tires? l would also like to have the
front wheels changed to 30x3h, but
have a 30x3 tire on the front which is
practically new and would not like to
throw it away. Could / use this tire
OF the one side with a 30x312 on the
Other.-J. w. G.
Practically all cord tires, except
Michelin, are made so much larger
than the fabric that it is not advisable
to use one fabric and one cord on each
side. 1t will be satisfactory to use the
3h-inch tire on the one side and the
3-inch on theother, but your pressures
should be higher in the 81.
Dear Barney Oldfield: l have a
runabout which l bought second hand.
Ever since / got it. it misses when at
a certain speed. / cannot make any
time on a hill in second gear because
of the miss.
l had the pistons out and put in new
rings, ground the valves and had the
distributor set and also the ,~carburetor
changed and still / have the miss.
When l changed the piston rings I
found the fourth piston was groved
slightly from a wrist pin coming loose.
Has this anything to do with the miss
in nay car? If it has kindly explain the
best remedy for it.
The oil does not work up in any of the
cylinders not even in the groovedN one.
When on a dead pull where the car
cannot get too much speed it has a
great deal of power. l also had new
spark plugs put in and it did no good.
ID. II. s.
The scoring would be likely to cause
a compression loss, and SO interfere
with power output, but l believe the
misfiring is due to ignition or a water
or air leak in one cylinder. If it is
the same cylinder that misses fire all
the time, then l would look to the high
tension wire to the plug, the plug it
self, a worn distributor cam, a valve
that sticks or is badly set, excessive
leakage of air through q valve system
guide. If the misfiring is not always
in the one cylinder suspect a leaky
cylinder head, leaky intake, impaired
fuel feed. etc.
Dear Barney Oldfield: How do you
figure the r. p. NJ. of a motor? Some
automobile motors that have a 312-in.
bore and Sin. stroke will do 1900 II.
p. NJ, while others that have the same
bore and stroke will only do 1.S0O, p
900. 300, etc. Kindly explain what
causes the difference. b. w.
The r. z. MI of a motor has little
to do with the bore. The engine speed
is a result of a combination of char
acteristics. You do not figure the rev.
olutions per minute, you actually meas
ure for this, by means of an indicator
known as a tacometer.

WINTER FISHERMEN FIND j.

Some one has asked the question
"Are there many fish in Lake Be-
midji?" E~ - .,,,.-:.s 80: :.
! ifyou want to convince yourself
of this, just step into one Of the forty
fish houses now on the ice on Lake
Bemidji and look through the ice.
Just step into one Of the shacks and
watch the fishermen. spear the big
ones. $l:ft5 tl5s b si., 10 .isif III :.
When you have done this you will
find yourself an enthusiastic booster
for Lake Bemidji as q great lake for
fish. ~ ''st.'s

road speared a 23E pound Great
Northern pike, also several fish weigh
ing from to IL pounds. He got one
whitefYsh weighing nearly 10 pounds.
Visitors to these fish houses report
some great sights through the ice
and cannot figure out why thousands
of fish are not caught during the: rod
and reel season, where only hundreds
are caught. "The fish1; are there" !"
they declare, "and can be caught if

Of the working of intelligence in plants
Is offered by the mistletoe. whose
sticky, berry, finding lodgnent on a
tree branch, throws out a tiny rootlet,
which tries to pierce the bark and
thus obtain roothoId. II the bark Is
too tough, the r0otiet swings the berry
over to a fresh spot, and makes an
other trial. In this way such berry
has been known to make five jumps

MUST LINK RAIL,
WATER AND HIGHWAYS
FOR BETTER BUSINESS

In the interests OF lower dislri-
button costs II. w. Fem, secretary
National Motor Truck committee,
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce of New York, urged
upon the delegates assembled at
Washington, u. c., for the 18th
Rivers and Harbors Congress TO
give careful study to the co-ordtna-
ton of waterways and railways in
the wholesale phases of transpor-
tation and the motor truck in the
retail end
In emphasis of this need he
pointed out that the prediction had
been made by a prominent rail
road executive that the next time
our country had a real revival Of
business we would in all probabil-
ity be confronted with the most Sc
we're congestion of railroad tralfic
and tho greatest inadequacy OF
railroad facilities ever experienced
in our history.
The 100000 trucks in this
country are endeaYoring to help
the railroads prepare for such an
emergency by prompt collection
and delivery of less-t than carload
freight, which will permit the rail-
roads to render better service to
the shippers in this country in the
long-haul freight traffic" declared
Mr.. Fem, .....
IN Cincinnati this has meant
the release of $4,000 freight cars,
the elimination of 10000 switch
ing cuts and the advancement of
the freight movement SO hours.
1t is an acknowledged fact to-
day in railroad circles that truck
operation can be substituted for
railroad operation in short branch
line and trap car service, and in
suburban and terminal distribu-
ton. The New York Central lines
is in the vanguard OF this move
uent with its container car system
Of Transporting merchandise from
shipper to consignee through direct
delivery by truck from its railroad
yards"
Equal opportunity was open,
the speaker, felt for cooperation
between the waterways and trucks
at the important marine terminals
in this country.

PACKARD OFFICIAL
ON GREAT BRITAIN'S
ROAD BUILDING

That main rank highways
should have a. minimum width Of
at least "a feet is the opinion Of
English engineers, according to n
recent report by Frederick c. Hor-
ner, formerly transportation engi-
neer Of the Packard Motor Car
company now investigating trans
portation conditions in the British
Isles and on the continent.
In England, the best types Of
road are held to be asphalt and
tar macadam. The foundation Of
the former is generally construct
ed of the old road bed material
minus the worn-cut top, ON this
foundation is laid about two inches
Of bituninous concrete, on which
is put about 1875 inches Of sheet as
phalt. The tar macadam road Is
Stag tar macadam. Granite was
tried but found unsatisfactory
