 Times seem to be so hard in Amer ica that recently a cotton speculator paid $95,000 for a seat in the New York cotton exchange. And, they tell us, the cotton exchange will erect a new exchange building at cost of three million dollars. Probably the members of said exchange anticipate handling large cotton crop this season-in futures. Of course they will not produce a pound of cotton We hope the cotton association will knock them out by dealing direct with manufacturers of cotton products.

it is therefore always we'll to
examine these before delving
further into the more delicate
parts of the mechanism.
This may be done in manner
sufficiently accurate for all prac-

engine up to high pressure and
then allowing 1t to stand for a
minute or two before opening
the pet or priming-cock to see
If there Is any compression left.
BY trying in turn, piston ring
troubles may usually be locat-

piston rings, while it will be
held by those which are properly
fitted. In this connection, the
valves must also be considered,
for IL they leak 1t is almost i'm
possible to get good compression

and the piston rings should be

speed of 80 miles an hour it is unrea
sonable to expect the driver of an
automobile to drive with the wheels
closer than 11a feet to the edge of the
pavement, says the bureau. For trucks
at an average speed of Is miles ar
hour. this distance should not be less
than 1a feet on account of the great
width of the rear wheel. Three feet
seems to be minimum safe clearance
between bodies. Inasmuch as Ger
tain amount of truck traffic is to b,
expected on all main country roads
the minimum width of surface shoult
be is feet to provide these clearances
when an automobile meets a truck.
Where the frequency with which
trucks pass each other becomes bis

cities, the minimum width of pavement
should be 90 feet to provide clear
ance of 31a feet and safe distance OF
