Mclaughlin who died at Washing

Superior, having visited his old
friend, d. F. Barry, noted Indian
photographer, on numerous occa-

After the Custer massacre in
1881, the Indian leaders were held
as prisoners of war at Fort Bu-
ford, N. ID. Finally the secretary
OF war ordered the chiefs taken to
the Standing Rock reservation.
For time the Indian authorities
were at loss to decide on a man
to take charge of the hostile In

ordered to Standing Rock.

"Major Mclaughlin arose and
told Sitting Bull not to do that.
Then he ordered Paul Bloom, who
was a cousin of Mrs. H. H. Grace
of Superior, to bring him his pis-

ordered Fairabault disposed of,
and again the major ordered him
to desist. This time Bull compiled

Roads for Autos
Above Railroad Tracks

From Europe comes this interesting
suggestion for future highways: Ex-
press roads for automobiles built above
the railroad tracks.
1t does not sound SO ridiculous when
one has thought 1t over a little while,
says the Evansville Courier. Suppose
roads could be built for motor vehicles
as long, straight and level as railroad
tracks, with no sharp curves and no in
reference from other kinds of traffic,
and few crossroads even of the same
sort. How that would facilitate long
distance motoring! Automobile tour
lists could travel safely as fast as the
railroad trains, with none of the usual
petty annoyances they now meet with,
and added thrill and pleasure from be-
ing up in the air.
There are practical difficulties, to be
sure. The railroad owners would have
to consent to the use Of their property
for that purpose, and be properly COM
pensated. Construction would be ex-
pensive. Bridges and tunnels and deep
cuts would offer difficult engineering
problems YET the thing might be done.
And some kind of express roads will
have to be provided before many years.

BEST TO SMOTHER
CARDURETOR FIRE
Pouring on Water Simply Floats
Lighter Gasoline and Makes
1t Burn Better.

(By ERWIN ORDER President Greer Col
lese OF Automotivs Engineering. Chicago.)
How gasoline burns or explodes is
what puts fear into the average man
and makes him stand at what he con-
siders a safe distance while he
watches his car or truck 60 up In
smoke. If the fuel tank contained
twenty, ten or even one gallon of or
binary black gunpowder, his fear
would be exceedingly well founded,
since whenever fire reaches any part
Of a mass Of gunpowder, it all ex-
plodes in small fraction of sec
ond. Fortunately gasoline alone is
not only non-explosive but will not
even burn unless 1t Is first evaporated
and the vapor In contact with the
oxygen of the air.
Safe to Fight Fire.
Even If the gasoline tank is under
the cowl or under the front seat,
there is little danger of its contents
being ignited from carburetor fire
unless it is allowed to burn for sew
eral minutes. II the gas tank has its
screw cap in position, the walls of
the tank must be red hot (almost)
above the liquid surface line before
the fpel inside the tank will be set
on fire. Hence 1t is perfectly safe to
fight che carburetor fire before it has
had time to heat up things too much.
First Thing to DO.
The first thing to do, of course, is
to close the valve in the pipe line be-
tween tank and carburetor The next
Is to smother the FIRE. Pouring on
water is worse than useless because
1t will simply float the lighter gasoline
and oil to the surface and make it
burn better. A wetted cloth or bag,
however, is effective and may be used.
Anything that viii not itself burn
very rapidly will do to shut off the
air supply from the burning gasoline.
Wool does not burn so fast as cotton,
hence wooden coat, overcoat, lap
robe, rug or blanket may be the hand
lest thing to push up tightly around
and over the burning fuel.
II wool Is not at hand, cotton fabric
Of any kind, If fairly thick will an
swer. Road dust, sand even sugar,
salt or -four, wheat barley, or other
threshed grain, in fact anything that
will stop or greatly slow down the
flow of air will do the business.
Usually small carburetor fire, if
put out promptly, will not do enough
injury to the machine to prevent
ready starting after things have
cooled down enough to permit turn
ing on the gasoline again.

spite of the fact that cracks ordinarily
do no actual damage to the road. En-
gineers state that the effect Of the
cracks is largely psychological, in that
the average motorist associates crack
ing with disintegration. However,
this has proved to be erroneous, as the
crack merely necessitates a small
amount of maintenance, and no actual
damage is done to the road itself.
Another interesting experiment
which has been tried out by Maine
highway engineers produced some yalu-
able information In regard to drainage
of concrete roads. On some of the
projects the concrete slabs had been
placed on heavy rock foundation, the
theory being that such a foundation
gave substantially and provided drain
age Study of the results convinced
the engineers that this was not the
fact and that instead of providing
drainage the rock base furnished a
place for water to settle and freeze. A
decision was reached to eliminate the
rock foundations and provide drainage
at the side of the road to take water
away from the roadbed. The results
soon proved the ACCESSIBILITY of this
procedure

STRAIGHTEN HEADLIGHT BEAM
Trouble Caused by Refectors Being
Loose and Gradually Working
Out of Line.

Beams from the headlights being
out of focus is not always caused by
bent lamp brackets or tenders to
which the brackets are usually fas-
tened, as is generally supposed. The
trouble may lie in the refectors being
loose from their fastenings and grad
ually working out of line, or it may be
due to the lamp bulbs themselves. If
the filament Is not centered in bulb,
it will throw beam to the side or up
or down, according to the way 1t is
bent. The only remedy for this trou-
BILE is to replace the bulb.

IMPROVED
ROADS
Putting Cracks in Roads
to Prevent Other Cracks

Putting in a crack to prevent crack
ing sounds contradictory, but that is
exactly what is being done by highway
engineers on some of the modern con-
crete road projects. Such an innova-
ton is only one Of the many new ideas
developed in this type Of highway con-
struction during the last few years.
The idea of building crack into the
road at the time of construction has
been tried and found satisfactory in a
number Of instances. The crack" con-
sists Of a traffic center line down the
middle of the road as shown In the IL
lustration. In addition, there are d.
vidlng lines running crosswise of the
road about every fifty feet So the road
becomes a series of concrete slabs so
feet long and half as wide as the road.
The center line is continuous. By
using this method highway engineers
in the state of Maine secured excellent
results, as cracking has been practical
ly eliminated.
Experiments on the manner of pre-
venting cracking were carried out in

MUST HAVE GOOD MEMORY
Checker of Hats in Hotel Can Give
No Adequate Explanation
of His Power.

The checkers Of hats in large hotels
have remarkable memories. Doubtless
many young men were employed and
discharged before one was found who
could learn to take 300 hats from men
entering the dining room and distribute
them as the diners left, without checks
and without an error. In a city lunch
con club with nearly 400 members, for
example, says Edgar James Swift, the
usual method of paging man who is
wanted has been changed to asking
the colored man in the hat room
whether the man in question has ar
rived. And glance over the hat racks
gives accurate information.
Conversation with those who display
this wonderful and peculiar memory
has always brought essentially the
same reply. They have no system.
They talk vaguely about something
which, in psychological language, is
association between the appearance of
the hat and the face of the owner
