YOUNG MAN HELD
ON ARSON CHARGE
COnfesses He Wanted to See
People Run.

Rockville, March 3-Among the in
dictments so far found by the grand jury
now in session here is one against
Charles W. Saffel, a young resident of
Gaithersburg. who is charged with arson
as a result of the burning Of the Summit
Heights Hotel property, in Gaithersburg,
the night OF the 18th of January.
The property was valued at $4,000
and was insured for about $500. 1t was
the joint property of John B. Diamond
and Ignatius T. F>ulks, both of Gather
burg.
About two weeks after the fire Saffel
was arrested by State Fire Marshal
Thomas J. Ewell. who. with Detective
Louis Kratz, of Baltimore, and Sheriff
William f. Welt, of this county,
spent a day in Gaithersburg hvesti-
eating the fire At first Saffel de-
MED all knowledge of how the build
ing caught fire, but later weakened and
confessed that it was he who had set
fire to the structure, his only excuse
being that he wanted to see the people
rum"
Saffel was taken before Justice Read
ing, in the Police Court here, to whom
he repeated his confession. He was COM
mitted to Jail being unable to furnish
bail in the amount of $500 The build
ing was unoccupied at the time, but was
furnished throughout.

MAXIMUM LOADS
AT MINIMUM COST
Problem Which Motor Truck
Makers Are Solving.

How best to handle his goods with the
least outlay is the problem every bust
ness man is trying to solve. Rates OF
transportation are constantly increasing
but the price of the goods remains the
same. Traffic conditions in the large
cities are becoming more congested day
by day. Cities are constantly growing
and goods must be delivered at greater
distance. Horses have been performing
this work for years but are gradually
giving way to the motor truck which it
is believed will offer the only solution
possible to the transportation problem
Motor trucks in the first place not only
haul larger loads than is possible for a
horse-drawn vehicle but do away with
much unnecessary handling OF the ar
ticICs in question. A large portion OF the
expense attached to the transportation
of goods is due to the cost of the han
ding of the articles at the terminals.
There are two axioms. however. which
are recognized in every delivery service.
First, the efficiency of a transportation
system is limited not by its carrying
capacity but by its terminal facilities
and second, the essential factor in trans
portation is not the cost of hauling the
goods but the expense of handling at the
terminal stations.
Few owners realize the importance of
these facts as applied to their own in
stallation of motor trucks and to the
facilities which they have for loading
them quickly and also of unloading them
with the least possible delay.
The motor truck is not to be considered
as 4 substitute for SO many horses; but
new unit of transportation which can
be made to greatly improve the efficiency

however, are solving the problem by
studying the conditions of each firms
business and their present delivery sys-
tenn. Having familiarized themselves
with this they have set to work to keep
a minimum number of trucks running,
carrying a maximum load the greater
portion of the time In addition to solv-
ing the delivery proposition of one man
or firm these experts are also doing a
public service. by relieving congested
traffic conditions. Formerly where half

KEEP YOUR AUTO
WELL LUBRICATED
Important Facts for Owners
to Bear in Mind.

The most important feature Of the auto
mobile is proper fabrication. If the ig-
milton system fails completely tho motor
win not run. Should the carbUreter lose
its adjustment, supplying no gas to the
cylinders, the same is true. In either
case no damage results However with
the oiIing system out of order, supply
ing an insufficient amount of oil to the
friction surfaces. the motor continues to
run, and with very little warning the
excessive friction burns out a bearing
or causes the working parts to be dam
aged beyond repair.
Manufacturers, realizing this. have de-
signed the lubricating systems as fool
proof as possible Every friction surface
is provided with means for fabrication.
The most indifferent operator has little
more to do than keep the oil reservoir
supplied and note the flow of oil through
the sight gauGe. Quite often il happens
that the oil pump becomes clogged and
the flow Of oil stopped. In cars proviG
with a sight gauge this trouble can be
detected when the motor is running.
The oil gauge is usually placed in plain
view on the dash and is part of the oil
circuit In other words, the oil flowing
. IT'S work must pass trough the sight
gauge and before the eye of the operator
As different makers of cars employ diff
ferent systems for forcing the oil about
the engine, the instructions from the
manufacturer should be carefully noted
by the purchaser of a car. A great many
systems have no adjustment OF the flow
In such cases there is a single sight feed
on the dash and a constant level main
tanned In the crank case. Other sys-
TENS have several sight feeds with adjust
rnents, and these lead to various narfr ~

sight feeds seldom get out Of order. How
ever, It is quite often necessary to road

EAST Is SEEKING
MINORITY LEADER
Based on Theory that Cannon
Does Not Want Place.

Elbowed aside for many years by COM
and far West, the Eastern Republicans
are about to make a bid for the leader
ship of the House of Representatives.
With this idea in view, they have prac-
dcally effected an alliance with two big
Western delegations. which they claim
gives them a majority of the Republicans
of the next House. Three Eastern Re
publicans aspire to the minority leader
ship. They are Serene E. Payne of New
York, Marlin Z. Olmsted of Pennsylva-
MIA, and John W. Weeks of Massachu-
setts.
Representative Weeks is taking the lead
in the movement of Eastern Republicans
to capture the House leadership. He has
made a canvass of the situation. and it
is understood claims that eighty-three
Republicans of the new House are favor
able to the selection of an Eastern man
as minority leader. The delegations that
are said to be favorable to the plan are
those from New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Ten
nessee, and Kentucky.
The campaign of the Eastern contingent
Is based on the theory that Uncle Joe
Cannon will neither seek nor accept the
place as minority leader. 1t Is known,
of course that Mr.. Cannon has no am
bition in this direction. He wants the
honor to go to some regular Republican.
While ii is generally believed that Uncle
Joe favors Representative James R.
Mann. of Illinois, doubt is expressed that
the former Speaker will take sides, in
asmuch as all of those who will be given
consideration are his friends.
The argument of the Eastern contin-
gent is that il is time that that section
was accorded recognition by the Repub-
licans of the House. Since the retirement
of Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, the West
has controlled the Speakership.

