1t now develops, according to
the report of our school directors
Thursday evening. that So. 9S4. 55
registered warrants is not the
maximum amount Of warrant in
debtedness but probably about a
medium. as Mr.. Newcomb stated
that it had been as high as $5, 600
some years. Six per cent inter-
est on $1,000 is $500. Six per
cent interest on $1,000 is $3.50.
Striking an average of 81, 900
per year. in ten years this dis
trict will have paid out 81. 400
interest on dead horse" Say
Mr.. Taxpayer, is this good busi-
ness? Is this the way you run
your own business? You i'm
mediately say no. And yet the
school board informs US that is
is YOU who are responsible. 1t
is because you object to having
the special levy raised half a
mill, or such a matter that this
great interest expense has been
accruing from year to year. Are
you guilty-You will be given a
chance to be heard on this mat
ter at a meeting soon to be call
ed, by the Board President. 1t
will be your duty and your priv
ilege then to come out and say
whether YOU wish to continue in
the money borrowing business
in running your schools OF
whether you will get on the
right side of the ledger. The
claim is made that it is the tax
payer who has no children wht
is keeping this district back
Even so, he can readily see thai
there is nothing in this bushes:
of paying out S240 TO $500 pei
year interest. Everyone is a
greed that this is not business
so why not stop it?

about its development and final per-

three years
These tests were conducted on the
public roads IN the vicinity Of the fac
tory. and were most thorough and inter-
esting For example during the testing
period all the busses owned by the
Brunswick Motor company were
equipped with these new castings. These
vehicles cover 192 miles daily, not only
over the fine mecadam roads between
New Brunswick. Metuchen and Plain

DETROITER FINDS
SOME EXCITEMENT

T A Stewart says that his home town
is Detroit. He visited Fl PasO this
week for the first time and bumped
into some real excitement on Friday
afternoon. Stewart is mechanical
inspector on the Maxwell staff and
when he arrived here he discovered
that the Buquor Motor company had
painted Up q Maxwell touring car
which is TO be delivered TO a news
paperman at Casas Grandes next week
The Detroiter decided that he could
give the FL Pasoans a few pointers OF
publicity so grabbed his kodak and.
saying nOJling of his plans. jOurneyed
to JuareZ. Now anything that smacks
Of the punitive expedition into Mexico
is hardly popular in JuareZ and
Stewart soon found IL out He decided
that pictures were unnecessary and
while he couldn't speak Spanish he
found no difficulty in ascertaining
that his presence was highly undesir-
able in the Mexican city. He broke
even Rickenbacher's time in getting
back TO this side and is now quite
content TO let the FL PasO agents hunt
their own publicity.

What's to be the limit in the number
of automobile cylinders? Less than two

The Increase has stopped now with

on technical knowledge OF internal

MULTIPLE-CYLINDER CARS
ARE IN BIG DEMAND

Cars with V-type motors now have
a big lead in this years race for sales. -
said George ". Dickson. managing
director OF the factory building Ma
tiOnal 12-cyIinder cars. "Of all the
large and better grade cars sold this
year more than 20 percent are OF the
multiple cylinder type. Although this
statement is very conclusive il does
not detract from the successful opera

priced cars It does mean. however
that among the larger and better
grade cars the V-type Of motor now
dominates.

USE AUTO TO REGULATE
HEIGHT OF A BALLOON

A most unusual use for an automobile
was found by the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company last week. The Occa-
sion was the final test Of a perfected
type OF kite" or captive" balloon
which Goodyear has been building. Kite
balloons OF this type have been devel-
oped by foreign governments for use in
making military Observa tons, and are
being used extensively by all the bel
ligerents in the present war. The
name. kite" balloon. refers to the
method OF rigging which is similar to
that or a boys kite. The balloon is
let up into the air at the end Of 8 wire
cable and held up at any height de-
sired
In the Goodyear test last week. this
wire cable was passed over a drum and
power transmitted to the drum from the
rear wheel OF the automobile. allowing
the balloon to be raised and lowered as
desired.
These "air sentinels' are used pri-
marily for spotting artillery fire and
for general observation They have
been called the eyes OF the army and
navy Their general purpose is TO keep
q watch on the whole fighting front
