plained? Briefly stated, the use of water results in a gain in thermal or heat efficiency by preventing the usual loss of heat through the water jackets at the beginning of the ex-
 plosion stroke and giving back the heat later on in the stroke when the power on the piston is not so great. The automobile engine is a notorious heat waster, though it is strictly speaking a heat engine and there fore should not waste any heat, or better, as little as possible. Yet fully one third of the heat generated
 (and the heat is power) is lost by being passed to the cooling water. Now when water is sent into the cylinders upon the intake stroke the charge is naturally cooled. On com- precision it is heated and upon ex-
 plosion it is turned into steam, thereby taking away some of the
 tsat which would ordinarily be wasted by passing through the water jacket into the water. Later on in the power stroke when the power on the piston is reduced the steam gives. up it's heat in greater part and thus helps put. more power where it is needed. In other words during the earlier part of the explosion stroke the water prevents heat loss by taking some of the heat into the

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-Announcement was made tonight by Secretary Hey dler of the National Baseball league that an amendment to its constitution would he offered at the spring meeting of the league on February T. to make 1t possible to play double headers any time during the season.
 The constitution at present speci- fically provides that no double headers shall be played on the first visit of a team 10 any city. This rule piles up double headers in midsummer. Accord ing to Secretary Heydler 5S of the 97 double headers played in the National league last season were played during August
 Another amendment would be of ferred to fix a minimum waiver price of S1500 on any player who is pur- chased from a minor league or who is a free agent when signed. Heretofore the president of the league has been asked to fix the waiver price on such a player when rival clubs were unable to agree upon a reasonable price.

NORMAL SCHOOL
 BEATS INDIANS

When the Tempe Normal school basketball team defeated the Indian school team to the tune of 33 to 25 yesterday, the fourteenth victory out of IS games played was earned. The In- dians, although the vfctors of a pre- vious contest with the Normalites, could not withstand the onslaught of yesterdays game. and went down to defeat Since losing two out of three games to the Phoenix Coyotes, the Normal school team has made consid- erable improvement.
 The Normal school have made a total of 5S5 points, against 427 stacked bN the nearest opponent.
 Captain Locking, playing the part of guard, has done a great deal toward the building up of the 1918 team. Coda win and Glenn, a pair of crack for wards, and good all around players, are a real asset to the team. Conway, as brother guard to Locking, makes good his position and has helped the Nor molites win many hard fought game Walton, Auston, Patterson. BOetto and Winkleman are all old standbys and willing to work their hardest for the school
 On the whole, coach and student body alike have been more than pleased with the work of the 1918 basketball team of the Tempe Normal school.

WATER STIMULATES
 GASOLINE ENGINES

Ever since the beginning of the gas engine industry operators have noticed that on damp days and at night when the air is more humid than during the day, the engine runs better and with more power on a given throttle open ing, than it does on a dry day. At first some engineers said that the results were merely psychological and that the humid atmosphere could not cause an increase in power These scientific doubters even offered proofs of the justice of their contentious, which served to convince a good many people, But the real facts are these. Water fed 10 the engine does increase the power. At the same time it has ten dency to reduce carbon deposit and under certain circumstances it is likely to remove deposit of troublesome par ticles. though it can not be said with certainty that it will remove hard carbon.
 It is common practice for operators of kerosene engines to feed water into the combustion chamber not only to reduce the temperature, because kero- sene engines are wont to heat rapidly especially if poorly designed, but also tO get more power by permitting a
 
 hapS the general use of water in kero- senc engines led to the marketing by numerous manufacturers of devices de- signed to feed water or steam to auto mobile engines. In many cases the device consists of a water tank with piping to the inlet manifold above the throttle. There is a suitable control so that the water may be shut off when desired Anyone who has used one of these devices knows that immediately upon turning on the water the engine speeds up, though it is necessary to have the engine hot before turning on the water, otherwise it will slow down or stop. In some types there is a line leading to the radiator filler neck so that moist air can be sucked into the Carburetor
 At any rate, regardless of the type of device, all of those designed to feed water or steam have a beneficial eff feet upon the engine and their use is justified both as a power ipcreaser and carbon preventer How can the action as a power increaser be ex-

