chorus of his little cousins, the Hylas
Old Mr.. Toad tingled all over with de-
sire to get there and take his part in
that chorus.
Now there were others who were
interested In that spring chorus, and
one Of these was Mr.. Blacksnake. He
had wakened from his long winter
sleep and had been out long enough to
change his suit. Now he was hungry.
He knew all about those singers in
the Smiling Pool and he knew that
it was not at all unlikely that he
might be able to catch some Of them
at the edge of the water.
So Mr.. Blacksnake also started for
the Smiling Pool, and just by chance
he was behind Old Mr.. Toad. Old
down there that he didn't look be-
hind until a rustling sound just back
of him warned him that somebody
was just behind him. Too late he
discovered Mr.. Blacksnake. Old Mr..
Toad's big. pop eyes popped more
Before he could make another Mr..
Blacksnake had seized him. Old Mr..
Toad gave a little shrek Of fright and
despair as he felt the teeth of Mr..
Blacksnake.
Mr.. Blacksnake had caught him by
one hind leg. Without wasting any
time Mr.. Blacksnake began to swal-
low him. He kicked and struggled,
but Mr.. Blacksnake paid no attention
to this. Old Mr.. Toad could feel him.
self being drawn backward down Mr..
Blacksnake's throat. In a few min
utes only his head remained out of
Mr.. Blacksnake's mouth.
Poor Old Mr.. Toad He could hear
the Joyous chorus Of his little cousins,
the Hylas, over in the Smiling Pool,
and he wondered II they would miss
his sweet voice there. You know, he
has one Of the sweetest of all the
spring voices. He could see the Green
Meadows and he felt that he was
looking at them for the last time. He
gasped for breath. He could no
longer struggle, for he was being held
too tightly for that He was being
swallowed alivei Can you think of
any more dreadful end than that?
Old Mr.. Toad had been caught by
Mr.. Blacksnake once before and just
in tho very nick of time he had been
set free by the two little Bears, Boxer
and Woof Woof. But he couldn't
hope that these cubs would happen
along again. 1t was pure chance that
they had discovered Mr.. Blacksnake
that other time. No. Old Mr.. Toad
couldn't hope for anything like that
again. This surely was to be the end
of him. Never again would he work
in Farmer Browns Garden. Never
again would he hunt in the twilight
for worms and bugs. Never again
would he dart that long. hind side
before tongue of his out to catch q
ffy. Old Mr.. Toad didn't have the
teeniest, weeniest hope.

NEW JERSEY BUILDS
 MILES OF NEW ROADS

Trenton, N. J. Sept. 2.-at the end of the present construction season, it is estimated by the state highway commission, over 300 miles of the new state highway system, which en1- braces 725 miles, will be completed. This summer a total of 145 miles are to be laid down, the cost being borne by the counties through which the system runs, with the agreement that the State is to reimburse the coun- ties for this work during the years 1924 to 1926 inclusive.
 The general road construction pro gram to be carried out during the present year, however, contemplates the improvement of at least another 150 miles of road.
 The work on the State system has already begun, and contracts for more than seventy miles have been let, rep resenting an expenditure of $4,5OO,- 900. The total of 145 miles will mean an outlay of $S,2OO,OOO this summer. A total of twenty miles more has also been advertised.

FORD PLANTS CLOSE
 IN FIGHT FOR
 CHEAPER COAL

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 2.-All eyes in the motor world are centered this week upon action taken by Henry Ford in announcing that he would fight the coal barons to a finish and aid in reduction of prices by closing all of his plants on September 16. This will throw 10000 men out of work in Detroit and affect hundreds of thousands throughout the country. Already announcements have been made of closing of other plants should the motor king carry out his threat.
 Ford has a reserve supply of coal that will enable him to keep the coke ovens in operation past the closing date. Ford's announcement was ac- companied by statement that the company was producing more than 520O cars daily and that production was below the demand.
 Despite the statement of Mayor James Couzens, one of the organizers of the Ford Motor Company and at present a stockholder in the Ford Motor Company of Canada, that "Ford has no intention of closing" and that what the motor king said last week was entirely for effect, Ford is standing pat.
 In some quarters it is the belief that advancement of steel prices plays as great a part in the move of the motor king as high prices for coal. The automobile trade has understood generally that when the Ford com pany started business it was with the understanding that profit of $1O0 would be made on each car turned out.
 Competition has grown steadily keener. Recent announcement of re- duction in price of the Chevrolet car has not frightened prospects for some competitors. Certain sections of the trade are of the opinion that a seas ,onal slump, together with desire not to increase the price of Ford cars and at the same time a wish to keep the margin of profit at the old figure, may be back of the move to close temporarily.
 Representatives of the Ford Con- pany refuse to comment upon the statement of Mayor Couzens. Closing of Ford plants would have a far-reaching effect throughout the country, since it would close the var ious Ford industries interwoven in Ford activities, said H. H. Emmons, president of the Board of Commerce.
 "In my opinion, every effort should be made to keep the Ford industries running. But I am reliably informed that it is MT. Ford's intention to close on September 16, as he stated"

