BIG THRIFT RALLY
 FEATURE TONIGHT
Prof. BlakeWell Of Yale to Speak
 at Grammar School

With all the pre1iminaries for the paign complete, the one thing now uppermost with everybody is to make as big a pledge as he thinks he can and then add some. This is not a Red Cross, Knights of Columbus or Y. M. c. A. campaign, where anyone makes an outright gift and says goodbye to his money for a worthy cause but it is a case of making a good investment with the safest re- turn which is possible in this world. It means a patriotism with 8 profit excuse for anyone refusing to aid in this campaign, as $5 War Savings Stamp is within reach of everyone. The great object lesson of this cam paign Is to get people to save their money and to practice thrift, vir- tue, which particularly needs prac ticing by the American people,, who are the most wasteful on the face of the globe. For this reason, besides helping along the war against the Kaiser and his crew, a great deal of good will come to New Britain out of this lesson of thrift and economy. Anyone who has been buying War Savings Stamps, should sign a pledge anyway. If he wishes to get credit for what he has bought already he should write the amount he has pur- chased at the bottom of the card, otherwise the pledge will be counted at it's full face value, and the person held accordingly.
 If citizens of New Britain will fol- low the example set by two of her residents, the War Savings campaign will not halt at the $1,O00,000 mark, but will stop at double that figure George Rachlin, an employe of the Stanley Works, has signif1ed to his employers that he wishes them to take over all his wages between now and January 1, 1918 and buy War

SINISTER THREAT IS
 IMPLIED BY GERMANS
May Attack Hospital Ship Comfort or Which Dr. Lee Is Surgeon If
 It Goes Across.

Germany's disregard for the hu- manitarian spirit and purpose of the Red Cross has been repeatedly shown in the past and it's barbaric ideas of warfare have been demonstrated in repeated attacks on hospitals, asy- lums and undefended steamships but not until now has Germany voiced itself in the press of it's plan to carry on a ruthless and relentless war on hospital ships If the hospital ship "Comfort" on which Lieutenant Com mandcr John A. Lee of this city is in charge as surgeon goes overseas unconvoyed she may expect to be at tackled. Recently press despatches
 carried the news that the "Comfort' flying a Red Cross at it's peak, would
 sail unconvoyed overseas. The Lokal- Anzeiger makes an implied threat
 and makes sinsted inquiry in it's pub
 lication of a few days ago. The ar ticle says:
 we humbly venture to ask the question, what will the Comfort carry
 on her first voyage to Europe, as she will have no sick or wounded aboard |? We greatly fear American flying men,
 and, perhaps, a few dozen airplanes. After the ample experience we have had, in the course of the war. of hospital ships bearing the signs of the Red Cross. the gentlemen of America and their president will per- | haDs not take it amiss if we ask l this question:
 In the past the German govern 1 ment has charged that aViatOrS have l been transported to France under the l guise of belng members of am bulance l units. This probably arose out of 1 the fact that young collegjans on
 voluntary service enlisted when they 1 found the United States in the war
 and they were liable for the draft | The United States and British gov.

INVENTS SEVERAL
 MOTOR ACCESSORIES
E. C. Babcock'S Improvements Cut Down Motoring Expenses

Former Safety Commissioner Ed ward G. Babcock, Of 2S Park place, has about completed a series of in ventions to increase the life and power of an automobile motor and to make the joys of a motorist more pro- nOunced. For more than a year Mr. Babcock has been conducting these experiments for his own satisfaction, and now regards them as a pro- nounced success.
 Among other things, he has per- fected a windshield shade for motor cars which can be used with the top either up Or down. This shade, which is adjustable from the drivers seat, is so arranged that it will cut off the glare of approaching headlights at night, at the same time giving the driver the benefit of the lighted road way. Driving toward the west in the afternoon, the shade likewise shields the operators eyes from the sun glare.
 Another invention of the Park place man is a set of adjustable non- skid chains. These chains are so ar ranged that all wear is constantly taken up and the chains are at all times taut A special tire remover, which works well, and also a tire-car- rier of new design which, by a single move of a small clasp. releases the tire and at the same time gives a base on which to work, are other results of his efforts.
 Increase Motors Power.
 But the most valuable invention that MT. BabcOck has perfected is a, motor atta chment which, he claims, increases the life of a motor 100 per cent. in creases the power 25 per cent. and de- creases the expense 25 per cent To satisfy himself that this invention will work satisfactorily, Mr. Babcock has driven his motor more than 16, 900 miles without taking it down for re- pairs, carbon cleaning or other ad- justments, and finds that 1t runs just as good as new. Like all inventions, this appliance is simplicity itself and consists of mechanical device where by gasoline, oil and water are taken into the motor simultaneously. All motorists know that on a damN night a motor will show much moro pep" than at other times, and Mr Bab- cocks device causes his ca1' to run under exactly these conditions at all times. A proper mixturz of gasoline and special lubricating oil in the gas- oline tank insures the right lubrica- tion for the cylinder walls and at the same time provides the explosive sub stance. Water injected into the car buretor in such a fine spray that 1t instantly vaporizes into steam provides the proper moisture to insure a per- fectly running motor. Not only does this vaporized steam cause the motor to run better, but it likewise cuts out all carbon deposits and keeps the mo- l tor always clean.
