IDENTIFY BODY
OF COLORED BOY
Youth Who Drowned Sunday
day Afternoon Found at
York Haven

The body of the colored boy which
was found floating on the water at
the York Haven electric power plant
yesterday has been identified as that
of James Washington, aged 1S years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James II. WASH
1ngton, 314 Lincol nstreet, who met
death by drowning Sunday afternoon
while he and several companions
were bathing at the foot of Hess
island. opposite Steelton.
According to Washington's COM
panions, James had jumped into the
river from a sand fiat which was
anchored close to shore. The depth
of the water at this point is given as
six feet and forms the edge of a
moderate current flowing from the
Cumberland to Dauphin county
shore, between the Hess island on
the upper side and the Bethlehem
Steel Company island directly be-
low.
An object floating down the river
on this current would continue on
the Dauphin side of the stream un-
til at Middletown, where the water
from the Swatara creek would again
force the object over the York coun-
~ side and this accounts for find
ing the body in the York Haven dam.
Funeral services were held at the
home of the boys parents this af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial was
made in the Midland Cemetery.

Tn the opinion of Chester Naramore, chief, and John H Wiggins of the petro- leum division of the bureau of mines, and of many oil producers and rehners, the oline or of saving gasoline to prevent viewed seriously. is not such as to indi- cate probable need for drastic action by the government or the suspension of the customary useful operation of pas senger automobiles, yet 1t is the patri- otic and unselfish duty of owners to use gasoline with utmost economy. It is not a question of saving money spent for gas oline or of saving gasoline to prevent an increase in price, but of conserving the fuel itself so there will be ample for war needs
 ENGLAND DEPENDENT
 The situation in this country is not like that of England, because England is entirely dependent upon imports for her gasoline supply, whereas the United States is large producing country and exports great quantities of oil and gaso- line, During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, the United States exported 425,- NS13 gallons of gasoline and naptha as compared with 294, 779, ,S09 gallons in the previous fiscal year.

running gear by irregularity of the ground
 Announcement of the details of this tractor has been awaited long time by every agriculturist In the United States who is at all interested in power
 farming machinery It Is also sub ject of great interest to car dealers and implement dealers and a full account of the tractor with illustrations, appear in Motor World.
 It is the tractor that Is going to be
 made in England and used extensively by the allied governments. MT. Ford has surrendered complete set of patterns etc, to the allies with privilege extended them to proceed with the manufacture Of this tractor and pay him no royalties
 TRUCK ADVANTAGES
 Much has been said about the economic factor in the use of motor trucks as
 opposed to animal transportation, but It. tie has been shown in the way of specific instances where savings have been wrought through the use of the power wagon.
 In an investigation conducted by the
 Federal Motor Truck company at Ben nington Vermont, 1t was found that H. w. Meyers & Son, dealers in coal and
 feed, have been effecting saving Of
 s11 day in employing a two-ton Federal
 
 This information was gained through ac- curate records of horse and truck opera tions covering a period Of six months It was further shown by these records that the Federal tow-ton truck had per
 formed $50 per cent more work than any of the firms teams on the same type or deliveries. This has been accomplished at an additional cost of but 20 per cent over the expense of two horses. Taking these figures as basis a two ton truck performs the work of three
 and one-half teams. The cost of the horses is figured at $17S.13 a month, or $5. .93 per day Three and half teams would cost $2O.T per day. The monthly cost of truck operation is put at s213 1T or S7.1O per day. Even including the wages of a helper on the truck this form of transportation would be s11 day cheaper than by the use of teams for the same work.
 Figures submitted by the American Woolen company show that this concern was enabled to cut Its delivery costs considerably through the substitution of motor power for horses. Horse haulage costs this company 10 cents per ton com pared with 34 cents per ton for motor haulage, a saving of 50 per cent. These figures, however, do not include costs of depreciation insurance or interest. By adding these costs to the motor truck operation alcne, the power vehicle will still show a saving of 12 cents per ton.
 NEW TRUCKS ATTRACTIVE
 A new truck in rural community to- day is like the arrival of blooded stall lion a few years ago. It is surrounded by throng of eager admirers who ex- anime 1t from headlights to taillights and voice their opinions just the same as in the days gone by.
 Their eagerness and warmth of argu- ment and the efficient performance of trucks on farms has convinced the ma- jority of farmers of the auto truck s permanent footing in their every day business life
