Bad Russian, Roads.

'eThe German campaign in Russia this year, has demonstrated 8 great deal to the makers of German war trucks says B. V. Hartford. The biIe-Rundschau,'' for July, notes the following. regarding spring construction:
 It was soon proved that the wagons of each and every firm have a. special weakness. The conmonest effect of the Russian roads was spring frac- lures. Practically none but front springs were broken, however, and these only in two characteristic places, namely, close to the front pivot exactly at the end of the first leaf adjacent to the single or double main leaf and, secondly, a few centi- meters in front of the clip-rarely at the hole between the clips. It hap pened that the spring forging at the front end of the 6rane was forced deeply into the road when a fracture took place. The manner of securing spring pivots and shackles to the frame was not always found substan- tial. In the case of one firm, the plug carrying the rear spring shackle came loose guIarly. It was joined to the lower frame fange by six rivets, and the heads came off, t

First Speed, Then. Safety.

s.In the good old thoroughbred, running-horse racing days of New York state, the breeders claimed that they raced their horses with view of irnproving the breed, and not for betting purposes, says E.: V. Hart ford.
 "By this same token, automobile makers race their cars, with a view of improving the breed of$ automo- piles, and if one will look over last weeks racing cars, very good idea may be obtained of the mechanical tendencies of the product. For in stance, all of the racing cars were equipped with demountable wire wheels having demountable rims. All the cars also had shock absorbers, placed front and rear in all sorts of positions and angles. Nearly all. the racing cars use the left-hand drive. All these things go to show that the racing car driver first looks out for speed and then for safety"

Automobile News
The Owners Suggestion.

''The critical autornc bile buyer is the man who is responsible for the progress made in automobile con struction,' states w. B. Stalnaker.
 ttAutomobile owners who drive their cars have not only been deriving much pleasure and recreation from their machines but they also have been making suggestions and good ones to the engineers. They have de- manded lighter cars and more. eco noTnical ones. The manufacturer was quick to take this suggestion and light weight has been obtained without sac ridcing quality.
 tThe substitution of lighter and tougher metals has replaced the heavier metals. Heavy iron castings have been replaced with lighter but tougher steel stalmpings and drop forgings. This reduction in weight meant economy on gasoline, oil, and tire biIls.''

 Notwithstanding his amiability all agree that he has only one criterion success. If an officer fails he is su- Pereded. Most of these young ad- rnirals sleep on the bridge even in harbor. For the last ten years the average British naval officer has worked harder than men of any pro- fession in civil life. They have kept ID the grinding drill, which coutin- ues since the war began.
 we can take nv risks,' one Eof them said. "Our responsibili to the nation requires that we neglect noth- ing that devotion to duty will accom- plish. Most of these crews you see have been at their posts, whether gun pointing or passing ammunition, for five or six years. We want each man to be letter perfect in his part
 In all actions this far the firing has begun at extreme range-eighteen thousand yards. At that distance a Dreadnought painted the color of the sea is a vague speck. But one for tunate hit may be vital, and either side wants to get that fortunate hit first. The accuracy of fire both at the Falkland Islands and in the battle of the Dogger Bank had been as good as at battle practice.
 Seen among his admira1s, Sir John Je11icoe seems the head of a family In frequent consu1tation, they know one another in thF fellowship of their confined existence. If he had any thing to say to one of them or they to him, the 'definiteness of their re- marks and the proTnptness of his re- plies were impressive. Decision seemed automatic with him.
 He showed the visitors over the flagship himself, calling attention to things, which he thought would inter est them. as he led the way along the cramped passages behind the armor or pointed the way to enter one of the turrets where the gun-crews were going on with their drill, which they went through like so, many human machines. Most of them were in the early thirties, mature, experienced, and confident.
 "Al1 they ask is that the Germans will come out," said an officer. 'HThey could not work any harder than they did before the war. But the war has given them renewed eagerness.''

Shanghai, Oct 14-Dincu1ties which beset educational leaders in their battle against Chinese superst- ton are Illustrated in recent riot at Peitsai, caused by the conversion of a Buddhist monastery into a public school.
 For several years the Sunching monastery had been used in part for school purposes. In deference to the superstition of the villagers, however, the school committee did not remove the idols of Kuanyin and other budd- has from the monastery until such a step became necessary to make room for more pupils
 The monks were indignant and in spired a number of hags to circulate the report that Buddha Kuanyin had by means of Inspiration ordered them to ask the counuynnen to resist the removal of the images from the mon astery temple

 In g, recent publication of the Bu- reau of Standards, Department of Commerce, a method for measuring earth resistivity which Is free from some of the faults of methods which have previously been used is describ~ ed. The method is particularly adapt ed to those eases in which it is i'm portant that the measurement be made without disturbing the earth, as is necessary where a sample IS taken into the laboratory for meas urement, and in those cases where we wish to measure resistivity of a fairly large portion of earth, extending to a considerable depth.
