Quotation From the Article.

The article is, in part. as follows:
Year after year and year after year
had the War Department vainly urged
the necessity for accumulating a re-
serve stock for just such a contingency
but Congress always turned a deaf ear
and the people acquiesced.
Again the war clouds are rolling
over us: Congress has authorized and
The War Department is as rapidly as
possible increasing the strength of the
permanent force to approximately
100000. For this number, double what
we have heretofore had. the material
now on hand is adequate, but not
enough for any more.
That we have this much, and we are
now writing of the sanitary depart
ment, is only through insistence of its
officers and the backing of the medical
profession; notwithstanding the Dodge
commission recommended that there be
always available q years supply for
an army of at least four times the
actual strength, of all such medicines.

NUMBERS OF COUNTRY ROADS
gests That City Plan Be Used
Capital Central Point.

Numbering of country roads and
residences so that every road and
country home may be instantly To-
Gated, is advocated by the service bull
letin Of the Iowa state highway com
mission, which is just off the press.
The system advocated was originally
suggested last June.
In the system suggested the section
upon which the state capitol is located
is considered the central point and all
roads are numbered north, east, south
and west from this. Using the base
map appearing in the bulletin, one
can easily locate the number of his
road and house.
The system is so arranged that
practically every road bears the same
designation across the state. The
numbering system does not in any
way interfere with the use of the
names of organized tourist routes
such as Lincoln highway and others

RULES FOR DRAGGING ROADS
Dry Highway Should Never Be

essary-Drag Towards Center

(By Il. B. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins.)
Use light drag.
Haul il over the road at an angle
so that small amount of earth is
pushed to the center of the road.
Drive the team 1t walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re-

Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such condition as to stick

Do not drag dry road.

Substitute for Gasoline.

Occasionally we note in the press
an item to the effect that some one
has discovered a substitute for gaso-
line, which of course makes the heart
of the autoist glad, but after the
first announcement of the fact, we
generally hear no more OF it, and the
inference is that the article, If con-
tanning any value at all, has been
grabbed up by the producers OF gas
oline and the public at large has
been denied the privilege of getting a
cheaper article. Now comes a new
substitute, which has been tried out
and found successful and is describ-
ed as follows in a New York di-
patch:
'Nuoline," new substitute for
gasoline, which really seems on the
surface to be a real substitute was
tested out at the West Side Y. NJ. C.
A. Automobile School, 318 West
Fifty-sevsnth street. with the heads
of the Atkinson and Strobridge
schools as observers.
NJ. Louis Clements, the inventor,
supervised the test, with the help of
his associate. Robert Grogan. as as
sistant In the Secretary of States
local automobile Office A King Eight
engine used for shop instruction was
first used. The gas was disconnected
and the vacuum Tank drained and
then filled with Nuoline. Principal
II. c. Brokaw pushed the starter but
ton and the engine started on the
first turn. To all appearances the
new fuel did its work perfectly. The
engine ran much smoother than with
gasoline, and when the petcocks were
opened the explosion was found to
be quite IS snappy as from gasoline,
while the flame was blue, instead of
reddish, showing a more perfect COM
bustion. 1t is claimed that there is
no carbon formed by Nuoline, and
that 1t will burn out carbon formed
by the use of gasoline. The engine
ran until the Vacuum Tank was en-
pity and a second trial showed the
same results.
M. Clements explained that the
Nuoline was really three-ffths wat
er and that the other ingredients
were so cheap and so unlimited in
supply that the cost would be prac.
tcally stationary. He thought per.
haps, II the price of coal keeps going
skyward, It might make a cent OIL
two difference in the price but with
a manufacturing cost of 25 cents g
gallon, not including overhead charg
es, 1t will be possible to sell the Nuo
line at 10 cents gallon and leave g
fair margin of profit.

cent of the value OF the timber and
forage resources of the national for
ests within the respective county or
counties In which the roads or trails
will be constructed may be spent.
Provision is made for the return of
the money to the treasury by applying
10 per cent of the annual receipts of
the national forests in the state or
county until the amount advanced is
covered.
Officers In charge say that the bill
will make possible the construction of
many roads which are greatly needed.
Since 1913 10 per cent of the receipts
from the national forests have been
used in road and trail building, but the
funds have been inadequate to meet
the needs. Many isolated communities
within the national forests are entire
ly dependent on the government roads
and trails. In some instances these
settlements are said to be almost en-
tirely without means Of communica-
hon. According to forest service Of
Gals the money now made available
Will permit the construction of many
roads necessary to open up inacces-
sible territory, and will greatly facili-
tate the development of large areas.
1t is said that detailed plans COW
ering the policy to be followed In
building roads are now being made.

than the width of singlewheel track.
then gradually increase until desired
width is obtained
Always drag little earth towards
the center of the road until it is raised
from 10 to II inches above the edges
OF the travelled way.
If the drag cuts too much, shorten
the hitch.
The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very cOnsid-
erably controlled by the driver, ac-
cording as he stands near the cutting
end or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, if possible, to one side
until the roadway has d chance TO
freeze partially or dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated applica-
ton.
Remember that constant attention
is necessary to maintain an earth road
