HEAT NECESSARY TO
ENGINE S OPERATION
Radiator and Hood Covers Are
Necessary This Kind of Wea-
ther-How to Handle Motor
in Winter.

One of the things most necessary to
the successful operation of a motor is
heat, and we are using heavy
grade of gasoline it is especially inn
portant to have some means of bring
ing the motor heat up quickly, for
holding 1t while running and retaining
1t for as long as possible when the mo-
tor is stopped. To get these results
radiator and hood covers are a neces-
sity of winter equipment. The radia-
tor cover should be made with flap
that completely covers the front OF the
radiator one which can be raised and
lowered at will. The hood cover should
cover the louyres in the side of the
hood and be made so that the hood can
be opened and closed.
When the motor IL stopped for any
length OF time the flap on the radia-
tor cover should be closed to cover
the entire radiator front, and II the
motor remains idle long enough to be-
come cold the flap should be left closed
until the motor heat Is raised to the
desired point Cat least 135 deg. Fair.
Then It may be opened enough to
maintain the temperature between this
point and the boiling point.
by paying particular attention TO
your motor temperature you will save
yourself considerable trouble and an
hoyance Az well ~ expense.

transportation, Just as railroad opera
ton developed traffic operators. Here,
too the educator will play his part, as
the man who goes into this work will
need to be fully equipped not only
with a knowledge of the physical con-
ditions of the territory he selects, but
also with a knowledge of the economic
relationships of transportation in its
various forms, and an understanding of
legal conditions.
las highways transportation grows
in volume and Importance it will tend
to open a vast field for employment in
other countries as well as our own, and
there could be no better assurance of
a sound policy than well grounded
courses on these subjects in our col
leges.
The men who take up these studies
will have to be assured that compen-
sation will be commensurate with time
and labor spent in preparation, but the
savings which they effect will offset
many times the difference in their
earning power"
Mr.. Chapin's interest in this subject

OF LIGHT
MAKES DRIVING SAFE
fitting of Cadillac Headlamps
Eliminates Glare and Gives
Road Better illumination in
Passing Other Cars.

To illuminate the roadway thorough
ly and yet divert the intense light rays
from the eyes of passing motorists has
long been the effort of automotive en-
gineers.
Diminution Of light Is known to Gre
ate grave dangers-because the road
way is not adequately lighted. and the
eyes of the driver are temporarily af-
fected by the sudden change in the in
tensity of the light.
To provide adequate illumination and
at the same time protect the vision of
an approaching driver from glare Cad
lilac engineers have devised a head
light In which the reflector can be
tilted at will.
The fitting is done by means of a
lever on the steering column and a
simple arrangement of rods leading to
the lamps. The light, which normally
Is projected 800 feet, may be DETECTED
so that 1t shines not more than rs feet
ahead of the car. The roadway is thus
intensely Illuminated and the rays of
light DETECTED from the eyes of the
passing motorist. Derangement of the
vision because of sudden dimming of
light Is entirely removed
The great advantage of the Cadillac
fitting headlight is In the safety 1t pro-
vides. Clear vision and adequate illu-
mination are necessary for safe and

substitute for any fuel necessarily de-
rived from coal or oil deposits lies In
the fact that on account of its chief
source being found in the vegetable
world, supplies of raw material for its
manufacture are being continuously

expansion without encroaching upon

committee in it's report. stated
1--WE are Of opinion that steps should
be taken to insure increased produc
ton of power alcohol by the extended
use of the vegetable matters from
which it may be obtained. Important
materials Of this nature are: "a Su

lasses, mahua flowers, sugar beets and
mangolds; CD starch or inluin contain
ing products, such as maize and other
cereals, potatoes and artichokes. and
(3) cellulose- containing products such
as peat, sulphite wood pulp. lyes and
wood.
I'VE have received interesting evil
dence from the director of commerce
and industries to H. E. H., the Nizam
of Hyderabad (Deccan) concerning
achieved production costs and yields
of power alcohol from the flowers Of
the mahua tree (Bassia latifolia) that
flourishes in the central provinces as
well as in Hyderabad.
MAHuA TREES SOURCE
The witness stated that the sun
dried lowers of this tree contain on
the average so per cent by weight of
fermentable sugar; that they can be
collected and delivered to the factory
in the zone Of growth at $7.25 per ton,
and that the yield on proper fermenta-
ton and distillation is found to be
about 80 gallons of alcohol COS per
cent by volume ABSOLUTELY per ton. He
further stated that the flowers can be
pressed, packed, exported and stored
for long periods without deterioration.
We also understand that cultivation of
the mahua tree has not as yet been at
tempted, and that there may therefore
be possibilities of increased production
by cultural treatment.
The large scale cultivation of mahua
and other cereals as raw material for
the manufacture of power alcohol
has admitted possibilities as to the full
extent of which we have been unable
to complete our inquiries, but 1t would
appear that prospective production of
alcohol from these sources In the over
seas dominions and other parts of the
empire is encouraging, both as regards
quantities and cost
seeing that one ton OF potatoes VIII
yield only 20 gallons Of 95 per cent al
cohol, while the yield from artichokes
is only very slightly heavier, we are OF
opinion that, having regard even to
the pre-war prices of potatoes and ar
tichokes in the United Kingdom, pow
er alcohol cannot be produced in this
country from these sources on a COM
mercial basis except under some sys-
tenn of state subvention. Similar con-
siderations apply also to the sugar beet
and mangel crops.

Highway engineering Is rapidly be-
coming recognized as one of the i'm
portant courses in the curriculum of
the technical college, according to Roy
D. Chaplin. former chairman OF the
highways transport committee Of the
council of national defense.
"A survey conducted under the d.
rection of the commissioner of educa-
ton at Washington has disclosed the
fact that of 127 technical schools 11b
are now giving courses of one kind or
another in this work." said Mr.. Chaplin.
The bureau of education is evidencing
an active interest in the furtherance
of this work, and am told that every
effort is being made to bring about a
higher standard in all of the schools.
"There is scarcely any movement
which could be more important at this

The report of the British inter-de-
partmental committee on the produc-
ton and utilization of power alcohol,
which was recently made public, rec
commended the establishment of gov
eminent organization to initiate and
supervise experimental and practical
development work on the subject. and
the London Times says that such an
organization, with funds, is to be set
up under the department for scientific
