TEST TUBE
FOUND To
HAVE Nj
DANGER
PoStoffice Department Notified.
Executive Suspected Bomb.
Find 1t Carbon Dioxide.

A bad scare for Mayor Woodward
was disspated by United States Gov
eminent inspectors Thursday when a
mysterious and ominous looking gun
metal tube stuffed at one end with
paper wadding was found to contain.
not nitroglycerin to blow his honor
sky high as at first feared but
Carbon dioxide.
The fact that no attempt had been
made on the Mayors life was es-
tablished only after much consulta-
ton and examination that was
shrouded in a veil of utmost Sc
crecy
How Mayor Found Tube.
The Mayor opened one uninterest-
ing letter after another in a leisure
ly fashion Thursday morning. Then
he picked up an oblong envelope
with something heavy in it, Mayor
Woodward ripped it open with one
stroke of his penknife and the con
tents dropped on his desk with
sharp rap
He reached for his electric bell and
gave two sharp rings. Secretary
Frank Hammond bounded into the
executive Office in response. The two
looked aSkance at a little package
carelessly wrapped in blank paper.
Slowly they unwrapped it to find a
dark metal tube about the size of
mans finger and about two and one
half inches in length. 1t had the ap-
pearance of test tube of a chemist.
one end was rounded and solid but
the other was stopped up as though
with a cap to be discharged
Secretary Hammond was hastily
dispatched to the Office of Chief In
spector Barry, in the postoffice, for
detective aid.
While he was out the City Hall re-
porters called on Mayor Woodward.
The Mayor received them with out
ward calm and discussed only such
subjects as the latest development in
the building of the crematory and his
recent controversy with Dr. Lincoln
Mcconnell.
A fact noted but considered unim-
portant at the time was that he care

mantel in his office, some ten feet
from his desk. AS the reporters went

but his identity was not known by
the reporters at the time.
Mayor k-Gps NUN.
Later information showed that
Mayor Woodward explained the re-
ceipt and opening of the strange
package. Inspector Graham left for
an examination of the tube
He had hardly left when the re-
porters returned with the tip" that
Mayor Woodward had received
nitroglycerin capsule through the
mail Mayor Woodward evaded all
questions. and real sleuthing began.
Inspector Barry and Superintendent
of Mails Hart, in the postoffice. were
closely questioned as to the contents
of the envelope. Only Mr. Hart had
seen it. He said the envelope was
postmarked 9 p. m. Wednesday, but
that he could tell nothing further
about it than it looked suspicious.
1t was learned that Inspector Gra-
ham had gone to a gunsmith to have
'he vial examined to determine its ex-
piosive possibilities. The reporters
struck out hot on his trail Every
gunsmith in the city was visited.

RECORD WEEK FOR

"The largest week of sales we have
ever had since we entered the motor

Z. W. Brewer of the Bicycle Supply
company describes business for the

FRANCE TO MAINTAIN
AERIAL SUPREMACY

PARIS, April 5.-Thc vast aerial
preparations being made by Germany
have caused widespread uneasiness in
France, and today the French cabinet
decided on a bill designed to maintain
the country's ,boasted pre- eminence in
aviation
Even the outlines of the new mea.
sure have been kept secret. 1t will be
presented to parliament when that body
reassembles on May 7.
1t is agreed. according to the off
cial announcements, that "the condi
tions of war on land and sea have been
so changed by the progress made in
the navigation of the air that France
must put forth fresh e1e-tiors in thi:
direction
France already possesses 600 aero
planes, but is deficient in dirigibe bal
looms capable Of dropping explosives or

