Cut Half In Two.

Some Schools are advertising that
they have cut the price Of their schol.
arships half in two during the summer
months. Does this mean that during
the winter and spring they were charg-
ing twice as much as their scholar
ships we're worth, or does it mean that
the warm weather affects their gener-
osity to the extent that they cant help
but give away. all their profits ? The
school that gives the student his
moneys worth in the way of modern
systems and thorough teaching during
the winter months, cannot afford to cut
tuition just because the weather is
warm, for rents, teachers salaries and
other expenses are just as great in the
summer as in the winter. Most of
these cut-rate schools consist of slick
tongued lalker in the Office, a bov in
charge of the bookkeeping work, and
girl in charge of the shorthand and
typewriting three hot rooms up over

amount Of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing. and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White SO that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were Tightening lubri-

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice

minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that 1t is
not believed that any purchasers will

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead Of
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
CT per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
discrimination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead Of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as TO whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined ia make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public.
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore. it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.
