Texas commission Asks Priority.

: The Texas. state highway compis-
sion has written to Col. X. 5. j.ovtu
M washington the following letter
regarding the recently promulgated
embargo on road materials: THE
state highway commission of Texas
desires to voice its approval ana as
sent to priority order No. 2, DENYING
the use of open freight cars Tor snip
ments OF materials ana supplies Tor
the construction, maintenance or re-
pair of public or private highways,
roadwayn, streets or sidewalks for the
reason that the same, as we regard
it. is conceived in the high and iaud-
able purpose and plan to give prefer
ence to III transportation of food and
fuel over the railways Of this country.
We would be other than patriotic II
we did not regard this order in this
light. now that we wish 1t understood
that we request or petition that the
same rerescinded or modified in any
particular until a changed situation
should demand IL. We, however, re-
spectfully call your attention to the
fact that the construction, maipten-
ance and repair of certain public
roads and highways is In measure
helpful to the railroads In the proper
transportation Of food and fuel and
that in some instances where the rail-
roads do not reach into the very pro-
ductive food and feed fields 1t is nee
essary for the construction. mainten-
ancc and repair of these highways that
the short haul road may become an
aid and adjunct to the railroads; and
that, secondly, there are certain great
TRANSLATE roads that should be COM
pleted as military highways. This
commission has In mind certain por-
TONS of Texas very rich in food pro-
duction, notably East Texas. Where
the wastage in the field is very great
on account of lack OF road facilities.

The Minneapolis section of the So

Tho Minneapolis section Of the So
ciety of Automouve Engineers has
voted approval of holding tractor
demonstrations in 191S.. The vote fol-
lowed long discussion at n recent
reeting. The moNon made no sug-
gestion as to what kind OF demonstra-
tons there should be, but n commit
tee was authorized to formulate n
plan for tractor tests and for obtain
ing engineering data therefrom.
There was an opposition sentiment
In the debate over the main question
OF the meeting expressed by Secre-
tary Fl. q. Burlington, saying: We
rhould go on record to help other men
elong In n private way. l believe pri-
vate tests are tho best. 1t Is our pur-
pose to build up the. industry. not to
tear 1t down."
In opening the discussion A. C.
Bennett and Chairman Russell Greer
told of the faults found with the Win
nipeg ana Fremont tractH demon
sirations. T. c. Menges Of Waterloo,
Iowa, who made and supported tho
motion for tractor demonstrations.
said former demonstrations wero
rather for manufacturers and buyers,
that 1918 tests should be for fuel,
plowing ond other kinds OF farm
work. different types of wheel, equip
ment and tractive efficiency. steering
mechanism and belt work. Each
tractor should have toptinuous To-
hour demonstration.
IF we get together and make tests
the way we want them made they will
be Of benefit 20 US; otherwise they
will be Of little value from an engi-
neering viewpoint" said Mr.. Menges.
I'VE want to know how much fuel a
machine uses, whether the motor
stands up ard the tractor handles
easily and does the work the way we
think 1t ought. One subject is to get
the industry dpwn,to a few designs. It
will help standardize the parts a2d re-
suit in survival of the fittest."
A letter from r. o. Hendriekson of
Racine, Wis, favored something diff
fercnt in demonstrations instead Of
tests OF only two hours and In expert
hands. He suggested penalties for
stops, refilling with oil and water and
Tor adjustments, and awards for
working tests, observers to be pro-
vided by the factories.
Wants Engineering Data
N. Benoni Nelson, sales manager
for the Minneapolis Steel & Machin-
cry Co., said the best way for .engi-
neers to get engineering data is tU
get into automobiles and go out AMI

farmers practical results. Make the
observations over period of year

When twilight drops a purple veil
Der dusky-wood and void
The velvet shadows scintillate
with tiny stars Of gold.
They flash along the winding road
And twingle thru the park,
And glitter in the garden walks
Like jewels In the dark.
They are the souls Of motorists

That flll with fncandescent sheen
The drowsy summer night
Condemned to haunt forevermore
The evening dews and damps.
Because as mortals here on earth
They failed to light their lamps.

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Asphyxiating Shells Fired in Great
Quantities by Both Sides in strug.
giles on British Front.

Andre Tudcsq, writing of the bnttlcs
on the British front, says there was
such IN expenditure of nsphyxiating
shells one day that six hours after the
last deluge Of them sufrocat.ng smells
We're still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas on both
sides form characteristic of the fiji
rious attack and counter.attucks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask is here as precious as the
grenade or the rifle.
AS in q frightful carnival. In the
manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see In the night on the slopes west of
Fresnoy entire regiments in masks
fighting and killing each other in the
midst Of black vapors, which were
rendered more fantastic by the light of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms Throwing
away their arms the combntants would
fly at each others throats and try to
tear away each others masks. Few
prisoners were taken in these cncoun-
ters, and the wounded are fewer still.

Swedish Drill.

these days. One was tall and wiry

Of Swedish drill had set the lesser Of

whispered. I'm simply all out" and
at that moment the drill sergeant in
timated that he would give them an
other spell before they dismissed
This was too much. The podgy pa
triot felt 1t was time to protest.
''I'm really awfully sorry to seem un-
military In addressing you, sir" he
said, "but this Swedish drill is more
than I can face in my present condi-
ton; besides," he added, dolefully, II

Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.

One OF the most striking economic
changes In recent years has been the
loss by Brazil OF its dominant posi-
tion In the rubber trade. Whereas, a

rubber, 1t is now getting the larger
share from the far East The Bra
