last week after q months alb
sence. When he reached home

eH his own home nor any OF his
friends.
After Mr.. Bench left Galena on
September 9 no trace of him was
found until Mrs. Bench traced
him to Anderson, Mo-, where he
had left his team. Then a letter
written to a friend of Bench at
Anderson revealed the wherea-
bouts of the man. When Mrs.
Bench found him, he failed to
recognize her. After a couple Of
days, when he became rational,
he told her that he was robbed at
Neosho, Mo-, on the night OF the
10th by three men who took his
money and struck him over the
head with clubs, knocking him
unconscious.

SITUATION
CONTINUES FAVORABLE
Conditions Do Not Warrant Fears
Of Shortage, Bureau Of
Mines Shows.

The gasoline situation continues fav-
orable, according to the latest reports
from the bureau Of mines. and the pro-
duction Of crude oil is such as not to
warrant any fear on the part Of the
fuel. There was q greater movement
of crude oil from field sources during
September than there was during
August During August there was a
total movement Of 21.2s9.089 barrels Of
forty-two gallons per barrel, and dur
ing September this movement was in
creased to 21.412,260 barrels. The
greatest increase was in the Kansas
Oklahoma fields. There was also an
increase in shipment from the gulf
Goa st oil fields and also from tho Rocky
mountain fields. The fields that showed
decrease in crude oil movement were
Illinois, Texas in the north. and CEN
trail parts. Lima-Indiana and the Appa-
lachian fields.
These figures represent tho handling
Of 163 pipe lines. and In all moro than
l61 different companies operating in
the work. and thus represent the ma
jority Of all activities in tho deld.
Production Slowed Up.
Ih0r0 mus O0ou u 6uOEto8O o4 AAUOk
for we'll drilling. and crude production
also has been slowed up for lack OF
casing for the wells. This casing va
ries from nve to twenty inches in d.
ameter. There is considerable activity
in the new pipe lines for delivering
crude from the wells to the refineries
One company Is laying a new pipe line
from Oklahoma to Chicago and an
other company is laying a new pipe
line from the Oklahoma fields to St
Louis. Movement of tank cars by rail-
roads has slowed up Of late in about
the same proportion as all freight
movements have been slowed up.
The production Of casing-head gaso-
line has gone up very much In Okla
homa. The production of crude in the
southeastern part of Kansas is increas-
ing rapidly. There is still very much
refinery capacity. it being estimated
that refneries are not operating at
more than eighty per cent Of capac-
ity.
The stock OF crude petroleum in stor-
age was cut into little during Sep
TENDER. This applies to the stock in
all fields. with the possible exception
Of central and north Texas. where the
storage supply increased during Sep
TENDER.

THE EXPERTS SAY.

II the alignment of the wheels is
found to be incorrect, 1t may be altered
by manipulating the tie rod. This lat
ter is the rod which runs from one
steering knuckle to the other and
which has a movable portion at either
end. Hard steering Is often caused by
misalignment of the front wheels
through an error in the toe In or gath
or and a correction Of this fault will
bring a marked Improvement In the
guidance of the vehicle.
In addition to the toe-in and tilt
given to the wheels. many manufac-
turers of motor vehicles tilt the front
axle or the ends of the axle, known as
the knuckles. This not only makes
for easier steering, but also puts the
greatest part of the load on the strong
est part of the axle. It is frequently
possible in a car the steering system Of
which is deficient in that respect to
improve the steering to a marked de-
gree by fitting the knuckles backward.
This may be accomplished in q rough
and-ready fashion by setting tho front
springs on specially made wooden or
metal tapered seats instead of the
seats that are made integrally with
the front axle. This fitting backward
of the knuckles not only makes for
easier steering, but 1t will be notice.
able that after a turn has been made
the wheels will return to the straight
position almost Of their own accord.

SAYS MUFFLER CUT-OUT
. HAS LONG BEEN OUTLAW
Authority on Subject Lauds Motor
Manufacturers Who Oppose
the Device.

