thority, It is largely a question OF
economics and convenience
When the demand for gasoline was
small the proportion taken from the
crude oil was also small As the de-
mand increased, new methods Of pro-
duction have increased the proportion
OF gasoline at the expense Of kero
sene. and doubtless still more eff
ficient methods will produce "a salts
factory fuel from a still greater pro-
portion of the crude oil.
II the demand should shift to kero-
sene. the incentive for an improved
method OF manufacture would be re-
moved, and the kerosene would have
to bear a much greater proportion Of
the income to be derived from the
crude oil Hence the low cost of
kerosene is due to its limited use.
Flu thermore, the proper burning Of
kerosene is a function OF the motor
rather than Of the carburetor. To
atomic kerosene is no more diff
cult than to atomize gasoline The
heat required for vaporiZation would
necessarily be greater, and the ca
pacity would. therefore, be much less.
Large motors would have to be pro-
vided for a given power. because OF
the higher temperature at which the
mixture enters the cylinders. Unless
water is used with the kerosene, the
liability for the collection of carbon
on the piston is much greater.
Taken all together, the use OF kero-
sene in automobiles would not be an
unmixed blessing, but the develop
ment OF motors is going on all the
time and it may be possible that some
time in the near future kerosene viii
become a logical fuel. but that does
not seem to be the case at present

.HE motor transport divisiO

~HE motor transport division or
ganized in connection with the
- council Of national defence is
forming tentative motor truck COM
panies for service in the states along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Mem
bers Of these companies viii enlist
in the quartermasters' reserve corps,
and will be needed when the army is
enlisted to full strength and the 40
tor trucks have been constructed for
which the government orders Will
soon be placed.
For an army OF 100000 men from
$4,000 TO 10000 motor trucks will be
needed. a motor truck company has
a personnel OF 50 men and takes care
Of 80 trucks. From 5000 to 10000
men will be required to handle the
motor truck equipment OF an army OF
1000, 600.
The government has Just completed
standards for motor trucks, but bids
have not yet been requested 1t is ex-
pected that the first 1000 OF these
trucks will be ready for delivery in
month after the orders have been
placed The other trucks will come
along even faster thereafter.
The specifications do not differ In
many respects from standard truck
practice, and manufacturers have been
keeping up with government needs as
a result Of the reent border service
and also through the work Of the So
ciety Of Automotive Engineers. so de-
lay in filling orders will be eliminat-
ed. The government has at this time
more than $500 trucks which were
used in Mexican service, and truck
companies to handle them are COM
plete.
After truck companies required for
coast points have been recruited op-
erations will be extended to interior
concentration points. The trucks will
be used TO. supplement railroad SER
vice and viii help out in emergen-
cies.
Because the government is pre-
pared TO buy the trucks needed it
will not be necessary to commanders
any privately owned motor trucks
The government also will be able TO
buy all the motor cars it needs They
will be used to transport machine
guns, aerial guns and troops when
occasion arises
The government will call on own
ers OF trucks to serve only for day

INVENTIONS AID WOMEN
DRIVERS TO MOVE CLUTCH

The builders OF motor cars have at
last come to the rescue Of women
who are so short that they experience
trouble in driving their cars, due to
the fact that hey cannot reach the
clutch or brakes To relieve this
situation. the designers have pat
termed extension pedals which may
be attached to the brakes which en-
able the women to operate the brakes
with perfect case. Cushions Of va
rious sizes and shapes have been
tried as an aid IN such cases, but they
frequently place the driven IN an IN
comfortable and awkward position
which interferes with her ease in
steering the car. The new extension
pedals4eem TO fill this long felt want,
and women who have used them
have found much more pleasure in
driving than they did previously.

