THE American idea IL that II II able
to do some work and ought to I've per-
suaded to do II.
Now. what can you do about it?
Perhaps one very useful act would he to
ihdorse the general plan suggested by the
Committee OF the National Council. to
which have referred?
This proposes that a child shall finish
his elementary education Ht the age
Of ~ that between the ages of i2 and 1s
he shall he advanced so that at 16 he
is able to enter either a vocational school
where he will finish his training at the
age OF 90 or small college where he
will finish his training In arts by the
same age. or thirdly he will enter
regular college at ~. being so equipped
that he will finish the liberal course In
two years and begin his professional
course in medicine or law at 90. gradual
ing at the age of -.
BY this plan you would take the hoy
of 10 and make him work so hard until
is that he will have the training OF Euro
pean children and be able then to enter
profession. This work must be Initiated
by the elementary schools, but large
part OF II must depend upon the more
efficient activities Of the high schools and
the preparatory schools. and some high
schools have already begun.
This means "A REIMBURSEMENT OF studies
and schedules. but II means most or all
that the boy must work more intensively
and often for more days In the year. why
should child at his period "f most I'M

studies early In June and do nothing TIL
late in September except attend ball
games and play with his schoolmatcs' sis
ters? Why must he work only FIVE days
out OF seven and get holidays and vaca-
tons all through the winter?
I'VE all know that the college boy Of

that one must be continually at it with overaIls on. This is the mistake of great many motorists and the result is generally poor run1ing car. The can who changes ht@ carburetor ad- 1ustEEent every time the-car runs poor ly and grinds his veIves every month, is always in want of power. There are cars with valves which do need con- stant attention, but be sure they need grinding before you remove them
 It is the pride of many drivers to keep their motors spfck and span. This labor gives the least returns. The time employed keeping a motor shining had best be spent in keeping the interior of it clean, though if you have time to keep a motor shining, it is an advan- tage when some odd repair must be made on the road. Where a car is in constant use and you have little time to wash down the motor, the exposed moving parts should be kept free from dust.
 Motor trouble is rare thing today, but the man who tinkers with his en- zine habitua1ly, hunting trouble, will find it. Fortunately the designers of cars are realizing more every year the necessity of good brakes and the driver should aim fo keep them in the best condition at all times. Brakes are the most essential part of the car. No matter what happens. the quickest way to safety lies in stopping; and the surest way to destruction is to have something occur when your brakes are in poor shape.
 The mptorist can avert many mis- haps by using little foresight in the care Of his car Besides the brakes the steering gear should be examined now and then. Form a habit of walk ing around your car with your eyes open for breakage to the chasgis, but do not tear d car to pieces hunting for trouble, f. e.. the lacking up of a car and an examination of a wheel for play will give you timely warning of wear without removing. the wheel Motor Print

ELECTRIC GAR MAKES
 DISTANCE RECORD

4 new record for an electric auto mobile run from Philadelphia to Washington and return was establish ed in connection with the recent con. vention of the National Electric Light. Association held in the former city. Leaving Phi1ade1phia early on Sunday morning, the car was driven by way of Wilmington, Bel Air and Baltimore to the capital at an average speed of nineteen miles an hour for the dis tance of 167 miles. The return jour ney was made the next day and Phil adelphia was reached on Monday night
 One of the motoring novelties of in terest which has just been placed on the market is an electric brake. In this device, which is the invention Of E. V. Hartford, the brake drum is oper- ated by a steel cable controlled by a small but high power motor of spe- ciaI design. A switch, mounted just below the steerling wheel. puts the mechanism in the control of the driv- CT The switch is of the two point type one position being for service and the other for emergency use. At about the same speed as would be the case with a quick application of the hand emergency brakes, the electric brake is capable of exerting pull of | 1000 pounds. A slipping clutch pre- vents the pull from exceeding this power. Because of the increased pull the brakes run in oil, contrary to the usual practice. It is claimed for the device that not only is it far more powerful and more even braking se-
 cured than would be possible by hand.
 but also that the sl<fdding danger fs greatly reduced and brake band wear l eliminated by the brakes running in lsoiI The device weighs about 30 I pounds and takes it's power from the
 ordinary storage battery or generator.

sPEEDERs IN NEW JERSEY.

