comparina ths Fuels.

An authority on tho subject says
that tho relative economy Of coal and
oil -busning equipment depends great
ly upon tho cost and availability OF
the two fuels.
For the determination OF the COM
parative economy q simple formula
has been stated which says that when
the cost OF oil in cents per gallon IL
one half the cost Of coal In dollars
per long ton the cost Of generating
q given amount Of power n about
the same for the two kinds Of fuel.
This does not take into account the
differences In labor In the two cases.
which will be moro favorable to OIL.
With this rule It Is assumed that oil
has 1900 btu. per pound and the
coal contains 1890 btu. per pound.
Where the load factor is low, OIL
will undoubtedly be preferable a. q
fuel to coal, provided that the supply
Of oil 10 adequate. On the other
hand, whore tho power factor IL high
the use Of coal IL most likely to he
more economical. While It IL very
difficult to assign fixed values to
such comparisons, = load factor Of
about 80 per cent seems to be the
dividing line above which GOAL Will
probably show an advantage. and be-
low which oil will bo preferable from
tho economic standpoint. 81
It has been found from experience
that the best method OF atomizing
fuel oil Is with steam, which method
Is the most economical.

nal. In other words the law says
that the driver of the slower moving
car must hear the signal and must
turn ont and not hog the road
The law fixes maximum loads at
800 pounds per inch of tire tina,
actually comes in contact with the
surface of any road surfaced with
concrete. brick, etc. and 400 nonds
per inch OF tire in contact with any
road of dirt or gravel.
The maximum width Of any motor
vehicle and it's load Is set at eigh,
feet, excepting loads OF loose hay
straw or similar farm products.
Operating motor vehicles while in
toxicated Is made a misdemeanor
and leaving the place where his car
has caused an accident without CIV
ing his name and address and CIV
ing aid to the injured is made a
felony. Not only does the law pro-
vide the usual punishment for con-
viction both for driving car while
drunk and failure to stop in case OF
an accident, but It provides that q
certificate Of registration shall not be
issued to persons SO convicted. The
law provides for tho motor depart
ment Of the secretary Of state to
keep a record OF all convictions for
infractions of the automobile law DO
that certificates OF resignation win
not be issued to those who break the
law.

What's What
IN Iowa Auto Law
NEW SPEED LIMIT.
OPERATING THE CAR

In addition to establishing an arbi-
tration law for the right -of-wa for
automobiles at intersections, the new
law Axes q maximum speed limit Of
thirty miles an hour and that speed
| 10 legal for cars and load combined
that weigh less than three tons. The
| law specifies that cities and towns
may establish speed limits lower
than the maximum fixed on tho new
law, but no ordinance is valid that
dxes rates Of speed that are higher.
The maximum rate Of speed OF
thirty miles for motor vehicles and
load not Weighing more than three
tons, Axes the speed limit for prac-
tically all passenger cars. but the
provision is made that this maximum
applies only to cars equipped with
pneumatic tires. gor those equipped
with solid tires the Limit Is twenty
