At about one thirty in the after

into a narration of the events con-

Here is something interesting
about the wild horses of Montana.
Frank R. Kent says in the Balti-
more Sun that three years ago,
when the cattle business blew up,
hundreds of Montana cattle men
were literally ruined. They sold
their COWS and sheep for what they
would bring, turned their horses
loose on the range, jumped on the
train and left the state. Those
| horses have multiplied so fast that
there are now more than 100000
Of them running wild in the state.
| They can live on less than buff
falo could, breed faster, and the
wild horse has become a real Mon
tana problem.
That story will be dOubted-S00,
900 wild horses here would not

! to have that many running wild,
but it isn't anything to get excited

PENNSYLVANIA MAKES
RECORD IN ROAD WORK
1,1O0 Miles of Surfacing Will
Have Been Done by End of
Year. Says Report.

A new record in road work has
beeu achieved in Pennsylvania, aC-
Cording to a preliminary report OF the
State Highway Department, which
states that a total of 100 miles of
new hard road surfacing will have
been constructed by the end of 1929.
of which 900 miles will consist OF new
pavements.
This road construction IS 223 miles
soOre than ever accomplished by
The highway department in that state;
the best previous achievement con-
sisted of GIT miles of new pavement,
built in 1921.
PENNSYLVANIA rural roads total
90 900 miles, of which l0,274 miles
constitute what is known AS the state
highway system. Construction work
during 1925 brings the improved roads
in this system to approximately $500
miles. More than half this mileage Is
concrete. The remainder comprises
dirt roads.
progress in Pennsylvania covers a
neriod of 10 wears, since before that
time the state had few roads tit either
TO bear heavy motor trafhc or TO make
Measure motoring comfortable. N1thln
a decade the state has improved It's
road system to the point OF having
one of the best systems Of any state
in the Nation.
The sum OF s196 900. 600 was spent
on the highway system from 1911 tc
1929. but even greater impetus was
given the road construction work IN
1919. From that year to 1873 Slo0,.
600 900 was spent. 1t IS estimated
sbot from January !, 1928, to Janu
arv /, 1927. expenditures for road
work under the jurisdiction of the de-
nartment of highways will be about
S22O, 100000.

TRAFFIC TAKES BIG
TOLL OF CHILDREN
Baltimore Victims Mostly Under
10 Years and Adults
Over so.

Children under 10 years old and
adults over 30 are most frequently the
victims in fatal traffic accidents in
Baltimore.
a notable increase of fatal accidents
among those two classes is disclosed
in figures compiled by the statistical
department of the Baltimore Safety
Council. In the first group. 80 were
killed this year, as against IS in 1924;
and in the latter group, Al were killed.
as against 81 in 1924.
OF children from 10 to IS years old,
which group is under the influence of
the Junior safety councils in the
schools, only have been killed in
the last eight months, as compared
with 13 in the same period of 1924.
Among this group non-fatal injuries
also decreased.
The increase among the old and the
very young groups, said Preston D.
Callum, who compiled the Safety
Councils figures, is responsible for the
increase in the whole number of traf.
tic fatalities this year, the figures be.
ing 95 in 1924 and 118 this year.
During October, Mr.. Callum'S fig
ures reveal. not q single child of school
age was killed in q traffic accident.
This was held due to education in
safety, stressed in the schools.

CONDUCTED TESTS
OF CRANK CASE OIL
Expert Says Dilution Not Always
Direct Cause of Scored
Cylinders.

Dilution of crank case oil with un-
burned fuel and water Is not the di-
rect cause of scored engine cylinders
and burned-out bearings. This Is
shown by tests described by Albert
LIE Roy, ssistant professor of mechan-
ical engineering at the University of
Utah, in the Journal of the Society
of Automotive Engineers.
In general. the results of these tests
indicate that dilution of the oil up to
engine so far as increased friction
and temperature Of the bearings were
concerned, although such dilution may
be injurious in other ways, as in loss
of power due to leakage of gas past
the piston. Many motor vehicles are
in operation with oil diluted from 25
to so per cent without any apparent
Ill effects.
So long as film of oil can be main
tanned between the bearing surfaces,
dilution does not affect the friction
or the bearing temperature, according
to Professor LIE Roy, but when the film
breaks down, both friction and tenn
perature increase. The tests indicate
that the film does not break down un-
til the oil becomes highly diluted If the
pressure on the hearing is low, but
when the pressure Is increased the di-
luted oil seems to be squeezed out from
between the surfaces more easily than
undiluted oil. Bearing presSureS in an
automobile usually do not exceed 286
pounds per square inch. Light engine
oil films break down more readily than
heavy Oil films.

DID YOU KNOW

That the adjustment which permits
of changing the charging rate Of the
generator is sealed so that if you. or
an unauthorized repairer, breaks it
the generator manufacturers guaran-
tee Is voided?
That the riding qualities OF a car
often can be improved by changing
the air pressure in the tires? Where
cars are not evenly balanced. with
greater weight in the front, the front
tires should carry more air than the
rear ones. This simple plan also may
be employed as a means of reducing
the tendency to skid. With the rear
tires less inflated and making better
contact with the roadway the rear of
the car has less opportunity to skid.
That gasoline, not kerosene, should
lie used to clean roller bearings? Case
line dries quickly and thus does not
thin the grease in which the bearings
are afterward packed.
