ssMagnetic'' Ships
All Capital Battle Craft TO Use
Electric Transmission

The announcement by Secretary
ment with electrical propulsion for the
capital fighting ships of our navy
caused no surprise at the headquarters
Of the Owen Magnetic, at Broadway and
Fifty-seventh Street
Ray NJ Owen, who for the past five
years has been turning out cars that
have been equipped with electric trans
mission on the same general principle
as that of the dreadnopght New Mexico.
said that he would have been startled
only if Mr.. Daniels had announced that
it was failure.
"Electric transmission in automo-
biles has just been as successful as
it has now been shown to be in dread
noughts," said Mr.. Owen. "The Owen
Magnetic, too, was an experiment, but
that was five years ago. AS in the
case Of the dreadnought, electric trans
mission gives great flcxibility and eff
flciency to the automobile. The car
travels at d crawl or at moro than mile
a-minute speed by the simplest opera
tion OF one lever on the steering wheel.
magnetic transmission of power on
the seas has thus received a splendid
official commendation by this act of
Joscphus Daniels, Secretary Of the
Navy, in announcing chat hereafter all
capital ships of the United States NAVY
will be electrically driven. The sue
cess attending the performance of tn.
battleship New Mexico, not to say what
has been accomplished by the collier
Jupiter, impellcd the Secretary to
make the announcement. The New
Mexico developed more horsepower
than her contract called for. Secretary
Daniels says that by the adoption Of
the electric drive the battleships of
this country will continue to be super-
ior to those Of any other nation in the

are that, due to cold air and cold metal,
the gasolene drawn through the spray
nozzle is not vaporized to point where
it forms combustible mixture. This
is because OF the condep sation when
the spray of gasolene strikes cold air
and metal. Under normal temperature
conditions it v&porizes readily.
The spray nozzle is a small tube
with tiny aperture in one end, and
needle valve regulates the volume OF
gasolene which can pass through. Gas
olene is fed into the tube from the
float chamber and maintained at
constant level by float and valve.
The gasolene is drawn through tiny
orifice by suction. When the piston
goes down on the suction or intake
stroke partial vacuum is created in
the cylinder, and when the intake valve
opens there is strong suction through
the manifold and gasolene is drawn in
to the mixing chamber, along with air
entering through the air intake.
Normally all the gasolene is vapor-
lied and mixed with air in proper
proportion and we have a combustible
mixture; that is. there is no extra con-
densation because of cold air and cold
metal. When the latter are present,
we have the same vacuum, the same
flow of gasolene and air, but these
component parts do not combine prop
erly and the mixture will not burn.
Sometimes when this condition pre-
walls it may be overcome bv choking
the carburetor - so-called because it
shuts off the air by device operated
from the dash. This allows more gaso-
lene to pass through the spray nozzle
because the force of the suction must
act through the nozzle rather than
the air intake. and usually it gives
sufficient mixture to start the motor.
AS soon as the engine starts it is
very important that the choking de-
vice be opened partially. depending
upon the temperature, until The en-
glne heats up, and then opened fully.
| Otherwise the excess of gasolene will
cause the engine to run sluggishly.
Indeed, it may load up the cylinders
with such rich mixture that the en-
glne will stop presently. This in turn
VIII make it hard to start the engine
again. Do not close the choker again

Get as rnucn air in as possible while
you crank the engine and thus approxi-

Decorations For Auto Show
Buildings Are Tasteful
Expected That Great Gathering of Dealers Will
Mark the Exhibitions in the E'Carden'' and the
S'Sixty-ninth''

What will probably be the largest
convention of automobile dealers from
al! sections of the United States and
many parts of Canada will take place
when the nineteenth annual New York
Automobile Show is on in Madison
Square Garden and the Goth Regiment
Armory, February l to 10. The Ma
tional Automobile Dealers Association,
which is calling this convention to the
end Of greater cooperation among deal
ers and furthering their common in
terests, is receiving the cooperation of
the Automobile Dealers Association Of
New York City, under whose auspices
the show is being held =
Charles M. Brown, president OF the
local association, is chairman OF the
committee which is arranging the big
dealers get-together. The meetings
Will be held in Il suitable place not far
from the Armory and Garden, definite
arrangements not having been con-
cluded IS yet, and will take place dur
ing both sessions of the show-the pas
aengcr car section February ] to and
the commercial section February 10
10 10.
When it was found that the space
in both buildings was inadequate to
accomm odate all of the prospective ex-
tibitors in both the passenger car and
commercial car sections of the show
the show committee &c. about to find
means for arranging more space, and
by this rearrangement space beneath
the balcony in the armory will be
available for accessory exhibits. The
rearrangcment will permit some addi-
tional space for the passenger car sec
ton in the Armory-~about sufficient
for four more exhibitors. This space
in all probability will be contracted for
within the next day or two.
The matter of decorations In both
the Garden and the Armory Is one TO
which considerable thought has been
given Two firms OF interior deco
rators have been retained to make the
setting an attractive one. The adorn-
mept OF the interior Of Madison Square
Garden Is being intrusted TO M. A.
Singer, and Joseph ST. Petric has de-
signed scheme Of decorations for the

