GOOD ROADS SAVE
DOLLAR PER TON
Improved Highways Cut the
Cost of Hauling from 20
Cents Per Mile to II.

It is often difficult to make farmers
believe that good roads are OF finan-
cial value 10 them.
They agree readily that good roads
are desirable as a means OF making
rural life less narrow. They agree
that good roads make 1t easier for
children to 90 to school. for the doctor
TO reach the farm. and for all hands
TO meet for religious and social pur-
poses. But many Of them claim that
il is mere theory to claim any direct
financial results from road improve
ments.
Now theory II true. is Just as help
ful as are facts. and in this case il is
easy TO show how facts support theory.
The facts can be obtained with the
help Of officials Of the railways ship
ping farm products out Of a district
before its roads were improved and
after the Improvement
\ specific case in Virginia may be
taken as an illustration. The figures
were collected by George P Coleman
the roads in one of the counties OF
that state had been improved. the larg-
est amount of farm and forest prod
ucts shipped out of the county in anv
amount of dairy products shipped was
$4,000 pounds During that year 40
miles OF road were improved at an c0-
pense Of 100000.
In 1911. two years after the i'm
provement, $4,000 tons of farm and
forest products and 275,00" pounds of
dairy products were shipped
The increase was As and 40 per cent
respectively in these two classes of
products The increase in wheat ship
ments was SO per cent. in tobacco 81
per cent, and in lumber and other farm
products IS per cent over the best
records made before the roads were
improved
This is by no means all Of the di-
rect result OF having good roads for
marketing. Careful studies Of traffic
in the county were made by commits
sioner Coleman for two years. which
showed that 1t cost at least % cents
to haul a ton a mile on unimproved
roads and u cents a ton a mile on i'm
proved roads
The records showed that the aver
age haul of s.. 600 tons OF products was
eight miles Consequently the i'm
provement OF the roads over which the
hauling was done saved the farmers

products.

GASOLINE CAUSE
Of MANY FIRES
Extreme Care Should Be
Used in Handling the
Automobile Fuel.

Since the development OF the motor
car the number of fires due to gaso-
line has enormously increased Today
gasoline is reckoned as one of the pri-
mary causes Of conflagration-
one Of the peculiarities Of gasoline
that is little known to the general
public is that it viii not burn or ex-
plode. The explosion so often referred
to is due to gasoline vapor- And gaso-
line vapor is one Of the most deadly
explosives known. Is is as powerful
as gunpowder and far more likely
TO be set off
An explosion Of a mixture of 10 per
cent of gasoline vapor win alE ma
been known to wreck a small house
completely. The sides OF the mouse
were blown out, the root collapsed
the wreckage was set on 1ire ana lhe
whole thing destroyed
Gasoline vapor Is heavier tnan ar
and fallin.~ to the floor follows the
course of the draught- II this draugnt
carries il to q FIRE which It IS very
likely to do. the flame snoets oace
like a train OF gunpOwder 10 the source
of supply. and either ignites the gaso-
line vapor or causes an explosion.
In spite Of these thing househOlders
use gasoline as II IT was so much va
ter 1t is used for so many h0uGe-
hold uurposes-an the way from clean
ing gloves to killing vermin-that in
timaCy has bred contempt But soon
er or later the careless user OF gaso-
line comes to grief. and II he Is not
killed, he stands a good show Of losing
his possessions
Gasoline should never be used II q
room where there is a fire It should
never be used at night. and never IN
the house IL il is possible TO go OUT
Of doors
In cleaning silk great care should be
taken The tendency OF silk TO gen
crate static electricity is well known
and when il is rubbed violently this
is increased. The discharge Of this
electricity may take the form OF an in
visible spark. but that spark is hot
enough to ignite the gasoline vapOr-
There is no excuse for keeping gaso-
line in the house in anything except
one OF the modern safety cans These
cans are so ingenlOuSly conJriVed that
il is impossible for a spark 10 enter
the can. The mouth Of the can is pro-
tected by fine mesh screen, which. on
the principle of the miners lamp pre-
vents the entrance OF fire
Under no circumstances should gaso-
line be stored in the house. II IL is
necessary TO keep on hand a gallon
OF more. IL should be placed as Ia
from the house as possible Where II
is stored in larger quantities it should
be contained in an underground tank
and raised by a pump The further
away from the house that tank Is kept
the better.
These rules. which apply TO the use OF
gasoline should also be followed IN
handling kerosene. benzine and the
other highly volatile oils.
It is not so many years ago that the
starting OF a fire in the stove with
kerosene oil was one of the standard
jokes Of the comic papers. 1t was no
joke, however. TO the person who tried
il once too often
Recent experiments have shown that
static electricity frequently is general
ed BY pouring gasoline into an insulat-
ed metal container. This is the cause
OF many fires in garages. /

Bic CHANGE IN
TYPE Of GEARS
Selective Gears First Came
Into General Use in
1906 Auto.

