cylinder
Cadillac at Coney Island climbing
every day a 100 per cent grade ION
the high" and then doing 300 per cent
more.
The per cent grade means the rise
or fall in feet per hundred the hun
dred feet being measured horizontally
and the elevation being measured YER
tically; for instance, if you measured
horizontally into the side of q hill 10
feet and then found that the end Of
your line was feet from the surface,
the per cent grade would be 20.
The most practical way for an anna
teur to measure grades is to take a
level and protractor, such as is used
by mechanics, lay a piece of board in

SQUIRRELS RAID WAGON
AND ENJOY FEAST OF PIES

NEW YORK, July 30.-About 100
squirrels raided a bread wagon belong
ing to Harold Domnier of Paterson on
Pompton turnpike. Cedar Grove, N. j.,
yesterday, and before they were driven
off a number of them were killed and
all the bread and pies were spoiled.
The driver had been delivering bread
when the squirrels swarmed into the
wagon. He jumped in to drive them
out. The squirrels jumped on him and
bit and scratched his head, face and
hands Robert Downy came along and
the squirrels were finally driven away
after a number of them had been killed.
There was scarcely a loaf of bread or
pie in the wagon that had not been
bitten into by the squirrels.

the road Cor use a straight portion Of
the street curbing) and place the
straight, fiat edge of the protractor
on it., Turn the rotating portion Of
the protractOr until the level shows
that it Is horizontal, then note the
included angle in degrees. Take a
table of tangents of angles. find your
angle in this table, follow across to
the column marked values" and by
moving the decimal point two figures
to the right in this column you can
read directly the per cent grade"
TIRE SURFACE SMALL
Now let us get down to facts. No
automobile under ordinary conditions,
and without special appliances, can
climb a grade of any length that Is
over from 80 to SO per cent, on ac-
count of the failure of traction, either
"ol the high" low or reverse.
If we have a machine Weighing 2500
pounds, the small area of the tires
on the rear wheels-only q few square
inches at the most-which is in con-
tact with the ground forms the only
hold that the machine has on the
road, and the friction between these
tires and the road is the only thing
that causes the car to move. In this
car you might have a 1000 H p. en-
gine, but Just as soon as the grade is
sufficiently steep so that the friction
developed is not great enough to life"
the car, the rear wheels spin and
climbing ceases, and as before stated,
this is on a grade of about 80 per cent
to SO per cent. Mud hooks" or some
similar device might be applied, so
that the question Of friction was elm
mated, and the car then made to climb
a much sleeper ascent, but except un-
der extraordinary conditions this
would be most impractical What do
we mean by saying that a car climbed
any given per cent grade? The answer
is very indefinite, and is usually made
to fit the particular occasion. To
know the value Of such a statement
one must know the circumstances con-
nected with the test.
Take 'most any old car" give it q
straight, level stretch, or down hill,
let the driver get up it's maximum
speed, and it Will climb even perhaps
a so per cent grade for a few feet.
This is due TO the inertia of the rap
idly moving body carrying itself along
by its own momentum, regardless Of
friction-or tractiOn-in the same man
ner as cannon ball rolling along the
road would make a similar ascent. But
you take this "Old car" stop it near
the foot Of the ascent, and how much
Of grade viii it climb?

HEBREW TO BE REELECTED
MAYOR OF ETERNAL CITY

ROME, July 3O.-The municipal cleo
tions resulted in the return of the
whole list of twenty-five Bloc candi-
dates. The remaining five candidates
elected were those put forward by an
independent group of electors, but
whether they will accept the office
seems doubtful. The abstention of the
clerical voters from the polls was COM
plete. Only one-third of the electors
recorded their votes, which was con-
siderably smaller proportion than at
the last election. However, as long
as Romans only show their discomfort
by remaining neutral the Bloc will nat
urally remain in possession. A good
many voters were undoubtedly fright
ened by the shadow of 1911 and dread
ed lest any change Of responsibility
should further jeapardize the pros
meets of the Rome exhibition
There is no doubt that Signor Nathan
will be reelected mayor

LONDON. July 30.-An unpublished

Russian novelist who died in Paris in
1883, was discovered the other day in
secret drawer of Madame Pauline
Viardot Garcia, the famous singer AL
though the novel is not to be pub
lished, it is said to lie the real love
story of Turgineff, who was secretly
married to Madame Garcia. The first
title of the novel was "A Romance Of
NV Life" 1t is said by an aunt Of
Tourgenieff, who lives in Russia, to be
full of fire and one of his greatest
masterpieces. The marriage of the
novelist and singer was Illegal, mas
much as the woman had never been
divorced from her real husband.
