PREMIER MOTOR co.
MAPPING HIGHWAYS

In the United States, including the Dis
trict of Columbia, there are fifty States
and Territories. and at the end Of the
year 1914 with the exception Of Michigan
and Alaska, the Premier road car in the
hands OF A. L. Westgard. director OF
transcontinentsl highways, will have
marked out and plotted the principal
roads in every one Of these States.
The National Highways Association
claims that 5000 miles of national high
ways-Only a little more than one-fifth Of
the total mileage Of public roads in this
directly serve two-thlrds of
our entire population. They claim that
the people who live in the counties ad
joining those through which the national
highways pass, number % per cent OF the
entire population of the United States.
This is their aim-improvement of
these roads; and last year Mr.. Westgard
and his Premier traversed and mapped
Il. 900 miles of the principal routes of the
intermountain and Western States, and
for lsl4 has planned 1900 miles OF high
ways in the Middle Western and South
ern States This years journey started
from New Orleans. La. and goes as far
north as Pembina, y. Oak. on the Cana
dian border; south OF Tallahassee. Fla.
and west to Cody, Wyo. Mr.. westgard
plans to cover the 5000 miles within
period of slightly over seven months

CYCLECARS HOLD FIRST
BIG SOCIABILITY RUN
Demonstration Tour Between Chicago
and Detroit Meets with Great
Success

The international automobile races.
recently held at Indianapolis, were 50
much in the public eye that little pub
Iicity was given to the interesting migra-
ton Of cyclecars, quite number OF
which were driven to the Hoosier City
that their pilots might be spectators Of
the contests in which the large vehicles
exclusively participated.
II was arranged that a sociability run
from Chicago and Detroit should be
made. One group left Chicago at a. m.
on May Is. arriving in Indianapolis the
afternaan OF the 18th; the other group
left Detroit about the same time, meeting
the Chicago contingent at Rochester
Ind, from which point they Travelled to-
gether TO Indianapolis.
The run from Chicago to Indianapolis
Is about the same distance as from De-
troit. a little short OF 30 miles. OF the
Chicago cars that rolled into Indian
apolis on schedule time was the pace
maker, Woods Mobilette, the Dudley-Bug,
and the Vixen The Imp cyclecars Joined
the procession at Rochester. Ind, which
Detroit group was added to the process
sion. Among the Detroit cars was a
scripps-Booth and a Mercury.
The Official pacemaker. Woods Mo-
bilette, made the return trip over a dif-
ferent route, which heightened the dis
tance Travelled some fifty miles. This car
made the trip down at an average speed
OF better than twenty miles per hour and
the return trip at an average of twenty
four miles per hour.
This sociability run was the frst long

BIG FIELD FOR MOTORS
IN SOUTH AFRICA NOW
Poor Railroad Facilities Cause of
Boom. Says Hupp Export
Manager.

c. H Dunlap. export manager of the
Hupp Motor Car Company, has returned
TO Detroit after an absence Of twenty
two weeks spent in investigating sales
conditions of the motor industry in South
Africa. Dunlap is the first motor expert
who has ever gone through Africa on a
mission OF investigation. and his report
on business prospects shows that the
country is worth the attention of every
motor car manufacturer who has entered
the lists in quest of foreign business.
There is a very good future said Mr..
Dunlap yesterday, for the automobile
industry in South Africa In fact, there
is not a foreign country that I know of
where motor cars can be used to greater
advantage. The reason is on account of
the very poor railroads that seem to
abound throughout the union. The lack
of transportation facilities makes II nee
essary for the South African to use some
other means Of locomotion than the OK
cart, and right here is where the automo-
bile steps in.
The commercial travellers use motor
cars in great qualities: it helps develop
their territory and enables them to call
on small towns surrounding the large
cities. Mine operators use motor cars
quite extensively, and then the Boer
farmers, who live in the interior, and
who formerly went TO town two or three
times a year, are now able to make regu-
lar trips to the big cities, and It is un-
common when a week goes by and q
farmer does not go to town"

KNOX AUTO FIRE ENGINE
A POWER AT SALEM FIRE
Made Run from Reading in One
fourth Time Required by Horse
Drawn Apparatus.

