With the coming of the New Near there will probably be the usual crop of good resolutions made of one kind and another, for it seems to De starting point from which we al ways resolve on making some change in our way of living or oui method of doing things and follow ing this there will no doubt be the usual number of back sliders who believe apparently that d resolution IS made to break and who makes t simply to have something to break.
 During the past two years we have all had a very good lesson il. thrift and economy and it did not take a New Years resolution to make Us conserve and preserve la Dor and materials for as a patriotic duty we saw and did our best along this line and out of this has come not q pessimistic penulious attitude but rather a broader idea of spend ing money with the full sense how ever of getting the most in the way of value for the dollar.
 Money was made 10 spend, as some one has said, and it does us all good as it is kept circulating, but what we nave learned, Wnlcn Will stay with us for some time is the matter of cutting out waste and the New Years Resolution. which Say ing Sam the little Trade Character of the Western Auto Supply Agency, has drawn up for Mr. Every Motor ist and which appears in another part of the paper is along this very line

PREFERS WEST TO EAST

A. l.. Warrington, comptroller of the Chevrolet Motor company of Cali fornia, has returned to his Oakland desk after two weeks in the east, where he visited the various factories in the vast Chevrolet organization.
 MT. Warrington most vivid inn precision is that the east is a wonder full place-to come away from. In spite of having been q dyed in- the wool Gothamite two years ago, the Chevrolet executive is now firmly con- vinced there is no place like the west.

something rather hard to believe. Yet that is exactly the way a little affair between a Norfolk and Western rail- road switch engine and a Republic truck appealed to onlookers.
 Piled high with q load of green oak wood weighing nearly 4.000 pounds. this ton and half Republic was hur- rying along on Princess Anne boule- yard. South Norfolk, Virginia the other day as it had been wont to do many times before. This time, how ever. the driver found a train crew in somewhat of a hurry, too. Both par ties evidently believed they had the right of way The matter came to an issue directly in the middle of the crossing.
 After digging out path for the wheels of the Republic truck leading from the spot where 1t had been tossel by the indignant locomotive, a chain was attached to the front axle and a brother Republic pulled it out of the cinders and onto the road again. The driver, already considerably overdue at his destination, picked up his scat-i tered load, started his motor and gin- gerly resumed his interrupted journey The fact that the switch engine had tossed the Republic full 90 feet along the right of way did little more than slightly discommode the driver. The truck came down on all four wheels, with a bent fender, broken headlights and a slightly sagging front spring as the only visible evidence of it's alter cation with the steam juggernaut Bumpin over the heavy rails and tics did not damage the wheels, aXles or chassis in the least.
 If this had happened in the movies chances are the "fade-out" would show the crippled engine being lowed to the round house for repairs. Such an epi- sode must, however be passed up in this chronicle of a real, not reel, rail- road thrill. Fact is, after considerable manual labor on the part of the en- gineman and his brawny assistant, sufficient mechanicai adjustment was made on the spot to enable the hu- initiated switch engine to limp away under it's own power.

MOTOR TRUCK WINS
 BOUT WITH ENGINE

When the David BelascOs and Oscar Hammersteins of the movies want to liven up a celluloid drama, add the punch that knocks 'em cold" and send them away with goose -pimples and cold chills, they generally reyamp the scenario to permit railroad catastro- phe of some sort. Either two degen- crate locomotives, about one round trip removed from the junk heap, are brought together in a thrilling head-on collision or an "asis' automobile is stalled on the crossing with the usual disassembly that takes place when an ! irresistible force meets an immovable body.
 If the cinematograph artist does douhle-quick with the handle of his machine the speed of the train is greatly accentuated and the hero shows more animation and a keener desire to leave the impending scene of destruction.
 But not all of these dramatic incl dents are the product of the movie inn presario's fertile mind. Many, unfor- tunately, occur from time to time with considerable loss of life and property. i That there could be | humorous angle to a railroad smash-up is, perhaps,

AVOIDING DUST

In driving in regions where dust particularly alkali dust, is the rule rather than the exception, car owners find difficulty from the tendency of the dust to get into the carburetor and clog it so that poor action results. This trouble may even become so acute that the engine will stop. It is possible to obviate this difficulty by taking off the ordinary hot air tube on the carburetor and substituting a lon ger one. carried through the dash, where the air drawn in will be entire lN free from dust

Frequently the hardened shoul- der of the inner race is broken by this operation, because it is intended to withstand wear but not sudden shocks like this.

BRITISH REVEAL
SUB CONSTRUCTION

LONDON, Tuesday, jan IA. - The
admiralty today permitted to be made
public the real story of the submarine
cruisers the British successfully con-
structed at the time the Germans
were boasting of their super-subma-
rine
The British craft have two tunnels
and make twenty-four knots an hour
on the surface under steam power.
They carry from eight to ten torpedo
tubes, two or three four-inch guns and
also are equipped with internal COM
bustion motors for surface cruising.
The batteries for the under-sea power
can be charged from both the steam
and combustion engines and an in
genious scheme has been devised for
quickly dismantling the tunnels for
the purpose of submerging.
The vessels displace two thousand
tons on the surface and 1900 tons
submerged. They are $40 feet long,
have a beam of 26 feet and a cruising
radius Of three thousand miles. They
are designed to be even a match for
torpedo boat destroyers in surface
fighting
1t is also learned that the British
have built submarine carrying a 20
inch gun although the "details of this
craft have not been public. The new
ideas embraced in the construction OF
the craft include the "cushioning" Of
the boat. to withstand the terrific con-
cussion of the gun. This idea is rep
resented unofficially as having been
successful. So far as is known the
new craft was never employe against
any enemy vessel.

ASK INJUNCTION
AGAINST ENFORCING
TELEPHONE RATES

William M. Bailey, manager of the
Richmond Home Telephone company,
said today that he thought the COM
plant for an injunction to prevent
enforcement of the new telephone
rates might result in favorable action
by the postmaster general
There is no way of forcing Mr..
Burleson to change the rates." he
said, "but he may be persuaded to
change his orders when he is informed
Of the complications that will result in
toll line charges. At present there
are twelve toll rates from every town
to every town."
The Indiana Public Service Commits
sion yesterday requested Ele STAINS
bury, attorney general, to prepare a
complaint to cnjoin all the telephone
companies operating in Indiana from
putting in effect the toll charges pro-
posed by Postmaster General Burle-
son to become effective Jan. Fl.
The action was taken by the Indiana
Commission as the result of a confer
ence of the chairmen of the Public
Service Commissions of Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois( Wisconsin, and Michigan
held at Chicago Monday. The confer
euCc WAS Cdlleu ny Tue lilluOlS COIuuiS
sion, and Indiana was represented by
E. l. Lewis, chairman of the Indiana
Public Service Commission. At the
conference it was agreed by the five
state commissions to institute legal
proceedings to enjoin the telephone
companies from charging the pro-
posed federal tolls.
1t was stated by the Indiana COM
mission that the federal management
had announced that the new toll
charges would not affect an increase,
but it has been found, it is said, that
in some cases the increase will be as
much as 20 or 25 per cent.
The commissions take the position
that they have absolute jurisdiction
over the rates charged by telephone
companies within the confines of the
state and that no other agencies have
the right to propose charges without
the approval of the commission. The
position is taken by the Indiana conf
mission that the rates promulgated by
Mr.. Burleson for this reason are lille