Tho recent action Of the representative
organizations of automobile manufacture
ers. in opposition to the installation Of
mufner cut-outs on cars to be built in
the future merits the respect of all sane
motorists and their hearty cooperation
in the campaign against this noisome
device, declares a motor authority
Tho cut-out has long been an outlaw in
many states and most cities, and many
Of the most advanced car builders have
long ago discontinued its installation,
but cut-outs have been freely offered in
the accessory market, and as they are
readily put on they are found on alto
gether too many cars.
Discussed as Utility.
Many motorists honestly believe that
tho speed and power Of their cars are
increased by its use, and in exceptional
gree. but in general the effect Of the cut
out Is psychological and not physical.
People have become used to associating
noise with the rapid movement of pom
press train-and. unconsciously reversing
the mental connection. assume that with
the big noise goes high speed.
Suggests a Test.
When the cut-out 10 opened on q hill
the operator inagines that his car
climbs It with greater speed and power.
Let the cut-out devotee try fairly the
test Of driving his car up. hill with the
cut-out open and the throttle open to a
certain mark and then with the cut-out
closed and all other conditions the same.
Let him note what the speedometer
says as to the differences in the speed.
The speedometer possesses no imagine
ton and generally gives q disappoint-
out.

WOMEN SHOW GREATEST
: INCREASE IN WORKERS
Pay Rolls Of Detroit Factories Re-
veal Fact That More Females Are
Being Given Employment.

Although there has been a great in
crease in the number of men employed
in factories and workshops in Detroit,
the center Of the automobile industry.
the women SO employed are increasing
almost three times as fast as the men.
according to statistics compiled by
Labor Commissioner Richard H.
Fletcher of Michigan. in factories en-
ploying more than 500 persons.
Comparing the pay rolls Of the fac
tories mentioned as of May. 1915. and
May, 1917, Mr.. Fletcher finds that the
increase in men was almost Z per cent,
while the increase in the number OF
women employed in the same factories
was 17.6 per cent. In 1916 these fac
tories employed $3.50 men and e.02e
women. In 1917 the same factories
employed ss.125 mon and 7.os5 women.
The gain in women Is shown in the
higher positions. In 1916 there was
but one woman supesrriintendent; now
forty-four forewomen: in 1917, sixty
four. Seventeen girls under the age
Of sixteen were employed in 1915;
forty-six in 1917. OF those moro than
1,725 women in onlces. while this year
there were 2.16o. The other women
employed in 1916 numbered 4.242 and
this year 1919.
Increases In Male Workers.
The men employed. numerically
speaking. showed these increases:
Superintendents. twenty-five; foremen,
Sal: boys under sixteen, eighteen; ;
unskilled workers over eighteen years
Of age, 1854. There was q decrease Of
one in the number Of boys between six
teen and eighteen years OF age: a de-
crease Of twelve in men over eighteen
employed in Offices; and a decrease Of
$50 in skilled men over eighteen used
in skilled labor.
Despite this decrease in the latter
line, there was an increase in the ag-
gregate daily wages paid skilled labor,
over eighteen, amounting to $33,o67.43
The unskilled labor received $21,94777
more daily this year than was paid in
1916.
In the total daily wages paid
women all classes show increases For
superintendents the increase 10 1920,
For forewomen. S45.25: girls under SIX
teen. $3.50; over sixteen in ofIicea, 81
1888: women over sixteen, $l.74s10.
The total number Of men and women
employed in the factories A. returned
to the department in 1916 was ss,3sa
and in 1917. 96,220. The total daily
wage for all in 1916 was S28l,o7l. 81

II this is continued too long, however,
another effect is produced which is not
so desirable. All the time the engine is
to the top Of the piston. due to the unusu-
ally strong suction while throttled down.
This effect is the more pronounced IL the
piston rings are faulty or the cylinders
worn out OF round. While the engine is
working normally the oil Is being pushed
down by the force Of the explosion and 10
