THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1930 ° No. Pacific Abolishes Three General Divis STRAGHAN LOWRY |LourouRway Witla] MADE ASSISTANTS 10 GEN'L MANAGER Death of T. H. Lantry and Pro- motion of James Craver Oc- casion for Changes ONE DIVISION 1S MERGED Section From Paradise, Mont., to Mandan Split Between East and West St. Paul, Aug. 16—(#)—Changes in the operating department of the Northern Pacific affecting two prom- inent officers and the territorial di- vision of the railroad are announced by H. E. Stevens, vice president. The changes involve abolishing the posi- tions of general superintendent, of which there are three on the system, and become effective September 1. W. H. Strachan, general superin- tendent of the eastern district, con- sisting of the lines east. of Mandan, N. D., becomes assistant general man- ager in territory east of Helena and Butte, Montana, with headquarters at St. Paul, his present location. T. F. Lowry, general superintend- ent of the central district, comprising the lines between Paradise, Montana, and Mandan, N. D., becomes assistant general manager of the lines west of Helena and Butte, Montana, with headquarters at Seattle. The position of general superin- tendent of the western district, at Seattle, was made vacant by the re- cent promotion of James E. Craver to the position of general manager, western district, following the death of Col. T. H. Lantry at Seattle on August 2. The present central district com- prising the lines between Mandan, N. D., and Paradise, Montana, will be consolidated with the western and eastern districts, that part from Par- adise to Helena and Butte being al- located to,the western district and remainder to the eastern district. GAS BUSES NEED NOT CARRY FULL CREWS Attorney General Morris So Rules in Friendly Invoking * ef Railway Law Operation of gas-propelled buses consisting of one unit, used by the Northern Pacific railroad, is not con- trolled by the full-crew law, accord- ing to an opinion issued by Attorney General James Morris. . The opinion was furnished A. H. Barrett, Bismarck, state legislative chairman of the Order of Railroad Conductors. Mr. Barrett sought to determine whether the full-crew law prescribed the size of the crew that must be ma gas bus used for carry- chiefly for service is of the road. “Since tie bus in question carried only passengers,” Mr. Morris’ opinion said, “it can not be termed either a freight train or a mixed train. Since it consists of but one unit, it can, by no stretch of the imagination, be classed as a passenger train of more than four cars. The only remain- ing classification to be considered is whether or not the bus described by you can be considered a ‘light engine.’ “An exhaustive study of the stat- utes and court decisions fails to dis- close any legal definition for the term ‘light engine.’ In the absence of legal definition, we must pre- sume that the legislature used the term in the sense that it was used by railroad men at the time the law ‘was passed. A ‘light engine’ was then and is now considered to be a locomo- tive or other train power unit oper- ated without a train attached. The ‘bus about which you inquire is neither powered nor equipped to handle other It is in no sense the power unit that can be run separately train itself and it can not be termed a ‘light engine.’ “I am, therefore, of the opinion that the full-crew law prescribes no min- LOOWK- LooKUT THON Wit A HUNH O' BREAD THREE Times His, SIZE = LoOOWuUT MA SPEED UP WHEN T ToucH 4M witid THIS WIRE = LOoKUT "M HUSTLE. DISTILLATE FUEL MAY HARM TRACTOR Sulphur tn Cheap Combustible May Pit Motor by Form- ing Sulphuric Acid With the price of distillate far be- low the cost of kerosene, North Da- kota farmers and tractor owners are inquiring into theadvisabilityof using this cheaper fuel rather than kero- sene and others that cost much more. The choice of the cheaper fuel de-| pends on the low percentage of sul-' phur and the particular design of the} engine in the tor rather than ‘the low cost of theffuel, is the conclusion | drawn by H. F. McColly, assistant | agricultural engineer, North Dakota) Agricultural college, in a recent study | of distillate as a tractor fuel. | Fuels with a high sulphur content | when burned in the engine not espe- | cially designed to carry off the by- product of combustion are most likely | to be harmed beyond the actual sav- | ing made in using cheaper fuel, points | out Mr. McColly. The damage comes to the engine when surphur is com- bined with water and forms a weak solution of sulphuric acid which readily pits the polished motor parts. To illustrate his point, Mr. McColly makes the supposition that a tractor owner who purchases distillate at 9 cents or a saving of 6 cents over what kerosene would cost, in the course of a hundred hours of running, the saving would amount to $18. Then suppose the engine was harmed by using the cheaper fuel, the chances are that the cost of repairs on the engine would exceed the sav- ing in cheaper fuel, points out Mr. McOolly. '. Distillates on the market at the Present time should have a limitation of .138 per cent of sulphur content as compared with a .125 per cent to be found in kerosene and a .1 per cent in motor gasoline. These figures were obtained from the state chem- ist at Bismarck. The success of using distillate for tractor fuel depends on the following items: That the motor operate Svuperizin' “HOW FAST THEY CN GO, OO, LooniT AINT iT wid SUCK BIG LOADS, WHEN THEY AFTER ‘em? | ar them smoothly; that the distillate is clean and low in sulphur content or sul- phur free, and that the motor have either a fresh-oil lubricating system or a ventilated crankcase if it has an internal circulating system. There are few items of design that are important for successful distillate use, states Mr. McColly. A motor does not need to have them all; it may have only a few of the features and still be a successful distillate burning motor. These are: Carbure- tion system enabling pre-heating the fuel before use and heat control facil- ities for operating the engine at high temperatures; effective air cleaning system; lubricating system supplying fresh oil or use of effective oil filters, and crankcase ventilation of internal system; slow speed engines of 1,000 Yr. Pp. m. or less; mechanical arrange- ment of motor parts so that unburned fuel has jum chance to go by piston oagend, igher compression motor than"that r@quired for gasoline burning. ?

