The motor car demand for gasoline can

on the road, generate more than twice

Germany Uses BenzoIe.
II Is abundantly evident that within
the next decade new fuel must be
found for the motor car. Germany
has demonstrated the possibility OF
driving motor vehicles with benzole,
a by.product obtained In the nanufac-
ture Of coke. But since benzole is not
produced In sufficiently large auantl-
ties and since, moreover, 1t Is required
In the manufacture Of explosives, dyes
and chemicals. II Is not likely to take
the place Of gasoline.
Kerosene must drive the motor car
Of tomorrow. Unfortunately, 1t does
not yaporize so readily as gasoline.
Nor can 1t be efficiently utilized for
road iocomotlon In engines that now
consume gasoline. New feeding de-
Vices must be invented; new, simple
type Of carburetor must be devised /;
new kind OF engine must be created.
All this motor car manufacturers have
foreseen. For many months their re-
search engineers have been at work.

20 cents or more a gallon the kerosene

breeding represented in their pedi-
grees. Efforts should be made to Sc
lect bulls that have the same family
lines in order that line breeding NAV
be practiced when the bulls are ex-
changed. Before the bulls are finally
purchased plenty of time should be
given to selecting the line of breeding
desired.
Although records of production are
of great importance, it is very neces-
sary also that the bulls selected have
plenty of strength, great vigor and
good body conformation. If the men,
bers are not experienced in buying
cattle, it is well to ask the state agri-
cultural college for advice and assist.
ance in making the selection.
In buying bulls special care should
be taken to see that the animals
chosen are healthy and especially that
they are free from the infection al
either tuberculosis or contagious abor-
ton. If possible the bulls should be
purchased from herds accredited by
the bureau Of animal industry as be.
ing free from tuberculosis. A list of
such herds may be obtained from the
bureau. If it is impossible to buy from
an accredited herd purchase from a
breeder who will furnish satisfactory
evidence that the animals have passed
the tuberculin test and have never
reacted to that test.

DAIRY
FACTS
PROPER SELECTION OF BULL
One OF the Most important considera-
tons for improvement of Herd
Look to Records.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Since the use of merltoriOus pure
bred bulls is the means by which mem
beers Of bull association expect to
improve their live stock, one of the
many important considerations is
the selection Of the bulls. Such bulls
improve the herds, and the associa-
ton interest Increases in proportion to
the improvement obtained. On the
other hand, poor bulls cause the in
terest to decrease accordingly. If a
poor dairy bull Is used the milk pro-
duction of the members herds Is great
ly reduced, the interest is lessened,
and these conditions may lead to the
breaking up of the association. IN
fortunately, an excellent dairy bull
can be selected with certainty only
when his daughters records are
known.
Such tried or tested bull can be
depended upon with great certainty to
cause Improvement in the herds in
the bull association. The owner of
a tried bull, however, usually knows
the record of the animals daughters
and rightfully asks a high price for
him. The high cost often makes the
members hesitate to purchase such
bulls for the association, and instead
they buy younger and untried bulls
whose ancestors have made good pro-
duction records. No bulls should be
purchased for an association except
from one of these two classes. Con-
sldering the records of ancestors, the
most important are those of the sire
and dam. In the case of the sire, pro-
duction record is taken as the average
of all his daughters records. Very
often the records of some of the an
cestors are lacking, but every effort
should be made to obtain bulls whose
ancestors in the first two generations
have an average yearly record of at
least 400 pounds of butterfat at ma
turity.
The state agricultural college may
be in position to assist in looking
up pedigrees and records and always

money can be provided for the pur-
pose, it is advisable for the associa-
ton to obtain set of Advanced Regis

and, if possible, a set of breed
registry books of the breed used, both
of which are valuable for reference to
all the members of the association. In

TRACING A LEAK or VALVES
Packing Very Frequently Becomes
Soft and Trouble Follows--Ex-
anime All Baskets.

In overhead valve engines, where
the valves are carried In removable
cages, gaskets are used to give tight
joint when the cage is screwed in
place. This packing very frequently
becomes soft and the result is leak
around the valve, which may be diff
cult to locate unless one is aware of
this likelihood. Similarly in multi
cylinder engines the gaskets used at
the point where the intake manifold
joins the different cylinders should
be carefully examined whenever the
manifold is taken OFF, as leaks are
likely to develop here.

