BY H. CLIFFORD BROKAw,
Automobile 7reehnteaI Adviser.

There is a saying that no chain Is
stronger than Its weakest link. The
automobile is not made up of a lot
CT similar links. but is made up OF a
great number of various shaped parts.
In reality no automobile Is stronger
than any one of a thousand and more
essential parts. Some of these are very
small. Yet one of the smallest failing
to function as intended puts the big
mass of machinery entirely out of COM
mission.
Two CIaSsificatiOns.
While the automobile Is made up Of
a great many parts, these parts can be
divided into two main claSsiticationS.
The body Of the car represents one
group of parts and the chassis repre-
sents the other. The work of con-
structing the body of an automobile is
one requiring exceptional engineering
skill from q standpoint of designing
and outstanding workmanship from o
standpoint Of putting the parts to-
gether. The engineering skill required
in perfecting the chassis is quite an
other matter. It can readily be seen
that q different type of skill would be
needed in designing and building the
parts of a car which have to do with
chassis.
The chassis itself can be considered
under five major headings, namely, the
running gear, the power plant, the
transmission system, the control sys-
tenn, the shaft and accessories. In con-
Sidering the running gear it is neces-
sary to mention the front and rear
axles, the wheels, the springs and the
frame.
What might be termed the power
plant Of an automobile is composed of
the engine with its fuel system, the
carburetor system, the ignition system,
the cooling system and the lubricating
system. What Is sometimes termed the
drive system consists Of the clutch, the
change speed gears. the drive shaft with
its universal joints, and the diherential.
Then there Is the control system, which
includes the steering apparatus, the
throttle and speed control, the hand
, levers. the foot pedals and the braking
facilities.
Generally Applies.
This sort of makeup of the automo-
bile will apply generally to practically
all automobiles, though 1t will be found
that the actual detailed construction OF
some of these parts will vary with diff
| ferent makes. 1t Is also true that the
| location of some OF the parts of the
automobile chassis will be found In one
place on one make Of car and another
on q different make. For instance, the
| tank holding the gasoline in some cars
is IN front of the driver, and in other
cars Is in the rear of the driver Some
manufacturers use clutch of one type
while others use some othsr type, and
so on through the list, but the funda-
mental principles underlying most OF

CAPITAL USING
MORE WATER

A total of S1,514,1SO,OOO gallons
OF water were consumed in the
District during the 1881 fiscal
year, according to the annual re-
port Of D. w. Holton, superin-
tendent of the water department.
His report estimates that the
per capita consumption was III
gallons daily. The total consump-
ton, which includes water fur
nished to Arlington county, Va,
and neighboring towns in Mary
land, surpassed last years con
sumption by 1868, ATS, 900 gallons.
The greatest amount of water
used in a day was consumed on
August 5, 1890, when 1928, 900
gallons were recorded. The
lowest was 68,673,000 gallons, on
March % last.
Superintendent Holton reported
that an intensive inspection of
metering and special water sur
veys we're being made to stop
leaks. AS a result during the
year 1869 meters which were non
registering were removed or re-
paired. The report said that 86
underground leaks, which cost
1871 900 gallons of water daily,
had been repaired.

TOURIST TRADE
 ONLY FAIR;N0T { TO BEAT RECORD
Canadian National Officials Expect Good Business
 This Year

The Alaska tourist business pro- mises to be fair without approach ing a record, in the view of G. A. McNicholl, General Manager of the Western Division of the Canadian National Railways and Steamships, who was a local visitor last night Accompanied by Col c. Brown, Manager of the B. c. Coast Lines, and Reginald Beaumont, District Traffic Manager, he is making the round trip aboard the flagship Prince Henry which was in port several hours last night.
 Reservations this year are slight ly ahead of last, and there have been fewer cancellations, MT Mc- Nicholl said. Business this year ought to be more satisfactory than in 1880 since the bookings made for the current season were made dur ing the depression rather than be- fore it had really occurred as was the case last year
 It was Col. Browns first trip to

Alaska. And he was out to see everything there was to see. He and Mrs. Brown went to Menden- hall Glacier. After they returned, despite the lateness of the hour they went to the Capitol, and later, visited the business district of the town. He tried not to miss any thing worthwhile. T have visited about every section of the world except this, and I really believe this is the most charming he said Ut is the premier tourist trip of the world and is bound to draw an ever-increasing tourist patron age" he declared. MT. Brown re- ceptly succeeded B. c. Keelye. He was formerly assistant to the presi- dent, Sir Henry Thornton, of the Canadian National. and when he was transferred to the Pacific Coast district that position was abolished.
 Since he first heard of the Klon- dyke rush and succeeding stam- pedes, Col. Brown said it had been his ambition to visit Alaska and the Yukon. Oh his present trip he is partially realizing that ambi- tion.
 Business To Be Fair
 He agreed with MT. McNicholl that the business this year would be fair. The Company does not look for a bumper tourist crop, but is confident it will be some better than last year.
