AUTO SKELETONS SIREWN
ON ROAD OF 1000 WASHES

Between the town OF Topock. on
the east bank of the Colorado river
in Arizona, and Yucca, a distance OF
thirty miles, on the Santa Fe trail,
is the road Of a thousand washes"
This portion OF the trail passes
through a desolate sandy desert,
which is replete with arroyos, or dry
washes" caused by the terrific down
pouTs OF rain which come but a few
times during one season OF the year.
The almost endless succession Of
crossings OF these washes is bound
TO test any car, and all along this
section are strewn broken car parts
and decrepit tire castings.
This route was travelled by the
Goodyear transcontinental trucks on
their return from San Francisco to
Boston. which due to their big pneu-
matte tire equipment, covered these
forbidding thirty miles at night, with
cut mishap or delay OF any kind.
When these trucks arrived at King
man. Ariz., automobile and truck men
declared their wonderful performance
would have been unbelievable had not
the actual evidence appeared before
them.

HOW TO REMEDY
CARBON TROUBLES

Blow outs; -punctures, garage bills.
and carbon come pretty close to sum
ming up the tate of woe of the aver
age motor car owner. The hrst three
seem to be more or less Inevitable In
this mundane sphere. but II. A, TaraH-
tous. IN the March issue OF Iotor. tue
nsttonaI magazine Of motoring. dls-
cusses the whole subject OF carbon so
eonprehensiYely that the miserable
substance seems to have little chan:e
for continued existencea-if his aoYNl'
n taken.
Mr. Tarantous sums up the really
effectiys methods or removing carbon
SIS follows: Hand-scraping. the oxy-
gen method. pfoprietary compounds
and chain removal.
. .FThe fact that so many OF our e.
stnes today<are ftted with detachable
beads, says this writer, makes Il
possible to scrape the piston tops and
cylinder head with hand scrapeTs or
rutty knife. tire operator washing the
work all the time. This IL the local
and only positive method or removing
carbon. All the owner has TO do is
to remove and replace the cylinder
head. for no one will need to be told
low to use the scraping tools once ne
has seen them" @
On the other hand. IL the owner
wants a quick job or the cylinder head
Of his engine is not detachable. the
OXYGEN method is very satisfactory
In this case the operator forces a
,tream OF oxygen into the cylinder,
through the spark plug opening. The
,xygen is lighted by a match. In this
intense flams the carbon burns,
throwing out meanwhile a stream Of
sparks.
Still another method is the prOprie-
airy compound. which is poured into
TIE cylinders, directions varying for
the different makes, the engine is run
a certain length Of time and the COM
pound loosens the carbon. In this con-
nection the writer warns. that there
are many compounds on the market
which are absolutely worthless. 90
that the car owner must be careful to
get one with an established reputs-
ton.
Finally there ia the, chain method.
: small steel chain is dropped into
the combustion chamber and the .eu-
CINE Is run for a greater or less tins.
The chain being flung around by the
motion Of the piston. chips off the
czkbon. After the operation Is com.
pIeted the chain is fished out Of the
cylinder by a hook especially devised
for the job.

Feature. of Lexington.

The chassis length OF the Lexing-
ton is 122 inches, admirably suited
to the variety of bodies mounted
upon 1t. The light weight of the
chassis, coupled with its exceptional
strength. is 3 Iso one of its features,
the, frame. differing from the con-
ventional types in that its units are
integral. thus eliminating over 100
I.arts that are ordinarily bolted on.
The touring car is a fashionable, de-
pendable family car. the. two extra
folding seats giving it elastic seat
ing capacity and the front seats be-
ling individual. The equipment Of
this and all Lexingtons Is more than
ordinarily complete. The upholstery
is of the finest quality Of hair and
felt over coiled springs. Each of the
four doors has a large, roomy pocket.
The top is OF the one-man type, with
curtains that open with the doors and
folding in an envelope suspended
above the ;tonneau when not in use.
Tho tourabout is of low. graceful,
distinctive design, the rear seat being
almost as wide as that Of the touring
car and the front seat being solid
without an aisle way.
The convertible sedan is twelve
months car. attording protection in
winter, and in summer, by removal
OF the panels and framework, being
practically converted into q touring
car. In the closed types this year
they have an exceptionally attractive
line. The. three-passenger coupelet
is very light for a closed car and has
appealed particularly to purchasers
because OF its economical operation.
The plate glass windows may be let
down. making it an "openable" car
The fourIpassenEer coupe really seats
four comfortably. One of the seats
may DE dropped out of sight, making
il still more luxuriously roOmy.

A Light sedanette.

+ The fOUT-pGssenger sedanette is
scarcely heavier than an open car of
the same size, giving an idea OF the
scientific way in which Lexington en-
gineers have kept down closed car
weight. There are two deep individ-
uaI seats in front and an extra wide
seat for two in the rear. All Of the
side glasses drop into grooves, max
ing an open car. The fve-passenger
sedan is a family car with two good
extra seats, increasing the capacity
to seven. 1t has an aisleway between
the front seats. The plate glass win
dows can be dropped and all side
posts removed, the. cOnvertibility Of
these cars being a noted feature. The
most luxurious of the Lexington clos
ed cars is the limousine-brougham
seating seven passengers, including
the auxiliary seats.