RAY IS WINNER

 Ray finished nearly a quarter of . lap ahead of the field J. H.

mixture only to give it up later when the heat is needed in the cylinder. This explanation may be taken as being correct with the theory as to water decomposition wrong. This theory assumes that the water pres ent during the explosion is decom- posed into it's clements, oxygen and hydrogen, and that the presence of oxygen makes it possible for the free carbon to combine with it, thus af- feccting perfect combustion. There is no proof of this, though it may be possible that the water does de- compose to some extent at high pressure and the high temperatures which obtain in automobile engine cylinders.
 However the matter is explained, the fact remains that the use of water is beneficial and the apparent magic which gives the engine more power on damp day, is something real. As to the carbon removing ability of the water, there is some. thing to be said. Surely a caked deposit cannot be removed by water or steam unless by luck. Many own CTS have said that the use of water stopped preignition and knocking and very likely this is true because the water may have removed the small particles of carbon which became in- cadescent and caused preignition which in turn causes the knocking It also is possible for the water to prevent carbon from depositing in any 1 quantity which it would under normal conditions.
 The owner who doubts the ability of the water to increase the power of his engine, should not try tc prove it by pouring a quart or so into the carburetor intake and interfere with carburetion by temporarily stopping the gas flow at the nozzle but he should feed it above the throttle so that the water enters with the mixture.

CAMP DEVENS, Aver, Mass, Feb. 2.-Teaching 30,000 men how to handle their fists in the fashion ap- proved by the late Marquis of Queensberry is the task that the war and navy departments commission on training camp activities has cut out for Battling Levinsky, boxing in structor at the national army can- tonment here.
 Bat" is rapidly putting his work on a systematic basis. Three even- ings each week he calls in the non- commissioned officers who are lead ing the company setting-up exercises and instructs them as to positions and blows. These men in turn inn part their knowledge to the 250 com panies which the camp comprises during the setting-up period the fol- lowing morning.
 According to Bat" boxing is as popular with the soldiers as lolly- pops with a Chicago schoolboy, and that so many informal bouts have been staged at the entrances of bar racks by men overly anxious to see the fistic exhibitions inside, that it has been deemed advisable to hold them in the open air in the future,

HARD ID FIND A SUBSTITUTE FUR
 THIS YOUNG MAN
GOndOn AIail.)

The battle between the farmers and the tribunals for the possession of able-bodied young sons of farmers was illustrated at the last hearing of the 'Bridgewater, Somerset, local tribunal when MT. W. Pain of Kings Farm, near Bridgewater appealed for his son, aged 26. single, class A.
 The farmer has been offered a sub stitute. and in reply gave the follow ing list of qualifications required:
 Ability to lamb 60 ewes.
 Look after 160 sheep.
 Attend to foot-rotting.
 Sheer with a machine. ? Run oil engine and machinery.
 Do minor repairs.
 Drill wheat and roots. 2 Keep the books. i Milk 10 cows twice daily.
 Refrigerate the milk.
 Consign it to London.
 Keep the dairy books.
 Make cider
 Prune apple trees.
 Make and thatch hay and corn ricks.
 Calve 35 to 40 cows.
 Superintend the farm.
 Direct the staff if necessary.
 Work from 5:45 a. m. to 10 p. m. in summer.
 Work all night if necessary in lamb ing and calving season.
 In return for this labor the farm CT suggested that a real substitute for his son would be paid "a little pocket money. besides his keep and clothes" He must also be a sober. honest and a god worker with a good character.
 Major Vans Agnew, the military rep resentative, described this as "an em- ployers idea of what a substitute can and should do," and submitted that If all the employers adopted such an at titude any attempt at substitution would be hopeless. One agricultural member contended that the duties specified were no more than nine out of ten farmers sons ought to do, but another expressed a wholly different view
 The real question at issue between the farmers and the tribunals is: Are the farmers sons doing the work ?' It has often been alleged that when exempted as agricultural workers they spend too much time in the market towns and too little on the farms.
