 sThere are two points in this that appeal to me. First, it is our duty as citizens to make better citizens out of these noa-Enslish-speaking foreigners and save them from the dangers we know so well, and second, it is our greatest duty to furnish our own Ing lish-speaking miners with the protec- ton they are entitled to against the irresponsible and ignorant type of min CT who does not understand the dang CTS and apparently cares so little about them.

IGNORANCE IS
 HE CAUSE IF
 MANY DEATHS

WASHINGTON. D. C., (Ry Main.- Van H. Naming, director of the Bureau of Mines. Department of the interior, informed Congress that the education of the non-Enalish.speakine foreign born among the miners by the so-cail- ed Americanization bill should result in the saving from death each year of nearly 1000 Of these men and the saving from injury of about f5o,oo0. Teaching these men how to read and write the English language would per rT,it them to read the ordinary preeau- tionary signs in the most dangerous mines and enable the men to under stand the suggestions for safety given by the bosses, according 10 Mir. Man ming.
 mr. Manning slames the present high rate in the mines to the presence Of these foreigners from the non-Eng- lish-speaking races. majority Of whom are not even able to read or write their own languages. He finds that the death and injury rates among these men are twice as high as among inc Engish-speaking miners and that their presence in the mines is respons- ib!e for s higher accident rate than would ordinarily exist among the Engiish-sepaking miners, making these men z menace 10 all of the miners. The statistics show that there are n,ore than 62o.o0o foreign-born men employed n tlis mines and that 75 ger cent cf these. CT 4e5, 900, are from the nor -Engiish-speakins races. nearly all Of them from countries where there is nc mining.
 These are the men the Bureau of Mines is unable to reach with its life-savins recommendations, for they can not understand. We have tried to reach them in their native tongues, but this seems to be hopeless, too for
 we find that but a few Of them can read even their own languages. What l c5ject 10 most seriously is that it is the great horde ef men Of this calibre which is jeopardizine the lives of the American miner. The intelligent American miner has been making much progress in safety, and # we had 10 deaI with him alone. the death rates would soon be down to a par ss;tf, the natural hazards of the in- dustry, and ii would not be pointed out that this country has the highest fatality rates of amp civilized country in the world. For the protection of sne Engiish-speaking miners, we should educate these ignorant, Hitter ate men or keep them out Of the mines. they should be given the op- 7ortuuity Of keeping pace with Ameri- can crogress and chance to become goed American citizens, Of they should be kepjt away from places where they endanger the lives q men who are z9od. intelligent citizens.
 With the mining industry increas- snc n extent about ten per cent a year. the leaders believe that we need ziI the men we can get. F that is true, let us give these men decent chance for their lives, and let Us give the miners from the Engiish-speaking races, who do understand the difficult ties and dangers. 3 little more than a

Pitch Lake


 Probably the most valuable lake in the world is Pitch Lake on the Island of Trinidad in the British West Indies. Pitch Lake is not really lake at all. It has the appearance of a great gray swamp holding small pools of stagnant water and fringed with grass and tangled bushes. Imagine a hundred acre expanse of asphalt street ploughed in deep irregular furrows. and you nave q picture of Pitch Lake. for. in reality it is a lake of street paving in the rough.
 In character, the lake is more like mine than anything else-an inex- haustible mine of asphalt. whence no doubt came the pavement that fronts your house. There are only two as- phalt fakes of importance-this Trini dad lake and one in Venezuefa-4nd from these sources are dug out pitch to lay nearly every asphalt pavement ;n the world.
 Several hundred thousand tons of asphalt is dug out of Pitch Lake every year, but the slowly moving material continually closes over and fills un the Saps, so that holes made one day are gone the next. During the twenty years or more in which it's supply has been constantly tapped. Pitch Lake has sunk only few feet.
 Its depth is still unknown, though right now geologists are boring through the center of the lake to find the bottom. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 150 feet without reaching through the asphalt deposit. The diff ficulty of boring through the asphalt is due to the slow, but continuous cur rents which break the shaft and make it necessary to begin all over again.

ENGINEERS DEFINE
 NEW PIERCE ARROW
 DUAL VALVE MODEL
Double Battery Ignition Bet ters Performance of Fa- nous Valve Engine Transmission Is Also I'm proved