WHY THE AUTO
is CALLED "SHE"
An Enlightening Converse.
tiOn in Massachusetts Ave.

There's something wrong with her car
bu-eter," announced the man with the
mink lined coat When in doubt be al
ways blamed the carbureter The sixty
horsepower, right up to the second, nc
speed limit machine was scudding past
the other cars in Massachusetts, avenue.
'She seems to be missing pretty regu-
larly," agreed George-on-the-front-se
who wore a mere coonskin.
Il think it-I mean she-is going per-
fectly lovely" the girl with the white
fox furs declared as she snuggled back
farther into. the tonneau cushions and
gave a tug at the robes Then. as
both men listened attentively to the hun,
of the motor, evidently unmoved by her
remark. she insisted in q little louder
tone: why do you say 'her?' Is there
any particular reason for giving an auto
mobile the feminine GENDER"
mo: unless 1t is that they are SO
deuced uncertain answered the man in
the t-to-goodness-mink coat, still
keeping an ear trained on the cylinder
that was missing; 'or perhaps it's be-
cause they are such a blamed expensive
luxury" he added.
You see, it's like this" continuing the
man. forgetting for a moment the OBJ
streperous motor. "All the while you
have TO be getting new and improved
equipments. The styles of automobile
accessories change about as fast as Paris
millners conceive new ideas for hats,
and they are about a expensive. Just
when you think you have the swag-
gerest thing in trappings, along comes
the last whisper from the makers and
right away your kit is relegated to the
has beens.'
''Or you go down to the factory and
you see clipper Of n looking car; one
of those raksh models that look like
a college campus on dress parade day.
That's a bully looking car you say to
the salesman, as you picture yourself

machines you leave behind look like sec
ond-hand bicycles L think I'd like that
car
Wouldn't advise you to take it. he
confides. It's built for the cheap trade,
all the value on the outside. They've
gone and dolled a cheap machine all up
to fool some chap who wants TO make
noise like an automobile When the
machinery goes to pieces he looks at
the bright coat of paint with the natty
trimmings and tries to make himself
believe he has a real automobile"
Right there the car stopped and the
fur coated fnen climbed out to size up
conditions Finally George-on-the-front-
seat succeeded in inducing the motor
to behave and confine itself to doing
the things expected Of it.

bile her" he said. as he climbed
aboard with the air Of a man who had
fought a hard fight and won over great
odds It's because it takes a mighty
good man TO run one and run her right.

Greeks and Romans made no mis-.
takes when they put at the base of
all education, the great poets and the
great dramatic writer's and the great
historians, and the great philosophers
of their country. 1t was the best of
all education, and he had noticed in
the excavations at Pompeii. even in
the slums as it were of that country,
that in a scrawling schoolboy hand,
there were texts from the great Roman
writers-the first line of Virgil and
also various texts from him. Did they
make a mistake? He did not believe
so. 1t was good for boys and girls
to be employed in arithmetical and
other problems. It kept them from
mischief If it were wished for a
man to do right, he had to be made
to feel right. In the educational pro-
cesses they were likely to swing too
far to one side, and then swing too
far the other way. He pleaded for a
proper education in books. Waving and
saluting flags did not particularly add
to patriotism. This was kind of
show got up to please strangers, but
he thought that reading was much
better.
Let all read about patriotism, and
see the impression that it made on
the hearts. All the great poems and
all the great dramatic writings were
strewn with texts of the highest moral
qualities. There was nothing like read
ing. He wished that they had in
America great national dramas as the
Romans had, and as the Germans had
today. A library would develop man
all round. Give him a Chinese, a Japa-
nese, an Hawaiian, or any other man,
and he would guarantee that he would
do more with him through reading
American books, and singing patriotic
songs, than through any other me-
diums.
The exercises were brought to a
conclusion by the singing of my
Country 'Tis of Thee" in which all
assembled Joined.

Catching Cold, and the Consequence

New York City health statistics for
the month oil January show that the
deaths resulting from pulmonary troubles
exceed those caused by tuberculosis.
leading, in fact. the entire list of classified
causes These figures deserve promi-
nence. The great majority of pulmonary
cases start with what in popular par
lance is known as Catching cold" and
through neglect of this everyday all
ment pneumonia develops
While the germ of this disease has not
yet been fully identified by the medical
profession. the fact is that pneumonia
Is malady which can be prevented.
Its prevalence, therefore. is an indica-
ton OF carelessness, and caution and the
exercise OF common sense on the part
OF the individual afflicted with a cold
will do as much as psychological re-
search on the part OF science. Without
attempting in the least to detract from
the importance OF the crusade against
the dreaded white plague and its raw
ages. it would be well to pay more at
tent;on to statistics regarding colds"
and their implied danger. The health
authorities should also gain all posi-
bic information concerning the his
tory OF pneumonia cases, in order to
establish the percentage directly tracea-
bic to neglected cold, and which would
be preventable by proper care,
