Only Recruits Who Enlist Before

tico Event.

Brig. Gen. Richard p. Williams,
U. S. M. c., officer in charge Of the
Marine Corps Reserve, yesterday
issued orders to the 5th Battalion,
Fleet Marine Corps Reserve, that
only recruits who enlisted prior to
June IS will be allowed to attend
the 1886 field training camp at GUAM
tico from August 81 to September 6.
Gen. Williams stressed that recruiting
to full strength should be accom-
plished now so that. with the full
506-man strength of the battalion
ordered to camp, the percentage Of
unframed recruits would be reduced
to minimum.
The value of this order is obvious
in view of the fact that the 1886
training schedule of the 5th Battalion
consists almost entirely of advanced
battalion combat maneuvers, ship-to-
shore movements and general field
training. Very little of the schedule
will be spent in close order drills
and parade ground soldering"
1t is also Gen. Williams wish that
the time devoted to range rifle firing
at Quantico during the field train
ing period be reduced to a minimum
and, to this end, the 5th Battalion
will fire over a series Of week ends.

range at Camp Simms. First Lieut..

the 5th Battalion, has been instructed
to contact Col. John w. Oehmann.
commanding the District National
Guard, for the purpose Of making up
the required range schedule for these
week end firing parties.
Advices have been received from the
Marine Corps Correspondence Schools
at Quantico to the effect that in the
number of enrollments in the schools
and in progress made by students
the 5th Battalion stands higher than
any unit in the Marine Corps, regular
or reserves.

7,411 .oo4. During 1885 the air trans
port lines carried 13,276,023 pounds OF
airmail. The 1885 figure is not final,
since the totals for November and
December are subject to final audit
If there is any change, however, it
probably will be slight.
63,540,2s3 Miles In Year.
Airplanes operated in scheduled air
transport service covered 63,54o, ,233
miles in 1885, as compared with 49,
786, ,551 miles flown in 1884. In flying
the 1885 mileage, air transport planes
burned 33,26o.6O9 gallons of gasoline
and consumed 879,775 gallons Of oil
There were 459 airplanes in opera
tion on the scheduled air lines at the
end of 1885. The airlines at that time
furnished employment for 1888 per-
sons. including $50 pilots. 335 co-pilots,
2,613 mechanics and ground crew men
1,515 other hangar and field personnel
3.O06 operations and Office personnel
and 212 hostesses.
The domestic airlines started 0,l2l
flights during 1885 and completed
IS, ,063 of these trips, for an average
of s4sa per cent.
Forecasts of a record breaking year
have been borne out by passenger
traffic figures reported by the Bureau
of Air Commerce for January. The
report, issued during the last week,
shows that the scheduled air lines
operating in the continental United
States carried 44,06l passengers dur
ing the first month of this year. as
compared with 1892 passengers dur
ing the same month of last year.
Air express increased from 1858
pounds in January, 1885, to 354,30l
pounds last January, while miles flown
rose from 1921, ,096 to 4,245.l99. Pas
senger miles flown increased from 49,
405 .403 in January, 1885, to 1882, ,801
during the first month of this year.
These healthy increases, during
what normally is bad Winter month
are regarded as basis for optimism
concerning the remainder of the year
The Spring traffic increase this year
| is expected to be considerably heavie:
than the normal seasonal increase.
A surprise order for 10 of the new
Douglas 24-passenger transport air
planes has been placed by United All
Lines, at a cost of s1,000,000. The
order marks the first major departure
of United from the Boeing transports,
which for years have formed the back
bone of its feet. 1t was the first line
to put into operation the famous twin
engined Boeing 10-passenger mono
plane and it now operates approx
mately so transports of this type.

All over the country new schedules
have been established or soon are
to be inaugurated to care for in
creasing trafic. Airmail, passenger
and air express trafic all show steady
growth, promising to eclipse even the
gains Of 1885.
During the past week the Bureau OF
Air Commerce made public the results
of the annual survey of American air
transportation for 1885. The figures
are surprising. They show not only a
complete recovery from the disastrous
setback suffered at the time OF air.
mail contract cancellations and the
attendant congressional Investigations,
but a vigorous growth in every depart-
ment of air transportation.
During 1885 air lines operated by
American companies in the United
States and to Canada and the Latin
American republics carried $50, ,76l
passengers, an increase of about so per
cent over the best record for any pre-
vious year. The 1884 passenger total
was 561 $40. The passenger gains were
pronounced not only on the domestic
lines but on foreign services as well.
During 1885 746,946 passengers were
carried on airlineS within the conti-
mental United States. as compared with
46l TAB passengers during 1884. The
foreign lines operating under the
United States flag carried 1885 pas
sengers in 1885, as against 99,627 dur
ing the preceding year. Passenger
miles flown showed tremendous in
crease, from 225 5,267,559 in 1884 to
$50, ,569, ,431 in 1885, showing not only
that the number of passengers in
creased, but that the average length
Of trip flown by the individual pas
senger also increased.
Reduction In Rates.
Air passengers we're paying at an
average rate of ST. cents per mile on
domestic airlines at the close of 1885,
as compared with So cents per mile
a year earlier. They made flights
averaging 42025 miles in length on the
domestic airlines, as against the aver
age trip length of 407 in 1884. The
average fight length has increased
steadily from year to year since air
transportation was established. At the
same time passenger rates have de-
creased just as steadily.
Air express last year totaled 5,5l1,737
pounds, as compared with 3,449 .675
pounds in 1884, both new annual rec
ords. The air express business has
developed more rapidly during the past
three years than any other phase of
air transportation. The airline, in CO.
operation with longer
ground services, now are able to offer
door-to-door express service at fiat
rates over the whole network Of lines.
A single way-bill system has been in
augurated for foreign air shipments

