How Long Is Life of Motor Car?

What is the life of a King? Since
the registered stock seven passenger
eight cylinder King made it's recent
record breaking car owners service
test" on the Sheepshead Bay motor
speedway and the highways of Long
Island there has been speculation as
to just what the maximum durability
of King may be. Without motor
stop for 10,S50 miles and no adjust
ment or replacement of any kind, any
answer to this question must be pure
ly academic.
When the engine of the King eight,
which made the remarkable record,
was taken down, at the conclusion of
the trial, no appreciate wear could be
located anywhere. The cylinders
showed no perceptible wear, the bear
ings were perfectly tight, the rear
axle unit was just as good as when it
left the shop.
No one would have dreamed, it is
said, that the mechanism had just
travelled almost 1000 miles with the
engine turning up 1856 r p. m. The
crankshaft has made 27,344,713 revo-
buttons and the wheels had gone
around just 6,434,050 times. The total
piston travel amounted to 1S2,O46,-
DAG, 400 feet, while the ignition system
had supplied 100. 37S,S52 sparks, or
5,424 sparks each minute of the run
The total amount of air consumed by
the engine on the long grind was
2,705, ,529 cubic inches. which is
enough to give every man, woman
and child in these United States sew
eral deep lungsful of ozone While
all this was happening in the mechan-
ism proper, the diaphragm of the Car
ter fuel feed tank made 27.344,713
impulses.
A piece of mechanism that can give
such astonishing service totals as
this, under very trying conditions, It
is maintained might very well go on
Indefinitely. Not one of the parts
showed wear This should be ex-
tremely satisfactory to the manufac-
turers of the vehicle, for it is a me-
chanical axiom that a perfect piece
of machinery would fail in all its
parts at once, like the one horse
chaise On it's showing in the four
teen day trial and its form after that
strenuous flight was finished, the MAX
right to claim that six or eight years
of running would be almost newt
able for the King eight.

GIVE THE BABY A CHANCE.

Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding,
poverty, dirt, ignorance, heat-these
combine in summer to kill the city
baby. 1t seems as though the brunt
of the cities sanitary sins were foe
used on the baby. The baby didn't
ask to come, to live in a hot, dark,
alright tenement, to be fed on dirty,
half spoiled milk, to be pestered with
flies and mosquitoes. He is not re-
sponsible for any of these conditions
and it is his right that he have fresh
air, clean surroundings and decent
food. The United States public

The presentation of this cup has
come to be one of the events of fair
week, and large numbers of State Fair
visitors are as interested in the award
as are the managers of the county

The County exhibit building is ex-
pected to have more than the usual
number of exhibits this year, as the
fair is held late in the season and
more crops will be ready for the fall
showing. Many requests for reserva-
lions in the county building have al
ready been made.

II You Fell OF The Earth.

After you have learned that tho
earth Is spinning through space like q
great top and that we are all living on
the outside Of this top you probably
wonder where we would all 60 II
we fell of. The earth itself has enough
power Of attraction to keep everything
on its surface from falling of.
Now. just imagine that this power Of
attraction stopped altogether. If that
happened and you were indoors your
head would hit the ceiling. If you
were out Of doors you would 60
straight up into the sky for long
time. and gradually you would begin
to move slower and slower and slower.
for the resistance Of the air would re-
tard you. At last you would come to
Z stop, and there you would stay. And
very cold you would find 1t.
If the air did not resist. with the
least little jump you would 60 sailing
of into space That IS the only way
you could fall of the earth, when the
earth's attraction stopped and when
the air did not resist.-Exchange.

UPPER STATION

Valuable Property in the Imme-
date Vicinity Threatened
During Blaze-Sec0nd Alarm
Sounded-Another S eriOu S
Blaze

Lewiston, Me. March 5.-A second
alarm fire destroyed the upper station
of the Maine Central Railroad, known
as the Bates Street station, here Sat-
urday afternoon. causing loss esti-
mated at about $4,000, which is COW
cred by insurance. While various
causes have been assigned as to the
origin of the fire, the most likely is
that advanced by Agent Withee, who
is of the belief that the fire started in
the mems toilet section of the build
ing, from a cigar or cigarette stub. 1t
was in this part Of the structure that
the fire first broke out.
Within 10 minutes after the first
alarm was turned in. the whole build
ing was a mass of flames, while the
strong wind that was blowing carried
burning embers to nearby Vicinities.
The grain elevator of j. V. Ham and
a coal and wood yard owned and OPP
Grated by W. NJ. Woods. were in i'm
mediate danger during the early prog
ress of the fire. and a second alarm
was turned in. In less than an hour
the station was burned fiat to the
ground and flames were eating their
way into the freight shed. The depart
ment however, was able to prevent
any other serious damage.
