NOLAN INJURED IN GRAVEL
MINE IN CALlFORNIA

The following is a clipping from
. coast town paper:
J. C. Nolan, Of Long Beach. who
Is interested with the Foote Bros.
in a gravel mine on the Middle Yuba
river, below Graniteville, met with
an accident there yesterday morn
ing that may have resulted much
more seriously.
While working at the mouth Of the
tunnel a large boulder rolled down
the hill. headed directly for Mr.. Mol
an. He did not have time to get
out Of the way and stuck out his
right arm to ward Il off. with the re-
suit that the arm is fractured In the
wrist. Had Mr.. Nolan been struck
squarely by the rock. he would have
been crushed to death.
The injued man came to this city
and DR.. A. II. Tickell reduced the
fracture. Mr.. Nolan will leave to-
day for his home At Long Beach, to
remain there until he has the use Of
tho arm again. He considers him
self fortunate that he got off with n
broken arm.

TOWN BOARD IN REGULAR
MONTHLY SESSION

The Town Board held its regular
monthly meeting Monday evening,
with all members except Madison
present. The grist of business was
not large, except the bills, which are
larger than the Board likes to con-
template, but there seems to be no
way to keep down the high cost Of
doing the things necessary for the
conducting of the business.
The matter of refunding the water
works bonds, which has been under
advisement,, at 5 and ahalf cents
was discussed at length, but it was
decided that in year or so money
might be available at lower rate Of
interest, and that it would be unwise
to tie the town up for a term Of
years at and ahalf per cent.
The mayor presented a sketch of
a plan from the park architect in
which he designated new place for
the location of the Memorial Drink
ing Fountain, in the center of E.
End street, near the sidewalk cross
ing. With the street parked to the
High School building, this would be
ideal setting, it was thought, and
it would be in a place to give the
best possible service as a drinking
fountain.
He also had an estimate on the
completion Of the park along the
lines presented to the Community
Club, but of course this work could
not be undertaken now on account
Of other crying needs for money. so
it is useless to quote the figures at
this time.
A question that is agitating the
minds Of the Board was discussed
at some length, and the ordinance
adopted many years ago relative to
it was read, and the marshal instruc-
ted to warn offenders Of its con-
tents. That is regarding the candy
and cigar punch boards. The mayor
and marshal reported that the par
ents Of young boys are complaining
that they are throwing away their
money! and acquiring the habit Of
playing games Of chance at the
places where these boards are kept
The ordinance is plain that anyone
keeping such game Or anyone guilty
Of playing them are liable to prose-
cution and the penalty is very dras-
tic. No definite action other th,r
that the parties be notified. was tax.
en-, but the mayor said he felt that
the ordinance should be enforced.

FEW DRIVERS KNOW
ABOUT THEIR MOTORS

1t is surprising how few drivers of
automobiles really know how the power
is generated inside of the cylinders of
their motors, according to j. M. Craw-
ford, chief engineer for the Allen Motor
company.
There Is scarcely one driver Of an
automobile In a hundred that really
knows what makes his a run, Prac-
tically all Of them when questioned will
say that the motor is operated by ex-
plosions In the cylinders. OF their car.
st is strange that such a common
misunderstanding could be so far from
the real condition. In reality there Is
nothing resembling an explosion, but in
stead a burning OF gasoline vapor. Gas
vapor upon being heated expands many
times its own volume. Thus every en-
gina is really a heat engine and derives
itA Bower from converting the fuel vapor
into heat. When the gas is quickly
burned a tremendous force Is exerted
(which results in the impulses upon the

is to hasten the ignition OF the "a

ploded and burned instantaneously this
could not be done, for the motor would
knock or run backward. But compared
to the operation of the motor, the burn
ing is SLOW and must be started before
stroke. Thus by the time the piston
begins its downward journey the full
force OF the expanding gas is being
utilized.
"The excellent performance in the de-
velopment Of power OF the Allen motor
is due to the are taken to utilize the
heat generated from every drop OF fuel.
AZ a result the motor develops more
power than that at which 1t Is really
rated according to Its BiZe."
