DESERT RAT VISITS
PLACE He MET I. R.

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 3O.-King
Stanley, old-time scout, prospector,
guide and desert rat, yesterday re-
visited the little cottonwood cabin in
which, almost forty years ago, he
first met the late Col Theodore
Roosevelt, and that visit opened a
whole string Of "reminiscences Of the
early days when Bismarck was prin-
cipally a collection of dance halls,
saloons, and gambling houses, lining
the river bank, and when the Mis-
souri, was the jumping off place Of
civilization.
Colonel Stanley, who bears his title
by courtesy OF Congress, which in
formally conferred the honor upon
him, the late Col. William A. Cody
CBuftalo BID and white Hawk" now
better known in his Wisconsin home
as doc" Powell, arrived in Bismarck
after a 1O,OOO-mile journey by Max
well from Los Angeles. And he was
rather fused when he reached the
Capital City, for, between Cleveland
and Medina, passing through the
Miller slough on the Red Trail, he
encountered his first accident since
leaving Los Angeles, about three
months ago.

'twasn't Jimmy's fault" referring to

MOST AUTOOWNERS
ENGINE IGNORANT.

It is surprising how few drivers Of
automobiles really know how the
power is generated inside of the cyl
inders of their motors. according to
J. M. Crawford, chief engineer for the
Allen Motor Company. "There is
.scarcely one driver Of an automobile
in a hundred that really knows what
makes his car run. Practically all Of
them when questioned viii say that
the motor is operated by explosions in
the cylinders Of their car.
at is strange that such common
misunderstanding could be so far
from the real condition. In reality
there is nothing resembling an eXplo-
sion, but instead a burning of gaso-
line vapor. Gas vapor upon being
heated expands many times its own
volume. Thus every engine is really
a heat engine and derives its power
from converting the fuel vapor into
heat When the gas in quickly burned
a tremendous force is exerted which
results in the impulses upon the pis-
tons Of the motor,
"The reason for advancing the
spark is to hasten the ignition Of the
gas vapor in the cylinders. If the
gas exploded and burned instantane-
ously this could not be done, for the
motor would knock or run backward.
But compared to the operation Of the
motor the burning is slow and must
be started before the piston reaches
the top of its upward stroke. Thus
by the time the piston begins its
downward journey the full force Of
the expanding gas is being utilized.

"WelI. you see. fellows like Cody

Congress was considering passing a
law to make 1t a crime for anybody to
wear a military title he wasn't en-
titled to. They had a good deal of fun
at the expense of the Kentucky
colonels," but finally Bafnbridge got

TEST OF TIRE merit

Some Of the technical suggestions
offered to the tire public today for
making scientific tests OF tires right
at home bring memories Of the days
a score OF years ago when the bak-
ing powder companies had representa-
tives going from house to house
boosting their own goods and show
ing the poor quality Of competitive
lines.
The representative Of one baking
powder company visited housewife
and, using many bewildering chemi-
family was in danger OF slow but
sure death If she used a baking
powder which fixed when combined
with a certain chemical. The agent

WEIGHT OF TIRE. is NO
INDICATION OF QUALITY

Mere weight in an automobile tire
is no Indication Of quality. AS a mat
ter of fact exceptional weight in a
tire may be one Of the surest proofs
Of its inferiority.
The weight OF a tire depends large
" on the materials that are mixed
in with the rubber in the course OF
manufacture. High specific gravity
in rubber compositions can be caused
only by the use OF a large percentage
Of heavy compromising materials:
Tire experts know that all parts Of
the casing except the tread give long
er service IL they are.Smade with the
addition of very little cOmpounding
materials.
Another fact well known to the ex-
perts is that in making the tread the
greatest toughness and durability can
be secured by adding ingredients that
are relatively light
The tire user can readily see that
there is, therefore, no reason why
tires should be heavy in order to be
strong. OF two tires of equal dimen-
sions the lighter is an all probability
the stronger.

SHORT RAILROADS

c. A. Morse, assistant director Of
operation Of the United States Rail-
way Administration and one OF the
best-known railroad men in America,
believes that the motor car may doom
the short rail lines Of the country.
'"The perfection Of the motor truck,
together with the universal use OF the
automobile, has introduced a new ele-,
ment in the transportation problem
that should be taken into considera-
ton at this time, while studying the
reorganization Of the whole transpor-
tation system" said Mr.. Morse.
Where, heretofore, the develop
ment OF the country for fifty miles on
either side Of a trunk line has re-
ouired the construction Of light branch
lines. IL is a question to be seriously
considered whether this policy should
be continued or whether the products
Of the farm should not be handled by
motor car to the main lines"
Purchases Increase.
The situation described by Mr.. Morse
IS not surprising to makers Of motor
cars designed especially for farmers
needs. Purchases by farmers of busi-
ness cars OF medium capacity have in
creased enormously during the past
year.
Its wide touring radius and low
haulaEe cost have enabled the farmer
not only to curtafl freight charges on
purchases Of building material, imple-
ments, seed, groceries, etc, but to
take immediate advantage Of top
prices at the most advantageous mar
lets.
Even sheep and calves are rapidly
transported to markets fifty miles dis
tant without the delay incident to the
use OF the railroads.
Horses inefficient,
During the war a prominent engi- |
neeT made the statement that the |
horse was Sae most inefficient machine |
iWsed in America. No one has been /
tEuiclker TO recognize this than the /
warmer. The short haulage radius OF

portation. Having purchased a bust I
ness car to replace his expensive /
horses, the farmer now hnds that the /
par is beginning 20 replace the rail-
iEoads.
when the question Of surface roads
tPEas brought up, Mr.. Morse continued:

are completed, Of taking up many Of /
The branch line railroads and utilizing /

lu1otor roads. There Is no denying that

In our largest centers of fashion the
lovely summer is brief and we are
not allowed chance to forget that it
is so. In the heart of it, by the time
August arrives, a new array of fall
clothing is presented and preparations
for fall Quitting well underway; all
for the benefit of young women who
will be returning to school or college
and school children getting back to
their desks in September Not that
anyone comes out in wintry apparel,
or even hint of it, but new suits and
hats, blouses and skirts are all on dis
play so that when the time comes to
wear them styles are established and
women know what they want.
Two new aspirants for favor, among
models Of fall blouses, are shown in
the picture. They ought TO please
the college girl for their style is suited
to her, and they are excellent enough
to compel the attention OF the most
sophisticated dresser. A little study
OF the new blouses reveals neat effects
in trimming as an outstanding feature
in them. Fine tucks, run in parallel
rows, with beautiful precision and
evenness, feather stitching and other
simple needle work. very accurately
placed, are the favorite decorations Cor
them. The blouse at the left Of the
picture shows the effectiveness Of
tucks and plalts IN a model that is
made Of georgette crepe. It Is q slip

OF tucks above the hem and waistline
and about the sleeves and fine side
plaits at each side of the front panel.
The blouse at the right, Of fine white
wolfe, has a wide plait down the front
and wide clusters of narrow tucks at
each side. Its collar and cuffs are
covered with tucks and edged with a
narrow, substantial lace. It fastens at
the front under the plat and is not
extended below the waistline.
Whatever else may be in store for
us in new blouses, we cannot hope for
anything more tasteful and elegant
than these.
