TRANSFORMS FORD
 ID 8-VA[VE DEMON

Martin R. Cordes. son of Martin F. Cordes, an automobile repair man in Seattle, Washington. has turned an ordinary Ford car into an ht-cylin- der car. He took a standard Ford chassis and put on an extra Ford en- zine in front, tandem fashion, joining the two engines with universal coup ling. The double powerplant is cooled by two force-feed water crculators and an extra large fan. The oil is forced into the rear engine by magnets through a trough and then into a 5-16 inch tube. which carries it to the front engine A relief tube from the front to the rear engine keeps the oil in circulation. There is double exhaust pipe and a double muffler, and one large carburetor serves for both en- zines.
 Through the use of two switch boxes either engine may be run separately. The firing order of the double engine is 1, ,, ?, 6, 4, s, ,, '. giving a power stroke every 90 degrees of the flywheel revolution. It has two separate units of Atwater- Kent ignition, this being superior to the two-unt system in Cordes estimation. The double engine can develop 90 horsepower.

REPUBLIC TRUCK DOES ALL KINDS
 l. IF HARD STUNTS

C. k. Stromberg. manager of the southern Motor company. Arizona, representative for the Republic trucks with headquarters in Phoenix, presents the following:
 Farmers and residents of the Rob erts Island section of Stockton. Cali tornia, were startled a few days ago when a five-ton Republic internal gear drive truck hove in sight, crawling over ploWed fields recently irrigated and climbing levees along the river like a British tank, with a load rather over six tons.
 The truck was loaded at the steamer dock in Stockton with huge engine, pumping apparatus and heavy castings consigned to the Pacific Sugar Refin- ing companys holdings on Roberts Is- land. Leaving the paved highway, the sturdy Republic encountered the soft wet irrigated fields and many times plunged into the mud up to the hubs but always forged ahead with it's eX- cessive load. Gradually working itself out of the mire in one spot it was soon pitching into another bad stretch but never faltering in it's determina- tion to get there
 Reaching its destination, the Re public again demonstrated it's rugged ness and serviceability by backing down steep incline so that the heavy load could be taken off. This necessi- tated a slow. backward grind putting the brakes to the severest test and arousng the admiration of refinery of ficials. And then, free of it's load. the truck climbed out of the hole and pro- ceeded down the levee several miles where another heavy motor was loaded and delivered along with the first.
 The superintendent in charge of the construction work at the sugar re- fnery is authority for the statement that the problem of delivering the huge load was accomplished in just half the time expected. It would have taken at least four days to deliver these sup plies by horse drawn vehicles, he said.
 The wonderful performance of this Republic truck has done almost the unbelievable and the gruelling journey hes convinced me that the internal gear drive has certainly set a new standard for extreme heavy duty" is the way this superintendent pays tri- hute 10 the efficiency of Republic teicks.
 4The Republic internal gear driven truck has made itself felt in most every channel of commerce in the city of Stockton, and practically every oth- er Pacific coast city. Seven different models are now being produced by the Republic factories. from three quarter on to five-tOn capacity. The big truck iS especially designed for heavy duty work and the big business man or nanufacturer. and the light delivery Tor those who have light hauling to do They are all efficiently filling the gap caused by the requistion of men for Uncle Sans various branches and do- ing an enormous amount of extra work over the out -of-date and slow method 1f hauling with horses.

LINK ADDED ID
 CHALMERS THR|FT I.

When E. J. Johnson of Denver passed through Detroit recently, he added one more link to the already long chain of evidence of Chalmers economy.
 On his way from the Colorado City to New York, the overland tourist stopped at the Chalmers factory to turn in a report on the performance of his roadster up to that point. He had determined. before making a start that he would keep an accurate record of gasoline consumption and of his travelling speed and these marks, up to the time of reaching Detroit. speak eloquently of the inherent qualities of the Chalmers.
 The records as kept by the transcon- tinental travellers-Mr. Johnson had one ompanion-showed journey of just 1515 miles from Denver to De- troit. This was accomplished by an average speed of 21.75 miles per hour over roads which. good in spots. defied description in many places. The chart of gasoline consumption however, even under these unfavorable conditions, was the cause of great pride to the Chalmers owner in that it showed that the roadster used but single gallon of fuel for each 1S.2 miles of hard over land travel.
 Mr. Johnson was profuse in his praise of his car and declared the trip one of the most pleasant he had ever made, despite the road conditions along the route.
 A later report from New York an- nounced Mr. Johnson's arrival in the metropolis, the run from Detroit hav- ing been made without the slightest sign of trouble. In New York, the tourist was enabled to see his son, En- sign Brooks Johnson of the navy.

