FUEL PROBLEM
BIC QUESTION
Difference in Grade Of Gas
cline Has Caused Revo-
luton in Making Cars.

with the Tremendous increase IN
the consumption OF gasoline and the
consequent reduction IN its quality,
the fuel problem is becoming Of
greater Importance every day to the
automobile owner" declared Z. 6.
Perry OF the Lone star Motor com
pany.
TO understand the situation IL IS
necessary to remember that the auto
mobile motor is operated by heat that
il is the expansion Of the hot gases
in the combustion CHAMBER that
moves the piston The problem then
is to extract as many heat units as
possible out Of the fuel that is taken
into the cylinder.
IN the early days this was com
paratively easy as the gasoline sup
piled then was highly volatile and
was easily vaporized into an in
Lammable gas As the demand for
gasoline increased however, the sup
ply nroved insufficient and had to be
supplemented by the addition OF the
heavier oil products which were not
60 easily vaporized-
The result was exactly the same
as though You tried 70 burn heavy
lump coal in a furnace designed eI-
clusively for nut In the automobile

vaDorize properly. Part OF it was
burned. part Of it formed carbon and
fouled the spark plugs While some
leaked past the piston rings into the
oil in the crank case destroying its
iubricating properties.
The outcome has burned out bear
ingE, fouled spark PLUS the forma-
ton OF excessive carbon IN the cylin-
ders. hard starting, waste Of fuel, low
mileage, loss OF power and knock
ing motor To remedy these evils,
engineers resorted to various methods
Of applyi- = heat 10 assist in the Tap-
orizati0u OF the fuel, realizing that
the low grade gasoline available
would supply more heat units than
the high grade f1el and furnish more
power If these Heat units could be
extracted.
sThe result may be seen IN the
Essex
The manifold carrying the car
buretor IS bolted directly to the cyliu-
der block and the inward passages
are given a downward slope from
the carburetor through ths valves
Perfect conditions for starting are
assured since the raw gasoline flow
ing from a choked carburetor must
prime every cylinder in the most et-
fectivs way. The combination OF
gravity flow Of the mixture and the
hot manifold insures perfect oistrinu-
ton and complete combustion OF the
fuel

DROPPING A HINT

A temperance orator was in the habit of holding forth in workman's hall, and was constantly being inter- rupted.
 The next time he lectured in that hall he engaged prize-fighter to sit in the gallery and keep order. He was contrasting the clean content of home life with the squalor of drunk enness.
 "What do we want when we return home from our daily toil?" he asked. "What do we desire to ease our bur dens, to gladden. our hearts, to bring smiles to our lips, and joy to our eyes?"
 As the orator paused for breath the prize-fighter shook his fist at the un- ruly members of the gallery and in a loud undertone whispered:

BRIEF HISTORY OF TORRES,
 WHO KILLED VIC MELTCK

That not all of the flavor of life in Arizona is gleaned from the imagina- ton Of authors of western fiction is evidenced by recent events in Tucson and other cities of the state. Rival ing in action the escapades of the Mexican who "shot up" Tucson the other day is the story of a murder committed in the northern part of tho state.
 A brief news item a few weeks ago announced the release from the state penitentiary of one Simplicio, or Pedro Torres, who had been incarcerated for some minor offense. To those who knew Torres the notice served as a distinct surprise, for although harm- lessly simple minded, when in the hands of the law, the man had twice proven a dangerous character in the locality from which he came.
 Starting in as a petty offender of the law when still very young, Sim plicio had often been the guest of the town marshal, following minor raids on hen roosts, tobacco, and fruit stands, and other tempting things WHICH Tell WlInlH ms Tedcn. however, he was tolerated by the townspeople because of the fact that his parents and other members of the family were hard-working, law-abiding and re- specting people. Graduating into the criminal class two years ago, Torres fortified with mescal and a stolen re- volver, started a brief but brilliant career as highway robber, which ac- counted for his first visit to Flor ence. Through the leniency of his vic tins, petitions were secured which persuaded the governor, then G. w. P. Hunt, to give the man his freedom last spring.
 Returning at once to his home town, Williams, Simplicio remained some- what under cover for few days, then started to renew old acquaintance and former habits. The crisis in this epi- sode was reached one day, when, hav- ing purloined cowboys unguarde1 pony, and the guns that had been left in the saddle, Torres dramatically gal loped down the main street of the

