Two holes are drilled in the two

a one-quarter-inch bar for twisting.
To use the device the chain hooks
are put into place on the rim and the
pipe given a twist. This action winds
the chains around the pipe, yet so
great is the leverage Obtainable that
little actual strength is required to

the longest river In the world. Her
nando de Soto lake and not Lake
Itasca, as commonly supposed, is now
considered by some authorities as its
place Of beginning.
There is a difference Of 1,47O feet
between the elevations Of its mouth
and Of its head and during its journey
from Minnesota to the Gulf Of Mex
leo the temperature depending upon
the season, sometimes varies as much
as $50 degrees.
Its waters wash the soils Of ten
states. In the vicinity Of Red river,
Louisiana, the volume Of its flow is
estimated to exceed 100000 gal
Ions per second.
The Wisconsin, Des Moines, ILL.,
nois, Missouri, Ohio, White, Arkansas
and Red river systems, as well as a
large number Of ''lesser lights" with
their myriads Of tributaries, flow into
It. These rivers carry drainage from
% of the 48 states. This tremendous
watershed has an area Of 100000
square miles OF 4195 Of THE entire
United States.
The Mississippi is navigable for al
most its entire length or from St Paul
to the Gulf.
Large numbers Of passengers are
transported between local points and
tremendous quantities Of freight-prin-
eipaIly grain, cotton, live stock, coal,
lumber. logs, provisions, stone, gravel
and sand are carried upon its sur

THE ELECTRIC SHE"

"THE ELECTRIC SHIP"
THE NEW MEXICO was the first
4 battleship constructed in the
United States, to be propelled by
electricity.
This ship is 624 feet long, weighs
$4,000 tons and from the water-line
to the top Of the mast is as high as
a ten-story building.
To drive it q knots an hour re-
Quires $4,000 horse power. Her Oil
burning engines are fed from tanks
which carry approximately 100000
gallons Of oil. It's nine boilers pro-
Guce 10000 horse power of steam
Energy. This steam turns two tur-
bines which develop $4,000 horse
power. These turbines are marvellous
savers of fuel and space. Each tur-
bine is connected to an electric gem
orator. Each generator produces
10000 horse power Of electrical
energy.
Huge cables carry this current to
the control board from which the en-
gineer operates the ship. From this
point this power is sent to four giant
motors Of 1000 horse power each
one Of which Is attached to each pro-
peIler shaft.
"Let electricity do It" is the motto
on the New Mexico. Electricity re-
wolves the gun turrets, moves, loads
and fires the guns; raises the anchor,
moves the rudder and pushes the ship;
lowers the boats, pumps the water,
runs the machine and blacksmith
shops, heats and lights the boat: Op-
crates the interior communicating, fire
protection, refrigerating, ventilating
and telephone systems and wireless in
strbments; peels potatoes, washes
dishes. mixes the bread dough, washes
and irons the clothes in the laundry,
sterilizes the instruments in the hos
pital and does numerous other un-
looked-for stunts.
In every sense of the word, the New
Mexico Is an electric ship.

Special Fuel Constituent,

OF considerable interest to those
following the development of the
internal combustion engine is the
report from Dayton that the alti-
tude record of 36,020 feet, accom-
plished by Major Schroeder some
time since, was made possible by a
supercharger and a special fuel
constituent.
The fuel component is a special
compound of the anime series and
is added to the gasoline. It's pur-
pose is to remove the tendency to
detonate and to permit the high
compression ratios provided by the
supercharger.
Ordinarily an airplane loses
about so per cent of its power at
$4,000 feet, due to lack of oxygen.
With the superCharger the Liberty
full horsepower at the high alti-
tude and only lost climbing speed
because of the atmospheric pres
sure drop.
While it does not appear likely
that supercharger can be applied
satisfactorily to the automobile en-
gine because of the fact that such
devices have been found to reduce
the fuel economy, there is rea-
son to believe that the invention
of fuel constituent which will
prevent detonating may lead to
important developments with re-
gard to the handling of low grade
fuels.

BRIEF NOTES ABOUT
TWO CLEVELAND CARS

Roadability is Characteristic
feature with the five passenger
Cleveland touring model 1t rides
roads with a smoothness and ease
that is truly a revelation to those
familiar with cars of comparable
size. The seats. which are uphol-
stored with genuine hand-buffed
leather, are placed at the proper
angle, and the backs are of such
height that. even after the longest
ride, there is a feeling of restful-
ness. Taking the car as a whole it
is indeed distinguished for its rare
beauty and completeness of detail
The pleasing body lines of the
roadster give it that low. racy ap-
pearance, instantly appreciated by
those expecting more than is found
in the car of average performance.
Three passengers find perfect COM
fort in the wide seat of just the
right depth. height and angle. The
upholstery is the same as that of
the touring model and the details
of trim are in perfect harmony.
Generous storage space is provided
in the waterproof rear deck, In
any company this model wins re-
spectful admiration for both looks
and performance.

NEW BUICK IMPROVED
BETTER BODY LINES

Compared with the Buick dis
played last year. the 1921 model of
the Buick Motor company. Flint,
Mich, presents quite an entirely
changed appearance. Mechanically
it is far better cara too. although
it's better qualities have been the
result of gradual developments
rather than any radical or major
changes in design. The new series
was disclosed in the fall and COW
cred fully at the time. Since that
time, however. cord tires have been
adopted as standard equipment and
the Alemite chassis, fabrication
system put on as standard.
The new body lines of the car
with the high radiator hood and
cow blending into a straight line
with a sharp drop to the top of the
body sides. have greatly enhanced
| the appearance of this old estab-
lished line. Apparently from the
interest displayed it has lost none
of it's popularity.

