WANTS SPECIAL CARS
 FOR SHIPPING AUTOS

A suggestion has been made to the heads of the large railroad systems of the country by J. r. Richman, manufacturing manager of the Allen Motor Company Columbus. Ohio, rela- tive to standardized type of freight car to be used in transporting auto mobiles.
 The question is a most pertinent one because of the increasing volume of automobile business and the apparent decrease in the facilities for han ding it.
 MT Richmans suggestion is that all automobile box cars be made seventy five feet in length, mounted on six wheel trucks. If this could be done, it would mean reduction in the cost of the average automobile to the con- sumer because of the decreased cost of transportation.

Mixtures Rich and Lean

From MOlor Ille
 There is nothing mysterious about the terms rich" and 'lean'' mixtures. rich mixture is one with too great pro- portion of gasoline to the amount of air whereas, lean mixture is possessed Of less fuel than it should have for proper combustion.
 an over rich mixture will cause over Y~ating of the engine, to say nothing of Narbon accumulation and such other ills as pre-ignition. loss of power, lack of ac- celerative ability and loading up at low speeds.
 At high speeds a lean mixture Will cause misfiring and uneven running or the motor In connection with this i'm proper operation there will be the fa- miliar popping in the carburetor.
 Of course, these troubles cannot always be charged to incorrect mixture, but nine times out of ten such incorrect operation can be traced to it.

II will not be amiss to say that

of people who object to being vacci-

that vaccination is u preventive OF

believe that vaccination is more harm
ful than smallpox. And there Is an
abundance of authority to support
both these views.
According to health reports, in New

result from vaccination than from
