IS RUN BY STEAM
NEW MACHINE SAID TO BE A
 COMPLETE SUCCESS.
Embodies Best Features of Both Gas and Steam cars-Has Great Speed Capacity With Practically
 No Engine Vibration.

As a result of prolonged experi- ments, Detroit inventor has devel- oped a steam-power automobile which seems to obviate most of the objec- tions usually presented by vehicles of its type. In a general way it embOdies many of the best features of both gas and steam cars. By turning a switch and opening the throttle, the car is started almost instantly. There are no gears, levels, or clutch to operate, while unlimited flcxibility is afforded. From a snail's pace to a speed of S0 miles an hour, the car is said to run practically without engine vibration. There is no noise, and nothing to watch but the road. So far as appear ance Is concerned, the machine would ordinarily be mistaken for a gasoline car. Fourteen miles can be covered with a gallon of kerosene. The steam is condensed after being used, and saved. This makes 1t possible to travel from 1900 to 2.0o0 miles without re- plenishing the water supply. The for nation of scale or rust in the boiler IS lFeNtnIetl. since lUt iuDTltdIluS oll is carried to the engine by the steam. Thus the inside of the tubes is con stantly coated with a thin film of oil. The experimental car has been driven 5000 miles during the last three years without repairs, and is claimed 10 be in perfect running condition. The fuel is vaporized, mixed with air in a car buretor, heated, and burned in a spe- cially designed combustion chamber. A small electric blower supplies the necessary volume of air, while the ignition is accomplished electrically. The latter is the striking feature of the system, for 1t relieves the driver of the necessity of giving attention or labor to the matter of firing the boiler. In case the car stands inactive for sev- eral days, about minute and a half is required in starting 1t. If, however, it has merely been idle over night, or dur ing a corresponding period, 1t starts at once.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

JUST A WORD TO DRIVERS
Consider the Youngsters Who May Get in Your Path. and Give Them
 Chance.

Say, Mir. Motorcar driver. Have you got any youngsters? And don't they, like every other child, get away from the home yard once in a while and run a little loose on the street?
 Well. how would you like to come home some night and find that some careless driver had run your child down?
 Then consider the youngsters of ev- erybody else as you would have every other mOtOrist consider your young sters. IL is natural for youngsters to get panic-stricken if big mOtOrcar looms up on them when they are cross ing the street. They oftentimes stop dead still or else run right into the path of an Oncoming car. The safest thing 10 do is to slow down when there are children in your path. Give them all the best of the chance. Be prepared to stop still and let 'em do as their little minds bid them.
 When you are running a motorcar keep your eyes peeled for tiny tots and at all times consider the youngsters !- Toledo News-Bee.

tire. and a rather unique sled runner to be fastened to the hub of the wheel. At the front and rear end of this run ner is mounted a small wheel resem- bling gear. These are so placed that their spikes or cOgs engage with those on the special tire tread just as the cogs of two spur gear wheels engage each other. In this way these two small auxiliary wheels keep the cogs or spikes of the car wheel from filling up and becoming smooth as the shod foot of horse becomes filled up with a "snowball." This insures that the car wheels shall have good traction at all times. and also prevents danger of the wheels slipping from side to side. The purpose of the inventor seems to be, to give the same sure footedness" to the car on slippery win ter roads which is to be had by use of tire chains, and still to give the greater smoothness of riding to the passengers to be had with sleds as compared to wheeled vehicles-espe- cially when the roads are more or less rough and ''choppy.

Too Many Careless Drivers.

Observations have been made to record care shown by automobile drivers and in 35,O00 instances the following results were noted: 5 per cent looked neither way before pass Ing over a grade crossing; per cent looked one way only, and 114 motor car drivers (about half of per cent) actually stopped their machines be- fore proceeding to pass over the cross ing. These figures show that few men of uadoubted intelligence display the necessary caution that may save their lives, limbs and property, by simply waiting a moment or two to al- low the train to pass.

Ienqthen Tire Use.

Probably two-thirds of the expense by tire upkeep. There are many things that drivers can do to lengthen the life of their tires, but it is impossible to get the most out of tire without the use of tire tester and a small vulcanizer that will repair small cuts and injuries in castings. A repairnan Is not always on hand and such a small vulcanizer may save serious in- convenience.

OUer Attempt to

POSTERS ADVERTISING ASHLAND
SHOW ARE MISLEADING -
IN EVERY WAY.

There is considerable resentment in
Pendleton over the posters being sent
out by the men back of a wild west
show to be staged at Ashland on
July 4-5-6. In LOld type is printed
"See the Pendleton Roundup at Ash
land July 4-5-6,' with a slogan, imi-
tative of the local slogan, reading Let
i'm Buck"
The fact that there is absolutely no
connection between the Pendleton
Roundup and the little show which
is to he staged at Ashland makes the
advertisements manlfestly fraudulent
in the view of the Roundup directors
The Misrepresentation, it is pointed
out, will do the local show an injus-
tce inasmuch as it is but a small af-
fair and can in no way vie with the
big September attraction in this city
other places. putting on wild west
shows, have borrowed the name
