FUEL ECONOMY PROBLEM GROWS IN IMPORTANCE AS SUPPLY DIMINISHES

The problem of fuel economy In auto engines is one assuming greater Importance every day. The enormously Increasing demand for engine fuel and the Inadequate supply in sight compels all users to study its conservation. How to better the fuel economy of automobile engines Is being ' studied by all engineers today. An important contribution is a paper presented by Dr. II. C. Dicklnscn of the National Bureau of Standards, who is in active charge of research work on automo tive engines. lie says it is important for automobile engineers to Investigate at once the fuels available for their industry and determine the number of car or ton miles that can be obtained from the actual supply remaining. Three Possible Fuels. Of fuels in sight for motor vehicles we have only petroleum products, alcohol, benzol and possibly shale oil distillates. But before all of these can be used successfully it Is necessary. to. adapt our engines to handle them properly. It remains to be seen whether it will b best hereafter to sell two or three different kinds of liquid fuels, one less volatile than the others, or whether It would be . moro advantaceous commercially to concentrate on a combination fuel and adapt all engines to It. The present trend of development favors gasoline and kerosene and efforts are being made to construct appliances for nasoline ensines enabling them to utilize kerosene. Carburetors Wasteful. The brake thermal efficiency of automobile ensines running under average load conditions, is 10 per cent or less. In other words 90 per cent of the heat of the fuel now goes to OLD DODGE SELLS FOR MORE THAN WHEN NEW

, "The rosale price is the unanswerable argument as to the status of a car In the public mind," said Fred Bethard. who handles the Dodge in Richmond. "In that connection I can give you an illustration which shows how easy it is to move a certain make of car after two or three years' of service. "In February, 1913, a Kansas firm showed an original demonstrator, No. 101, to three thousand people at their opening. Tho. car was then sold, and la December of the same year it was resold to the United States Stock Food company. "In January the company bought a new car and again the Dodge people took possession of No. 101 In trade. For some months they used this car to demonstrate the remarkable durability of the finish. They cleaned up the car, repainted the wheels, put on new fenders and actually very few people knew It was a used car until their attention was called to the fact. "Finally in August, 1918, this car was sold for $350, Just ?23 more than Its original price in 1915. If any other car has had a more Interesting resale history, I'll stake my Judgment that It Is another Dodge Brothers car."

waste. Some of this loss is due o operating with a 25 to 50 per cent richer mixture than la necessary. This causes carbonization and lubrication difficulties, with no attending advantages. With better carburetion It would probably be possible to run an additional million cars without increasing the present total of gasoline consumption. Requires Research Work. After enumerating the various causes for the present lack of efficiency in the use of fuel, Doctor Dickinson pointed out that if automotive engineers can succeed in reducing all these losses by half the effect will be equivalent to doubling the fuel supply. To bring about thi.? highly desirable result it will be necessary to put the best minds to work on the problems involved. Researches and tests will have to be more extensive and more thorough than in the past. No one company and no one laboratory will be able to find the whole solution. It is necessary for all concerned to share In this work If we are to cary out our object of conserving the available supply of engine fuel.

Business man and secretary at work in compartment of "Airco" de llaviland type airplane. A passengers' cabin enclosed in glass and fitted with easy chairs, an office desk and typewriter, is included in the new type of passenger plane known as the "Airco" de Haviland type. The busy business man and his ' secretary can now fly together from city to city and handle their business details en route. The photo shows one of the plane's cabins just before the machine left the ground. A business man and hi3 secretary are at work. For the purpose of showing the cabin to better advantage the glass roof, and sides of the cabin have Been raised.

On most farms more time is spent in cultivating than any other operation. Sixty per cent of the crops are planted in rows that require cultivating, which must be done at the busiest season. If one man is to farm more land than ever before, which is absolutely necessary, he must cultivate more land than ever before. With the Moline-Universal Tractor one man can cultivate two rows at a time and do it better, quicker and cheaper thaa with horses. The Moline-Universal Tractor" straddles the corn row it has more clearance than the ordinary cultivator so corn can be cultivated in all stages. The tractor is attached to the cultivator and forms one complete unit the tractor the front wheels, and the cultivator the rear wheels. The operator sits on the cultivator in line with the right drive wheel of the tractor, where he has a clear and unobstructed view of the rows ahead. This is of the utmost importance for good ' work. All the operator has to do is td keep the right wheel of the MolineUniversal a certain distance from the outside row and the whole outfit will go properly. For dodging individual