Working for ten hours and thirty min
utes at full capacity without a skip or
miss Of the motor is the record made by
A Knox rotary pumping engine at the
Salem fire. Officials OF the Knox Motors
Company say this probably constitutes a
record for this class of fire apparatus
for the reason that no engine has been
called upon to work for a greater length
Of time continuously at an actual fire
This record, they say, could have been
surpassed by a practically unlimited pc
riod had the occasion required It.
1t will be remembered that as soon as
1t was seen that the Salem department
was unable to cope with the fire a call
was sent to surrounding towns in Massa-
chusetts. Instantly Knox motor-driven
apparatus was hurried over the roads
from Reading. Lynn. Medford. Maiden,
MelrOse. Winchester and Cambridge,
Reading being the only city that had a
realized the seriousness OF the situation
roads at top speed. At times IT Travelled
forty miles an hour. It reached the scene
IN approximately one-fourth the time
that would have been required for a
horse-drawn steamer to have been loaded
on a railway car and shipped TO the point
OF action.
Once at the scene Of the confederation
the motor-driven engine was sent to the
hottest part of the fire, where It worked
side by side with the old style steam
numps. 1t was always in the advance
line OF the fight, and never ceased work
until the fire had been brought under
control.

FEATURE
OF ALL MODERN CARS
Absence of Freak Fads and Faneies
in Popular Priced Car Noted
Nowadays.
PRESSURE OF PUBLIC OPINION

The most striking feature OF the Amer
ican motorcar OF today is its simplicity.
The absence Of freak fads and fancies In
the popular-priced car is the best indi-
cation OF the stability OF the industry.
With the simple, regular construction
day, the automobile has reached the stage
where the most people can AFFORD It,
and the most people must have It to
carry on their Industrial and social ac-
tivities'
The transition of the motorcar from
the designs OF the early day to the sim
pie, powerful and regular vehicle II Is
now. has not been an easy, gradual de-
velopment. This has been true mainly
because the motorcar was q new inven-
ton which sprang into instant favor as
soon as II was developed.
As a matter OF fact. every one was too
busy in the early days OF the industry
trying to supply the demand to perfect
the cars. OF late years, however, the far
sighted manufacturer has recognized the
necessity for turning out a standardized
product. one that will give the greatest
return of service and satisfaction for the
money invested. That is why freak me-
chanical devices are no longer found in
the popular car.
The automobile-buyinE public OF today
knows that with the addition Of every
Of operating the car 10 the best adyant-
age is increased. and IL is the pressure
OF public opinion toward simplifcation
Of design and construction, more than
any other one thing, that has brought
about the standard, trouble-proof car.

GRINDING OF VALVES
MADE EASY OPERATION
Fred N. Clarke, of This City. Files
Patent for Novel and
Practical Tool.
IT'S VERY EASY TO OPERATE