PAYMENT TO HARRIS BY M'GILLEN MAKES
 DEMOCRATS UNEASY

PHOENIX, June 10.-The action of Acting Governor McGillen in approv- ing the claims of Charles w. Harris as adjutant general for the month of May, and of the state auditor, Jesse l.. Boyce, in issuing warrants on such claims has created considerable sur prise in Capitol circles.
 Even Democrats, anxious and will ing to see any action that might em- barrass the governor during his ab- sence from the state, admit that Mo Gillen, in view of all the attending circumstances is playing with fire.
 Foremost among these circum- stances is the fact that the very ques- tion as to whether Charles w. Harris is an adjutant general as he claims, or is just a plain citizen, will depend on the outcome of the injunction pro- ceedings before the superior court of Maricopa county.
 How would Boyce and McGillen feel about it if it should be decided that Harris is no longer adjutant general is the natural question raised on all sides. Would McGillen in that case be solely responsible for the return to the state treasury of the $709.10, which he turned over to MT. Harris; or would Boyce have to share in the responsibility? There are questions freely asked, and which are beginning to put McGillen on the anxious seat, it is said, especially so since Boyce is now out of the state and will not re- turn until the latter part of the month.
 In this connection, too, it is remem- bered that it was similar action on the part of Secretary of State Nit Simms in allowing Harris claims while the governor was away that precipitated the controversy now on between the governor and Harris. All efforts have been made by the court to hold the respective rights of the governor and Harris in abeyance until their respective powers can be deter mined. The action of McGillen is re- garded as totally ignoring this desire, and in the face of all that has gone before he acts exactly as did Simms.
 Of secondary importance is the ethics of the deal. McGillen knew full well that the action of Simms was strongly disapproved by the governor when he learned of it, it is pointed out. Despite this fact he duplicated the performance the minute the gov ernor's back was turned.
 When this view of the situation was presented to McGillen he justified his stand on the ground that he has never received specific instructions from either the governor nor Simms as to what course he should pursue with reference to the approval of Harris claims, should any be presented.
 Had the governor come to me and asked me to take no action in the mat ter, l might have acted differently" |" he said.

are as confusing as the law itself. County attorneys, by whom the pro- posed referendum was initiated, as- sert that justice can not legally try case in which an alleged infrac- tion of the prohibition amendment is involved.
 This contention is based upon the fact that in case of this nature the fine and sentence which may be inn posed upon convicted bootlegger is larger than the justice is empowered to pronounce. As result, they now claim, if the law is not revoked an offender can not be brought to trial.
 The ordinary layman is at loss to understand why this is so, and why a a.justice of the peace can not legally try case of this nature. It is not within the jurisdiction of the justice to pronounce sentence upon the de- fendant, but only possible for him to either dismiss the complaint or hold the prisoner to the superior court, as in case in which felony is in- volved. The classification of Thigh" and 'low" misdemeanors is accepted according to lawyers and the former should follow the same procedure, only the Flow" misdemeanor being settled in the precinct court. This di- vision of misdemeanors made possible the heavier fine and sentence attach ed to the dry amendment, and was taken into consideration at the time that law was framed.
 It is stated that the system is dou- bly expensive. Granting the correct ness of the statements of the prose- cutting officers, it would appear to the disinterested observers that while a number of objections might be ad- vanced against the measure, the big question of expense would hardly be the logical one upon which to base an attack. If a man could not be brought to trial there should be little expense attached to the fact.
 Disregarding the stand that man could not be tried for this offense, the next argument maintains that at a preliminary examination, the state would be compelled to reveal its evil dence. This, the county attorneys contend, would. give the defendant an opportunity to determine the proba- bility of his acquittal, and in the event this appeared doubtful, to skip his bond. If this theory were followed it would anticipate the ultimate discon- tinuance of preliminary hearings in felonies and, in fact, render justice courts highly useless appendage in the realm of jurisprudence.
 The case against the measure in this light appears rather weak. In the first place, it is principle of law that person accused of a crime shall be apprised of the accusation and given an opportunity to prepare a defense which shall determine ex- actly whether he will be compelled to 1 defend his liberty in higher tribunal. l In ordinary criminal procedure this principle is adhered to without varia- tion though in the past it has been the practice to file information against defendants accused of tamper- ing with the liquor regulations in the superior court without the formality of trial in the subordinate court.

JAGS WITHOUT BOOZE

Drunkenness on food" was de- scribed by Dr. A. A. Brill, of the Mt Sinai Hospital staff the other night. He told members and guests of the New York Academy of Medicine that the "raw beef jag" and mixed course spree" may be the rule among the chronic alcoholic victims after July |.
 He presented concrete example in the case of Madame K" When she was denied her accustomed alcoholic stimulants, Doctor Brill said the pa- tient entered a state almost identical to drunkenness by eating the follow ing:
 Four pieces of toast with straw berry jelly.
 Two crullers.
 One boiled egg.
 One roast beef sandwich.
 One pound of almonds.
 Three sliced cucumbers.
 Three nut cakes.
 One pound of chocolate candy.
 Although Madame X" was frail, weighing about ninety pounds, Doc tor Brill said she ate the above food within half hour. Doctor Brill then cited this case to support his asser- tion that ingredients other than alco- hol cause intoxication as in other liquors now sold.
 Another case cited by Doctor Brill was described as the "raw beef jazz" in which he said one patient, depriv- ed of alcohol, received an "intoxicat- ing" feeling after partaking of three pounds of raw beef. Yet another pa tient became drunk" after taking several teaspoonfuls of table salt New York American.
