AUTOMOBILES MORE
POPULAR THAN STAMPS
Men Who Are Getting Good Wages
Overlook tho Patriotic Investments
offered Them.

Automobiles are more popular with
certain employees. workmen and
aborers in Richmond than liberty
bonds, thrift stamps or war savings
stamps. This fact is brought to light
In letter to the officials at the local
war savings stamps headquarters from
"A manufacturer. In response to the
letter OF the officials asking for the
orga nization of the societies in the
mond This Is also peculiar, in view
OF the fact that employees are getting
better wages now, and are living bet
ter than ever before.
The letter, in part. reads:
We woul say that each of the Of
hcers OF our company and every en-
ploye In the office has invested in
war savings stamps, we believe, to
the extent OF their several abilities,
and our corporation Just a few days
ago invested In $3.50 worth. We are
sorry to say, however. that our men In
the warehouse and laborers about the
place seem to have no idea of saving
anything" Here the communication
describes the situation In detail as
to the financial standing and domestic
conditions Of the employees under fire
and, continuing, declares:
We wish TO say further that the
officers and directors of our corpora
ton are always ready to do what
ever we can for the advancement of
the cause In which we are all SO much
Interested. and we regret we cannot
enlist the sympathy and cooperation
of every man In our employment, but
the facts are as stated above"
The letter has caused quite a bit
OF concern. and special drive will
be made against this class of citizens.

KEROSENE TURNED ;.
into GAS BY AVERY
\
New Invention Enables the Farmer to
Get Power From Common
Coal OIL.

when you were a boy did you ever
wet your fingers and snap them at a
hot stove and watch the drops OF
water Immediately burst into vapor
If you did, then you will readily under
stand the principle OF the Avery gasi-
1er. This wonderful new invention
which is regular equipment on Avery
tractors turns kerosene into gas In
about the same way that those drops
of water vaporized over the hot stove,
, only much more quickly. 1t Is a won
| to be unquestionably one Of the great
est features ever devised for an in
ternal combustion engine operating on
kerosene fuel
Kerosene Is logically the fuel for
farm tractors. Gasoline is too expen-
sive. Nearly all tractor manufactur-
ers recognize this and are making
comm endable efforts to enable their
i customers to operate their machine
! on this fuel. Kerosene has plenty OF
power when properly vaporized, but
their problem has been to keep the
fuel mixture thoroughly vaporized In
the manifold until 1t Is used and to
reduce any of the small particles OF
kerosene that might get by the car
bueretor. or in other words, condense
again into liquid form before being
fred in the cylinder.
This Avery gasifier answers that
problem, The fuel mixture coming
from the carburetor Is whirled around
in the chamber so that the heavier
parts of the mixture are thrown In
contact with the notched wall OF the
gasifier. This wall. being kept at q
high temperature with the exhaust
passing behind 1t, Immediately reduce
~ IL L.
vaporized condition. The mixture
travelling in a circle. naturally throws
these parts to the outside where they
catch on the notches protruding from
the wall.
Vaporizing and using all of the
| kerosene fuel In the combustion Is
important for many reasons. 1t saves
fuel, prevents kerosene from getting
by the pistons into the crank case
and cutting the lubricating oil and
prevents carbon trouble.
The use of this device is big ad.
vantage to the owner of an Avery
tractor. 1t solves his fuel problem
and does away with many of the
other little problems that have to dc
with successful tractor operation.
At the Fremont tractor demonstra.
ton last fall. Avery tractors made g
remarkable demonstration of the use
of kerosene fuel. Each tractor at the
