Rippling Rhymes

It's sad to see the young men go, away from
all they love and know, to where wars

heart to feel, while watching them depart,
that they may not return. We calmly read

sian guns in yonder endless fray; we gave
the tribute of sigh to .Englishmen who
went to debut they were far away. We
cannot truly sympathize with foreigners;

FARMERS MAKING
AUTO PLANTS HUM
Demand in Rural Regions for
Motor Cars Large Factor in
Great Industry.
By n. II. Harper,
HarperOverland Company.


The demand for automobiles that
plants OF this country working day
and night Is attributed largely to the
prevailing prosperity of the American
farmer. The men of the soil no long,
er look upon the horseless carriage
with disfavor. as in the early days
Of the industry. On the contrary.
they are buying cars in even greater
numbers than their cousins in the
cities.
Farmers have not only come to real
ize that they are able to enjoy the
better things of life just as well as
the men OF the city, but they demand
them.
Motor cars are considered indis-
pensable by the prosperous class of
farmers. They have become a rural
necessity.
Out there where distances are great
and the nearest house Is miles away,
the automobile is worth its weight, In
gold.
Even where the poorest roads pre-
vail, the motor car is plowing through
mud and sand and deep ruts every day
Of the year. It Is safe to say that
there is hardly a farm In the United
States that has not been visited by a
motor car at one time or another,
Improved machinery, farming i'm
plements, and household convenlences
all have helped to make life on the
farm more worth while, but the ma
jority OF farmers would consider sac
rificing any OF these rather than give
up the pleasures and comforts of their
automobiles. ..

COCK ROBIN NO MORE
SPRINGS HARBINGER
Has Been Superseded by Tour
ing Bulletins and Motor
ing Journals.

No longer does the chirp OF the
robin presage spring. Cock Robin, the
'time-honored harbinger of that season,
has lost his Job. To lapse into the
easy vernacular OF Claude Miller, who
spends the best part of every work
ing day boosting the bort car with
the enthusiasm OF the successful car
merchant, "The newspaper touring bu'
reau and the motoring Journal have
beaten Cock Robin to II"
And so II seems. Cock Robin can
still dig his worms in the front yard.
and the spring poets can immortalize
his lay; but it's the touring bureau
that tells us today IL she west road is
good and where we have to detour,
and what we can expect to find on the
road between "here and there"
April seems to be the date set by
number OF the motor publications
for their spring touring numbers.

WAR DEMORALIZES
EUROPE'S CAR GUILD
Factory Facilities Diverted and
Personnel of Sport Interested
In New Occupations.

There appears to be an impression
vide few racing cars. The fact is
that all the European factories have
been swept clean of all their speed
creations and have had mo opportuni-
ties OF making new ones siace the
outbreak of the war. In August, 1914.
successful racing cars were. to be
found in the Peugeot, Delage, Sun
beam, Mercedes, Fiat, Opel and Ma
giant factories. according to the Au-
tomobile. Vauxhall had a set of cars
which might have become successful
IL six months more work had been
put into them.
All the Peugeots have been shipped
to America, and the PeuEeot factory
is incapable of producing any more
machines, for its race team has been
broken up. its race engineer having
formed an independent company to
manufacture aviation engines. Boil
lot had been killed and Jules Goux IL
q lieutenant in the French army. De-
lage has also sold all his cars, with
the exception of Guyot's machine,
which finished third at Indianapolis
in 1914. This has been converted into
a fast runabout, for its cylinder ca
pacity exceeds the 300-inch limit.
Delage has maintained his complete
organisation, but 10 too busy on army
work to produce racing machines.
Sunbeam made a new engine for the
1914 Grand Prix racers and sent one
to America last year. but 1t IS under
stood mo more have been built except
the two for Rickenbacher.
Mercedes cars will not reach Amer
lea until after the war. It is known
that several persons have tried to
get the machines out OF Germany,
but have had to abandon the attempt.
The Opal cars are less interesting,
but they also are unavailable by rea:
son OF the blockade. Fiat has two OF
the last French Grand Prix cars, and

for the new American Fiat Company.
now controlled by the parent factory.
These are the only available cars
and they are not for sale. The 200
horse power Fiat Is at the Turin fac
tory, where It has been lying since
Arthur Duray made his attempt on
the worlds kilometer record. The car,
however. is privately owned and does
not appear to be for sale. Also its
dimensions put IL out of competitive
racing. The Nagant factory Is in Bel
gium, and only the Germans know
what has become OF the set of 1914
racing cars run at Lyons.

WILL CHECK CARS
FOR INAUGURATION
Ample Protection Afforded Auto
Owners Attending March .
5 Ceremonies.

Arrangements have been made for
checking and guarding cars, at a
number of points. convenient to the
line of march and to all grand stands
on Inauguration day.
This protection is afforded by
watchmen, carefully chosen. There
will be a sufficient number Of these
watchmen at each checking station
to afford ample protection for all
cars and contents left in their care.
Each car owner. on arriving at a
station will be given check, In
duplicate, for his car. and when leav-
ing the station he must present both
checks to the man in charge. who
will the pass his car through the
lines No car will be delivered with
out the corresponding check.
A small fee is to be charged for
this service. and II Is thought that this
plan will meet with the approval Of
the motoring public, in view OF the
fact that owners of motor vehicles
may witness the inaugural ceremon-
les with the satisfaction Of knowing
that they will, upon their return. find

door locations where motion pictures
are made at night there are no nearby
electric lines that can be used for cur
rent.
The vitagraph Company OF America
was FIRST successfully to solve this
problem by providing a portable light
ing system, consisting Of an electric
generator mounted on a five-tone mo-
tor truck.
This OUTFIT can supply sufficient
light for the photogaphing of night
scenes In the largest productions, and
the machine because Of its ability to
travel over any kind OF roads, can
reach any desired spot.
The body IL vanlike in shape and
divided into two compartments. One
includes q dynamo OF 21S amperes
and q voltage OF 100. The rear com
partment has a five-cy1inder marine
engine of 50-horsepower at a speed Of
750 revolutions per minute.
On each side Of the drivers seat are
vertical tube radiators to cool the wa
ter OF the marine engine circulating
system. The body is fireproof inside
and insulated from the chassis by
rubber mats. The current supplied
by the generator Is carried by wires
to as many OF the regular indoor stu
do arcs as are necessary.

OHIO MAY PLEDGE FUNDS
State VIII obtain Federal Aid for
Roads II Bill Passes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 3-First
steps toward obtaining Federal aid in
building of Ohio roads were taken
when Senator White, Of Erie county,
introduced a bill which pledges that
the State will spend as much on. any
main market or inter-county highway
during the next five years as the
National Government
His measure would allow Ohio to
reap the benefits OF an act passed last
July by Congress.
According to Highway Commission
er Cowen, S1S5,00O has been appor-
toned by Congress for Ohio In 1911.
The amount Is to be doubled next
year, and that contribution in turn
doubled in 1919. For each OF the two
remaining years of the five-year
agreement the amount available from
Washington Is to be twice that of
the preceding year. In all, approx
mately $4,000, 900 will come from the
Federal Treasury and Ohio will spend
a like sum under the White bill.