THE AUToM0BILISTS
WILL FIGHT PROPOSAL
TO RAISE TAXES

Motorists in the east are becom-
ing very much aroused over varl-
Gus proposals to put additional
burdens of taxation on the motor
industry SAYS Washington dis
patch. A Washington man who is
in close touch both with the indus
try and with congress and the va
rious state legislatures, said:
"They are at it again Whenever
II becomes necessary to propose
the raising Of additional taxes the
automobile is one Of the first things
suggested to dig up the money.
The $143,O00,O00 the federal gov
crnment is collecting and the state
fees of $64,O00,000 are not enough.
1t is proposed to add 100 per cent
more.
unfortunately those making
this suggestion still consider the
motor car as a luxury, They are
overlooking 100000 doctors who
own automobiles. The farmer, who
owns one-third of the 100000
passenger cars in this country, is
being indirectly accused of squand-
ering his money on a luxury.
when any business reaches the
point where it is the second largest
in the country it can hardly be put
in the luxury class. Our rural clti-
zens have never been accused of
reckless extravaganza, but the reg
istration figures for the past year
show the greatest increase in those
states where the rural population
is largest.
1T is proposed to raise this tax
by doubling the present tax, add
ing a tax of so cents per horse
power, with a tax of 2 cents per
gallon on gasoline.
"The proposing of this tax is in
measure endeavoring to place a
tax on efficiency, because it is con-
ceded that the motor car greatly
increases efficiency in business,
and statistics show that more than
IS per cent Of the cars in use today
are used at least part time for bus
mess. The automobile manufac-
turer and dealer is willing to pay
his share of the expense of running
the government, but he hardly sees
the justice of being singled out as
the one who should carry the big
end of the load"

OVERLAND WINS
THRILLING FIGHT
WITH BIG WOLF

The climax of the freak stunts
to which the overland car with
Triplex springs has been subjected
in the last two years developed in
northern Wisconsin recently when
this light weight car worsted big
brush wolf in thrilling battle
near Holcombe, Wis.
Driving along wild road in
northern Wisconsin. William Wal
ters, overland dealer at Holcombe,
came upon the wolf running in the
gulley by the roadside.
Walters sent the car after the
wolf at a fast rate. He ran in and
out of the gulley, over broken tree
limbs, through brush and rough.
After hot race the car ran down
the wolf breaking its back and
both hind legs.
Walters jumped from his ma
chine, but the wolf showed fight
and dragged itself toward him
snarling and growing. Walters
jumped back in the ear and again
ran down the beast, setting the
brakes when he had the body
pinned to the ground He then
grabbed the jack, and, as he sup
posed, killed the animal.
With the body loaded on the
running board, held by closing the
front door on its tail, Walters sped
on to Holcombe to exhibit the
catch. The usual crowd was sit
ting about in front of the Hol-
combe house when he drove up.
He opened the door, jumped out
and cried; Look who's here!" AS
he spoke the wolf came to life and
started to drag itself into the
crowd, swapping and snarling.
A few well-direCted blows and
the wolf was dead. The next day
Walters collected the bounty and
sold the pelt for good price.
Aside from a few teeth marks on
the front tires the Overland came
through the fight without a
scratch. And Walters and his prod
uct are being talked about all over
the country.

TROOPS OPPRESS

Armed Forces Demand Trib-

III II and Occupy Homes and
Shops, Missionaries Say.

8iHankoW, China. Feb. 12.-Ap-
palling stories of a populace op-
pressed To tho point of extermina-
tion by an uncontrolled soldiery
have been c&ing to Hankow for
weeks from the upper reaches of
the Yantsze river The reports are
principally from missionary sources.
The people in the western part of
Hupeh province, these advices say,
have been reduced to the direst
straits by troops who demand trib-
ute, levy taxes, seize and occupy
homes and shops and live on the
land without restraint and those
under the yoke have no possible
channel open to them to voice their
grievances.
Shihnan and adjoining districts
in the western part of the province
are said to be wholly under domi-
nation of the soldiers. The area
issnot far distant from the Yang
tsae trans-shipment port of Ichang
which was seized and looted by
mutinous troops inc December. In
ordinary times it is secluded from
the rest of China with little or no
communication with the other
provinces due to the utter lack of
routes of transportation over the
rugged heights,
1t was in the early months of
191 8 as a development in the strife
between north and south that the
soldiers appeared here under the
name of the "pacifying nation
troops" of Hupeh. These troops
brought disaster.
Recently by reason of differences
these forces have had with the
Szechuen troops the source of salt
supply for the district has been
cut. For weeks. say the reports. it
was impossible to obtain salt at any
price with the result that the
plague appeared among soldiers
and people alike. Here is quota
tiOn from one letter to the Ameri-
can church mission at Hankow:
in one home the soldiers be-
came enraged at the family's lack
of respect for them. One day the
soldiers, who board without pay
ing, threw the food of the house
hold to their horses. The needy
family could not smother its pro-
tests, for starvation was then upon
them The soldiers then promptly
called out the eldest son and hang
ed him. His wife Immediately
committed suicide and the old
mother then killed herself" ."