Smaller Deliveries of September

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Week-end
evening up on the part of shorts

liveries on September contracts had
been smaller than expected. High

wise to strengthen corn. The

ate upturn all around.
subsequently offerings were
light and the market continued to
harden, except the September de-
livery which developed relative
weakness. The close was unset
tied, q net lower to 31sc advance,
with December 1855 to 126 and
May 1881 to 1885.
Oats showed Independent firm
ness, which was associated more
or less with continued advances in
foreign exchange rates. After

The farm of 80 acres belonging
to the heirs of Franklin Johnson,
deceased, located three and one
half miles west of the Buffalo Prai-
RE store on the county line in Mer-
GER county, was disposed of Thurs
day at public auction for 1902 per
acre. Roy W. Johnson, one of the
heirs of the estate, was the sue
cessful bidder. Colonel E. BOult-

the sale.
A new Aledo sewing club of
young married women held its first
business meeting at the public Ii

HIGH IS
BUILDING HOPE
FOR GRID TEAM
Mercer County Warriors Think
They Have Good Chance to
Trim Rock Island.

Prospects are rosy for a winning
eleven to represent the green and
white Of the Aledo high school on
the gridiron this year.
Since the fair a husky bunch of
pigskin aspirants have been drilled
daily by Acting Coach Hartzel
Kramm. Enough men for the two
teams have reported for practice
and selection of first string men is
proving a difficult proposition con-
sidering the skill shown by the ma
jority.
Beat Rock Island" is the slogan
squirting on the green and white to
added effort in building up a crack
machine. Every attempt will be
made to inveigIe the Islanders into
a scheduled game. Victory this year
will not be the first to come to the
camp of the locals in competition
with Rock Island and Davenport.
Both of these larger schools have
been humbled in times past by the
A H. S.
From this seasons dope the
green and white hope to repeat.
Coach Kramm is busy arranging his
schedule and promises some good
contests for the benefit of Aledo
grid enthusiasts this fall.
Among the men showing greatest
promise is Gourley, quarterback,
Dool, half back, Baldwin, half back,
Moorehead, tackle and backfield
man, Johnson, end, Gibson, tackle
and guard, and Morrow, half back.
These candidates are all veterans
and it is around them as a nucleus
that Coach Kramm expects to build
his machine.

SOME CLAIM THEY
OBSERVED FROST;
ANYHOW IT'S COLD

With the first chill blasts Of Old
Winters breath, overcoats have
made their appearance in Aledo.
The workman who strolled to
work in the early morning in shirt
sleeves and jumper is seen no
more in his summary attire. Now
he hastens along, swinging his
arms, bundled either in a top-coat
or sweater.
Some of Aledo's earliest risers
the last few mornings claim to
have seen frost.
Be that as it may, the straw hat
is stored away, the palm beach laid
aside, while the old reliable B. V.
DIS are being gazed upon in grey,
chill dawn of morn with more or
less doubt.
The tang of fall is in the air. 1t
brings back the era of football,
hunting and nutting-"the days of
real sport"
The farmer is utilizing these
crisp, clear days TO lay in his sup
ply of coal for the winter. Heavily
loaded wagons roll steadily along
the country roads.

TWO SCHOOLS
NOW SERVING
HOT LUNCHES
System Is Success and viii BE
Demonstrated at the Coming
Teachers Institute.

Hot lunch in the country schools
Of Mercer county!
The system, much talked of and
discussed and favored by many in
the county, including the county
superintendent of schools, G. f.
Plat, may become a reality before
the close of the present school
year.
Arrangements have been made
to have a hot lunch specialist, Mss
Mary Pack of the University Vt
Illinois, give a demonstration an
explain the hot lunch plan in de-
tail to county teachers during in
stitute week, Oct 20 to "a.
Last year there was one county
school which established hot lunch
facilities for its pupils. That was
at Carbon high near Viola and the
system was voted a big success.
This year, besides Carbon high,
there is another hamlet. Yesterday
a shower was given to obtain funds
for a set of dishes. The remainder
of the equipment was purchased
by the school board.
Prospects are bright for two
more additions to the hot lunch
ranks within the near future, two
schools in North Henderson town
ship expressing favor for the plan.
In boosting the hot lunch system
as the ideal plan for country.
schools, the Mercer county hcpfs
bureau is prominent. It is Udder
the auspices of this organization
that Miss Pack was secured to
present this subject at teachers
institute.
