A bulletin from the Wsshlng ton, O. G. headquarters of the Nation al Geographic society deals wltb some of these blank spots on the map of the United 8tatea.

Since those early days lines of some sort have been ran over almost very square mile of territory east of the Mississippi river. "But although the eastern states tare been rather thoroughly surveyed and are on the whole heavily popu-lated, they are not free from Isolated areas.

"It la only after the Mississippi river bas been crossed, going west-ward, that the extensive blank spots appear. Fortune of northeastern Uln , nesota are virtual wildernesses: but the areas are not great ; and. as In the remote sections of Maine, hunters and trappers traverse the country. The bed lands ot southwestern South Da kota form a sizable area, largely bar ren. In which onl a handful of peo pie live; and similar areas are found In northern Nebraska, end eastern Wyoming and Montana. "All along the Itocky mountains from Canada Into New Mexico are uninhabited and practically Inaccessi-ble mountain fastnesses. In Texas there are still unfamiliar areas In the Big Bend region, close to the Mex-ican border, where the ttlo Grande river makes a loop far to the south. "In all thla country, however, as Is noticeable by reference to a large scale man, no very large areaa are free from what the maptnaker calls 'culture , marks'; trails, roads, highways, rail ways, power lines, dams, canals, flumes, factories, villages, towns, and cltleawthe evidences that man has In-vaded and tuken for bis own much of the territory. "The really remote regions, by man, can be tested by this matter of map making. In the east-ern states maps show railways and highways so close together that they form a network over the entire comtry. In the first tier of states west of the Mississippi river thla network Is still closely spaced; but farther to the west the lines be-come fewer and the on lined spaces greater. In the mountain and Inter mountain states are the largest areas uncrossed by 'culture lines.'

SPEED LIMITS ARE BEINGJiBOLISHED Five States Have Eliminated Maximum, Five Others Raised It Speed limits are slowly, If not sure-ly, catching up to automobiles. As to actually overtaking them, the possibility seems rather remote for engineering seems rather more speedy than legislation. But there are two things happening to speed laws that are making the lot of the motori.tt happy and a third that probably would make It happier than the other two. The first satisfying thing la that speed limits are beln liberalized In virtually all quarters of the country. The second la that elsewhere, they are being removed altogether. 8low Driver a Menace. The third eventually, and It Is no more than that at present, la that following the abolition of the arbi-trary maximum there may come an arbitrary minimum speed. It Is beld to be a natural step and there are forward looking officials and motor-lsta In both this country and Englnnd who are not so certain these days that the slow driver Is not more of a menace than the fast one. In recent weeks, five states have Officially gone on record as favoring higher maximum speeds on their hlghwaya Minnesota has gone from SO to 85; Mississippi from 30 to 40; New Mexico, Ohio, and Okluhoma from 85 to 45. At the aame time. Tennessee and Indiana have gone even further and abolished the maxi-mum law altogether. In thla action, tbey have followed the course of Connecticut, Michigan and Montana. Anyway it la counted, that makes five states out of the 48 that have gone to higher speeds. Fix Minimum Limit Just 43 states to go and then there will be no arbitrary maximum speed limit I Then, many Insist, the next logical step Is to establish a minimum limit below which the driver may be arrested as 'dangerous. A minimum speed limit law Is not a brand-ne- idea. Several years ago, John M. Mackall, then chairman of the Maryland state roads commission, sponsored a measure in the legislature for the establishment of a low speed limit of 20 miles an hour on state highways. The bill failed to pass but It died a gallant, flKhtlng death, and Its friends have by no means abandoned hope.

Considerable ex-citement has been caused here by the belief that the Lost China mine on the Sixes river has been found. The story of Lost China runs back 73 years to the days when Capt Wil-liamson Tlchenor. enrly-dii- sea cap-tain, founded thla little southern Ore-gon town. Captain Tlchenor did considerable prospecting In the early days He Is said to huve taken out some 100.000 worth of gold from the mine. Chinese laborers and Indians fig-ured In the subsequent prospecting, and obliterated the fissure, while white men searched other gold fields Then a fire swept over the country, changing the aspect of the terrain, and the China became somewhat of a legend. A new discovery of the mine haa been reported by S. A. Laurence, lo-cal attorney to F. B. Tlchenor. dep uty United States marshal during the World war, and grandson of the old captain. - Troublesome Automobile Clincher Rims Remedied An automobile clincher rim becomes quite troublesome when the rim gets bent down In a few places so the tire bead will not slip under It properly, and if forced down enough to cutcb may suddenly slip out when the car la Straightening a Clincher Rim, In rapid motion snd cause an acci-dent.

Ohioan Has Unusual Philatelic Collections Steuber.vllle, Ohio. Two of the most remarkable philatelic collections In the country are the property of G A. Vowlnkel of this city. One of them, said to be the largest of Its kind In the United States, Is composed of more than 2.0(H) envelopes with the different styles of postmarks used In Ohio between 1800 and 1890, The other, which won an award at a re-cent exhibition of the Pittsburgh Philatelic society. Is a collection of Ohio letters, posted between 1800 and 1859, before stamps came into gen-eral use. The letters were folded and aealed to form their own envelopes. After the postmark was affixed the postage to be paid by the addressee was designated with a hand stamp Plan Overhead Roads in Paris for Automobiles Plans have been placed before the French Ministries of Interior and Transportation of a project linking Paris by an overhead automobile road with Nice, Marseilles, Toulouse, Bor-deaux, Brest, Lyons and Geneva. Ac-cording to the scheme, the roads would be carried on reinforced con-crete pillars at a height of about 23 feet, and would consist of two one-way tracks, each about 20 feet wide. A large proportion of the heavy Ini-tial expenditure, it was suggested, could be covered by the Importation of materials from Germany under the reparation plan and the upkeep could be more than met If motorists paid a special tax of 100 francs a year.

Attention to Automobile During Severe Weather In cold weather the careful automo-bile driver will see that his storage battery has plenty of water, that It Is fully charged, and that the charging rate of the generator Is Increased. A storage battery Is less efficient In cold weather, more energy Is used In start-ing the engine each time, the drives are shorter, snd the lights are --nsed more In winter than In summer. The ignition should be timed ex-actly right, for the power of the en-gine Is lessened by a late spark. If the consumption of gasoline Is blgh, the engine runs hot, and the car Is sluggish, the Ignition may be the cause of the trouble. Headlights should be adjusted to protect the driv-er and to give bim the most possible light 1HttHttHHHI-- I AUTOMOBILE NOTES?
