USE OF MORE
 COKE TO SAVE
 FUEL SHORTAGE

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 4 - Seventy per cent more coke than ever before will be available this year to help solve the fuel shortage. This sup ply will be further increased by the development of tar, coke oven gas and other by-products newly dignified in war time as available fuels. These were some new facts presented to the American Institute of Mining En- gineers in session here today in their effort to hll' some of the country's needs.
 The pulverizing of coal to attain the greatest efficiency was advocated be- fore the mining engineers. Some of the advantages of pulverized coal were stated as follows: The utiliza- ton of every heat unit in the coal, the reduction of labor for handling coal, the maintenance of a constant temperature in the furnace.

Jacob B. Williams, AS, of ATT Broad street, is in St. Vincent's hospital suf- fering from second degree burns about the right side of the body and left arm sustained shortly before 1 o'clock this morning when he came in contact with head lamp on one of the electric engines at the engine house of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad.

 The injured man was given first aid by Dr. Frank E. Gavlas, who respond ed to the call sent into the Elmer gency Hospital and he was immedi- ately rushed to St. Vincent's for further treatment.

 The new ambulance does away with the bulky medical cabinet which took much room just back of the drivers seat. All the interior is now given to the wounded. If the wounded are able to sit up six can sit abreast. If the cases are on stretchers, the seats fold down and the stretchers slide on groves with two wounded lying above and two below. Wood is no longer used for the sides of the anbulances as 1t was easily shattered by shell fire. the wood. All of the old type ambu- lances with their medical cabinet are being made over on the new model at the rate of a dozen day.
 The artillery cars with special equipment of range finders, teles- copes, wireless, etc., and recognizance cars looking like big sightseeing brakes, are also being turned out in large numbers, as these and the signal corps cars are most needed with the fighting on. As the many types of cars are finished. they go into the great open park to join the huge as- semblage of cars of all kinds ready to move forward to the front. It Is an endless procession, with one steady stream of cars coming from the shops and another moving off to the battle line.
 And besides the magnitude of this war work which has suddenly sprung into existence, there is the eager spir- it of a great industrial community which takes as much pride in its part in the war work as the man along the front lines.

DIM FUTURE CALLS
 FUR THE. PLACING
 IF GAR ORDERS NOW

The question of the further curtall- ment of the motor car industry by the war industries board at Washington is in statu quo at the present ume- The present 30 per cent .curtailment period expires July 31, and in ac- cordance with the agreement made between the war industries board and the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the industry must arrive at some conclusion with the war in dustries board for the 1919 season.
 Ed Rudolph believes that if a man intends buying car, Ford or other make, he should place his order just as soon as it is possible for him to do so. The local Ford branch, through very fortunate divertment of a couple of carloads of cars from other agen- cies, are able to make quick deliveries at this particular time.
 Future Very Dim
 When a person thinks of placing an order for car in the very dim future, he should realize that there is going to be a continued heavy drain on the steel resources of the country that is bound to affect the automobile indus try.
 The government demands for steel will be given unquestioned priority. Until these demands are more defl- nitely known, the automobile industry will apply itself to helping to solve the great problem of transportation, which | is directly in it's line.
 Wants Closed Cars The shipment to the local Ford
 branch of the past week includes seven coupelets Ed Rudolph has been en- 1 deavoring in every possible way to ob
 tain more enclosed cars, and considers
 himself exceptionally fortunate in re- ceiving this shipment. His personal experience with a Sedan for the past | four years has convinced him that an
 enclosed car is the most comfortable car for Arizona's climate. It is many | degrees cooler than an open model and is practically free from dust.

FORD CHIEF HERE
 PRAISES RUDOLPH
 BRANCH EFFICIENCY

Bryon L. Graves, Los Angeles mana ger of the Ford Motor company, arrived in town yesterday to inspect the new additions to Ed Rudolph's Phoenix and Glendale Ford garages that are nearing completion. MT. Graves is a strik- ing example of Henry Fords well known hobby of filling the more inn portant executive positions in the Ford company with young men. A man in the middle thirties, he has risen to an enviable position in the automobile field.
 He impresses one as a man full of confidence and determination. and is well known for his ability to size up mans mental ability and character. This is illustrated in the personnel of the Los Angeles branch which is rec ognized among Ford officials as being the most efficient in the entire Ford organization.
 Mir. Graves stated that the Rudolph agency is one of the best conducted and most efficiently handled agencies in the Los Angeles territory, and that the Phoenix building, to the best of his knowledge, is the largest exclusive Ford garage west of Chicago. He was particularly impressed with the steel sash arrangement and the Florentine | Sieioo NiliNil pCi lllllS lut ullllZdLlOn or every available ray of light
 | MT. Graves mentioned that in his in spection of garages he has very often | found that a well constructed build ing would have a poorly arranged stock department, or if the building, the sales and stock departments were arranged in good taste and with judg- ment. he would find that an attempt would be made to economize in shop equipment, with the result that the most vital part of the agency could not be efficiently maintained.
 He is especially pleased that in the local Ford agency he finds most excel lent taste displayed in the fitting up of the sales room, a stock arrangement that would be a credit to the Los An geles branch. and a we'll lighted, well equipped shop that is capable of giv- ing the utmost in Ford service. He believes that in MT. Rudolph he has one of the mos4 progressive agents that is to be found in the entire Los Angeles territory

VALVE TAPPET ADJUSTMENT

There occasionally develops in an engine normally quiet in operation, a tapping or knocking, which is due to maladjustment of one or two of the valve tappets. For quiet operation of the tappets. there must not be severe impact between tappet and valve stem. If the tappet is moving fact before it commences to lift the valve, the i'm pact will be severe and there will be noise The tappet should be adjusted so as very nearly to touch the valve stem. When the engine is hot at the end of a run, the proper time to make adjustments. .the tappet should be ad- justed so that it just touches the valve stem. The valve being hot will not expand any more and W hen the tap pet is adjusted in this way very good results will be obtained.

predicts this will be the most strenu-
Gus year the ivory hunters have ever
had.
Every ball club will have to keep
plugging up holes. during the season."
McAllister said. "Men will be lost in
the army draft right along and the
wise manager and scout must antici-
pate these losses and get men who
may fill in as soon as the regulars are
called.
"What is even more difficult from
our standpoint Is that we cannot go
into the minors and take men in the
draft age, as 1t wouldn't be long until
their places would have to be filed. It
resolves itself Into proposition of get
ting men either over or under the draft
age, and players of this class are either
apt to be too inexperienced for big
league play or too old to be Of much
service.
Another difficulty Is that the minors
are hit as hard as the majors and are
not willing to let loose of players as
readily as In normal years"
