TO TELL HOW CHARITY
MONEY is EXPENDED

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 13.-The
people of Illinois, who spend $1,000, 900
a year on their penal and charitable
institutions, are to know how their
mohey is expended. Charles H. Thorne,

vides for cost accounting, showing the

ILLINOIS PLANS TO
FIGHT CHINCH BUGS

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Dec. 13,-Twen-
ty-four Southern Illinois counties, seri-
ously infested with chinch bugs. are
undertaking an organized campaign to
exterminate them, according to H.. e.
Young, secretary of the Illinois Farm
ers' institute.
As a result OF, a meeting at Centralia,
committees were named for each of
the counties, which in turn appointed
subcommittee in townships and school
districts to set about systematic de-
struCtion of the bugs.
Among the most effective means, Mr..
Young stated, is burning of brush
which serves as a place of Information
through the winter months. Grass also
will be burned off the fields in the
counties affected, and next spring,
when the warm weather quickens the
insects into activity. crude oil lines will
he put down to serve as barriers against
further entertainments into districts not
yet touched by the pests.
The ChinCh bug can live through a
temperature of 20 degrees below zero
and come out kicking" said Young.
Chinch bugs travel at the rate of
about 20 miles a year. Young said that
in 1914 damage to Illinois crops in %
counties from the bugs amounted to
S13,0 900, 900.

In Justification. The products Of COM
b~ustion are much cooler than gasoline,
so that the amount Of oil used for
fabrication is reduced as well as the
amount Of water used il the radiator
for cooling.
Figures on tests conducted include,
for example, a 3O5 mile ride on a
motorcycle with side car, first with
gasoline and next with Liberty fuel.
With gasoline the motorcycle made
32.lS miles a gallon and went 76,4 miles
a quart Of oil. With Liberty fuel the

Ion and 1907 miles a quart of oil.

Of 2S6 miles the tests showed with
gasoline 6 l-3 miles a gallon, 63.5 miles
a quart of lubriCating oil and 81 gal
Ions of water needed. With Liberty
fuel the record was 1914 miles a gallon
Of gasoline, 1881 miles a quart Of oil
and 2 gallons of water needed.
In a general way, Capt, Weisgerber
says, he has taken kerosene and re-
moved the paraffius and other ingre-
dents that make it an impOssibility for
fuel for internal combustion engines.
Just what move is then made or what
blending process used is not divulged,
but Capt. Weisgerber states that every
