MARINE DESCRIBES
EVENTS in SERVICE
Tells Company L of War in
Central America; Life
in China Corps

The unusual life of United States
marine in foreign lands was describ-
ed Monday night to members of Com
pany L national guards by Corporal
Warren Harris who accompanied the
body of Paul Froelich from Picking,
China to Redwood Falls.
A member Of the marines ten
years, Harris was dispatched on the
battleship "Oregon". with many other
men from Cuba to Nicaragua in 1927
when trouble started there.
He told how the soldiers took to
the heavily forested hills when the
marines arrived and how much diff
Guilty was encountered before they
could be found and disarmed. He also
told of uprisings in Cuba.
Fighting in those countries is de-
cidedly different from modern war;
fare, he pointed out. The high Of
fcials of each side meet, probably for
luncheon, sit around and chat for
awhile and then decide to hold an
other war at 2 p. M, he said.
At the given time, a bugle is sound
ed and the soldiers who are chatting
with one another, step back to their
side of the line and start fighting.
Following the uprising Harris was
sent to Marine base in Hawaii on
lonely volcanic island. He termed
Hawaii the "Gilbralter Of the Pacific"
It is heavily fortified, he said and it
would be practically impossible for
an invading army to take possession
of it. All around the island are 16
inch guns which protect it from in
vaders and no one but officers of the
island know it's strength.
From Hawaii, he was sent to Pek-
ing, China where legations from
France, Italy, Japan, United States
and England are stationed. A part of
the city is set off for the marines and
is neutral ground. The duty of the
marines is to protect property and
citizens of the country which they re-
present. He also described the huge
wall around Feking which is so high
and SO feet wide.
During his stay here, Harris is the
guest of Paul Froelich's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Froelich, at Vesta.
He will leave after the funeral Thurs
day for St. Paul, his home, where he
will visit 20 days before returning to
China. He has four months left to
serve in his third term and plans to
re-enlist.

rear tank Of the car travels 70 the
motor Ia q question probably many
woman motorists have pondered.
Gasoline. like water. does not run up
hill. and there Is nothing about the
construction Of the tank that suggests
It's ability TO pump the fuel forward.
How. then. does IL reach the engine9
We can understand this best BY
starting from the method used In the
earlier days. There was, first OF all,
the gravity plan Of feeding fuel TO the
motor Some cars still In service use
this system, although the tank Il
placed In the cowl Just back Of and.
of course above the level OF the en-
gine. Then there was the pressure
system. Drivers operated q pump on
the dash 10 force air into the rear
tank. Air thus displaced fuel. driving
It forward. Most popular was the
vacuum system, wherein fuel was
drawn forward into . special reserve
tank by engine suction. Fuel from
this special tank flowed TO the car
buretor by gravity.
Today's car Is fed fuel through q
fuel pump. This may be driven elec-
trically or mechanically. 1t Is q reas-
onably simple device. but one that
requires occasional care. It's weakness
in principle lies in its habit Of feed
ing too much gasoline when the
throttle Is closed as the car Is driving
fast. 1t takes a carburetor with a
tight valve and well-sealed top TO hold
the extra fuel at these periods Of
stress.
In service the fuel pump may fail to
furnish enough gasoline II Its dia-
phragm is worn. 1t is worth noting
for future reference that II new dia-
phragms fail to improve the quantity
of fuel being fed to the carburetor
the pump arm is probably worn and
needs replacing.

BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

ITS no consolation to the woman
Il who buys the gas for the Summer
tour to realize how much cheaper it
One of the rewards for giving the
car generous care and attention Is
the extra dividend that invariably
accompanies remedy. I saw this
demonstrated recently when an owner
took time out to have the distributor
cleaned and checked over. She was
looking for a cure for skipping. and
found it In cleaning all grease and
dirt from the head, but for good
measure she found relief from hard
starting In damp weather. While the
head was being cleaned all wiring was
removed and the insulation checked
for cracks. To make the benefits
more complete this effort to keep the
car up to par resulted In decided i'm
provement in the cars radio. Poor
connections in the distributor were
causing interference.
I'm for the car owner who takes
the trouble to have work done where
there are skillful mechanics and mod
ern equipment, but Just a word to re-
mind her that she should also seek
to have work done where sufficient
time is given to it. The automobile
industry Is at present fighting the evil
known as beating the fat rates. You
pay, let us say. $50 for work that
should really take an hour and get
15-minute job. The way to stop
this is to take enough interest in the
car to see that service receives the
proper amount of time. II a job is
priced at So, and is virtually all
labor, it should be evident that II the
car is in the shop only an hour or so
something has been overlooked. The
evil, by the way, Is especially fragrant
in brake work, where owners aggravate
it by assuming that brakes can be

