It is an interesting fact that 49,

the building of a modern automobile
There are 40 different and distinct

country contributes something to the
making OF motor car.
The modern automotive engineer
must be a mechanical engineer to start
with and In addition to this training
he must be somewhat of an electrical
engineer, thermodynamic engineer, a
metallurgist. physicist, hydraulic en-
gineer, chemist. production en-
gineer, salesman. an executive and an
artist. Among the most important at

Engineers Personal Status.
The automotive engineer has a keen
appreciation OF his personal public re-
sponsibility, just as has the designer
OF bridge or the architect of a great
building, Automobiles are such COM
monty accepted equipment for normal
living now that little thought or at
tention is given them. A locomotive
runs two or three hundred miles and
then is put in the round house for
rigid inspection. The motor car runs
thousands of miles with never thought
given it beyond OIL gas and water. 1t
travels at higher speeds than the
average locomotive, is in more con-
slant service and runs over all kinds
of roads instead Of along smooth steel
rails. 1t has to be made with a mini
mum weight and yet into it has to be
designed the maximum In safety.

to explain the reports about shortage of
gas at times in that city. The following
are excerpts from the replies received:
KANSAS CITY, MO-:
Several years ago Kansas City was con-
fronted during the periods of peak load,
with shortage of gas. Since that time,
however, additional fields have been
opened up additional pipe lines provided,
so we are assured of adequate supply for
a long time in the future"

er been any criticism"

this city, ! am pleased to say that it is
entirely satisfactory"
KANSAS CITY, KAN:

isfactorv."

Natural gas has been great advantage
to the city.

installed in the last two years. and the
service seems very satisfactory"

Industrial Gas Company who are coming
in to sell gas for industrial use only"

ural gas at reasonable rates is one of the
outstanding advantages of our city. 1t

both household and industrial uses at
reasonable rates"

that goes with the coal burning communi-
ties For this reason the maintenance of

AT this time, office buildings, manufac.
turing plants, apartment houses, mer-
camille establishments, and private resi-
dences are using gas as fuel almost with
out exception"
"Your community would undoubtedly be
exercising the very best of judgment to
vote favoraby upon a proposition to
bring an adequate supply of natural gas
to your city and render it available both
for domestic and industrial use"

FOREST STUDY

Minnesota RefOreStation In
term Commission to
Take Junket to Eastern
States; Senator Larson
to Accompany.

An intensive study of reforestation
and delinquent tax problems, is to be
made by the Minnesota Reforestation
Interim commission appointed in the
1927 session of the legislature, On a
tour of the east to be begun May 9.
Among those who will make the
trip is State Senator A. S. Larson of
Sandstone, who is the only man from
the tenth congressional district who
will accompany the commission.
The commission is composed of five
senators and five house members, with
the lieutenant governor, w. l. Nolan,
as chairman, and one additional
member, w. L. Douglas, St. Paul, for
mer attorney general, appointed by
the governor.
Places to be Visited.
The party will visit Madison, Wis.,,

Mass; Albany, N. Y; Washington, D.
c.; Harrisburg, Pa; and Montreal,
Can.
The commission will present its find
ings to the. next legislature, with
view to adopting some workable legis-
lation for Minnesota.
The idea in mind" according to
Senator larson, lis that inasmuch as
the state Of Minnesota is the biggest
land owner in the state, some sections
of land peculiarly adapted to reforest-
alton, ought to be set off for that pur-
pose only. This land should not be
SOLD for agricultural purposes to
stray settler here and there, thereby
creating additional burdens in the
matter of providing schools and roads
for the few
Smaller Tax Aimed.
Included in the proposals, is that of
levying smaller tax on forest lands
in order to promote forestation, and it
is hoped to gain. some workable ideas
from a study of the laws in states
like Michigan, Maine, Pennsylvania,
and Canada, where they already have
what are believed to be good meas
ureS. ...r
1T is a certainty forest lands cam
not pay the tax agriculture is able to
pay, so it therefore remains for Min

Those who will make the tour are:

of the house, Senators Fred w. Bes-