PIERCE ARROW AVID
HUDSON SERVICE

The delivery Of a Pierce Arrow or
Hudson car to a buyer does not con
clude the relation between the buyer,
dealer and manufacturer: 1t is rather
the beginning" was the statement
made by frank Botterill of the Tom
Botterill Automobile company yester-
day. 'Seryice is a word that is lust
as broad in its meaning as the dealer
aud manufacturer chooses to make it.
In the instance of the Pierce Arrow it
means that the manufacturer and dealer
will do everything in their power to
aid the owner in obtaining the utmost
satisfaction and use from mis- car. In
other words, ~ Mr.. Bottcrill says, "we
feel somewhat the position of the sound
dealer in bonds, who realizes that in
order to hold the trust of his customers
he must see that every investment is
n good one and that he must pay the
highest rate Of interest compatible with
safety.
HService such rs the Pierce Arrow
company aspircs to give would be i'm
possible without an organization, the
building of which has been the result
of years of steady growth. It's root
is at the factory and its branches reach
tn all parts of the country. Every
Pierce Arrow dealer has factory trained
men in his service department. Many
Of these men have been associated with
the company for years, These mon not
only attend to actual wants of owners
personally, but they also instruct own
ers and drivers in the methods to em-
ploy in order to secure the best results
from their ears. At regular intervals
these service men employed by the
Pierce Arrow and Hudson dealers gath.
CT at the factory, whore engineers and
heads Of construction departments in
struct them thoroughly in matters OF
construction. The latest adjustments
are explained to them and thus an.
other step toward the satisfaction of
the owner is attained.
fDuring the past week C. S. Whit
uey, an expert on the Washington
electric lighting system, which is used
by the Pierce Arrow company, and Ar
thur Kumpf. Pierce Arrow mechan
ical road man, have been with us. in.
structing our shopmen in several of
their latest devices"

TIRE USERS PLEASED
WITH REDUCTIONS

Owners of pleasure cars and motor
trucks will welcome the Joyous tidings
from Akron, o. The Goodrich Tire com
pany is responsible for the JOY. Its
new price announcement. coming as it
does from so dominant factor in the
tire field, has led to speculation as to
whether other tire companies will fol
low the Goodrich lead.
No explanation or reasons why are
gwen In this announcement" said a
prominent tire man. "But with crude
rubber selling at somewhat lower fig,
nre than that prevailing for year or
more past, and the constant devising
and application of new higher eff
cheney methods of tire manufacture, the
reduced Goodrich tire prices are but a
natural outcome.
''This instance shows the willingness
Of great corporation to give the buy
ing public the benefits derived from
changed and improved conditions.
HWe understand that the reduction
betters the present price to the user D
per cent. This, coupled with the re.
duction first put into effect by the
same company nearly year ago. en-
ables the purchase of tires by the user
now at a material saving over prices
prevailing nrior to April of last year. -
Mr.. e. c. Tibbitts. advertising man
ager Of the B. r, Goodrich company,
states: HOur factories iat Akron have
not been hurt or interfered with by the
flood. while other factories there have
been less fortunate. The Goodrich
plants arc WORKING to the full capacity
night and day. Many workmen from
other cities have hcen attracted to
Akron because Of the published reports
of testimony of Mr.. F.. C.. Shaw. vice
president of the Goodrich company. be.

conditions at Akron. showing that

GASOLINE ECONOMY
IMPORTANT DETAIL

Economical operation with six
cylinder car, or in fact any car, may be
said to be attained when about four
teen miles on one gallon Of gasoline is
the average over a fairly long period
in the use of that car,' says Arthur
Holmes, chief engineer Of the II. H.
Franklin Manufacturing company.
"Gasoline economy is but one of the
many economies that can and should
be worked for OH car. 1t is possible
but verv seldom obtained by the aver.
age man, no matter what car he owns
This merely indicates that he has not
the knowledge Of the different things
that go to make up economical use OF
gasoline
"In general. if one understood the
combustion of fuel in the cylinder, he
would have all that is necessary to un.
derstand economical operation. he
should know that certain amount OF
fuel. and this will practically in every
case be gasoline, requires air mixed
with it in order to have it burn and
thus produce power. 1t is necessary
that il should have the correct amount
of air, although a little excess OF
air docs very little harm. Tt is nee
essary in order to have economical op
Grafton that each cylinder have cor
rect mixture and this problem is one
of distribution. If perfect mixture
were made in the carburetor, distrIbu
tion would be easy, but in general to
dav it is a mechanical mixture of gaso
line and air. and the correct distribu'
tion Of this is not easy