Army Drivers Will Be Best in Civil Life There will soon be an army of truck and motor car mechanics available for private and commercial service. We want to, of course, but we are not quite sure how it will affect our present scheme to hire former drivers of war cars. And secretly, perhaps, although we may blush guiltily into the shaving mirror, mornings, we wonder if It will be good business. " The former army driver is a man who has learned that gasoline is a precious fluid. He knows that tires need care. He understands how to make quick roadside repairs and temporary adjustments of serious damage. He has been educated in velvethanded wisdom that means he will get out of the vehicle he drives everything the manufacturer hopes and almost as much as his employer will expect. But most important of all he will know discipline. ' ; He will do what he Is told. He will carry out orders for whoever employs him as nearly literally as is in his power. He will be good business.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Chauncey M. Depew and John Jacob Astor were judges of the second motor car run to be held in this country. with f hi hills the cultivator gangs are shifted by the operator's feet. The automatic electric governor allows the tractor to be slowed down to a "snail's pace". But cultivating is only one of all the farm operations the Moline-Universal Tractor can do. It is light, yet does as much work with two 14lnch plow bottoms as the ordinary three-plow tractor, on account of its higher speed, miles an hour. Being coupled to the various farm implements with which it is used, it enables one man to perform every farm operation better than two men can do the same work with the ordinary tractor. In addition it has plenty cf power for belt work, easily handling a 24-inch grain separator. Mechanically the Moline-Universal contains refinements and improvements that stamp it as the foremost tractor. Perfected overhead-valve four-cylinder engine, complete enclosure of all working parts, including the final drive gears, electric starting and lighting system, J5 Hyatt heavy duty roller bearings and five high grade ball thrust bearings, differential lock, and electrical engine governor are a few of the many features that place the Moline-Universal ahead of all the rest.

COLEMAN DISPLAYS FORD WITH STARTER

The handsome new Ford sedan with the combined starting and lighting system, an innovation on Ford cars, is on , display at , the Webb-Coleman company's garage, 19 South Seventh street. o: While it is hoped eventually that the starting and lighting systems will be placed on all Ford models, for the present at least it will be confined to the closed car.4 The Ford company ! will make more of these cars in the next year than most of the largest manufacturers have made of all models in one year, so that equipping even this one model will furnish a tremendous problem. A six volt, 80 ampere three cell battery of standard construction is housed cn a metal box carried on the left running board. Choice of bright and dim lights is given.

This chase covering both American continents and Australia, ended in April, 1917. The shoes were then given a mechanic at Clearing, 111., and were worn by him another seven months. "Until I discovered shoes with Ne&lin Soles, I bought new shoes about every two months, ' said Mr. Jones. Twenty-six months of wear under conditions such as these is indeed extraordinary even for Neolin Soles. But Neclin Soles are made by Science to be especially durable. They are comfortable and waterproof, too. You can get them oh new shoes for men, women and children, or for re-soling.

Blood in Bad Condition? Troubled with Boils or Carbuncles? Ever Tried Laxcarin??? The peculiar effect on the blood caused by the rapid changes of winter especially this winter, the chilly blasts and dampness long continued will undoubtedly have a disastrous effect upon your system if your blood happens to be in bad condition. You should not allow yourself to run the risk, of I suffering with boils and carbuncles, you should not willingly walk into the,-' snare of pain and suffering of rheumatism or catarrh when you can put your blood in shape to prevent it by .the simple method of taking a glass of hot

water upon arising with one-half laxcarin tablet. Boils and carbuncles are evidence of disordered blood. They do not necessarily mean an inherent taint, but they tell you that your blood Is poisoned, that the life-giving stream that should flow through your veins, pure vigorous and healthy, has become upset, maybe by overeating and drinking, more probably by constipation, stomach trouble, weak kidneys or not properly working liver, or perhaps by uric acid. Whatever might be the cause, your blood has become poisoned and you are not going to know what It is to feel well until the poison and impurities have been washed from your system. The blood, purified and invigorated, will once more perform its normal function of keeping the body full of health and rigor. Every part of the body is dependent upon the blood for nourishment and strength, and when for any cause this vital stream becomes run down, it invites disease to enter. The liver and kidneys, failing to receive the proper amount of nourishment from the blood, grow inactive and dull and the waste and bodily impurities that should pass off through these channels of nature are left in the system to encourage some blood disorder. Take for example a great big dam built to hold the flowing waters of the Mississippi River. Supposing we were able to hold up the millions of gallons of that immense artery. What would be the consequences what would happen to the lands which would be overflown. When the blood is in this weakened condition it should be treated with a remedy that is not only thorough, but gentle in it3 action. Laxcarin is a pure vegetable remedy, which Is made from roots and herbs, and it is exactly what is needed. It not only cleanses the blood of impurities and enriches and strengthens it, but gently builds up the entire system by its fine tonic effect. Laxcarin reinvigorates every part of the body, gives tone and vigor to the blood, and as it goes to the different parts, carries health and strength. Laxcarin acts promptly and gives good results. It gives the blood power to drive out rheumatism, catarrh, boils, sores and ulcers, skin diseases, corrects constipation, gives a healthy movement, helps the stomach in performing its duties does away with sour gassy fermenting and belching. "Laxcarin is sold by the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E 94, Pittsburgh, Penna. Price per box one dollar, full treatment six boxes five dollars. Will be sent post paid upon receipt of cash, money orders or stamps." Substitutes must be refused. Adv.
