Motoring Editor.-wiii you please
help. me to ascertain the true facts in
the following opinions:
"a says that a high compression
motor carbonizes easily, gives more re-
volutions per minute. consequently de-
livers more power and is small IN size.
"B" says that q low compression
motor takes a longer time to become
carbonized, gives less revolutions per
minute, consumes more gas, is heavier
and bigger in size, gets hotter and
needs to be twice as large in size as a
smaller high compression motor in
order 20 deliver the same amount OF
power and speed.
How far is each statement true
Please draw the exact difference be-
tween these two kinds Of motors and
the purpose for which they are made.
! win appreciate this favor.
II. NJ.
The present day high speed long,
stroke motor, will deliver a greater
horsepower than win the same bore
Iow-spee motor. This is due to the
fact that the horsepower of a motor
is determined by the mean effective
total pressure on the piston during the
power stroke times the number of feet
per minute the piston travels under
this pressure.
The speed of sthe motor at certain
miles per hour is not determined by
the compression, but by the gear ratio
in the differential; the higher this ra-
ito the less will be the load on the en-
CINE, and the faster 1t must travel for
n given car speed.

and lighter than the same horsepower

Don Lee, who is one Of the popular
automobile men OF the Pacific coast,

ALBRIGHT FOR DELEGATE
TO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

From the Brainerd Daily Dispatch,
Feb. Is:
Hon. C. A. Albright has filed as
one of the district delegates to the
republican national convention and
comes before the people of the Sixth
district for election to that position
at the coming primary. Mr.. ALI
bright is we'll known to the people OF
Brainerd, Crow Wing county, and has
a wide acquaintance in the Sixth dis
trict. He has always taken an &C
tive interest in politics and his re-
publicanism has never been question
ed. He is a young man Of sterling
integrity and has held many positions
of trust. His interests are all in
Northern Minnesota and if he is
elected as one of the district dele
gates it will be an honor well placed,
as Mr.. Albright is deserving of the
confidence of the people.
This is the first time delegates
from this state have been selected
at a primary election, and owing to
the popularity of the law delegates
can only be chosen for presidential
candidates who have made a filing
with the secretary of state. Mr..
Albright has filed as a Cummins del
egate. There are four candidates to be
elected at large and two from each
congressional district.

tors of the supply of girls.

At the recent editorial visit to the
home, the remark most frequently
made by the visitors (and each advan-
-ced as a gem of editorial perspica-
city, was something to the effect
that: eff that roomful of girls was
set alongside an ordinary school room
and l was invited to pick the room
that contained the derelicts, I could
not do it except by sheer guesswork."
All of which is strictly true. The
girls at the school are for the most
part not abnormal, any more than
every person is abnormal.
"But for the grace of God, there
goes Sam Johnson" said wise old
Samuel on one occasion, when a
human wreck went by. And Bishop
Sedgwick, a generation after, added
the human half of the steering COM
mittee, when he noted an inebriate in
the gutter, and said: "But for my
wife and Gods providence, I might
be that man." The sane and kindly
editor of the Duluth Herald the other
day made the application from these
sayings of humility in the following
wise words:
"When you see a tottering human
wreck go by, and are thankful that
you are not like that do not, like the
Pharisee, count it as evidence that
you are a superior being. It should
make you humble, not proud.
"What if you had had that mans
birth, his heredity, his environment,
his temptations, his tragedies? If
you had, are you sure you would have
done better than he?"
The girls at the school are not
"bad," except in the sense in which
every human being is bad. There is
in nearly every one of them the posi-
bility of true and good woman, the
maker of a home, and the loving
mother of happy children. The in
f1uence of the home is altogether to-
ward the realization of that possibil-
ity.
The visitor realizes best the spirit
of the institution at the admins
tration building. The enthusiasm of
the officers, and teachers, the kindly
home atmosphere, the graces of femi-
ninity and culture, are here omni-
present. The staff is of trained
material, with catholicity of mind,
and breadth of experience. At the
head with serene forcefulness sits
no, that is wrong, we doubt if she
sits very much-works and watches
that devoted leader in the modern way
of caring for the unfortunates of So
ciety, Fannie French Morse. Hats off
gentlemen, to another state institu-
tion-for we have one in Fergus Falls
too-where the heads and leaders do
not work by the clock nor the pay
roll, but for the good of the inmates
and the betterment of society.
