Substitutes for Gasoline.

In the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion c. H. Claudy, the automobile expert,
says:
There are number of liquids on the
market the makers of which claim will
do various wonderful things to make
gasoline more economical to use and the
engine more powerful. Without an ex-
haustive test of each and every one of
them | would not want to go on record
as advising or condemning any of them.
at seems logical, however, to believe
that if the claims of the various manu-
facturers were demonstrable, all auto
mobile manufacturers would advise the
use of such liquid in their cars. So far
as l know, no such advice is given by
any manufacturer.
i do not believe that you would be apt
to damage your car by making a trial.
but l confess to feeling somewhat doubt
ful that the result will be what YOU
hope for. The great disadvantage of
trying such liquid seems to me to be
that in practically all cases the readiust-
ment of the carburetor is necessary. and
1t Is always a good automobile practice
to leave properly adjusted carburetor
alone"

MAN KILLED IN FIRE
And Loss of ssoo,ooo Was Sustained at
State Arsenal

New York, July l5.-0ne man was
killed and several fremen were over
come by smoke in fire which swept
the New York state arsenal at Seventh
avenue and Thirty fifth street late yes
terday. Large quantities of military
equipment was estimated at S500000.
The cause Of the fire, which started
in the carpenters shop, has not been
determined. Explosion of half mil
lion rounds of small arms ammunition,
300 rounds of shrapnel and 100 rounds
of shell was averted by quick work
in flooding the magazine just before
the flames reached it.
Among the stores DESTROYED were
5000 rifles, five motor trucks and large
supplies OF clothing, shoes, blankets and
tentage. The man killed was Thomas
McNally, a state chauffeur. AIcNally
went into the burning building and was
not seen again until fremen brought
him out unconscious. He was found un.
der an automobile, badly burned. He
died 90 minutes afterwards
The state carried no insurance on the
destroyed material.

Breaking Up Brooding Hens.

Before closing up at night ! make the
rounds of the houses and take in charge
all hens found on the nests, says T. T.
Richey in very seasonable article in
Farm and Home. The broodies are placed
| in small house that is bare of all fur
nishing except several perches and a
dropping board. A strong, active male
is also kept in the house.
The broodies are supplied the regular
ration and are given all the milk they
will consume. In three days they are
given their freedom and rarely does one
go back to the nest. Usually in week
after being removed from the nest they
are laying again.
The broody hen is not hard to break
up if she is taken in charge the first
night she remains on the nest. If per-
mitted to remain on the nest several
nights, the broody fever increases and
the task of getting her to change her
mind bec1mes a difficult one. Besides,
when not taken in hand immediately
broody hen loses flesh rapidly, which
must be regained before she can lay
again.
Starving broody hen with the idea
of breaking her up is the worst possible
thing that could be done. When, after
being subjected to the starving method
the fever finally leaves her she is in such
rundown condition that weeks of good
feeding and good treatment will be re-
quired to get her in shape to lay again.

TO COMBAT SHARKS.
Resources of United States Departments
to Be Utilized.

Washington, D. c., July l5.-The fed.
eral government yesterday canvassed its
resources for combating the invasion OF
North Atlantic coast waters by sharks.
President Wilson and his cabinet dis.
cussed what could be done to prevent
more tragedies like those which have oc-
CURED recently along the New Jersey
shore, and the coast guard and life-sav-
ing services were ordered to assist in
shark determination in every way pos
sibe.
The bureau of fisheries issued formal
statement during the day, advising wide
spread fishing for sharks and warning
bathers TO keep in shallow water, but
admitting inability to advance a certain
ly effective means of preventing further
attacks. The statement asserted, how.
ever, that there was no reason for panic
among seaside bathers.
A beach patrol was suggested to the
bureau of fisheries yesterday by Repre-
sentative Scully of New Jersey, and Rep
resentative Bacharach of that state in
troduced resolution to appropriate S.
900 to aid the bureau and state authori-
ties in the campaign against sharks.

AMERICAN RIGHTS SAFE.
Are Not Harmed By the Russo-Japanese
Treaty

Petrograd, July ID, via London, July
Is, 3:25 a. MN statement given to
the Associated Press tonight by Sergius
Sazanoff, minister of foreign affairs, the
minister declares that American rights
are not harmed by the new Russo-Jap-
anese agreement.
"The convention just signed" says the
statement, SIS the natural development
of previous conventions concluded be-
tween Russia and Japan in 1907 and
1910. The former of these conventions
expressly mentions the engagement of
the contracting parties to respect the
principle of equal opportunity for trade
and industry in China and to uphold and
defend this principle.
"This engagement remains in full force
after the conclusion of the convention of
1906, which has purely political and
conservative aim. safeguarding and de-
Tending Russian and japanese territorial
rights and special interests in China
against foreign aggression.
'The new convention does not inaugu-
rate any policy injurious to American
rights and interests any more than the
convention of 1907 and 1910. These two
agreements have proved perfectly in ac-
eordance with the friendly relations al
ways entertained between the United
States and Russia"