ARIZONA COTTON
 OFFSETS EMBARGO

The cotton grown under irrigated conditions in Arizona and other south western states is offsctting to a certain embargo against the importation of long staple Egyptian cotton. The figures, announced by the United States department of agriculture should have an assuring ring to manu- lecturers of automobile tires, who are the chief users of Egyptian long staple and would be the heaviest sufferes from its scarcity.
 Recently the war trade board limited the imports of the Egyptian brand to S0.000 bales for the year 1918. During the present year. however, between +0. 900 and 50000 of it will be grown in tho United States. compared with 16,- GOO in 1917 and 3,300 in 1916 Accord ing to the departments tests, the American grown fiber is not only sue cessful in manufacture of automobile tires. but spinning tests show that it is excellent for the manufacture of air plane and balloon fabrics.
 Commercial production of Egyptian cotton in the American southwest be- gan only in 1912. after long experi- mentation by the bureau of plant in- dustry. but already has grown to such an extent that imports can be cut to S0,000 bales. thus saving a great amount of cargo space on the long water haul from Egypt"

routes and quit using the railroads altogether. In cases where the terri tory covered is not too widely scattered this method not only saves time but actually keeps down the expense ac- count. In some cases. travelling men to whom we have sold cars say that they surely will continue to use them in their work even should after the war conditions result in normal rail rates.
 Another way in which steam pow CT is being conserved and can be con- served to greater extent is by sub stituting the automobile for the oc- casienal business trip or family tour While the motor car usually provides the most pleasurable mode of travel there may be times when its use will require some little sacrifice of time or convenience. But sacrifice is the spirit of the day and the national need so great that nobody can afford to overlook any chance to render even indirect service"

ACCESSORY SALES
 ID RECEIVE BOOST

Owing to the announced discontinu- ance of the production of new cars after the first of the year, the sale of used parts and accessories will be stimulated accordingly. Instead of discarding a car as soon as it begins to need repairs and parts. the owner will look to wrecking companies that can supply his needs and thereby become more familiar with the possibilities of obtaining what is required at a reason able figure.
 MT. Steinberg of the Steinberg Auto Wreeking Company stated that many automobile owners were not aware that they could often obtain what they wanted in automobile parts by just go- ing over his stock which consisted of motors, starters generators carbure- tors. transmissions. differentials. coils, springs, radiators, windshields, axels. Bearings. gasoline tanks, presto tanks, spot lights, rims, etc. This would save the trouble of sending back to the fac tory, which causes extra expense and much delay. The company also buys used and wrecked cars.

more consequence in the next Congress
than in tho remaining days Of the
present. War measures are not de-
veloping partisanship; and they will
be the wear when Congress reassem-
bles and while this session lasts. At
the short session the routine will have
the right Of way, and will not afford
much room for partisan maneuver-
ings.
But the next Congress, whether
called in the spring in extra session,
or meeting at the prescribed time in
December, will show an appreciation
by both sides Of the fact that q presi.
Dental contest, to be conducted on

that the record of the first session Of

the Senate for advantage when the

Two Ambassador.

