Salt solutions —calcium chloride and magnesium chloride—were found to cause ap- preciable corrosions, acting on the engine jacket, on the solder in the radiator and on aluminum, which is sometimes used in manifolds, jumps and heaters. Pranother troublesome effect of calcium chloride solutions was ex- erienced when the solution came in contact with spark plugs or ig- nition wires. The salt deposited when the water evaporates is very difficult to remove and when it cools itabsorbs water and becomes a good electrical conductor, causing short circuits, which are not easy to locate as they disappear when the engine is heated up. Solutions of sugar and of honey were found objectionable because low percentage mixtures did not have sufficiently low freezing points and high percentage mixtures were so thick that they circulated very slowly, if at all. if circulation stopped, charring of the honey in contact with the hot engine was likely, icohols, glycerine and glycol gave the most satisfactory results for automobile radiator use, the tests disclosed. Dakota Lignite Beds Declared Rich in Oil Pierre, S. D., March 22.—About 50,000,000,000 galons of gasoline lie buried in the lignite coal fields of the northwestern section of South Dakota, according to research work- ers of the geological department of the state university, who have made investigations there. The fields of North Dakota are even more extensive than those of this state, and the supply of motor fuel could be assured from the two states for many years in case oil wells ran dry. Besides the gasoline, by-products would yield millions of dollars more in the development of the lignite de- its of the two states, which have ly been touched. While many small mines are working, they do not attempt to supply other than limited local mar- kets, except in a few instances. The coal taken out is merely that which can be easily obtained. Many farm- ers and ranchers have opened small surface workings and take out what they need for themselves and a few neighbors. | i e lignites of the two states are faid to be especially well suited to processing methods on account of the case with which it can be pul- Nerized, and its high carbon con- An oil development company which has brought in many wells in eastern Montana is crossing the line into South Dakota.- It leased a Jarge amount of state school lands in the northwest part of the state this week for purposes of test de- velopment.

Hoboken, N, J., March 22.—Adop- tion of ‘Triplex non-shattcrable ;| glass by various auto manufacturers has focussed interest on how this glass is made. The type of T shields and wine x used in wind- of automobiles consists of three la: The two outside layers are of the finest ob- tainable plate or sheet glass. The middle layer is a binding composi- tion commercially known of pyroxa- lin plastic. This is a transparent sheet of cellulose material, like cel- luloid which may, in fact, also be used. Two pieces of glass and one piece of pyrovalin plastic are first cut to the exact size and shape of the desired windshield or window. This must be done with infinite care be- cause after it is finished Triplex can not be cut or. altered in size. The three layers are laid together and put through 17 different pro- cesses, including elaborate chemi- cal cleaning, pressing between huge presses which exert many tons pressure on each piece of glass, heat, grinding and polishing, and sealing. The three laminations become so closely welded together that they are actually one piece. In thick- ness, windshield Triplex is the same as ordinary glass. A vital and interesting step in the manufacture of Triplex is the sealing. If you inspect a piece of it, you will notice a narrow black strip along the center of every edge. This is the sealing compound which is applied to the outside of the juncture of the three lamina- tions, It keeps out weather, mois- ture, vibration, and all other influ- ences which, if they could get in be- tween the layers, would in time eliminate the very safety features which are essential. Under impact, Triplex does not shatter or create flying fragments because the flexible center layer holds tightly to the outside layers, The whole glass is flexible under strain, as was demonstrated in a recent accident, where the wind- shield was bulged four inches out of line without shattering. Under severe impact, Triplex will let a flying body pass through it But even then it does not make jagged edges and does not lacerate * Meeting all requirements, ethyl- ene glycol was found to give more} % prtection avainst freezing than any | How Non-Shatterable Windshields Are Made - i “~o fthe oth uids tested.

Va., March 22.— West Virginia road engineers have originated an inexpensive system of safeguarding road beds from wash- outs and landslides, When West Virginia started a huge road building program a few years back the engineers faced a serious problem. Railroads had been built first through the state’s nu- merous valleys and they chose the best routes, using in many cases all o fthe ground available between the hills and the rivers. This forced the road builders to take to the mountainsides, which in- curred great expense. Added to the expense was the fear of landslides, Cut along the sides of the mountains, there was great danger of the road Hee washing away in heavy rain- fall. It took a long time for the roads to settle before they could be grav- eled or paved after a final grading. The engineers hit upon the idea to u! abandoned gas well casings, which are numerous in West Vir- ginia, for the hillslides. On steep cuts and wide curves these pipes are drilled down into solid rock at the lower edge of the road bed. Rock is then packed around them and the work of grad- ing can go ahead with assurance that the road bed will remain intact after On wide curves and steep hill- straightways and lower down on jose, Road building in the mountains And the engineers vouch for the in Laundry Contest ners of the North Dakota in the $50,000 cash prize com- Ny They are: Mrse, Florence Bertsch, first prize $225; Mrs. Mrs. George M.
