motion or sudden jar of the wheel.
Every other sweater one sees is of
Shetland wool and is shrimp pink in
color. The reason is that it launders
splendidly, does not fade and is just

had in popular stripe com binations and
in the -fadable yellow.
Among the smart new coats Is one in

tons. When it is down it lays fiat on
the shoulders. The coat is lined with
soft violet silk and is buttoned with
large pearl buttons.
Flannel robes made of two-faced ma
terfals--drab or tan on one side and
plaid on the other-are good for tour
ing use. On the plaid side the plain
colored material is turned and stitched
to form a trimming. These robes are
lish and Irish robes and are quite as
warm.

Henry Ford Announces Purpose to
Manufacture Automobile Parts.

DETROIT. Mich, June 24.-Henry
Ford, the automobile manufacturer. an
nounced today that he is to erect an
eight million dollar plant to manufac-
ture automobile parts. The plant, which
will have it's own blast furnaces, will
be in River Rouge, a suburb on the
Detroit river.
Mr.. Ford denounced a published re-
port that employees of the Ford Motor
Company who join the National Guard
will not be given their Jobs back when
they return to Detroit He said only
thirty-seven of his employees belong to
the state troops and that when they
come back it certainly will be without

GIVES THE REQUIREMENTS
FOR BUILDING A CULVERT
American Highway Official Tells OF
Fundamental Needs in Phase OF
Road Construction.

In speaking of building culverts IN
connection with the construction Oh
modern highways, an official OF the
American Highway Association said
few days ago that there are three fun
damental requirements which a road
builder should follow in constructing a
culvert. They were explained by him
as follows:
The first requirement is that the cul-
vert must be SO placed that 1t Will
drain across the road, and under the
road, of course, all the water that is
delivered to 1t by the side ditch along
the road. If this be not done. the earth
along the road and about the end Of the
culvert will be wet and soggy the most
of the year, and the culvert opening
will require almost constant repairs.
Repairing a highway culvert is rela-
lively more extensive than similar
work in a town because of the waste of
time of the workmen in going to and
from the point at which the work must
be done. In placing the culvert, care
must also be taken that 1t will not be
choked by brush and leaves, and this
duty must be discharged by the road
supervisor, and will be, IL he Is worth
his salt.

AUTO OWNERS ADVISED
T0cHANCE MOTOR OIL
The Haynes Pioneer Tells of Injury
Worked to Lubricants by
Gasoline.

las long as the present conditions
hold in the gasoline market. automobile
owners should remove the oil from
every five hundred to one thousand
miles, is the substance of a short ar
ticle in this months issue of the
Haynes Pioneer, the monthly publica
ton of the Haynes Automobile Com
pany.
1T is a fact to be counted on the
article cautions, that gasoline sold
today for motor fuel will inevitably
get into the oil supply, and the result
ant mixture is of low viscosity with
poor lubricating properties. The I'M
volatilized gasoline which is sucked
into the cylinders on starting a cool
motor Is the most common cause by
which motor lubricants are diluted DE-
low the point of effectiveness.
Continuing, the article says:
Works Into Reservoir.
The raw gasoline gradually cuts the
lubricating oil and works past the
pistons and piston rings down into the
oil reservoir at the base of the motor
The oil, thinned by gasoline, is un-
able to form a viscous film on friction
surfaces which the oiling system
reaches. The greatest danger from d.
lutte oil and incidentally the motor IN
jury that is the most serious in It's Ell
fects, is scoring the cylinders ana pls
tons. although the consequences OF tnis
injury have lately been lesseneo pS
the installation of aluminium pistons:
TT is common knowledge that tne
conditions of gasoline in filling stations
are far from ideal, not only IN the
point of price, but in respect TO quality.
The bulk of the fuel that motorists
buy is made from high test stock mixed
WI. lower and heavier Hydrocarbons
The combination of quality and inier-
Tor stocks does not vaporize completely

in the reservoir at regular PERIODS anu
carefully watched for the amount OF
gasoline that mikes with it, the 2otof

Ends Must Be Protected.