FIRE ALARM WILL
COST ABOUT $4,000

After bills had been passed upon
last night. the City Council again took
up the matter of fire alarm system
for this city. All members of the
council were present except Council
man Ben Loinaz, who is in Carson
City.
A communication from the Came
well Company stated an alarm system
similar to those used in metropolitan
cites could be installed here for the
sum of about $1,000. payable one-third
upon completion, balance in three
years. The system would consist of
fifteen alarm boxes, complete electri-
cal recording system, siren, etc. 1t
would require six months to install
same after order was in. and it would
fulfill the requirements Of the under
writer's and entitle the city to full fire
insurance reduction allowed for such
equipment
Because of insufficient money in the
treasury the councilmen decided to
allow the matter to rest where it is
for the time being. Another objection
to taking action at this time is that
a city election will be held soon and
one member felt he would not like to
assume responsibility for the system
during the last months of his term.
1t is understood a reduction in fire
insurance rates of ten per cent would
not be extraordinary, should the alarm
system be put in, taking into con-
sideration recent requirement of the
combination hose, ladder and chemical
truck 1t is pointed out this reduction
alone would save, in many instances,
more than the amount paid for city
licenses each year.
County division consumed much OF
the councilmen's time last night and
when it came time to discuss the city
budget, which must be complete by
April /, it was decided to recess until
later day to take up the matter, the
time to be set by Mayor Haviland.

TO ELY IS
LONG JAUNT NOW

Miss Millicent l.. Sears, professor of
home economics and head of that de-
pertinent Of the University of Ne
vada, made short visit in Winnie
mucca last Saturday, arriving on No.
5 and continuing her journey to Reno
on No. 19. A small party met her at
dinner at the home of Miss Lena OFT.
Miss Sears. in her capacity of head
of the home economics department of
the university. is also itinerant teach
er. visiting all high and grade schools
in the State where her speciality is
included in the curriculum. Last
week she was on her way home after
a trip which covered the southern
part of the State. AS an illustration
of some of the difficulties in connec-
tion with her work in winter time in
Nevada, the professor said she had
been compelled to travel almost 1000
miles to get from Phoebe to Ely, the
stage road over the mountains being
completely blocked now. Professor
Sears is supposed to cover the State
about three times a year, but some
thing more than one entire trip was
missed this, schol year because of flu
complications.

SULPHUR MINE OPERATION
RESUMED FIRST OF MONTH

After being closed down for six
weeks because of frozen ground. work
was again commenced March on the
property of the Nevada Sulphur Com
pany at Sulphur. Because Of the ma
ture of the sulphur mine it is neces-
sary to stop operation practically
every year during the extremely cold
weather. Superintendent Crowley, who
came in from the mine last night,
says the government has relinquished
control of the mine, assumed during
the war. This is the forty-fifth year
the mine has been in operation, the
sulphur product going principally into
the manufacture of sheep dip.

ORGANIZATION OF
NEVADA STOCKMfN

The Nevada Stock Mems Associa-
tion, which will nave a membership
of about $50, representing 100000, 900
worth Of livestock, was organized
Monday at meeting held In the rooms
Of the Reno Commercial Club which
was attended by sixty Of the most
prominent cattle and sheep men in
the State. The meeting was called
by Governor Boyle for a discussion Of
the question Of Federal control of the
open grazing range Of the State. which
was brought before the Legislature
through resolution introduced by
Mr.. Chandler.
The Governor was not present at
the meeting and Senator T. ]. Bell
presided. Charles A. Norcross, direc-
tor Of university extension work,
spoke at length on the necessity for
some kind of control of Nevada
ranges. which he said were fast being
depleted by not being allowed to lie
idle during any part of the year
Sheep and cattle were allowed to
Craze on all ranges at all times. and
the forage was being killed of rap
idly. making il necessary that some
steps be taken to control the range.
Mr.. Knipp and Mr.. Metcalf, both
connected with the Forest Service,
declared that in every other Western
state the stockmen had an association
with which the Forest Service could
cooperate. and that much good was
accomplished. This led to the forma-
tion of Nevada association. and the

WEDNESDAY Will
SEE END OF FIGHT

County division is the one topic of
conversation. today, but actual news
of the matter is scarce. The Western
Union telegraph Office has been flooded
all day long with kilograms addressed
to legislators in Carson City. the send
ers thus emphasizing their opposition
to division.
Among other things developed today
is an emphatic protest against divi-
sion in the form of a petition. signed
by every person in the vicinity of Sui
phnr, one of the towns included in the
proposed new Pershing county. This
petition will be taken to Carson City
tonight by A. J. Crowley. 1t is but one
of many of like nature which have
been secured in practically every
Humboldt county town.
Following the mass meeting held
here Saturday night, delegations left
for Carson City on Sunday afternoon,
yesterday. this afternoon. and more
will leave tonight, so that tomorrow,
when the division bill again comes be-
fore the assembly, will see q delega-
ton from all sections in Carson City
composed of many powerful men, all
working to defeat passage. Every
point possible, considering the short
time available for the work. has been
covered to defeat the division scheme.

sembly is to again listen to arguments
in the matter.

tomorrow, so far as can be learned
to fight against division, will be: j.
