SUCCESS OF RURAL ROUTES
Important Factors Which Must Bo
Given Consideration In Motor
Transportation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner In the field Of rural mo-
tor transportation. These four fac
tors are: a. The volume Of farm
products produced along the contem-
plated route; (2) the volume of mis-
cellaneous hauling which could be Sc
cured to supplement regular loads; (3)
competition from other carriers which
would be encountered; (4) the charac-
ter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. 1t may safely be
said that the features mentioned
above will ultimately determine the
success or failure of any rural route.

to most crank-shafts. Sketch A shows
the layout or pattern, B shows a side
view, and c an end view. Sheet brass
or copper should be used. The end of
the shaft should be smoothed slightly,
and then the scupper riveted or
brazed in place. The crank-shafts are
carefully balanced In high-speed
motors, so care should be used not to
change the balance any more than
necessary.
Before installing such a system a
careful inspection should be made, to
make sure that there Is room for the
scuppers at all places as the shaft re-
wolves. Great care should be exer-
cised in laying out this work, as the
crank-shaft could easily be damaged,
and in job Of this sort mistakes are
very costly, usually necessitating the
purchase Of new parts. A study of
the engines interior is essential to
every amateur motorists. e. Gibbs

OIL CRANk-PINS
OF auto ENGINE
Chief Reason Why Bearings Wear
Fast is That They Are Not
fabricated Properly.
GOOD SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED
Has Given Excellent Results and ELM
mated Most Of Connectinq-Rod
Bearing TroubIe-Study In
terror Of Engine.

The adjustment of the connecting
rod bearings is one of the most COM
mon repair jobs on an automobile en-
gine. Probably the chief reason why
these bearings wear faster than the
others is that they are not fabricated
properly under all conditions. The
system described below has given very
good results and has almost elimi-
mated connecting-rod bearing trouble.
Most of the oil delivered to the main
bearings escapes the ends and flows
along the crank webs, and is finally
thrown off by centrifugal force. If
small scuppers are placed at the ends
of the crank-pins this oil will be
caught and may be carried through
the pin to the bearing.
In the right-hand illustration one
throw Of the crank-shaft is shown
with the scupper in place. The oil
leads are indicated by dotted lines.
The radial hole should be drilled first,
and should extend to the center Of the
pin. Then q hole should be drilled

Praise for Italian
Army in Albania

New York.-Brig. Gen. George p.
Scriven, formerly chief of the signal
corps Of the United States army, who
was for several months attached MS
American military observer to the
Italian forces in the field, and who
recently returned from Rome. speaks
enthusiastically of what he saw In
Valona. or Avlona, as 1t is sometimes
called, the chief port Of Albania, which
the secret treaty of London, in April,
1915, allotted to Italy. Valona, he said,
Is regarded by the Italians as one Of
the keys to the Adriatic. and their oc-
cupation since December, 1914. wh9l
troops were landed because of Internal
disorder, has transformed 1t from n
squalid fishing village to a seaport that
is on Its way to attain IN importance
1t has not enjoyed since the days Of
the Roman Empire. Docks have been
built, buildings have been erected and
military roads, unsurpassed anywhere,
have been constructed from Valona
throughout Albania by Italian engi-
neers, he said.
The general described how the
Prince Of Wied, placed on the Albanian
throne by the powers, was overthrown,
and republic set up with Essad
Pasha as president. He, too, was
forced out, and the little country was
left prey to Austrian intrigue from

in speaking of his air trip.
Lonesome Work.
"On trip of several hundred miles
you may be making speeds which
would be terrific In an auto-140 miles
an hour. But at the height Of mile
or more you have no realization Of
speed. and sitting up there in the wind
and noise is lonesome work. The
stunts are more exciting, Of course
but there is no competition, no audi
ence, no applause. Hurdling over the

by so doing" said General SCriven,
Italy saved at least the greater part
of southern Albania from the horrors
of Austrian and probably Bulgar occu-
patton, and, In addition, became the
deciding factor In the great ultimate
success of the Balkan campaign, which
now appears to have been the loose
stone in the arch that upheld the Ger
man power.
"By this peaceful occupation mill
tary position was secured that later be-
came an important nayal station for
the allies. as well as a strategic and
tactical base OF such Importance that
had it fallen into the hands of the
enemy, the great military romance Of
the balkans, II played At all, would
have occupied far more narrow
stage, and the whole of western AL
bania would have been thrown open to
the Germans.
with the entrance of the Italians
into the war, military activity in the
Balkans increased. Additional forces
were sent to Valona, from which as Il
base italian control was extended
over all southern Albania. The Italian
troops, without violence, and, Indeed,
at the request Of the inhabitants them
selves, occupied the Interior towns, or

70 my mind the greatest accom-

The map is of special interest from
the fact that it Is based on the same

by the armies of the allied forces in
the military operations In France. To
meet those requirements and ut the
request Of the army, special publica-

Value Of New Map.
The Mercator projection, almost uni
versally used for nautical charts, Is re-
sponslble for many false Impressions
Of the relative size of the countries diff
fering in latitude. according to the sur
vey statement. The polycOnic pro-
lection, widely used and well adapt
ed for both Topographic and hydro
graphic surveys, when used for the
whole Of the United States in one map
has the serious defect Of unduly exag-
gerating the areas on its eastern and
western limits. Along the Pacific
coast and in Maine the error in scale
is as much as G1s per cent. while at
New York 1t reaches Az per cent.
The value of the new outline map
on the Lambert projection can best be
realized when it is stated that 1t shows
that throughout the largest and most
important part of the United States,
that is, between latitudes 30h degrees
and 40 degrees, the maximum scale
error is only one-half Of l per cent.
