THERMOSfAT Is GREAT
SAVER OF GASOLINE
Means Economy In Summer as in
Winter-Proyes Success on
Columbia Car.

Every motorlst has heard so much
about saving gasoline In the winter
that the advisabiiity OF saving II in
the summer has been almost over
looked. Yet II Is possible to save
gasoline on even the hottest days OF
summer. especially in starting the
car.
The application OF the thermostat
to the motor car 10 what makes gaso-
line saving in summer time possible.
On the Columbia car. for instance, Is
a powerful thermostat which auto
matically opens and closes the rsdia-
tor shutters with which this car Is
equipped. When the engine 10 cold
the shutters are closed. This cuts
on the air from the engine, which In
turn warns UP more quickly than II
the radiator Is without shutters al
lowing the fan TO send back a fun
stream OF air.
'The beauty of this feature" says
George C. Rice, OF George G. Hlce
Auto. Company, local Columbia dis-
trfbuters. ais its effectiveness In the
winter time. On the coldest days ex-
pensiye hood covers are unnecessary
and the engine warns up very quickly
10 the most efficient running tenn
perature. .
.Srhis efficient running temperature
is about 1S0 degrees, considerably
more than the temperature OF the
hottest days of summer Take the
Fourth OF July, for instance. and let
us suppose that the temperature Is
90. That OF the engine before start
ing would also be about 30, perhaps
a little less. The engine then would
have to be warmed up to $50 degrees.
The more quickly this Is done, the less
the gasoline waste.
"And with the price OF gasoline
going up from time to time every
pint saved Is money in the pocket OF
the car owner. That Is just what the
thermostat and shutters on inc coi-
umbia do--put money In the owner
nocket. even on the hottest days.

OF the Investigations are contained In
the evidence that well ldosigned In
ternal-e combustion motors using alco'
hol or gasoline will consums about an
equal volume OF fuel per unit Of pow
or. The averages OF the minimum
consumption values give "A like nsure
of $40 OF a pint per hour per break
horsepower from gasoline as well as
for alcohol. In this comparison II
Is OF decided interest that the thermal
value OF alcohol Is only 6-lO that OF
gasoline-a fact which explains the
persistence OF the experiments better
than anything else.
Heretofore the obstacles In the
way OF a universal adoption or al
cohol as motor fuel lay In the dit
ficulty OF inding a raw material that
could be secured sufficiently cheap TO
render the making OF alcohol for fuel
less profitable.
"And now come prohibition. mo-
lasses and alcohol in quantities prac-
tically as unlimited as the former
supplies OF that delectable dainty OF
the grog shop-rum.
"In Britain. where gasoline Is much
more expensive than il Is here the
question OF finding a substitute fuel
has recently received renewed atten-
ton. A committee has been appoint
ed which. after exhaustive tests or
the subject. is convinced that alco-
hol as motor fuel has great possibili-
ties and that the by-product OF the
sugar industry and many other sub
stances yielding sugar, starch or cell
luIose will be utilized in this fashion.

ADVISES CARE IN TAKING
OUT AUTO INSURANCE

Prudent motorists by the thou
sands buy insurance to protect them
against contingent liabilities growing
out OF injury TO person or property,
remarks a writer in the American
Motorist. This form OF insurance, he
says, has grown to enormous proper
tions during tho last decade, and some
policies of this kind have proven
grievous disappointment to the hold
ers thereof when put TO a final test.
These disappointments," continues
the writer. "have for the most part
arisen by reason of the interpretatio
placed upon some rider attached to
the policy which was passed over as
unimportant by the motorist at the
time, but which later developed into
a hole OF fair size: large enough in
many instances to require the assist
ance OF a court 10 decide what was
really intended by the words used.
when buying insurance of this
kind, or any other kind for that mat
ter, IL the terms are not perfectly
plain questions should be asked
freely.
"But in asking questions it should
be remembered that any explanation
made by the agent will not be binding
upon the company unless Incorporated
in the policy itself. The agent may
be perfectly honest in his explana-
tion,, or Interpretation, OF clauses in
a policy, yet after all II may amount
to only his opinion, and unless made
a part of the written policy, will be
but the equivalent to the historic
scrap OF paper that has been written
about so voluminously since the sum-
mer OF 1914.
"when the motorist buys insurance
Of this kind, he wants certain kind
of projections; and above all he should
demand a policy framed In such a
manner as to enable him to know,
within q reasonable degree, just what
he is getting for his money, without
having to resort to the courts for an
Interpretation OF the document"

EXAMINE SPRING CLIPS.