The grinding Of valves has always been
one of the chief dificulties and annoy
ances connected with automobile upkeep.
Many devices have been tried out, but
none of them have heretofore succeeded
in giving the desired satisfaction. One
valve Of the engine in particular is diff
cult of access owing to its location di-
rectIy under the dash. In consequence
this valve is too frequently neglected, re-
sulting in the reduction of the efficiency
of the motor.
Fred n Clarke, of "A Kenyon street,
this city. has produced a tool provided
with a universal joint which renders
valve grinding an easy matter. The valve
under the dash can be reached and
ground as easily as any of the other
valves The distinctive feature of the
Clarke tool is that it can be held at any
convenient angle, which is obviously a
great merit This eliminates the usual
annoyance and inconvenience Of the tool
slipping of the valve in grinding when
accidentally tilted.
Most valves are provided with two
holes which engage two corresponding
projections of the tool. However, some
valves have slots extending across their
Clarke tool has extra attachments which
make it adaptable TO any style valve.
The three particular advantages of the
Clarke universal grinding tool. which has
established its merit. are its ease Of
manipulation. its speed Of operation. and
the efficiency with which il does its work
These are formidable points when IT is re-
membered that all valves should be
ground every 1000 miles.
Many auto owners do not realize the
necessity of frequent valve grinding. The
engine may run apparently well for 1900
or 1000 miles without grinding the valves,
but IL is very unwise to require this of a
motor. 1t is much more expensive in the
long run Often the valves have to be re-
placed by new ones, and the seats be
come so pitted and worn that il requires
many times the labor to seat the new
valves.
Mr.. Clarke's valve grinding tool has
been pronounced by those who have made
use of it to be indispensable. They de-
clare that valves can be ground in al
most one-fourth the usual time, and that
the results are twice as satisfactory.

STORING WINTER VEGETABLES
PROPERLY.

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

If cellar like this is not handy for
use and you have only small amount
OF vegetables to be stored, the kiln
method should be used. The kiln is sim
ply hole dug In the open ground, cir
cular in shape and less than foot
deep. Into this the roots are poured
until they form conical pile a couple
of feet high. A layer Of straw or Gov
ering material should be placed d.
rectly on the vegetables. ard the roots
are poured until they form conical
heap as a final cover. White potatoes,
turnips, and beets will all keep per
fectIy this way. Carrots and satisfy
should be laid away more carefully
These will last much better if instead
of being dumped into the pile they
are placed in alternate layers with
sand between. All vegetables that are
to be stored should be kept In the
garden as late as possible. Do not,
however, let them become very severe
ly frozen. Parsnips and satisfy will
keep very well in the garden where
they have grown, but are some times
very difficult to reach when snow is

PANGGANGs OF MALAY.

Queerest People Known.

Ruled by an Old Witch, They Are the
Queerest People Known.
Ruled by a great enchantress and
having no form of money, the Pang
gangs, tribe in mountainous jungle
in the northern part of the Malay
peninsula, is one of the queerest
known to white men. The tribesmen
are of a negroid type, whose social or
ganization is that of a simple form Of
commonwealth and who are nomadic,
wandering about from place to place
in their. dense jungles and forests.
Among them dwells a woman whose
strange characteristics are strongly
reminiscent Of Haggard's famous
"She." The woman is supposed to be
a great enchantress. She, is held in
dread by the Panggangs. She lives
alone in bamboo hut, shaded by the
leaves of the sacred ubang tree Food
is brought her daily by the Oldest man
or woman of the tribe.
The Panggangs are said to be a
peaceable and honest people. and do
not. among themselves, either fight or
steal. They literally have no use for
money for trading purposes, but if by
chance they get money they bury it, SO
that they may use it in trading after
death. After getting supply of food,
they do no work whatever until the
supply is ended They eat any wild
creature.
These people do not seem to have
any religion, but they have queer
belief In the transmigration of souls.
In their country tigers are numerous,
and they believe that sometimes their
relatives, when they die, become chang
ed into tigers.-Argonaut.

CONDITIONS MAKE ECONOMICAL

ROY H. WAITE, Poultryman.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment

The economical use of feed for
poultry should be practiced at all
times, for in the poultry business, a
penny wisely saved is better than a
penny earned During the present high
price of feed, there is more reason
for being economical, but being
economical does not mean cutting
down on feed, unless the fowls are
too fat 1t does mean balancing the
amount Of feed fed and the eggs or
meat produced, so that the largest re-
turns in the shape of profits will be
realized. have known people who
have fed their hens only the cheapest
feed. thinking they were being econom-
ical and who could have, by adding
a small amount of some high protein
feed, turned their total loss into at
