MOTORTRUCK BIG
HELP TO FARMER
Economical Movement of
Live Stock and Other
Produce to Markets.

In less than two years this country
has witnessed an amazing development
in transportation over our highways.
Economical movement of live stock and
other produce from the farm, and the
increasing shipments of various kinds
of freight by motortruck has become a
constantly growing problem for the
road builder. Transportation in this
country has direct bearing upon most
of the problems which the American
people must meet and solve. The farm,
with its foodstuffs, must be brought
closer to the city buyers. The farmer
must be able to sell his produce more
nearly direct to the consumer. The
economical transportation of freight by
motortruck should be encouraged and
aided in so far as it does not deprive
the railroads of their just share of the
business. interviewer with this prob
lem of transportation is the fact that
the motortruck, if properly developed,
win go long way toward solving our
transportation problems, and bringing
about a natural economic solution Of

The achievements of the Western
road builder in battering down gigan-
tic barriers and overcoming seemingly
insurmountable obstacles to make ac-
cessible to the public the natural won
ders of the West and to aid develop
ment of Western communities through
the medium of modern highways is the
story told in a new United States De-

ture "The Road Goes Thought"
This film replete with spectacular
road construction shots, with the
scenic grandeur of the national forests
as the background, shows roads being
cut through the giant timbers of the Mt.
Baker National forest, blasted through
walls of solid rock along the precipi-
tous shores of Lake Crescent on the
Olympic peninsula of Washington and
cleared through the tangled mass of
trees blown down by heavy winds In
the now famous Olympic storm zone;
carved into the lodges of precipices a

"The Road Goes Through" reaches
its climax in scenes devoted to the
Guyana project in southern California
where the task of piercing this valley
became the heaviest construction job
in the West. Here the highway engi-
neer found himself facing every prob

Bird in Desperation
Attacked Water Tank

In February, 1924, ten months be-
fore our journey (by motor across the
Sahara) our predecessors had left on
their passage in the midst of the
Tanezruft, big gasoline tank filed
with. water and Theoretically sealed,
says Henri de Kerrilis, in L'Echo de
Paris. AS our route followed their
wheel marks, we came upon It.
But imagine our establishment to
find stretched out beside this tank

Lost in the immensely Of the desert
where there was not even an insect
for company or food, but endowed
with marvellous instinct that we
have not yet begun to fathom, this

We could see where he had cast
himself upon the tank and attacked II
desperately with his beak. The meta

ground was covered with his feathers
where he had beaten himself vainIy
against it. And he had died the same
cruel Saharan death that had over

ULCER OF THE STOMACH

WYE HEAR much more today than
w formerly about ulcer of the
stomach. Does this mean that 1t Is
more common than in former years2
Probably 1t is, but not so much as one
might suppose. Many cases which are
now known to be stomach ulcers were
formerly called chronic dyspepsia"
indigestion" etc. But our habits Of
living and our present-day food have
also probably increased the number of
cases of this very painful and danger
Gus condition.
Ulcers Of the stomach, or round ul-
GERS, as they are also called, are ex-
actly what their name would indicate.
In the mucous membrane which lines
the stomach a round ulcer appears
which destroys the lining membrane
sometimes, If neglected, 1t eats
through the muscular coats and may
finally go clear through the stomach
wall, making a round, punched-out
hole and allowing the stomach con-
tents to escape into the abdominal
cavity, generally causing peritonitis
and death.
These ulcers, in about 95 per cent
Of all cases, are at the lower. end Of
the stomach and usually on the back
rather than the front wall Of the
stomach.
what causes them? No one knows
positively. There are several theories.
one is that blood vessel in some way
becomes stopped up and the part Of
the wall supplied by it dies and soft
tens, causing an ulcer to FORM An
other is that germs from other parts
of the body lodge on the membrane
and cause Inflammation and liberation.
Apparently there is a close relation
between infection and ulcers.
The symptoms Of stomach ulcer
are quite characteristic. A gnawing,
burning, boring pain or cramp, coming
on from one to three hours after eat
ing but absent when the stomach LIS
empty, is common. Pain is relieved
by eating or by taking soda or mag
nesia. Washing out the stomach re-
| lieves the pain. The stomach con-
tents are usually strongly acid. If the
pain is severe enough to keep the pa
tient from eating, there may be loss
Of weight.
In the early stages or in mild cases
the patient viii generally recover If
put to bed and kept for four weeks
on soft, nonirritating diet. If the
ulcer has gotten to the point of per-
foration or If bleeding has begun, sur
gical treatment is generally unavoid-
able.

