Waste of Fuel.

This bubble formation of the gaso-

waste of fuel, 1t also adds to the
tendency Of the motor to make carbon.
The steam carburetor shoots hot,
live steam into the manifold Just
above the carburetor proper, and this
steam eliminates the bubble formation
of gasoline and converts all the gas

Merely Mikes Gas With Air.

These laboratory tests, made byl
Ames engineers, established that the
carburetor does not vaporize the gaso-
line. All it does is mix the gasoline
with air. This mixture then passes
into the intake manifold.
In the center of this stream as ii
passes into the manifold the engineers
observed Sluish, cloud-like vapor,
while to each side of this was gaso-
line In sprayed form.
The gasoline sprays at each side of
the blue vapor cloud were drawn to-
ward the cylinders by the suction Of
the motor. AS they passed in they
presently struck against the wall Of
the intake manifold. At this point
the sprays turned into tiny gIobules
Of gasoline or air-in other words,
into bubbles. These bubbles clung to
the wall of the manifold, finally being
drawn into the explosion chambers in
that form.

ENGINE FOREVER
BLOWS BUBBLES
Not Condensation Of Gas, as
Owner Thinks, but Lack of
Vaporization.
LABORATORY TESTS At AMES
Established That Carburetor Does Not
Vaporize Gasoline, but Mixes 1t
With Air-Adds to Tendency Of
Engine to Make Carbon.

If the mOtOrcar owner could watch
the flow of gasoline from the carbure-
tor into the intake manifold, he would
discover that his car, as one OF the
ditties of the day harmOnizes it, is
forever blowing bubbles" He would
find that what he thinks is condensa-
ton of gasoline is not condensation at
all, but lack of vaporization.
The steam carburetOr has vital re-
lation to this blowing of bubbles In
the gasoline intake manifold, and 1t en-
abes the intake manifold to accom-
plish a complete vapOrization of the
gasoline, eliminating what the owner
thinks is condensation of gasoline.
The steam carburetor, put to test at
Ames, Ia, agricultural college, re-
vealed there seemingly is no such ac-
ton as condensation of gasoline in the
intake manifold.

FROM A CLONE SCOUT"

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
Will you please give the Lone Scouts
of Cadron Valley write-up in the
Log Cabin Democrat, as | want all
boys all over Arkansas to know of
this great organization, the Lone
Scouts of America We have a tribe
here at Cadron Valley, consisting of
tivfie boys who belong to the Lone
Scouts of America. We go on hikes
and stay over night, sometimes two
or three nights, and we sure have a
good time.
But first, left me give a description
of the Lone Scout organization. 1t
was founded by W. O. Boyce of Chi
cago, Ill. Mr. Boyce first started the
Boy Scout movement but while he was
away in some foreign county the Boy
Scouts had gone to the trouble of buy
ing equipment and uniforms, etc.
Mr.. Boyce found this was not good
idea, so he founded the Lone Scout
movement. By Lone Scout that
means that boy can join the Lone
Scouts and form tribe or he can
be a scout all by himself, hence the
word Lone, the motto of the Lore
Scout, and full description of the
Lone Scout movement will be given
to all boys of Faulkner county who
send me five cents in stamps to pay
postage.
All you Faulkner county boys JON
us and don't miss any more Of those
good times. For further information
write me with five cents in one
cent stamps and | will forward you
a Lone Scout magazine and let YOU
decide Cleveland Posey.

URGES SUPPORT OF
l2-MILL SCHOOL TAX
SAYS MAXIMUM is NEEDED
County Examiner Parsons Points tc
Importance of Maintaining
Faulkner Schools.

