SUGAR STEAMERS NEED

Savannah. July 20.-Now that the
Savannah Eugar Refinery has started
operations, with $50 white and colored
laborers employed on payroll of
$1,000 day, Savannah business men
are endeavoring to arrange to ship
freight cargoes back to Cuba on the
sugar steamers which are now ar
irving every eight or ten days laden
with raw sugar for the big refinery.
So far, these steamers have been
shipped back to Cuba empty. They
are chartered on time contracts, and
hence it is essential that they be re-
loaded at once if they reload at all.

j. s. NOT TO TAKE PART
IN THE WAR COUNCIL
invited to Inter-Alied Conference, De-
cides 1t Is Not Necessary to Par
ticipate Now.


Washington, D. c., July 20-The
United States has been officially in
vited by the allied governments to
participate in the inter-allied confer
ence to be held in Paris some time
this month, but has decided that for
the present it will not be necessary
to take part in scuh meetings not di-
rectly axecting this countrys part in
the war.
1t was officiall explained at the
state department that while this course
was to be followed at present, it was
not to be taken as an indication of a
permanent policy.

Bailey Differential Concern
Planning Record Business

A fitting example Of the confidence
felt by larger manufacturers in general
business conditions, despite the war SIT
uation, is found in the activities Of the
Bailey Non-Stall Differcntial Corpora.
tion, of Chicago. Under the genera
managership of j. f.. Duffield, and with
big financial backing, the company is
organizing a selling force Of men OF
long experience and is preparing Tor q
first years production which would
make most creditable showing for
much older concern.
The chief claim to distinction, on
the part Of the Bailey Differential, ac-
cording to its makers, is that it enables
passenger cars, trucks and tractors 70
travel through mud, sand and snow ana
out OF bitches where machines Win
bevel differentials would stall. Ihls
is because the Bailey product gives a
positive drive to both wheels on inc
straightaway and when one wheel gets
into trouble, all Of the power OF the
motor is thrown to TIE other wheel
Neither wheel can travel slower than
the motor and because this type OF dlt'
ferential eliminates spinning, the SKID
ding is greatly reduced.
Among the new men in the executive ',
department of the company Is D. H.
Brooking, who has become district man,
ager for the Chicago, Minneapolis ana
ST. Louis territory. For long time
Brooking was field man for the Stude,
baker corporation in the northwest ana
prior to that he was field man for the
Willys-Overland comruny in the Alger-
ia district. He also had considerable
experience on the coast when he was
connected with Chansler and Lyons.
Eugene r. Johnston has just come
to the Bailey company from the Max
well company where he operated direct
from the factory to the distributors IN

TWO METHODS FOR TESTING OIL

There are two ways to test for oil
one is gradually TO heat Il bottle of oil
until a yellow vapor arises on the sur
face, maintain this heat about Is min
uteS, then let the oil stand about "a
hours. If the oil is of good quality it
will only turn a little darker than orig
inally, but if it is not of good quality
it will turn black, and certain amount
of black sediment will be seen. This is
exactly what happens if such oil is used
in the engine.
Another test is to take an equal
quantity of oil and water and shake
them together in q bottle for about 30
minutes. After standing for "a hours
the good oil will rise to the top of the
water, showing clear line of separa-
tion. A poor oil will have considerable
strip of white fluid between the oil and
the water. and if the oil is of a poor
grade most of the fluid will become this
whitish substance. This test is impor.
tant, because a slight amount of water
might become mixed with any oil and
the oil should be Of good enough quality
to prevent serious damage under these
circumstances.

Aluminium Important
Factor in Auto Making

Aluminium was chemical curiosity
30 or 35 years ago, but its application
to automobile construction, has es.
tablished demand for this lightest Of
all metals that is taxing every pro
ducmg facility.
1t is estimated that 100000 tons of
aluminium were used for all purposes
in 1916, and when it is considered
aluminium is only two and one-half
times as heavy as water this figure
shows a great volume as compared with
the same weight Of other metals
Many places where cheap electrical
power may be had are seeing the con-
struction Of aluminium manufactures,
with some large plants rapidly being
rushed to completion. The successful
use of aluminium in the engine, tenders,
hood, touring body, radiator shell, trans
mission ease and part Of the rear axle,
has made the use of this metal spread
rapidly in the automobile industry,
which is now making very heavy an
nual demand for material that quite
recently was almost unknown III praeu-
cal manufacturing.

Care of Valve Stem
Important Feature

Quite often the motorist finds that
one tire becomes soft and that it is
necessary to initiate it every day or
so, which causes the motorist great
deal of annoyance and Inconvenience
and quite GOTTEN he blames the tir
maker for a poor DSndnct- while this
condition may be due to the fact that
the valve seem In the rupe Is not prop
erly taken care of. A prominent tire
dealer says it may be that the lock nut
at the base of the valve stem is loose
and should be tightened, or 1t may pe
uGe TO loose or worn out valve plum
ger.
By valve plunger is meant the little
-alr check on the inner side of the
valve. The small rubber washers and
hellcate spring arrangements that make
up TINS plungcr become worn from con
tinucd use and allow the air to leak
slowly from the tube.

 To School Officers; The war is bringing to the minds of our people a new appreciation of the problems Of national life and a deeper understand ing of the m ming and aims of de mocracy. Ma ters which heretofore have seemed commonplace and triv- ial are seen il truer light. The urg- ent demand for the production and proper dist, 5ution of food and other national re ;urces has made us aware of the clo dependence of individual on indivi al and nation on nation. The effor' co keep up social and indus trial org lizations in spite of the with drawal C. men for the Army has re- vealed the extent to which modern life has become complex and special ized
 These and other lessons of the war must be learned quickly if we are in- telligently and successfully to defend our institutions. When the war is over we must apply the wisdom we have acquired in purging and enob- ling the life of the world.
 In these vital tasks of acquiring a broader view of human possibilities the common school must have a large part I urge that teachers and other school officers increase materially the time and attention devoted to instruc- tion bearing directly on the problems of community and national life.
 Such plea is in no way foreign to the spirit of American public educat- ion or of existing practices. Nor is it plea for temporary enlargement of the school program appropriate merely to the period of the war It is a plea for a realization in public education of the new emphasis which the war has given to the ideals of de- mocracy and to the broader concept ions of national life
