There is a marvellous growth Il
sentiment in America for improves
highways The farmers who for
merly antagonized the motor cars ar
aiding in the general movement. But
it will require half a century of most
prodigious improvement to put Amer
lean roads anywhere near the condl-
ton of those in this country.
Regarding design and construction
in America, I reiterate what I have
said before the Royal ! Automobile
Club that as the result of large guam
titles of cars produced and the Won
derful adaptability of makers in Sc
lecting tools and equipment of plants,
it is possible for. them to produce
cars at a lower price than is possible
on this side, despite the fact labor
is at least double in cost. Yet
there are dozens Of American engin-
GERS who annually come across 20
study the trend of English and Euro
pean construction. They work so
hurriedly they have little time at
home for original research and study
of design along mechanical lines"

time.
There seems little question of the
ultimate development of carburetters
suitable for the efficacious handling
of kerosene or other of the heavier
distillates. Under present conditions,
despite the attractiveness Of the fuel
itself, it's use hardly is to be consld-
cred feasible with ordinary engine
and carburetter arrangements. AL
though q few engineers have been
successful in developing kerosene car
buretters that have proved servlceaole
under normal running conditions or
binary power plants are not so con-
stituted as to handle the heavier OILS
economically The necessity for dou-
BILE fuel connections and regulating
devices and special heating contr1van-
ceS, of course, renders its use entire
ly impracticable at present, though 1t
remains to be proved that the econ
omy gained by the use of the cheaper
fuel is sufficient to offset these disad-
vantages There can be no question
that the really general use of kero-
sene awaits the development or
practical form of carburetter which
will eliminate the necessity for carry
ing other and supplementary fuels.
From California comes the story Of
another Mitchell Six triumph, the
big car this time having won first
honors as snow pillow by carrying the
veras big trees this spring. The trip
was organized in Stockton, IS miles
from the grove Of big redwoods and
the four men who made it travelled
through every variety of season from
where the early crocuses were in
bloom to where the snow was twelve
feet deep. Twenty-Five miles out of
Stockton snow began to appear by
the roadside and before so miles had
been covered the car was compelled
to buck white drifts that would
have barred the progress of less ca
pable machine. Often 1t would be
necessary to run full speed into
drift three or four times before path
could be forced through it. Over the
last 20 miles of the trip the car trav-
eled through snow from three to four
up and plunging forward again every
time the car was stalled the party
managed to get within mile and
half of where the biggest trees were.
Here the car was abandoned and ty-
ing on long Norwegian skis the four
men finished their journey, being the
first to catch sight of the centuries
winter fell, around them. Near the
famous tree through which the stage
coaches drive in summer a hole was
dug through the snow to measure its
depth. 1t was IL feet from the
crust to the ground beneath it. The
run back to Stockton was made in the
night in a third of the time it had
taken on the outgoing trip. The bro
ken road through the snow was easy
to follow. Although the car which
made the trip had previously travelled
over $4,000 miles it required no at
tention whatever on the trying jour

HOW TT LOOKS.

Coventry, England, April 15-Chas.
Y. Knight, the former Chicago engin-
eer who has revolutlOuiZed motor en-
CINE making in Europe with his valve
less type Of motor and who has just
returned from an extended trip
through American automobile factor
les, makes some very interesting COM
PARSONS of the industry in the new
and old worlds.
Mr.. knight elected to classify his
observations under industrial econom-
ic, engineering. labor, trade and po-
litical heads. He displayed a keen
understanding of the subtle effect of
each upon the motor industry in
which he, himself was a consid era BILE
factor in the United States during the
period he was astounding the engin-
GERS with the development of the en-
CINE that has been so generally adopt
ed by British and Continental manu-
facturers.
American bankers still exercise a
dominant influence in the automobile
industry, Mr.. knight says, and the
speculative element known as wall
Street. WAich assumes to act as ba-
rometer for business conditions, has
ordained that the industry's future be
termed uncertain because of the I'M
certainty of the government which
may be changed at the next Presi-
dentialy election. a tremendous cur
tailment Of output. resulting has put
the business upon a cash basis as be-
tween the maker and the agent The
volume Of the output, quite natura lIy
approaches the figures that the agents
can guarantee. The safe, sane and
conservative policy while making for
a production for 1911 fully Sc per
cent. less than for 1910 satisfied the
financial interests. The reaction is
bound to follow the re-esta blishment
of the strong financial position of the
country through the general prosper
ity and the trem nervous crop results
There is mfrked awakening
among the engineers of the big con-
Germs on the six-cylinder situation
which practically has been seriously
pushed by only a few of the makers.
Efforts concentrated upon the four
cylinder motor because of difficulties
experienced with crank shafts and
carburation seem to have brought a
period of refinement and development
and consequent great increase in
knowledge that have simplified mat
ters," said Mr.. Knight 1.-THE Dendu-
lum is swinging toward the six CYL
inder. The American market for 1912
will be marked by the appearance of
many new six cylinder cars. Pre-
vious English or European practice
largely enters into the sudden i'm
pulse. The coming era of worn
gear drive may be said to be the out
come of substantial English success

KEROSENE FOR CARBURATION

Kerosene as fuel for internal COM
bustion motors has been a subject for
discussion and experiment almost
since the day that automobiles at
tanned practicability, and with the
motor truck now looming large and
still larger, it is receiving more at
tention than is generally thought to
be the case, most of the effort being
along the line of carburetter develop
ment: which apparently is the key -
the SITUATION. The low cost of kero-
sene, its availability in practically all
parts OF the world and where gasoline
often is not procurable or at best in
limited quantities and at prohibitive
rates, It's great factor of safety in
handling and its consequent influence
Oh the always important insurance
s1tuatlOn-all these are factors that
bear heavily in it's favor.
The comparative cheapness of kerr
osene may readily be understood
when it is known that from the crude
petroleum from which both kerosene
and gasoline are derived Is per cent.
is gasoline and from Al to so per
cent. iS kerosene. The cost of gaso-
line in car lots is approximately dou-
BILE that of kerosene. ThYs with the
fuel consumption per horsepower
hour only slightly greater than with
gasoline The economy of using kero-
sene for fuel IS at once apparent In
view or this fact it is the opinion of
several authorities that kerosene will
displace gasoline, particularly for use
in motor trucks within a very short