CAL|F. MOTORISTS
 VISIT WHITE MTS.

This is a year of long tours for local motorists.
 According to statistics just gathered by the Automobile Club of Southern California, motorists of the southern and central parts of California are stretching their touring activities over greater number of miles than ever before.
 Scores of auto parties are visiting the White Mountains in Arizona, where many interesting Indian ruins and petrified trees are found. This is new territory for local auto owners.
 Many hundreds of auto parties are polishing off the summer with last minute run to one of the National parks, usually Sequoia or Yellowstone. General Grant and Yosemite are also having large number of late visitors, according to the Auto Club touring bureau.
 In San Diego, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties there is an unusual rush for the mountain districts, it is stated. Orange, Riverside, Imperial and Kern counties are favoring the beaches. Los Angeles and Tulare are sending large numbers of motorists on even longer trips, into Oregon and Washington as well as Arizona.
 Suggestions for September tours are now ready at all Auto Club county offices, it is just announced. Motor- ists who wish to take early fall trips will have plenty of suggestions offer ed them if they apply at once. Last year local motorists were prin- cipally concerned in visiting beaches and resorts within a short distance of home, but true to form, this has been "long distance" year. Every other year in Southern California finds motorists going further and fur ther from home.

SPIKES FOR SPEEDERS

The officials of the town of North Adams Mass, are effectively enforc- ing the anti-speed ordinance with an original road barrier. A policeman stands at the side of the road with a red lantern. Speeding drivers are hailed and cautioned to use discretion providing they stop. If they fail to stop the policeman blows his whistle and farther along the road a belt, filled with short spikes, is stretched across the highway. No one has run past it as yet.

WESTERN PAC| [ RAIL ROAD FIGHTS
 NEW HIGHWAY

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 2.-(Special) The Western Pacific Railroad com pany has filed formal protest with ;the California Highway commission against the construction of a Feather river highway in the north fork of the Feather river where such road is located on the same side of the river as is the Western Pacific.
 The protest was received at the of fees of the highway commission in Sacramento and was written by J. w. Williams, chief engineer of the\West- ern Pacific. It concludes, q feel obliged to respectfully, but most em- phatically protest on behalf of the Western Pacific against the construc- tion of the highway between our bridge south of Pulga and Tobin as at present located and advise that this company will take legal steps to secure judgment for any damage which may occur
 Williams in his letter states that the matter has geen given prolonged con- sideration by his company and that the railroad approached the subject with the thought that we did not de- sire to offer any objection to the con- struction of the highway unless, af- ter careful consideration, was of the opinion that the hazard of damage and accident was too great"
 He recounts the difficulty that the railroad experienced with slides inn mediately after its construction, these slides being occasioned by construc- tion of the power poles of the Great Western Power company also were the occasion of serious slides.
 He suggests as an alternative that the road be moved to the top of the ridge, where it parallels the Western Pacific.
 Plans for the road which were au- 'thorized in the last bond issue are completed, and negotiations with the Western Pacific company and the Great Western Power company to se- cure the necessary rights of way which would permit call for bids for the work have been under way for some weeks.

