Chicago, Americas Second PORT.

While Chicago has a waterfront of
ninety-six miles, its harbor facilities
are entirely inadequate. Plans are
under consideration for the construc-
tion of four outer harbors for the
handling of passengers and freight,
which would constitute one of the
finest inland harbor systems in the
world.
There is one great natural resource
in transportation of which Chicago
and Illinois have not yet made use. 1t
Is but little more than sixty miles
from the Great Lakes system of
waterways to the Mississippi system.
The first white explorer of this sec
ton almost two centuries and a half
ago, pointed out that with this link
improved there would be a natural
highway from the Great Lakes to the
mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.
Plans are now under way for a barge
canal which shall connect these two
great systems Of waterways. When
this Is accomplished. Chicago, though
thousand miles from the seaboard.
may easily become the first port in
tonnage IN the United States. It is
second only to New York now.-From
Illinois, the New Keystone of the
Union" by Gov. Frank o. Lowden. In
the American Review OF Reyiews.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
means Longer TRIPS
Motorists Will Get Earlier Start and
Drive Till Dark.

Judging from remarks made by our
customers" says Francis Carmody,
president of the Henderson Motor
Company, Saxon distributors, this
will be a great season for automobile
touring. as the majority of owners OF
our cars are making plans for extern
sive trips this spring. summer and fall.
One reason for leading me to believe
that motorists will tour more and fur
ther this year than ever before is the
new daylight saving. 1t sounds rea-
sonable. We can't, Of course, add to
the hours of daylight vouchsafed us.
but with the clock changed and our
habits still working. things will be
vastly different.
Getting started at dawn will be
easier. for one thing, with the sun ris-
ing at $50 instead OF 40. And it's at
the other end of the day that the
change really counts. Tourists who
set out in midforenoon-1O o'clock, say
in June, will have eleven hours of
daylight, instead of ten, In which to
drive. Those who have Saturday aft
ernoon half holidays may start at
and drive until without turning on
their headlight, whereas s o'clock has
brought darkness On the longest days
heretofore"
Just how 1t will work may be seen
in comparison Of sunset hours. as

New Dykes Encyclopedia
Has Interest for Motorists

As we glance through the hun
dreds of pages that tend to make
the volume known as the Dykes
Automobile and Gasoline Encyclo-
pedia, the seventh edition of which
has just been published by A. l..
Dyke, we are more than ever in ac-
cord with the words of the Lohdon
critic who said of the sixth edition:
we have had encyclopedias of mo-
toring before this one, but none so
deserved its title. It is the most
exhaustive, and in
formative work yet published on
the subject of the motor car and
its technique"
This new edition contains many
additions and improvements in the
way of revision and illustrations
and more than well earns its right
to be the motor car encyclopedia,
par excellence.
Carefully Revised.
Each and every subject has been
carefully revised and brought up to
date. For instance. under Carbu-
retion. the reader begins with the
simplest form of the carburetor,
and after he becomes familiar with
the fundamental principles, he then
learns the purpose and meaning of
air-valves, dash
pots. and finally, the very latest
Pilot or ''plain-tube" principle,
which is now becoming very popu-
lar. In just this manner the read
er. or student, progresses from the
first principle of an engine to the
complicated parts of a twelve
cylinder engine.
The ignition subject is made
wonderful simple and clear, as Is
also the subject of electric start
ing and generating system.
The repair subject deserves
special mention. Every part of a
car or engine is thoroughly treat
cd. One has but to refer to the
index to find out how to take up
bearings, connect rods, grind valves,
test compression. and just what to
do to give an engine more power.
Every detail is illustrated, and the
explanation is so simple that one
has but to follow directions.
There are many new additions
to the seventh edition. Such SUBJ
jects as Trucks, Tractors, Motor
cycles, Airplanes and Airplane
Engines are thoroughly covered.
Under the subject of trucks, not
only the construction, care and
operation of a truck are explained,
but how to take down and repair
a truck engine is also explained.
Truck governors, including all lead
ing makes. are described and illus
trated. The four-wheel drive and
lnternal-gear-drive rear axle are
fully explained and illustrated.
Ignition. carburetion and kindred
subjects dealing with the truck
engine are described.

both ways and spells truck efficiency.
The figures obtained by time studies
show the small use that is being made
of trucks as compared with the pos
sibilities as freight movers, especially
on short hauls. Fully 20 per cent are
entirely empty either on the outgoing
or return trip. and the average load
is less than One-third Of capacity.
There are in use I'm the Uuited
States Nsome 500. ~ trucks. II 20 per
cent OF these are running empty one
way. here are 10000 possible carriers
rot used. Assuming the average a.
pacity as one and one-half tons. this
means that one trip day these trucks
could handle 5ZS.OOO tons OF freight.
Now. the average trucks operates
three trips a day. which brings the
figure up 10 l.575,cOO tons a day more
than they are now carrying that might
be handled under perfect conditions
by the trucks which now run empty
one way.
Keep the truck fun but the driver
sober.

A Neighborhood Expander.

The automobile has made neighbor-
hood bigger term. With a good car
it is as easy to visit your friend ten
miles distant as it used to be to call
on one within, sight of your home.
Not only has the automobile enlarged
the neighborhood; it has in a sense
made the whole country one neigh
borhood, and broken down sectional
lines.
1t is an interesting study during the
touring season to note the States from
which cars hail as they speed by on
pleasure bent. Remote parts of the
Union will be found represented in
every popular touring section. Those
who travel by automobile come into
more intimate touch with the coun-
try than those who travel by train.
The car goes right by the door; the
life of the people unfolds in an ever
changing panorama.
The motorist who keeps his eyes
open can get knowledge of the
country and the people excelled only
by that of the pedestrian as he moves
at his snail-like pace. Added knowl-
edge always means the breakdown
Of sectional lines. Give credit, then,
to the automobile as a unifying in
fiuence in national life.

Cycle Dispatch Rider

Being a motorcycle dispatch rider Is
not as easy as it sounds. 1t is a hard,
heart-breaking bit of wars grimness

what these boys are battling with
