Used Regal Car for
Motor Power in Boat

a transportation innovation which
should become common in all waterside
districts has been effected by an in
ventive merchant of Aberdeen, Washing
ton. Mr. Houtarie
HIS Regal touring car serves not only
to carry him back and forth on land, but
IL used as the driving mechanism OF
thirty foot, eide wheel scow, with which
he navigates the waters of Gray's Har-
Dor and the Chehalis river.
Mr.. Houtarie built a scow, similar to
the small ferry boats on inland rivers
except that this boat has paddle wheels,
with gears attached, but no power in the
boat itself. The Regal furnishes the
wherewithal for travelling. Mr.. Houtarie
drives right on the scow, makes couple
OF connections and away goes his novel
ship with great churning OF water and
considerable speed.
The scow has large freight capacity
and the car has power enough to carry
all that can be loaded on lt-more power
than is usually applied to self-driven
boats OF this type.

Test in California

and mud, on 100 gallons OF gasoline, and
at the end showed small evidence Of

which have caused IL 20 be heralded all

itself for adaptation by other wide
awake motor truck agencies. The Cali

A 10o-gallon tank. filled with gasoline
and mounted on the truck chassis. was
sealed at the start Of the run in San

and measures. He also unsealed It at
the end. together with the speedometer

During its Journey from San Francisco
the truck travelled all over northern Calf
fornia and encountered every conceivable
form of service experience The truck
was stopped and started over LOO times.
The object constantly was TO run the
truck under conditions of every day ser
vice. The average OF twelve miles to

One of the features OF the run was the

by Russian military critics. Their ex-
pectation is based I'm part on the unusual

The activity leads TO the belief that the
Germans may be preparing an offensive
in the north for the purpose OF counter
