Lean Commissions Attitude
my belief is that the loan fund

reasonably expected of It with the
kind of weather that has been preva

months. . said Fred Kirchhoff, engi
neer, today.
1T is a case of where we could stay
up there almost continually and worR

tell you that in the wet season much

that even big storm drains are not
enough to carry off the water. II

Kirchhoff says that the Lord Young
Engineering Company worked on the
roads after they had installed the
sewer Hkies. trying to get them back
into proper shape, and that after the
contractors had practically given up

How Autoists Can Economic on Their
Fuel.
A writer in the Farm and Fireside
says:
"Since the high cost OF living has be-
gun seriously to include the price Of
gasoline I have been seeking to devise
ways and means by which a greater
mileage can be obtained. A few OF my
experiments have proved so successful
that I will give them for the benefit OF
other motorists.
IF one will remember to leave the
cut-out open when coasting along I'M
dulating country roads the engine may
be cut off completely without fear OF
bursting the muller. The slight exer-
ton of energy necessary to throw the
switch Off and on will, in a days run
ming, save a considerable amount Of
fuel.
Driving on pavement and city
streets one can also be economical by
shutting off the engine half a block or
more before the stopping place Is reach
ed. 1t is quite unnecessary and harm
full as well to tax the motor with gas,
only to jam on the brakes at the curb q
moment later. The natural impetus of
the car will carry it much farther than
one realizes.
"a strong spark may be employed to
strengthen the motive power of the
gasoline. inexperienced drivers too
often leave their spark lever below its
point OF highest efficiency, thereby over
heating the motor and reducing the
speed value of the open throttle
Through these and similar simple
devices I am getting an average OF six
teen miles to the gallon

HOW -,-.-,
To Tell an Officer Of Our
Army From q Private

n MILITARY man can tell at a
- glance a soldiers rank, and it
will surely interest the layman
to know just how he can read the sol
dier's rank and arm of service by a
glance at the leggings or cap or coat
sleeve
Take, for instance, the cord Oh the
hat. If it's a plain blue cord it be
longs TO an infantry soldier; if it's red
the wearer belongs to the artillery and
IL yellow to the cavalry. The hat cord
worn by an officer is of black and gold
with two little gold acorns.
When. caps are worn the soldiers
but it is minus the braid and bears in
front the crossed arms of his service
and the regimental number. The Off
GERS cap has a band of braid and a
coat of arms indicative of the state.
Regular officers have the United States
coat of arms
The collars of the coat also tell their
tale to the experienced eye. The sol
dier's collar has a disk of bronze with
the name of his state; If a regular it
has IT. s On the other side of the
collar another disk gives his regiment,
company and arm of service. The Off
GERS collar has no disks. 1t tells his
state, arm of service and regiment.
lie regular officer the state is omitted
and the symbol u. s. is used The
arm of service is indicated by crossed
rifles for infantry. crossed sabers for
cavalry and crossed cannons for artil-
lery. First lieutenant has a silver bar
and If captain two bars.
If a coat sleeve has two rows of
stitching and nothing else the wearer
Is a private. That Of the officer is dis
tinguished by row of brown braid.
The overcoat of a private or non
commissioned man simply has a cuff or
else a strap of cloth. which buttons the
sleeve tight around the wrist. But
the sleeve of the officers overcoat is
cuff1ess. If it is perfectly plain with
out braid the wearer is a second lieu
tenant A soutache of one row indi-
Gates a first lieutenant: two rows, a
captain; three rows. "a major; four
rows, lieutenant colonel; five rows,
a colonel If general officers the
stripes are broad. black and horizontal
Even the buttons at the back of an
overcoat will tell you at a glance
whether the wearer is an officer or 9th
erwise. If the two buttons are bone
it Is the coat of an officer. If they are
bronze and have the coat of arms of
the United States it proclaims the
wearer to be an enlisted man.
The leggings of soldier and those
of an officer are also different. Those
OF the former are olive drab canvas
with lacings, while those of the latter
are of leather
