Nav Be NOiSeleSS Fourth.

A bill has been prepared by Attorney
General Ritchie and will be enacted into
a law by the legislature at its coming ex-
ira session surrounding the sale of ex-
plosives with red tape and identification
to such great degree that dealers will
be thoroughly discouraged. In addition,
SO great has been the demand for mater
ials which enter into the manufacture OF
rockets, bombs and other Fourth of July
fireworks that prices have gone skyward.
The bill prepared by Mr.. Ritchie re-
quires every person selling explosives to
be licensed by the Mayor in Baltimore
city, by the highest municipal officer in
the other cities and towns, and by the
County Commissioners in the counties.
Whenever a sale is made complete
record is to be kept of the purchaser,
place of delivery, purpose for which the
explosives are to be used, etc., and the
purchaser cannot deliver the explosives
bought by him to any other person.. ex-
cept upon taking from such other person
an affidavit stating the use he will make
of such explosives.
No one can sell explosives to a person
unknown to him, unless such person is
introduced in writing by reputable per-
son who is known to him.
1t looks as though the small boy will
have to forego the toy pistol, skyrockets
and other explosive demonstrations OF
his patriotism.

Blaze In Storeroom.
Timely Discovery Saves Big
Corner Building.

Last Sunday night about clever
O'Clock fire was discovered in the store
room occupied by Mr.. VIM. Foreman ant
located in the Lycett Building on tn
northeast corner of Main and Church
street, this place.
Some gentlemen from Union Bridge,
it is said, passing the building in an auto
and saw the flames and began yelling
hey! hey! Mr.. and Mrs. Foreman occupy
the apartment on the second floor and
over the store. Hearing the yelling,
Mrs. Foreman who had not yet retired
looked out of the window and was inform
ed that the fire was almost beneath her.
Rushing into another room she discover
ed flames coming through pipe hole in
the floor, a rug over the hole being al
ready considerably burned. Mr.. Fore
man jumped into few clothes and first
making sure the boys were out OF the
building went after the fire. By this
time persons had been attraated to the
scene, the fire bell rang and hose ready
for business on the scene.
A street or garden hose was attached
to service pipe and water turned into
the room, the doors being opened toleave
the smoke escape. Thefire hadnot made
much headway and the small stream was
sufficient to subdue them. The water
from the fire hydrant was not used but
was ready for use.
After the smoke cleared away it was
found that most of the blaze was in the
southeast corner of the room, evidently
starting under the counter on which set
showcase in which was considerable
candy. Much of the counter, the cases
and shelving against the wall were burn
ed. A light meter against the wall on
the opposite side of the room was ruined
by the heat and much of the paint on
the woodwork in the room severely bis
tered. A lot of candy and cakes were
ruined, paper sacks and cartons burned
and the glass in the inner win ndows brok-
en-. The entire lower floor was smoked
very badly.
The cause Of the fire is unknown, the
supposition being that mouse accident
ly bit into a match. Mr.. Foreman had
been in the store about half an hour be-
fore the fire was discovered and at that
time everything was all right.
Had not the traveller saw the blaze so
soon. the entire building might have
burned and with it the Mackley Building
adjoining in which is located this office,
Mackley's confectionery and Shaffer's
clothing store.
The building and stock is insured. The
loss is estimated at $400.
Mayor Jos. C. Weddle ran to the fire
and was badly bruised by stepping back
ward into the cellar, the street door hav-
ing been opened to see if any fire had
made its way through the floor He
however was able to be at work Monday
morning.

Take The Loan.

BY EDWARD EVERETT HALEJ
Come, freedom of the land,
Come, meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand,
Take the loan!
For the hopes the prophets saw,
For the sword your brothers draw,
For liberty and law,
Take the loan!
Ye ladies of the land,
AS ye love the gallant band,
Who have drawn a soldiers brand.
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what she could,
Who would give the soldier food,
Who would staunch her brothers blood,
Take the loan!
All who saw her hosts pass by,
All who joined the parting cry,
When we bade them do or die,
Take the loan!
AS We wished their triumph then,
AS we hope to meet again,
And to meet their gaze as men,
Take the loan!
Who could press the great appeal
Of our ranks of serried steel,
Put your shoulders to the wheel,
Take the loan
That our prayers in truth may rise.
Which we press with streaming eyes
On the Lord of earth and skies,
Take the loan

The commencement season at the
Thurmont High School has been filled
with social events the past week, and
surpassed to some degree any season
since the establishment of High School
in Thurmont.
Beginning ednesday evening of last
week, the Faculty and members Of the
Class of IT were entertained at the home
of Prof. and Mrs. A. M. Isanogle, near
Lewistown. Needless to say all had
royal good time.
One of the very delightful features of
the evening was the homemade"
refreshments served by the hostess. The
very appetizing salad, crisp chips, pickle,
sandwiches, rolls of fea ther's lightness,
coffee and cream fit for an epicure, de-
licious cakes, creamy mints, all showed
the manipulating deftness of the hostess's
hands so we speak of the refreshments
as being homemade. But with her
usual graciousness the hostess allowed
her guests to see that she appreciated
the limits of others by serving ice cream
and giving small U. S. flags as souvenirs,
neither of which she had personally pre-
pared.
On Thursday evening the class of 1918
entertained the Faculty and Graduating
Class in the High School building. The
auditorium was handsomely decorated
for the occasion. Vocal and instrumental
music and games of various kinds COM
posed the program for the evening. Re-
freshments were served at tables in one
of the basement rooms, cards bearing

