A new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor
and reduces gasoline bills from one

ment of the Air-Friction Carburetor
Co, $50, Madison street. Dayton. Ohio.
This remarkable invention not only in

one to run slow on high gear. 1t also
makes it easy to start a Ford or any
other car in the coldest weather. You
can use the very cheapest grade of

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
45 to so miles to a gallon of gasoline.
so sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send it on

Dempsey Also
Trying Secret Stuff
in Final Workouts

Atlantic City, n. j., June 2S-Jack
Dempsey ripped another page out of
Georges Carpenters training pro-
gram today when he staged a pri-
vate workout after announcement
had been made that he would box in
public. He worked lightly for ff-
teen minutes in the old airplane
shed back of the camp with only
newspapermen and a few friends as
spectators.
Several hundred persons sweltered
in the heat outside of the camp,
hoping that the champion would
change his mind but the doors were
locked and guards shouted that the
champion would not work.
The newspaper correspondents re-
fused to leave and became so persis-
tent that the champions trainer fl
nally ordered the gates swung open
to them.
After the strenuous high speed
workout in secret yesterday, Demp-
sey began the process of tapering
off this afternoon and only boxed
two rounds in addition to two
rounds of bag punching.
He also limbered up with some
bending exercises on the floor of the
ring after the session with the
gloves. Dempsey perspired profuse-
ly after smuggling the light inflated
bag for three minutes and the heavy
stuffed bag for another three min
utes rounds. He was dripping wet
when he finished the two rounds of
boxing.
The experts regarded Dem psey's
boxing more favorably than they did
when they last saw him in action on
Sunday. He boxed with more ener-
gy and pep" they thought, and was
hitting harder.
| After returning from a walk this
! morning, Dempsey jumped on the
scales and balanced the beam at 19i
pounds.
He probably will reduce two more
pounds in the final days of training
and lose another pound when he
dries out Friday.
Matt Hinkel, the Cleveland ref
cree, after keen observation Of his
| condition, said Dempsey looked
