Unique Use Made
Of a Motor Truck
Kansas City Workmen Wanted to
Spend Sundays at Home, and
Motor Took Them There.

To get men to work on a country
home under construction about twen-
ty miles out OF Kansas City, J. NJ.
Peak, a building contractor, had to
agree TO furnish transportation into
the city every Saturday evening and
out again every Monday morning, so
that the men 8could spend Sunday
with their families.
For two or three weeks he paid
bheir fare on the railroad but ne
sound that expensive, So he hired a
Peerless three ton truck to carry the
men back and forth. Seats were put
up on the truck for the convenience
of the passengers and the run made
between the city and the farm in an
hour and a half
This proved a big economy over
paying railroad fare, and the men
liked the new mode OF travel muCn
better.

FLUSHING RADIATORS

1t is good idea to flush your radia-
tors occasionally. This is a general
principle application rather than a
specific one. 1t is quite possible that
the car owner has been careless In re-
plenishing his water supply Also In
the quality Of water he uses and that
particles of scale and sediment have
collected Run the water in a steady
stream and crossing the usual intake
course. When water flows the same

Many New Features

T-head type motors, electric lights,
electric self starter. four speed trans

The motor has many strong points.
Its carburetion is claimed to be a spe-

shaped aluminium. and the exterior is
free from corrusations which tend to
defect the mixture and cause con-
densation of the gas.

How to Turn Around
In a Big Automobile

Very few motorists in q tight
place in the road know how to turn
around scientifically Using low
speed, cut your wheel as far to left
or right as It will go. This gives
you the greatest arc of the circle.
When you have struck the side
walk opposite, reverse your wheel
as far as it will go and use your
reverse lever. If your car IS not
too long and the road of ordinary
width. you are now in a way to
proceed in the opposite direction.
Most people In turning do not
cut their wheels far enough, and
consequently twice the effort and
twice the time Is lost. Turning
requires headwork. just like any
other feature OF automobile driv-
ing.

Haynes Tire Pump
Proving Popular
lndiana-Pacife Coast Tour Of $500
Miles Shows Efficiency to
Parties En- Route.

The mechanical tire pump on the
Haynes car has already demonstrated
is ability on the recent Indiana Pacif-
10 coast tour, journey or more than
$500 miles. Out OF the twenty odd cars
which participated In this tour Haynes
cars II and ID were the only cars so
equipped, and, consequently, this little
device became quite popular, not only
among the Haynes party, but with many
OF their fellow travellers, for whose CON
venience 1t was frequently called into
service
This pump IL Of the two cylinder tyne
and Is built on practically the same
principle as the iaynos motor and II
is predicted that it will become equally
as popular.

Denver and Reform

Just at present Denver is having
the biggest dose of reform ever
presented to any city in this or any
other country. The bunch of high
graders and grafters that had been
kicked out of every political party
ever organized aud yet pooled is
sues and succeeded in electing
themselves to all the city offices
last spring. have started a regular
cat and dog fight over the division
OF the spoils. ALI have had their
fingers deep in the crib since their
election but now the funds are get
ting low and each one is trying to
kick all the others out of his
road. In the meantime although
the taxes are higher than ever Dem
yer has the dirtiest streets. the
poorest kept parks and the weak
est fire and police protection the
city has ever known. Mayor Arm
old has kicked that boy wonder.
George Creel." clear over the
back fence. and Bonnie Lindsey
says he will revenge George. Three
reputable business men and heavy
taxpayers who were on the city
council resigned because they could
not stand for the bunch. and this
leaves the Mayor az the heaviest
taxpayer of the city government.
He pays a tax Of almost IS. Sher-
iff Sullivan started in to clean out
the redlight district and now says
the cleanup IL the biggest graft
ever pulled off in Denver and has
quit 1t cold. Two aldermen have
been ousted for getting caught at
taking brides. Their work was too
raw for the rest Of the bunch. who
don't aim to get caught with the
goods. No political party that was
ever organized would dare to be
as corrupt as this bunch Of IRE
formers" who were elected last
May ON the endorsement Of the
Christian Citizenship Union and
ministers OF Denver.

esting Photographic reproduction OF
the Denver Tribune OF June 20,
1870. giving an account of the
construction Of the first railroad
into Colorado. Even at that date.
only forty-three years ago all the
railroads were passing this state
by as neither good mining or pos
sible agricultural territory. and it
became necessary for the bunch
Of enterprising business men who
had started Denver to raise the
money and build themselves a con-
Meeting Link which would give Den
yer railway connections with the
outside world. The first train
pulled into Denver on June 23rd,
1870. and Denver was at last on
the map. Colorado has proved sine,
that its mines were richer than
any to be found elsewhere in this
country. and her farms could
produce the largest crops per acre
and railroads are glad to go out
OF their way to reach this land OF
plenty In these days instead of out
OF their way to miss 1t as they
did then. The names connected
with the organization and building
of that first road have since be

PUT F|REMEN ON
C|TY's PAYROLL

Following many changes and i'm
provements that have recently been
made in 'Burlingame, the fire depart
ment has been reorganized and put on
salary basis. When the new auto
hose cart, which will be delivered
about the 18th of this month, arrives
the new organization will be brought
up to it's full standard While the city
has never suffered any great loss from
fire under the old system, the marked
growth of the city has made it i'm
perative that comprehensive, up to-
date system may be maintained for
the protection of property
The question of increasing the
school facilities, which has been re-
ceiving attention of late. has resulted
in the requirement of a site for Gram
mar School No 2, which will be situ-
ated at the head of Buri Buri avenue,
in Easton addition No. 2. The struct-
ure, which will be erected early in
1914. will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000
Plans have been made for the ac-
quirement of a site for another gram
mar school across the railroad tracks
from the Burlfngame railroad station.
The property in question is owned by
Francis Carolan, and upon his return
within the coming week from Europe,
Mayor G. ]. McGreggor will begin ne
gotiations for the purchase of the site
in question, which comprises one and
e-half acres. Should the city prove
successful in acquiring this site i'm
mediate construction will be started
on the high school building.
