New Invention Makes Fords
Run "a Miles on Gallon of
Gasoline - Other Cars
Show Proportionate Saw
ingS

A new carburetor which cuts down
the gasolineI consumption of any mo-
tor, including the Ford, and reduces
gasoline bills from one-third to one
half, is the proud achievement of the
Air Friction Carburetor Co, 213 Mad
ison street, Dayton Ohio. This re-
markable invention not only increases
the power of all motors from 30 to
so per cent but enables every one to
run slow on high gear. With it you
can use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power
and more mileage than you now get
from the highest test gasoline. Many
Ford owners say they now get as
high as As to so miles a gallon of
gasoline. So sure are the manufac-
turers of the immense saving their
new carburetor will make that they
offer to send it on 80 days trial to
every car owner. AS it can be put
on or taken off in a few minutes by
anyone, all readers who want to try
it should send their name, address
and make of car to the manufacturer
at once. They also want local agents,
to whom they offer exceptionally
large profits. Write them today.

JOHNSON LEAD
NEBRASKA VOTE

turns from 1856 out of 1,849 precincts

the Republican convention, returns
show the Wood delegate leading by
fairly good margin although figures
are so meager that nothing like a
forecast is possible.

Lexington. Early returns also
showed Governor Samuel R. McKen-
Republican, to be leading his field
with Adam McMullen : in second
place.

didate for governor, is leading his
four opponents.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Exten-

legislation to all men and women
who served in the army, navy or ma

manded by Democrats in the house,
Representative Garner, Texas, Dem

plan of raising the revenue by heavy
levies on war profits instead of u tax
of one-half of one per cent on all

program of Republicans on the house

would limit the aid to about 10000

STRIKERS IN
NEW YORK WILL
RETURN AT ONCE

CHICAGO, April 21.-Striking
railroad men in the Chicago district
refused today to vote on the question
of returning to work.
All efforts of a committee of strike
leaders to obtain action failed.
WASHINGTON, April21-An agree
ment with the railroad brotherhood
unions under which the striking rail-
road wo,,-ersl in the Metropolitan
district of New York will return to
work Immediately was announced
here today by Edward McHugh,
spokesman for the strikers.
Mr.. McHugh said he had aban-
doned the effort to have the case OF
the New York men taken up sepa-
rately by the railroad labor board
and that hisl committee would return
to New York today, leaving their
the regular brotherhoods.
Hearings on the general railroad
wage controversy which failed of ad-
justment by the bipartisan board on
April 1, were continued today before
the railroad labor board with S. w.
Heberlinfl, president of the Switch
mems Union of North America, pre-
senting the demands of that organi-
cation.
Strike leaders who were denied a
hearing by the board yesterday were
in attendance in an effort to obtain
some assurance that a substantial in
crease in pay and reinstatement
without loss of seniority rights would
be awarded the men who have quit
their jobs. Representatives of the
various crafts declared they cannot
go back to their men until they can
take some word from the board.
FREIGHT TRAFFIC. NEARING
NORMAL IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, April 21.-Freight

spokesman for the lines. With pas
senger service virtually normal again
the roads are concentrating efforts
on clearing up the freight tie-up and
hope to be operating normally by the
end of the week, Mr.. Mantell said.
He denied claims of strike leaders
that 70 per cent of the strikers still
were out.
