but his fringe of hair is still of the hue of

His voice is of silvery elearness, his
oratory pleasing as ever, but somehow, he

IN A WORLD OF MACHINERY
A Thought That Strikes One Who
Goes Round the Clock.
From the Omaha News.

From the Omaha News.
| After taking an exhaustive survey

| that the machinery business would
| be a pretty good line to he in.
Figure it out for yourself.
You get up in the morning. array
yourself in garments butt from ma :
chine-made cloth, eat some machine
made breakfast food. drink some ma
chine cut coffee, read a newspaper
! that remarkable machinery has mad :
possible. take machine known as
! a street car to your Office building,
where an elevating mechanism holStS
you to the floor on which you me-
chanically go through the days tasks.
You can write your letters by die
tating them to a machine from which
girl pounds them out on another
machine. A little contraption stand
ing on your desk carries your voice
to various parts of the city and brings
the conversation of friends and busl-
ness acquaintances to your ear. On
dark days you illuminate the gloom
by electric light, generated in vast
machine-driven power pant.
At night some friend takes you
home in a four-whee.ed machine
which is mechanical marvel-is
gets such startlingly enormous
mileage from gallon of Sas-at
least to hear said friend tell about it.
You read another newspaper also
printed on machinery. of course. For
the evening meal you have a soup
skillfully canned by some mechanical
process. some other canned goods
and ice cream made by a lot of ma
chinery in a big pant. Them you
go to a movie where mechanism pro-
duces a drama on a silver screen
for your benefit. You finally hop into
bed assembled from lot of parts
made by machinery.
No wonder~the machinery business
looks like a good line to get into. No
wonder man often gets into the
habit of thinking he's good deal of
machine himself.

Z. 1t is possible to use alcohol as
a fuel in automobile engines, but not
practical with present type of car
buretion systems. Alcohol contains
10 per cent water and requires more
heat than gasoline for vaporiZation.
s. The first types of carburetors
were the surface evaporiZatlon and
J the wick type. The modern type of
carburetor is called the automatic.
9-lou can tell if your engine is
working properly by noticing the
color of the smoke which issues from
the exhaust pipe. Black smoke in
dicates poor combustion resulting
from excessive fuel being used. Blue
oil in the cylinders. Gray smoke
means excessive use of cylinder lubri-
cant and too much fuel.
10-The most common reason for c
motor kicking back when being
cranked by hand is because the spark

Progress in Road Making.

From the New York Herald
! There is one American activity that
| is not being delayed by the debate
| over the league of nations. The De-
partment of Agriculture reports that
road building is in full swing. Many
| important projects are is progress;
even greater projects are to follow.
Seeing the advantage of the fifty
fifty federal aid opportunity, states
| in all sections are filing their pro-
posals and receiving their allotments.
Based on reports received from forty
| four of these states, $3.50, 900 was
spent last year on rural roads and
bridges. to which amount should be
added an estimated s14.000.ceO for the
| value of "worked-out taxes and con-
| gate of 100000, 900 was expended out
| side the limits of incorporated cities
and villages 1t does not include
any town sinking fund payments or
| interest on road or bridge bonds.
Our broad overland thoroughfares'
had been allowed to remain in sadly
| neglected condition. Their forced
| use by the breaking down of the
railways during the war brought this
fact sharply to the attention of the
government. Their reconstruction
was provided for by the federal aid
law. and the states have been only
| too glad to take advantage of 1ts
offer of cooperation. 1t is interest
ing to learn that the old national
highway, extending from the Potoma C
to the Mississippi, long stretches of
which are of&hirt and impossible most
of the year. is to be put in fine shape.
Through traffic on this road is said
to be twenty trucks and two hun
dred passenger ears a day. In some
localities the traffic is three times
as great for each kind of vehicle.
The proposed type of surface is
monolithic brick and concrete at an
average cost of 100000 q mile. Forty
bridges will have to be built varying
from twenty-five TO three huhdred
feet in length. Both averages of
travel will soon double after these
improvements have been made. They
are to a considerable degree COM
pleted. as far west as the Indiana
state line.
