SMALL TRACTOR USED
BY \ TRUCK FARMER

A Kansas truck farmer recently
suggested to a Topeka foundryman
the design of a small lightweight
tractor to take the place of a single
horse in the cultivation of his straw
berry fields, and the result was the
construction of practical and use
full machine. The tractor is described
in the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Taking three light binder wheels. the
Ifoundryman made an iron frame for
them .on which he mounted a sim
gle cylinder gasoline engine of the
heavyfduty type, with a sprocket-
wheeltattachment to the'rear wheels,
la fuel tank, and the necessary eIec-
trical equipment for ignition. A re-
serve fuel supply is carried on the
front end Of the frame and the trac-
tor isksteered and controlled from
saddle seat at the rear. 1t works
satisfactorily, doing several times as
much h a day as a horse could ac-
complish in the field.

CANVAS TREADS PREVENT
TIRES SLIPPING IN MUD

Canvas treads have been patented
recently which enable one to get a
car out of the mud or mire with a
minimum of inconvenience, accord
ing to the Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. Each of these coverings con-
sist of long strip of strong can
vas. provided with numerous grips
in the shape of short pieces of rope
attached to it transversely. When a
car is mired the driver inserts
box, containing a tread, into a holder
attached to the under side of the
running board and, partly withdraw
ing the canvas, ties one end of it to
a spoke of the hind wheel. The
other rear wheel can be similarly
provided for. If desired. Then, by
attempting to spin" the wheels in
the mud, the canvas will be wrapped
about them without further trouble.
and, because of the grips, they will
suddenly acquire traction that even
chains do not give. The canvas also
prevents the tires from being over
heated by slipping.

MAKING AND CURING
TIRES BY \ NEW PROCESS

Automobile tire castings are made
in one continuous mechanical pro-
cess by a method of recent inven-
ton, which includes the weaving OF
the fabric that forms the base of the
tire. impregnating it with rubber in
a special friction calendar, forming
it to the required shape, and vulcan
izing. This method, employed in a
Rhode Island factory. is said to be
the only one that makes the loom
and the calendar parts of a con-
tinuous process. The successive steps
of the operation are described in
the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The time required for the whole
process is about thirty minutes.

NEW FUELS USED IN
SPAIN TO REPLACE COAL

Shortage of coal in Spain has led
to experiments with various substi-
tutes, including the husks of rice and
inferior qualities OF Ignite. In the
provinces that raise rice. the husks
have lately been mixed with tar and
formed into briquettes under hy-
drauic pressure. In their natural
form rice husks make an expensive
fuel. burning with little heat, but the
briquettes are said to ignite readily,
give off little smoke, and can be
used to some extent as a substitute
for coal.-From the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

D. c. MACHINE GUN
BATTALION TO co
OVER THERE INTACT

CAMP MEADE, ADMIRAL. Nd. Oct.
16.-Regiments are being shot to
pieces here today BY the hurry-up or
der to send 6,100 men at once to
Southern national guard camps.
Pennsylvanians are on the way south
and men OF Maryland are packing up
their troubles in their kit bags and
saying good-by.
Definite and emphatic assertions
were made again today that the gen-
eral shake-up, which will hit many
ways. will miss the District OF Co
lumbia men in their 312th machine
gun battalion. Major Zane himself,
and others higher In authority, ex-
pect few changes IN the company
other than those dictated by the per-
sonal fitness OF the men for distinct
lines Of military service with other
units.
Some to Choose Assignment.
No man will, therefore, be drafted
out OF the ranks, but some will get
assignments to service of their own
choice for which their civilian work
small matter, and distinctly personal,
and a bit complimentary.
Major Zane believes that the people
Of Washington can focus their atten-
ton now on this 312th machine gun
organization and follow Il through
the war. II is a long way ahead. but
the boys are keyed up for the jour
ney. Their only anxiety is that re-
organization may break them UP.
They have been assured and reas-
sured that no such general shake-up
as Maryland and Pennsylvania organ
nations are now undergoing is to be
feared.
Blow In Maryland Regiment.
The S13th, = Maryland regiment, al
most distinctly Baltinorean. got q
hard blow today when Colonel swee-
zey was ordered to deliver up to the

Whiskey Drinking
Is Of 20 Per Cent
Since Price Raised

NEW YORK. Oct 16.-Accrding to
q nationwide survey made by New
York newspaper the new war tax Of
$40 q proof gallon on whiskey and
the Governments regulation cutting
Off whiskey distillation has advan-
ced the retail price and lowered the
consumption about 20 per cent.
The belief that whiskey taken from
the bonded warehouses before the
law went into effect would be free
from war tax led to heavy purchases
by dealers and householders through
out the country. and It is pointed out
that this movement has resulted un-
doubtedly in much consumption OF
liquor IN homes and accounts for q
part of the 20 per cent consumption
decrease reported by retailers.

PREDICTS LOAN FAILURE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 15.-If the sec
ond Liberty loan does not succeed, It
will mean higher taxes. said Speaker
Champ CLARK, who is today on his way
to visit his son. Lieut. Col. Bennett
Champ Clark, at Fort Sill, Okla.
"1f the people will not buy the
bonds" said the Speaker, then taxes
must be increased, which is not q
pleasant prospect. One thing Is cock
sure-Congress is going to raise
enough money to carry on this war
Just why the first issue, which bore
a lower rate of interest than this one,
went like hot cakes. while the sale OF
this issue is tagging, is a puzzle"
The Speaker said that the idea of
taxing excess war profits on muni-
tions at 6 to 8 per cent IL growing in IA