II any proof be required or the
necessity OF keeping spring cnps
tight at all times 1t may be found In
the fact that neither dealers nor
manufacturers will replace spring
that is broken through the center
bolt hole-the place where most
springs give way, observes con-
tributor to American Motorist, VINO
goes on to say:
"Breakage OF this nature is taken
as evidence that the spring clips were
not kept tight. The spring clips are
subject to bending in two directions
with the result that excessive strains
are imposed at the weakest point
which in this case is at the bolt hole.
The spring clips should be seated per-
fectly tight by drawing the nuts up
as close as possible with wrench OF
such size that there is no question
OF their being tight. 1t is well also TO
bear in mind that even a nut secured
by a lock washer will ultimately work
Ioose-hence the necessity for looking
over your spring clips now and then"

JIM DUNN and

Islanders Start Series With Bloom.
ers In Hopes Of Reaching
the Top.

We have with us today, Jim Dunn
and his tribe of chesty champions
of the vintage of 1919. They have
come for a three-day visit in Rock
Island. during the course of which
they mingle with the Islanders in
each afternoon at Douglas park,
games to start today and tomorrow
at 3:15 o'clock and on Sunday at 3
o'clock.
At present writing the Dunn men
are leading the other seven clubs
on the circuit by the mater of one
game. A lovely opportunity is thus
presented to the Islanders to dis
lodge them and perhaps assume
the leading role-that is, providing
Rockford is tumbled by Peoria.
II you notice in the percentage
column today, the Tighe men are
resting in third place with seven
won and six lost for a percentage
of .538. This is not SO bad. is it.
Mr.. Fan, for team that had to be
gathered from all parts of the
country and nodded into machine
in the midst of cold, spring wealth
er? Perhaps, also you have noted
that during the present week the
Islanders have been swatting the
old apple in glorious fashion
have scored a lot of runs as re-
suit. Yesterdays 2 to victory
over Evansville was quite a stunt
to perform so early in the season.
Jack Tighe will strive hard to
average the two defeats suffered by
his team at the hands of the Bloom
ers at the start Of the league race
If this is accomplished and then
Rockford, which follows, can be
taken into camp. the team should
rest at the top of the heap. Tighe
is casting about for another pitcher
to take the place of Dougherty in
an effort to bring the staff up to
proper strength. If successful in
landing a good one, just watch the
smoke of the Islanders.
Dougherty was dickering with
Evansville last night and it is like
ly that the big fellow has already
landed another berth.

rounds. but Krips staged a come

able to overcome the lead against

a good left hand to jab away at
Krips' face and early in the fight
he drew the claret.
Kid Napoleon Of Spring Valley
quit after two rounds with George
Cummings of Davenport, claiming
he was not in condition. When a
man is given a chance to show his
wares in a ring, he is expected to
be in shape and Napoleon's lack of
incentive was contrued by the
crowd to be caused by something
else. He flashed forth in the, OPP
ening round and looked pretty
good but Cummings took his time
and by the end If the second had
given Napoleon everything. 1t is
pretty certain the Davenporter
would have scored knockout had
it continued.

Tommy Comiskey started IN the

then he got in the only two good
punches that it can be said met
their target. Comiskey stepped
away and jabbed with his left lead
to the face or swung gracefully in
side of Doig's defense and worked
on the body in systematic manner.
In the infighting he connected with
as many as four and five blows
without a return. Goats was con-

fight. At the end his nose was bad
