NEED A REGULATING VALVE
Use of Water With Gasoline Means a
Considerable Saving of Fuel to
the Auto Owner.

With the exhaust gas heater some
form of regulating valve should be
used and few cross partitions in the
inlet pipe at the point where the heat
is applied help heat the center of the
column of the entering mixture. Case
line will stand about eighty-five pounds
compression without preignition
Kerosene, however, will not stand over
seventy pounds unless a small quantity
of water is taken into the cylinder
with each charge. The customary man
ner of doing this is to employ either
separate small carburetor for the
water or small valve attached to the
regular carburetor. In few engines
the water is injected directly into the
cylinder
The proportion of water employed
is about one and one-half pints OF wa
ter to each gallon of kerosene. II the
water is not used when the motor has
the usual compression employed for
gasoline the motor will preignite and
is very apt to burn out the connecting
rod bearings 1t is not generally known
that water may be used to advantage
with gasoline in about the same pro-
portion with considerable saving Of
fuel.

No Special Session.

Governor McGovern denied the petit
ton for an extra session of the legis-
lature. The governor issued a state
ment of the finances of the state, in
dieating that he can cut down the
s4,325,000 budget OF the state more
than was proposed by special legis-
lation. The petition for a special ses-
sion was signed by Secretary of State
Donald, State Treasurer Johnson, At
torney General Owen and Lieutenant
Governor Morris.
The governors statement in part is
as follows:
"On March 81 Attorney General
Owen, Secretary of State Donald,
State Treasurer Johnson and Lieuten-
ant Governor Morris came to my Of
fee and presented a petition asking
for a special session of the legisla-
ture for the purpose of reducing APP
preparations and lowering taxes.
During the last ten years the
state has paid over more money to
its local subdivisions-the cities. viii
lagos, towns and counties-than It has
received from them in direct taxes.
Big and large. therefore, the state
government has not been a burden
upon taxpayers, but their benefaetor
instead. Nevertheless last years tax
bills were high AS a result. the peo-
pie have not infrequently complained.

Preserve Car Body.

For the particular man, one OF the
most trying things is to have the body
work of his car get shabby. The fol-
lowing mixture makes an excellent
"restorer" for the body work: One
pint Of turpentine, one pint Of wood al
cohol, one quart of distilled or rain
water, one quart Of kerosene oil. Mix
the alcohol and turpentine together.
then mix the water and kerosene oil
together. In order to defy the old
adage about oil and water not mix
ing. it is necessary to place the kero-
sene and water in a gallon jar and
shake briskly until they mix, then add
the alcohol and turpentine, which
have been previously mixed. and
shake the whole until thoroughly mix
ed. The mixture is apt to separate
after standing. but can always be
brought together again by brisk shak-
ing The mixture should be applied
to the body work with the soft side
of a flannel cloth and polished with a
dry one.

he said he had sent word to the Off
Gals that the number of men enlisted

65 men, said General Holway. In
time Of emergencies temporary en-
listment which will increase the num-
Der in each company to 10S is permit
ted.
Reports from different parts of the
state indicate that many men are now
joining the guard"
Asked if he had received any lnfor-
nation from Washington regarding
preparations, Adjutant General Hol-
way said he had not.
Under date of April IS, however, he
issued a general order containing gen
eral instructions for the companies on
the subjects of camping, marching,
etc, and detailing duties of the men
while in service. He said that long
time ago physicians of the regiments
had urged that the men be vaccinated
against typhoid and that large pro-
portion of the men have taken this
treatment.

making it obligatory for all motor cars
to carry a device by means of which
passengers in the interior of their car
