One of the wireless sets, employed
by our airmen and with which the
United States signal corps succeeded
in communicating over a distance of
119 miles, from an aeroplane, weighs
only sixty pounds. Another set
developed at the North island, San
Diego. Cal., weighs about forty-five
pounds, and It Ins covered a distance
of more than 140 miles while flying

Mixture Quality And Exhaust Flame Color.
rN THE SAME WAY that a yellow or partly yellow flame, In a gas stove.
Indicates too much pas In proportion to air, a short, greenl&h blue flame
too much air In proportion to gas and a long, purplish blue flame a
nearly correct mixture, bo a yellow flame, escaping from a gasoline
engine cylinder, denotes an overrlch mixture, a short, pale blue flame a
lean mixture with excess of air and a rich brilliant blue flame a powerful
and nearly normal mixture. Observations of the color cf the gasoline
combustion Is thus of some value In checking up the correctness of car-
buretor adjustments. The character of the combustion may be observed if
a hole is drilled In the exhaust pipe close up to the end cf the manifold,
a plug Is to be fitted to this when not In use. Some muffler cut-outs are
near enough the enslne so that flame escapes through them sufficiently
freely. A quite widely open throttle and a much retarded spark furnish
the best conditions for studying (he character of the flame. If it is dis-
tinctly yellow and luminous It Is a sure sign that much fuel is being
wasted and if it Is blue, streaked cr splotched with yellow, the presence of
unvaporlzed globules of gasoline or of lubricating oil, which has passed
the pistons, is indicated, A view of the combustion, as it actually takes
p:ace within the cylinders, is afforded by the use of the spark; lu'ps which
are fitted with transparent inserts or windows.
New Truck Agency
For Central Texas
Joe Hollingsworth h«» secured the
agency for th« Ford-Dearborn and
Universal truck, manufactured by thi
Dearborn Truck company of Chicago
and has also aole attribution in tire
following counties: Ilurleson. Milam,
Bell, Lampasas, San Saba, McCul-
lough. Concho. Menard, and part of
Coryell.
The first shipment haa been receiv-
ed. and Mr. Hollingsworth says he is
ready to do business with anyone who
wants either a one or two-ton truck
Tho Ford-Dearborn unit f'ts a Ford
car and the Universal unit fits any
I car manufactured, the former being
just a bit cheaper in priefc than the
Universal. It is claimed this Dear-
born truck has the quality and sta-
bility and carrying capacity of a
standard bu.lt truck at less than half
the cost.
As the day of the horse and mule Is
passing the market for trucks and
tractors is rapidlj opt-ningy ui and in
a few years the "hay burners" will al-
most be a curiosity, In the opinion of
those who have watched the strides
forward in all k:nds of gasoline-pro-
pelled vehicles.
Several different styles of bodies
can be furnished with the Dearborn
-uck. one of which Is manufactured
i Texas, so any one desiring to patron.
j Texas manufacturers can do so
when purchasing trucks.
DOING HIS
SHARE.
Arc you doing
your duty to
your country?
Well, I've
given up buying
for myself any
of tho luxuries
and got my wifa
to quit wishing
for the things
wc can't offord,
if that's what
you mean.
The majority of the elk left in the'
I'nited States are concentrated in and
about Yellowstone National park. The
biological survey states that this res-
ervoir for restocking other areas is so
important that no pains should be
spared, to insure Its protection, and a
careful investigation of the animals
With a view to their future welfare
has recently been carried out. A
count of tho elk made early in the
spring of 1916 showed that the south-
ern herd contained about 18,000 ani-
mals, which agrees with figures pre-
viously published. The northern
herd, however, was found to contain
only about one-third of tho number
it had previously been supposed to
contain.
AIK-COOMNG AND FUEL
ECONOMY.
( . J. C. writes: A friend of mine
drives an air-cooled car and Is able
to average nearly twice as good gas-
oilno mileage as I can with my wa-
ter-cooled car, although they are
both rocent five passenger models
with 0-cyllnder engines. Why should
there be all this difference In favor
of the air-cooler?
Answer: So great a difference In
fuel oconoiny can hardly bo at-
tributed entirely to the difference In
tlio methods of cooling. We suspect
that your car is considerably heavlor
than the other. However, it seems
to bo well established that tho air-
cooled vehicle engine Is considerably
less wasteful of fuel than the aver-
age water-cooled engine. This Is
generally believed to be due to the
higher average cylinder wall tem-
perature at which tho air-cooled en-
gine operates and to the fact that
this temperature Is reached very
soon after the engine Is started. A
high cylindor wall temperature im-
plies roduced heat losses from the
burning charges through the cylin-
der walls and consequently a larger
available amount of heat to be con-
verted into useful work, Tho highly
refined design of engines as used
upon air-cooled cars, the excellence
of their workmanship and the suit-
ability of their auxiliaries are also
important factors In their high fuel-
economy.
FITTING ONESELF FOK AUTO-
MOBILE POSITION.
E. L, writes: i wish to enter the
automobile business and beg to in-
quire what steps 1 should take to fit
myself for this work.
Answer: We believe that the com-
bination of a course of study in au-
tomobile subjects and of practical
experience as an employe In a
garago, repair shop and sales room
added to a fairly good education In
general subjects makes an excellent
preparation. Thore are some auto-
mobile schools that combine in tholr
courscs the required instruction from
books and by lectures and laboratory
work of a practical nature, but If
ono is not able to take auch a
course, there are correspondence
courses which are of distinct value
to tho earnest student and Indeed,
by home roadlng of motor books, ot
the trade Journals and oven of man-
ufacturers catalogues a very good
Idea of the technical side of the
business may be obtained whloh, if
supplemented by a course ot actual
work in a service station or factory
will give one a pretty good fit. A
business course and Instruction in
salesmanship are both advisable if
the student Is alining at a connec-
tion with tho commercial rather
than the technical side of the Indus-
try.
Questions of general interest to motorist» will be answered in this

English oak, says a book called
"Amateur Joinery in the Home," is
the most beautiful and durable of all
the varieties of oak suitable for join-

thoroughly air-dried and seasoned by
exposure. "We have known boards
sawn from beams, taken out of houses

craft which won the Queen Victoria cup off Cowea, England, in 1851, hai
worn a suit of sails. She has been tied up in Boston harbor, carefully cov-

To Have It Done Now
The longer you delay the worse the job will be. My
business is to repair automobiles, and your business is
to see that your car comes to me before it is down and
out. You can tell if everything isn't working right, but
you don't know how to remedy it. That's my business.
Just drive around here and let me take a look at it. I
will tell you if it don't need working on, and if it does I
am just the fellow who can do the job.
If your cylinders need the carbon taken out of them I can
do that, too, in a very short time, and make it run as
smooth as it did when new.
