Predictions of an Early Cold

urgent need for shoes, clothing, hats
and other equipment which the society
will be called upon to distribute when
the demand is made upon them by the
poor and needy during the cold winter
months.

Even canes and crutches are of serv-

placed in service among the aged and

Only the other week Mr.. Welch issued
a pair of crutches TO small boy who
had been run down by an automobile.
F'atherless, this lad would have been
forced to sit in a chair until his limbs
became strong enough to bear the
weight of his body had II not been for
the crutches issued to him. After
he had fully recovered the use of his
legs, the crutches were returned and

Franklin Stock
Touring Car in
Sensational Run

Three hundred miles across the
state OF Pennsylvania from Pitts
burgh 20 Philadelphia in the record
time OF nine hours and % minutes
s. the achievement made last week
BY J. N. Eyler OF Pittsburgh, in a
series nine Franklin stock touring
car. This sensational drive repre-
sents the fastest time ever recorded
BY an automobile between the two
cities
The trip was the result OF a wager
that the distance could not be made
IN less than 10 10 hours and 81
600 was the stake. Mr.. Eyler start
ed in a heavy fog from the Pitts
burgh court house at 5 a. IN. and at
2:2S D. m. his Franklin was park
ed in front OF Broad St station. in
the very center OF the Quaker city.
The route which he traversed led
through many small towns. and in
both terminal cities he had 20 pass
through many miles OF downtown
sections, which in the case OF Phila-
delphia was a severe handicap be-
cause OF his arrival during a heavy
traffic hour. Only two stops were
made during the whole trip. one at
Susquehanna bridge. Columbia. Pa.
where there was a 10 minute delay,
and a short stop for gasoline.
REGARDLESS OF the high speed at
which the car was driven. 81 miles
per hour, only IA IL gallons OF
gasoline were consumed, which is
better than 20 "a miles TO the gal
lon.
Not content with once beating
the stipulated time in the bet. Mr.
Eyler decided 20 repeat the per
Torrance. so after one hour and a
half spent IN Philadelphia, he drove
back 10 Pittsburgh the same day
covering in all 500 miles in 10
hours and SO minutes, with a total
gasoline consumption Of q 1-2 gal
Ions for the round trip. an average
OF 21.S miles per gallon. Not a stop
was made for tire or engine trouble
during the whole trip.
When IL is considered that Mr.
Eyler is SO years old and drove the
return trip almost an after dark
his record OF nearly 90 hours al
most steady driving is remarkable.
The previous one way record over
this route is said to have been nine
hours and IS minutes.

COAL GAS PLANNED AS
AUTO MOTIVE POWER

WASHINGTON. Nov. p. - Of
ficials here are greatly interested in
new plan for conserving gasoline
by substituting coal gas for pro-
polling automobiles and other en-
gines requiring gasoline.
The idea originated abroad. where
such conservation is vital. Details
Of the formula for the substitution
have been sent 10 this country and
the idea promises a speedy develop
ment. Besides the high cost OF gas
olipe, many factors make a substi-
tute desirable.
So successful has the substitute
proved in England, for example,
that charging stations may be found
about every five miles in some parts
OF the country. In view OF this
success much attention is now be-
ing devoted to the development Of
the plan here and abroad.
About $50 cubic feet of coal gas
is required 10 equal a gallon OF
gasoline. For this reason suitable
containers have not been found. The
best arrangement now consists of a
gas bag made Of balloon fabric, fas-
tened to a light wooden rack on top
Of the car. From this a supply pipe
runs down the edge. OF the wind
shield on the carburetOr side OF the
engine and discharges the gas either
directly into the carburetor or into
the intake near the carburetor. A
check valve obviates the danger OF
