Three months after the war has started there will be little available for home consumption. Prices, in any event, will be sIry ]sigh, be thinks. The model represents five years of work and from the bending of the first boiler plate the engine was built entirely fy Mr, Pope himself. Mr, Pope thinks there's a. chance that even steam cars' will nlalce a eomebunk, The trouble with the old Brooks steamer, be claims, was that it lacked sutricl- sent means of peeping its boiler clean from the lubrfcation that Missed through the cylinder.
