JAMES WATERS, 17-YEAR WRANGELL HIGH ROY
 GETS CAPTAINS PAPERS

James Waters, aged IT, and q student in the Wrangel High School has received Captains papers which entitle him to command any boat 65 feet or less int length.
 The young man recently passed splendid examination under Cap tain Whitney, and is to be congratu- lated upon receiving papers at such an early age.
 James Waters has had experience from infancy that was such as to particularly fit him to command a boat, especially in the waters of Southeastern Alaska.
 For several years his father. Cap tain Walter Waters. operated the mail boat between Wrangell and the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, and during this time he spent his school vacations on the boat with his father.
 He also spent several vacations on his fathers boat under charter to Dr Buddington of the T. g. Geo logical Survey party.
 Ii would be hard to find a man who knows more about the waters of Southeastern Alaska than this 17-year old captain.

OF four or five years ago was q high
numbering looking affair with a per-
ceptible climb from the curb into
the seating compartments.
Today the occupants step off the
curb and into the body with far
greater ease and comfort than ever
before. And they have the same
amount of room and greater comfort
than they had in the skyscraper
bodies.
The larger cars have shown greater
accomplishments than have the
smaller ones and the next step in
body development may be looked for
among builders of the small, light
cars which constitute better than
60 per cent of all the cars in use at
the present time.
The adoption of the European type
of chassis and power plant design,
which has been generally prophesied
during the past few months, will
force a change in body design.
When the European type small car
makes its appearance in this coun-
try 1t will bring with 1t speed and
performance abilities which are not
associated with the present day light
car. One can expect 60 miles an hour
and an acceleration equal to that
OF many OF our present light skies
despite the fact that the trend indi-
Gates that the new type car, when 1t
comes, will have cylinder
motor.
This speed development will
necessitate low hung bodies in order
to secure the necessary road stabil-
ity and security in driving curves
and rough roads. At the present time
there are motor cars in which the
top OF the roof is not much over six
feet from the bottom of the tires.
The European type small car. II
built by American manufacturers,
will bring this height still lower to
the ground and one may expect
bodies which will be well under six
feet in total height from the ground.

1t may take some time to become
fully accustomed to bodies of this
height for at first glance they will
appear small. 1t Is, however, entire
ly possible to build such a body and
afford all the inside room which is
found in our present light cars.
Such a trend in small car bodies
will add materially to the appearance
value of the cars for they will re-
semble the low hung bodies of our
higher priced and larger models and
will give the designer full sway in
securing a trim and attractive COM
bination OF lines and effects.
The factors which will have to be
taken into consideration will be
spring suspension, the method in
which the body is supported on the
frame. and the size of the tires.
Balloon tires, which are rapidly
becoming standard equipment on all
cars, will offer the opportunity to
use tires of smaller diameter than
are used at present and these tires
will afford greater comfort, greater
road stability and longer life than
we have found from tire equipment
in the past.

Why Race Cars
Are So Speedy

Indianapolis, Ind, May 2S-(Spe-
ciaD-One outstanding feature of the
1926 race classic to be held here
Monday is the large number of lead
ing figures of the automotive indus
try 1t will attract.
Though each year finds many mo-
tor car engineers. DESIGNERS and 9TH
er general executives here to witness
the testing of new ideas or improve
ments in design, the present race Will
attract even more than usual. This
is regarded as a reflection Of the
wider general interest that speedway
racing Is gaining throughout the
country. The Indianapolis 500-mile
classic has captured public interest
as a national sporting event ever
since it's inception.
But for several years prior to 1923,
automobile racing appeared steadily
to be losing its place on the calendar
as a major sports event. Since that
time, the building of new tracks and
the attraction of enormous crowds
here and at the other leading tracks
at Culver City, Charlotte, Altoona,
Atlantic City, Salem, N. H.. and Lau-
rel. Nd, indicate the even greater
national interest 1t is now enjoying.
The reason for this renewed inter-
cSt Is easy u llIlu, dCCOTQlIlS 10 race
drivers and others who have exam
ined the situation closely. 1t Is the
new tremendous speeds attained, and
the practical certainty that every race
will see one or more records shat
tered because Of the dizzy speeds at
which the tiny creations now travel.
In that connection. two of the cell
ebrities here for Mondays big race
would be perfectly justified in clasp
ing each other by the hand and sing
ing 1--WE did it," Those two are
Harry Miller, Of Los Angeles, builder
Of the Miller race cars, and Bob
Stranahan. president of the Cham
pioneSpark Plug Co., of Toledo.
Miller Is the man who, practically
alone, is responsible for the develop
ment of the present-day race cars.
And he frankly confesses that he
could not have built his engines had
it not been for the improvements in
spark plugs developed by the COM
pany of which Mr.. Stranahan is
president
"That racing plug Is exactly the
same one as is used by two-thirds
Of the motorists the world over"
added Mr.. Stranahan. Naturally, II
is particularly designed to fit the rae
ing engine just as ordinary motor
car engines require different designs.
But the materials in it are identical
with those that enter into every
spark plug we make"

1t is extremely doubtful If the time

put on series of tests that proved

Records of scouting cars that were

these conclusions. In order to make

route was first travelled at highest

rest, the car exceeding the limit in
Is and 20 mile zones by 5 miles when
ever possible and taking advantage
of every occasion to make time.
The same driver went over the
same route second time. observing
speed laws absolutely and conform
ing strictly to the mandates of the
law and rules of safe and efficient
driving.
A summary Of these trips over
different routes across the city and
back again shows that the driver
who hurried and endangered life,
limb and property saved only a total
of ten minutes out of two hours
driving. or a fraction over five min

of the three routes across the city
was 31.5 miles, or an AVERAGE of 1915
miles to the trip, one showing d saw
ing of five minutes, another three
minutes. and the other two minutes.
Police department officials and
traffic experts from these tests point
out that in driving to save a possible

drivers are using extra gasoline,