As special ambassadors Col. House
and Senator Lewis differ in their
methods. When the colonel goes
abroad he is very reserved. He is the
silent man while on tour. He avoids
publicity. In Paris the newspaper
writer's, defeated in their efforts to get
an interview, dubbed him "The
sphinx in q slouch hat" He refused
to talk. OF conjecture as to his mis-
sion and the progress he was making
there was an abundance, but none
Of it was founded upon anything pur-
porting to have come from him. He
sailed, he saw, he returned, but at
NO time had he taken the public into
his confidence.
The senator, now in Paris, is free
spoken. He gives an interview, and
then makes a speech. Tho public on
both sides Of the Atlantic is advised as
to his views and hopes and move
ments.
This is to be noted in explanation.
The two men are very unlike in per
sona1 tastes and equipment. Col.
House is not a speaker, NOR is he ia
nous even as q conversationalist.. BE
!! is q capital listener, however, and has
shown himself to be . very capable
e1ecutant. His advice is much priced
by the President.
Senator Lewis, on the other hand,
is q ready, fnent and entertaining
speaker, and also witty conversation
alist. He likes company, and man
ages to make company like him.
he is never the silent man anywhere
or in any circumstances. As senator,
as companion and as special ambassa-
dor, he frees his mind.
Another difference to be noted is
that Col House holds no political Of
fee and sspires tosnone. He is con-
tent with serving the country in an un,
official w2yas tho personal friend and
confdaut Of President Wilson.
Senator Lewis holds Office, and as.
pires to succeed himself inst. As an
official he Is ve1y-mnch in tho lime.
light; and. just now tho fmelight Is
valuable to him. Politicein nlinoisis
not-only not adjourned but in brisk

abroad gathering information and ad-
vning As to war matters, the repub-
Scans at home, who hope to defeat
him for reelection, are very active
AL he is now doing, therefore, will, II
given to the people to know, make
him the more interesting when he re-
turns and takes the stump in the

Germany Planning Future War.

That Germany is now planning for
the next war is indicated by an or
der recently found on the battle
field requesting commanders Of diff
ferent units to furnish lists Of Off
GERS and men who have shown aptitude
in the gas work and who "desire to
continue in that service after the
var, This order invites even mutt
lated soldiers whose in6rmities do
not incapaeitate them for this work to
send in their names.
One of tho objects for the proseeu-
ton of this war to q military eonelu-
sion is to put Germany in position
where she cannot plan further devil
try. It is essential to the peace Of
the world and the safety of human
ity that she should be reduced to q
position Of impotence in respect to the
violation of treaties and the institu-
ton of military campaigns.
This order contemplating the re-
construction of the German army after
the war ON basis Of the barbarities
Of military practice devised in the
present campaign is one Of the strong
est possible arguments against any
peace by arrangement" It is as
sured that Germany Will seek by every
possible means to obtain peace terms
that will leave her free to reorganize
her armies. Any peace that permits
this will be but respite from var-an
armed truce.
It is interesting to note that ac-
eording to this order Germany de-
Ggns to start afresh upon the basis
Of the abominable methods of warfare
that she has devised. The introduc-
tiou of poison gas was q violation of
The Hague convention, to which Ger.
many subscribed. Apparently the
government at Berlin regards gas war
fare - now fegularized. The fact that
the allies have retalizted by adopting

Spain and Germany.

Spain's protest to Germany against
the sinking of Spanish ships BY SUBJ
marines is singularly belated. It
might just Is we'll have been made q
year or two ago. for the practices caus-
ing it have been long continued and
are by no means a new development.
For every Spanish ship sunk hence
forth, it is stated. Spain will seize a
German vessel now interned in Span
ish port. This, however, is mild
manner Of retaliation. Spain has suf-
fered enough from Germany to have
caused her to 60 to war long since.
According to q recent dispatch the
Official protest from Madrid to Berlin
is couched in rather plaintive terms Of
reproach. Spain has been SO good to
Germany, has, as neutral, rendered
80 many valuable services, has been
so particularly considerate of German
interests, that it is distressing now to
find Germany so-indiferent and harsh.
Unquestionably Spain has been good
to Germany-just how good the un-
Official world does not fully appre-
ciate. But Spain has protested before
and Germany has promised to be
good and has promptly broken her
promises, as she has broken every other
promise she has made. Probably Ger

other Spanish ship will be sunk Then
We will see whether Spain means busi-