The essential problem in the develop
ment Of the automobile has been not
so much the production Of power. as

PRODUCED Elwood Haynes ran his
first car without a clutch or trans
mission. and II was necessary to solve
these and other problems Of power
control before the automobile was any
thing like a serviceable piece OF me
chanism.
Elwood Haynes himself furthered
the usefulness of the motor car in the
early days OF the industry by design
ing the first working transmission,
which was OF sliding gear type. In
this the gears for the three speeds
y ere operated by long fingers, actU-

1897. il continued in general use until
II was displaced by the Selective gear
transmission in 1906
The problem Of power transmission
that were no less formidable than
those of the gear box In the first
American automobile. the motor was
suspended on a buggy frame so that
the rear axle was driven by a chain
and sprOcket.
Actual practice brought out several
serious objections TO this arrangement,
and when the plan of suspending the
motor directly on the rear axle was
tried out. beginning in 1896, a direct
gear drive came into use.
The vibration of the motor on the
rear axle proved so Objectionable. how
ever. that the engine was suspended
on the springs with the body The
new arrangement necessitated the chain
drive, used by practically all the motor
car builders, whose combined output in
1900 was soc.
When the motor was placed at the
front Of the chassis in 1903 and 1904.
the shaft drive came into use. and has
since become q permanent fixture on
every modern motor car

ENGLAND STRONG
FOR TRUCKS NOW
Economy and Efficiency of

preston on Business Men.

Motor vehicle transportation Is max
ing stronger and stronger impression
on the business men Of England as the
following from the London Times
shows
1T is barely four years ago since
the prejudice in the industrial world
against the motor vehicle as a carrier
Of goods disappeared Today there is
scarcely a business house Of good stand
ing that does not employ one or more
Of these motors. while smaller traders
who have a horse and van look eagerly
to the time when they. too. viii be able
to adopt mechanical traction
Confidence in motor traction has not
been misplaced. There are firms who
are able TO advertise that their motor
requires no attention whatever beyond
oiiingb for a minimum OF 10000 miles
In fact. owners of commercial Daimlers
have testified TO runs or $4,000. $4,000,
and $4,000 miles without attention. It
seems but a short while 20 that one
was lucky to get 1000 miles on any
motor without having a considerable
amount Of inspection and overhauling
10 perform. 1t Is the same in regard
to tires Many makers guarantee a min
imum of 10000 miles for their COM
mercial motor vehicle tires. and, what is
more. live up TO their word. So that
the business community can now rely
on the regularity Of their motor service
AT the present time the motor car
rier service is more 10 be depended upon
than the railways. Naturally. one does
not look for this exceptional position
Of affairs to continue after the war.
but there can be no denying the relia-
bility Of the motor van Seldom are
delays caused by structural OF mechan-
zeal troubles. and its usefulness is a
part of the earning power OF almost
any sort of business beyond question
Such is the progress during the 20 years
that have elapsed since the motor We
hicle was exempted from the restriction

According to Motor Traction. the
British motor industry is fortunate in
that the government has no factory OF
its own TO produce lorries and cars
Recently. however. circumstances have
arisen which have caused the view to
b taken in official quarters that IL is
desirable TO get out official designs,
and TO arrange for the assembly Of COM
ponent parts OF which have been built
In various factories. in conformity with

cles, and to increase materially the ag-
gregate output Of the British industry

BRISCOE TEST
GIVE MILEAGE
New Model Shows 25.2 Miles
to the Gallon of
Gasoline.

The average test Of an automobile
for gasoline mileage is rather unsat-
isfactory for the reason that the test
is generally made on a good road, with
no stops and at an average speed
which viii get the greatest mileage
from the gasoline
A test Of the new Briscoe pa made
by the automobile editor OF The
Herald, on Monday. was as nearly as
possible under average driving con-
ditions. The little car was driven out
beyond YsIeta until the carburetor was
perfectly dry. Then a gallon of saso-
line was poured into the tank
The car was driven beyond the pave
ment on the SOcorro road and given
five miles Of real, rough road at speeds
varying from five to IS miles per hour
No attempt was made to save gaso-
line as the idea was 10 shove the car
along as fast as the road conditions
would permit
After five miles Of this rough rid
ing. the car was started back for town
In places. it was necessary to pull
through loose sand. while the whole
five miles Of road was very bumpy
and rough. Three stops were made in
Xsleta and. on one occasion, the motor
g.as allowed TO get almost cold. though
the radiator showed no Indications OF
much heat at any time
Returning 10 FL PasO over the
county road. only stop was made but,
inside the city limits. several stops
were necessary. particularly on Texas
street where the traffic was heavy
and where railway switch engines tied
up traffic for short periods The car
was then headed north OF the tracks
and IL was out in Manhattan Heights.
while on a grade, that the supply of

Joy Riders Fines On the
