TO TUNNEL ENGLISH CHANNEL

There does not seem to be any doubt
that the construction OF a tunnel under
the English Channel will be undertaken
with very little delay. The latest infor-
nation on this great project was printed
as a special cable dispatch in the Herald
Of yesterday to the effect that the French
railway company has taken the position
that the absolute need Of the tunnel has
been shown from every point OF view. as
1t has been disclosed that the tunnel
would have paid for itself in the last two
years in the transport of army stores
alone.
Mr.. Arthur Fell. NJ. p. who has long
been an advocate of the under Channel
tunnel, shows that the estimated cost Is
$50 900. and this sum could have been
saved in sending supplies by that means
instead Of transporting by water. neces-
sitnting packing and loading, unpacking
and unloading and repacking and reload
ing again in forwarding to the bases.
The argument admits OF no controversy
any longer and the arrival of proper con-
ditions will mark the beginning of this
enterprise, with Great Britain and
France bearing an equal share OF the
cost-New York Herald.

COOLED OIL LATEST;
HARBOUR STARTS IT
Lubricant Lasts Longer and Works
with Greater Efficiency.

When Lieut. crosman and the famous
Guyot brought to the Indianapolis 500
mile race Of 1914. one Of the Sunbeam
cars which had recently established q
complete set OF worlds records on the
Brooklands track. they showed Ameri-
can engineers many points Of design then
absolutiys new.
One OF these points was a cooling de-
vice through which ran all the Oh on
its circuit Of the motor.
Ray Harroun. then designer ana re-
tired from racing. was quick TO appre-
ciate the fact that. in the crude Sun
beam device. there was embodied q
genuine efiiciency idea. as applicable to
touring as TO racing cars.
Harroun improved the cooler. expert
mented with IL, and installed " In his
own car. which the Harroun Motors Cor
poration is soon TO produce from its
plants at Wayne. near Detroit.
The Harroun cooler Is Of aluminium and
has an inconspicuous poSitis-l on the
left side of the crank case II Is insulat-
ed from the motor itself by a thick
layer of fabric. Taking the oil at the
point Of its circuit where II Is hottest
the cooler lowers the OIL temperature %
remarkable degree and II starts It's
course over the bearing again. with re-
neETed viscosity.
Tests have shown that the cooling adds
greatly to the life Of the oil and, at the
same time. Increases the endurapce OF
the cars bearings which heat. far more
than friction. tends 70 destroy. Har-
roun's veritable passion for efficiency Is
well known to other automobile engineers.

AUTOMOBILES TO PLAY
IMPORTANT WAR PART
Dodge Brothers Car Already in Line
with Other Makes.

United States entrance In the Euro
pean war has given a new phase to the
discussion among army officers OF the
part played by American-made motor
cars In the struggle being waged in
Northern France.
1t Is weil-known fact that the huge
armies on both fronts are almost entirely
dependent upon motor trucks for their
supplies of food and ammunition. A
large number OF these trucks were manu-
factured In the United States.
According to the most recent available
information, the government has approxi-
mately 200 heavy duty trucks ready for
service. A majority of these were used
ON the Mexican border last fall
Freight had to be carried by truck
trains from Columbus. N. Mex, to Nami-
quipa, 2s4 miles south Of the border. And
IN order that the officers In command Of
pany them. approximately 800 Dodge
Brothers cars carried them back and
forth over what Is known as "the worst
road In the world"
How the Dodge Brothers motor car
withstood the test and enabled the army
to keep on the jump Is. indicated In a
typical experience OF Edward Ruoff, of
Grand Rapids. Mich.
Mr.. Ruoff drove a Dodge Brothers car
for Gems. Kirk and covill. In three days
less than eight months the car covered
1854 miles-more' than the average car
travels in two years service. During the
entire period the gasoline consumption
averaged between Is and II miles per gall
lon, while the repairs amounted to H.sS.

Stop that Knock.

II your engine starts knocking while
you are out on the road do not at once
imagine that your cylinders are filling
up with carbon, or that the main bear
ings are worn loose. The knock may be
from a totally different source. In fact.
there are so many different kinds Of
knocks that even an expert cannot tell
always just where II comes from with
out totally disassembling the engine.
Even then 1t sometimes puzzles him a
lot by its elusiveness.
Most engines have a knock of some
sort which annoys the driver, which
might vary from a barely perceptible
click to a blow that may be heard by
persons standing on the sidewalk. A
great many of the knocks do not do
any harm; that Is, they are not causing
any damage to the engine parts; but
there are some knocks which require inn
mediate attention 70 prevent the demoli-
ton of the engine or serious damaging of
1t. Som of these are loose connecting
rod bearing; cylinder loose on its base:
lack of fabrication and consequent over
heating; and a broken revolving or re-
clprocating member, which might tear
things up II allowed to run. The spark
advanced too far puts an excessive
strain on tho crank shaft and a short
circuit In the ignition system does the
the same.
So many OF the knocks are only q mat
ter Of annoyance; that is, they do no
more harm than to cause the driver un-
necessary nerve Jars and to spoil the
pleasure of riding. But he will bother
the various garage men and everybody
else he can get to listen and then viii
not accept the assurance that the knock
Is not doing any harm.
The following are some causes of
knocking:
MECHANICAL LoOSENESS, DUE TO
IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OR
WEAR.
Loose connecting rod bearing, crank
pin end.
Crank pin bearing out OF round.
Main bearings Of crank shaft loose
Bearings too tight.
Wrist pin loose in piston.
Wrist pin loose In upper end Of con-
Meeting rod.

 ASK INJUNCTION AVERT STRIKE

Philadelphia, March 17.-Bills in equity for an injunction against the heads in Pennsylvania of the four railroad brotherhoods to restrain them from putting into effect the strike order were filed in the feder Il district court here late today by in- dividual members of those organiza- tions. AS none of the judges was in court when the bills were presented, no time was fixed for hearing on the application for a preliminary in junction. fN
 The bills were filed by an engineer. fireman, conductor and trainman, all employees of the Pennsylvania ra.l- road, and all residents of Baltimore. The principal allegation is that the authority given officials of the brotherhood by the strike ballot taken last August terminated last fall when negotiations at Washington resulted in the enactment of the Adamson law and that officials are now without the legal power to call a strike.
