tive Neeley of Kansas has submitted

that "it would seem now. after lapse
Of fortyfive years from the date of
the bonds, matters should be brought
to conclusion with respect to this,
It must be apparent to every one that
IL no effort is made to collect it. Il
will never be paid"

courses for collection of the claim.
These include:
Withholding all charges for trans
portation services over the particular
100 miles of road on behalf of the
government: demand upon the rail-
road ownership for reports as to an
nual net earnings and to satisfy the

London Traffic Conditions.

Traffic conditions in the streets of Lon
don have become SO congested that nu-
merous conferences have been held by
the various city authorities to try to de-
wise means of controlling and regulating
the vehicles 1t is stated that the princl-
nal cause of the congestion is the motor
omnibus, there being no fewer than 2,22So
running in the metropolitan district, as
against 200 in 1910. This great increase
in the large and unwieldy Notwithstanding
other conveyances have not decreased,
sa We the horse buses, which never were
AS numerous as the motor buses are
now-has resulted in much confusion on
the streets So great has been the diff
oulty that it was seriously proposed some
time ago to limit the number of buses
70 . OO0 and also to limit the number
which could run on one route. 1t ap-
nears however, that considerable diff
entity would be experienced I'm the legal
side of this project. There seems to be
no London body that can legally make
such a regulation. Also. there is the
number of passengers to be considered,
as transit facilities must not be ham,
pered. While official figures on the num-
her of passengers carried have not SO
| far been given out. it is stated that in
| 1911 the buses carried 5000, 900 pas
sengers, as against 746,OOQ,O00 by the
street cars. 1t will thus be seen that the
bus is an exceedingly important factor

Carbon in the Motor.

Carbon trouble is one of the recurrn-
annoyanceS of automobile motors which
has never been entirely removed. The
heat of combustion is SO high that even
the best of oils leave some deposit. This
may be so small that it is not noticeable
after an entire seasons use, but on the
other hand, it might be SO great that the
motor refuses to function as it should.
When going over the car during the win
ter it would be best to thoroughly clean
the cylinders of all traces of carbon.

Demand Medium-Priced Car.

More than 100000 people, according to
figures recently prepared by one of the
leading motor car journals of the world.
have demanded medium-priced automo-
biles for the season Of 1913 Not only
does this astounding total give to the
Iavman an idea of the phenomenal growth
of the industry in the short span of its
life. but more especially does it impress
on every one the conviction that the me-
dunn priced, high grade motor car has al
last come into its own. 1T only proves
what many manufacturers have long con-
tended that the words automobile and
fad or luxury are no longer syn
onymous: that they are as far separated
as the two poles Of the earth.

Keep Stock of Accessories.

Adjoining the showroom is the auxiliary
stock room, 2Ox46 feet, where is kept at
all times a large stock of tires. tenders,
housings, etc. The room is partit:oned
off and in charge of a man whose duty
it is to keep the stock in shape at all
times. On the opposite side of the cor
ridor is the main stock room. which is
considerably larger and one of the most
up-to-date of any of its kind south of
New York. The room is siXty-two feet
long by forty-siX feet wide. Six large
steel bins, thirty-siX feet long. SIC feet
high, and three feet wide occupy the ma
jority of the space in this room. There
are 1920 small compartments in the
bins for various stock parts of every
machine ever built by the company,
from the smallest screw up To springs
and axles. Separate bins are used for
magnetos and spare parts. The bins are
built of steel upon which the stock clerk
can climb to the different heights desired
in procuring parts. No ladders are neces-
sary on this account. All of the steel
parts, such as gears, springs, etc, are
kept soaked i'll oil in the bins, one man
being kept busy every day in looking aft
err the parts and seeing that no rust oc-
ours.
In another part Of the room are located
40 bins of smaller capacity for small
screws. nuts, bolts, washers, etc. The
entire plant is lighted by electricity. and
the side lights arranged in such a manner
as to be of the greatest advantage

New Packard Record.

What is believed to be the fastest
record for sustained road driving under
unfavorable conditions was completed
last Monday morning when William p.
McCula landed at the Pontchartrain
Hotel in Detroit with his new Packard
''3S.'' He started from Chicago. being
checked out of the New Southern Hotel
in that city by j. T. Murphy, the night
clerk. at 40 Monday morning. and at
9:39 he reached the POntchartrain Hotel
in Detroit and was checked in by the
clerk in that hoStelry.
The distance was 2S4 miles. which was
made in elapsed running time of 4 hours
and minutes There were three stops
for gasoline and tires, which occupied a
total of IL minutes.
The actual running time, therefore. was
6 hours and "a minutes, making the Won
derful average for the entire distance of
a little more than forty-one miles per
hour
Thi, is said to be extraordinary rec
ord that. it is believed. has never been
eqIaled under any circumstances; and
when the frozen rutty condition OF the
mud and gravel roads over which the
Packard '':S' Travelled are taken into
consideration, the record made was a
marvellous endurance test on the part of
both driver and car.
