Exhibitors to Have Tangible
Evidence of Recent Dis
plays Success.
LIKELY ..
WILL BE ORGANIZED
Idea Is Discussed At Meeting Last
s.
Night of the Capital
Exhibitors.
By HARRY WARD.

Automobile dealers today will receive
tangible evidence that the recent auto
mobile show was a success.
The show committee met yesterday,
and voted to return to the various ex-
hibitors a substantial part Of the guar
antee they put up. The exact amount
each will receive was not made public,
but judging from the good feeling pre-
vailing among the dealers today it is OF
satisfactory proportions. Later in the
month another refund will be made, and
the affairs of the organization wound
up.
The meeting was held in the office of
Treasurer J. NJ. Stoddard, with Chair
rectors attending were T. B. Spence,
Claude Miller, John Thomas, William
Jose, and 7. S. Johnston, the absenteeS
being S. A. Luttrell and A. G. Carter.
The report of Treasurer Stoddard was
read and received with much satisfac-
ton. An auditing committee, composed
of John Thomas and Claude Miller, was
appointed to audit the show accounts.
During the meeting the question of
forming a dealers association was dis
cussed informally. There is a general
demand for the formation of such an
organization, and it is probable meet
ing for this purpose will be held in the
near future.
"Washingtonians will have an oppor-
tunity to witness some fine automobile
SPORTS during the next four or five
MONTHS" said T. S. Johnston, captain
OF the Automobile Club of Washington.
The floral parade and carnival planned
by the club is sure to attract thousands,
while the hill-climb, early in May,
promises to be one of the best events
of the kind ever held in this section.
In June this city will be the rendezvous
of many famous automobile men, who
will be here for the start of the Glidden
tour"
A meeting of the board. of governors
of the club will be held next week to
decide upon a date for the floral parade
and to take some action regarding the
other events planned by the organ
iEation.
W. A. Britton, travelling representa-
tive of the Diamond Rubber Company,
is in the city for a few days.
The theory of the Western motorist
who believed he got better mileage by
grinding off the letters Of the manufac-
turing company's name from the sides
of his tires is not practical" said Mr..
Britton. This motorists idea was that
projections of stone or frozen mud in
rough roads are likely to strike the
letters and tear out chunks of rubber.
There is nothing in his theory"
George Meeley. of PHILADELPHIA. will
shortly open a tire depot at 1876 Four
teenth street. He will make a speciality
Of retreading tires, and Will also feature
FireStone tires. Mr.. Meeley, who Is
we'll known to motorists of this city
and Philadelphia, says the outlook here
is good.

BASKETBALL RACE
BECOMES EXCITING
Victory of Georgetown Over
Y. M. C. A. Last Night
Gives Impetus.

Speculation as to the outcome of the
next games between the Georgetown
and Y. NJ. c. A. basketball teams for
the championship of the District is rife
today and the following of eacn team
are just as confident after the victory of
the Blue and Gray by the score Of
"A to % last night as they were before
the contest.
Those who went to the rink to see
real basketball saw 1t. The excitement
seekers also satisfied. The ease with
which the Y. NJ. c. A. negotiated bas-
kets and the smoothness of its pass
work at frequent intervals during the
first half was a matter of surprise to
the followers of the Blue and Gray and
there was much trepidation as to the
outcome when their favorltes were
forced to quit the period with the score
II to against them. This lead of the
Y. NJ. c. a. team was due in large part,
however, to the excellent eye of Mulloy,
who rarely failed during the entire game
to convert a free toss into a counter.
Barricello and Monarch were best
point winners for Georgetown, while
Thornton and Miller were such for the
losers.

Atlantic Association of the Amateur
Athletic Union, promises to surpass all
previous marks.
From Baltimore this morning Prof.
Joyce received a big batch of blanks,
and by the time entries close this even

Wash and scrape the carrots lightly,
then cut into dice, or, II very small,

Combine the two and cover with a

The flavor of peas, French cooks tell
us, Is greatly improved by the add

as yet proven its worth. but many
are looking forward to its advent with
the keenest interest Can such ma
chine find field of usefulness, and
If so what would be the basis OF its
adoption?
Suppose we give the matter of the
amount of power furnished some con-
sideration and in so doing leave out
all other factors. We will compare
roughly the power furnished by the
tractor with that furnished by the
horse. At present the unit OF power
Is the horse. This unit may be COM
bined into the two, three and even the
four-horse team. The latter is about
the limit of power that one man can
handle advantageously. The average
horse is able to develop nearly a unit
horsepower when used continuously.
One horsepower here Is intended to
mean the unit used in measuring
work. A man then driving four
horse team would be able to control
the energy equal to four-horsepower.
II he were using a twenty horsepower
tractor which should develop, roughly
speaking. about fifty per cent OF the
total horsepower at the draw bar, he
should then have from 6-10 horse
power available for effective work
with the engine working at some
where near its full load. All other
things being equal, the balance would
be In favor Of the tractor since 1t
would enable one man to control q
greater amount Of power. Aside from
the question of power furnished there
is a question of adaptability which
the manufacturer is assiduously work.
ing out. An example of what we
mean by adaptibility may be shown
by the following: A four-horse team
may be divided and each horse or
unit used complete In itself, this
adapting It to smaller yet important
details Of work. In the tractor this
would manifestly be impossible. but
on the other hand the tractor through
its construction and efficiency would
be found especially valuable for belt
work where horses can be used to
very little advantage. There are many
questions of design such as types OF
engines, gears, clutches, height, height
and width of drivers, kind of Jugs for
effective traction. weight, ETC., which
time and experience together must
determine. II, however, we can add
to the size and adaptibility Of the
now commonly understood and used
gasoline or kerosene engine, obtain
fuel at reasonable cost. and shift a
proportionately larger share of the
work upon this unfeeling machine,

ANEW FACTOR in FARMING
Use Of Power Has Multiplied Mans Capacity Hundredod
comparison OF Power Furnished by Tractor With That
Furnished by the Horse.
~ u. h. huSSELMAN Instructor in Far. Engineering,
Michigan Asriesltual College

The history of agricultural machin.
cry has been one of extremely rapid
development within comparatively re-
cent years. The trend of develop
ment has been toward the applica-
ton of power to hand processes. The
history Of manufacturing shows the
same course. We are told that the
extended use Of power has made the
work Of the world less arduous and
shortened the hours of labor. Mans
progress depends largely upon his ca
pacity to do work, which is the result
OF the expenditure OF energy. The
use OF power has multiplied his ca
pacity hundredfold. The man with
the hoe, dull and uncomprehending, is
passing, and In his stead we find the
man with wits keen to direct and
hands skilled to control the energy
which doubles his own a score.

steam engine. or the gasoline tractor.
Through the agency of well adapted
agricultural machines he has been
able to direct this energy into useful
work. the effectiveness and nicely of
which the unaided hand of man could
never equal.
This year at Winnipeg, Canada,
was held competition of motor trac-
tors, steam, gasoline and kerosene.
Here were met thirty-one outfits from
half as many companies. For three
weeks these machines were subjected

the layman. What was the purpose
of 1t all? Primarily to determine the
adaptibility Of the various types of
machines to the work for which they
are intended, but In larger sense to

means the making of the northwest.
We are accustomed to the use of
power on the farm In Michigan. The

been assigned the windmill and the
gasoline engine. The steam engine
handles the heavier duties to which
It is adapted, but to mans most faith

share The steam engine has never
been seriously considered as a field
machine in Michigan on account OF
its weight and unwieldiness on the
comparatively small fields and farms.
