Damage From Fires.

This is the time of year when great
caution should be. exercised to prevent
fires. Ninety per cent of all fires are
caused by carelessness. such as chill
dren playing with matches, cigarettes
or cigar butts thrown into infiammable
materials, defective fues, stovepipes
or heating apparatus. Many career
has been ruined by fire that could
have been prevented by a little eau

All fires are waste.
Never relax in your watchfulness in

from some trivial cause and could

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Much remains to be done in rural
districts, according to the annual re-
port Of the secretary Of agriculture, to
control such pests as mosquitoes and
the hookworm, to eliminate the
sources Of typhoid fever, and, even
more, to give the country districts the
advantage Of modern hospitals, nurs-
Ing and specialized medical practice.
Noting that many agencies, some of
them private enterprises with large
funds, are working for Improvement,
the report says that the department Of
agriculture, through it's home demon
stration service, is giving valuable aid.
and the public-health service is in
creasingly extending it's functions.
To what extent the further prOjec-
ton Of effort is a matter for state
or local action remains to be deter
mined, says the secretary, but 1t
seems clear that there should. be no
cessation Of activities until there has
been completed in every rural COM

sion of adequate machinery, steps
taken. to control and eliminate the
sources Of disease and to provide the

AUTOMOBILE STUCK I'M MUD
Instead Of Jamming Down AcceIerator
Shift Into Low and Give Wheels y
Chance to Catch.

1t is natural impulse when the
car stalls in soft going to jam down
the accelerator to get all possible pow
er.from the motor. But if the car has
stalled because the rear wheels cannot
tdke hold in soft mud and are slipping
around, this is not the best way out.
The whirling wheels simply dig down
deeper. 1t is better, after shifting into
low, to let the motor run at COMPARE
lively low speed and edge the clutch in
gently. This will give the rear wheels
better chance to take hold Often
one can get out better under these con-
ditions if there is load in the rear
seat.
If the wheels continue to slip at
slow speed, it becomes necessary to tie
ropes about the rear wheels or to
throw straw or brush under them.
With light car one can often help it
forward by placing one end Of a stout
plank or pole under the rear axle and
with the leverage thus. gained lift it
forward while another applies the
power slowly. Milestones.

She was q surgeon in the Civil war,
and a congressional medal of honor
was awarded her. She gained consid-

Doctor Walker led a picturesque ca

for feminine dress reform and wom-
ans right to political suffrage, In
which movement she was q pioneer.
She claimed to be the first American
woman to attempt to cast ballot at
an election. She adopted male attire
during the war and continued to wear
it-a black frock coat, trousers and a
high silk hat--and she carried a cane.

Truly Peculiar Request.

Some years ago there died in Mon
treal a .wealthy old Scotsman who had
been noted for his shrewdness in bust
ness matters. One Of the requests in
his long will was hairbrush that he
had used for many years. This hair
brush he gave to his nephew, with the
proviso that the said brush should be
kept in the family vault two months
out of twelve.
During the brush's sojourn in the
vault the legatee was not to brush,
comb or cut his hair. The acceptance
of the brush meant that the nephew
was to inherit and enjoy two-thirds OF
the estate, and we have not the slight
est doubt that this fortunate young
man willingly became "shock-head.

Simply attach the cutting machine to
the automobile, and let the car pull
the cutter across the Ice.
Lest the car skid on the slippery
ice, the two back tires should be re-
moved and iron rims with spikes on
them substituted. AS an extra precau-
ton, put chains on your front wheels.
One man runs the automobile and
the other guides the machine. If your
friend is good natured, let him trot be-
hind with the cutter handle in his
hand. If he is not, do it yourself and
let him run the car.
Provided one has the facilities, it is
quite possible for two men, one au-
tomobile, and cutting machine to do
the work of many ice cutters.-Pop-

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

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 a 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.

which completely wrecked the power
plant of the Mobile Electric Light COM
pany. The body of the dead man is
pinned beneath a boiler and has not
been identified. The explosion, which
occurred late last night, was followed
by a fire. which wiped out the plant.
The loss is estimated at 100000. AS
a result of the explosion and fire,
scores of industries which depend upon
the plant for power are idle.

new AUTOMOBILE
FUEL is Wanted
Something Must Be Found Within
the Next Twenty Years to
Supplant Gasoline.
SUPPLY NEARLY EXHAUSTED
Germany Has Demonstrated PossibiI.
ity Of Driving Motor Vehicles With
Benzole-New carburetor Must
Be Devised.

At the present rate of consumption
the motor. car demand for gasoline can
hardly be supplied for another 20
years.
When we think of power we are apt
to think of steam engines and of coal
shoveled by grimy stokers into fiery
furnaces. Few realize that our gaso-
line engines, those that are used on
the farm and on the water as well as
on the, road, generate more than twice
the power of all our steam plants. Our
pleasure cars alone drive us through
the country at staggering total ex-
penditure of S5,OO0,Oo0 horse power.
If all the gasoline engines in the coun-
try were to run every day for only
ten hours day, our gasoline supply
would be exhausted in a month.
Germany Uses Benzcle.
It 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 manufac-
ture of coke. But since benzole is not
produced in sufficiently large quanti-
ties and since, moreover, it is required
in the manufacture of explosives, dyes
and chemicals, it is not likely to take
the place of gasoline.
Kerosene must drive the motor car
of tomorrow. Unfortunately, it does
not vaporize so readily as gasoline.
Nor can 1t be efficiently utilized for
road locomotion in engines that now
consume gasoline. New feeding de-
vices must be invented; new, simple
type of carburetor must be devised ];
a 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.
When the price of gasoline reaches
go cents or more a gallon the kerosene
motor car will appear.
Crude Oil Dwindling.
Since the crude oil supply Of the
world is steadily dwindling, the inven-
ton of satisfactory kerosene engine
must inevitably prove but makeshift
which will tide us over for d decade or
two. What then? Either the alcohol
engine or the electric storage battery
will be intensively developed for me-
chanical propulsion.