TOUR COST LESS THAN
 DOLLAR PER DAY

Perhaps it was John Burroughs ol Rudyard Kipling, perhaps it was FL bert Hubbard who spoke of getting where one could hear the heart O. nature TDeat' as the ideal place to spend a vacation.
 Whoever said it was mighty wise man according to the most eminenl neurologists.
 For getting back to nature" is the surest cure for a jaded appetite ant ragged nerves.
 Formerly the ."getting back" meant discomfort-one listened to the bab- bling brook and the malicious mos quito at the same time.-and forsool a comfortable bed for lunIpy piece o1 ground where every blade of grass was like a porcupine quill
 But now the up-to- date nature hunt CT goes in his car.
 MT. Greth, manager of the Harmon Motor company Studebaker dealers tells how to do it.
 "A Studebaker car" he says, "car be made up just like arr Pullman.
 "The rear seat is AS inches wide just a little narrower than the regulator double bed. Lift up the removable front seats. turn them around so tha their backs are to the front, pull tho back cushion forward and drop it doWr in the tonneau and you have an idea bed foundation Then a blanket O two and pillows are all you need tC make two people thoroughly comfort able.
 "The Studebaker top with its Jiffy type storm curtains is much more sat isfactory than the average tent, and IT the car there's no danger of mlnla- ture flood wetting everything and youl having to dress with your feet Tn { puddle of water. You are also ava! from bugs, ants, etc, that are aW tt crawl over you if you sleep on the ground.
 "A compact, portable cooking outfit costs only a few dollars and there's plenty of room for it and the othel baggage in the big Studebaker ton neau.
 With such an outfit living expense: should be a matter of about a dollar Q day and if you're a fisherman anC there is a farm house near your camp ing place your supplies will cost ever less.
 If you want to take a large party one of the new camp trailers will solve the problem-two grown ups and child can sleep in the Studebaker anC the rest in the trailer. kHOW Ol llO Itti Dul NA' that is so thoroughly adaptable to this purpose.
 Friends of mine have already tried the scheme in their Studebaker cars and are so enthusiastic that l felt it a shame to keep such a good idea dark

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
 WILL SAVE TIRES

A motorist who is driving an auto aoblle that is wasteful of tires is not toing his bit according to G. E. Brun- CT, manager, service department, of he Goodyear Tire and Rubber com ,any. And many motorists who are east suspecting are often the worst Tenders. For their mistakes are hose of omission rather than commits ion. For instance-if you are observ- ng you will find it difficult to drive our car for even a short distance, in region of automobiles, without see ng many cars with wheels out of llgnment-hobbling and staggering long like a drunken man, wabbling way the motorists good money that vas spent for long tire mileage, ac- ;ording to a communication received y local branch manager, s. A. San ord.
 And as the driver is unable to see he tire as 1t revolVes, his first suspi- ion that things are not just right, comes when he notices that his tire read is wearing off abnormally fast But even then the cause of the trouble hidden from him and in the absence )f a tangible reason for his trouble, 1e concludes that the tire was de- 'ective
 Excessive tread wear, however, can n almost every instance be traced to improper alignment of wheels. There Ire many minor accidents that forced a wheel out of line The car may be driven liagonally against the curb, or one wheel drop into a large rut with the opposite wheel unaffected, an axle, steering rod or knuckle may be bent or he demountable rims may be applied erooked-any of these produce abnor- nal tread wear. for they cause the ire to undergo a diagonal grind as it passes over the road surface. This grind wears off a tread just as surely IS if it were applied to an emery wheel
 Tt is a wise procedure to check hese points just as soon as prema : ure tread wear begins to show. The 'ause is usually found in a few mo- nents when searched for properly.
 Goodyear service stations are equipped to determine alignment of wheels and are anxious to stem the tide if wastefulness caused by disalign- nent They are waiting to render ser 'ine. Pick ont one and drive in"

with a money-back guarantee. so that he may find out if the apparatus works satisfactorily on his vehicle be- fore he makes the final purchase
 We spoke before of power losses in the engine and this form of fuel waste is not confined to the power plant For instance, much power may be wasted at the clutch if this part is not func- tioning properly. If the clutch slips excessively. potential power is being lost and the fuel which produces it is being wasted. The cone clutch with leather facing may need a treatment with fuller's earth or neatsfoot oil or perhaps the spring tension requires In the dry disc clutch there may be gum on the plates or the springs may need attention. An oil disc clutch may have burned out one of its plates, the spring pressure may be wrong or the lubricant may not be correctly diluted with kerosene.
 We touched on the subject of lubri-
Arizona republican., 1917-08-26

cation before and we would again em- nhasize the fact that wherever there is a moving surface not thoroughly lu- bricated there is wasted power. Lu brication must be copious. complete and correct, if the full power producing value of the fuel consumed is to be obtained.
 Then there is the question of tires. It is an unquestioned fact that power is wasted when the tires are operated under inflated, so that an excessive area of the tread comes in contact with the ground. Incidentally. While this practice, all too common among Amer ican motorists wastes fuel, 1t also injures the tires, which is a very ex- pensive form of waste. It is better to run the tires at a few pounds over the prescribed imitation point than few pounds under it. In addition every owner ought to have the alignment of his front wheels checked up once in four months When the tires are run

ming out If alignment. a scrapinr movement is set up. which not onl, wastes power, but wears out the tire: very quickly. The owner who care. anything for his pocketbook probably needs no hint as to the desirability O, plugging all cuts in the rubber treat as soon as they appear.
 If the suggestions made above ar conscientiously needed. the result vii pe an appreciable saving for the in1, ridual owners pf motor vehicles and an enormous saving in our nationa resources of motoring necessities which are part of our equipment fo' waging the present war. The man Wh' operates his car with real economy not only benefitting himself, but f performing patriotic duty at a crisi in his country's history.
