GRABBING
FOR PORK

The passage OF the regular river
and harbor appropriation, which has
just occurred for this session in the
lower House of Congress, Is always
the occasion for much denunciation.
The whole system is of course pre-.
posterouus and unbnsinesslike. Prob,
ably the overhead expense of the post
Office business is tripled by the great.

buildings as against rented quarters.
Waterway projects are kept dangling
along, providing spoil for politicians,
but at cost Tar IL excess of any
possible economic value.
Yet 1t might he we'll to ask whether
Congress is primarily responsible. 1t
can not be expected that a Congress,
man will go to Washington from pure
patriotic zeal. with no thought of per-
.sonal advancement He Is just as
anxious for a successful career as any
other normal man. 1t is right that
he should seek to make good, which
means to be reelected. He is the
servant of his district II his dist
riot disapproves of him, rejects him
at the next election, he is marked as
a failure, and his political career Is
terminated.
A Congressman tries to please his
constituents, as any hired man tries
To please his employer. If the con
stituents demand that he grab fol

LIVING ON
LESS THAN $500

A recent government bulletin says
that the average family cant be well
supported on less than $500 year,
and that less than half of working
mems households have that income.
II asks whether workingmen shall
lower standards OF diet, or put up
with less heathful and well located
homes.
While less than $500 calls for strict
economy. the same pioneer spirit that
built up this country enables many
families to get along comfortably and
respectfully on less. People who
have a hankering for city life will
move into ten story apartment, and
have pretty jolly time of 1t in three
or four rooms. In smaller towns,
rents are increasing, and many fam
lilies give up having individual houses
and move into two and three family
dwellings and like them. 1t is better
than moving to larger house in a
less agreeable neighborhood.
There is such thing as having too
many household belongings. A family
of four do not need 90 chairs to sit
down in. The less space, the less
cleaning and the fewer steps.
Formerly many working people had
meat two or three times a day. Now
many persons of wealth, on advice of
diet specialists, are largely cutting
out meat. They find a glass OF milk
equally nourishing, more dlgestible,
and 1t costs far less. A good back
yard garden of beans and peas and
potatoes makes one very independ-
ent of the butchers lordly prices.
So the family on less than $500

NEW DUAL
POW Err CAR

What is by far the most radical
and interesting development recently
carried out in electric vehicle con-
struction is represented in a new du-
al power car that has just made its
appearance.
In designing the machine an at
tempt has been made to embody the
best features of both the gasoline
and electric cars. The result is a
truly remarkable vehicle which has
the body lines and general appear
ance Of an electric, the speed and
touring radius of gas car, the com
forts of both, and the drawbacks of
neither.
The car is capable of unusual per.
formances. It can be driven on gas.
oline power alone, electric alone, or
both at the same time. A maximum
speed of about 35 miles an hour is
attainable. When driving on gaso.
line, the surplus power, or that de-
veloped in excess of what Is actual
ly needed to carry the machine at a
desired speed, is saved, for the mo-

the gasoline supply run short at any
time the batteries are good for 30
miles. When a steep hill Is to be
climbed driver has the advantage
OF two forms OF motive power. The
danger of stalling the car Is entirely
obviated, for should the engine stop

ing.
From an economic standpoint the
machine Is unusual. Road tests have
shown that II is possible to get 40
miles out of one gallon of gasoline
For a car of the size and weight. of
this one, the record at first thought
seems incredible. While driving on
the engine alone about 80 miles Is
possible with gallon OF fuel. While
doing this, however, the batteries are
charged for an additional 10 miles
1t will be seen that the trouble and
expense of battery charging present
in all electric cars, are absent here
The weight OF the machine is 3lOC
pounds as against 4200 pounds of the
electric of which II Is an outgrowth
! Since the battery space is lessenet
| by half, room is available at the real
to conceal an extra tire. The only
way in which the car differs In ap
pearance from the conventional
brougham is that the hood has 6
streamline effect and a neat V.shap
ed radiator is provided at the front
It should be understood that there Il
no transformation OF power except
that which otherwise would be vast
ed. This distinguishes the car from
those known as gasoline electrics -
