FEWER AUTO MISHAPS
INVESTIGATION SHOWS A MOST
GRATIFYING DECREASE.
Drivers Evidently Are Becoming More
Expert, and Pedestrians More
Careful.

After careful study of statistics on
the subject which it gathered exten.
sively, the United States census bu-
is less deadly now, proportionately,
than it was formerly, when fewer of
them were in use.
The impression is created that tho
people on foot not only have become
more accomplished dodgers, but that
the drivers of motors, though they are
daily increasing in number to an amaz
ing degree, are actually operating theiI
cars with more care and with more re
gard for public safety than few years
ago.
The census bureau discovered that
automobiles during the five years, from
1909 to 1914, increased more than twice
as fast as the number of fatalities
caused by them. III 1909, it is shown,
the number of automobiles in use in
the United States was approximately
100000. By the close of 1914 it was
100000.
No attempt is made to approximate
the number of automobiles in use at
the present time, but, judging from the
rate of increase in the last few years,
it must be considerably more than g.
100000, which is an average of about
one for every SO persons in the coun-
try. This, of course, would include the
motors used for commercial purposes.
The bureau has issued bulletin on
the subject of automobile fatalities.
1t shows that the number of deaths
due to automobile accidents and in
juries increased from 632 in the death
registration area in 1909, containing
Sc per cent of the population of the
United States, to 2,623 in the same
area in 1914; and the increase from
1913 to 1914. for the registration area
as constituted in 1913, then containing
SIS per cent of the population of the
country, was from 2 LASS to 2,795.
Thus a iive-year increase of 775 per
cent-accepting as reliable the figures
compiled by the National Automobile
chamber of commerce-in number of
machines has been accompanied by
an increase of 315 per cent in automo-
bile fatalities; and one-year increase
of IS per cent in number of machines
has been accompanied by an increase
of IL per cent in fatalities.

0vercomes Difficulty Which Many
Garage Owners Must
Have Met With.
OCCUPIES BUT LITTLE SPACE
Hinged in Three Sections, One of
Which Provides Ordinary Passage

Designed for Medium
Sized Building.

Owing to the fact that in the small
or medium-sized garage the door open
ing is almost as wide as the building
the hanging of the door frequently
presents problem, remarks a writer
in Successful Farming. Convenience
and economy of space are essential.
Swinging doors are more or less
clumsy and inconvenient. and in time
are apt to sag and bind. They have
been displaced, to large degree, by
sliding doors, of which several types
are now in common use.
The simplest sliding door is hung
outside, like barn door, the track eX-
tending beyond the building to a post
in the yard to accommodate the door
when open. This type is very salts

BEARINGS Need Plav.

1t is important that ball bearings
have just the correct amount of play
in their runs. If too much, there will
be a blow of great force delivered
when the wheel is thrust sidewise,
and this is the usual cause of split
balls. If not enough play, there will
be grinding wear that will soon de-
stroy the correct action. AS a gen
eral rule, there should be just enough
play to produce a slight side motion
to the wheel when 1t hangs free.

Keep Water Off Motor.

When washing a car, care should be
taken not to splash water on the mo-
tor. A little carelessness in this rian-
ner will cause a great deal of trouble.
A little water in the carburetor and
magnetic means considerable difficulty
and delay in getting the motor to run
properly. Persons exercising care
usually have canvas, which they

Hinged Sliding Doors, Opening Inside.

factory where there is plenty of room
in the yard and economy of space is
not an important item. Where space
is limited, however, the post is in
convenient, and in any event it de-
tracts from the neat appearance of the
building and surroundings.
To overcome this difficulty a type of
sliding doors to open inside has been
devised. A hanger has been designed
to carry such door, which is hinged
in three sections and runs on a con-
tinuous track, curved at the corner
This track extends along the door
opening, and for an equal distance
along the adjacent side, but the door,
being jointed, consumes very little
space in turning the corner. 1t lies
against the side of the building, out of
the way, when open. Two sections of
this door are supported by three swiv-
eled hangers. The third section swings
freely, like an ordinary hinged door.
This affords small doorway for pass
ing in and out, and makes it unneces-
sary to open the whole door each time,
or to provide special door for that
purpose.

Carbon in Cylinders.

Carbon is formed in the cylinders of
automobiles due to the residue which
is left from burning gas and lubricat-
ing oil. The hard deposit is formed
from lubricating oil. Do not keep too
much oil in the crank case and use
heavier oil in old motors Carbon
should either be removed by scraping
or by burning with an oxygen fame.

 We will fight" echoed Capel1e, equally wrought up. "Seagrue is right If we are to be treated in this way we'll parallel your tracksl"
 Rhinelander, Holmes and their as- sociates tried in vain to pacify the two; their efforts were useless. Hard words passed and more threats were uttered; the meeting broke up in disorder.
 Seagrue and Capelle retired to an adjoining room. Helen passed before them down the hall. Capelle glanced at her and looked toward Seagrue. His face stretched into one of his hollow grins.
 Bad business for you, Seagrue," he said to his companion. eff you can't unload your Colorado and Coast hold ings, this thing will put you pretty near out of the game Unload" snorted Seagrue, wrath fully. When that cutoff is announced Colorado stock won't sell for waste paper"
 Helen repassed the hall. Capelle nodded toward her There's your best bet, Seagrue Holmes would give his son-in-law anything" Seagrue looked glum. He hinted he had already tried that out, and fruit, lessly, but spurred by his friends sug- gestion he determined on further ef- fort. After luncheon he attempted to renew his addresses. But there seemed about the self willed girl certain barrier of inde- pendence, which, try as he would, he | could never penetrate. Whats the matter, Helen?" he demanded at last You seem to take everything l say as a joke"
 She repressed a little bubble of laughter. That's the spirit it's meant in, isn't it?"
 He was too irritated to be patient Toward evening he assayed to be se- rious again; again she lightly evaded his advances.
 Late in the day, when walking past the doors of the library, he saw Holmes, finishing conference with Rhinelander, once more roll up an i'm portant document and place it within his safe, set inside the library wall Seagrue knew too well what it was the survey of the cutoff, the building | of which, by crippling him financially, was likely to wreck his hopes of a | career.
 It was in this sullen mood that Ca belle, few moments later, encoun. tered him. They had been partners in more than one interruptions enter. prise and had learned to set value on 1 audaeity. A guarded discussion fol. lowed. Seagrue moodily rejected one I after another of the suggestions of the resourceful Capelle, until one star.
