Pittsburgh Club Official Asks Driv-

When Fined.

At least six municipalities have start

alleged grounds of violating certain
borough or township ordinances and
are assessing the penalties. according
to Paul G. Wolff. secretary of the Au-
tomobile Club of Pittsburgh. In view
of the circumstances. MIR Wolff says,

the desirability of persons fined de-
manding receipts. He requests that
these receipts be sent to him. in care
of the Automobile Club, so that he can
turn them over to the state highway
department. for the purpose of check

magistrates have made these raids for

pockets and not for the public good

LOWERING COST OF TIRES.
Automatic Stokers and Utilization of
Waste Steam Cuts Expenses.

An indication of the manner in which
big tire manufacturers can reduce the
price of tires, through lowering the
overhead cost of operating. is revealed
by the recent installation of a low
pressure steam turbine in the power
house of the Western Rubber Manu-
featuring Company.
Until recently the exhaust steam from
the numerous engines and vulcanizers
throughout the factory was wasted at
atmospheric pressure. with the excep-
tion Of small percentage, which was
used for heating through vacuum sys-
TENS. Under the new system, the com
pany has installed n 1000 -kilowatt low
pressure exhaust steam turbine, which
utilizes the waste steam from recipro-
eating engines. vulcanizing tanks and
other sources. The steam is collected
at atmospheric pressure, passed through
the turbine into condenser. and de-
velops approximately 500 horsepower
from material that was formerly abso-
lutte waste. The capacity of the power
house has thus been doubled without
adding a cent to the cost of operating
as the same amount of coal is used as
in the past.
Furnishing coal to the autom.' tic
stokers is another interesting example
of efficiency methods at thfs plant

look for a decrease instead of an in

been shipped and sold there SO far this
year, than during the entire year of
1914. Export shipments. not including
Canada. show the same remarkable in
crease over last years figures. AL
though the year is but half over, it was
found at the close of June that foreign
shipments had amounted to fully 70
per cent of the entire export shipments

Orders Showing Gain.
'1n spite of the fact that more cars
are being shipped daily from the fac
tory than ever before, orders are show
ing a steady gain on shipments. The
total untitled orders shown me at the
factory totaled 10000. John N WHY'S,
president of the company, is straining
every effort to cope with this unusual
commercial problem. In u compara-
lively short space of time the produc-
tion has jumped from 200 cars a day to
the present average of 400 cars day.
An army of employees. numbering 1,4O0

Mount High Into the
Millions.

In a plea made by Lord Balfour to the
workers OF Manchester just before the
news of the recapture of PrZemysl was
announced the new first lord of the
British admiralty laid emphasis on the
fact that Russia was forced to give up
the Austrian stronghold which she had
won after one of the hardest cam
paigns of the war. because of her lack
of war munitions.
This in great measure was due to the
fact that the ice-bound harbor of Arch
angel was closed to traffic for the sea-
son. Had Germany and Austria's con-
centrated assault on Przemysl come a
little later, when the ice had thawed
sufficiently to permit of navigation. the
story of the retaking of the Austrian
stronghold undoubtedly would have

matter that is disturbing the motor in
dustries of all the European nations. vast

They believe it will wreck their business,

serviceable by repairs and the "invalids
which will be good for nothing but the
scrap heap.
Under the plan that has been made the
perfect cars will be retained in the mill
tary service and the 'invalids' will be
sold for scrap. The "half-invalids" will

FOR PEACE.

David S. Jordan, president of Lee

of the international Peace Congress,
recently held in San Francisco, told
President Wilson yesterday that a
quasi-official meeting of neutral ma
tons probably would be held some
time before Christmas, either at The

tempt to bring about peace in Europe
DR.. Jordan conveyed to the President
a resolution from the Peace Congress,
urging him to cooperate with other
neutrals in calling such conference.
In statement laid before the Presi
dent by Dr.. Jordan it was declared
that as result of recent missions
to the governments of the warning
nations, it could be stated that, while
the nations at war were not willing
themselves to begin negotiations for
peace, "there is nevertheless abund-
ant evidence that those charged with
the administration of the foreign
policies of these nations would well
come, or at least not oppose, affirma-
tive action by neutral agency TO
bring about peace based on interna-
tional justice"
