Here Are Hints
For Those Who
Climb Mountains

So many motorists are either TAX
ing trips or planning trips into the
higher attitudes Of this part of the
state and even to the national
parks, that the Auto Club of South
ern California in conjunction with
the Department of the Interior, has
decided to issue some information
of pertinent interest to all such trav-
ellers.
On roads passing through an alti-
tude of from 1000 TO II, 900 feet the
propelling power of motor cars,
points out the Auto Club, is gener-
ally much reduced.
More Gas Needed
A leaner mixture Of gasoline and
air is consequently required in such
instances and on account of reduc-
ed engine power sometimes almost
so percent more gasoline will be
used per mile than at the many sea
level attitudes Of Southern Califor-
MIA.
Motorists will often find that it
will be necessary at the higher alti-
tudes in the vicinity of 1900 feet
that a lower gear will generally
have to be used on grades than
would be used in other places, points
out the Club touring bureau.
When you are travelling in the
higher attitudes, passing up long
grade, the heat Of the engine may
become serious unless caro- is used.
1t is good idea to keep an eye
cut for springs Of cold clear water
with which to replenish the radiator
at every opportunity, because You
never can tell when you may have
TO travel great distance without
coming up on more available water.
Take Rocks Away
If you stop on. the grade and
blceh your wheels with large rocks,
be sure that you take the rocks out
Of the road when you go on, ask
club officials, as others ears com
ing down the grade and hitting
these rocka are in danger of being
thrown over the side of the road as
a result.

u. S. ARMY RANKS SIXTH
IN SIZE OF BIG POWERS
Federal Government Report
Shows Only Germany Has
Fewer Men Under Arms.

Comparison Of army cost figures fol
the seven leading nations Of the world
shows the United States to be the least
militaristic Of all great powers, accord
ing to an exhaustive report by govern
ment statisticians made public recently.
The study was prompted by a con-
| victlon Of officials here that certain
foreign powers are manipulating Amer
lean figures in an attempt to cover up
their own huge expenditures, and thus
| offset charges of militarism.
| Milharism, the report attempts to
| show, Is not measured by the amount
| appropriated for national defense, but
| by the number of soldiers maintained,
| by the existence or nonexistence Of the
conscript system, and by the ratio OF
military strength to national wealth,
population and area of territory to be
defended. In none of these respects,
the report indicates, can the other
great powers stand for a moment on
the same footing with the United
States.
The nations considered in the official
report are the United States, Great
Britain, France, Germany, Russia Italy
and Japan. Of these France, Russia,
Italy and Japan have CONSUMPTION; the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many have voluntary service.
In numerical strength, the United
States comes next to last, with her
army, 114,087, being larger only than
that Of Germany, with 10O,5OO. Russia
leads with an army of $4,000. while
France is second with 100000; the
United Kingdom third, with 256,700;
Italy fourth, with 25O,OOO, and Japan
fifth, with 246,0O0.
Considered from the point of view Of |
the number Of soldiers per 1000 Of pop
ulation, the United States is absolutely |
last, with 1.33, while France is first,
with 1850; Italy second with $50; |
Russia, 6,72; United Kingdom, SAB;
Japan, 440.
The 1913 439,558 which the United

The Districts Telephone Bill.

The District government Is in trou-
BILE about its telephone bill, and a
most drastic regulation has been put
on outgoing calls, that the capital of
the United States may get through
until July 1 without a deficit in it's
allotment Of money for telephone serv-
ice. There is a mixture of humor and
seriousness in the situation. The gov.
eminent Of the American capital has
$50 left with which to pay for outside
telephone service for the next two
weeks, or until the appropriation for
the next fiscal year becomes available.
1t is not thought likely that the
telephone company would take out
the instruments and shut off the serv-
ice if the District should fall down on
the payment Of it's bill, for the Dis
trict has been a good customer of the
phone company, has heretofore been
prompt in the payment Of it's bill,
and ought by this time to have built
up fair credit with the company. 1t
might also be remarked that some of
the officers and others of the tele-
phone company know the District gov
eminent when they see it, and are on
speaking terms with some Of the Dis.
trict officials. All these things ought
to help the District in its hour of
trouble. At all events it is most prob
able that the telephone company will
deal gently with the District govern.

ly to effect a legal appointment. The
President may, Of course, take with
him on his trip a stock Of blank COM
missions and sign them while away
from Washington and announce the
fact by wire or wireless, which would
be ample authorization to the ap-
pointees to take the oath of office
and begin the discharge Of their duties.
In the course of departmental rou-
tine there are many matters arising
constantly that involve overlapping
between departments and bureaus
and that require conferences. Ere.
quently two Secretaries will meet and
discuss matters of mutual concern.
There Is no conceivable reason why all
Of the members of the cabinet should
not in the Presidents absence thus
confer, even though these conferences
may not be called cabinet meetings"
There is no possible usurpation of the
presidential office when there is a lack
of power on the part of any partici-
pant, or ali together, to do anything
of a presidential nature without the
warrant and direction and authoriza-
ton of the chief executive.
. Inasmuch as the President is to be
away for some weeks from the capital,
it is most desirable that this under
standing should be had in advance
that leaves the members Of his official
family free to act according to their
Judgment upon matters which fall
within their provinces Of decision.
