the maintenance cost per animal of a few
years ago. and the showing is of vast i'm
portance to horse owners, 1t is much more
interesting to those who are operating
motor trucks where formerly they en-
ployed horses. We have figures proving
that motor trucks can be maintained at a
great deal less expense required for the
horses they replace. AS an instance of
this economy one has only to glance at
the table furnished by the New York po-
lice department showing that motor
trucks used patrol wagons saved
twice their cost in a single year over the
horse and wagon vehicles they replaced. +"

A well known scientist was lecturing
on the suns heat. and in the course of
his remarks. said:
1T is an established fact that the sun
is gradually but surely losing its heat,
and in the course OF some 7O,O0O.OOO years
it will be exhausted; consequently this
world Of ours will be dead and, like the
moon, unable to support any form Of
life"
At this juncture member of his audi
ence rose in an excited manner and said
Pardon me, professor, but how many
years did you say 1t would be before this
calamity overtakes us?''
The professor: Seventy millions. sir -
Thank heaven" was the reply. Il
thought you said 100000.

AUTO MEN STUDY
NEW MOTOR FUELS
Problem of Cheaper Power
Occupies Attention of Amer
lean Manufacturers.
GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE
is OBJECT OF SEARCH
Improved Carbureting Device Also
Sought by Makers as
Power Producer.

After quietly studying the gasoline sit
uation for the past three months. the Ma
tional Association of Automobile Manu-
facturers has found sufficient grounds to
warrant a thorough investigation of
automobile fuels, including the immediate
applicability Of kerosene and other low
grade petroleum products and the posi-
bilities of developing substitutes for
gasoline itself. Especial arrangements
have been made with the Society of
Automobile Engineers, whereby the lat
ter organization will undertake the more
technical features of the investigation,
including possibly a not inconsiderable
amount of research work. The movement
is significant in that it is the first definite
response Of the automobile industry to the
repeated and insistent complaints Of
motorists throughout the country during
the past nine or ten months. That it will
bring ultimate relief is practically assur-
ed from the fact that the fuel problem
is recognized by the manufacturers them
selves as question involving In some
measure the future welfare of the in
dustry.
At conference with the council Of the
s. A. r. held early last week in New
York city, at which President William f..
Metzger and General Manager Samuel A.
Miles of the National Association were
present. plan of action was sketched out
by which the S. A. +. is given full
auththority to arrange for whatever
scientific research the needs of the in
vestigation may disclose. Such matters
as may be of purely commercial nature
naturally would fall more properly within
the scope of the normal activities of the
association itself.

Scope of Plan.

While definite announcement of the de-
tails of the plan have not been made
public, it is officially stated that it will
embrace both fuels and carbureting de-
vices. To whatever extent may be deem
ed necessary. the ground already covered
by the special fuel committee of the ma
tional association will be gone over again
in an effort to determine exactly the
status of the petroleum industry, particu-
larry with reference to reserve supplies of
petroleum at present held under ground,
and the possibilities in the way Of exploit
ing undeveloped oil fields.
Special opportunity will be given in
ventors and others who are interested in
the development of new fuels as substi-
tutes for gasoline to demonstrate not only
their applicability to automobile propul-
sion, but also the extent to which they
can be produced and the probable rela-
tive cost. In this connection the investi-
cation will study fuels such as the new
motor spirits, recently placed on the
market. and which is manufactured from
a residue formerly marketed at a low
price as fuel oil.

Country Home IS Formally
Opened, in Charge of Board
of Managers.

The formal opening of the Children 5
Country Home. on Broad Branch road.
near Rock Creek Park. took place yester-
day, when a tiny two-year-old girl, the
first guest Of the home. was received. The
babys young widowed mother has been
invited to remain at the home for two
weeks, as the little girl IS so frail as to
render a mothers care necessary.
Miss Reba Taylor, who is in charge
this summer. has been preparing for the
home opening for several days. and the
sleeping rooms. playroom and culinary
department have been placed in readi-
ness for the little guests Who it is ex-
pected. will tax the homes capacity as
soon as really warm weather sets i'll.
Last summer ninety-four children were
cared for together with eight mothers
and their babies, all being entertained
for at least two weeks. Some remained
much longer.
Dolls and Toys Needed.
Miss Taylor yesterday made plea for
more dolls and toys for the use of the
children the homes equipment in this re-
spect being inadequate. Dolls and play
things for. the children are sadly needed,
said Miss Taylor ''as they help to pass
away the rainy days when the children
must be kept indoors. and we have only
a very few toys and. of course no money
withewhch to buy them.

DR. Davdson's approval is given to the
plan Mr.. Adams will go to the supervis-
ing principals of the several divisions,
explain the plan to them and ask their
cooperation in endeavoring to enroll
every school boy and girl as members of
the auxiliary No dues are attached to
this branch of the Street Safety Asso-
citation the only requirement necessary
being a moral obligation to endeavor to
promote street safety in the District.
. Long forms will be sent to all Of the
schools for the children of the several
grades to sign. Teachers of the grades
will be expected to explain to the children
the purposes of the association-which
will be outlined on the forms-and then
all the children who desire to become
members Of the civic organization will
do SO simply by signing their names to
the form. 1t is expected in this manner
to enroll about 5000 youngsters. all of
whom will prove potent factors in pro-
noting street safety.
1t is believed that not only VIII the
children themselves be impressed with
the need for safety through this means,
but that also they will indirectly interest
large numbers Of other persons in the
movement. For instance. OF course. they
will reach their parents through their tale
and the public good.
More detailed work may be done IN
this line by the association next year.
The work this year Will be rather
limited because of the fact that school
closes in a few days.
Special Meeting Tuesday Evening.
None of the committees of the asso-
citation has as yet met formally, but all
will probably hold meetings in the i'm
mediate future. as special meeting of
the association has been called for
in the rooms of The Star next Tuesday
evening. The meeting will be called
To order at o'clock sharp.
Several plans which are now being
worked out will probably be outlined
campaign among the public school
children will also be told. Considerable
work has to be done by the numerous
committees in the near future, as 1t Is
planned to wage a campaign OF great
activity between now and the middle
of July.
The fact that the movement for street
safety seems to be growing throughout
the country is encouraging to the
members of the association who feel
that all of the work, no matter where
upon local conditions. and will serve
to awaken the people of this city to
the need of having care. The latest
evidence of activity in this direction is