An organized movement is on foot among members of several automo- bile clubs in New York, New Jersey Pennsylvania and Maryland to urge Motor Vehicle Commissioner Iippin- colt of New Jersey to make certain changes in his system of arresting mo torists who break the speed laws of that state. These motorists have no objection to the laws or the enforce ment of them, but what they do ob- Ject to is the .'cat and mousse meth. cd used to e11tice motorists to break the laws as they claim has been done.
 One of the motorists who was thus arrested last Sunday told of his ex-. perfences in this way: tI believe I have reason to be incensed at the backwoods treatment accorded me by two New Jersey state inspectors who exercised their craftiness in the sec- tion which lies between Ledgewood and Lake Hopatcong. have never been arrested before for speeding and have always lived up to the law. but human endurance can be taxed to it's utrn if pushed in a way like that exercised by the two inspectors who arrested me for speeding. These men were garbed in citizens clothes and drove their car behind mine in such a. way as to indicate that they wanted me to speed. Several times they blew thir horn as if to pass me and when pulled to one side they did not go ahead. but kept directly behind. literally pushing me to that annoying stage where there was nothing else for mo to do but to increase my speed to get out of their way. Then I was stopped and was told that was ex- Isceeding the speed limit and arrest fol- lowed.
 This method is enough to make any rnotorist desire to break speed laws to get out of the way of the an ! 4r1~ he
 missioner Idppincott does not know l about this practice every motorist as
 well as others who believe in fairness to users of the highway should in- 4 form him to stop this contemptible and slncalIed for practice Another 1 thing the inspectors should wear uni Il forms or else have their cars marked ! in such a way that they can be dis I tingulshed as inspectors cars. Much better work can be done by treating
 motorists by fair rather than sneaky II met hods.r

A BIC YEAR.

That the recent announcement of the reduction in price Of the Chandler Light Six model to $1.595 was made possible by the successful year through which the company has just passed and that the new list price is in reality a profit sharing price. was made evident in the report of Presf- dent F. c. Chandler to the Board of Directors at the recent meeting in Cleveland
 The Chandler Company began op- erations July 1st last year. and al though the fiscal year does not end un- til July 1st, 1914, the company has manufactured and sold the entire pro auction planned upon for the 1914 season.
 The Treasurer's report showed a surplus nearly equal to the company s original cash capital, notwithstanding g the fact that dividends have abeen reg ularly paid on the preferred stock since July 1st of last year. Tn view of this remarkable showing the Board of Directors authorized the payment of the regular dividend upon the pre- ferred stock, and a, dividend of per cent on the common stock, payable July 1st.

THE MoLINE-KNIGHT.

Another smashing demonstration of the Knight engines superiority over the old poppetl valve design is the winning of the team prize by the three Minerva Knights in the recent six hundred mile international race for the Tourists Trophy on the Isle Of Man. Erlglant1, says w. H. Van Der voort. maker of the Moline-Kn1ght.
 -sThe fact that only six of the twen- ty-two cars that were sent away from the starting line finished. makes the performance of the Minerra-Kmight all the more creditab1e.
 The Minerva Company Of Belgium finished all three of it's entries, each of which was equipped with a sleeve valve motor of the Knight type. Min erva captured the team prize of ST. 300 offered the best average of a team of three cars in the race.
 f'All three Minervas bettered the previous course record Of 5o.25 miles per hour established by the Hutton in the Tourist Trophy race Of 1908.
 Although several other companies were represented by three cars. Min erva was the only one to finish all of it's starters. an Indication that the ious consideration in speed contests,'' ,'' says Motor. Age of June IS.
 Critics of the Knight type of en- zine have endeavored to spread broad cast the impression that Knight en- zines were not capable of high speed. That this statement is as false as va rfous other rumors circulated by pop pet-va1ve adherents is evidenced by the following statement in Motor Age:
 's The drivers of the three Minervas i furnished the sensations They were out to win at any cost and took great 1 CT chances on the road than other pi- lots. They drove the corners al high speed throughout both days and were always in a position to take ad- I vantage of any mishap that might ov- ertake the other cars. g

FoRD,s FIRsT HELPERs.

When Henry Ford began his first car in 1901. he himself worked as ma chinist with his own hands and had with him one young machinist, lone draftsman. and one boy. The drafts man is now Ford factory superfn- tendent, the young machinist is now chief inspector. and the former boy is now the metaI1urgist-fn-chief of the Ford Highland Park plant. which may be taken as evidence that Henry Ford was unusually fortunate in the seIec- tion of his first three men, or, again, as evidence that he is willing to aid in advancing individuals who once be gin to work for hirn.-Horace L.