The second and very important re-
quirement in the building of a culvert
is that its ends must be protected by
some kind of wall or facing carried
down to a firm foundation. If this be
done, it will be found that the end of
the culvert will not be undercut by the
water, and will not be broken. frost will
not injure it. the surrounding or super
incumbent earth will not slide down
into the ditch in front of the opening,
and. with the further necessary work
of keeping the feeding bitches clear,
the culvert will be able to take care of
all the water alongside the road.
The third requirement Is that the
culvert must be made so strong that it
will not become broken and so tight
that it will not leak. These ends can
be reached by building the culVert OF
masonry, concrete, or of good piping.
The material to be used must be de-
termined by the relative cost OF the
several materials at the locality where
the culvert is to be built and by the
distance from the top Of the culvert to
the surface of the road.
All technical features of culvert build
ing are explained in pamphlets print
ed for the use of road supervisors by
the highway departments Of most states
and by the United States office Of public
roads and rural engineering at Wash
ington. These pamphlets can be OBJ
aimed free of cost upon application, SO
that it is possible for all road super
visors to be their own culvert builders
by following instructions. After all.
the road supervisor is most important
factor in this work. II he. looks after
his culverts well. he ought to be re-
tanned in Office; II he does not. the soon :
er he can be replaced by one who will do
so the better for the public that uses
the roads, and particularly for the tax
payers who pay for them.

OLD HOME WEEK
Community Chautauqua the
Principal Feature with an
Old Home Day Program

No effort is being spared to make
Old Home Week a notable event.
The people are enthusiastic in max
ing it a success and a most enjoyable
season for all old home visitors. The
latch string will be out in all Island
Pond homes and a cordial welcome
given to all who come back to the
old homes to renew friendship and
join in the weeks festivities.
All who can should purchase season
tickets for on this sale the committee
have to base the fund guaranteed
for the Chautauqua entertainments.
The single admissions, except the
first $50, goes to the Chautauqua
and does not aid the local committee
in raising this sum.
Following is the program for the
week.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-08-11

Mexican city just across the Rio
Grande, is closely guarded. No acts
Of violence have been committed in
this section by bandits, yet owing to
the concentration of Carranza troops
in Piedras Negras, Eagle Pass is one
of the most closely guarded points
along the border.
The Vermont troops had been in
Eagle Pass two weeks when Col.
Reeves was ordered to prepare to
relieve regulars on outpost duty
down the river. In leaving our
camp we were leaving many of the
little comforts which had been pro-
vided for us by the company funds
raised by the friends back in Yer
mont, such as shower baths, electric
lights, etc., yet when we learned
that the 1st Vt. was the first Nation
al Guard regiment to relieve regulars
on outpost duty, and that this honor
was conferred upon us because we
were considered the most efficient
militia regiment on the border, there
was not a man who was. not glad to
go. The first battalion consisting
of companies A, B, c, and D, was
the first to move. Co. c, the COM
pany to which | belong, struck tents
and loaded its auto trucks in exactly
two hours. Each company was
divided into garrisons for two or
more ranches, Co. C being divided
between Indio Ranch and Windmill
Ranch. We have about thirty men
at each of these posts and a few
recruits which are left at Camp
Shafter.
Indio Ranch where | am stationed,
contains 100000 acres, or to make
it's area more striking it is nearly
one-fourth as large as the state of
Vermont. 1t has a frontage Of
forty-fve miles on the Rio Grande
and the river is about one mile dis
tant from our camp. One thousand
acres are under cultivation, most of
it being in Kaffir corn, which is used
to fill sixteen concrete silOs, each
holding about five hundred tons.
I'hesa si.Js, I am told cost one thous-
and dollars each. Eighteen thousand
head Of cattle, eleven hundred mules
and five hundred horses are kept on
the ranch. The ranch is owned by
the Indio Ranch Corporation which
is made up Of three Jews, one living
in San Antonio, one in st. Louis, and
one in New York, and its appraised
valuation is three million dollars.
In closing I would say that the
boys are very comfortable and are in
good spirits. Our work consists of
twenty-four hours guard and forty
eight hours off. Every letter that
we get from home is a bright spot
in our lives which helps US forget
our little troubles, such as bad
water, mosquitoes, snakes, horned
toads, centipedes, and other creep
ing and crawling reptiles too numer-
Gus to mention, besides, last but not
least, the heat which keeps the
thermometer between HOO and 1900
in the shade.
would like to hear from all of
my friends in Island Pond, and
though | may not be able to answer
all of them, their letters will be
greatly appreciated. We all hope
to be back in time for college next
fall but the chances are that 1917
will still see us on Texas soil if not
in Mexico.
Yours truly,
Corporal John T. r. Andrews,
Co. G, 1st Vt. Infantry,
Eagle Pass, Texas.
In camp at Indio Ranch.