Tire Tale Recommended
as Superior Lubricatol

Tire tale, rather than graphite and
other oily preparations, makes the
best lubricator between the inner tube
and the casing.
Motorists are cautioned, however, to
exercise care in the use of tire tale,
as too much is fully as damaging as
too little. Too free use Of tire tale
special prepared soapstOne for tire
use-wiIl cause quantity of the pow
er collecting in one place, generate
heat, give the tube a soft and hubby
appearance and form weak spot.
The tale should be distributed evenly
over the surface; shifting or rotating
tube is a simple and efficient method
Graphite is an excellent Iubricator
for tire subjected to extra heavy duty
and excessive speeds Racing drivers
use graphite, but only after sitting
through a sieve made of cheesecIoth
onto the revolving tube. This meth
| cd is necessary, otherwise several
fakes of graphite might accumulate in
one point, thereby causing deteriora-
tion-the oil in graphite being foe to
rubber
! For the average motorist--for the
man who does not run his car continu-
ousIy, day in and day out. the judi
Ncious use of tire tale Is strongly rec
commended.

Automobile Now Termed
Neighborhood Expander

The automobile has made neighbor-
hood bigger term. With a good car
it is as easy to visit your friend ten
miles distant as it used to be to call
on one within sight of your home.
Not only has the automobile enlarged
the neighborhood; it has in a sense
made the whole country one neigh
borhood, and broken down sectional
lines.
1t is an interesting study during the
touring season to note the states from
which cars hail as they speed by on
pleasure bent. Remote parts of the
Union will be found represented in
every popular touring section. Those
who travel by automobile come into
more intimate touch with the coun-
try than those who travel by train.
The car goes right by the door; the
life of the people unfolds in an ever
changing panorama.
The motorist who keeps his eyes
open can get knowledge of the
country and the people excelled only
by that of the pedestrian as he moves
at his snail-like pace. Added knowl-
edge always means the breakdown
of sectional lines. Give credit, then,
to the automobile as a unifying inhu-
ence in national life.

some of these were very beautiful and
sparkled like jewels in the light of
their lanterns
Then they came to spot where the
tunnel branched off in three directions.
The Crockeyjoy read the markings on
signpost which was placed in the
center of them.
wait here for me-" he said to Ruth,
I'll be back in just few minutes,
and, by the way, If you hear anyone
coming, hide behind that big tree root
over there and don't let them see you
If you can help it." Then he hurried
off and Ruth saw the light from his
lantern grow fainter and at last vanish.
Ruth hung her lantern on the sign
post, then sat down. At first she was
not uncomfortable. The longer she
waited, though the JUNIPER she felt.
At last she got so frightened that she
hid herself behind the big tree root
which the Crockeyjoy had pointed out
to her. A moment later she was
thankful, indeed, that she had done
this, for great brown animal came
trotting down one of the tunnels. He
stopped at the signpost and rubbed
his nose against it, but he paid no
heed to the lantern and was quickly
on his way again. Ruth thought that
this was very odd. Then she heard
other footballs and crouched down once
more. This time it was the Cr0ckey-
| joy, only he was riding now instead
of walking, and he was also leading a
steed for Ruth. Out she stepped, got
the lantern from the signpost. and
then climbed into the saddle. Away
they went. 1t was a glorious ride
through scenes more beautiful than
Ruth had ever imagined. At last they
stopped at great underground spring
and while their animals were drink
Ing, the Crockeyjoy explained that
these steeds Of theirs were a species
Of blind moles and were very tame
and gentle and never hurt anyone
"And now we had best be getting
home," he added. At that they turned
their mole-hOrses about and headed
! back. 1t seemed no time at all unit
they were at the mouth Of the tunnel
The next thing Ruth knew she was
rubbing her eyes and her big Maltese
cat was purring and rubbing himself
against her shoulder. When he die
mat Ruth knew he was hungry, 81
away they ran to the pantry to fine

Public Wants Highways
as Traffic Increases

We have made some progress along
the way toward complete improvement
of the highways of this country in the
last ten years. The statistics give US
credit for more than 100000 miles of
surfaced road, and nearly all of it has
been improved within a decade. Per
haps 1t is time TO ask the doughboy's
question: Where do we go from here?
One thing is certain, and that is that
we are going to have better roads in
this country. The public demands
them. There has been manifest of late
some reaction against the expenditure
Of public funds for roads. There can
be no avoiding that expenditure. With
more than 100000 motor vehicles
now operating on our highways, addi-
tional mileage of improved highways
and the maintenance Of those already
improved Is huge work that can
neither be laid aside nor neglected,
says report of the federal bureau Of
public roads. The cost Of operating
and maintaining these motor vehicles
on the highways in their present con-
dition will be greater than the cost
of improving and maintaining the road
ways so that they will be equal to the
traffic demands
In other words, with the number Of
motor vehicles now In operation, the
public at large will pay in other ways
a sum greater than the cost Of i'm
proved highways Ii we do not improve
the highways. Unless the states build
them the locality must, and the voice
of experience proclaims it very fool
ish thing for the people of state to
decide not to support an adequate pro-
gram Of state road building as means
of decreasing taxes, because it is much
more likely to increase taxes.
This recalls President Coolidge's
declaration "No expenditure of pub
lie money contributes so much to the
national wealth as for building good
roads,"