Canada Will Place Ban on Immigration Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 16—(?)—Immi- gration from continental Europe to eS this country is prohibited today as/ Canada’s first move toward solving the unemployment situation. Announcement of the ban was made yesterday by W. A. Gordon, minister of immigration and colonization, who said the only exception to the order would. be admission of experienced farmers of suitable type. 4 He said the new policy would not interfere with free movement from Great Britain or the United States of tourists or those engaged in business or commerce, but that the govern- ment would neither solicit nor , en- courage such movement at the pres- ent time. Unemployment relief was the pres- ent conservative government's chief campaign pledge before the recent elections which put it in power. Rio Janeiro.— ()—Official esti- mates place the population of Brazil at 40,272,650. There were 1,274,627 births in_1929.

CANADA FIELD PEAS FINE HOG PASTURAGE | Alfalfa and Corn Balance Ra- tion; Acre of Grass Will Feed 20 Pigs It has been found that alfalfa may be gastured at the rate of 20 pigs or seven sows per acre, allowing a quan- tity of first and second cutting to be | cut for hay, in supplementary mater- |4al gathered by the animal husban- | dry department at North Dakota | Agricultural college while working on j hog trials for the production of | Wiltshire sides. The alfalfa for win- ter feeding of hogs should be fromi the: second or third cutting, states Al Severson, of the department of ani- {mal husbandry, taken from a clean | field on which hogs have not been |pastured for several seasons, It should be leafy, tender, unbleached. The growing of Canadian field peas is recommended for pork pro- duction, according to Mr. Severson, and for the following reasons: Rich in protein, produces a lean, firm car- | cass, can be hogged down, enriches | the soil, may be cultivated to keep weeds in check, saves a large carry- over of harvested feeds during July and August, and is a good cash crop } when harvested and sold for seed. In connection with the trials it has been found that flint corn is more certain of maturing than most of the dent varieties and allows an earlier hogging-down period. The combina- tion of hogging-down corn, peas and alfalfa makes a perfectly balanced ration with minerals fed free choice, the research reveals. It was found that two small sod pastures of brome or blue grass ad- Jacent to the hog house furnish an excellent place for pigs to roam and exercise when the weather is favér- able. Ailments such as thumps, anemia and others are not so com- mon where pigs have atcess to out- side paddocks. .These paddocks should preferably be located on the south side of the hog house for pro- tection from north \winds. With two pastures the pigs can be rotated in case infection is evident. | OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern RED GROSS 10 AID WAR DEPENDENTS Applicationr by Dependents for Death Compensation Will Be Filled Out se The Red Ofoss office here, with the assent of Lloyd Spetz post; American codli will give clerical assistance to ‘orld war veterans seeking to obtain the various benefits and allowances enacted by congress. One of these is death compensation for dependents. The term death compensation signi- fies the allowance granted a preferred dependent of a World war veteran who died in service or who passed away after discharge from some in- jury or disease for which he was re- ceiving compensation. ‘Those entitled to receive such death compensation are relatives and mem- bers of the veteran’s household who were dependent on him at the time of his death or who might have be- come dependent on him had he lived. ‘Widows and children of veterans are the naturally preferred dependents. The mother or father also may apply and receive death compensation if they can establish actual dependency. A widow or children need not estab- lish dependency. due to their immedi- ate relationship to the veteran, Par- ents must prove dependency, however. As to proof, in the application blank for death compensation—form 527— are certain questions relative to in- capacity, age, income, property, and household expenses, which the parents must answer. This information will enable the authorities to decide whether or not the parents would have been dependent upon the de- ceased veteran had he lived. The law provides further that if a veteran who was unmarried died dur- ing the service, and at that time his folks were well-to-do and not de- Pendent on anyone, they must estab- lish actual dependency, and, if found to exist, the usual allowance will be granted. One provision the law does not make is to provide compensation for a widow in @ case where a veteran drawing compensation allowance for injury or disease connected with the service is accidentally killed without his service disability having any con- nection with his death. Death com- pensation is payable solely on death due to an injury or ailment connected with the veteran's World war service. ae FIRST BAPTIST Fourth street and Avenue B. Ellis L, Jackson, Pastor.

Plant Lice Have Done Much Damage in State Aphids, or plant. lice, have been taking their annual toll in the gar- dens and flower plots of North Da- kota, according to reports coming to the entomology department at North Dakota Agricultural college. They \have caused the injury by sucking the sap from the plants, leaving them to wilt and die. Peas in the gardens jhave suffered, while sweet peas, roses and the like have succumbed to the lravages of these plant pests. | The plant louse can be identified ‘ Bismarck and Mandan ion Superintendencies | readily by its soft body, about the size of a pin head or slightly larger. In color it may be greenish, yellow- ish, black or other shades, depending on the species. This pest overwinters as fertilized eggs on the stems of plants: or hidden among the buds Early in the spring these eggs hatch into aphids, all of which are females. These and the succeeding generations of females throughout the season feed on the plants., In the fall a generation of males and females ap- eggs which overwinter. Control: of the aphids or plant lice suggested by Prof. J. A. Monro, en- tomologist at the college, consists of @ spray which comes in contact with the body of each insect. It is as fol- lows: Black leaf 40 (nicotine sul- phate) 1 fluid ounce, laundry soap % ounce, and mix with -6 gallons of water. PROBE DEATH OF FOUR Keokuk, Ia., Aug. 16—(4)—An in-, quest foday will seek the cause of the cavein late yesterday at the Mc- Manus quarry, near Montrose, in which four workers were crushed to 4 death. Several other quarry men who were working near the scene of the cavein escaped injury. A rock ceiling gave way, it was explained, and the weight of released stone crushed the four men almost beyond recogni- tion.