the average observer, to be a great
 gulf fixed. Surely the racing cars
 must be of a different lineage, with
 larger engines, more powerful parts
 and stronger metals.
 Nothing of the sort. Stock cars and
 racers are mechanical brothers. The
 difference between them are compara-
 lively trivial and the clever hand of
 the engineer merely makes a few
 changes to turn the stock model into
 space devouring monster that makes
 the crowds gasp and shiver as it tears
 around. the big oval.
 | No better instance of this can be
 found than in the two Fronty-Fords,
 which were put together by the skilled
 hand of Louis Chevrolet, engineer and racing driver, and which made better than 100 miles per hour at the recent Indianapolis race. In the construction of these hybrids, Chevrolet used more than half standard Ford parts, adding special Ailments that made the differ ence in speed.
 To begin with, the regular Ford cylinder block was used, but the bores were refinished .00S oversize, to give a more accurate finish. The cam shaft, piston pins, connecting rod bolts, camshaft gears and connecting rods are all Ford stock parts. The crankshaft, cylinder head of valve in head type pistons, etc., are of special construction. The transmission is en. tirely stock, the propeller shaft and torque tube are also the regular Ford parts. The rear axle is altered, but the stock housing is used. The front axle is special forging.
 As will be noted. in the accompany ing picture, the engine has been given a special head, carrying eight tung- sten steel valves of 1 7-S inch dia- meter, operated by rocker arms and vertical rods. The rocker arms are pivoted off center so that the ratio is l 11s to 1, giving one-third more lift than the standard Ford valve.
 Drive from the camshaft is through a nickel steel gear, the camshaft bear ings being stock. Pistons are of alum mum alloy with flat top, beveled. They carry two special rings 5-32 of an inch wide. The engine compress sion is 85 pounds. The crankshaft is a chrome nickeled steel forging with integral counterweights. The crankshaft is machined to take the Ford crankshaft gear and the stock Ford flywheel. The shaft is. drilled to feed the main and connect ing rod bearings under pressure, an oil pump being driven by the forward end of the camshaft. An oil reservoir is placed in the body of the car and a four-gallon reserve tank in a subcase under the crankcase. Maximum oil pressure is fifty pounds. .
 The carburetor is an L-7 Zenith of I A inch diameter. Ignition is, by al special Delco replacement type, using a Willard battery: Spark plugs are Champion.
 The transmission,, as noted, is Ford stock, but the rear axle gear ratio is 3 to 1, and sleeves are inserted in the outer ends of the axle tubes. The sleeves are machined' to take New De- parture No. 309 ball bearings.
 The engine turns up $500 revolu- tions per minute. Braking is by the regular Ford bands in the transmits sion and o& the rear wheels. The frame siderails are of special construc- tion and the front springs are semi elliptic. H....

RACING CARS

time to time could not reach the
Lawmakers ears, and when it did,
their ears were stopped up. So that
it did not matter how much Of a
howl the Indians did make, all ears
were closed to it. But in the mean
time, the encrOachments were kept
alive, now a half acre, then one
acre and the next time ten, and so
on; the howl raised by the Indians
being drowned by the encrOacher's
music.
OF course, Mr.. Bursum says that
the titles and rights of the nom
Indian had always been recognized
as being valid and never questioned
by either the government or the
| Indian until the Sandoval case.
What had the Indian to do but
howl, when his voice could not
reach beyond the roof of his no
gan" Outside of that, it was all
valid, and if it was valid then, what
is the idea of making it valid now
if it was valid then, it can be
valid now, unless the government
gets turned around. But there must
be some doubt, or why this haste
to validate them now.
When the representative of the
settlers and the representatives OF
the government held their confer
ence with the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs to consider all the
facts-were we not part of the
facts and premises wherein either
or both representatives should have
consulted us if it was for the ex-
tension of justice to all?
1t seems to me that some are not
satisfied with ignoring our exist
ence, but they go further by CIV
ing us slap or kick once in II
while to remind us that they have
not really forgotten us.
We have worlds OF protest to
make and have been making it for
years and years, but the trouble is,
that we cannot go to see our con-
gresham Eve have none) whom
else can or must we see, our COM
missioner? You have him tied up
that so he cannot move. When we
are in such a crisis as now, we, a
few who talk little English start
to do something; but over one hals
of our older people do not know
what conditions are threatening us.
and only tell us that the Great Gov.
ernment will do no such thing; 1--WE
trust the Good Government; he IS

Editor Morning Journal,
Dear Sir-Please allow me to say
few words in your paper. I see
in your paper of November %
where Senator Bursum says that
the bill he introduced in congress,
called the Bursum bill will not in
fringe upon the rights of us Pueblo
Indians and goes on further ex-
planning that the bill will do Justice
to all concerned, andAthat the In
dams had recognized their non-In-
dian rights to such lands that he
no y holds and that the rights of
the Indians were never guess
toned until the Sandoval case had
been decided.
Whether these rights were ever
questioned or not can be taken up
later, but will only say now that
the supreme cqirt, although the
question of laffd-rights was not
that which the court had under
consideration, yet the court must
have seen the injustice that was be-
ing done to us Indians, otherwise
the decision would have been word
ed differently.
And Just because the protest
made by The Pueblo Indians from
