KEROSENE IN A cARBURET0R

Motorists have realized for some
time that a shortage of gasoline was

UNGUARDED DITCH A MENACE
Causes Many Automobile Accidents,
Says American Highway Assooia-
lion in Recent Rer1rt.

The unguarded ditch at the side OF
the road is growing menace to motor
travel, according to the American
Highway association. Formerly, says
recent report, when roads were used
only by horse-drawn vehicles, the deep
side ditch and the high narrow em-
banzment were not particularly dam
gerous. Between the driver and the
horse there was enough combined in
telligence to avoid accidents at such
places.
But with the advent of the automo-
bile the conditions have changed. If a
cur is forced off the hard road way on
to soft shoulders even the most skillful
driver will sometimes lose control OF 1t.
In such cases there is real danger to
The occupants of the car.

PRICES WILL BE ADv:s NcED
Government Takes Steps TO Do Away
With Labor Troubles Affecting
Materials for War.

An increase In prices for war mate
rails so that manufacturers may grant
wage increases is the policy of the adj
ministration in settling strikes affect
ing the manufacture of war supplies.
This follows the plan used by the la
Dor commission in dealing with the Ari-
IONA copper strikes.
The plan as explained by Secretary
of Labor Wilson rs as follows:
''First, companies and men must ex-
ert their utmost efforts to secure the
highest possible efficiency in the pro-
duction of copper consistent with prop
er discipline and due regard for the
health and safety of the workmen.
Second, the companies will contin-
ue to recognize workmen's grievance
committees previously existing in the
district. Heretofore, however, there
was Il feeling of impotence as to these
committees, because the final say was
with the managers. There is, there
fore, added to the existing scheme rem
edying grievances an appeal to the
United States adminis.-%sar, whose de-
cision is binding upon boz; Ndes.
"Third, unemployment is assured to
all striking workmen without discrim-
ination, except those guilty of seditious
utterances against the United States,
or those who have membership in an
organization which does not recognize
the obligation of contract, or those of
demonstrated unfitness for work.
''In providing for unemployment
here, as in the GlobeMiami district,
the placing of striking workmen is to
be handled as district problem, in
stead of as an individual mine prob
lem. This feature was adopted be-
cause the growing labor shortage
throughout the country requires the
full as well as the regulated use of
all available man power.
Fifth, the impartial and effective
working of the scene is assured by
| the appointment of the United States
administrator, who is to determine all
disputed questions of fact between
the management and the men,"
