War Publicity Valuable
Says British Press Agent

ury to watch all other departments to
promote economy, Il is the business of
this office to watch all other depart
ments to make sure that interesting in
formation of value to the allied cause
is issued without delay.
In the fog of great war the popu-
lar mind is often apt to lose its sense of
proportion and forget the main issues.
1t is the business of the department of
information to try, as far as possible,
to keep before the mind the essential
questions of the war and the true p0-
sition of affairs.
1t is very difficult for the lay mind
to grasp the principles on which army
and navy authorities exercise censor
ship. # must be remembered that the
success of their operations and the lives
of their soldiers often depend on these
things Only men engaged in such work
day by day can say exactly what kinds
of information may be of use TO the
enemy Take the matter Of mentioning
the smaller fighting units, which gem
eraI headquarters has decided against.
We have found that the Germans, even
when they have the best opportunity,
as when they have taken numbers OF
British prisoners, nearly always are
wrong in some respects as to the COM
position of our army facing them. And,
in any case, the German generals are
always somewhat in doubt. We simply
give ourselves the beneflt of all such
doubts, by restricting their information
TO the minimum.
But there is extremely little Informs
tion withheld from the public, if it can
stand the acid test: 'Will it benefit
the enemy?''
The breaking down of old prejudiees
and old traditions in regard to public
ity was not accomplished without heart
bnrninGs in the breasts of many off
cials, but the fact that they have learn
cd as fast as they have would seem to
prove they've come to like it, This
means that Great Britain will see tho
game through with the dayA- turned
on and her cards on the table.

WHAT rs GOOD GAsoL1NE2

In an article dealing with the Bureau
of Mines tentative gasoline speeifiea-
tiops, Oildom for March, f9lT, says:
|"In these specifications gravity IL om-
tilted entirely as a basis for test, vclatii-
ity being the basic property for deter
mining the grade and usefulness Of
gasoline.
'rVolatihty is just another term for
boiling point said G. II. Hamilton,
district sales manager Standard Oil
company, in discussing these proposed
specifications. es
"Motor fuel efficiency depends on
the boiling points or volatility Of the
gasoline, Just ash the Bureau OF Mines
Indicates. These boiling points must
te in a continuous chain, an unbroSen,
gradually rising series-low boiling
points, medium boiling points for quick
and smooth aeceleration, high boiling
points for power and mileage
"Needless.to say, gasoline having this
correct series of boiling points cannot
be made by mixing or blending. There
are too many intermediate points to be
provided to make the unbroken chain.
On the other hand, in straight refinery
gasoline, the continuous chain Of boiling
points is developed naturally during dis
tillation. -

Car Orders On Hand
Forecast Big Year
Heavy Demand by People for Motol
Cars Spurs Dealers to Close
Contracts

Contracts With distributors and deal
ers for the handling Of $4,000 automo-
biles were closed by the Maxwell Motor
Sales corporation Of Detroit in less than
two weeks after the company started
making its annual contracts ON July 1.
The company finds that the men who
have handled the Maxwell line in the
past are optimistic as to the future.
And the dealers and distributors being
added for the first time to the Maxwell
rolls are equally sure that the country,
during f917-191S is to absorb a tre-
mendous number of motor vehicles
We look for prosperity, sales and
profits.
The people of our section have money
and are going TO buy automobiles. The
automobile today is necessity and is
steadily becoming more So"
This is the substance of what Max
well motor ear detalers in every part of
the United States have to say regard
ing the outlook
1t is this present and prospective
heavy demand that is squirting the dis
tPibutOrs to close their contracts early.
They want to be sure of getting all the
ears their trade will need.
The Maxwell one ton truck is also in
spring dealers to hurry and make sure
Of the Maxwell line. Both the demand
and the output of this truck will grow
tremendously in the next year, it is ex-
peetcd, and dealers know that the truck
is really an asset to their business.
Referring to the quick signing of
these contracts for the merchandising of
10000 motor ears, Walter Z. Flanders,
president and general manager Of the
Maxwell company said:

Motorcycle Guards
Accompany Wilson

TO strengthen the guard about Pres
ident Wilson, two secret service off
GERS, riding motorcycles, have been
designated to attend the president on
his automobile runs about Washington
During the Taft administration it was
the custom for motorcycle men to ae'
company the president on his excur
siOns about the city, but President
Wilson decided that this was not neces
sary in his regime. The present wal
crisis is responsible for the reinstate
ment of the two motorcycle guards, il
being realized that the mobility of the
two-wheeler made guards mounted OF
them doubly effective.

GRAPHITE IS GOOD

Graphite and oil mixed to the com
sistency of cup grease is far better
than the latter for almost any part of
a tar, particularly the spring bolts and
steering parts. No matter how long the
part has been neglected, some of the
graphite win remain to form lubri-
cant. 1t is true it is most apt to soil
clothes and hands, but it also saves bills
oecasioned by rust and wear and tear.
Try it and you will not be disappoint-
ed in the results.

Course of Cures.

My wife has been sick with tuber-
culOsis for two years and we have
spent a large sum of money for doe
toring and medicine, having taken
eighteen different kinds, all of which
have done her no good"
The above abstract from a letter Of
one our correspondents would seem
to be pretty near enough experience
to drown the faith of that family in
the ability of drugs, to effect cure
of tuberculosis.
However, it is a safe bet that our
advice to get the wife under treatment
at one Of the Wisconsin tuberculosis
sanatoria will not be followed This Is
likely as it is not possible to hold out
any honestly positive assurance that
the sanatorium will accomplish, at this
late date, what the drugs failed to do.
tuberculosis can effect a lot of de-
struction in two years and the likeli-
hood is that the disease existed long
time before it was recognized. The
more one knows about tuberculosis,
however, the less willing is he to ever
say that there is no chance of recov-
cry.
Nobody recognizes the limitations
of 'doctoring and medicines more
than do intelligent DOCTORS The fail
ure to secure the desired cure may not
be the fault primarily of either the
doctor or the drugs. 1t is likely that
most Of the medicines in this case
were taken on the recommendations
Of somebody who knows no more
about intelligent prescribing than a
chicken does about making an ONE
lette
To accomplish cures, remedies and
prescriptions need to have more made
tO-order judgment than drugs put in
to them.
We recommended the sanatorium
in the above instance because there,
lit seems most likely, the patient would
find the most skillful and experienced
workmen in handling the materials
that enter into cures Of the disease.
But the most competent doctors can
not create life, nor can they restore
it to body from which it has almost
entirely fed

ing the dissemination of intelligence
among the people. The coal trust
holds the consumer to the highest price
he can bear in preference to freezing.
The leather trust pleads a shortage
yet the high prices prevailing for cheap
grades of shoes are prices forced by
combination.
eff the congress of this country
is to carry out faithfully its function
of public service it must grapple with
these mighty forces-the great COM
binations-that are today standing be-
tween the producer and consumer, and
blindly, sordidly creating discomfort
which, if unchecked, may bring on a
catastrophe besides which the Food
Riots of old would appear insignif1-
cant
Relief from the high cost of living
will come only when the rapacious
trusts are curbed. And the trusts will
be curbed. Congress and the president
will be forced to take palliative meas
ures The peoples representatives in
high position will be derelict if they
do not come Immediately to the res
cue of the householder"
