REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING

According to unofficial reports In
this city today Richard Maher. the
former policeman who disappeared In
September last and is charged with
being a deserter from the United
States Army, is now at Camp Dix,
Wrightstown. Mayor Ten Broeck
when questioned about the matter this
morning stated that he had not been
officially notified that Maher had been
caught and taken to Camp DIX, but
from knowledge secured through
other sources, he was positive that the
missing man is at this moment at
Wrightstown.
. Information received early this
afternoon by Mayor TenBroeck was
to the effect that Maher had been ar
rested In Lakewood on Friday OF last
week and from there taken to Camp
Dix, where he is now being held. The
arrest of Maiher was performed by
an inspector from the adjutant- gen.
erals Office. Mayor TenBroeck has
not received a word from the adJu-
tant generals Office and declared that
he saw no reason why the capture OF
Maher was not reported officially.
The mayor declared that II he does
not get word officially soon he will
get In touch with the adJutant gener-
ais office and learn the reason.

stated that he knew none of the de-

ice that had formed on the water
during the night. Early risers declare
that the mercury went down IN the

a stiff breeze blowing from the north
west this city and vicinity expert

U. s. SHOULD DEVELOP HER MINOR MINERALS
Rrom Outlook)

MT. Lane, secretary of the interior. recently suggested plan whereby the crying need for ships could in some degree be met. He proposed that our mines of so called minor minerals. especially those the production of winch was essential to the making of munitions of war, be developed to tneir fullest capacity, so that the ships now bringing to our shores some million tons of these minerals be released for taking men and SUD- plies to France. The minerals come from many distant sources-from China, Ceylon, Chile, Spain. Mada- gascar, Australia, Greenland. The import involves long voyages. delays in loading and unloading the bulky materials and the congestion of our ports.
 Chief among our minor minerals is manganese. It is an essential for high grade munition steel Because of the lower grade of our manganese ore, we have been getting more than three-quarters of our supply from abroad, principally from Brazil; the collier Cyclops, supposed to have been lost, was, it is reported loaded with II. Owing to lack of facilities in Bra zll, all the ore has been smelted here Certain Montana companies, have in vested, 1t is said IF millions in ma chinery to develop the manganese supply in that state and they have developed it amazingly. This shows what can be done by private initia- tive with ample means.
 The idea that lies behind the legis- lation now pending in congress. how ever, consequent upon MT. Lanes sug- gestion, is that the government should establish minimum price to encour- age small producers. Similar to the case of manganese is that of chro- mite. of which two- thirds of our supply comes from abroad. Chromite is an alloy for particular forms of steel, such as that going into armor piercing projectiles. Tungsten is used in toughening the steel used in mo- tor car and airplane frames. Our chromium mines in Pennsylvania and our Tungsten mines in Colorado and Arizona may soon be the scenes of greater activity. At puresent we pro- duce only 37 per cent of the chromite needed and 65 per cent of the tung-

MlCHElIN TIRE HINTS Proper Care of Spare Tubes

Cal Messner, local selling agent for the Michelin Tire company, says that the average motorist has learned by experience to take proper care of the mechanism of his car, but he too often neglects his tires. Ordinary care ac- corded spare castings and tubes is good insurance, and will save the motorist both cash and trouble and a few sug- gestions, therefore, regarding the proper care of tires may benefit the reader.
 For example, never carry spare tubes unprotected in the tool box they are almost certain to come in con tact with sharp tools and perhaps greasy rags, or other greasy articles all of which are deadly enemies to rubber.
 Exposure to strong light and varying degrees of temperature is also iniur- ious to rubber, robbing it of it's elas ticity and making it brittle. Always carry spare tubes in the original card board boxes. Jostling is sure to cause tubes to chafe against the more or less rough inner sides of the boxes. even tuaily weakening the tubes by wearing away the rubber. Unused inner tubes are to be stored in the garage they should always be taken from the origi nal boxes and placed in the tube ba gs already described

PACKARD TEST
 ALREADY SHOWS
 GOOD RESULTS

Both owners and drivers who are participating in the Packard Motor Car company's s5.00o truck efficiency tea are already deriving benefits therefrom, though it has been in op- eration only since June l. That a great deal of lasting good will be accom- pllshed by September l, when the test ends, is the opinion of transportation experts who are watching its progress. | One of the first results noted is that drivers everywhere are displaying greater interest in their work, without making their jobs any harder. Not only are they operating their trucks more carefully, but they are keen on getting them loaded and unloaded more quickly.
 Letters received by McArthur Broth CTS recently show that drivers are on edge 10 bring about better results. One driver wrote that he had discovered by little experimenting that he was giv- Il ing his engine too much gosoline as a general rule. By making the proper adjustments he was able to cut down gasoline consumption quite materially He was so proud of what he had achieved that he wrote the factory.
 Owners Deeply Interested Owners of trucks entered in the ef- ficiency test, are taking a deep interest and are doing all they can to en- courage drivers " said A. G. Dulmage of McArthur Brothers. These owners realize that in this test there is a great deal more than the winning of s1,000 reward. They recognize the broad principles behind it-that it gives them an opportunity to help save freight cars for Uncle Sam, and that it will give them a picture of their truck op- erations that will result in permanent economies"

GIVE LAR CARE
 NECESSARY FUR
 PR0PERSERV|CE

The active motoring days are here. Each motorist wants to receive the maximum service from his automobile, and the daily service his car will rem der him depends altogether, aside from the mechanical dependability of his au- tohobile, on the care and attention he gives to the combination of metal he calls his automobile" says Brown Dryer Motor company. Phoenix dealers in Chevrolet automobiles.
 If the owner will start out with the fixed idea that his automobile is a piece of machinery, subject to the same degree of wear and requiring the same watchfulness that you would expect to give a fine watch, dynamo, or steam engine-it is safe to assume that he will bestow on it the care and at tion it deserves.
 At the outset, it is a good idea to remove all sentimental thoughts of your automobile. You may be espec- tally proud of it, or it may mean quite an investment to you, but regardless of that, it's piece of machinery, deaf and dumb. It cannot help itself. It must depend on you for care
 The manufacturers supply with each car complete instructions as to the proper care of their cars. These are written after years of experience both m the manufacture and operation of motor cars, and we urge you, as a duty to your car, to study these care fully. to become familiar with as many of the working parts as possible, and to regularly practice the rules set forth and the motorist will save for himself many embarrassing situations.
 Tt is easy to understand, then, that the service that an automobile will render you will depend on the atten tion it receives. Neglect it and it will show the neglect by causing trouble. Treat it with care and it will treat you we'll"