Washington, Feb. 6.y-Elihu Root,
honorary president of the National Sc
curity league, defended the work of
the organization during the last con-
gressional campaign in testifying to-
day before the special house commit
leagues political activities.
Mr.. Root asserted that the sole pur-
pose of the league had been to edu-
cate the voters of the country regard

Reasons why the Security league
opposed the election of Henry Ford
as senator from Michigan, were ad-
vanced by Mr.. Root.
MIR. Ford was a pacitst," Mr.. Root
said. "lIc Maa against the war, and
I he made public utterances which in
my opinion made it of great import
ance for the successful prosecution of
the war that he be defeated
"After war was declared Mr. Ford

II disagree with President Wilson

"Well?" you can't classify Mr..
Ford as disloyal, can you?" asked Mr..
Browne.
II think he came to the very, very
verge of being disloyal, il he didn't go
over" Mr.. Root stated.
Asked by Mr. Browne If the Secur-
ity league had not "meddled in poll
tics" in opposing the nomination of

that the league considered it its duty

Mr.. Root resented the imputation
that the National Security league had
been organized in the interests of
munition makers and others who
would benefit by the war.
"There are no greater enemies to
the country than the men who made
great profits out of the war" he said,
"and it is inconceivable that the
league supported them or worked in
their interests. | cannot find strong
enough terms to deny the imputation.' .
"Do you consider impossible that
the league had Interior motives when

committee was broker interested in

"Yes, impossible answered Mr..

PL0YMENT FOR
ALL LABOR SURE
BY SUMMER TIME
Surplus Of Men Now Seeking
Jobs Not Alarming; Building
Industry and Factories Ex-
pected to Start Up Soon.


Washington, Feb. 6.-~Feafs of long
continued unemployment were dis
counted today in a statement by the
training service department of the de-
partment of labor, which predicted
that when agricultural and Industrial
concerns get under way in the spring
there will! be a shortage of several
million men Manufacturers were
urged to begin at once a training pro-
gram to increase the efficiency of the
help they now have in anticipation
of the shortage to come later.
The statement said practical cessa-
ton of immigration in the last four
years had caused loss of 2,500,0 900
new inhabitants and that probably
1000, 600 American workers would be
under arms in France for many
months. Estimating that farming In
the spring would need 100000 men
and that factories and building OPP
erations would require large numbers,
officials said there soon would be
keen competition between factories
and farmers for unskilled labor.
Similar views were expressed today
before the house appropriation COM
mittee by Assistant Secretary Post and
John B. Densmore, director general
of the federal employment service.
They appeared to urge an appropria-
ton of s14, 900. 900 for the work of
the employment service during the
next fiscal year and a deficiency ap-
preparation Of $2,500,000 for this
year.
The Officials said the increasing
labor surplus in large Industrial CEN
ters shown by reports to the depart
ment of labor was not regarded as
presenting a serious situation as quick
Industrial adustmTsit was expected
throughout the Wountry and there
then would be ample work for all
They gave no estimate OF present
number of unemployed.

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN,
WAR OVER, COMES
FROM SECLUS|0N
Former Secretary of State,
Who Retired Rather Than
Anger Germany Tells How
to Solve Railroad Problem.


Washington, Feb. G.-Plans for the
solution of the railroad problem were
presented to the National Rivers and
Harbofs congress To-Day by William
j. Bryan, Luther NJ. Walter of CHI
cago, general counsel for the Rail-
road security holders organization,
and other speakers. Improvement of
port facilities was urged by Secretary
of Commerce Redfield.
In presenting a dual plan of state
and government ownership of rail-
roads, Mr.. Bryan predicted that the
roads would be returned to private
ownership on the same basis as that
existing when they were taken over
by the government.
"The railroads do not want this"
said Mr. Bryan, NOR has such a plan
any advocates, but it is likely to be
accepted because no other plan will
he accepted by a majority"
Mr.. Bryan's plan contemplated
ownership by the government of trunk
lines, so as to give every state an out
let for its goods with the distrib-
uting railroads under state ownership.
William K. Wheeler of san Francis
CO. former assistant secretary of COM
merce, and Frank Lyon of Washing
ton, engaged in debate on freight
rates for inland waterways and rail-
roads. Lyon urged abolition of the
rate war between water and rail trans
portation, while Mr. Wheeler spoke on
the question of lower rates to points
on waterways and the maintenance
Of much higher rates to inland
points.
Secretary Redfield declared in fa-
vor of wise expenditure of public
money for better waterways and har-
bors facilities, He said radical inn
provement would have to be made if
America was to compete successfully
for the worlds commerce.
Walker d. Hines, director general
of railroads. was to have addressed
the congress today, but was detained
before the senate interstate commerce
committee.