The replacement market absorbed
ell new vehicles sold during the year
in the United States. causing a slight
decline in registration because Of the
fact that more old machines were
scrnpped than new ones bought En-
ployment In the industry gained as the
year progressed. and by May. 1884,
approximated 1879 levels. while hour
~ wage rates exceeded the highest
1929 rates
New data on highway employment
indicates that more than 300 900 per-
sons are working directly and indi-
rectly on Federal aid and State roads,
not including workers on local high
ways.
Less Pleasant Picture.
Another picture, however, Is drawn
on the subject OF taxation. This pic
ture Is less pleasing. Calling it q
startling revelation the trade
pamphlet says that check for the
fantastic sum of si.137 .S72. 900 would
have TO be written IL highway users of
the United States had elected 10 pay
all OF their 1888 motor vehicle taxes
This amount is said to be an increase
of more than si50.00O.000 over the
greatest amount ever before received
in vehicle levies. The average motor
ist paid taxes amounting to s47.76 in
1893, OF flve times tie average tax
which he paid in 1919.
The above figures ere even lower
than those arrived at BY the American
Automobile Association According to
n recent release by the A. A. A..
i,22i ,s6l ,583 was paiel out in motor
taxes last year. the average 10 the
automobile owner being $5l 20.
This tremendous tsx bill, on the
basis of q valuation for all motor We
hicle property OF $3,S34 2s6 ,035." states
Thomas p. Henry, president Of the
national motoring body, means that
car owners paid 3l.9 per cent Of the
value of their property In taxes, a tax
rate that is becoming prohibitive and
threatents to strangle the orderly
growth Of motor transportation.
Whichever figure Ii correct, the
taxes levied on motoring are entirely
too high. It is to be hoped that the
N. A. @. G. and the A. A. A. can unite
In obtaining some relief from State
Legislatures and the Congress Of the
United States itself.
Other Interesting Statistics.
Further interesting statistics from
sFacts and Figures" are as follows
Total 1888 output of motor vehicles
was / ,e86, ,208 units with total whole
sale valuation Of 1887 ,436, 6,289, which
represented an increase over 1925
operations of 3S.6 per cent In the
number of units and ~ per cent in
dollar volume. OF the industry's total
1898 output l,627,768 units were pas
senger cars and 35e, ,440 were COM
mercial vehicles.
Although l,743,773 new vehicles
were absorbed In the domestic market
during the year. this was not enough
to satisfy replacement requirements
and the total number Of vehicles fell
to 1882, 400 cars and trucks drop
Of more than per cent under 1882
registrations. While motor vehicle
registrations for the whole country
declined during the year, there were
ls States, led by Arkansas, which
showed increases In the number of
vehicles owned by their citizens. The
biggest decline in motor vehicle regis
trations occurred in Michigan, where
q decrease of 59,015 units was re-
ported.

Under the impetus Of Government
spending for relief purposes and with
taxes paid by motor vehicle owners
reaching an unprecedented volume,
construction and improvement prof.
ects brought the Nations highway
network nearer perfection. At the
close OF 1898. $4,000 Of the 3.040. 900
miles of roads in the United States
were surfaced and a total OF 10000
miles were IN high-type surfaces.
Highway expenditures for the year
amounted to $1,000. 900 900 and pro-
vided employment for l,22o,00 work
eui, II Is estimated.
Foreign Markets.
Foreign countries afforded a market
for 242,435 cars and trucks OF Amer
ican design. Ninety thousand COM
mercial vehicles. or more than rs per
cent OF the total truck output Of the
United States, were sold In foreign
countries with Spain a. the leading
customer. The Union of South Africa
led other countries in the importation
Of passenger cars. While motor We
hicle registrations in the United
States experienced a decline during
the year. the number of vehicles
operated in other countries through
out the world increased TO e,503, ,282
cars and trucks. However, the United
States remained dominant in its use
of motor vehicles with 71h per cent
Of the total world registrations.
Throughout the year the motor and
allied industries directly and indirectly
continued to be the largest single
factor In providing employment to the
workers OF the Nation. It is estimated
that q total of 4,525 900 men and
women derive their incomes directly
or indirectly from occupations identi-
fed with the ownership, operation or
use Of motor vehicles.
Automobile factories alone paid
$233, ,507,6l9 in wages to their l90,027
workmen.
New Diesel Engine Field.
A new field for Diesel engines was
definitely opened recently when the
Burlington Railroad, after six months
Of vigorous test service, placed orders
with the Cummins Engine Co.
for motors to power two Diesel
electric yard engines, according to an
nouncement by G. l.. Cummins, presi-
dent of the Diesel plant In Indiana.
The order, amounting to about
$4,000, calls for early delivery and
covers four engines of the six-cylinder
type with 7-inch bore and 9-inch
stroke, developing $50 horsepower at
1000 revolutions per minute.
After thorough test of the original
Diesel-electric installation, railroad
officials expressed satisfaction over the
results as is evidenced by the repeat
order. At first the new-type loco
motive was used in railroad yard
service at Aurora, Ill, and later was
sent to Omaha, Nebr., where it was
given the dual task Of breaking up
passenger trains and pushing heavy
trains over the grade leading out of
the city. Its ability to handle Pullman
cars easily as not to disturb sleeping
occupants was one of the deciding
factors in placing the order, it was
said
Due to the electric drive the twin
motored Diesel locomotive is capable
OF doing the same work requiring a
5000 horsepower steam engine, accord
ing to the Diesel designer. Cost of
operation under worst conditions is half
that of the steam locomotive and is
as low as one-fourth under conditions
favorable to the equipment.
