 An American pilot will likely be used on the flights. it is reported, but Mexican army observer is eX- pected to be in the machine at all times.
 The contract will include the pho tographing of railroad lines, harbors, highways and uneXplored timber and railroad lines.

DEVELOP BIG HORSE POWER

Rome, Aug. 9-Ita1ian water-power stations soon will be developing 1,- 500,000 horSe-power. One-haf of these stations have been erected dur ing the past five years while present plans anticipate the construction of '57 more stations which will generate 359,000 horsepower.
 Before the war, Italy had BPS waaer-power plants which produced S35,000 horsepower. During the war 5S stations were constructed and these were able to develop 17,OO0 Horsepower. This immense amount of power has been used in all kinds of industrial work. Some is used for the electric power needed on the electrified railroads
 The biggest plant now in course of construction is situated in Sardinia. A colossal water basin with a capac- ity of 400, 100000 cubic meters will serve to supply the station with pow CT.

SPLASHER GUARDS
LOOSEN BECAUSE OF
VIBRATION OF MOTOR

The splasher guard of the front
fender is usually bent inward and
held to the frame by a row of COM
mon iron stove bolts-often without
lock washers. OF course they loosen
under the constant vibration and
wracking, and il a rubber filler strip
is put between the guard and the
frame this dries up and perishes,
which makes the ~looseness worse than
ever.
There-are two easy ways Of curing
this. One is to reinforce the edge
of the guard; provide the reinforce
ment with three or four Jugs or pro-
jections so that it will only actually
touch the frame at these points. and
then put a decent sized bolt through
each point Of contact. This allows the
guard and the frame to weave indie
pcndeatly and eliminates chare.
The other method is to bend the
edge Of the guard ove a s%tiffening
wire and clip it rigidly over to the
fender irons. The beaded edge of the
guard then m close to the frame
AN eighth of ar inch. but does not
lactually touch it and is not actually
attached to it. Firm sockets for the
fender irons generally are used. and
with his design they are all that is
needed to make a squeakless job.

Fieldner found that the average truck
operator is wasting from 20 to 80 per
cent OF his gasoline by using too rich
q mixture. Preliminary tests on 10
representative trucks showed an AVER
age of from s to 8 per cent Of carbon
monoxide and 2 to . per cent of car
bon dioxide in the exhaust gas. The
tendency toward rich mixtures was
very much greater than toward lean
mixtures. This was to be expected,
as a motor will operate smoothly and
accelerate rapidly with ~carburetor adj
justment on the rich side, whereas on
the lean side smooth operation does
not come until the motor reaches it's
full operating temperature and is run
ming at a fair speed. However, the
gas excess was much greater than
necessary for good operation in the
great majority of the trucks tested.
Many trucks showed as high as 10
per cent carbon monoxide in the x
haust. 1t is safe to say that rs to 80
per cent greater mileage could be OBJ
tanned on the average Of all trucks
tested with a little intelligent atten-
ton to the carburetor adjustment. In
the aggregate this would represent an
annual saving of from % to 80 per
cent Of the gasoline used in this coun-
try for motor vehicles.

WIDE ROADS TO
HANDLE MOTOR
TRAFFIC NEED
Highways Must Conform To
Requirements To Avoid
Danger

Modern highway traffic demands
roads vic enough to permit vehicles
to pass each other safely without re-
duction of speed and without leaving
the road surface. The narrow road
surface is dangerous and tends to en-
courage recklessness because drivers
are tempted to remain on the pave
ment when passing another a even
at the risk Of a collision. The chief
advantage gained by hard roads and
motor vehicles-that of rapid trans
portation--will be lost if our roads
are constructed so narrow that the
drivers must either TURF off the pave
mont or greatly reduce their speed
when meeting another car or truck.
Plenty of Clearance.
A consideration of a passenger car
and standard heavy-duty truck. side
by side on, for example, a 15-foot
pavement, will make evident the fact
that such paving is far too narrow to
insure safety, to vehicles when passing
Ieven:at a. moderate rate OF speed. The
eetta&fo ot.sroaN;-on the other HAND al
lows plenty of clearance between the
machines and permits them to pass
SAFELY at the usual speed.

should: always be borne in mind that
it is more economical to build roads
VIDE at inc outset Lnan TO Wl0en lne1Il
later. Eventually, perhaps, all of our
present narrow roads, constructed
with inadequate highway funds avail
able, primarily to bridge dirt gaps,
will be widened. but communities
about to launch extended programs
of permanent highway construction
should profit by experience and build
new roads wide enough to accommo-
date the increase in traffic which in
variably follows road improvement.
Traffic Doubles.
IT has been the almost invariable
result of the hard surfaced improve
ment of a main highway that traffic
not only doubles, but increases by
nearly five times it's original volume,
the pavement naturally attracting
travel which previously had travcrsed
parallcling roads.

In talking with Mr.. Henry he states
that there is likely to be a shortage of
automobiles the coming season as
very few dealers have the required
stock of automobiles on hand at this
time of the season, largely contribut-
ed to the adverse conditions which we
have been going through.
The Henry Motor company is also
the distributor for the International
line of motor trucks for their North
Dakota territory working out of their
branch house at Grand Forks, also
including some Minnesota territory.
The International is a well-kmown,
old established truck with models
varying from one ton to five tons.
The International has recently added
to its well-known family of trucks. a
three-quarter ton speed wagon, which
makes their line for 1891 season a
complete line. giving the required
truck for practically any kind Of truck
hauling.
They are also the distributors for
the Spaulding line Of bodies, and
carry a complete stock of all types
of truck bodies on hand SO they can
equip any truck with the desired body
the purchaser wishes. This is a big
advantage to the purchaser, as they
can see the truck with whatever kind

Included in the International line
are the y, J., IN. IA, 2. 3, az. 4 and