To the Friends of Education il
Faulkner County:
Permit me to call your attention
to the importance of going to the polls
Saturday, May 16, and voting the
maximum tax rate 1t is highly i'm
portant both to the future of our
civilization and to the children of our
country, incidentally that our girls and
boys in so far as possible have equal
opportunities of success in life. If
we hold our schools up to a stand
ard we must have the best teachers.
And if we get the service of the best
teachers we must pay better salaries.
Let me quote from the report made
by the national secretary of education
to the presidents industrial confer
ence in March, 1920:
There is everywhere a shortage
of teachers. An inquiry made by the
bureau of education showed that in
January, 1920, more than $4,000
public schools of the country were
then vacant because the teachers to
them could not be had. Over $4,000
positions are filled in order that they
may be filled at all, by teachers whose
qualifications are below the minum-
mum standard of requirement in the
several states. 1t is the estimate of
the commissioner of education that
more than 100000 of the $4,000
school teachers of the country are to-
day below any reasonable minimum
standard of qualifications Many of
those who remain in our schools re-
celve less pay than common laborers,
despite the long years of preparation
for their profession that they have
undertaken. This situation is a ma
tlonal menace. 1t is useless to talk
of Americanization and of the domini-
ton of illiteracy and other national
educational problems, unless it is
faced at once"
With the above quotation before US
our duty to our children it seems
to me IS very plain.

MEXICO MAY CAUSE

Washington, May 11.-Gasoline

today. While importations of Mexican

DO not put that by the fence, put it out

you are going to have more, set out
in rows four and one half feet apart.
The dryer the weather the oftener

Where convenient, every woman
should have one-fourth acre to make
her own money. There is just as
much money shipping by express as in

shipping by express is lots of trouble.
If you are not going to give your
personal attention to your plants, do
not put them out. Be careful about
using fertilizer of any kind Berries

Fashion Notes.

One-piece frocks with wrapped
capes are considered more fashionable
than coats and skirts.
America stresses the coat suit and
adds inches to the length of the
jackets, but does not lengthen the
skirts.
Evening gowns are longer in
France and shorter in America. They
are made of metal tissues, in apri :
cot, nasturtium in black velvet. An
immense quantity of jet pa1llettes are
used.
A few powerful designers widen the
new skirts. Poiret. Lanvin and Worth
sponsor extra width. The styles OF
1870 are the inspiration for gathered
skirts, trimmed with rows of narrow
blue ribbon.
The high collar and the long sleeve
make their appearance. France has

| You remember that Farmer Browns
Boy left that Bee-tree in the Green
Forest in quite as much of hurry
as had Buster Bear and in just such
la blind way. He, too, bumped into
itrees and stumbled over logs. Twice
he fell fiat For long way these
iangry Bees followed Farmer Browns
Boy. and by the time they gave up
he was about ready to give up him
self. You see he had run SO nara
THAT he was quite out of breath.
| Now, quite naturally, he had run to-
ward home and so away from the
lstump where he had left the jack
knife which had been the cause OF
his return to the Bee-tree just in
golden honey. He had forgotten all
about that knife. There We're too
imany things to think of, including
half a dozen smarting places where
bees had tried their sharp little
!lances.
1t was not until he was telling the
folks at home about the Bee-tree and
Buster Bear that he remembered that
knife. Now, as you know, FARMER
Browns boy thought great deal OF
that knife. 1t was one of his treas
lures. So late that afternoon he once
more started for the Green Forest.
HE knew that if that knife were left
i out all night it would rust, and that
jwould never do.
AS he drew near the stump on which
The had left that knife he heard
deep, rumbly, grumbly growl ahead OF
him Farmer Browns boy stopped in
Istantly. He knew that growl. 1t was
the same groWl he had heard that
morning. 1t was Buster Bears growl
Farmer Browns Boy was tempted to
run for that growl had an ugly sound
Then he remembered the fright of
Buster that morning and decided not
Ito run. Besides, he wanted that
knife.
| For a minute or two he stood
listening. He heard more growls, but
they came no nearer. In fact, they
lappeared to come from one place, and
THAT was very near that old slump on
which he had left the knife. In
stantly, Farmer Browns boy became
!flled with curiosity. From the sounds
[! he felt sure that Buster Bear was
too much occupied with something to
be aware of his presence.
! Very, very carefully he stole for
ward until he could part the boughs
| of young hemlock tree and peep
Through. There was the old stump
and on it just where he had left it
was his knife. And there was Buster
Bear walking around that old stump
with his eyes fixed on that shining
knife and growing to himself.