The newest in car fabrication Is a
system that raises the cars body a
little just as the entire machine Is
lifted on the hoist. The idea Is to
relieve the shackles, springs and other
parts from body pressure, thus allow
ing grease to work into these parts
properly. 1t accompliShes the same
thing rocking the car up and down
or sidewiSe, but does the job quicker
and with less effort.
When your service man advises that
the valves of your engine are sticky,
he really means that they are more
sticky than usual or than is average
for most motors. Engineers find that
all valves are sticky. The difference
between valves is in the degree of such
sickness. This means that it is i'm
portant to keep using special oils that
help to counteract this condition.
It would be difficult to know just
what to do if caught In the predica-
ment faced by the woman who bought
a used car and started it down steep
hill, only to discover that the brakes
were sadly deficient. The best move
would be to try to get the car into
second gear. moving over as far as
possible to the right-hand side OF
the street. If a car can be scraped
against the curbing it will help to
check the cars speed. I certainly
wouldn't worry about difficulty in get
ting into second gear. assuming that
the car was of the older type without
synchronized shifting, or if I did not
know how to double clutch" JAM
ming the gears would help to lock
the rear end and bring the car to a
stop.
Sometimes ignorance of car can be
helpful, but more often your safety
depends upon exact knowledge Of the
how and why of its operation. For
one case of safety through jamming
the gears, as outlined above, there are
a dozen instances where drivers save
themselves a smash-up by knowing
precisely what is wrong with the car
and what might serve to help it. Sup
pose, for example, you find that the
brakes do not hold well and that the
pedal goes all the way to the floor.
Assuming that you knew that on your
car the mandrake lever and the
pedal operated the same set of brake
shoes you would then reason that a
way out of your difficulty would be to
pull back as hard as possible on the
hand lever. This would provide the
necessary extra braking needed for a
stop. But on a car without this fea-
ture, it might do no good at all. If
the hand brake applies on the pro-
pellor shaft it is always well to resort
to it If the foot brake seems to be
failing.

USEFUL AUTO TIPS
GIVEN FOR WOMEN
Vigorous Treatment Held
Needed for Properly Flush
ing Out Radiator.
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL


Most drivers who insist upon having
the right of way succeed only in get
ting left.
We are rapidly approaching the time
when popular paStime will be flush
ing out the cooling system, and prob
ably most motorists will make the
usual mistake of being satisfied to
have their favorite mechanic pour a
few gallons of mild solution of soda
and hot water through the radiator
AS in many years past, they will have
the usual disappointment to prove
that something more vigorous than
this is needed to dislodge the sludge
and rust which collects at many points
in the system.
Removing the side plate of the cylin-
der block will reveal favorite point
for the collection of sludge. This can
be cleaned out manually. but better
method is to subject the entire cooling
system to one of the new flushing
machines.
How to buy car without riSking
mental confusion over the conflicting
claims of competing makers is largely
a matter of waiting until the emer-
gency arises. I gathered this useful
suggestion from an engineer who al
ways manages to buy the right car,
even though he signs up in about a
half hour once he makes up his mind
to it.
He prepares himself, of course, by
visiting the different show rooms and
becoming fully conversant with the
strong and weak points of each car
under consideration. But he does not
go through that period of torture when
it seems as if the family would never
be able to get together on a choice.
When he finally decides that the old
car should be turned in, he selects
the one which to him most nearly
approximates what he calls legal
tender" If he goes wrong, he figures
he can sell, get out and try something
else.
In his latest selection he reached
the show room just as the dealer was
putting the finishing touches on spe-
cial demonstration. The dealer, of
course. did not want to part with the
particular car, but wisely enough ac-
cepted fair offer for the extra equip
