ETHER AGAIN AVAILABLE
FOR CLEANING PURPOSES

Motorists were just beginning to
learn that ether was very useful in
removing grease spots from clothing
and other textiles when the war ere.
ated shortage of II and gasoline
again had to be .resorted to, notwith-
standing II had doubled in price, and
left a residual odor on the goods
that wasn't pleasant.
For a long tins ether has been
used in cotton and wooden mills for
removing spots from new cloth
Ether can be purchased in drug
stores in half pound cans. II is not
expensive, but Is very volatile. After
taking the required amount from the
can, the container must be tightly
closed as soon as possible, otherwise
our cleaner dissolves into thin air.
Ether is infammabe and should
not be used anywhere near open
fame or open FIRE, nor in a closed
room where the ventilation is not
good. The same care should be ex-
ercised in its use as in the use OF
gasoline, benzine and like products.

The Kline Car Corporation has an

each on all open models. effective
July 4. which is the second reduction
on Kline cars in the past eigh. months.
The frst cut was 1910.
Many features have been added to
the new model X. Every detail has
been worked out as in the finest cars,
featuring accessibility. Cord tires
are new regular equipment.
This model X is built in five body
styles, and IL 10 claimed to be the
highest standardized custom built car
on tho market
The bodies, tops. upholstery. sheet

parts ara made in the Kline factory.
One of the newest features Of this car
is In the rear axle, in which the pin
ion runs between two roller bearings.

teeth out of pinion or ring gear due
TO the sturdiness of the mounting and

FRANCE HAS COMPILED
NEW RULES OF THE ROAD

President hillerand has issued a
decree governing national rules OF
the road" The rules are similar to
those, in the United States, says
writer In Motor Life. They enlarge
the rights OF automobilists and re-
quire other vehicles to conform with
them.
Barnyard stock no longer will have
the right-of-way. Formerly auto
mobilists were required TO pay twice
the value OF stock killed or injured.
whether the driver of the machine
was at fault or not The speed of
automobiles will not be limited along
roads outside Of towns. That of
trucks, however. will be limited ac-
cording to the weight of the machine.
Pedestrians assume all risks IL they
disregard danger signals. Long
strings of farm wagons are prohibited
from blocking roads.

Large Tire Contains
Five Miles OF
Fabric Cotton

Here are some interesting facts
about cord tires. A 30x3h cord
tire contains almost 5000 feet Of
cord or over a mile and half
A 35x6 has over 10000 feet Of
cord or over five and half miles.
This cord is made Of long fabric
cotton of far better grade than is
used in ordinary cotton goods. In
appearance the cord is similar to
weight fishing line. Each
cord is insulated in rubber, Each
cord or ply is separated from the
next by layer of rubber insulat-
ing which gives additional
strength.
Tests in the Miller tire factory
at Akron show that the strength
of each cord is approximately fif-
teen pounds. To this is added the.
strength given by the rubber,
which is approximately 5000
pounds per square inch. A stand
ard make five-inch cord tire has
twenty to twenty-six cords per
inch Eight plies or layers of
these cords make up the carcass.
This gives the five-inch tire
strength in fabric carcass alone in
excess of 2,400 pounds to the
square inch, irrespective of the
strength given by other parts.

SMALLER ENGINES
FOR 1928 RACES
IN INDIANAPOLIS
Speedway Managers Cut Piston
Displacement to 1872
Cubic Inches.

T. z. Myers. secretary and man
ager of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway Company, has announced
that the 1923 race on the famous
track would be for cars with engines
having a maximum piston displace-
ment of l22 cubic inches. Translated
Into European terms this is two
liters. The 1922 5oo-mile race. the
tenth annual event. will be for three
liter cars, or engines of 1873 cubic
inches. the same size as the 1870 and
1921 races.
This is the nth time that the
indianapolis track has reduced the
engine sizes for the cars competing
In the five-century, which is the
classic of all the worlds speed events
annually.
on hand. such reductions would
seem to reduce the speed of the cars.
Such is not the case. The automo-
tive engineers have always been able
to obtain more speed, in fact, by
speeding up the engines and length
ening the stroke of the motor, which
Is to say that the diameter of the
cylinders are reduced.
The 1928 race will have engines
smaller than anything now built in
America. The smallest engined car
today in production is a four-cylin-
der, measuring 1871. The Ford on
CINE is near the 1s3 maximum. Such
reductions have always been reflect
ed in the stock production of the
American makers.
The "crucibIe of racing" has
proved to the satisfaction of the
engineers that fuel economy could
be offered by reducing the engine
sizes. In the last race the average
cars mileage was ten to the gallon.
Two years hence IL should pass tn,
twelve mile mark.
The efficiency of the two-liter en-
gine was demonstrated recently in
the French economy Grand Prix at
LeMans, where De Dion Bouton, of
this class showed 1900 miles to the
gallon in a stock test.
Other than the announcement 81

lions have been made public.

There is no fundamental reason

RILEY CREEK v|ADUCT RAPIDLY YEARS COMPLETION

The erection of piers and abut- ments for the support of the steel to form the completing part of the Riley Creek viaduct, were completed during the week and now awaits the coming of steel superstructure from the coast, the first load of which is said to be already on the way.
 The work of putting the steel in place probably will be taken in hand shortly after the first of the year, and rushed to completion. It is estimated that the viaduct will be ready for use during the latter part of February.
 With the gap at Riley closed, it will be possible to operate trains from end to end of the Government railroad, be- tween Seward and Nenana The result will be greatly improved service on the northern end of the line, now re- stricted to the use of one home made passenger coach and an combination passenger and baggage car, also of home manufacture.
 The completion of the concrete work at Riley resulted, during the week, in a considerable reduction of forces at that point, about 30 men hay ing been laid off
 Work is also progressing rapidly at Nenana Crossing, where the last pier is now being started for the wooden structure which will span the Nenana river at that point. The sheet piling has been driven and pumps are now being installed to prepare the way for excavation.
 This pier will occupy a position in the main channel of the river, near the north shore and will be composed of concrete, and sufficiently substan- tial to withstand the rush of ice and water during the spring breakup, and freshets of later periods during the open season.
 It is expt cted that it will take month to complete the pier, after which the structure will be ready for the superstructure, a considerable Dart of which will be shipped from the coast after the Riley Creek via duct is ready for traffic. .-Nenan News