The Proper Method
For owing a Car

Some valuable information in
correct towing methods is given
IN MOTOR. the national magazine
of motoring:
Not all OF US have been unfort-
innate enough to await the COM
ing Of some kind hearted driver
or a garageman's towing car, but
it may befal the fortunate ones
some day The average motorist
who does not carry tow line or
a makeshift of some sort may be
injuring himself. for the carrying
of the line does not necessarily
mean that II should be used for
others You may require 1t when
the passing driver has none IN his
tool box All owners should carry
either a specially made tow line
of rope or or cable or sufficient
chain or rope to make an i'm
provised line.
There is right and wrong way
OF connecting the pulling car
with the disabled one. The frame
should be the part to which the
line is attached, and IL always
is best TO pull evenly from both
sides This can be done in the
ideal manner by forming an X
shaped connection between the
cars
This connection IS made OF two
lines running through a ring. The
ends of the lines are attached to
the frame ends OF each car. This
will not only cause even pulling
on the straightaway, but will
facilitate making turns. II you
.sl1uld have to attach the line TO
the front axle. but this is not ad-
vised, attach lines as near TO the
ends as possible.
II it is not possible. owing to
construction, to attach to the
frame OF the towing car, the line
should be applied as near as pos
sible to the axle ends. If only one
short line is at hand, attach II to
one end Of the axle Of the towing
car and to the frame Of the towed
one.

OF B0xMAKERS
Organized By President Hall;
Lumber Town Now Has
Six Locals.

E. G. Hall, president Of the Mime
sofa State Federation of Labor, spent
the early portion of the week in and
about Duluth, and particularly at Clo-
quet, where he organized last Satur-
day evening union of boxmakers to
be affiliated with the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America. The union starts out with
100 members, representing 80 per
cent OF the men in that trade. Mr.
Hall will return to Cloquet later to
install the union.
Cloquet now has six local unions,
and Mr.. Hall is planning to organize
al ira dese and labor assembly,. He re-
Gently organized the carpenters and
expects to install the officers of this
new union next week. On Sunday he
attended a meeting of the Sulphite
Workers union, which is in a flour
ishing condition just now. The Paper
Makers is the oldest union in Cloquet
and it is 100 per cent strong. The
retail clerks and musicians both have
good organizations.
l. The new Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, will consist of delegates from the
papernlakers, sulphites workers, car
;penters, boxmakers, clerks anu s,n111si-
clans. Mr.. Hail is doing great work
for organized labor and it is very
much appreciated by the workingmen
of Cloquet.

their sentiments nlisrepresented but
are opposed to questions of this kind
being considered in labor conventions,
1t is commended that the rank and file
of organized labor believe that when
conventions take time to wrangle
over prohibition or liquor resolutions
the real purpose fo- which labor is
organized is being neglected.
1t was to combat this pernicious
outside influence as we'll as to bring
together the many union men who
are opposed to the licensed saloon
system, that Senator Jones, Henry
DWorschak, jr., and other members
of organized labor in Duluth con-
ceived the idea of dry league limited
to union men, to take part in the local
option campaign in Duluth. 1t
spread like a prairie fire. Hundreds
of men were shortly enrolled and the
specious pleas of liquor workers
among workingmen were so effect
ually checkmated that, to the sur
prise of the state, Duluth, great
lake port and labor center for a large
section. voted out the saloons by large
majorities.' The central committee
of both campaigns declared that the
most important single factor was the
work and influence of the league.
This month St. Louis county was made
dry by an overwhelming majority and
Mr.. Jones, the general manager of the
campaign, again brought the dry
leagues into action on the ranges with
marked success.
In fact in every recent liquor cam
paign the league has proved itself
to be one Of the most effective agen-
cies in concentrating the attention of
organized workingmen on the issues
involved and they have been intelli-
gent enough to see that the saloon
was interested in them only to the
extent of their votes and influence.
For the purpose of centralizing
these leagues and more effectually
directing the work, the Minnesota
Trades Union Dry league was organ
lied. Richard Jones of Duluth was
selected as the first president of the
new organization; Joseph N. Riddle,
Minneapolis, vice president; r. c.
Henry, Duluth, secretary, and Henry
Dworschak, jr., chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee.
A meeting Of the state executive
committee will be held in the near
future when an extensive organization
program will be outlined.-R. G. H.
