PROPERLY PROUD OF HOTEL
Citizens of Alexandria, La, Have
Right to Boast of Their Mag
nificent Caravansary.

Alexandria, La is known through
out the South as the little town with
the big hotel. Strangers always re
mark the incongruity of the metropol'
itan edifice apparently fallen by acct
dent into this quiet little place.
1t seems that in Alexandria's ante
hotel days, a wealthy man and his
small dog were stopping at the town
inn. One day the innkeeper and guest
had lively argument over the dog. Its
owner replied that he ~and his dog
would not be among those present at
the inn in the future and departed
proudly, intimating darkly that the
innkeeper would be sorry. He then
made good his threat by building a
hotel such as Alexandria had never
master took up their residence and
gathered to themselves all the tran
silent trade of the town.
Alexandria wears it's hotel proudly,
q trife self-consciously. It is the
show place of the town and its as
sertive stone grandeur commands re-
spect and Difference. town that
boasts a hotel inclosing marble halls
ending in a grand staircase and a
Spanish patio adorned with a fountain
as an extra attraction must assume
an air of dignity in keeping with its
Importance.
Alexandria's other claim to notice
is the fact that only a few years ago
the Louisiana legislature conducted a
series of spirited arguments as to the
removal of the state capital from
Baton Rouge to Alexandria. In the
end Alexandria lost out and was
forced to console itself with the fame
it acquired from it's big hotel.

De Palma's service in aviation was
brief, as he enlisted couple of months
before the war ended. But it lasted
long enough to give him a well-rounded

Chief Reason Why Bearings Wear

Bearing Trouble-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-
CINE. 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-r0d 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. Ii
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.

and should extend to the center of the

SUCCESS OF RURAL ROUTES
important Factors Which Must be

prepared by the United States Depart

There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner In the field of rural mo-
tor transportation. These four rae
tors are: ~ The volume OF farm
products produced along the contem'
plated route; 81 the volume of mis-
cellaneous hauling which could be Sc
cured to supplement regular loads; ~
competition from other carriers when
would be encountered "a the charac-
fer of the highways over which the
