HAS PLAN TO HARNESS WINDS.
Would Have Windmill Do Work for
Farmers Wife.

"Old Doc" Harvey w. Wiley. sit
ting in his office on theNeleventh floor
of a Washington, d. c.. business
building, looked out of the window
and called attention to the flags
,briskly fluttering.
THAT breeze" he said. represents
a vast amount of power that is going
to waste. When all the coal mines
and oil wells are used up we shall
employ the energy of the wind 10
warm our houses and illuminate our
cities.
ALREADY there Is a movement In
this direction. The farmers all over
the country. and particularly in the
west. are taking up the matter. They
are substituting windmills for gaso-
line engines to produce electricity for
all sorts Of uses on the farm.
"Throush the medium Of windmills
the forces of nature can be made to
do mans work. IL is a mode of har-
Messing the sun. which Is the source
and origin of all energy; for 1t is the
sun that causes all movements of the
atm mosphere. A 16-foot windmill, its
power properly utilized, should keep
a farmhouse at 10 degrees Fahren-
heit all winter. even though the tenn
perature outside was at 40 degrees
below zero. Electric heaters suita BILE
for the purpose are already on the
market.
"It has been proved that 16-foot
windmill will furnish enough cleo
tricity to light the biggest farmhouse
and to illuminate all stables and out
buildings for a farm of O thousand
and two hundred acres. Furthermore.

~The necessity for the storage bat

must be periods during which no

battery being most conveniently
placed in the farmhouse attic, while

BEATS TRAIN 55
TIMES IN a DAYS
Waterloo (Ia.) Dealer
Makes Record in Cad
lilac Eight.

Various parts of the country have
reported again and again how the
cadillac Eight has beaten trains H.
races between gasoline and steam. But
mono of the previous feats has been
quite so unique-Or caused quite FL
much comment in its imme ediat,
neishborhood-as that Just performed
by the car in Iowa. This car beat b
train, too-not once, but 55 times n,
a four-day period.
The commercial club OF Waterloo.
Iowa, was making a get acQuaint-
ed tour in a special train, visiting
% towns. c. \. Morris, the Cadillac
dealer at Waterloo, arranged to ac
company the train, in a Cadillac, over
me entire route. He arranged with
a Dank or a newspaper in each of the
towns to send with him to the mex,
town to be visited, someone familiar
with the road.
The result was that the Cadillac,
though leaving each town at the time
the Train pulled away. invariably ar
rived at the next stopping place be-
fore the train reached it. Several
times members of the club rode in
the Cadillac from point to point; ana
throughout the trip. the motor car
was the chief conversational topic,
not only aboard the train, but in the
towns visited.
The engineer of the train took It
as personal affront that the Cadil-
lace should be such a consistent win
ner and on one stretch of about six
miles The last day Of the tour opened
up for a gait Of is miles an hour.
But the Cadillac leaped to the same
speed and beat the train, as usual.

THREE MILLION
FOR HIGHWAYS
Estimate of American High
way Association; Cam
paign Of Education.

During the year 1916 1t is not un-
likely that about $500, 100000 will be
spent on highways and highway
bridges in the United States, or about
as much as one-third the cost OF the
federal government for the fiscal year
1894, says the American Highway
association. The average citizen who
Is ask cd to vote for the issue Of high
way bonds and who pays road taNys.
as well as the expert, has the right
TO know how the money is expended
and that 1t shall be expended for road
building and road maintenance 40 as
to obtain the largest economical re-
suits.
That such results may be reached
the American Highway association
has entered upon u campaign of cdu-
cation by bringing together in its
book "a general outline Of the meth
oos in use in the different states of
conducting road improvements and of
raising funds for such work; an un-
technical and practical explanation
of different types of road improve

CITES HAZARDS IN
USE OF GASOLINE
Report for Bureau of Mines
Gives Advice on Hand
ling 1t in Garages.

Motor car dealers, garage men and
others who have to deal with gaso-
| line will find much of interest in a
report prepared for the federal bu-
reau of mines by George A. Rurrell.
The subject of the report is Hazards
in Handling Gasoline"
Among other things, he says, a
dangerous practice, common in many
garages. is the cleaning of parts with
gasoline from an open can. En-
ployes find it easy to clean grease and
oil from the motor ana other parts
with n brush saturated with gasoline
and the gasoline is readily ignited by
a spark. Such a spark may be
caused by striking two pieces of
metal together, by the ignition system
en- the car when the starting crank is
turned and in ether ways. In one in
| stance a nut that stuck was struck
with wrench causing a spark. The
Car was instantly enveloped in flame.
The report further says that oily
waste should at all times be placed in
safe receptacle to avoid the danger
of spontaneous combustion. Oily
waste will decay. smolder and in time
burst into flame. Sawdust when
soaked with oil drippings will do the
same thing and its use should be for
bldoen. Sand is a safe material TO
use as an anSoTDeHL OF OIL. III tSlib-
lishments where gasoline and other
inflammahle liquids are used care
should be taken to see that the
smallest practicable quantities are
used and that the liquids are used in
an 81 proved manner
No open light or flame of any kind
nor any machine or belt capable of
prodl cling 4 spark should be allowed
In the room where the gasoline is be
Ing used. All shafting and machines
with belts that are liable to cause a
static electric spark should be well
grounded. only incandescent cleo
tric lights should be used, and these
should be provided with guards to
prevent their being smashed. All
electric switches, fuses, etc, should be
outside the room. Danger signs
should be posted on all doors opening
into the room, warning against the
carving of open lights Of any kind
inside.
When large quantities Of the in
flammable Eqpids mentioned are
used the main supply should be stored
in q metal tank buried underground
and a safe distance from buildings.
The working supply should be
pumped into the buildings as needed
and the system so arranged that when
the pump is stopped all liuuld in the
pipes will flow back into the supply
tank. When the use Of an open can
is necessary the opening should be as
small as possible and cover should
be provided. The cover should be put
on whenever the can it not in use.
Signs should be posted prohibiting
an open flame near the place OF
storage or near pump or other
handling apparatus. The signs
should explain the danger involved
