PIERS AT COLONIAL BEACH
BADLY DAMAGED BY ICE
Freight House Carried Out Into
River-General Damage May
Reach $4,000.

Both the excursion and freight piers
at Colonial Beach have been badly
damaged by ice. This is, according to a
message received here by Charles H.
st. John. general manager of the Po-
tomac and Chesapeake Steamboat Com
pany. from the agent of the company at
Colonial Beach
The southeast gale of Friday night
piled the ice on the beach and about
the wharves from fifteen to twenty
feet high. Heavy timbers of both
wharves were crushed in.
The piles of ice reached to the second
floor of the big dancing pavilion at the
shore end of the excursion pier This
pavilion has also been greatly dam
aged.
when shift in the wind came Fri
day morning, the freight house on the
pier used by the river line steamers
was carried out into the river on the
ice. 1t is feared that it will be broken
up before it can be recovered
II the damage done is as great as is
reported the loss will exceed 100000.
With every wharf building concern in
this section of the country busy on gov
ernment contracts, it will be difficult
matter to have the wharves rebuilt in
time for spring trade.
Fears are also felt for the safety OF
wharves on the Virginia side of the
river. Practically all of them had ice
piled on them in the gale of Friday
night

PIPING Oil to Ships at Sea.

From Popular Science Monthly.
Great oil regions lie to the west OF
Tuxpam, which Mexico city. in conse-
onence. has become a most convenient
point for exporting oil. However, there
are neither docking nor harbor facill-
ties. because of an immense sandbar
which effectually prevents ocean-gons
vessels from approaching the city much
nearer than mile. -
TO overcome this difficulty the oil
companies devised a novel method OF
loading oil. Long pipe lines were run
out under the sea and over the sand-
bar. TO the outer ends of these lines

Study Wireless Operating at Class
Formed by Howard University.

In immediate response to the request
of the federal board for vocational edu
cation, the school of applied sciences,
Howard University, established a course
for the training Of radio operators for
service in the Signal Corps Of the Army.
Opening November 19 with an enroll
ment of 65 men, the number has since
been increased to 123. These men availed
themselves of this opportunity for study
on the theory that it was better for them
and for their country that they enter the
cantonments equipped for some special
service
Mai. Thomas C. Spencer, signal officer
of the 92d Division, recently visited the
school and commended the men on their
progress. Three men already have re-
ceived certificates, after having developed
a proficiency of twenty words of five let
ters each per minute, sending and receiv-
ing. Seventy-nine men have been recon-
nal Battalion now being formed at Chilli
cothe. Ohio, where they will undergo in

Classes now are being held each evening
except Saturday and Sunday from to 8

to men subject to the draft who fall in
the second. third or fourth classes, and
to those who later desire to enlist. The
equipment is modern and complete, ade-
quate for 100 men. Competent instructors
are provided. Beginners may start any
evening.
Men desiring to take the course are re-
quested to communicate with Harold D.

ADVISES EXTREME CARE

Part of All Motorists.

1t becomes increasingly urgent. with
the government demanding the bulk Of
the solid rubber tire output for motor
transports. that owners of commercial
vehicles must concentrate Immediately
all attention on conserving their tires.
Truck tire authorities assert that only
by the cooperation of truck owners
will manufacturers be able to supply
the government with the 100000 solid
hostilities on a lavish scale. There
fore possessors of commercial vehicles,
on whom the government must rely to
relieve the freight congestion and
speed produce from the farm to the
consumer, should commence at once a
policy of conservation. Increased use
Of the motor truck means increased
tire wear and gasoline consumption.

The damage accruing from the COM

great. There is only one prevention for
this: keep within the capacity of the
truck.
There Is positively no remedy for a
tire broken down from overloading The
reason is that the rubber has been

elasticity. Little cracks occur and the

Friction Heat Disastrous.

Heat is as disastrous to solid tires as
it is to inflated tires. Heat makes its
appearance In overspeeding. When a
pilot sends his truck pell NELL over a
smooth or rough road the heat that is
generated within the tire, due to rapid
displacement and road friction, is seri-
Gus enough to cause a permanent in
jury. 1t doesn't take long for disinte-
grafton to set in.
Skidding Injuries the tires. Drivers
should be brought to realize that their
trucks will stop quicker II the brakes
are applied gradually rather than
quickly.
The effect upon a tire out of align
ment is continual friction. If driver
notes a scaly appearance on his tread,
he should remedy his alignment imme-
diately. Hard jolts cause this trouble.
Tire cuts should be healed with ce-
ment or trimmed to lessen resistance as
soon as discovered.
When a truck is driven in car tracks,
one-half the tire carries the load while
the other half is cut by the tracks.
Anti-skid devices should be used only
when vitality necessary.
