AS a matter of fact, the amount OF
gasoline which will vaporize, will be
exactly the amount which will enter

There is one carburetor; namely,
the one used on the Ford cars, which,
because 1t operates on a different prin-
ciple from most other carburetors, and
because of the great number Of these
cars in use. demands a special expla-
nation.
The Ford carburetor is of the type
known as the Puddle or surface car
buretor. At the higher speeds, how
ever. it is really a spray carburetor.
We learned that the gasoline will
evaporate; that Is, change from a
liquid to gas, at a temperature Of
about 70 degrees, when under atmos-
pheric pressure, but at a much lower
pressure when the pressure is less
than atmospheric, or a vacuum. Thus,
II we had a puddle of gasoline in a
vessel and were to create a vacuum
over the puddle, the gasoline would
vaporize.
II a current of air were to pass over
this puddle at fair rate Of speed.
the tendency to vaporize would be in
creased, partly because of the agita-
ton of the liquid and partly because
Of the friction at the surface OF the

committee left Washington tonight
to renew it's inspection of army fields
in the South and Middle West.
1t was learned, however, the sub
committee has agreed on recommend
ing retention of Benning and Bragg
and that virtually the only dispute
was between the Republican and
Democratic members regarding the
lawfulness of the expenditure of war
appropriations for land purchases OF
these places. Final decision also
has not been made whether Jessup
will be abandoned, the buildings
there being salvaged and the land
sold.
Republican committeeman hold
that Secretary Baker permitted ille-

gram. The expenditures, they say,
were limited to war purposes.
Democratic committeeman, however
refuse to accept the claim of the Re
pub1icans, contending that depart
ment officials acted within their au-
thority.
Final settlement of this question 81
expected to be reached by the COM
mittee during their tour of fields in
the South and Middle West. This
trip, beginning tonight, will last two

may then be included with report

fourteen acres located at Clarendon,
Va, again changed hands last week
when il was sold by Frank p. Fen
wick, Of the Dewey Hotel, to former
CONGRESSMAN J. H. Hill Of Iowa. The
consideration was given as $2O,5OO.
Mr.. Fenwick purchased the prop
erty at the time, he bought the Dewey
Hotel last January. Judge Charles

board, was the former owner.
The property will be occupied BY
Mr.. Hill and his family, but through
an arrangement with Mr.. FenWick
the Dewey Hotel will still be sup
piled with all the dairy and other
products of the farm surrounding the
home.

CHEAPER TOBUY
THAN RENT HOME

An interesting comparison between
ne relative costs Of renting and buy
ing a home is presented in the plans
OF a factory at Niles, Mich, which
announces that il will loan 81 100000
to build 500 homes for workingmen
which the latter. may buy at fair
prices on the installment plan.
Provided that. the entire capital is
applied to the building of these homes
and the purchase of the land. the fair
cost 10 each purchaser would be
about $2,100, and the amount pay
able in ten years, assuming the an
Hual payment to be S21o and the in
terest rate per cent, would be, in
All. $2,T25.
With a tax rate Of. 81 per 800 of
full valuation (S42 a year,, L per
cent for repair 1921 a year,, and Sc
for insurance, the monthly cost of
buying such a home would be ap-
proximately S2s, including every or
6inary cost besides covering the usual
upkeep Of the property. On compile
tion OF the payments the monthly
cost would not exceed 81.
The rental value Of the same prop
erty on the ordinary calculation
would be about $27 a month, figured
oa q basis Of 10 per cent Of the as
sessed value and with actual costs

RISE IN BUILDING
COSTS ESTIMATED

That construction costs arc consid-
erably higher now than before the
war is well known, but heretofore
there has been considerable discus
sion concerning the exact amount OF
the increase during the war.
In an effort to estimate the exact
increase of construction costs, the
Department OF Labor has recently
conducted a study Of the situation In
various parts of the country. with
the cooperation OF the United States
Housing Corporation, a comparison OF
the cost OF a tWo-family wood-frame
and stucco house, as between the
present time and 1915, has been
made, prices prevailing in the neigh
borhood of New York being used in
both instances. This estimate showed
an increase in the cost of construc-
tion for this type OF building Of IS
per cent
An architect in ST. Paul, MINI, has
furnished the cost per cubic yard OF
hospital buildings OF REINFORCED con-
crete construction for each year from
1911 to 1918. These figures were
based on actual buildings. all OF the
same type, all by the same architect
ana the same contractor. Tney show
that. the 1918 building cost was so
per cent more than the 1915 building.
The cost today should be- appreeiably
less than this, with reduced prices
on re-enforcing material and in
creased efficiency OF labor.
The Engineering News Record OF
February 20. published an estimate
on a steel-frame Office building in
the city Of Chicago, showing an in
crease in cost of 81 per cent over
1915. This would be reduced some
what now as consequence OF the
reduced cost of structural steel.
The subject OF increased construc-
tion costs is very important. and the
division OF public works and con-
struction development is now 'inVesti-
eating this phase OF the problem,
with the hope OF having more COM
plete data on it in the near future.
