CHAPTER VII
The Water Mine


They were all In the patio. talking
IN the dusk. The conversation had
become general. Caleb was a listener.
He had found. to his relief. that. after
the earnestly expressed thanks OF
Clinton. OF his daughter and OF Car
men, he was not regarded In the light
Of hero. II seemed to be generally
granted that any OF them would have
done-or tried to do-exactly as he
had done and he was grateful for the
way they took 1t. Carmen managed
to lnfuse something personal into her
thanks. a warmth that hInted that the
exploit had been all for her sake. with
Betty a more or less incidental acces-
sorry.
Caleb was a listener from prefer
ence. He wanted to analyze, II he
could. something Of the STRINGS Of
these westerners.
The talk was mainly Of Brompt0n's
historic series OF panels, the subject
introduced by Betty Clinton. with the
idea, Caleb thought, OF covering him
from Carmen's sallies. 1t was very
plain that the artist was head over
heels In love with the vivacious bru-
nette. who kept him dangling. Caleb,
smoking, pondered over Betty Clin-
toms attitude. Did she intend to
marry Thurston7 he wondered. The
rancher was on emInently Intimate
terms with the family. She called
him by his first name, Wendell

determined TO make a thorough inves-
tigation Of Caliente plain.
With his pocket instruments he
managed TO get. unnouced. tolerable
surveys Of elevations and distances.
He had proven, to his own satisfac-
ton, that the upper end OF the plain
was furnished with a basin OF water
at uniform level. a great supply. bot
toned and sided with clay and capped
with the same, through which cap
ping the artesian water spouted wher-
ever It was bored for. The Welsh
Water-Flnder did not have to be a
great wizard to score hits in this re-
gion, he decided. But he had a fur
ther use In mind for the man.

Overlooking OF trucks is the big
cause OF excessive tire wear. Per-
haps no part of the truck Is subjected
to greater strain on overloads than
the tires.
Where pneumatics are used this
practice does as much damage to truck
tires as a complete disregard Of the
rules Of imitation. With regard to the
latter subject. the tire manufacturers
instructions on imitation OF truck tires
should be observed consistently. Over
imitation Is. In most cases. as danger
ous as underinfiati0n.
Even braklng is necessary to obtain
maximum wear and tear. Assuming
even pull, the proper place to make
hrst adjustment Is at the brake band
or shoe, not at any other part of the
mechanism. Regular inspection OF
brakes Is necessary and an even con-
tact OF the band at all points is requl-
site In good adjustment. Uneven con-
tact OF brake bands is the cause OF
'ehattering' when brakes are applied.

RED TO YELLOW
CHANGE FOUGHT
Switch of Tail Light Is OPP
posed by Majority of
A. A. A. Clubs.

Since the adjournment. OF the sec
ond national conference on street and
highway safety, the American Auto
mobile association has conducted a
canvass OF sentiment among it's affiIi-
ated clubs as TO the proposal made
at the conference to change the tail
lights Of automobiles from red to yell
low.
1t develops. according to A. A. A.
headquarters, that the motor clubs
already heard from regarding this
proposed innovation are against It.
and take the position that such a
change. applying to 20,OOO,OO0 motor
vehicles would caus6 untold CON
fusion on the highways and would
inevitably tend to increase the tell
OF trafiic accidents.
Rank and File Oppose.
This was practically the one prop
ositlon on which the A. A. A. took is
sue with the recommendation made
by the committees Of the Hoover con-
ference and Il was at the insisfence
Of club executives that a decision on
the tan light was postponed. All de-
veIopments since the conference in
dicate. II is stated, that the rank and
fle Of the motoring public stand by
the resolution adopted at the time
by the A. A. A. as follows:
THAT the secretaries Of clubs nf
flIated with the American Automo-
bile association in convention as
sembied hereby condemn the pro-
posed change as being detrimental
to public safety and to the best In
terest Of 20O0O.OO0 motor vehicle
owners"
Railways Want H.
Although no mention was made IN
the resolution Of the forces urging the
change, II was well known that the
railroads and the motor clubs were
on different sides Of the fence on this
Important matter. Notice has been
served by the A. A. A. that proper
provision must be made for represen-
tation Of the motorists before any com
mitfee that takes up this question
for further study, as provided by the
safety conference.
