or increase than ever and the five
thousand two hundred American chau-
tauouas. it is estimated, will be at
tended by no less than fifteen million
people.
TO keep these chautauquas In opera
tion requires the services of many
hundreds of people and the list of men
and women who devote all or part of
the summer months to this kind of
work. includes many OF Americas
notables. Besides the hundreds of
musical attractions, lecturers and en-
tertainers. there are many hundreds
of advance men, college crew boys and
other assistants who manage the inn
mense detail of the chautauquas.
The chautauqua of today is operated
on a strict business basis and unlike
many other movements of the present
day. the chautauqua pays its bills and
financially is a success. When 1t is
understood that fifteen millions OF
dollars were spent last year in pro
noting the chautauquas of the United
States, it will be readily understood
that the chautauqua is eXerting an in
fluence not only in hundreds of COM
munities but throughout the nation as
an institution that is making good on
a business basis. ADVERTISEMENT.

showed what it's owner thought was a
mighty poor gasoline average. On the
197-mile run nine and a half gallons
of FLUID were used. This meant that
the carburetor took a gallon of gaso-
line for each 20.7 miles of the road
covered
Going home the fuel consumption
was so absolutely different that Mr..
Thompson paused to inquire, and fin
ally placed the blame with Boreas.
However, road conditions going south
from the Bay City were also forced to
shoulder part of the blame, for the
roll" is all in favor of the south
bound run. The Maxwell used up
just five gallons and one gill of gaso-
line.
Motorists looking for high gaso-
line averages want to consider the
wind as a mighty strong factor" said
Mr. Thompson. 81 have made the
Fresno-San Francisco run hundreds
of times, but not until recently did l
pay much attention to fuel consump-
ton. The difference between the
northern and southern runs was so
pronounced that it could hardly be
laid to the grade conditions, and not
until 1 thought of the wind was l able
to place the blame"
Motorists will find that the above
conditions are quite similar in Idaho,
as e. S. Johnson of the Johnson Auto
Sales Co. has made several tests OF
this nature.

WIND AFFECTS CONSUMPTION
OF GASOLINE IN AUTOS

Motorists who complain of the high
price of gasoline should have a few
harsh words to say for Old Boreas.
The god Of the winds, as shown by
tests conducted during the past week,
increase the gas consumption fully
forty per cent when he is at work with
ordinary velocity; when he is really
trying, Mr.. Wind undoubtedly makes
his batting average much higher
E. p. Thompson, president of the
Thompscn-La Case company at Fres-
no, kept a careful check on wind and
gasoline when he made the run from
the Raisin City to San Francisco. The
trip north was made on Tuesday, and
the return journey Thursday, and in
order to learn if the wind velocity
was anywhere near the same Mr..
Thompson inquired at the govern
ment weather bureau regarding condi-
tons on the two days. The official
report was that the wind speed was
approximately the same.

them, and they grinned to see him
standing with Doctor Quincy behind
the unconscious Bibbs. Sheridan nod
ded to those nearest him-he had per-
sonal acquaintance with nearly all of
them-but he kept his attention upon
his son. Bibbs worked steadily, never
turning from his machine. Now and
then he varied his musical program
with remarks addressed to the zinc
eater

The words were indistinguisnable, but
Sheridan inclined his head to Gurney's
ear and shouted fiercely: "Talkin to

Quincy laughed reassuringly, and
shook his head.

At all events, he made no reply, but
began to run the strip of zinc through
the machine. He did it awkwardly-
and with bad results.
"IIerew he shouted. ''This is the
way. Watch how / do it. There's
nothin' to it, if you put your mind on

was not upon it. He continued to talk
"All you got to look out for is to keep

Don't run your hand up with it,"
Bibbs vociferated, leaning toward him.

followed the strip too far, and the zinc
eater had bitten off the tips of the frs

Who looks mustang in the eyer
Changety, chang, chang! Bash! Crash!
Bang!
So sang Bibbs, his musical gayeties
inaudible to his fellow workmen be-
cause of the noise of the machinery.
He had discovered long ago that the
uproar was rhythmical, and it had
been intolerable; but now, on the aft
ernoon of the fourth day of his return,
he was accompanying the swing and
clash of the metals with jubilant va
quero fragments, mingling improvisa-
lions of his own among them, and
hooking the zinc eaters crash with
vocal mutations:

The long room was ceaselessly thun-

was thick with the smell of oil; the
floor trembled perpetually; everything
was implacably in motion-nowhere
was there a rest for the dizzied eye

Bibbs had become dizzy instantly. and

CONF|SCATE -FOUR
BRITISH BREWER|Es

London, July 1s.-The British
governments Liquor Control Board
has seized the big breweries at
Carlisle and ali the saloons in the
district and will run them. This ia
believed to be the first actual move
in Lloyd Georges reported plan for
the government to take advantage Of
war control to take over the liquor
trade as 1t has taken over and Is
running the telephones, and rail-
roads in war time. Georges ultimate
object is believed to be the death Of
the liquor traihc in England. The
governments agents in Carlisle dis
trict gave the liquor men only ten
days notice Of the seizure. The own
ers will be paid for their properties
either in cash or in government war
bonds. Some Of the saloons are to be
closed, as the governments idea is to
have only few big saloons at cen
trail points rather than many small
drinking houses scattered about in
residence neighborhoods. The saloon
and brewery men have no choice in
the matter.
