ton is designed to prevent autOmO-
bileS used in mountain touring from
running backwards down steep roads
should anything go wrong with the
regular brakes.
1t is the invention Of George Stick
ney of Oregon. 1t consists Of har-
rOw-like frame suspended from a
crOSswiSe shaft pivoted to the chassis
frame directly back of the engine and
lowered into contact with the road by
mems of II system of levers controlled
by Il hand lever and notched quad
rant in the drivers cab. The sharp,
tooth-like points of the harrow dig in
to the ground and hold the car in
place until the engine can be started
again and the clutch thrown in. They
also serve to hold the car until it gets
under way. This eliminates the dam
ger Of starting Under the same condi-
tion without the device. in which case
the conventional brakes must be re-
leased before the clutch is thrown in.
This might allow the car to gain sufti-
cicnt backward momentum to prevent
the engine from starting and permit
the ear To drop off the road if the
brakes cannot hold it.-Popular Sci

The total road mileage of the

miles. With total registration of
6.146.617 motor vehicles there was.
therefore. an average of 2.5 motor

Of cars among the several states. how

16 cars to each mile Of rural road.
Furthermore. while there was an aver
age of one mOtOrcar registration for
every 16 persons in the United States.
in the states Of California and Ne

Chihuahua Is Smallest.

Of dogs is the chihuahua. which is also
one of the most intelligent Of all the
canine family. This breed is a product
Of Mexico and Is named after north.

of these little dogs running wild and
multiplying each year. 1t seems Il re.

fact that they have never had any

from native to realize that the Mexi.
cans know the worth of this dog of his
own country. How these dogs were
bred probably never will be known.
Some authorities have intimated that
they were bred some generations back
from large squirrels, and this view is
borne out by the fact that at one time
these dogs ran wild In the woods and
that the chihuahua Is nearly as pro.
