ESSEX MAKES A NEW
TRANSCONTINENTAL RECORD

The Essex now holds the coveted
transcontinental record. On August
9th an Essex fve-passenger touring
car reached New York from San
Francisco covering the distance of
S347 miles in just four days, IA hours
and 43 minutes, beating the best
previous record of another car by IL
hours and 48 minutes.
At the same time an Essex travel
ing from New York to San Francisco
made the transcontinental run in
four days, 10 hours and IL minutes,
beating the best time eastward by
over % hours.
It is the first time that an auto
mobile has been permitted to carry
mail across the continent, and every

KILLARNEY A VICTIM
OF THE RAILWAYS

Dublin, Aug. Killarney and
other tourists resorts in Ireland
which have been expecting a big in
flux of American visitors. are exper-
fencing some disappointment on ac-
count of the disruption of the rail-
ways, owing to the refusal of the men
to carry armed police and soldiers.
This has caused slackening in the
number of persons travelling, but the
final blow came when the military de-
cided to take over the hotels to replace
the barracks which the Sim Feiners
had destroyed. 1t is announced that
soldiers have occupied two of the
largest hotels in Killarney and are
erecting wireless station there.

AMERICAN SHIPS CAN'T
FIND RETURN CARGOES

Buenos Aires, July 23.-American
vessels in the River Plate trade have
suffered serious losses by being un-
able to find return cargoes IN many
cases because of the refusal of port
workers to handle wool and hides out
of sympathy with strikers in the wool
and hides markets. according to ship
ping men. This strike has continued
for several months and as a result
almost no wool and hides are being
moved. Normally these two items
furnish many return cargoes for Ann
erican vessels and the continued
strike has put ships to loss of time
and cargo. The result. according to
shipping men, is that a number of
ships are being diverted and that
charter prices are more or less un-
stable.

High Cost of Living Hits tie Turkish
Harems a Heavy BLOW


Constantinople, July 26-Corres-

Nowhere has the high cost of living
been felt more keenly than "a Turk

abel to maintain many wiz d
concubines find their incone
lent to keep up large esta
and are forced to turn s
women adrift.
American women reIi
who have been investigating soe

edies Turkish women have under
gone as a result of the war are even
worse than in other European coun-
tries because of the utter helpless
ness of women and their lack Of train
ing which might make them self-
supporting.
The sufferings of Moslem women
are worse in cities than ID the coun-
try, for the country women are fre-
quently trained to do farm work and
are an asset to their Husbands rather
than liability. Furthermore the
economic conditions have not been
disturbed so seriously III rural dis

Since the war has robbed 50 many

have forced themselves INTO employ

PORCELAIN COINS WILL
NOT BE ISSUED

Berlin, August 3.-The proposal to
manufacture porcelain coin to the
amount of 6O,O0O.OO0 marks for the
German republic has been abandoned.
Some already had been produced at
the Meissen mandatory and were
disks of terra Gotta color unglazed
and unmilled but of faultless artistic
imprint. Experts of the Reichsbank,
however, advised the government
against their adoption, mainly on the
ground that they would be unwieldly
in the pocket or purse, could not be
easily distinguished by touch and
could not be counted with existing
counting machinery.
One of the most important points
raised in opposition to their use was
that they might be initiated without
particular difficulty except for de-
gree of hardness which could only be
ascertained by tests by experts in
porcelain.

TOOK sAUIs OLD HOME TOWN
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
FARMERS DELVING INTO
THE RAIL CAR SITUATION

