Motorcycle Equipment
For Machine Gun Co.

Businessmen of Portland, Ore,
have raised a fund and purchased
twenty motorcycles. fifteen of which
are fitted with sidecars, to equip the
machine gun company of the Third
oregon Infantry.
The campaign to equip a company
with two-wheelers was started by
two members of the company. They
solicited funds for the purchase of
the equipment from businessmen
and houses the city over and met
with marked success. The FIVE solo
machines are to be used for dispatch
carrying and signal corps work, and
will also serve the sergeant in charge
OF range finding, while the sidecar
machines will be used for carving
three members of the company each.
Machine guns will be carried on
one side of the sidecar, and en-
trenching tools on the other. The
guns will be removed from the side
cars for action.
The machine gun company is
made up of Oregon's most famous
track and road racers, and they are
we'll drilled, all of them having been
on the Mexican border last sum-
mer. The company is now doing
patrol duty guarding the railroad d
bridges which span the Columbia
and Willamette rivers and connect
the East with the Pacific coast.

fire a man than to hire him. To re-
fuse to employ a man probably does
him no great harm. but to discharge
him may leave a permanent imprint
on his character. He may regard
himself as having been tried and
found wanting-a failure. 1 would
seldom fire a man for a single mis-
take. Many men are stronger for
having once made a blunder. They
have profited by 1t and are resolved
that nothing like 1t shall ever occur
again. l should much prefer to have
a man make mistakes-as long as he
isn't a repeater-than to make ex.
cuses. "A little excuse Is dangerous
thing. 1t Is a habit that grows on
one. A man gets to depend on ex-
cuses for careless work instead of
striving to do the work properly. rns
fellow who never has an excuse,
even for poor work. shows that he is
trying his best to do it right and has
at least clear conscience.

Fisk Rubbr Co. Buys
Gibney Tire Interests

On July 8, the Fisk Rubber Com
pany acquired by purchase the plant
of the Gibney Tire and Rubber Com
pany at Conshohocken, Pa, where it
will continue the manufacture of
solid tires on larger scale than has
ever been purchased by the Gibney
concern, a triple or even quadruple
production being promised to con-
sumers and trade.
BY the purchase, users and the
trade generally are assured that Glib
ney tires will continue to be avail
able, and in increased quantities.
For some time Gibney affairs had
been clouded so that a creditors
committee was named. 1t was to
this committee that the Fisk COM
pany made its offer, through its
president, H. 7. Dunn, about two
months ago. basing its price on mar
ket valuations.
The, product of the Pennsylvania
plant will hereafter be known as
the "Gibney tire made by the Fisk
Rubber Company, Chicopee Falls,
Mass"
Fortunately, the Gibney service
stations in a number of cities, in
cluding Philadelphia and New York
city, do not conflict with the Fisk
system, and they will be retained
practically intact, as will the Glib
ney organization, save for James G.
and John Gibney. who have resigned.
The increased output, however, will
be marketed not only by the Gibney
system, but by the more than 1870
sales branches of the Fisk company,
thus placing the latter strongly to
the fore in solid tires. ..'
The big solid tire unit being or
ganized at Chicopee Falls is designed
to have an output of 1000 solid tires
a day, making it one of the largest
solid tire departments in the coun-
try. 1t is to be in operation as soon
as possible. ,.t

great future value in the manufacture
or fertilizer.
But when Germany began it's
march through Belgium and the great
er part OF the civilized world began
making ready to wage war on a scale
hitherto unheard OF. the munitions
workers of England. France and the
United States suddenly realized the
war would be fought to a finish with
explosives of which nitrates are an
important constituent. They turned
their eyes and ships toward Chile.
And since that time the amount anG
value OF Chilean nitrate exports have
risen meteorically. As a result Chile
is enjoying state of prosperity un-
like anything in its history
This condition, according to Senior
carlos Puelma Besa. head of the
mouse OF Besa and Company, dealers
in Dodge Brothers motor cars at VAL
paraiso. Chile. will be responsible for
a large increase in almost every line
CT business. He is particularly opti-
mistic about the automobile situa-
ton, and while in Detroit few days
ago arranged for q much larger num-
Der of cars than had been shipped to
MS frm in any previous year.
The increase in motor car business
already has resulted in the formation
OF several automobile clubs. eight OF
which have had quarters in Santiago.
the capital and three in Valparaiso,
the leading seaport. The Automobile
Club of Valparaiso was organized only
two months before Senior Besa left
Tor the United States and in that time
the rames of more than three hundred
members have been written upon the
rolls
The initiation fee for this club is
zoo pesos, peso being equal to 36ls
cents. The dues amount to 10 pesos
per month. Profiting by Americas
example of the economic value of good
roads, the Valparaiso organization is
already striving for systematic fed
eral aid in building and maintaining
surfaced roads. Their efforts. in this
direction have been somewhat sim
plihed by the existence of a law which
compels the national government to
double any gift for good roads-for
example. If some public spirited citi-
zen offers 100000 pesos for the con-
struction of rd-surfaced roads, an
additional 100000 pesos is automat-
ically available for the same purpose
from the national government
Numerous difficulties presented
themselves to automobile dealers
when they began business in Chile.
For instance, gasoline sells for 60 u
cents gallon in the larger cities and
more in the less accessible places,
while lubricating oils are correspond
ingly high.
SO unaccustomed was the average
Chilean to the use of machinery that,
when motor cars We're first imported
chauffeurs were employed to operate
them. These chauffeurs received sala-
ries ranging from 200 to 800 pesos a
month. Dodge Brothers touring car
with a uniformed driver and occupied
by but single passenger was no un-
common sight on the streets of VAL
paraiso or Santiago.
More recently, however a grear
majority of the young Chilean men
have learned to drive their cars anG
chauffeurs are becoming comparative
rarities, being restricted to wealth.

PRESERVING - CANNING - DRYING

acter OF the fruit is such that less
sugar is required. the eastern formula
may be used.
olFups OF the approximate densities
desired may be made easily without
regard TO the table of sirup densi,.
which will be given later. and with
out the use of an instrument for de-.
termining density if the following
points are kept in mind:
Thin sirup is sugar and water
ool4eo suthciently to dissolve all of
the sugar, but is not sticky. Such
slrup has density of from IL to 20
per cent.
Medium thin sirup is that which
has became sticky when cooled on
the fingertip or spoon. Density of
from 20 to 40 per cent.
Medium thick sugar is that which
has thickened enough to roll or nile
up over the edge of the spoon when
II is poured out. Density of from
40 to so per cent.
Thick sirup is that which has be-
come so thick that it is difficult to
pour out or spoon or container. but
is not sugared. Density from so to 81
per cent.
Thin sirups are used for all sweet
fruits such as cherries. peaches. ap-
pies etc., that are not too delicate in
texture and color. Medium thin sirups
are used in canning medium sweet
fruits, such as blackberries, currants
dewberries, huckleberries. raspber-
ries. etc. Medium thick sirups are
used in canning all sour fruits, such
as gooseberries. apricots. sour apples
etc, and delicately colored fruits such
as strawberries and red raspberries.
Thick sirup is used in preserving and
making all kinds of sun-cooked pre-
serve ]. D. K.

Seasoning

In seasoning foods it should be kept
in mind that most vegetables as well
as meats are injured in flavor ana
quality by an excessive use OF salt
FOR seasoning in the canning process.
a little salt is very palatable and its
use should be encouraged. but il is
better to add no salt in canning than
to use too much. Salt can be added
to suit the taste when canned goods
are served.