Adjust Gap Distance on
Spark Plug More Often

Experiment has shown that when
the electrodes Of a spark plug are
formed to sharp point, and high
tension current passed through, the
gap which the current will jump may
be much greater than If the ends Of
the electrodes are formed blunt In the
usual manner This knowledge has
been used on cars which have given
trouble due to the plugs fouling from
the oil. After the electrodes had been
sharpened, they were set to the usEal
gap, after which they gave no further
trouble from fouling. The probable
explanation of this is that the oil does
not collect so readily on the small
points, or that the current cuts through
the oil more easily. 1t will be neces-
sary to adjust the gap distance more
frequently as the small points burn
away quicker than the blunt points.

Hair-Cur[ing Depices

Six hundred patents for new devices
to meet the age-old desire of women
for curly hair have been issued by
the United States patent office, says
Popular Science Monthly. These de-
vices include methods of waving hair
by means of hot air and steam, and
by permanent waving machines. The
first American patent for curling hair
was issued in 1857 to a man named
Lewis, who perfected an iron heated
by pIunging it in hot water.

CIR Ronald Ross is one of the great
~ men Of the British medical profess
sion. He is the man who first worked
out the way in which mosquitoes carry
malaria. He is also one of the lead
ing authorities of the world on trop-
ical medicine.
Speaking recently on the increasing
length of life, he said the average
length Of life can be still further in
creased to one hundred years, at an
expense that would only amount to
sixpence a year for every Englishman.
Eighty years ago." said Sir Ron
aid, ''the average length of life In
London was. about thirty-four years
and seven months for man and
thirty-eight years and four months for
a woman. Today, it is fifty-three
years and nine months for man and
fifty-nine years for woman. Thus
medical science has in 80 years
given us 20 years more Of life"
The editor Of a large city daily,
quoting this remark, says: THAT Is
very interesting, but the entire In
crease in the length of life during
the last so years can hardly be cred
tied to medical science. Better liv-
ing conditions, brought about by mod
ern building and plumbing, have prob
ably done more to prolong life than
anything else, except better food and
bathtubs."
Both Sir Ronald and the editor show
a curious but very common confusion
of ideas. regarding just what is meant
by medical science" The general
idea is that there are two kinds of
knowledge, ordinary knowledge and
Scientific knowledge" and that there
are at least two kinds of science, ordi-
nary science and medical science"
That this is incorrect will be plain
on a moments thought. Science means
knowledge. All knowledge is science,
whether it relates to man or to rocks,
to trees or to engines, to farming or
to flying. All knowledge that is worth
anything is gained by observing and
experimenting, carefully proving each

ence between the farmer and the ex-
pert in the United States Department
Of Agriculture Is that the farmers
knowledge is limited to what is gen.
orally known, while the expert tests
every theory by> carefully conducted
and checked observations and expert
ments.
In the same way medical science"
or what we know about the human
body and It's disorders and care, Is a
part of all knowledge or science. The
student of the body must also know
chemistry, physics, biology and many
other subjects. Certainly modern
building and plumbing, better food and
bathtubs" have helped to prolong
life. But what made these things
possible? Greater knowledge. All
knowledge is science, and science is
one and not many.

ADVENTURES,
By BETTY BROWNE
(copyrisht.)
Ruth Goes Through the Tunnel

Ruth Goes Through the Tunnel
ID nth sat in the shade of the oak
N tree which grew beside her home.
She had put down her sewing because
her finger hurt where the last needle
lab had pricked her. A jaybird chat
tered overhead. She heard scratch
ing on the bark of the tree and just
above her a plump gray squirrel looked
down with eyes bright as shoe buttons.
She closed her eyes for moment.
When she opened them the Crockey-
10y was with her and they were all
ready starting away on an adventure.
Soon she had grown smaller even than
the needle which she had been using
lust a moment before. Ruth now saw
that the Crockeyjoy had on his arm
two lanterns. She wondered for what
they might be used, as it was mid
afternoon and bright daylight.
They walked a long way. At last
they came to the mouth of great
dark tunnel. The Crockeyjoy stopped
and lighted the two lanterns. Then
he gave one to Ruth.
"Follow mes he said. but wasch
out that you don't trip because the
path is rather rough in places.
On they went. At times the cavern
opened out. In other spots 1t was mar
row and the roof was so low that
their heads almost bumped against 1t.
Great rocks jutted out in places and