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The first sur
vey of freight cars ever taken by the
farmers of a state has just been COM
pleted through the Illinois Agricul-
turaI Association, Secretary d. o.
Thompson announced today. On the
basis of this census he said Illinois
farmers did not believe there was a
car shortage. II g trouble with trans
portation he characterized as "im-
mobility" and he declared the farm
ers meant to find out whose fault it
was.
Secretary Thompson said the as
sociation undertook its census after
receiving reports from farmers over
the state that they saw many cars
standing idle on country tracks.
"Members of the association made
daily records of the car initials and
numbers Of all cars at 494 stations
located in 46 different counties for
seven consecutive days." the state
farm bureau executive said, "Of these
494 stations, LAG or 29.5 per cent re-
ported some of the same cars on
tracks the last day of the count as
were on the tracks the first day of
the count.
"At all stations, 1924 cars were
listed the first day and of these cars,
938 out of 1894 cars had not been
moved from the country point for
seven consecutive days. This is just
a little over 10 per cent of the cars
at such points.
mo count was made in Chicago.
In several other large yards the as
sociation enumerators were elected
from the yards by railroad officials.
"Mine operators say they were
forced to idleness many days each
week leading to the strike of the
miners which recently tied up the
mines just when the farmers were
needing coal for threshing. At this
same time before the strike in Chris
tian county, at Clarksdale and at
Willeys, two trains of coal cars total
ing So cars were reported empty at
both first and last days of the count.
IF we may take the total number
of freight cars of the country on Dec.
81, 1918, as a basis for computation
and consider that the percentage of
immobility Of cars is as great in Chi
cago, Toledo and New York as in
country points like Clarksdale, Fidel-
ity and Low Point, it is very mod
crate when we say that the total
number of new cars which the rail
roads say they need to meet the
transportation requirements of The
present moment, is not patch to the
total of immobile cars now idling By
the weeks and months in terminal
yards and on side tracks at country
points.
''This survey shows pretty clearly
to the farmers of Illinois the excuse
of ear shortage is largely camou
fage, given to cover up some real
damfS reason for the present trans
pofs1on inefficiency. And to search
for that reason will be the next joI

SAYS CAR RUNS
BEST AT NIGHT
Authority on Engineering Ex-
plains Effect of Cool AtmoS-
phere on Motor.
COMBUSTION MORE PERFECT
Evening Air Estimated to Make Diff
ference of About Per Cent In
Power of Engine-Produces
More Powerful Impulse.

Speaking in a general sense, q mo-
tor ought to run better at night than
In the daytime. Whether it does so or
not has been a matter of argument be-
tween motorists ever since motorists
existed, and one readily remembers
columns Of discussion that lasted for
years In almost all the early automo-
bile magazines.
Really, the thing Is very simple,
says that engineering authority, A.
Ludlow Clayden, In Motor Life. One
is liable to forget that two things are
burned In a gasoline motor-gasollne
and air. Neither can burn without
the other. Also to get the best and
most powerful combustion the proper
tons Of gasoline to air cannot vary,
very much. To one cylinder full Of air
just so much gasoline and no moro can
be added.
Cylinder Full of Air.
To one cylinder full Of airl What
Is a cylinder full? The answer Is that
1t all depends upon what you I'LL 1t
from. Everybody knows that when
driving in very high attitudes the rare
fed air causes q noticeable loss Of
power; anyone who has driven at g.
600 feet elevation cannot fail to have
observed this.
Now, the real reason for the loss Of
power is that owing to the rarefying
effect of the altitude, the piston can
only suck in a smaller amount Of air
which will only carry with 1t small
er amount of gasoline, and so will
only produce more feeble explosion.
OF course, the volume Of air taken In
on the suction stroke is just the same
whatever the altitude, but its weight
is less in proportion as the altitude
Increases and the ratio for best COM
bustion is between the weight of the
fuel and the weight Of the air neces-
sary to insure reasonably complete
combustion.
Heat Rarefies Air.
Other things have the same effect
as altitude. For instance, heat rare
fies air by expanding 1t SO that on q
hot day the air charge which an en-
CINE can breathe in Is smaller In
weight than 1t would be on cold day.
In testing airplane engines 1t La an In
variable practice to make an allow
ance for the temperature Of the at
mosphere because the difference in
power Is quite appreciate. With a
300 horsepower engine a variation OF
15 horsepower or more can easily oc-
cur by reason Of nothing else but
change In the air temperature.
Here is one of the principal reasons
why an automobile motor does run
better at night. Night air Is almost
always cooler than day air, SO at night
the engine can get heavier charge
and 80 produce a more powerful Inn
pulse at each explosion.
