Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for triie less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavenng power.
If a cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is q waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

LOS ANGELES, Sept 23.-Shifting sands have rendered useless, since it was completed last May, the $63000 portable plank road constructed across the Colorado desert, between Holtville, Cal, and Yuma, Ariz., on the Old Trails transcontinental highway, and automobilists look for the real test of it's practicability when it is cleared for traffic and put into general use this fall
 San Diego and Imperial county of ficials pleaded lack of funds to main tain a repair crew to clear sand from the road and the California highway commission, which built the road, with drew it's men and teams However, both state and county authorities have agreed to keep men and teams enough on duty during the fall and winter months to fight back the obliterating sands.
 The road is said to be the only one Of it's kind in the United States. It is composed of three strips which total approximately ten miles. The strips are formed by 12-foot sections of four inch planking. The sections are eight feet wide and weigh approximately 1,500 pounds each. Along each side and the center of each section is fas- tened a wood strip to bind the boards together.
 The blanks are supported by heavy stringers upon which are spiked the boards and top connecting strips. TC prevent the spikes from working loose in the terrific heat and traffic wear strips of steel one eighth o1

 The geography of the country tra- versed by the road makes almost constant upkeep worls necessary. The desert sand is nearly of the consist ency of hour glass sand. There are sand dunes, ranging in height from ten to 15O feet. which move, it is estimated. from five to fifty feet yearly. Engineers said the slightest disturbance at the base of even one of the largest dunes starts it in motion.
 It probably will be necessary to change the course of the road every
 three years. This. however, can be done at slight cost. they said, as the sections can be uniointed and re- placed wherever desired Small quantities of sand on the road can be removed but when one of the larger dunes shifts to a position across the road. they estimated the most economical procedure would be to move the road. The eight-foo: with of the road does not permit vehicles to pass each other so doublc turnouts have been placed every 100C feet.

HOW GEAR TEETH ARE TESTED OUT
Dodge Brothers Engineers Develop Machine to Measure Force
 Needed to Break Them.

Every part that enters into a high grade motor car must pass series of rigid tests. In the plant of Dodge Brothers, acknowledged to be one of the best of the industry, nothing is left to chance. Every part is not only thor oughly tested but so carefully are tests conducted that it is definitely known just what each part will stand.
 In testing the teeth of gears the ordi- nary test has been to deliver a powerful blow against the teeth. The effect of the blow was easily apparent but it was impossible to measure how much force had been expended. The problem was put up to the engineers of Dodge Brothers and they developed q machine that delivers the blow and at the same time measures the force used.
 The principle is the same as though a workman took a chisel, placed it against a tooth and struck the chisel with a hammer In the case of the , machine a sharp blade is forced against the tooth with a heavy impact and on a dial the left over energy is registered. It is a simple matter of mathematics then to calculate the amount of force
 needed to break the tooth.

B|G COOLING BATTERY
 AT GOODYEAR PLANT

To provide for the constant flow of electric power and at the same time conserve the water supply which rotates the great 10000 K. V. A. tur- bine at the plant of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, the company is erecting a bat tery of , cooling towers. the first to be installed by any of the large rub Der companies of the country.
 The cooling battery is being install ed in sections each equipped with a 12-foot rotary fan. These create a current of cold air through which the oyerheated water coming from the turbine may splash and reenter the turbine at the proper temperature. In this manrer 12, 300 gallons of water may be cooled each minute and used over again indefinitely. It is estl- mated that in year the water vast age will amount to less than ) per cent.
 This will effect a wonderful saving in GOCdvoars water consumption, and conserve the supply for other uses for after the cooling system is once | filled with the required amount ol
 water, no more need be added except | to replenish the small quantity es- | caning by evaporation.
 In F,urone cooling systems of this | type have been in use for some years but their use in the United States is
 comparatively recent, thus Goodyear | becomes one of the pioneers in the
 utilization of this method of water conservation. l Much of the success of The Good year Company in building and sellins i tires has been derived through tn:
 same effort at conservation-that tht savings effected might be put back 1T

RUSH LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

President Wilson recently sent an
appeal to the House leaders for great
er celebrity in action upon administra
ton measures now pending. The re-
quest has born fruit as indicated by
the meeting of the members of the
Hosse majority held recently. A
resolution was adopted binding the
House leaders to push the administra-
tion's Legislative program. The ap-
preparation bills carrying the neces-
sary financial provisions for national
defense measures come first in i'm
portance; followed next by the legis-
lation providing additional revenue,
with an a~nti-dumping clause, and a
provision for q tariff commission.
The next in the order of their inn
portance are the ship purchase bill
and the rural credits measure, the
Philippines, Porto Rico, the conser-
vation bills, the Mississippi river re-
lief measure and the corrupt prac-
tlces act. The anti-dumping measure
IS designed to prevent a flooding of
this country OF foreign made goods

"Ihis year" Mr.. Barnes asserted,
"the periodical candidacy of Mr..
Roosevelt for president of the United
States is based upon Americanism,
and such sporadic support as he is
receiving comes from his declaration
in behalf of proper national defense.

The house of representatives has
done well in resisting the demand for
a large increase in the army. The
continental army idea was rejected
and provision made for an increase
in the state militia. Instead of rails
ing the appropriations for the army
from one hundred millions to FIVE
hundred millions as demanded by the
army experts, they made a moderate
increase-more than was necessary,
but a fair compromise of extreme
views. The democratic party can GO
