they will proceed to New Orleans.
The start up the river will be made
early in May and the trip will extend
to St Louis AMI also include tributar-
les OF the Mississippi. The itinerary,
now being laid out, includes the visit
to all of the cities and towns on
either banks of the river.
Destroyer, submarine and chasers
will carry war equipment The Des-
troyer will have ~" gun and depth
charges. The submarine will be pre-
pared to submerge. All of the ships
will be illuminated at night both when
at anchor and afoat. One of the
chasers will go in advance of the
hotilla and will be in communication
by radio and wireless phone" with
the other ships. This chaser will be
used by Lieutenant Commander
Wells Hawks, u. S. N. r. F., who
has been ordered to precede the fot-
lila and make all advance arrange
ments.
Already cities and towns along the
river are preparing to receive and en-
terrain the Aoatilla and it's men. The
ships will be prepared to return the
courtesy. The personnel will include
the band from the u. s. S. Recruit,
the land ship in Union Square, New
York, a vocal quartette and instru-
mentalists from one of the Navy
Training Stations, a. crack baseball
team of sailor players, and projecting
machines for showing motion pictures
of Navy activities at home and "a
broad Flights will be made by the
flying boats.
The Navy Department intends that
everybody in the Mississippi Valley
shall see the fotilla and SO that all
may be reached men on motor cycles
will post announcements in all the
villages and nearby counties Access
sible to the river ports. II is propos-
ed to make the most comprehensive
showing ever sent out by the Navy
Department.

HERE'S WAY TO
:, CUT GAS BILLS
Carburetor Is Frequent
Cause Of Shrinking
-. Mileage.

= Every car owner likes to keep his
expenses as low as he reasonably
can and it is really surprising to
what small figure the costs can
be cut by consistent saving. This
q Is as II should be. for motoring in
America is distinctly a democratic
sport and we want to keep II so.
"a aherefore any suggestions for keep
81 ing down the expense bills are quite
In keeping with what we may call
our national motoring ideals. In the
present article we purpose trying to
SleII the car owner how he may cut
on something from his fuel bill
Let US begin by saying that the
oills for gasolene and tires are the
TWO big items in the outlay for
keeping the car running. They are
then the obvious first points of at
lack in any attempt to cut down ex-
Pe2ses- Further. it is the duty of
all car owners to make their fuel
z" as far as possible. because our
supply OF petroleum is barely
enough for our demands now with
stIl heavier consumption in pros
pect
The first place to begin the cam
palEn to cut down fuel consumption
Is at the carbureter. Here occur
most OF the leaks that increase fuel
consumption The average Ameri-
can car owner drives with a mix
ture nearly twice as rich as is nee
essary. In other words almost half
the EasOlene that he uses is wasted.
The modern engine will run on a
mixture ranging from about four
teen parts air to one Of gasoIene
TO one containing only eight parts
air to one OF gas.
But the engine will do its best
work when the mixture is made as
lean as possible. While It burns
the heavier mixture II does not
operate with the snap and vim that
Il displays on the leanpr fuel
Practically all modern carbure-
ters have an attachment for in
crHaSlnS and decreasing the amount
90 air injected into the mixture. 1t
Is very simple matter to expert
ment with this adjustment. first
making the mixture as lean as pos
sIOle and gradually turning back
until exactly the right proportions
OF gas to air have been found for
satisfactory operation. In addition
TO tho benefits of greater economy
with the Ieaner mixture this condi-
tion also cuts down carbon de-
pOsits.
1t NAV seem to the individual car
owner that IL is q very small mat
ter whether or not he uses too rich
mixture, but il is the aggregate
OF this wastaEe that counts The
individuals waste must be multi
piled by nearly 100000 to get the
total amount Of motor fuel that Is
practically thrown away. II all

this potentially useful fuel were
turned into actual service, instead
OF having our fuel supply an alarm
insly tight fit for our needs, we
would have handsome surplus to
take care OF the rapidly growing
numbers OF motor vehicles
However. the carbureter is not
the end of the search for possible
fuel leaks. After the carbureter
has been properly adjusted to sup
ply the leanest mixture consonant
with good operation, the whole fuel
system ought to be gone over from
engine to tank. Foreign matter
partially obstructing the pipes. or
lodged In the strainers, or In the
fuel tank, helps to cut down the
etictency OF the whole system. A
rigid search for leaks should be
Instituted Small leaks are pecu-
ltarly liable to escape notice in
warm weather. when the gasolene
Is lighter than in winter and quick
ly eyaporates after escaping into
the air. Obviously. actual leakage
OF the fuel is one OF the best pos
sible ways to increase consumption.
An actual physical leakage OF the
fuel is only a little worse than
power leaks OF various sorts. Vast
ed power inevitably means addi-
tional fuel to make good the deti-
cheney. Carbon deposits in the
cylinders are a prolific source of
wasted power. And here Is a place
where one original waste breeds
further wastage. When the fuel
mixture is too rich, heavy carbon
deposits are formed in the cylinders
and these cut down the power out
put-almost geometrical pro-
gression. Therefore. keep the en-
gine free from carbon by havizy
IL cleaned out periodically and help
along the good cause by getting
proper carbureter adjustment in the
first place.
Another source OF great power waste
is the valve system. The valves must
seat properly IL full power Is to be OBJ
tained from the fuel. The only way to
secure proper valve seating Is to have

two or three months, or when there,
appears to be need Of the operation.
At the present time we are not get
ting the same zippy grades OF motor
fuel that we once did, and with this
heavier stuff 1t is vitality necessary
that certain amount of heat should
be applied TO the fuel. There are many
ways Of doing this. heated manitoIds,
hot spotss etc. and every car needs
some such equipment. Many of the new
cars are so equipped by their builders.
but II not, owners should add the
equipment
Good carsuretion is the beginning of
the battle. but as we mentioned before
1t Is not ALL The Ignition must<also be
good or there will be prodigious vast
age of power. The battery must be
kept fully charged, the connections at
the plugs. the ignition unit and the
coil must be kept clean and tight to
insure a good hot spark in the COM
bustion chamber.
The points cited cover the major
points OF fuel waste, but there are
other indirect power wastes that have
their effect on fuel consumption. II
the lubrication Of the car is not prop
erly carried out, friction results; and
friction requires power to overcome
II. which Is just another way OF say
ing that II wastes power. A slipping
clutch wastes an enormous amount OF
power. Dragging brakes waste pow
er, and wheels that are out OF align
ment also consume power that could
be turned to useful purposes. So 1t
| follows that the car which really
consumes only its minimum allotment
OF fuel is the car which is properly
/ looked after throughout all its me-
chanical being.
In conclusion let US warn the car
owner against wasting gasolene in
his garage. Many owners have a.
habit Of washing small parts In gaso-
Iene, whereas kerosene would be bet
ter for the purpose and 1t costs less.
Many cars wfll run with entire eff
cheney on a mixture OF one gallon of
kerosene to. say, four gallons of gas

Teachers Examination.

Jasper, Nov. 28.-Under the
uniform state teachers examina-
ton law an examination Of the
teachers of Marion wishing to
teach will be held at Jasper Jan.
2 and 8, 1920, under direction of
D. A. Tate, county superintend-
ent. The examination will in
clude high school groups of stud
les as well as elementary. Under
the law a person cannot secure
even a temporary certificate of
qualifications for teacher without
such an examination, and since
there are abundant openings for
those desiring to take up the
profession of teaching, not only
in Marion, but also in the schools
elsewhere in the state. there will
be large attendance.
