TO SAVE GASOLINE.

A device which he claims has shown
@, saving of from 90 to 40 per cent in
gasoline has been invented by Dr. Oscar
Hayes, formerly health commissioner of
Denver and now an acting assistant
surgeon in the United States navy. This
il moisture carburetor connected with
the water intake and exhaust manifolds
in such a way as to deliver the greatest
possible amount of heat to the carbu-
rector. The water travels along tiny
groove, half way around the curved sur
face of a rotary valve, where it meets
the heated air and produces the de-
sired moist air for the increased power.
The water inlet is regulated by needle
valve which is connected with a foot
control on Fords and dash control on
other cars. Water is turned on after
the engine is started and must be shut
off as soon as the engine is stopped.
The moisture does not go through the
regular carburetor, but meets the gas
mixture in the intake manifold, thus
tending toward perfect combustion.

Offers Real Potatoes
For Rdileody Fare
Conductor of the West Side Electric
Bemoans Fact That Company Ac-
cepts Cash Only for Transfer.

60MuauS Z ACT IuaC company AC-
cepts Cash Only for Transfer.
A conductor on the North Shore
Electric is bemoaning the fact that
rigid rules cover what he must accept
as fare on the trains of that road. His
grief is included in the fact that he
missed splendid opportunity of add
ing to his store of worldly goods, when
he was forced to refuse eight good
sized potatoes, presented to him by a
passenger as fare, Monday. The fare
collected was 109 cents
1t seems that the passenger is a resi-
dent of the rural district and has more
potatoes than money. Realizing that
potatoes are being accepted as legal
tender in some places, he braved the
dangers of foul play to the extent of
carrying eight good sized nuggets of
tuber with him On a trip to Kenosha
When approached by the conductor
for his fare, he handed the potatoes.
The trainman opened the sack and
then his eyes lit up. He pondered a
moment, then started to hand them
back-blt hesitated. His better judg-
ment again gained possession and al
though if he owned the railroad he
would probably have traded lifetime
pass for the tubers, he was forced to
act according to orders. Then again
the possibilities of detection was too
great and the conductor ruefully and
gingerly but honestly handed them
back and the passenger was forced to
pay his care.
1t is said, however, that the ruralite
later traded the potatoes for suit of
clothes in a local establishment.

by ifc-and-drum corps that Just

Their ranks. stretching from curb TO

little woman with timid blue eyes,
whispered to her sister. "You look on
the right, and I'll look on the left.
Keep a-looking till he comes"
An advance guard came into sight
Then behind the Mayor they came,
wayy lines Of husbands and fathers
and sons, and the women leaned out
over the restraining arms OF the po-
licemen. their eyey searching far down
the ranks for just one figure.
The timd blue eyes were the quick

got TO the grandstand, the little woman
was on her tiptoes looking hungrily al

left. How did she know? Why, a
timid, little wife knows well the tilt
of an Irish head that means all the
world to her-wouldn't she know that
head in An army of a million men
Then "he" came along, for second

dazed and motionless for many min

But what made them blow and snort

Finally, there were tho few who under

serve officers to Eyes right
Yet none of these things served to
mar in the slightest the impressiveness
of the event. The stamp Of the city
approval was given By the presence OF
the borough's highest officials on foot
in the van of the civilian troops. Bor-
ough President Pounds marched every
step Of the way, and with him were

As the first Of tho young officers
reached the stand they were halted for
brief farewell address by Chaplain
Boynton. He said, in part:
"Nen. comrades, the glorious com
pany Of American patriots salutes you

While New York's drafted men showed
in the parade yesterday morning that
they have the solderly spirit, IN :he
afternoon they proved they have power
full voices and capacity for relaxation.
Eight thousand men of the first quota
were guests Of the New York National
League Club at the Polo Grounds. The
guests cheered patriotic utterances by
Mayor Mitchell, shouted in approval at
the invitation Of Major General Bell
for their relatives TO visit them at
Yaphank, but the outburst Of the enthu-
sissm was greatest late in the after
noon, when the Giants threatened TO
rally in the eighth inning and snatch
away a victory from the Braves.
Mayor Mitchell, whose big league
baseball experience was gained by
throwing out the first balls at the open
ing Of the season, stood a. the home
plate at Gals, and told the selected men
Whist this city expected Of them.
