which continues out to the District line.
AT 5.2 mi es it connects with the Queen

there is a sharp turn to the right and as
the road is very mar ow at this point

the turn around the frame dwellings at

the report of q chief of transportation

and France, where he visited the prin-

government IN the mail delivery service
is more progressive; it uses gasoline

Europe leads in the use of the bus,
with London predominating. There are
also a few large installations of motor

Inefficient Dry Cells.

It is a fact noticeable by those who
operate their cars the year around upon
dry cells that batteries of this type are
not always as efficient in cold weather
as in warm Th is due principally to the
fact that the liquid electrolyte in the
cells is affected by cold temperatures, SO
that it's internal resistance is higher.
This results naturally in decrease in the
intensity of the spark when the car is
taken out after the batteries have been
tested in the garage and found to be
thoroughly efficient. Sometimes when
car is stranded for want of ignition it is
well to warm the cells with warm water
to increase their efficiency.

cents horsepower per car per annum

fact that motor cars are largely the cause
of the heavy cost of street repairs and
maintenance articularly on the mac

they knew it is to go on the streets ana

shows that such measure will never be
popular with those who "pay the piper.

Four years ago every electric car
was equ pped with pneumatic or solid
tires. Today over half of the eiec-
trio cars carry neither of these types
The great majority now carry
Motz Cushion Tires.
II probably won't be long now un-
til a pneumatic-equipped or solid
tire-equipped electric will be an un-
usual sight.
Pneumatic tires lost out because
they proved too treacherous, TOO
troublesome-and too costly.
Solid tires ost out because they
ia led utterly to protect the occu-
pants or the delicate parts of the
car from rough bumps and jolts.
Motz Cushion Tires won out be-

Painting Automobil
All colors. or practically all colors,
used upon automobiles at the present
time are ground in japan, and in prepa
ration for use require only to be trimmed
with turpentine. For every seven parts
of turpentine use one part raw linseed
oil a binder for the pigment. For the
second coat of color use ten parts tur-
pentine and one part raw linseed Oil. This
proportion of oil does not materially de-
lay the drying of the color. and 1t gives
it a gripping power and an elastic prop
erty which are vital to it's durability. APP
ply the color with u two-and-one-half
inch camel s-hair fiat brush. If ii lake
pigment is to be used the second coat of
fat color may be omitted and a coat of
the fiat lake-that is. lake beaten UP with
turpentine to dry without gloss-applied
Over this use a glazing of lake made by
first breaking the lake up with turpentine
to a brushing cons;s stency and then add

tity to give a mixture consisting OF one

DarkenS the Hair

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an unoer-
tain one-or a harmful one-your
stomach is too valuable; you mustn't
injure il with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
It's millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia. Eastritis and other stomach
trouble have made it famous the
world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a
large fifty-eent case from any drug
store and then if anyone should eat
something which doesn't agree with
them; if what they eat lays like lead
ferments and sours and forms gas;
causes headache. dizziness and nau.
sea; eructations of acid and undigest
ed food-remember as soon as Pape's
Diapepsin comes in contact with the
stomach ALI such distress vanishes
Its promptness, certainty and ease In
overcoming the worst stomach dis
orders is a revelation to those who
try it.
