Is the two-cycle engine used
for automobiles? What are the
essential differences between it
and the four-cycle type?
The two cycle engine is used, to
limited extent, for automobiles the
essential difference between it and
the four cycle type is that the four
operations of admission, compress
sion, impulse, and exhaust. compris-
ing the working cycle, are performed
in one revolution instead of two.
There is, then one impulse for each
revolution. From this, it follows
that the weight is much less than
that required for the four-cycle en-
CINE.

family talk on the subject will do no
harm. The best we could show them
was how much we have done in high
way construction with comparatively
little money. The Minnesota Legis-
lature has been miserly to the ex-
treme in supplying funds for this
work. The highway department has
made good showing in methods OF
dirt road building, which has been
done as economically as it ever can
be. The South Americans came TO
Minnesota to see gravel roads,
cheap roads. They had seen al
ready thousands of miles of pave
ment in other states. Even North
Carolina, long considered a back
ward state, showed the Spanish
Americans the results of bond
issue of $6O,OO0,000. Minnesota
has not yet allowed the automobile
owners to borrow $20,OOO,O0O for
such purposes, even on condition
that they pay back the whole prin-
cipal and interest. The visitors saw
what Illinois is accomplishing by
borrowing 5000, 100000 on the faith
and credit of all taxpayers.
The South Americans were sur,
prised by the quality of the grave
road from Elk River to Crane
Rapids, for example, but there Is
travel enough on that highway tt
Justify a pavement every foot OF
| the way. Over most of it there l:
traffic of more than 500 vehicles
dav. at which point all engineer:
agree it is poor economy not to have
a pavement. In a very few year!
travel will increase until 1T Will o'

any part of the distance
1t was explained to the visitors
that dirt roads are more difficult t.
maintain in Minnesota than general
ly elsewhere, because there is
great deal of Doggy land, especial!
in the northern part of the state
This situation exists noticeably OF
the St. Paul-Duluth road. The best
made roadway has tendency t.
sink in spots. On the Miller high
way, however, between Eveleth ant
Duluth, pavement has been laid witt

CHISHOLM HITS
HARD AND WINS.
RAIN ENDS 90 TIE GAME AT
EVELETH AND ELY FAILS
TO CLIMB.
League Standing.

Rain put an end to 90 tie game
at Eveleth Sunday and Ely lost an
opportunity to move into third
place when Chisholm won 17-9 here
Saturday. Hibbing retained the
lead of the race when they PLAYED
a ten inning tie with Marble. The
two teams meet again today.
Eveleth pile up an eight run
lead in the first two innings but
Ely steadily lessened it and then
tied it the last time up. Glanottl
was unsteady at the start but
Gained down and pitched winning
ball for the remainder of the game
Bases on balls, errors and two hits
gave Eveleth a commanding lead II
the opening sessions.
Ely diminished the lead in the
third by counting four times. Jes-
mer playing his first game for Ely
crashed out double during the
fracas. Tagging behind by one
run Ely opened the last inning as II
pointed for victory. c. Chinn got
on and Hoefler worked a base or
balls. Clark caught Chinn too fan
away from his base and threw him
out. Hoefier was out trying to
steal.
H. Chinn got a pass and stole
second. Mason smacked out an op-
perfume two-bagger and Ely tied
the score. Lambert ended the rally
by flying out. Eveleth went out III
short order. Then ''the heavens
opened and the rain fen".

CAS- TAXES SHOULD
APPLY ON ROADS.
DEMAND FOR BETTER ROADS
WILL CARRY PROPOSAL.

Miner readers wishing all auto
mobile tax revenue used for road
improvements will vote yes on the
gas tax amendment next November.
Under a ruling by Attorney Gen
eral C. L. Hilton, the legislature now
can impose tax on gasoline but
the receipts must go into the gen.
eral state expense fund. The only
effect of the gas tax amendment, it
is explained, will be to put into the
state road fund the income from any
gas tax that may be levied.
All other details are for the leg
islature to determine, says para
graph in the current highway bull
letin following many inquiries about
the gas tax proposal. The legis-
lature has full authority to levy
taxes on motor vehicles and on
gasoline sales as well and to fix all
rates, it continues. 1t has power to
revise present rates either upward
or downward. About the only pow
er it lacks in this instance is that
to place any gas tax collections IN
the highway fund.
That deficiency will be supplied
by the votes of nearly 100000
car and truck owners at the Novem-
Der election, their representatives
assert, because auto owners will in
sist that auto and like taxes be used
only to improve roads. They hold
they are entitle to have their
taxes expended for better highways
which afford them tangible and di-
rect results.
Automobile club officials foresee a
strong probability that a gas tax
will be voted in the legislature re-
gardless of the outcome of the
referendum. This is because SO
states report it popular and because
it will take from auto tourists from
other states upwards of half mil
lion dollars annually to swell Min
nesota road funds. 1t is generally
agreed also that the rate will be
cents a gallon, the average in other
states being slightly higher.
The question of making the gas
tax an additional highway levy or
offsetting it with a reduction in the
auto taxes may occasion a fight be-
tween the faction clamoring for
lower taxes all down the line and
those who contend that average
trunk highway users can profit every
year by paying more taxes on their
cars and trucks. However, the
bulletin states, that also will be for
the legislature to decide.

Stolen bases, double plays, good

everything in baseball but home
runs were executed before a small
crowd last Saturday. But the sad
point of it was that Chisholm won
'17-9. At that they did not have
the game cinched until the last Ses-
sion.
Despite the score the game was
interesting and if Ely had won the
fans would have voted it a highly
satisfactory afternoon.
Five moundSmen were used. Roma
tar gave both Chinn and Kowalke a
chance but neither was effective.
For Chisholm Giffie lasted until the
eighth when Zgonc was rushed in.
He pitched to one batter who singled
and was rushed out. Chaput ended
the spree with two successive strike
outs. Although Ely made almost as
many hits as Chisholm the latter
punched them more effectively.
Ely came within one run of tieing
the count in the eighth but the Wis
itors made the game secure by cross
ing the plate seven times in the
ninth. This is the first game CHS
holm has won from Ely in three
starts.