The Pierce-Arrow Dual Valve Six, acknowledged to be the highest type of automobile produced, has been bet tered.
 In the forthcoming runs, the Pierce Arrow company offers the pubic a product that embodies the virtues of the famous dual-valve engine, plus refinements and improvements that bring it to a still higher plane of per lection.
 Of the changes which mark the new runs. two are distinctive One effects the ignition system and the other is in the transmission.
 Ignition in the Dual-Valve Six henceforth will be accomplished by double battery system, designed by the Delco company in co-operauon with Pierce-Arrow engineers.
 "The advantages of. this improvement are manitoba said David Ferguson, chief engineer of the company. The new system is as reliable as the mag neto battery system and fully over comes the difficulty of synchronization- Pre-ignition from the magneto at high speed TO longer is possible. Instead two timers and distributors, working in unison, give sparks simultaneously at all speeds"
 ,Outwardly, a smoother running of the engine is most noticeable. The engine picks up more quickly and smoothly and runs more positively at low speed. An automatic spark ad- vance eliminates the necessity of manipulating the spark advance lever for all ordinary running.
 No sacrifice has been made in reli- ability. A new generator of increased capacity will meet the requirements Of the battery There will be little chance of a battery becoming completely dis charged, and only in this state would ignition be effected. A weak battery possesses sufficient current for igni- ion and once the engine is started the generator immediately begins to re- charge the battery at a rapid rate.
 As a matter of fact, the magneto system formerly used gives no adyant- age in case a battery becomes so weak oned that the starter fails to rotate the engine. Drivers who sometimes have started an engine by cranking when the starter failed to work have thought they were starting through the aid of nagneto ignition. In reality the bat tery. although weakened furnished this tutiSE. Aut pitSeht tilSihe Ao oO iai 5C hat it is practically impossible to crank it rapidly enough to generate sparkling current with the magneto.
 Most important, however. is the fact that every safeguard possible to con serve the battery current has been de- vised. When the car is left in a locked position the battery automatically is disconnected from the engine and the head lamps are shut off. The small bulbs used for signal purposes, at night can be turned on however. They consume so little current that there is no danger of battery depletion.
 The new double battery system was incorporated in the Dual-yalve Six only after exhaustive tests had been

WORLDS LARGEST
 ELECTRICAL S|CN IS FISK BOOSTER

Since Edison first "electrifeid' the world by his invetnion of the prin- ciple of electric illumination, the use of the electric light has gone forward ay leaps and bounds.
 Yet nowhere has development been more manifest than in the increasing number of electric signs reared out ward and upward from the buildings along the main stem of every city and town. It is a matter of fact that travelling men have become accus- toned to making their first judgment of the size and prosperity of a city by observing the number of electric signs displayed.
 Broadway, New York, of course is the most brilliant electric thoroughfare in the world, and on it may be seen electric lights, moving words that travel across the sky in never ending chain, and other signs in every color and every shape and size.
 The largest electric sgin in the world is located on this famous thoroughfare The largest single electric word is there near 54th street in the sign ad- vertising Fisk tires. This mammoth word of four letters FISK" measures 1gS feet in width and each letter 3S feet high. The letter "I' for instance is more than eight feet in width.
 This sign, too, besides being the larg- est single electric word in the world is perhaps the most popular of all that !igit the great White Way, incorror- ating as it does the much talked of Time to- Retire Boy, which the manu- lecturers of that tire have used so ex- tensively in all their advertising.

As I pressed through the gaping crowd, thinking of the doughty deeds and bat ties which Monsieur Le Grand had drummed to me. my heart beat the general march" And the em- peror with his cortege rode directly down the avenue. The emperor wore his invisible green uniform and the litele world renowned hat. He rode a white palfrey, which stepped with such calm pride. so confidently. so nobly The emperor sat carelessly, almost lazily, holding with one hand his rein and with the other good na- turedly batting the neck of the horse. A smile which warmed and tranquilized every heart fitted over the lips-and yet all knew that those lips needed but to whistle, ct al Prusse n'existait plus. The brow was not so clear. the phantoms of future bat tie were nesting there.
 The emperor rode calmly straight through the avenue; no policeman stopped him: behind, his cortege rode proudly, loaded with gold and orna : ments the trumpets pealed and the multitude cried with a thous- and voices, "Ese lebe der kaiser" Long live the emperor).

COOLING PROPERTIES
 OF DORT UNEXCELLED

After running first in its class in the Stockton Yosemite reliability run and second in it's class in the Los Angeles Yosemite reliability run, the same Dort car has hung up a wonderful record in a round trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
 Before this event, the Dort had shown remarkable cooling that it was affectionately dubbed Cucumber Kate a name that was quickly taken up by California motordom-and which now promsies to stick.
 In the road test between Los An geles and San Francisco, the perform ance of Cucumber Kate" was dis tinguished by an average running speed of 31.3 miles per hour over a distance of 926 miles, this brisk gait being maintained with the radiator being replenshied with water only once
 Although there was no intention of making a speed record, it is interest ing to note that Cucumber Kate beat the time on this trip of both the fast railroad trains running between the two cities. Cucumber Kate" was driven in this test by Louis Nikrent with OttoNC. Gutsmithe as official A. A. A. observer.
 Before undertaking the above, this same car had made four trial tours to the Yosemite. and return, concededly one of the most difficult drives in America due both to poor roads and hard grades. The annual contests held over these roads are considered real tests of motor car efficiency.
 They are particularly gruelling tests of the cooling properties of a car and in this respect the Dort led all others in it's class in both the Stockton and Los Angeles runs. In the Los An geles run, a distance of 3S2 miles, but one gallon of water was poured into the Dort radiator

Thus it is offered to the public with a con- fidence that it excels the former sys- tenn, besides retaining all it's merits.
 The new transmission marks an other forward stride of similar inn portance. It was designed to facilitate scar changing.
