Ralph DePalma: What is scooter? I have heard the name given to some kind of a machine and my impression is that it means an automobile that can be driven on the ice.-Waldo

but they are not quite so marked as you might imagine. In track racing the fast car in passing passes to the right. so that with left drive you can see how close you are to the car you are passing On the other hand, since racing cars have no lenders, both front wheels are usually visible from inc drivers seat whether it be left or right.

DIESEL TOO HEAVY

Ralph DePalma: Why hasn't the Die sel engine been used for automobiles? It seems to me that it's economy of op- eration ought to appeal, especially now; perhaps there may be some fun damentally good reason for the lack of interest in this type.-H. BlaisdelL
 The Diesel requires great deal of improvement and refinement before it will be looked upon as a possible power plant for passenger automobiles. As the Diesel is now made it is too heavy and large and its speed is too low. l am of the opinion that this type of engine will become an import ant factor in the development of a suitable power plant for certain classes of trucks and tractors In tractors this is especially true, for here weight l is usually advantageous and constant | speed and load prevail

DIFFICULT STARTING

Ralph DePalma: Would 1t be pos sible for a weak battery to make starting difficult and yet keep the en- zine running all right at a good speea after the start was made? l am up against some such condition, but am not sure the battery is to blame IL R. T.
 In most systems after the engine reaches a certain speed the generator supplies the ignition current and con- sequently once the engine is started and running at a fair rate Of speeo' the battery plays no part in ignition. I presume you have such system, waive isi included, which comes into operation when the pressure reaches 1000 pounds,
 After the steam is generated it is conducted from the upper headers of the generator along a manifold and passes through throttle valve, whence it goes to the steam m-chest of the engine The throttle valve is a combination of the poppet and piston types. Tie piston valve controls the amount of steam going into the en- | zine. while the Doppet valve keeps che | throttle from leaking The exhaust steam from the cylinders is introduced I into the top of an ordi1 ny radiator. being forced down through by the | pressure or the SteaHh ioiio"ii'S ~.

CARBURETING KEROSENE

Ralph DePalma: What has been the real trouble in carbureting kerosene and why are there so many devices on the market which claim to make the use of kerosene satisfactory. but which have only limited use ?-G. K. Rich ards.
 I know that there are many kero- them of doubtful value. while others show high degree of efficiency. l certainly would not condemn them as class. because I know that some of ! them are giving the results claimed for them. The main trouble in car bureting kerosene Is not in getting the required amount of heat. but in main taining the same heat until the g-s IS the pressure type, both for the Heating l unit and pilot light. An auxiliary tank l containing about quart of fuel Is main 1 tained constantly under pressure. Into 1 this Akerosene is automatically pumped when the car Is in motion, the pressure | being accurately maintained at certain 1 definite point
 POWER PLANT
 The Stanley power plant has two cylin- ders of the double acting type, the crank shaft being paralell to the rear axle of the car and directly coupled to the rear | axle by spur gears. The term double acting. as applied to steam power plants means that the steam exerts it's power
 against both sides of the pistons. The control takes the form of a lever, To- | cated under the steering wheel and b5
 moving it ur or down, the operator con trols the amount of steam permitted te enter the engine. All parts of the powel
 plant are enclosed, so that even whet it is in motion no movement is disclosed
 to the inqujsitive person.
 The other prominent steamer in pres ent day use, the Doble, has the sam'
 basic characteristics as the Stanley, m l evitably, but the details are worked OH differently This applies particularly t
 the generator and to the heating method
 The Doble does not employ the pilo
 light. It has lever control and IS als'
 of the two-cylinder variety. The engtn'
 is located on the rear axle. The starting
 method employs an electric spark, tn
 flame being entirely enclosed within tn
 combustion chamber.
 THE GENERATOR
 The Doble generator embodies 2S sec
 tions, all the same, located in an insu
 lated casing. Each section has two hori zontal headers connected by 16 vertica tubes of cold drawn, seamless steel tub

TO SAVE FROZEN POTATOES
Tubers Should Be Dried Out In Oven
Will Lose None Of Their
Nutritive Value.

Frozen potatoes are not neces-
sarily spoiled. says the Literary Di.
gest, and goes on to quote the Revue
Scientifique as follows:
"The potatoes must be dried
that is to say, the greater part of
their water constituent must be re-
moved, to prevent decomposition,
which takes place very rapidly after
they have thawed out.
"The oven should be heated as
for baking bread. Then, when it has
reached the necessary temperature,
which is easily recognized in prac-
hce by the appearance of the roof
Of the oven, the potatoes are put in,
cutting up the largest. They are
spread out in a layer so that evapo-
ration may easily take place, the
door of the oven being left open.
From time to time the mass is
stirred up with a poker to facilitate
and hasten the evaporation. When
the drying has gone far enough, the
potatoes having become hard as bits
Of wood, they are withdrawn to make
room for others.
Potatoes thus dried may be
boiled with enough water to make
paste similar to that which they
would have furnished if mashed in
the ordinary manner, and which will
answer very well, at least to feed
stock. The potatoes, in fact, will be
found to have lost none of the ele-
ments that give them their nutri-
tive value.

PATRIOTIC SQUIRREL.

When workmen were cutting down
large dead oak tree near Vermont
and Oriental streets recently, relates
the Indianapolis News, a squirrePa
nest was found in one of the hollow
sections. Billie, the squirrel, is an
old-time playmate of all the chill
dren in that neighborhood, but the
children did not know just where he
lived, so could not protect his win
ter home. Knowing this, the pet
had taken one Of the numerous
American flags at the corner and
lined his nest with it, thinking it
would save the tree until next spring.
Billie had stored only few nuts,
knowing that the children would
feed him we'll during the winter.
