LIBERTY FUEL is 0. K.
Tried in Extensive Tests and
Proves Success.
Tractors to AirpIanes, Say
Inventors.

shington.-'Iiberty fuel" the
substitute for gasoline developed by
| Maj. Oliver B. Zimmerman and Capt
e. G. Weisgarber- of the gas and oil
production division of the war depart
ment, has proved it's practicability In
extensive tests in automobiles, motor
cycles, motOrtrucks, tractors, station
airy engines and airplanes.
'The net results" said Major Zim-
norman, Showed that although
checked against every commercial
grade of gasoline in the highest types
of gasoline engines, refined to the linn
1t of engineering knowledge and with
no change in the carbureter, 1t never
theless develops a greater thermal eff
ficiency than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced in
varying grades to meet the require
ments of the several types Of gasoline
motors. Unlike gasoline, which is
largely all of one grade, the new fuel
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles, trucks, tractors, airplane
engines or any other type of gas en-
CINE.
''It will be possible in the future for
person to drive up to a filling sta
ton and secure exactly the grade of
fuel required for his particular ma
chine. This will result in more salts
factory service from every gasoline
machine in the market and give the
motor owner a maximum of efficiency
for minimum of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding it's fu-
ture possibilities.
For obvious reasons Major thinner
man and Captain Weisgarber are not
disposed to make public the formula
for Liberty fuel" Its base is kerO-
sene and some Of the other materials
used are said to be a drug on the
market at present.
Major Zimmerman states that mo-
tors using this fuel start more easily
than with ordinary gasoline. that the
fuel explodes at temperatures even
below zero, the mileage per gallon
Is greater and it is safe against prema- |
.ure explosions.

EMULATES H0RATIUS OF OLD
Chaplain Holds the Bridge "a Braveiy
as Did the Roman
Captain.

Cleveland, O.-"Horatius at the
Bridge" had nothing on Rev. James M.
Hanley Of Cleveland, chaplain Of reg
iment in France. According to stories
drifting back from the front, the chap
lain was wounded while holding
bridge the Huns sought to take. AS 1t
is related here by friends of the for
mer priest, a captain and few sol
diers were detailed to hold the bridge
against heavy odds. The captain said
it couldn't be done without more men.
"Why, l can hold that bridge with a
club" Hanley Is said to have declared.
'"Then do it," the captain answered
as he hurried off for re-enforcements.
The soldiers, inspired by the action
of the chaplain, rallied around him and
held the contested bridge until the
captain returned with more men and
made the bridge safe.

district of Alaska, before the rich
Nome beaches were discovered.

the cleanest money extant in that 1t
makes no other man poorer, and yet

STRONG FOR MASCOTS
Yank Soldiers Even adopt"
French Youths.
Douqhboys' Pets Range In Variety
From Canary Birds TO
Donkeys.

Paris.-The American soldiers we'll
known penchant for mascots, as exem-
plified during the last year by the i'm
portation into France of an 1nnumer-
able variety of pets ranging from
canary birds to donkeys, reached Its
zenith on this side of the water-and
almost got him into trouble.
For several months French boys
were reported missing from their
homes and from public orphanages.
Investigation disclosed that most Of
these boys, ranging in ages usually
from ten to fifteen, were the masc0ts
of units of American soldiers. They
were found, comfortably established
in American barracks, living with the
soldiers and receiving the considera-
ton and regalement which BELTS the
official mascot Of company of les
Americanes." The practice started
when a few units annexed homeless
French boys who happened around
their camp. But the life was too at
tractive to be confined to the home
less, and other French youths, living
with their parents or provided for in
orphanages, deserted these homes to
become American soldiers proteges.
At one aviation instruction center
ten boys were found, each supported
by an aviation squadron, which, by
way of tailor-made uniforms and
other means, was trying to Guido the
other in caring for their mascot. Most
of these boys were going to school
but-they were smoking cigarettes,
and the kind of English they were
learning wasn't of the parlor variety.
General Pershing issued an order
prohibiting the adoption" Of more
boys and requiring that all those be-
ing maintained as mascOts be returned
to their homes.
