who follow him to his hotel, seeking interviews and

The unfortunate thing about the majority Of these

Benton Spark Plug.

In the new Benton spark plug made
by the L. B. Benton Company, of YER
gennes, VT, the feature is a mica in
sulation on the central electrode, de-
signed to be taken apart by unscrewing
steel bushing. The electrode has a
cross section larger than the insula-
ton to conduct the heat and give the
plug, she'll and core more uniform
temperature. The shell electrode wire
curves around the central electrode,
giving the spark wide range Of jump.
Both ends of this wire are attached to
the shell.

A sufficient number Of 1915 models

experts hsve begun 20 figure out what
they indicate. One Of the FIST papers
along this line 70 be published was
written By Ernest n Stephens, IN "The
HorseIess Age,S Of September 1. Mr..
Stephens has examined more than
hundred no,T models and makes some
interesting deductions.

itlropped back after a littio more than
six months 20 $500 per cent, which was
about the position which tho six-cylin-
der occupied in 1918. Nj. stephens
saws;
Both The FOUR and the six In thus
failing 10 maintain their respective po-
sltions make room for the newcomers,
the eight and the twelve. The former,
which stood at the almost negligible
fqure OF .O6 per cent early this year,
now looms largo with a percentage Of
1896 per cent, ond tho twelve, ss a
newcomer, starts we'll with 6.9s per
cent.
Tho growing popularity of the small
bore motor Of relatively high speed Is
strongly evidenced by the fact that
close on 10 per cent Of the new models
announced to date have cylinders OF
81 inches or less, whereas this year
no less than TAT per cent Of the cylin-
der bores were from 31S inches 70 Al
inches. Cylinders with borss Of AZ
inches and over are rapidly disappear

Nearly co per cent have cylinders
cast en- bloc and 1879 per cent Of the
total are Of L-head type, another de-
velopment indicated by the figures Of
past years. This year GA per cent Of
the cylinders have integral heads, leav-
ing 500 per cent with separate heads,
The new figures indicate the position
Is reversed, separate heads leading with
6sss per cent.
Battery and distributor ignition
continues TO gain IN popularity, being,
no doubt. aided in a measure by the fact
that electrical starting and lighting
systems involving the use Of a genera
tor and storage battery are IN universal
use. The available figures show that
no less than 1886 per cent specify this
form Of ignition.
"Details Of starting Systems employed
are not get available in complete form,
but at the moment II would seem that
nearly two-thirds Of the car manufact-
urers favor the single unit form.
Vacuum fuel feed which, with per
centage OF 25.6, occupied third position
in 1915, has displaced both pressure
and gravity systems and now heads the
let with 1889 per cent followed by
gravity with 3oG5 per cent, and press

Helping the Speedway Along.

General Manager Eyerard Thompson OF the
sheepshead Bay Speedway, tells he has been
besieged by the strangest people he in his
life Most of them have been young men who de-
sire 20 become famous racing drivers. One of the
oldest cases w%s that of an Italian woman who
called in the interest of her son, who Is motor
truck driver. She said she was convinced her boy
could prove himself an exceptional racing driver
II Mr.. Thompson would give him a chance to
appear in the Aston Cup race. lie had never driven
anything but a truck, but she had doubt that
he could prove his ability and get within the money
Of the big race.
Mr.. Thompson offered her little advice about
the advantages OF a good, steady job for her boy
and urged her to persuade him to stick to the
truck.
Another young man, evidently Of Swedish birth,
was also DESTROYS Of becoming a De Palma
Resta. This Is how he explained It by letter:
"Meneger Tomson,
Race tract Boss.

Still another young man. employed In the hu-
initiating position Of printing pressman's assist
ant. wrote that he could not stand this work much
longer and "yesrned TO feel the thrill Of a speedy
monster"
Many young ladies have offered their services to
the speedway usheresses, candy stand attendants
nurses FOR hospital tents and grand tana dejec
lives. Most Of them announce that they would
prefer position which would enable them TO see
the 36O-mile race.

 BLACKLIST LAW

TUCSON, Jan. 11-Since the anti blacklist law went into effect there has been persistent rumor circulat- ing in Tucson to the effect that as result of the law the Southern Pacific shops would be taken from Tucson and moved to a state where they can be operated without the inconvenience imposed by the drastic law Master Mechanic Peterson stated today that there is no truth In the rumor regard ing the removal Of the shops He has heard absolutely nothing official -about the matter and has no reason to think that such a plan has even been considered.
 The anu-blacklist law is working a great inconvenience in the mechan- ical department O fthe road, as cer- tain requirements are necessary in hiring men to work in this department and under the law it is impossible to make the necessary inquiries of the men desiring employment. To over come this difficulty, the new employees are hired in Los Angeles and Fl Paso. There are certain positions in the de pertinent work which can be filled .here without necessity of violating the law; engine wipers and similar la borers come in this class. The E. P. & S. W. is not hiring men for any po- sition in Arizona.
 There are now more men working in the shops than for some time pre- vious. There are about 600 men work ink eight hours a day, five days in the week. The recent increase in the work ing force is not new men, but old employees were put back to work The increased work in the shops is due to the recent growth of railroad traf- fc due Co a great extent 10 the expo siuons in California and a somewhat better general business condition throughout the country

SAYS COTTON POOL
 BROUGHT DISASTER
TEXAS BANKS DECLINE TO MAKE LOANS UNDER CONDITIONS
 IMPOSED

FORT WORTH. Texas, Jan. H. Peter Radford, National Lecturer of the Farmers Union, when asked by a representative fthe press today if the farmers O fthe South would ap, .ply for loans under the terms of the S135, 900 OOO cotton pool, said:
 'I do not know of banker in Tex as or elsewhere who is willing to lend money ,o the farmers at six per cent under the provisions of the pool and do no think many farmers would care to qualify for a loan. It is to be re- gretted that the officers of that move ment are not frank enough to admit that the failure fthe pool is due to inherent defects fthe plan. It has not only faile dcompletely, bu tit has in
 directly cost the Southern cotton pro ducers millions of dollars. I think it 1 can be truthfully said that had the Ip,an never been suggested, several million of dollars would have been | loaned against cotton in the Soutf 1 by many banks ho subscribed to the J fund in good faith and naturally, with
 such a pledge becoming a liability they might be called upon to assume, they did not give consideration to making
 direct loans as the Southern banker has always done, and as a result th'
 pool cut off the local money suppl! and forced the cotton on the market l have no doubt the promoters acted
 in good faith bu tthe movement hal been a serious disaster to the South.

Lime Combats Tuberculosis

"It is difficult to escape the con viction that lime starvation and lime assimilation are the real issues be- hind tho masks of Vulnerability and resistance in tuberculosis" writes Ira Van Gieson, N. D., In the May ii, 1912, issue of the New York "Med teal Record"
 Dr. Van Gieson is eminent in his profession, and his assertion that lime assimilation is the real issue" in resistance to tuberculosis bears the stamp of authority
 Ordinarily lime is not easily assim Hated incidentally, but Eckman's Al formative is in such form and com lbinatlon as to insure assimilation by the average person.
