CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to Scoundrels and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York. a
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to its wealth in trees,
urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use Of the dead and dying timber in
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn In their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredoomed to worthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand
This is good advice, and there is a
human moral In the crooked stick part
Of 1t, says an exchange. The same
stress of war times, which led to the
appeal issued to New York farmers
in sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view of the nations af-
fairs the sound and straight will come
to the front. The country can't take
chances with scoundrels. It must cut
crooked sticks out Of the life-and-
death work Of the war, in places Of
authority.

SOLDIERS FIRST, THE RULE
Gallant Warriors Willing to Give
Right of Way to Visitors, but
Plans Are Changed.

1t was a Sunday evening at Ft
Benjamin Harrison and the crowd Of
sisters, mothers, aunts and sight-seers
was waiting at the interurban station
for a car. At last n came. At the
same time a crowd of soldiers with
leave to go to the city arrived. It
was evident that the lone a and Its
small trailer could not carry all the
passengers. The soldiers held a lit
tie consultation, and then suddenly Of
fered to the women the use of the
train. They said they would wait for
another care The train filed with sis
tiers, mothers. aunts and sight-seers left
the little group, and the soldiers were
thanked many times for the favor.
At the siding just east Of town tho
train bearing all these civilians was
stopped and backed on to a switch,
Two minutes later a car loaded with
soldiers passed them on the main track,

VARIATION IN MOTOR FEES
States Lack Uniform Basis for Regis
tration and License charges-Tax
According to Weight.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
1t cost motOr-vehicle owners In the
United States in 1916 an average of
S7.36 per car for registration and IL
cense fees, according to figures COM
piled by the Office of public roads,
United States department of agricul-
ture, in Circular 70, just issued, "Au-
tomobile Registrations, Licenses and
Revenues in the United States, 1916"
New Hampshire secured in 1916 a
gross revenue of $19.67 and Vermont
S19.02 for every motor car, while Min
nesota, where the registration Is for
a ~three-year period, received only
about so cents annually for each a r
In South Carolina and Texas no an
nual registration fees were required.
No well-developed and definite basis
exists for determining in a logical
name the fees to which different
cars shall be subject. In some states
the fee is based on the net weight of
the vehicle; in others, the carrying
capacity, the horse power, or some COM
bination Of these factors is used. Re
quirements for registration or licens-
ing of chauffeurs, owner-operators, and
dealers vary widely. In most states
motor cars are taxed also as personal
property. In Idaho, Iowa, Michigan,
New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania
and Vermont the registration fees are
in lieu of all other taxes.
The tendency recently is to increase
the registration fees required for mo-
tor trucks. usually in proportion to
weight, in view Of the de%teriorating
effects of heavy truck traffic on roads.

really better. 1t is estimated thar oS,-
500 gallons of gasoline are wasted per
day that could readily be saved.
"Leaky carburetors cause losses.
Often one finds his tank nearly empty
in the morning on this account. Form
the habit of shutting off the gasoline
at the tank. 1t is difficult to estimate
the loss from this leakage, but 1t will
generally be conceded that one-half
pint lost in such manner In n week by
each carburetor is low. At this rate,
however, n waste of 31,4O0 gallons per
day is noted.
"In a motor, by judicious regulation
of the gasoline relative to the amount
Of air, greater power and economy of
fuel can be obtained. If but one-tenth
of 1 per ent increase in efficiency is
obtained, 1870 gallons of gasoline will
be saved each day.
"This general warning does not
mean that automobile owners should
lay up their cars, and 1t does not
mean that anyone should change his
mind about purchasing a car, but 1t
does mean that everyone u be
thoughtful and judicious in the use of
them. In other words, If the man with
the car a be impressed with his
duty in the premises, If he can realize
his patriotic duty, and act accordingly,
then there will be no problem, for the
United States is blessed with u WON
derful supply of gasoline"

The Worst WAY.

Back in the dark ages, when the
management of the Erie railroad was
not all that it should have been-the
rolling stock needing more oil and the
common stock less water-a west
bound passenger train jolted into Corn

halted to patch up the engine and
take on such passengers as were in
no hurry and preferred waiting to
walking.

itself in motion an excited individual
came rushing along the platform, drag
ging a heavy carpetbag with n hand

KEEP ALL PUNcTURED TUBES
oId-Fashioned Idea Prevails Among
Some AutoIsts Because They Are
Ignorant Of Repairing.

"The practice Of throwing away a
tube which has been punctured or
blown out is dead wrong" states the
service manager of the Fisk Rubber
company. '"This old-fashioned idea still
prevails among some ~autoists, but it
is only because they fail to under
stand the advancement which has been
made in the science of repairing tubes.
"A good repair man of today can
make good as new an injured tube. I'M
proved repair equipment and greater
skill on the part of the average repair
nan account for this improved grade
of workmanship. Motorists will do well
to send their tubes for repair just as
long as a reliable repairman will ac-
cept them"
